Shawn Mendes Imagines

Thunderstorm: For Shannon

This was requested by @Shannon1300 Hope you like it!

*Shannon's POV*

"Shannon," I felt myself being shaken awake and I opened my eyes to see Shawn sitting up next to me.

"Shawn, go to sleep," I whined, rolling my head over on the pillow.

"But there's a thunderstorm. How can you sleep?" he got closer to me.

"Because I'm tired and it's past midnight."

A loud crack of thunder boomed through the house after a flash of lightning and Shawn yelped. I turned over to see him fearfully clutching Leo, his lion stuffed animal, to his chest and pressing his back against the headboard. His eyes darted from the window to the ceiling repeatedly.

I sat up, "Shawn, baby, are you scared?"

It took him a second, but he eventually nodded, "I know it's a stupid thing to be afraid of, but it hasn't gone away since I was a little kid." Shawn's eyes went wide as another crack of thunder sounded, louder this time.

"Hey, it's okay, come here," I put my arm around him and helped him lie back down.

The thunder continued to come along with the rain pattering against the house and Shawn cried out, pulling the covers up over his face. Tears glistened on his cheeks.

"Aww, Shawny, don't cry," I cooed, "Everything's okay. I'm right here don't worry."

"I just want it to stop," he cried.

I brought him closer to me, our foreheads almost touching. "I know something that might make you feel better," I comforted, "You can count the seconds in between the lightning and thunder. If there's more time in between, the storm is getting further away."

"Okay," Shawn stated before getting really quiet as he listened.

It took a couple of seconds for the lightning to flash through the window again.

1,2,3,4 The thunder boomed.

The next time it was longer and it kept adding more and more seconds. Each time the thunder came, Shawn squeezed my hand tighter and I always tried to calm him down with kisses on his face.

Eventually, the storm finally seemed to be over with no more thunder or lightning.

Shawn shakily sighed in relief, breathing into my neck and my leg had moved on top of his. I played with his hair, my fingers tangling with the soft, brown curls.

"Goodnight, Shawn. Sleep well, baby."

I started to fall asleep with him and I heard him lightly whisper, "Thank you, Shannon."
