454 Harrys POV
"finally, they return from outside!" I laughed, sitting up a little from underneath Dougies tiny body. He was laying on top of me currently, and had been laying on my chest, but had now turned round to look at Tom and Danny. "yeah, its raining outside, thought it was best to come in before Tommy got a cold." Danny playfully tickled Toms side, making him giggle loudly, revealing that Tom was now alright. Thank god for that. Danny brought Tom back into his arms, holding him close to his chest, protecting him and showing him the love he needed.
"ah well, come sit down and we'll think of something to do until it stops." Dougie smiled, dropping down on top of me backwards, pulling my arms around him so they were wrapped around his stomach. Danny dropped down next to us, pulling Tom down onto his lap, cuddling him like always, tangling their limbs together in a complicated mass of clothes and arms and legs. "pretty!" Tom pointed out the window, looking excited. "whats pretty Tom?" Danny asked, looking up at where Tom was pointing. "rain!" Tom answered, untangling himself from Danny and running to press himself to the window.
"ah, you and the rain." Danny shook his head lovingly, watching Tom watch the rain through the window in fascination. "pretty." Tom said again, looking up at the sky. "like you." Danny whispered, chewing on his lip a little.
Hours later, Tom still looked fascinated by the rain falling down, tracing some of the drops that fell down the window with his finger. It was honestly like a child who had never seen the rain before, completely captivated by the clear drops. He kept on muttering the word 'pretty' at it, pressing his face closer and closer to the window, like he was trying to press himself through the glass to go and play in the rain. Danny just watched him with such love in his eyes, looking so happy that his lover was so childishly spellbound by something as simple as rain. "he's never been this obsessed with rain before, has he?" I asked, I was sure that Tom had always liked rain, but never had been this obsessed with it. "no, I guess it's a part of the way his mind works now. Toms a child at the moment, an overgrown child, more so than usual. I guess its just a part of that." Danny shrugged, sitting up against the sofa.
"Toms seen the world in a really bad light for years, maybe he's just rediscovering it, starting to love it again." Dougie suggested, the both of us turned to look at him for that one. "Dougie…where the hell did that idea come from?" I tried not to sound shocked, because I knew that Dougie could work things out by himself, and was quite clever, but he didn't usually say his thoughts. "dunno, just thought of how different Tom is, how he was so depressed before, and now he's happier." Dougie explained, looked slightly embarrassed as we looked at him. "it's a good idea Dougs, as good as any of ours." I encouraged, giving him an encouraging smile and a kiss to the cheek. He blushed and looked down at our hands, shifting awkwardly. I just hugged him, whispering that he didn't need to be embarrassed, he was clever and he needed to show it more. In response, Dougie turned to cuddle into my neck, hiding in there like it would stop this conversation.
"guys, its getting near dinner, I think it'll be best to give Tom his food now while he's distracted." Danny sighed, getting up and going into the kitchen. He came back after a few minutes with a freshly microwaved meal of some sort and a fork, sitting in front of Tom on the windowsill. "Tommy, its dinner time." He said simply, stabbing some potatoes with the fork, holding it up to Tom, who ate it without a fuss, going back to look out the window. He ate happily the whole meal, completely distracted by the outside world, making Danny grin. "I'm proud of you, well done." Danny praised, hugging Tom close and kissing his pale, slightly fatter, cheek. He looked like he was finally gaining weight, which was a miracle, Tom actually looked a bit more human again, even in Dannys huge arms.
455 Dougies POV
Tom watched the rain all night, leaning in Dannys arms, practically laying on top of him. Danny was talking quietly to him, saying random nonsense, some things making Tom giggle quietly. They looked so happy, like an actual couple. They looked so comfortable with each other again, falling into their regular positions, before anything had happened to either of them. So, me and Harry took the opportunity to cuddle up together too, ignoring the world for a while.
We were in the middle of a very enjoyable kiss when thunder rolled across the sky, Tom screamed a little, nearly falling off the window ledge in fright. "whoa! Where you going Tom?" Danny grabbed at Tom, holding him still. "loud noise! Really loud noise!" Tom whimpered, covering his ears. "its only thunder Tom, its not going to hurt you." Danny pulled Toms hands away, pressing them against his chest, his own arms keeping Toms ones still. Thunder clapped across the sky again, lightning following it, flashing across their faces.
"too loud!" Tom shook his head, pushing his head into Dannys chest. "aw baby, its just thunder, its part of the rain sometimes. Its nothing to worry about." Danny ran a hand over Toms arm, kissing his hair gently. I got up and wandered over to the boys, hugging them too. "its okay Tom, its just thunder." Harry came over too, hugging us all. "don't like it!" Tom whined. "it'll pass baby, it'll be fine, its just a bit of thunder." Danny promised, hugging Toms little body. "scary and loud!" Tom answered in the same childish whiny tone. It wasn't annoying or anything, he just sounded so helpless. Like a toddler, a very scared, or sleepy, helpless toddler.
"its going to pass Tom, like all storms. Come on, we'll go do something else." Danny picked Tom up, carrying him to our games room. It was quiet in there, because it was in the middle of the house, and mostly soundproofed, for when one of us couldn't sleep and wanted to go play some xbox, without waking the other one up. This meant that there was no sound coming in from the outside, so the sound of thunder was completely blocked out. "there we go, no more thunder." Danny smiled, putting Tom down on the pool table, letting him hold onto his shirt, nuzzling into his chest.
"guys, could you put on some music? To help out a little." Danny sighed, obviously used to things like this. "yeah sure, any suggestions?" I asked, already flicking through my ipod. "Tommy, any ideas?" Danny asked, moving to look Tom in the eyes. Tom shook his head, hiding in Dannys shoulder, seeming a little calmer. I quickly found The Lion King soundtrack and put on Hanukah Matata, thinking it fitted in at the moment. Tom relaxed, almost instantly, looking more normal again. I was so thankful that he could so easily be calmed down right now. All it took was laying in the sun shine or putting on a song, or some cuddling to calm him and make him happy again. I had never seen it be so easy to calm him down, even before all these problems. "there we go, feeling better now Tommy?" Danny asked, fiddling with the long chain around the blondes neck holding the key. Tom nodded, bringing Dannys hand to his cheek, leaning into it, looking up at Danny with such a dependant look.
