Victor had various amounts of streaming services, he ate his food in content. He ate quietly before setting his plate down on the decorative table and shut his eyes.

He eventually picked a movie. Just a fun, easy comedy, and then set the remote down and ate his food.

Victor found himself feeling drowsy and he hummed as he slowly began to doze off. His chest rose and fell at even intervals, resting his head on his hand as he dozed.

He finished his food, setting his plate aside and watching the movie.

Victor dozed peacefully, as the storm outside picked up. There was a bright flash of lightning and then a sudden earth shattering rumble. He startled a little in his sleep but didn't wake up.

Jared flinched at the loud thunder crack, biting his lip.

At the next thunder crack, Victor woke up, glancing around the house before yawning and stretching slowly. "Jared?" He murmured softly. "You okay?"

He shook his head faintly, still curled into himself.

Victor move to his side and knelt in front of him. "Jared, look at me." He murmured gently.

He peeked over at him. "Sorry." He said quietly.

He shook his head and smiled gently. "No, no. It's okay. Just keep your eyes on me, okay?" He murmured gently.

He nodded faintly, keeping his gaze on Victor but unable to stop himself from flinching each time the thunder rolled.

Victor gently took Jared's hands to ground him, having him maintain eye contact for a bit as he asked the occasional question to help Jared keep focused on reality and not get stuck in the past.

Jared answered the questions as best he could, trying to keep his breathing steady.

Victor continued to ask him gentle questions or to gently squeeze his hands. Eventually joining him back on the couch and keeping him close, allowing Jared to curl up with him if he wanted to.

Jared leaned against him, taking deep breaths and doing his best to ground himself.

Victor kept his arms around the other and tried to keep Jared grounded and keep him close.

Jared kept just breathing and leaning into Victor.

The storm settled down a bit after a while, there was still lightning and thunder, but it was more in the distance. The rain had lightened up a little bit, but Victor still gently held onto Jared.

Once it started to fade, he calmed down a bit, but didn't move away from Victor.

Victor let him stay in his lap, running his hand through Jared's hair as he listened to the storm slowly fade away to nothing but rain. Even then he didn't move away.

Jared calmed down, relaxing as the thunder turned into only a rainstorm, but he still didn't quite pull away, leaning into Victor's hand.

Victor played with his hair and was just extremely gentle with the smaller male. He knew that Jared was probably having a rough time so he didn't move, just simply played with his hair.

He closed his eyes, letting out a slow, quiet breath.

"How are you feeling?" He murmured gently, continuing to run his hand through Jared's hair.
