Marvel Imagines and One-shotes

Bucky ~ Panic Attacks

He sees you sitting against a wall and breathing heavy. He rushes over to you and kneels in front of you. He speaks very gently and softly.

"Heeey sugar, it's all okay, just look at me, okay?"

"I-I can't Buck. I'll be okay, I just need a minute. It just, it just n-needs to run its c-course then i'll be fine."

"No, baby. You need to slow your breathing, you're gonna hurt yourself."

You're hyperventilating and you can feel yourself getting dizzy as your chest starts to ache.

"Can I touch you sweetheart?"

You nod a little as you fight to get air.

He adjusts so he's sitting next to you against the wall and puts his arm around your shoulders. He takes one of your hands in his and places it over his heart.

"Just try to follow my breathing, okay? I know it's hard, just try to focus on the rise and fall of my chest."

He starts taking exaggerated deep breaths and whispering encouragement.

After a moment, you're able to follow his breathing and it slowly calms you down. As your lungs stop aching so much, you feel the pain in your head.

He sees your eyes tense shut and he starts rubbing your arm and gently pulling you closer.

"Put your head on my chest, catch your breath."

You let yourself lean over and he starts softly running his fingers along your hairline.

"Close your eyes, get some rest."

"But you have that thing with Sam, and-"

"Shhh none of that, just rest. Steve can deal with it. I've got time."

You feel your eyes glass over again, but for a very different reason as you relax more and feel safe.
