I could have never imagined that my dear Shuichi is afraid of thunderstorms.
You are so happy all the time that I thought that you don't afraid anything.
I would never admit it, but you look much cuter shaking and crying in bed.
when I first time saw your fear of thunder, it was midnight and you were shaking badly and holding pillow around your ears.
I almost went there and took you into my arms. But I didn't.
I just looked at that cute little pink head of yours.
Then I decided, that I listen to the weather news and if it says anything about thunderstorms, I let you sleep with me, but first I'll make sure you sleep so peacefully that you don't hear it.
Sometimes I'm out late and you have to be alone.
And those times I hope that you're okay.
Sometimes I held you close to me and let you cry.
Today is also thunderstorm.
News reporter promised nice weather and I was in bad mood, so I didn't let you to my bed.
In the midnight, I hear thunderstorm.
I rush to your room, to see if you need me. And my heart is aching very badly, when I see you crying there. So I run to your bed and took you into my arms. You keep shaking and crying. You also keep calling my name.
"Shuichi honey. it's okay now. I'm here. don't be afraid." I whisper to you holding you closer.
"Why aren't you laughing at me?" You ask still shaking.
"Why would I laugh at you?" I ask surprised.
"Because I'm afraid of thunder. I know what causes thundering at why it is thundering, and I know that lightning is a good thing for the nature, but I'm still afraid."
" I already knew that you're afraid of thunderstorms. But I didn't tell it to you, because you might cry and I thought that you don't want anyone to know it."
"Since when?" You ask and stop shaking.
"Don't remember anymore." I say and pull you up.
You refuse to let me go, but I don't care. I take you to my room. And put you to my bed.
Then I sit down next to you and hold you while trying to calm you down.
" Yuki, I'm really afraid. I can't help it. I know that it's not dangerous but it's so dark outside and that lightning is so scary."
"I know Shuichi. Listen, I also used to fear thunderstorms when I was younger. I got over my fear."
"How?" You ask and this time you are watching my face.
"I started to think, that thunder is some pack of horses running wild, and it helped."
Then you look at me again and I see how much you want to go over your fear.
"Maybe this will help you: Imagine that you're singing in concert. And thunder is group of your fans listening." I say to you.
Five minutes later you say: " Yuki, it helped! I'm not afraid anymore."
"Good. Now go to sleep." I say smiling to you.
"Can I sleep next to you?" You ask that cute look on your face.
"Fine."
Fifteen minutes later you ask: "Did you really used to be afraid of thunderstorms?"
"No. I lied."
"Why?"
"Because I don't want to see you afraid. I wasn't sure does it help you or not, but I read it somewhere."
"Yuki, thank you." You whisper to me. I also hear you mumbling that you love me.
"You're welcome. I love you Shu-chan" I whisper to the night ignoring thunderstorm and hugging you.
And before falling asleep, I think that you should have more things you are afraid of, because you look so adorable then.
