Thunderstorms: A Polytrix Story
Some Angst and Rumi thinking that the girls hate her near the end. Happy Ending though!
Rumi had always been terrified of thunderstorms. Like curled up crying and jumping at any sound. The girls never knew about this because Rumi didn’t think she could ask for help. They don’t find out about her fear until they move out of Celine’s house.
Anyways the first time the girls find out about this fear is just some random night where Rumi left to go to sleep but Mira and Zoey stayed awake watching something. 15 minutes after Rumi left the thunderstorm started up. The girls don’t think much of it until Zoey hears something. She’s not 100% sure what she heard so she pauses the marine documentary that they’re watching. And after a minute or two Mira speaks up
“I don’t know I just thought I heard something. But I guess no-”
Zoey and Mira just look at eachother before wordlessly getting up and moving to Rumi’s room. Mira gently knocks on her door, causing another pitiful whimper to come out of Rumi.
Her response is a not so convincing yes.
The question “Could we come in?” is met with a meek sure.
As the girls open the door they are met with the sight of Rumi wrapped in her covers with tear streaks running down her cheeks.
Is all that is said before the girls move and join her on the bed.
“what do you need?” Mira gently asks
Then there’s quiet for a moment while the girls let Rumi think about what she wants to say. As she’s about to speak there’s another boom of thunder which makes her jump and cling onto the closest person (Zoey). Rumi is holding her so tightly that it’s almost hard for Zoey to breathe.
“Could you guys” she hesitates “just stay?” she finishes quietly.
Then they cuddle with rumi clutching onto Zoey and Mira holding both of them from behind. That’s the best sleep during a thunderstorm that Rumi has ever gotten. (Truthfully that’s the best sleep Rumi’s ever had).
During the next thunderstorm, it takes rumi a while to work up the courage to go to her girls for help. Once she does though, she’s met with nothing but warm comforting smiles and cuddles. It becomes a habit, during any thunderstorm either Rumi will go to Mira and Zoey or Mira and Zoey will find Rumi. Even during public events, although they don’t cuddle there but they do hold her hand or rub her back without people noticing.
Fast forward to the Idol Awards. After they defeat Gwima, they go back to their penthouse.
“We’ll talk in the morning, after we’ve slept.”
Rumi nods and they all go to their own rooms. 2 hours later a loud Boom wakes Rumi up. She starts to walk to her door out of habit but stops before she reaches it. She starts to think about how they probably need space and she can definitely deal with a thunderstorm by herself. Spoiler: She can not. So after a while she decides to text them so that she doesn’t disturb them if they’re asleep and they can choose to not show up if they’re don’t want to.
When Zoey wakes up she hears the rain pattering on her window. She groggily grabs her phone to look at the time, and as she does she sees a text from Rumi in the huntrix group chat that was sent an hour ago. It reads: “There’s a thunderstorm.” If that had come from anyone else, Zoey would’ve been confused as to why they’re stating the obvious. But Zoey knows what the underlying question is. Zoey knows that Rumi is asking for them to come comfort her. This makes Zoey stand up and walk to her door. She goes to Mira’s room first.
Mira groans “it’s too early”
This causes Mira to wake up. And once she hears the rain she figures out exactly why. She’s out of her bed in a heartbeat moving towards her door before she stops. She turns back around and grabbing one of her bigger hoodies. They then make their way over to Rumi’s room.
They gently knock on the door before opening it. They expected Rumi to be curled up crying but they didn’t expect it to be this bad. Her hair was a mess and her pillow had a huge wet spot from her tears. Her patterns were glowing a dark purple-ish red. And when she looked up at them, one of her eyes was glowing yellow.
Turns out sending that text only made things worse when they didn’t respond. Rumi hadn’t even thought about the girls being asleep, her first thought was that they didn’t want to comfort a demon. That they didn’t want to cuddle with a demon. That they were too mad at her, too disgusted by her to help her.
After taking in the scene before them, the girls didn’t hesitate to join Rumi in bed. Mira offers her sweatshirt to Rumi since it always helps her calm down. Rumi takes it right away and puts it on. They then cuddled up to her the same as they always do. Rumi stiffens before slowly relaxing into their embrace. After she calms down a little and her demon eye is gone she asks
“Why aren’t you scared of cuddling with me? I’m a Demon” The word demon was said with so much venom.
“we dont care about that baby.” Petnames always slipped out whenever Zoey was trying to comfort one of her girls.
There was a pause then, “Sweetie is that why you didn’t come to us sooner?”
“I thought you guys were mad.”
“We are…” Rumi stiffens back up, “But we care about you way more than we’re mad at you.”
“Yeah, and I could never imagine leaving you here alone when you’re so terrified. Even if I’m upset, I could never do that to you.”
So i didn’t expect this to be this long, I was thinking it would be like two short paragraphs max.
