She was whimpering. Crying, actually. Quietly, but trails of tears ran down her face before collecting under her chin and dripping into the pink, girlish nighty and the floral comforter she clutched to her chest. Honestly, by the time a girl was fifteen, you would think she wouldn't be scared of storms anymore. But the wrapping branches against her bedroom window reminded her of all those ghost stories that ended in children being dragged from their beds and eaten alive; who wouldn't have found it terrifying?
Minatsuki squealed as a clap of thunder sounded and lightening flashed outside, illuminating her childish bedroom filled with dolls, pink things, and cute clothing. Her whole frame shook as she threw the blanket aside and flew to her bedroom door and wrenched it open.
The hallway was dark, but the sound of rain and wind was still very clear and the young teen spared no time pattering down the hallway to another bedroom door. There was only one other person in the house, which might have been another reason that this particular storm was so scary; no one else was awake as far as she could tell, no one walking around downstairs and no snoring. Those sounds would have comforted her greatly; it would have meant that her companion hadn't died or left her here to die. But all was quiet save for natures crescendo and decrescendo of music.
Her hands were hot, slightly damp, and gripped the cool doorknob gently before she turn the metal handle and pushed open the door. It creaked loudly; loudly enough to make the occupant of the bed inside - illuminated by the streetlamp outside their bedroom window - stir gently. The teen froze in the doorframe for a minute before she spoke, and when Minatsuki finally choked out a question, her voice sounded congested; as if she had a bad headcold.
"C - can I sleep i - in here? With you?"
[ooc: OKAY. this event was practically made for this kiddo, I say, so who am I to ignore it's potential?]
[the idea is that Mina is fifteen, and home alone save for your muse. be them:]
[a. a brother
b. a sister
c. a father
d. an uncle
e. a cousin]
[Minatsuki will be the younger of the two, and is "playing nice." for those who have threaded with her before are loved, as are new rp partners - and both can expect that after a while (if need be) Minatsuki will become evil, mean, conniving and a bitch once again; she's just going to stick to the sweetie act for a bit.]
[men and women welcome. prefs on the journal as coding hates me, and expect reasonably slow responses until this weekend.]
