Could you hold me?

[A4A] Could you hold me? [Reverse Comfort] [Thunderstorm] [Cuddles] [Breathing]

Long pauses between lines.

[start]

(rain sfx in background)

[a couple seconds of breathing]

(thunder strikes)

[a scared whimper and say next lines in a scared voice]

Hey…

Baby?

Baby?

Hi….

I’m sorry for waking you up but uh…

But uh….

I know it wasn’t when you fell asleep but it’s thundering outside.

And I wasn’t able to fall asleep after you did…

I’m sorry…

I know you needed your rest tonight

But… but… could hold me?

Umm…

I’ll admit… it’s just a little scary…

The thunder

I know it’s stupid…

I’m like a child.

It’s just… it’s just really loud and sudden.

You know I don't like that type of stuff.

But I don’t wanna be scared of that anymore.

At least thunder

Haunted mansions, scary movies, and needles I'm fine with being scared of.

But I can’t do thunder...

I still need your help…

Could you hold me a little tighter?

Thank you…

You make me feel safe in your arms…

I love you so much...

I don’t know what I would do if you weren’t here.

I don’t know how I survived nights like this without you before we met.

I know you say that I’m strong but I don’t really feel like I am.

But I’m glad I'm with you now.

You’re always there when I feel vulnerable.

Even when it’s something stupid like thunder.

I don’t know how to repay you…

[pause]

Could you also press my head gently into your chest?

My neck is getting a little sore nuzzling against you.

[pause]

(a little groan, not sexually)

Could you also scratch my head?

I’m sorry I'm being so needy…

And for holding you really tightly...

Thank you…

I really do believe that your arms are the safest place in the world

With your arms wrapped around me makes me feel like the most loved person on earth.

I don’t deserve you…

But I’m really happy you’re here for me.

[long pause]

Your Pajamas are really soft…

I’m also wearing the ones you bought…

You have good taste in pj’s

And actually in fashion in general.

You always look good, and I don’t know how you do it.

[long pause]

I always know you’re here for me.

No, no, don’t worry I'm not gonna cry.

I think you’ve already solved that problem.

Do you think the thunder will stop any time soon?

Well, I guess sleeping would be the best way through the storm.

And it’s a lot easier when you’re holding me like this.

I’m not shaking as bad anymore.

Mhmmm.

Ok, I'll really try to go to bed this time ok?

But still no promises…

You know how I am…

(plants face into pillow like a chest)

Good night again baby, I'm so lucky that I'm with you…(muffled.)

I promise not to wake you up again until morning.
