Description: After Sonny's long trip to Canada, he settles in Joel's house and is welcomed by a thunderstorm…
"Ugh why did it have to rain today?" frowned Sonny as he looked out the window at the rain pounding on it.
"Hey they did say there was gonna be rain today." replied Joel pointing to his TV.
"I was so looking forward to playing the concert tonight too." said Sonny angrily folding his arms.
"Ah get it over it, it'll dry up." assured Joel walking to his kitchen.
A crash of thunder occurred causing Sonny to jump off the bed.
"Whoa they didnt say anything about it being a thunderstorm." said Joel.
He came walking back in his room with two cups of coffee.
"Skrills? Skrills where are you?" called Joel putting down the coffees.
"Under here." murmured Sonny.
"Where?" asked Joel looking around.
"Here." murmured Sonny raising a hand.
Joel looked under his bed and found a shaking Sonny with his hands over his face.
"Come out from under there Skrills, it's just thunder." said Joel.
Sonny crawled out from under Joel's bed still a little scared and stood up.
Another crash of thunder landed.
Sonny jumped again and this time landed in Joel's arms.
"Scared of thunder?" asked Joel.
Sonny shamefully nodded and mumbled, "Yes."
"Well lets put it this way, think of the thunder like it's uh someone bowling in the clouds." suggested Joel.
Sonny thought about the storm in Joel's view. He started to feel better.
"And if youre scared of lightning, think of it as lasers or strobe lights." Joel continued.
Joel set Sonny down back on his bed.
Sonny looked out the window. He looked at the wind fiercely blowing on the trees, the streaks of lightning flashing across the sky, the rain slamming down hard onto the Earth's surface.
Joel lightly tapped his shoulder.
"Coffee?" he offered.
"Thanks." Sonny said taking a mug.
He took light sips of the warm coffee as he watched the storm.
"Hey Skrills, wanna watch some TV?" asked Joel.
"Nah." said Sonny.
"Why not?" questioned Joel.
"I wanna watch Mother Nature do it's own concert for us…" said Sonny.
"Mind if I join?" asked Joel.
"Not at all." replied Sonny.
Joel turned off his TV and sat next to Sonny on his bed, watching the storm.
Another crash of thunder.
"Strike." jested Joel.
The two chuckled from Joel's remark.
Sonny looked at Joel, then at the storm, then back at Joel. He scooted a little closer to him.
Joel felt Sonny get closer and thought he nudged. He put his arm around him and looked at him for a brief moment.
Sonny looked as well.
When their eyes met, they both smiled, Sonny looked away and blushed.
Joel kissed him on the forehead, let out a small chuckle, and looked back at the storm.
The blushy-faced Sonny looked at Joel then back at the storm and asked,
"Joel…"
"Yeah?" he asked.
"Do you think we'll perform a kickass show tonight?"
At first there was no response, thinking Joel had ignored him, so he stayed silent.
"You bet your sweet ass we will." Joel finally responded.
Sonny smiled in response to that. He huddled closer to Joel.
The two happily continued to stare at the storm for the rest of the morning…
