Ghost Preferences and Oneshots

I will hold you for the minute it takes//Aurora + ???

My friend suggested angst so here ya go love!

It is the first time Aurora is going to be preforming! She is so scared! She doesn't know what to do with herself and breaks down, but someone is there to help her out.

~~

-Aurora POV-

Everyone else seems so content in knowing what they are doing.

Everyone is practicing quietly, playing a hand game with another, or chanting softly between themself and another. Everyone including Phantom knows what to do other than me. I'm just sat here not knowing.

It's my first performance with Papa and the rest of the Ghouls tonight and I couldn't be more scared. My fingers tangle together, dancing around nervously.

What happens if I screw it up? What if my mic is louder than Papa again? Will he actually get mad? Am I still supposed to dance around? What if I get too caught up in dancing and miss a part I'm supposed to sing? What if-

My mind spirals and my breath picks up. One of my hands travels to grasp at my helmet while the other searches for the wall nearby. I stumble back and when my back hits the wall i sink to the floor.

Both of my shaking hands grasp my helmet as the world around me fades and I get stuck in my wondering thoughts of impossible "What If's".

I gasp out shaky breaths as I start to slightly rock. I feel the tears forming in my eyes and slowly falling down my face. Surly this can't be how my first concert goes? I can't let this be how every one of my peers sees me. They are going to think I'm a baby after this now. I choke on a sob and gasp again. Breathing is becoming increasingly hard.

Why must this have had to happen now of all times? Now was totally the time to have a fucking panic attack because I'm not good enough. FUCK!

As the tears fall light whimpers and sobs start to escape my mouth. I feel a presence near me and a tail wrap around my leg. A hand has come into contact with my shoulder trying to steady me.

"Rory. Can I hold you?" I hear someone say. I try to say sure but instead my voice cracks and I squeak. I feel my glamor slip and my tail wraps around the tail that is wrapped around my leg.

"H-hel-" I choke on yet another sob. The person by me seems to take understanding. They pull the mask off of my face and take a seat behind me. They pull me into their lap and close to their chest. I grab their arms and start sobbing more.

"Shhhhh...let it out princess." The masculine voice says. A slight familiar musk of smoke and cinnamon hits my nose. Sodo?

My shaking slowly starts to stop as my sobs get quieter and turn into sniffles. My thoughts start to depart from my mind as I follow the breathing of the warm fire ghoul who is rubbing his thumb across my hand.

Our tails are dancing together slightly in an affectionate way. I nuzzle my head into his chest, and I feel him smile. His heartbeat is calm, and it help me focus in on my own breathing to calm my racing heart.

"I will hold you for the minute it takes, darling." Sodo says, pressing a warm kiss to my head. I let out a light purr. When I am sure I am fully calmed down from the madness that stormed inside my head I turn to him.

"T-thanks for helping me out." I say softly.

"You're welcome Aurora." He responds.

I press my forehead to his and our tails dance around together again, soon wrapping around each other.

"Come on love, we have to get you ready again." Sodo says lifting me out of his lap with ease. Despite him only being slightly taller than me his strength helps him to pick me up and lead me to my dressing room.

I glamor myself again and he helps paint the face paint back onto my face where it got smudged. He puts the paint down and glamours himself and we both head out to the rest of the Ghouls backstage. Hand in hand we walk over to where our masks are. We grab the respective mask and put them on, helping one another fit it right. He gives my hand another kiss before letting it go and running off to grab his guitar.

I smile to myself and take a final breath to ground myself. I can do this. I won't mess up. And even if I do it won't be then end. I am Aurora Ghoulette and I have got this. I can face this.
