(Still at the sleepover)
Late at night
°·°·Red's POV·°·°

I wake up to the sounds of thunder booming and lightning striking down on the world. I sit up and look up at Jess's window. Shoot! I forgot to ask her to close the curtains! Why did this have to happen now?! Couldn't this happen on a different day?! Ugh-Wait! I have to go somewhere to not wake the others I don't want them to know! Especially... Barney...he'll think that I'm a wimp and loser.

Suddenly I heard thunder crackling and a flash of light right outside of Jess's window again. I can feel the tears threatening to pour out of my eyes already. The rain pouring down on Jess's bedroom window making a thumping sound doesn't help me at all. Instead I feel my heart pound a little faster then it did before.

I look around me making sure everyone was asleep. I then slowly get up to my feet making sure not to make any sounds to wake them up. The lightning struck and the thunder boomed once again sending light into the room making me jump a little. I no longer got up slowly.

I quickly race out of the room not bothering to check on my friends. I run down the hallway and down the stairs feeling the tears flowing down my face and dripping onto the floor. I glanced around and rush to the dining room. I don't know why I'm going there though. I just want to get away from the storm. It always scared me as a kid and it always will....

As I get into the dining room I stop and look around for on quick second before heading to the corner of the room. I place my knees to my chest and swing my arms around my knees to bring them closer to my chest. I place my head down and let all the tears flow down my face. The sounds of the thunderstorm cried once again making my heart beat faster.

This reminds me so much of when I was a kid...everytime a thunderstorm came I would always close the curtains of my windows and cry in the corner of my room. I will always remember how I used to cry, sweat,twitch, have my heart rate grow faster, and jump whenever I heard the thunder and lightning play. I never knew what was wrong with me....and I never wanted anyone to know how I always cried during a thunderstorm.

But when I was seven my mom found me crying during a thunderstorm in the middle of the night. She had asked me what was wrong and I told her what was wrong and how I felt. She had told me that I had astraphobia. When I asked her what it was she told me that its when people are anxious, trembling alot, crying, sweating, have panicked reactions, nausea, get the feeling of dread, and have rapid heartbeats. I told her that I only felt half of those things and she said it was okay.

Everyday the kids at my old school would always tease me about it and say that I was afraid of thunderstorms. My mom saw kids tease me about it once and she decided that we should move. Thats why I'm right here right now. I still hate Purple for telling the whole school that.

Out of nowhere the thunder boomed once again and the lightning crackled shortly after. I jumped a little and stared out the dining room window to see the rain pounding on the glass.

I felt more tears flow down my face and my heart started beat 3x faster then it did before. I could feel myself heat up and my body started to twitch. I felt the feeling of dread overflow my brain. I know that this isn't gonna end well...

??????: "Reds?"

I jump and turn my attention to where the voice came from and scoot deeper into the corner I was in. Even though I didn't know who said it I still feel unsafe.

Barney's POV(I will only add the Barney's accent when he talks)

I woke up to the sounds of thunder and lightning striking down along with the sounds of the floor board creaking. I open my eye to see someone's feet running across the floor and out the door. I sit up and see a glimse something red run out of the door.I instantly knew who it was.
I hear the them run down the stairs and before I could hear which way they went the sounds faded away into nothingness. I look around to see if anyone else was awake. Seeing that my friends were not awake signaled me to go check down stairs to see what was going on.

I get up quietly and make sure not to disturb my friends from their slumber. I walk out the door and into the hallway.

As I was walking down the hallway I look into a mirror and see my reflection looking back at me. I took my eye off the mirror and looked on the spruce table in front of the mirror with one lit candle on top. I look at the way the fire on the candle sways back and fourth in a smooth way as if it were dancing.

I was always so curious about so many things about fire. I would always look at a candle and see how the colors danced together in harmony and how the fire looked so beautiful that you would always want to touch it. Trust me I once touched fire and that...that was a mistake! (Life lessons from Barney 101)

After awhile of staring at the candle I take itaand use it as my light and head down stairs. As I head down stairs I try and find where he went. I suddenly hear faded crying near the dining room.As I follow the sounds of sobbing the thunder boomed and lightning struck once again. The fire on the candle suddenly went out. Great! Just great! Now I have no light to see! But at least I have ears.

The more I walked towards the dining room the more the sounds of sobbing become clearer. I stopped in the doorway of where the sounds came from to not scare Red. The thunderstorm cried out again a made Red cry even more. I can't see him so I need to call his name to see where he is...

Barney: "Reds?"

I heard him gasp and I rushed to where I heard him. As I got closer to him I heard him move deeper into the corner of the room.

Barney: "Reds...its ok"

Red: "S-Stay away! P-Please..."

Red's POV

I don't know who it is and I don't care. I'm scared out of my mind right now and I don't need anyone to tease me about it.

??????: "Reds...its me"

As the strange figure got closer to me the night light shining from the window gave me a glimse of who it was.

Red: "B-Barney?"

Barney shushed me then walked closer to me giving me a hug. He held me close to him and all I could do was cry and twitch. I hugged him back feeling the warmth of his body. I then hid my face in his chest to make me feel comfortable while I sobbed.

I felt my heart rate go down and my twitching stopped. As I was about to say something to Barney the thunderstorm cried out making me cry more and my heart rate went up once again. I let out a muffled scream hinting Barney of why I was crying.

Barney's POV

As the thunderstorm cried out again Red cried even more and let out a scream onto my chest. I shushed him once more trying to calm him.

Barney: "Its ok. Lets it alls out Reds. I'ms here fors you. Yous are safe withs me"

Red let out another muffled scream and more tears stained my shirt. My only question is why is he crying? Is he scared of thunderstorms? I look down at my little red dino crying into my arms. I then pet his head a told him soothing words to calm him down.

When he could no longer cry he sniffled uncontrollably then made little baby noises that sounded like he was saying 'haboo'. When I could no longer wait for answers I cupped his face and made him look at me. I sighed then stared into his chocolate brown eyes while he stared into my eye.

Barney: "Reds why ares you cryings?"

He then broke eye contact and pushed me away.

Barney: "Reds? Whats wrongs?"

Red didn't say anything he just looked at the floor and traced circles with his finger. I then scooted closer to him and made eye contact with him once again.

Red: "...I-I....I'm s-scared.."

Barney: "Of whats Reds?"

Red: "O-Of.....t-thunderstorms. I-I have a-astraphobia"

Barney: "Whats thats?"

Red: "I-Its when someone is s-scared of t-thunderstorms"

I don't know why but I felt...I feel broken. I don't know how to put it in words but I feel crushed. Why would he not tell me? Was I not a good enough friend?

Red's POV

Barney didn't speak for awhile and it was worrying me. Is he......mad?

Barney: "Oh...ok"

I don't know why but Barney sounded...disappointed? Is he mad that I didn't tell him? Is he disappointed that his friend is a wimp? I-I feel like crying again. I don't want to lose Barney like this. I don't want to lose him at all.

I started to sniffle uncontrollably again just by thinking about life without Barney. I then scooted back towards Barney and pulled him into a hug.

Red: "I-I'm sorry B-Barney! I w-was scared t-to tell you b-because I'm a l-loser that d-doesn't deserve a p-person like you! I-!"

Before I could finish I felt a pair of soft gentle lips against mine. I looked to see whose lips were against mine and I saw Barney! I soon melted into the kiss and wrapped my arms around Barney's neck.

We then broke the kissed and stared at eachother right before I blushed.

Barney: "Heh. Sorrys Red I-uh wannas watch some TVs ins the livings room?"

Red: "Sure"

We then walked over to the living room to watch some anime. After awhile of watching tv I cuddled closer to Barney and let slumber take over.
============================
Sorry it took me forever to write a new chapter I've just been busy and....yeah. I hope you enjoyed this chapter of Redney and yeah peace ✌

Fact: I actually got an idea to write this chapter because I've been reading facts about skymedia and one of facts were that Max gets anxiety when a balloon pops. So I searched up if people get anxiety when there are thunderstorms.The thunderstorm idea came from the weather because on Thursday and Friday its been raining. The idea for Red to have astraphobia was because I was thing about adding Redney in the story so yeah.

Red does not have astraphobia irl just making that clear.
