Fourth drabbleof the A Few Words for You arc. A random element, a random pairing, 100-150 words.
Pairing: Yuya/Akira
Element: lighting/thunder/electricity

Author's note: This drabble is dedicated to Neko-chan, who gracefully asked for a Yuya/Akira pairing. And since that couple has been around in my mind for a while… It's not exactly darkness, but you'll see that it's close enough, Neko-chan! (I don't consider darkness as an element, unfortunately.)
Forewarning
Thunder peeled in the dark evening sky. Yuya waited, counting the seconds before the inevitable booming sound crashed.
When it did, Akira's flinch was so small she thought she had imagined it. But then another bolt struck, and she knew she was right.
"Akira...?"
Akira turned a pale smile on her.
"I can't see thunder, so I can't prepare myself for the sounds," he said simply. Yuya guessed the rest; he couldn't predict it, so it was always a surprise to his sensitive ears, leaving him partially deaf and more vulnerable to enemies for a few crucial moments.
Yuya rose gracefully and came to kneel beside Akira, placing a light hand on his arm. Whenever thunder flashed, she pressed a gentle warning againsthis skin.
I'm calling out a challenge to whoever would like to take up the theme. Pick a couple (as randomly as you wish), an element, and keep the drabble within 100-150 words.
