The door to my room flew open following my bed bouncing, it's springs creaking in surprise at the sudden added weight. I woke from the sudden force in my stomach, I looked down to see a fluff of pink trying to burrow further and further into my stomach. Pitiful whines came from him, which was surprising; I had never seen Szayel like this. I try to pry him off of me to get more oxygen in my lungs, when thunder broke out and which caused him to push himself back to me with a surprising force. I try to sooth him, but everytime I get close to where he stops trembling thunder strikes again and the process restarts. He shakes in my hold and flinches occasionally when thunder strikes or when I try to pet his hair.
Instead I grab the softest blanket I have near me and wrap us around us, then following with the heavier blankets to make a cocoon that actually muffled the noise to a degree where the smaller ones were difficult to hear. The cocoon itself was big enough that we had some room but was still fairly small. I rub his scalp and whisper somewhat soothing words, trying to calm him down humming and holding him close. Eventually he does calm down and immediately tries to get away from me; I can feel his face burning in embarrassment when he tries to register where he is, but I pull him back to me knowing he will freak out again. He most likely came here in a rush so he doesn't even know what's going on. My action makes his face burn, and eventually lets me hold him waiting until his face calmed down to speak.
"Excuse me, but I would like you to refrain from touching me too casually."
"Excuse me, but you were the one clinging to me not five seconds ago."
His face steamed at the comment which I could feel against my neck, once again and he looked away as well as he could in the cocoon of blankets. When thunder decided that it wasn't going to be put up with being ignored, Szayel once again tries to get closer; this time hugging me around my chest arms wrapped around my neck, and put his head near mine holding them so close together and with the rush of trying to get close to me he hit the side of my head most likely scraping some skin. Which I allow, even though it still hurts, and continue to massage his scalp trying to calm him down, "Don't worry it's only thunder."
Once again trying to calm him down I almost fall asleep after a while he finally moves his head out from under my head to face me as well as he could in the dark also taking in account the close proximity, "I know, it's just that… It's a bit more surprising and a lot louder than I originally thought."
I nod, even though he can't see it. I lay down on the pillow and almost fall victim to the need of sleep. The storm outside starts to die and he relaxes more in my hands. Soon a slight purr starts to come from him, and he completely relaxes going limp and most likely going to sleep. I chuckle and kiss his head putting his underneath mine. After this I don't think he'll be hanging around like this with me; probably even going to ignore me for a while.
I'm such an ass. I really hope the storm comes back tomorrow night.
