Ben x Jeff one shots (Creepypasta)

Anxiety Attack (Fluff)

TW: anxiety attacks.
(Jeff's POV)

As loud thunder rumbles the ground I look around. For Ben. He's always hated storms, the reason? I don't know and neither does he. It's just always scared him. A lot. To the point where he has panic attacks. He typically goes to a specific spot when he's having an anxiety attack. Our pillow tent. A little tent we have in Jenna's room even though she's quite older now. I quickly walk there and sure enough he's in the tent clutching a fluffy heart shaped pillow. He hasn't noticed I'm here so I gently place my hand in his and caress my thumb against his hand. He realizes that I'm here but is still shaking and hyperventilating. Then a sudden BOOM CRACK is heard and all the lights go out. His grip on my hand gets tighter. I grab a spare flashlight we have since my phone was about to die. I place it down and pick Ben up. I place him onto my lap.

Jeff: Hey love. It's okay. I'm right here. Don't pay attention to the noises around us. Match your breathing to mine. Okay?
Ben: I...c-can't. I can't do it. I'm scared. Jeff.
Jeff: Hey you can do this. I will hold you until you feel okay again and even after I will hold you if you'd like. I'm right here for you and I'm not going anywhere.
Ben: Thank y-you Jeff.
Jeff: No problem love. Just focus on your breathing. Okay? In.....out.....in....out.

I help Ben to breathe with me and he does well but occasionally has to restart because he gets startled from the thunder. He's still shaking really badly. I grab a blanket and wrap it around him. Obviously he's not shaking because of the cold but it helps comfort him. He's really trying to control his anxiety but it's not going great because the storm is only getting worse. I decide I have to make a really stupid decision to help him further.

Jeff: Love?
Ben: H-Hm...?
Jeff: I need to go get your headphones from our room. Is that okay?
Ben: Mhm..
Jeff: I promise I'll be back as soon as possible.

I slowly remove Ben from my lap and set him on the ground with the blanket wrapped around him. He still has tears streaming down his face. I quickly run to mine and Ben's room and look for his headphones. A few minutes pass and I find them by his gaming set up. The thunder rumbles so harshly that anyone could feel the ground shake. I quickly try to run back to Ben but trip in the process. I hear my wrist pop but I ignore it and get back up. Once I get back to Ben he's sobbing and rocking himself back and forth. I turn on his headphones and play some of his favorite songs. He relaxes a little bit but still very anxious. I grab his head and lay it on my shoulder. I tell him to breathe with me and he tries his very best. Slowly but surely he starts coming down from his anxiety attack. I continue to hold his hand and him in general. Each time the thunder booms across the sky I comfort him and make it feel better. I watch as a tear rolls down his cheek. I wipe it away and make him look at me.

Jeff: What's wrong my love?
Ben: Why can't I be like you Jeff? I'm so pathetic. You're so strong and cool. I'm just a crybaby.
Jeff: Baby I love you for who you are. It's okay to cry. Even if I don't cry a lot I still cry. You are nowhere near pathetic. You're amazing. Truly.
Ben: I don't deserve you. I love you.
Jeff: I love you too baby.

The thunder slowing starts to quiet down and Ben starts to calm down. I play with his soft hair and kiss him softly on his head. He slowly falls asleep and I pick him up. I take him to our room and put him in our bed so we can sleep together. I put my arm around him and drift off to sleep.

Sorry this was rushed. I'm also not good at writing anxiety attacks. Sorry it was short. Stay tuned for the next one shot that will be out soon.
