Oliver's pov:

I heard his footsteps as he walked out of the room hitting off the main light leaving a glow from the night light in the corner. When the door  shut I heard a click of a lock, I flipped over in the crib to look through the bars towards the door and then glanced around the room, the windowless room, the only exit locked, I'm trapped. Panic rolled up in my  blood stream as I looked at the bars  for the clasps to pull it down, "Mason" i said in a shaking panicked voice. "Please, open the door Mason" I felt pathetic as I cried out, I must have been a sorry sight. I stood up the bars almost to my chest, I hoisted myself up and over it landing my sleeper covered feet on the floor waddling quickly to the door trying it, locked, I looked at the handle, no way to unlock from this side, I gave a bang on the door. "Mason please! Please don't lock me in, Mason please!" I sobbed out as I slid to the floor feeling slight weak from the hyperventilating and crying. Maybe he's not answering cause I'm using his name? "Daddy? Daddy please open the door, daddy please don't lock me in here!!" I begged out. Before heavy crying subsided my please. I scooted to my bag pulling out an inhaler, I don't have asthma or anything but my doctor recommended me them to take during a panic attack, and boy was I in one, I try to inhale deeply to try and get the aerosol medicine into my lungs to dilate my airways. I went back to the door still sobbing and begin more banging, " pl eassssee da ddddddyyy, open the door" I gave another bang before it's pulled open and the bright light from the room  illuminates the silhouette in the doorway that's now crouching down in front of me. "Fuck Oliver what's happened! I was in the shower and heard the banging and you shouting for daddy!" He said as he knelt before me in only boxers as I continued to hyperventilate sobbing, trying to gasp for air from the open doorway. "Fuck, Ollie" he said pulling me firmly into his arms as he hugged me tightly like bear squeeze, "shhh your okay, it's okay your fine" he leaned back taking the paci was was dangling from the footed sleeper placing it in my mouth and I began sucking on it calming my crying, I must have looked a right mess sitting here dressed like a baby and crying like one too.

"Want to talk about what got you so upset?" Mason said softly, I pulled the paci out, "you locked the door" Mason leaned back as I drew my sleeve under my eyes wiping the tears that were still falling. "Oh sorry I didn't know that would upset you?"
I looked away, "I um, I have claustrophobia and there's no window and no way out" I said feeling my breath quicken again with anxiety.
"Do you have asthma?" I shook my head no and he pointed to the inhaler firmly in my grip, "I um, god I can't say, not even my best friends at home know!" I said hanging my head.
"Hey shh, look my bedroom door is shut, it's only me and you here, if I'm going to be your daddy for the semester i should probably know your medical stuff" he said scratching the back of his neck. I sigh nodding, "I um suffer from panic attacks, anxiety and migraines" I keep my gaze down twiddling my fingers. "Okey, thank you for letting me know, so claustrophobia is a trigger? Any others?" I shrugged, I truly didn't know.  "And that's what your tablets are for?" I nodded. "Alright baby let's get you back into bed, does the crib contribute to your claustrophobia?" I waned to say yes so I didn't have to sleep in it but i remained honest and shook my head and he smiled standing up placing hands under mine pulling me to stand.

He unclipped the crib and i hopped in, Mason covered me in the duvet after placing the paci to my lips and teddy to my arms, I was embarrassingly comfortable. "I won't ever lock that door okay Ollie?, but I deserve your honestly of not wondering out of my room when you've been put to bed" he said and I nodded. "Do you want it wide open or closed or just open a sliver?" He asked gently. "Open pease" I lisp around the paci. "Okay Ollie I'll leave it open, you try get some rest, and thank you for being so brave and open with me" "ni" i attempted to say night as i snuggled down into the covers sucking on the paci enjoying the calm sensation that accompanied it.

Masons pov:

I really wasn't expecting him to be on the floor crying for daddy when I shut him into the room, it's a far cry from the cocky guy who I'd previously met. I didn't know I'd be soothing him out of a panic attack.
