Luke was never a huge fan of storms, in fact, he basically hated them, almost as much as he hated basically everything else in this town, but he had found some peace in this run-down and crime filled city.

His 'peace' had a name, Ryan, and Ryan was basically the life ring the held Luke above drowning, however, Luke was so sure that Ryan didn't know that, they really only talked when they needed each other for games or just to have a small catch up in the nearby cafe. yet Luke basically depended on those small talks, hell even getting a glimpse of the grey hoodie wearing male was enough to make him smile.

Luke swore as he felt the rain start picking up, letting a waterfall of swear words leave his lips he ran under shelter, taking refuge in a nearby restaurant, the waitress gave him a weird look but noticed the rain and offered him an umbrella, which he thankfully, promising to give it back tomorrow, he left the restaurant almost as soon as he entered, running down towards his apartment block, he quickly opened the door and shut it closed, leaning against it as he panted, taking in deep breaths of air that he had lost from running.

"I told you he'd be here soon!" A voice called one that was easily recognized as his high school friend: Jonathan Dennis.

Immediately Luke frowned, marching into the room he heard Jonathan's voice come from, it was his living room and seated on the couch hidden under some blankets was Ryan who was shaking, staring at the TV screen that was showing some sort of horror movie scene. 

"How the fuck did y-" Luke began only to be interrupted by a loud crash of thunder, he jumped and almost fell floor in a panic, which caused Jonathan to laugh loudly, Luke shot him a glare, before regaining his composure. "H-How the fuck did you get inside my house- i locked the fucking do-" He was interrupted once again, by the roar of thunder, which caused him to squeak in surprise.

Jonathan was starting to tear up laughing, he wiped his eyes and gasped for air, as Ryan gave Luke a concerned look. "Damn that storm is really close by, hell we might be in the eye of the storm for all I know," Jonathan explained, watching as Luke tensed as the words processed in his mind.

"Luke? Are you okay? You look a little pale," Ryan asked, standing up and walking over to him, an eyebrow raised at the way his boyfriend had been acting.

Luke nodded slowly, "Yeah, just uh," He stopped, as if trying to think of a lie, "I just have wet socks and it's making my feet numb," He laughed.

Jonathan snickered, "He's scared of thunderstorms, Didn't you know that Ryan?" Jonathan asked, looking from Ryan to Luke.

"No? He never really talks about his fears, unless it's in the heat of the moment type of thing," Ryan explained, making weird hand gestures as he did so.

Luke was silent as he heard the rain outside, it was starting to get significantly heavier as the storm rage on, he took in a deep breath (which was too shaky for his liking) and walked into the kitchen, "Anyone want some hot chocolate?" He asked, trying to change the topic of his fears, his confidence was basically in shambles and he was trying so hard to keep it alive.

Ryan nodded, "Hell yeah! Jonathan over here forced me to watch all the paranormal activities in one night, a marathon of horror plus his bad jokes," Ryan laughed, which caused Jonathan to let out an offended "Hey!" 

"Ha. Have fun with that," Luke responded, rolling his eyes and pulling out the milk and two mugs, "How'd Jon even get in here?" He asked, focusing on not spilling the milk as he poured it into the cups carefully.

"Window," Jonathan responded casually, "Ryan almost "Window," Jonathan responded casually, "Ryan almost knocked me out, thought I was some sort of bad robber," he chuckled. causing Ryan to laugh sheepishly.

"Well you can get your ass back out that window, It's me and Ryan time," Luke teased, pointing to the window with his thumb.

"Oh, it's that type of time huh? alright, I'll go, just remember to use protection you two," Jonathan grinned, laughing at his own joke as he stole a nearby umbrella and ran out into the rain, closing the door as he left.

Jonathan's comment made both Luke and Ryan blush slightly, however, they both laughed it off, after a few minutes of quiet talk the hot chocolate was done, Luke had carefully walked over to the couch, sitting next to Ryan as he handed him a mug, being extremely careful to not spill anything, he nervously glanced at the window, noticing the flashes of lightning that made him tense slightly, however he was calmed when he felt Ryan wrap a blanket around him and cuddle into his side, Luke smiled at him, before picking up the controller, scrolling through some other movies to watch.

"What do you wanna watch?" he asked, looking down at Ryan who was sipping his hot chocolate happily.

"Lion king?" Ryan suggested, as he watched the title pop up in the recommended section, Luke nodded eagerly.

"Try not to cry too much, a'ight?" 

"Shut up you,"

The movie began without a problem, it was the first introduction scene, the one where Simba was being shown off to the animals of Africa, when Ryan suddenly gasped, spooking Luke a little bit.

"LUKE ARE YOU MUFASA?" 

"What?"

"You've got that magnificent beard and Mufasa has that amazing mane- I knew it."

"Shut the fuck up, you idiot." Luke laughed, flicking Ryan's forehead.

They continued watching the movie happily, however, their smiles faltered as they watched the wilder beast storm down into the canyon, they watched in horror as Mufasa ran into the canyon, grabbing Simba and pulling him up to safety on nearby rocks, trying to pull himself up failing as he was knocked down and possibly trampled by the animals, 

Ryan's eyes were starting to water as he watched Simba poke at his father's side, trying to wake him up, Ryan was now in tears, pressing his face into Luke's arm and sobbing sadly, Luke sighed and pulled him closer.

"It's so sad! He's trying to wake him up!" Ryan cried, as Luke started to shake his head, kissing Ryan's cheek soothingly,

"Shh, he's here with us in spirit," Luke laughed, placing his hand on his chest in a dramatic fashion.

"You just killed the mood," Ryan giggled, wiping his tears away.

"At least you're not crying," He pointed out.

"Shut up and cuddle me,"
