023 I see the sparks fly

TW: mentions of severe anxiety and an anxiety attack

~~~

After driving and partying for about 15 minutes you arrived at your final destination where the premiere was. Looking out of the tinted window, camera flashes already blinded you and your anxiety started to rise like crazy.

Sebastian, still being wasted, opened the door first and stepped out like he owned Marvel himself. After him, Chris H. and his wife Elsa both got out and made their way onto the red carpet.

Now it was your turn but you couldn't move a muscle. Your entire body stiffened and your breath hitched every now and then which kept you from properly breathing and giving your body much needed oxygen.

Chris gave you a concerned look which you didn't even notice since you were so distracted by everything that was going on outside. Your brain came back to reality as you felt a warm hand on your upper arm, squeezing it reassuringly. Looking to your left you saw Chris smiling at you which you didn't return even though you wanted to but your body was just not doing what you wanted it to do.

"Hey, you're alright, it seems much worse as it actually is, trust me," Chris' hand softly slid down your arm and stopped at your hand that was resting on your thigh. He took both of your hands into his' before turning his body even more to you which gave you a relaxing feeling as you realized how much he cared.

"Look at me, Y/n," you heard him from your left while your eyes were still glued on the paparazzi on the outside of the car.

Feeling another squeeze on your hands you shifted your gaze from the window to the man next to you who just gave you a slightly worried look, trying his best not to concern you even more when you see that he is troubled.

"A really smart and cute woman told me once that she has a method to calm herself down, shall we try?" he caressed the backside of your hand with his thumb as you just gave him a nod.

"Alright, look around and tell me five things you can see."

You frantically looked around yourself, trying to find something that he'd want to hear as you panicked even more.

"Hey hey Y/n, nothing is rushing you, just take your time," he reassured.

Taking a deep breath you looked around the car again,
"Glasses, alcohol bottles, LEDs, you and, why did Sebastian leave a pair of underwear on his seat?"

"Goddamn, I hope that was just a spare pair of underwear," Chris sighed out, chuckling a bit.

"Y/n, concentrate on your surroundings, four things you can feel?"

After you went through the entire process of calming yourself down you were finally breathing normally again and as calm as possible for a premiere.

"Using my own ways for me, huh?" you giggled which made Chris' face shift into a beaming smile as it was the first time you sounded relaxed in the past 20 minutes.

"It helped though, that's all that matters to me," he played with your hair a bit before booping (Ik that's not a word but you get what I mean) your nose making you giggle a bit.

"You all good to go now?" he asked.

"Yes sir," you looked into his eyes, proudly that you've gone through this anxiety attack with his help.

"I won't be leaving your side though, missy," he pointed his finger at you before he saw you just nodding in agreement, not even having a single comment about it leaving your mouth.
