BTS Reaction;; Fear of Thunder
I changed it a tad to where their s/o is afraid of thunder and can’t seem to fall asleep. Hope that’s okay ^^ (My Tumblr is deciding to give me technical difficulties and lag, sorry that this is late.)
It was Korea’s monsoon season, and tonight there was an especially bad thunderstorm. You have a really bad fear of thunder and can’t seem to fall asleep even though it’s the wee hours of the night. This is how your BTS S/O deals with it.
He knows you’re afraid of thunder and loud noises, so as soon as the storm starts, all he can think of is coming home to you and helping you calm down. He wants to make sure that you feel as secure as possible. Lots of reassuring kisses and sheltering cuddles. It’s almost as if you’re a scared child being comforted within his embrace in bed. You can be sure he’ll be making a ton of cheesy jokes to lift the mood.
“What do you call a wet bear?”
“A drizzly bear! *windshield wiper noises*”
“*Trying not to laugh* Oppa, I’m trying to sleep!”
He’s not very vocal or straightforward with his feelings, but you know he cares about making you feel safe. You’d be watching a movie when the rain started, however, when the thunder starts and you wither, he would turn the movie off with some lame excuse to go to bed. He’ll indirectly distract you from the noise. He even brings you things he knows you like such as hot cocoa, fuzzy blankets, etc.
“(Y/N), have you heard this song?”
“*Places headphones over your ears to block out the thunder*”
He’s not as scared as you are, but he’s pretty dang close. This boy will be clinging to you with the excuse that he’s trying to make you feel safe, when really, he just needs to hold on to you or else he’ll be jumpy. You’d both face each other in bed, falling asleep by hugging the other, comfortably resting the side of your head on his chest. While brushing his thumb across your cheek, he’ll subtly use his hand to cover your ear, muffling the thunder.
“Stop shaking, it’s gonna be okay, (Y/N)...”
“But you’re shaking just as much as me!”
The leader of Bangtan doesn’t know how to be a leader in this situation. He’ll probably overdo it, if anything. Googling how to calm you down and help you sleep, since he uses logic to solve problems. Making you green tea, compiling a white noise playlist (with the exception of rain sounds), offering reassuring words. Only when the storm passes will he be able to stop worrying about you. He ends up keeping you awake rather than helping you sleep, but you appreciate the effort.
“Did you see that lightning flash? Now, let’s count how many seconds until the next thunderclap and that’s how far away the storm is.”
“Joonie… One, I’m not a kindergartener. Two, I’m trying to forget about the thunder.”
Mochi to the rescue. He huddles under the bed sheets with you, essential oils diffuser going, all the lights off, blinds closed, and curtains drawn. He finds some way to prop the sheets up so you two don’t suffocate, and opens Netflix on his laptop. You get to choose the show and snacks. He keeps an arm around your shoulders/back the entire time, constantly rubbing them. Soft giggles and cute hair ruffles.
“Oh… the storm stopped. I didn’t even notice.”
“Uh… I think we should probably be more concerned about the time, Jiminie.”
This kid probably loves thunderstorms. Loud noises and huge puddles? Yes. This will be an all-nighter for sure. It’s not like you’re falling asleep anytime soon anyways. However, for you he’ll try to calm down and make it fun for you. The board games come out, lights turn off, and flashlights turn on. You’d be too busy laughing to focus on the loud storm raging outside.
“AHH *Jumps out and scares you*”
“AH! TAe, you’re giving me more anxiety than I already have!”
Do I have to say anything more than video games? You two are hecka competitive and as soon as he sees you freaking out, he pulls out a new video game to take your mind off things. Let’s say that the fear adrenaline pumping through your veins makes you a little OP. His frustration at your new winning streak makes it hard not to laugh.
“Jungkook… the rain stopped an hour ago.”
“I don’t care! We’re not stopping until I beat you at least once!”
