"Y/n breathe. You're okay I promise." Xiao spoke softly, a little unsure of what to do as usual.
He wasn't the best at comforting others but he tried his best to comfort the sobbing girl after she broke down into tears once she reached his house.
"It's okay... nothings going to hurt you. I'm right here."
Y/n choked on her sobs and hiccupped as she struggled to breathe properly. Her body felt as if it wasn't her own anymore as she cried out.
Xiao cupped her hands in his and looked her in the eyes with a sympathetic expression.
"They aren't here anymore N/n. Just breathe... in and out." Xiao tried to imitate a steady breathing flow in order to help his friend.
"Y/n. I need you to relax. It's okay... you're fine I promise you." Xiao held the side of her face gently as Y/n's breath grew steady again.
Afterward
︵‿︵‿٠◦٠♡٠◦٠‿︵‿︵
Y/n laid quietly in exhaustion, small tears continued seeping from her eyes as she rested her head in Xiao's lap.
Xiao silently brushed through her hair comfortingly, trying to bring a sense of peace to her.
"Thank you Xiao..." Y/n mumbled in sleepiness.
Xiao hummed and continued combing her hair with a content yet emotionless face.
It was silent for a few seconds longer before Xiao sighed and wiped Y/n's watery eyes.
"You know Y/n... you're gonna need to get help soon..."
Y/n's breath hitched at the thought, nearly alarming Xiao again until she responded.
"B-but..." She sat up with an unsure frown.
"Please, Y/n. I didn't want to either but... it helps..." The man sighed before grabbing his phone and typing something in. "I have a friend-"
"No! I don't want to go-!" Y/n tried to protest and felt tears well up in her eyes again.
"Y/n!" Xiao's voice faltered as he cut her off. "Please...You can't keep having these anxiety attacks!" He was just as hurt as her and wanted to cry himself after seeing his best friend in so much suffering.
"But-"
"Just let me help you..." It was obvious how pained Xiao was as he pleaded. "Let him help you..." He held his phone out for her to grab.
On the screen was the contact to his psychology office and Y/n looked down at the call button.
"I can't force you to... but just try it..." Xiao looked down, hiding his sad expression under his hair.
Y/n thought for a few seconds before hesitantly taking the phone from his hand and walking out of the room to make the call.
She clicked the dial button and let the phone ring a few times before someone answered.
"Hello. You've reached the Genshin Psychology office, are you a current patient?" A soothing and kind voice answered.
Y/n's lip quivered as she tried to speak.
"N-no... I'm not..."
"Alright, would you like to set an appointment?" The man continued and waited patiently for her responses.
"Yes please..."
"Great. Do you mind if I ask you a couple questions regarding your appointment?"
"Go ahead." Y/n regained her strength of voice and listened and answered his questions, officially setting a therapy session.
Y/n POV: the next day
︵‿︵‿٠◦٠♡٠◦٠‿︵‿︵
I sat impatiently in the hallway, constantly bouncing my leg in anxiety as I waited for the current patient to exit the room.
Eventually, a boy with purple hair walked out with an expression of annoyance and thoughtfulness.
I stood up and walked into the doorway but fell back once I collided with someone's chest.
"Agh..." I groaned and looked up.
"Oh! I'm terribly sorry!" A young man, no older than myself, with red eyes and mostly platinum blonde hair smiled embarrassingly at me.
"My deepest apologies. Are you alright?" He outstretched a hand to help me up which I accepted.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I patted down my clothes and smiled politely, trying to mask my irritation. "Are you?"
He nodded with a calm and relaxed expression before speaking again. "You must be Mrs. L/n?" My eyes widened as he said that.
I quickly shook my head no. "N-not Mrs, just Ms- actually just Y/n is fine!" I stuttered, embarrassed to think of ever being a Mrs.
"Ah. I see. My apologizes then. I'm Dr. Kaedehara or merely Kazuha if you'd prefer to drop the formalities. I believe you spoke with my assistant yesterday on the phone?" He smiled kindly.
"I think so..."
"Great. Follow me inside and we can get started." Kazuha opened the door and invited me in, locking the door behind him.
