Thunderous (GrizzPan) Chapters 1-4
A thunderstorm sets in motions something… well… Thunderous. At least for Panda and Grizz. It’s strange, and different, and a bit nerve wrecking for the two of them. Maybe calling it love is a bit of a stretch, but affection still applies. Very strange affection that by all means should not be making them this excited.

“Sorry,” Panda mumbled in a quiet, defeated kind of tone. It actually in a strange way made Grizz’s belly turn just to hear it. Instinctively when Panda withdrew his paw he grabbed either end of the bed covers and tightened them around his brother and pulled him a little closer.
“Hey, I’m scared of snakes and our little bro is scared of uh… S-Stuff… He’s pretty private about that stuff, actually,” Grizz mumbled and then shook his head. He scooted closer to Panda and crossed his legs in a similar manner as his brother so they sat parallel to each other. “You used to cuddle up next to me in our box, remember? Whenever it rained. You made me lay on you cause you didn’t want to get wet.”
“Heh,” Panda chuckled a single time, but it didn’t sound disingenuous. “Y-Yeah, and… You never teased me when I cried about it.”
“Do you wanna cry now?” Grizz asked suddenly, not bothering to keep his voice quiet. The thought stuck him with such worry and concern that he had to lean forward.
“W-What, N…No…” Panda said in a tone that did actually sound not entirely truthful this go around. Grizz swallowed a lump in his throat and stared at his brother for a bit before extending both of his arms and straightening his back to look bigger than he actually looked. Big enough to sit at least four inches above Panda’s hunched height.
“C'mon, gimmie a hug just in case,” Grizz said and tapped one of his paws to his chest.
“Huh? No way, tha-”
“I promise I’m all fluffy and cuddly like a teddy bear,” Grizz said in a tone that might have been confused for teasing if he didn’t instantly grab ahold of Panda and pull him close. He forced his brother forward with his strength and nearly pulled the panda bear into his lap and hugged him. At first, he squirmed, but then he settled and managed to half-lay half sit in Grizz’s arms. He buried his muzzle into Grizz’s shoulders, and after a few moments of quiet protesting eventually lifted his own arms to cuddle Grizz back. Grizz squeezed him tighter in a genuine bear-hug and squirmed a little.
