"shit" mason groaned as the tv shut off and the power went out. the rain was beating down on the roof, along with thunder and lighting. for some reason i have an irrational fear of thunderstorms, and now the powers out.

"okay what the hell now i'm scared." i turn my phone flashlight on, making mason laugh. he pulls me closer to him, kissing my cheek.

"nothings gonna happen baby, i'm right here. it's okay" mason reassures me, making me smile.

another round of thunder hits, making me move more into mason's chest. i cover myself more with our shared blanket, wrapping my arms around mason's torso and burying my face in his chest.

he puts his hand under my shirt and rubs my back soothingly, laying his other hand on the back of my head. 

"i want this to be over, i hate thunderstorms they scare me." i mumble as lightning strikes, lighting up the dark room.

"i know honey, it'll pass. don't worry about it too much okay?" mason stands up, taking us to the kitchen.

he sits me on the counter, kissing my forehead and going to the pantry to find food. "what do you want to eat? there's chips, cookies, goldfish, anything you want" i swing my feet back and forth, "doritos" i wrap my blanket tighter around myself and jump as the storm gets louder.

"oh my God" i whine, giggling a little. mason chuckles as he comes over to me with the doritos, sitting them next to me.

i pull him closer as he stands inbetween my legs, wrapping his arms around me and putting his head on mine. "i know something that could distract you." he smirks, grabbing my cheek and pulling me towards him.

i gasp as he gently kisses me, rubbing my waist with his thumb. another flash of lightning hits, making me flinch and grab masons arm. he starts smiling into the kiss, causing me to pull away and laugh.

he lifts me off the counter, throwing me over his shoulder and walking to his room. "mason!" i squeal, smacking his butt as he walks up the stairs, using his flashlight so he can see.

i finally get down, walking over to the window and looking out of it. it's still pouring rain, the wind is blowing and the lighting just struck a tree down. masons comes behind me and puts his hand on my back, leaning down to kiss my head.

i turn around, leaning up to kiss mason's cheek and lay down in his bed. he follows me, getting in his bed and tickling me.

"mase! oh my God stop" i giggle, kicking my legs and trying to push him away. mason pins my hands above my head with one hand and continues to tickle my stomach with the other one.

he finally stops and sits up, taking off his shirt. "it's hot in here" he groans, yanking the blankets off of his bed. i look up at him, silently thanking God so he couldn't see the blush on my face. mason turns back around and shines his flashlight at me, seeing my red cheeks and me staring at him.

mason chuckles, turning back towards me and laying down, pulling me on his chest. "you're so warm i'm freezing" i lean forward, grabbing the blanket off the floor and put it on us. "baby how, it's hot in here." he mumbles into my hair. "because you're in here." i giggle, covering my face with my hands.

"you're so cute" mason laughs as he pulls me closer, putting his hand underneath my shirt and rubbing my back. thunder hits again outside, making a huge "boom" sound. mason and i both jump this time, my heart starting to race.

"i'm not gonna be able to sleep until this is over mase. i can't do it i hate storms" i whisper, getting comfortable on his chest but i know i won't be able to sleep. "i got you baby, i'm right here. just go to sleep i'm not going anywhere." he kisses my temple, continuing to soothingly rub my back.

eventually i fall asleep, but i wake up in the middle of the night to a big clap of thunder. i groan and sit up a little, turning towards mason. he's still awake and sees me moving around, annoyed because the storm woke me up.

"c'mere honey, go back to sleep. i love you" mason puts his phone down and pulls me towards him, my back facing him. "mhm" i mumble, not even comprehending what he said. i finally fall back asleep, holding his hand thats wrapped around my waist.
