“Suzuya!” Hanbee leaps into his Squad Leader’s room.
“Hanbee?” Suzuya rubs sleep out of his eyes. “It’s 3 am.”
His room lights up in a flash, and then thunder crashes down upon them.
“You’re scared of thunder?” Suzuya is surprised. He’s always loved thunder.
Hanbee nods.
“Come here.” Suzuya opens his arms, and Hanbee, the giant dork that he is, leaps into them. He shivers.
“It’s okay, I promise,” says Suzuya, tightening his grip.
Hanbee nods. “I just…feel so alone and vulnerable when thunder happens.
“Well, you’re not now.” Suzuya snuggles closer to Hanbee. “Here, I’ll wrap my blankets around you too. The Thunder can’t get you.”
“Thanks.” Thunder crashes again, and Hanbee flinches.
Suzuya smiles down at him. “I’ll stay awake with you, don’t worry!”
