Thunder crashed loudly. In a darkened room, huddled under a mass of blankets, lay Yuugi, curled up, trying to block out the sound. He would cry out in fear every time thunder crashed. Yami entered the room, immediately going over to the lump on the bed.
"I'm here, aibou. Come, let me hold you." Yuugi peeked out from under the covers and shifted slightly. Another thunderclap startled him and he flinched, falling into Yami's waiting arms.
Yuugi's eyes were clenched tightly as he clung to Yami's shirt. Yami stroked Yuugi's hair, rocking him gently.
"It's okay to be afraid, aibou."
