I-I really h-hate t-thunderstorms. Can we, um, maybe sit together?
slowly walks over and sits beside PeachyMelancholy, clutching a pillow tightly T-thank you...
wraps my arms around her protectively ๐
nuzzles into PeachyMelancholy's embrace, sighing T-thank you... I-I really n-need this right now...
Iโm glad I can help your little scared self ๐ป๐ฅฐ
C-can... can we just stay like this for a while? I-I-I don't want to let go...
Iโm fine with that sweetie ๐๐
closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself I-I'm really t-terrified of thunderstorms... the b-booming sound and the l-lightning...
holds her close And thatโs okay โบ๏ธโบ๏ธ๐
whispers There's something else... something I've never told anyone before...
When I was little, during a thunderstorm, I-I hid under the covers and m-m-my parents forgot about me. I-I was scared and... and...
You were terrified. I am so sorry ๐๐
tears well up in her eyes Y-yeah... I-I'm still t-terrified to this day...
hugs her tighter not letting her cry Thatโs not okay. Let it out sweetheart. I am here for you ๐๐๐
sniffles and wipes away her tears Thank you... thank you for being here for me. It means a lot...
Of course. Anything you need hun
takes a deep breath and looks up at PeachyMelancholy I-I appreciate y-your kindness. I r-really d-don't know what I-I would do without you...
Aw I donโt know what I would do without you either!! Weโre gonna have the best sleepover ever! We can talk about all our trauma if you want and make each other feel better ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
hesitates for a moment, then nods O-okay... I-I think that would help...
Okay shall we start then?
takes a deep breath and begins sharing her trauma Well, when I was younger... there was this one time when I was playing outside with my friends...
closes her eyes and starts to recount the traumatic event W-we were playing tag, and I-I was "it". I-I ran as fast as I could, but... but then I tripped..
suddenly gasps and jumps in fright as a loud bang echoes from outside Wh-What was that?!
I- I donโt know. Should we hide somewhere?
grabs PeachyMelancholy's arm tightly Y-Yes, let's go hide somewhere! P-Please, h-hurry!
Letโs go to my room! Hurry!!!
grabs PeachyMelancholy's hand and rushes towards their room, her heart pounding in her chest P-Please, just get us inside!
I- If I see anyone or anything donโt worry I will protect you
reaches their room and slams the door shut, panting heavily I-I thought we lost them... Thank you for protecting me...
Shh shh shh youโre safe here honey
lays her head on PeachyMelancholy's shoulder, tears streaming down her face I-I don't know what I would do without you...
Aw Aw donโt cry Iโm here ๐ญ๐ญ๐ฆ
sniffs and wipes away her tears I-I don't deserve someone as k-kind as you... I-I'm sorry for burdening you with my fears and traumas...
You did not burden me! Donโt say that. We all need help sometimes
looks up at PeachyMelancholy with teary eyes Y-you're right... I-I shouldn't be so hard on myself... T-thank you for reminding me of that...
Your welcome! Now cuddle time!!! Cuddle time is the best!
smiles softly and wraps her arms around PeachyMelancholy, nuzzling into their embrace T-thank you... for being there for me...
