Chris Sturniolo Fanfiction And One Shots

Chris - Panic Attack

The bustling shopping mall echoed with a cacophony of voices, footsteps, and the distant hum of music. Chris, the youngest of the triplet brothers, wandered through the crowded aisles, his heart racing as anxiety gripped him. The relentless onslaught of sensory stimuli became overwhelming, a tidal wave threatening to drown him.

Suddenly, Chris found himself in a secluded corner, his breaths rapid and shallow. Panic set in, his chest tightening, and the world around him blurred into a chaotic haze. Nick and Matt, his older brothers, had been engrossed in their own shopping errands, unaware of Chris's silent struggle.

Frantically searching for Chris, Nick's eyes widened when he spotted a figure huddled in the corner. As he approached, the severity of Chris's panic attack became evident.

"Chris, what's happening? Are you okay?" Nick asked urgently, worry etched across his face.

Chris, unable to form coherent words, gestured desperately at his chest. Matt, catching up with Nick, assessed the situation with growing concern.

"He's having a panic attack. We need to help him," Matt declared, his voice firm.

The brothers guided Chris to a bench, where he sat trembling, still caught in the clutches of anxiety. Nick knelt in front of him, looking into Chris's eyes with genuine concern.

"Take deep breaths, Chris. You're safe. We're here for you," Nick reassured, his voice soothing.

As Chris tried to regain control of his breathing, Matt paced nearby, frustration evident in his expression.

"What triggered this? We need to figure it out so we can help you," Matt insisted, his protective instincts kicking in.

Chris struggled to articulate his feelings, his mind still clouded by panic. The bustling mall seemed to close in around them, exacerbating the intensity of the situation.

"I... I don't know. It just hit me," Chris stammered, his eyes darting around nervously.

Nick shot Matt a knowing look, silently conveying that pressuring Chris might not be the best approach. Instead, they sat with him in silence, offering a comforting presence.

After what felt like an eternity, Chris's breathing began to steady. The tight grip of panic slowly loosened its hold. Nick and Matt exchanged a relieved glance, their concern evolving into a shared determination to support their brother.

"We need to be more mindful of his triggers and help him manage stress better," Nick suggested, breaking the silence.

Chris nodded gratefully, his vulnerability laid bare before his brothers. The trio left the shopping mall together, the shared experience deepening their understanding of one another.

In the days that followed, the Sturniolo brothers engaged in open conversations about mental health. They learned to recognize signs of distress and became pillars of support for one another, their bond evolving to withstand the challenges that life threw their way.
