It was dark-
The sun had set, night had risen, and it was cold, loud, and, if one was to give it an emotion, angry.
Tangle couldn't sleep, and had curled up into a ball on her sofa, letting random movies play on her TV as she tried to rest.
She was whimpering, just slightly, irritated and too tired to deal with the booming thunder outside.
But then, she heard a knock on her apartment door.
Then a thud.
As if heavy boots collided against the floor.
But there wasn't a word uttered-
Tangle knew it could only be one person.
She groggily climbed off the sofa, holding her arms close together as she was shivering slightly.
Opening the door, Tangle's exhausted, sad expression immediately shifted to concerned.
"Hi..." Whisper muttered as she stood outside Tangle's doorway, covered in mud and rainwater.
"My god- Whisper, are you okay?" Tangle said as she brought Whisper into the apartment, walking her over to the sofa.
"Here- I'll grab some blankets. I've got my tail for warmth, but- your cloak doesn't seem to be helping you." She said in a slightly worried voice, rubbing her eyes before grabbing a pile of blankets that sat next to her sofa.
"I'm fine, Tangle." Whisper said, moving her hand towards Tangle to help her, before her wisps swarmed over, helping Tangle gather the blankets.
"NOPE! Not hearing that, Whisp! You're clearly cold.- I mean, your fur is soaking wet!" Tangle spoke up confidently, trying to help Whisper.
The wisps passed Tangle the blankets as she carried them in her arms, before falling onto the sofa, throwing them over Whisper and herself.
Whisper began to smile as Tangle sat next to her, the wisps then snuggling up between the two.
"So, movie night, huh?" Whisper spoke quietly as she stared at the TV, which was paused on a random movie.
Tangle winced as a thunderous crash was heard outside- The weather was terrible.
"Yeah, I guess." Tangle said, trying to fake a chuckle,
"I mean."
"Not really. I- I can't sleep. It's freezing, it's loud- I'm just...not really used to this." She continued, her sadness becoming more and more visible in her voice.
This was enough to make Whisper concerned-
Whisper immediately turned her head towards Tangle, slowly placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Hey." She muttered in a soft, concerned, caring voice.
"It's...gonna be alright."
"I'm sure it's a lot less scary when you're with someone else, right?"
Tangle was silent for a moment.
She sighed in relief, and laid back fully into the sofa, relaxed.
"I..." She went to speak, but she was choked up.
"Yeah..yeah it's alot...less scary.." Tangle said in a worried, sad voice.
She shed a tear,
And then started crying, whimpering as she fell into Whisper's arms, Whisper hugging her.
"You're fine. I'm fine. It's gonna be okay." Whisper muttered as she hugged Tangle, the wisps sitting next to them.
"I...I love you, Whisper..." Tangle spoke as she cried into Whisper's arms,
"I love you too."
Tangle finally managed to go to sleep, that night-
Laying in her girlfriend's arms, the two of them sound asleep on Tangle's sofa.
