It's Not Perfect, It's Love - Prinxiety

The Video

~Prince's POV~

It's been 5 days since the 'meds incident' and Anxiety has only gotten worse. He hasn't came out of his room at all and is almost always curled up in a ball on his bed. I've gone in his room everyday to check on him and make sure he ate.

I had just checked on him when I felt myself being summoned. I sunk out of the mind and popped up next to Thomas.

"Hey Prince." He says, giving me a slight smile.

"Hey Thomas, what do you need?" I ask, returning the smile.

He looks down a bit, as if he's nervous about whatever he's going to say. "Well, I know you said that Anxiety isn't doing all that well... But I need to record a video today and I want to know if he would be okay to be in it." Thomas explains.

"I don't know..." I say, thinking, "I've been checking in on him and he hasn't exactly been getting any better... But then again, he won't ever get better if he never faces this... Hmmm, maybe it would be good to do the video. He can't stay in his room forever after all."

Thomas nods. "Okay then, I guess I should summon the others now..."

I wait as Logic pops up and then Morality, but not Anxiety...

"Thomas?" I ask, wondering what's wrong.

"I know, I know, it's just... I'm nervous... I haven't spoken to him since that day and I'm not sure how he will react..." he admits with a sigh.

"It's alright son, we're all here for you!" Morality says with a reassuring smile.

"I'm sure it won't go too bad." Logic adds.

"You can do it." I tell him.

He looks at all of us with a grateful smile on his face. "Alright then, here goes.."

~Thomas's POV~

"Alright then, here goes.."

I concentrate on summoning Anxiety. I feel a little resistance, as if he doesn't want to come, before he starts to pop up in front of me.

When Anxiety pops up, he looks around for a moment, confused, before our eyes lock and I see one emotion overwhelm his features...

Fear. He's scared of you, and he has every right to be. You could have seriously harmed him after all. That's probably what he thinks you tried to do.

I open my mouth to say something, apologise, anything really, but I don't get the chance. Before I can utter a single word, he breaks down in a panic attack. I feel horrible knowing that I was the sole cause of it. He seemed to be fine, or at least stable, before he saw me.

I see Prince immediately take action, telling Logic and Morality to take Anxiety back to the mind, and that he would be there in a second. He turns to me.

"I'm sorry about this, I guess he wasn't ready..." he looks away a bit before continuing, "I've had to help him with a lot of these since the incident... I can't believe how much this has effected him..." I notice a tear roll down his cheek. "He's so young... He shouldn't have to deal with this..."

"I'm sorry... Please, make sure he knows that." I say.

He looks up and smiles a bit, "Will do," he says before sinking down himself.

I sit there for a minute before I realize that I still have to do a video. I decide on a QnA and hope that the fans won't be too upset that the Sanders Sides won't be a part of it.
