Garroth's POV

I was watching TV alone the guys were in their rooms. The power went out. I had just noticed it was pouring rain. Wow what luck. Then it happened. Lightning. Thunder and lightning. I know this is dumb but all the Ro'Meave brothers were afraid of thunder and lightning. Especially Vylad. I jumped at the sound of it and covered my ears. I needed to check on Zane and Vylad. I grabbed my phone and texted each of my brothers in a group chat. 

(G is Garroth. Z is Zane. V is Vylad)

G: Vylad! Zane! Are you both okay?!

G: Vylad Zane!

Z: What?!

G: Are you okay Zane?!

Z: No not really. Is Vylad okay?!

G: I don't know!

Z: I hate storms.

G: Me too. Text me if emergency okay.

Z: I know Garroth. 

I put my phone on the coffee table and curled into a ball. "Garroth are you okay?" A voice asked. I looked over to where the voice came from. It was Laurence. He sat next to me. "I-I-I I'm fine." I stuttered. "Garroth your shivering like crazy what's wrong?!" "M-Me and my b-brothers are scared to death of th-thunder and l-lightning. I d-don't know if Vylad is okay. He is the m-most afraid." I stuttered. He put his arms around me. "It's going to be okay Garroth I'm here." He answered calmly. I stared into his wonderful blue eyes. Wait Garroth you can't be admiring him! Can you? Forget it! "I-I'm scared for Zane and Vylad." I said. "They will be okay. I promise." He said. "Th-Thanks Laurence. Your a great friend." I said. He looked away. Did I do something wrong? "You are too Garroth." He said looking back at me. I heard a very loud flash of lightning and jumped a bit. Laurence held me there. "There is nothing to be afraid of Garroth. I'm here to help." He whispered softly. I heard more lightning but for some reason I wasn't really scared. Was it Laurence? "Dang it's a really bad storm... um hey guys." Travis said walking over to us. "What are you guys doing...?" He asked. "Umm Garroth is afraid of lightning." Laurence spoke up. "It runs in my family. Basically every Ro'Meave is." I said. Travis grinned. "Well he looks better in your arms Laurence." I blushed. The weird thing was it was true. I felt a bit better in his arms. "So are your brothers afraid too?" He asked. I nodded. "Especially Vylad. I haven't heard from him yet. I'm so worried." I said. I heard a louder flash of lightning and I tightly clung to Laurence scared for dear life. "It'll be okay Garroth." Laurence said rubbing my arm which surprisingly calmed me. "I'll text them for you." Travis said picking up his phone. I smiled at him. 

Travis's POV

I decided to text Zane first because why not?

(T is Travis. Z is Zane)

T: Hey are you okay? I checking up on you for Garroth.

T: Zane? Are you okay Zane?! Zane?

Z: I'm here... Why do you care if I'm okay?

T: Well one for Garroth and two your my friend!

Z: Friend?

T: Oh right. You hate me.

Z: I don't know exactly if I hate you. Maybe just mildly dislike you.

T: Either way your okay?

Z: Not really... But I can handle myself. 

T: Do you need company?

Z: Wait are you saying you would walk in the lightning storm just to make sure I'm okay for Garroth?

T: Anything for a friend. Plus I count you as my friend even if you 'mildly dislike' me.

Z: I don't want to force you to do that it doesn't sound fair.

T: I don't care I'm coming over. Whether you want me to or not. 

I turned my phone off and looked at the frightened Garroth. "I'm going over to Zane's house to make sure he is okay. I might spend the night. I just want to make sure he is okay. For you Garroth." I said grabbing my coat. "Thanks Travis. Your a real friend." Garroth said holding onto Laurence. I left and head out to Zane's house.

Dante's POV

I was sitting in my room. It was dark but I didn't care. I suddenly was being called by somebody. I picked up the phone. "H-Hello I-is th-this D-Dante?" A shaky voice said. "Vylad is that you?" I asked. "Y-Yes." "Are you alright?" 

"Not really."

"What's wrong?"

"I-I'm a-afraid of lightning." 

"Really why?"

"One it runs in my family, my brothers are afraid too, and b-because I was almost k-killed by it once."

"Oh my Irene Vylad I'm so sorry!"

"H-How is Garroth?"

"Let me check." I walked out of my room and saw Laurence cuddling a scared Garroth on the couch. "Garroth are you okay? Vylad asked." I said. He shot up. "Vylad! Is he okay?! Let me speak with him!" The blonde ran over to me. I handed him my phone and they began to talk. Then Garroth asked. "Why did you call Dante of all people?" I wasn't offended because I wondered the same thing. Sure we are great friends and all but me over his brother? "Because you feel safe around him? What does that even mean?!" Garroth questioned the phone. He felt safe around me. The blonde frowned and looked at me. "H-He wants to talk to you." He handed me my phone and walked over to talk with Laurence. I went to my room and sat on the bed. "So you feel safe around me huh?" I teased. "Y-You heard that?"

"Well Garroth kinda yelled it out right in front of me so yeah."

"He does that a lot."

"But why me. Why not Garroth or Zane. Or maybe even Aphmau?"

"I-I don't know. Your just very understanding and your so nice to me."

"Who wouldn't be nice to you? Your an amazing person!"

"Th-Thanks Dan-" He is cut off by a whimpering sound. "VYLAD?!" 

Zane's POV

I heard the doorbell ring. I ran and opened it. I pulled Travis inside and closed the door. "Do you need a towel?" I asked. "Yeah that would be nice thanks." I grab a towel from the bathroom and toss it to the male. He drys himself off a bit. I hear a loud crackle and I fall to the ground. I curl into a ball. "Zane?! Zane are you alright!" Travis yelled wrapping his arms around me. I heard more lightning and I hugged back. I buried my face into his chest. "It's okay. It's okay Zane." He continued to whisper into my ear. I heard more lightning but I didn't jump this time, I just sat in Travis's arms. Travis's strong arms. Wait what?! I didn't just think that... or did I? Oh shut it Zane! "A-Are Garroth and V-Vylad okay?" I asked still buried into his chest. "Yes they are fine. Garroth has Laurence. But I'm not that sure about Vylad but I know he will be okay." I looked up into his emerald green eyes. "Come let's sit on the couch." He said. We stood up and he walked me over to the couch and we sat down. I held onto him the whole time. And every time I heard lightning I would tighten my grip. "Zane you don't need to be afraid I'm here for you." I looked up at him. He was taller than me. A flash of lightning made his eyes sparkle. "Th-Thank you." I hugged him tight. I didn't want to let go.

Vylad's POV 

"VYLAD?!" Dante yelled through the phone. I curled into a ball and cried into my knees. I heard the phone hang up. Of course he hung up on me. I sat and cried I whimpered at the sound of lightning. A few minutes passed and the doorbell rang. I rushed to it and slowly opened the door. The bluenette hugged me tightly and I closed the door. "Are you okay? Are you hurt? What happened?" He questioned reminding me of Garroth. "I'm fine..." I said softly. He lifted my chin and I gazed into his ocean blue eyes. "Never scare me like that again. I thought you were being murdered for Irene's sake!" He said. "S-Sorry I just got scared." I said softly. "Please don't do that again." He whispered burying his face into my shoulder. He really cared. Or was he only doing this for Garroth? "H-How's Garroth?" I asked. "He doing fine. Laurence is helping him." He answered. Dante pulled away from my shoulder. "What's Laurence doing to calm him?" I asked. The bluenette grinned. "Cuddling him." "Awww so I'm missing my brother's first cuddle?" I joked. "He actually had Aaron as a snuggle buddy in Love~Love Paradise." He chuckled. He has a cute laugh. Dante's face turned red. "W-What?" I asked confused. "Umm... you said I have a cute laugh." He answered. I looked down embarrassed. "S-Sorry I was thinking out loud!" He laughed at me again. I heard a very loud flash of lightning. Maybe the loudest this whole night. I jumped and hugged Dante as hard as possible. "Don't worry Vylad I've got you." He said. He walked me to the couch and we sat down. I heard more lightning and squeazed Dante harder. He gently lifted me onto his lap. Even on his lap he was still taller than me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and held me by the waist. "Nothing will happen to you Vylad. I'm here." He softly whispered to me. I fell asleep.
