Another rumble of thunder shook the window panes of Ellie's room. He smoothed his hand over Juniper's amethyst hair as she buried her face further against his chest.

As soon as he had heard the first crack of thunder he knew it was going to be a long night. Juniper was at his bedroom door in seconds and Ellie told her to come in at the first tentative knock. They cuddled close together, just like during their sleepovers when they were little, when they would whisper about anything and everything.

"It's almost over Junebug. Just a little longer." He murmured, placing a gentle kiss against her forehead. A small sob ripped from her throat as she twisted his shirt in her hands. His heart squeezed with sympathy to hear his usually fearless friend so scared.

C-CRACK BOOM.

The room flashed as thunder rolled, making both of them jump.

"Gods.." Ellie breathed. "I think we've had enough rain, Great Ameer. Could you calm down with the thunder?" He joked, just managing to catch Juniper's weak laugh. He gave her forehead another kiss, settling back to wait out the storm with his best friend.
