“Come here, let me hold you.” Beloved
Dude you sent me so many Q3Q
More often than not, you knew that your partner didn't have the best time at calming down and or showing when he needed help calming down. He was good at the blank face.
It was troublesome sometimes when you knew that he needed help, but for some reason, he just wanted to act as if he was fine! It made you upset. why would he do that? You were his datemate, you were supposed to help him feel better.
So, lately, you've been having a hard time but you've been studying him. Trying to find little hints that he was either happy, upset, or bothered and a lot of the times, it came from his eyeshine.
Sometimes the pupil was sharp and a slit, that's when he was on edge or mad, sometimes scared. Sometimes it was big and round, you found that's when he was happiest and relaxed.
Today you noticed that he was pretty jumpy, his eyeshine going into a sharp shaking slit whenever there was a loud noise. It was raining and thundering, so of course he was gonna be nervous. It made you upset that he wouldn't come and just sit with you, instead pacing around the room or walking around the house.
You had no idea why he was doing that! He should sit down and try to relax. With a sigh you sit up and say to him, hoping he could hear you from the kitchen "Come here. Let me hold you"
It took a second but quickly you could hear footsteps, and Beloved pokes his head into the room looking over at you. You hold out your arms to him causing him to pause then he slowly walks over to climb into your arms. He nuzzles into your chest, clenching onto the back of your shirt with his hand.
"Are you okay?" you ask him.
He lets out a mrr sound, tightening his grip on you and he breathes out slowly. "I don't... like t-this" he didn't like the thunder and lightning, he liked the rain at least but it also made it hard to smell things out there other than the rain and someone could sneak in if they wanted to.
"I know you don't, but I'm here to keep you safe" You say, leaning down to kiss the top of his skull. He shuts his eyes at the kiss, letting out a soft happy purr.
You gently pull him closer, making sure to be careful with moving him cause he's sore a lot, even more when it rains. You were sure that he would fall asleep soon.
