Archie Madekwe Imagines/Smut

Panic attack

You had been dealing with anxiety for some time now. Sometimes your anxiety got so bad that you had to lock yourself away and just be alone. One night after a movie date with Archie you were feeling anxious.

At the time you were overthinking being with a celebrity. Archie was famous and idolized and you were just... there. People didn't even know your name, they just knew you as Archie's girlfriend.

You sat at the floor of your bedroom hugging your knees. You began to cry and your heart began to race. You were having a panic attack and at that moment you didn't quite know why.

Archie was taking off his jacket and getting comfortable. He heard you crying and your attempts to quietly sniffle.

"Y/N..?" He said, you could hear his footsteps get closer to the door.

Archie opened the door slightly seeing you hyperventilating on the floor. He quickly dropped to the floor and pulled you in to hold you.

"Its okay baby I'm here"
He said rubbing your back and holding the back of your head close to you.
"I'm here..." he repeated.

You have had panic attacks in front of Archie before and he was a pro at handling them. Its like he knew exactly what to do and say.
"Breath my love"
He said take a deep breath so you can copy him.

You followed him, sharply inhaling and exhaling. You stared into his brown eyes, it always calmed you during these times.

"Thank you..."
You mumbled wiping your damp eyes.

"Stop thanking me Y/N i'm just doing what a good boyfriend should do '' he said before kissing your cheek.

You still felt panicky and he could sense that.
"Come" he got up and held his hand out for you to get up with him.

He held your hand and walked you to the bathroom. He knew what calmed you down the most.

Archie set the bath for you and put in some of your favorite bubble bath soap. He always kept your favorite things in his apartment for when you came over.

You undressed and he helped you untie your shoes. It was just silence and the sound of running water.

Watching Archie treat you so well healed a part of you. You settled into the bath and he sat right beside you. You didn't feel uncomfortable with Archie's presence, instead it calmed you.

The entire time you watched him, every subtle expression and moment of his face. How he concentrated when he pumped soap onto your pink loofah.

Archie wiped the running mascara on your cheeks with his thumb.

"You know that when your with me you don't have to worry about a thing babe..."

You nodded and rested your head on your propped knees.
Archie gently moved the loofah against your back, the warmth of the water gave you a chill.

"I love you so much" he said leaner closer to you. You smiled and a tear rolled down your cheek.

Archie kissed your cheek, the same one your tear had fallen on.

"And I'm always going to be here for you no matter what"

That moment was so perfect that you didn't want your worries to ruin it.

"My beautiful girl"
Archie whispered before kissing your forehead. Hearing him talk and the echo of the bathroom was just the most amazing experience.

Archie helped you get out of the bath and dressed. He knew you were low on energy so he helped you, slipping on your nightgown over your head.

He treated you with such kindness that you felt like it was too good to be true.

"Cmon let's go to bed so I can cuddle with you" Archie said and smiled wide when he saw your reaction.

You smiled and just hugged him.

"I'm so grateful for you..."
you said. It was the first time you spoke since having the panic attack.
