The Therapist (Tom Hiddleston AU)

Chapter 2

"Alright, Go ahead"

"When I was 6.... Um my parents weren't home, I don't think, I dont know. And um, my mom had told me before that I was able to watch The Addams Family, the movie ya know?"

" Yes I know it"

" Anyway, my brother he uh told me I couldn't watch it, I told him I could and that mom said so and he said said that I could if I did something for him- I- um let him do..." I trailed off as my hands started to shake I looked down at them as I could feel the room getting smaller, every time I try to talk about it, this happens.....  "I-I don't wanna talk about it actually." I said as I snapped back into reality and wiped a tear with the sleeve of my black shirt. " um, That's okay we don't need to talk about anything you don't want to yet" he said clearing his throat while shifting his tie. No one needs to know about that time. I haven't had to think about it in so long, in fact I completely forgot about it until a couple months ago when I was staring at the ceiling at same god awful time (3:44 am to be exact) when I should be sleeping. ." I was lost in thought as usually thinking of good doodles or of random memories when I remembered it. I sat up in my bed, in the dark, with nothing but the moon light on my face and my dog quietly sleeping on my bed by me. I was so shocked that I just sat there, with my eyes wide open as i searched for anything, anything at all to prove it was fake. But all that happened was everything. Everything about that moment came flooding back, the talking, the feelings, the- touching. all of it. I just broke down and lost it I was crying so hard I thought I was going to die. I didn't know what to do. I don't know what to do, I haven't told anyone, Why should I? Why would they believe me over him? I'm the one with the issues they probably wouldn't even BELIEVE ME." I finished with a shaky sigh. I came back to reality to find my self curled up with my head between my legs as my fingers were knotted in my hair trying to grasp onto something real. Also a smell, a very nice cologne, oh shit. I forgot I was still in Mr. Hiddleston office.

When I moved slightly and began to relax I realized that Mr. Hiddleston was sitting beside me and I had been leaning against him. "did I" I said very quietly as I released my fingers from my hair and straightened my legs out. " Say all of that out loud ? Yes " he said  bluntly but with kindness in his voice. "I tried to calm you down but-" he continued but I cut him off "I was already gone, in my own little hell, it happens a lot, sorry if i freaked you out." I said as i fixed myself so I sat regularly on the couch fiddling with my fingers. "It's okay, I just didn't expect it, does your mother know about your, episodes?" He asked calmly drinking a cup of tea he picked up from the coffee table that seemed to come from no where. "um, kinda, your the first person to see, the uh, more intense ones, normally they happen at night when I'm alone or in a bathroom when I'm out and things are just to overwhelming I guess." "It's alright Luna you're going to be alright, if you let me, I'd like to help you." he said with caring eyes as he placed a hand on my knee that was currently next to his I flinched a little at his action and he moved his hand away and to his lap . "dammit me stop that he's cute!!! and his hands are nice" I thought as i continued to mentally kick myself. "please don't, tell anyone about this, Okay ?" I said quietly as if people could hear us in his office. We looked into each others eyes deeply as he said "I won't darling" "ugh I could just DIE" I thought mentally blushing and swooning as our heads natural got closer together. We stared into each others eyes as if nothing else was there, until his phone ringed and we both jumped away from each other like we were guilty children.

I blushed madly as he got up and quickly walked to the phone. I gathered my things to make sure I was ready for a quick getaway  when he was done on the phone. "Alright thank you, I'll be ready for him in a bit." he said with ease as he put the phone down. He turned to me and looked like he was about to say something but just as he was about to speak the door opened and my mom walked in. " Hi Honey!" she said as she gave me a hug "time for my great acting skills to come into play" I thought as I plastered on a smile and embarrassed her hug "Hi Mom!" I said happily as if nothing bad has ever happened to me. When I turned around to face Mr. Hiddleston to say goodbye he was a little shocked at how I had pulled a complete 180 so quickly. I was feeling less awkward and shot him a wink which make him smile and blush a little. "So how was your sessions guys?" My mom asked. Mr.Hiddleston stumbled looking for the right words as I just jumped right in with mostly lies. Something I've learned to master pretty well. "Oh it was great we talked mostly about about our selves to get to know each other better! For insistence..." I paused quickly as I looked around the room again putting those those hours of reading and watching everything about Sherlock Holmes to good use! "Tom and I both love Shakespeare, tea and antique things! We've bonded quite well over Othello also! Oh! and did you know that Mr. Hiddleston wanted to be an actor? He also studied at Eton and RADA !!" I said excitedly as Tom's mouth was slightly a jar from all the knowledge I just dropped. I smirked to him as he agreed with me, and my mom was just exited I talked to someone. She said that we had to be going now and we said our goodbyes .

"Goodbye Mr.Hiddleston" "Goodbye Luna".

Later That day I was on my Laptop when I received an email, It was from Mr.Hiddleston, it read:
