Wilbur was curled up in his chair, hyperventilating and crying. He'd barely managed to finish his letter to Dream and set it aside. He made sure it wasn't visible to anyone should they have come into his office.
He'd only managed to continue Schlatt's organization process for a few minutes before he cracked under the pressure and started having a panic attack.
He could hear Tommy trying to calm him down from the other side of the door, using different calming techniques from their childhood. He'd tried their 'Count to Ten' method and some basic breathing exercises.
After Tommy had tried to count to ten for a second time, Wilbur managed to croak out a "Go home Toms-" before he couldn't breathe again. He could hear Tommy getting up, but if Tommy had said anything Wilbur hadn't heard it.
Moments later Wilbur heard a much quieter knock. He moved closer to the door so he could hear who it was.
"Loverboy?" Schlatt's voice was gentle from the other side of the door. Wilbur shifted quickly, whining to himself because of his feelings. "Loverboy could you unlock the door?"
Wilbur slowly and shakily reached up from where he was to flick the lock on the door, unlocking it. He quickly returned to his corner.
Schlatt pushed open the door slowly, shutting it and relocking it behind him. "If you want it unlocked let me know." Schlatt got a small sniffle in response.
Schlatt turned to the corner where Wilbur was located and walked over, sitting down in front of him.
"C'mere loverboy." Schlatt opened his arms for the taller male.
Wilbur looked at Schlatt for a moment before leaning forward into the embrace.
"It's alright, I've got you." Schlatt moved one hand to Wilbur's waist and the other to play with his hair. "Deep breaths Wil, you're safe."
Wilbur cried into Schlatt's shoulder, attempting to take deep breaths as he did so.
Schlatt sat there holding him for a while till his breathing was normal, repeating comforting phrases as he did so.
Once Wilbur was calm, Schlatt pressed a kiss to the top of his head. "You wanna talk about it loverboy?"
