Summary: 4-year old Charlie is scared.
Author's Notes: This idea has been floating around in my head for quite a while. Finally written it down. Enjoy!

Charlie is used to complete darkness when he sleeps. Well, except for the little night lamp which shoos away all the big, furry monsters. Don told him that, so it has to be true. Charlie thinks tonight however, nobody on earth is haunted by monsters.

The light is bright and everywhere, but only for a split-second. Then it is gone to be replaced by an unbelievably loud noise. Charlie covers his ears with his hands and whimpers silently.

“Mommy...”, he says over and over again, tears covering his cheeks. He is scared, so very scared, where is everyone? Wasn’t this all scaring them, too? Wasn’t Don afraid at all?

The door opens with a creaking sound but Charlie is to perturbed to hear. He has put the blanket over his head, thinking that it will give him at least some protection. It is shoved aside now and it is only now that Charlie looks into the comfortingly smiling face of his brother.

Don crawls into the bed next to Charlie, he embraces his little brother and covers them both with the blanket. He feels Charlie flinch and jerk several times before it stops and he can hear the regular and smooth breathing of the little boy next to him.

Summary: Years later. Don knows Charlie is scared.
Author's Notes: Follows “Flinch”.

It’s a low rumble at first, then it turns into a rustle as the rain starts to hammer down mixed with the loud cracking and thundering of the approaching storm. Don is wide awake, not able to sleep with too many thoughts keeping him occupied. Charlie is lying curled up, blanket half covering him, right next to him, apparently fast asleep.

Envying his younger brother for being able to sleep with all this noise Don exhales frustrated. The air hits Charlie’s shoulder and neck, he jerks slightly and presses his body more into Don’s. Charlie’s spine touches Don’s chest and so Don lays an arm around the younger man’s waist. He loves this nearness, this intimacy which makes him forget the raging storm for a moment. He buries his face in Charlie’s hair, a bit sweaty from the heat. It’s a warm summer night.

A sudden whimper causes Don to open his eyes again.

“Charlie? Are you okay?”

Charlie stays silent while his hand seizes Don’s arm and slings it more tightly around his own body. Don smiles gently, understanding the situation. He embraces Charlie lovingly and protectively as he feels himself drifting off to an undisturbed sleep.
