Warning! Contains shonen-ai! If you don't like that stuff, don't read this!

Another bolt of lightning flashed, so close the resulting thunder made the windows shake. That's not to say the windows were all that was shaking; it was a little known fact that Kain Fuery was deathly afraid of thunderstorms.

Nonetheless, he was sitting in the living room, waiting for his lover to return home. Havoc had been working overtime lately, it seemed that Mustang had neglected some rather important paperwork, and had to do a lot of work to compensate.

So, that meant that Kain spent quite a few nights waiting on the couch for Jean to finish and return. Normally, he didn't mind, but-

BOOM!

Kain flinched, why did it have to be so loud! It really wouldn't do to have Jean see him this worked up, he's probably think Kain an awful coward, and-

This train of thought was broken, not by a boom of thunder, but rather Jean's hand on Kain's shoulder.

"Eek! Erm, uhm… eh, I didn't hear you come in Jean."

"Of course not, not with your teeth chattering so bad." Jean replied good-naturedly. He continued, "You've never told me that you were afraid of thunderstorms."

Kain laughed nervously. "I'm not, it's just-" Another boom of thunder stopped him mid sentence, and caused him to flinch.

"Uh-huh. And I'm going to quit smoking tomorrow. Let's get you to bed."

He effortlessly picked up the smaller man, and began to carry him down the hall, despite Fuery's protests. "But, I…"

Havoc shut the smaller man up with a kiss as he walked into their small bedroom. Grinning, he tossed the smaller man on the bed, and quickly followed.

"Now, let's see if we can take your mind off this storm."

Kain Fuery gulped. This could be bad.
