Wonshik's POV
The sky was all dark, and the sky was covered with clouds.

"Taekwoon..." I began saying. "Looks like it's going to rain.."

"R-Rain?" He stammered. "That's okay, I mean, no lightning right?" He then chuckled.

"Um Taekwoon?" Jiseong's loud voice had budded in. "The weather forecast calls for thunder and lightning again."

"WHAT?" Taekwoon panicked. He sat down on his bed, running his fingers through his hair. "Not again..." He muttered.

"Taekwoon?" I said.

I was actually a bit worried this time. Last time, we barely got through the night. For most of it, we spent it talking, but that just made me tired out for the next day. I need enough hours of sleep...

"It can't be lighting again..." He whispered to himself. His eyes were fixated on the ground, as he rocked his body back and forth.

I hopped off my bed and sat beside him. Then I put my arm around his shoulders and I pulled him closer to me.

"You'll be fine Taekwoon. Remember last time? You made it out of the storm, alive. You can handle this." I tried encouraging him.

"I-I can try." He said, still focusing on the ground.

What do I do now? I'd offer to sleep with him again, but last time was supposed to be the only time we slept together!

"Hey Taekwoon, don't be so down. Try smiling, it may help." I tried encouraging him.

"Wonshik." He turned and buried his face in my chest.

He was so close to me, why? He was not pushing away, and neither was I. Why was that? I can push him off right here and right now, but this just feels right. It feels nice having him lay down on me, having him close to me....

WHAT AM I SAYING? He has Hakyeon!!! I'm just- I don't what I am to him..

"Y-Yeah Taekwoon..?" I said softly, gently putting my hand on his back.

"Will you..." He sniffled. "Will you stay with me again? I-I know I said last time would be the only time, and I'm sorry.." He moved away from my chest and turned away. "I'm sorry for asking, just forget it."

I chuckled and put my hand on his cheek, to turn his head and face me. "If you want me to, I'll be okay with it."

He looked at me with happiness in his eyes and a big smile across his face. He nodded his head yes and started laughing.

"Yes please Wonshik!! Thank you!!" He leaned over and gave me a long hug.

Instead of hesitating and pushing away, I just smiled and hugged him back. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Sanghyuk's POV
"Um... Hakyeon?" I called him over to the couch.

He was in the kitchen grabbing a glass of water, then he hurried in the living room where I was.

Hongbin was still here, yet he was in the washroom showering.

"Yeah Sanghyuk? What's up?" He asked, sipping his water.

"I-I don't mean to be a bearer of bad news, but-"

"THERE'S LIGHTNING TONIGHT?" He yelled, looking at the television screen which had the news channel turned on.

"Yeah..." I said with my head down.

"My poor Taekwoon..." He said as he nearly let his tears loose.

"Come here Hakyeon." I held my arms out and waited to see if he would actually come over to me.

He surprisingly did, and started weeping softly. I wrapped my arms around him, and his face was pressed against my chest.

"I-I miss him." He cried out, clenching onto my shirt.

"It's okay Hakyeon, it's okay." I tried reassuring him.

I rubbed his back and rested my chin his shoulder.

Hakyeon's POV
As I watched the news, my heart was racing and tears swelling up in my eyes.

He hates lightning; it's his biggest fear.

"HAKYEON!" He screamed.

"What? What?" I asked him, not knowing of his fear.

"T-The lightning!!" He screamed again, hiding behind my shirt.

I chuckled at his cute reaction, then held both of his hands and gazed into his eyes. "Taekwoon, I'll always be here to protect you from the lightning and from whatever else you ask of me. You don't have to be scared anymore Taekwoon, I'm here." I told him, gently kissing his soft lips.

A tear rolled down his face, and his eyes were squeezed tight. His hands were shaking and he was shivering with fear.

"S-Stay with me Hakyeon." He said as he broke apart from our kiss.

"I will Taekwoon, for as long as you want me around." I answered, holding him close to me and registering this moment in my memory for an eternity.

"My poor Taekwoon..." I cried out, holding back my tears from actually falling.

"Come here Hakyeon." Sanghyuk said to me, holding out his arms to me.

His hugs were so warm and filled with so much love. He's my best friend, I love this guy.

I walked over to him, allowing a few tears to fall out of my eyes, but then I just burst as I sat down beside him. I laid my cheek against his chest and cried ever so softly. I gripped onto the fabric of his shirt, trying to breath in and stop crying, yet nothing was working.

"I-I miss him." I told Sanghyuk, holding him tightly.

"It's okay Hakyeon, it's okay." He told me.

He rubbed my back and rested his chin on my shoulder. This feels a bit odd having him THIS close to me, but I liked having him this close. I liked having Sanghyuk here with me.
