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

Just Maybe

~Anxiety's POV~

I wake up feeling off. I'm not quite sure what's off, but it's something...

Oh my god...

I sit up straight as I realize that I'm actually calm. It's the first time in a long time so I need to enjoy it, lord knows when it will happen again.

I get out of bed, change clothes, and put some actual effort towards my hair, eyeshadow, and foundation before stepping outside my room. I stop as I realize I haven't done this since...

I'm not gonna think about that right now... I need to enjoy this while it lasts.

I make my way into the kitchen and make some toaster waffles. I place the food on a plate and sit down at the table.

It's not long until Prince walks in. As soon as he does his mouth drops open in surprise.

"Anxiety?" he asks, confusion lacing his voice.

"Yeah?" I reply between bites of waffle.

"How are you feeling? I'm sorry if that's a weird question but for the last few weeks you've been locked up in your room, non-responsive, and now you're casually eating breakfast. Are you feeling better?" he asks. I give a slight nod before answering.

"Yeah... I just kinda woke up this morning feeling calm and peaceful for once so I figured I should make the most of it." I explain. Before Prince can reply again, another voice cuts through.

"It's 'kind of' not 'kinda', and it's good to hear that you're feeling better."

We both turn toward the voice to see Logic standing in the door way.

"Thanks." I mumble, becoming shy as I realize that I'm now the center of attention.

Prince notices my discomfort and changes the subject. I send him a thankful look and he responds with a smile.

Eventually, Morality walks in and I'm explaining my sudden change in behavior again. Thankfully, the topic doesn't stay on that for long as Morality quickly has us talking about dogs.

Of course, Logic brings up how cats are 'more intelligent and therefore, the dominant species'. This gets Morality and Logic arguing over which is better, cats or dogs. This causes Prince to speak up, saying 'You're both wrong, the best animal is clearly the dragon'. They turn to me for a tie breaker. I can't decide so they end up with some kind of compromise.

I can't help but smile internally at how happy the others are. I may not be there yet, but one day I might be able to be happy like them.

Maybe... Just maybe... I'm getting better.
