TRIGGER WARNING: anxiety attack
A loud creak interrupts the silence of the apartment. Looking up from the tattered second hand book in my hands to face the entry way.
"Lee?" I call to the black haired boy.
His long hair covers his eyes. Hands shaking slightly as he fumbles with his shoes. Standing up from my spot I go to walk over to him.
He just collapses on the floor, pale hands curling into his hair. His whole body begins to shake. Walking swiftly over to him and crouching in front of him.
"Lee, baby." I croon softly to him.
He lifts his head up, chocolate eyes filled with tears. Placing my hands on his own and pulling them away from his hair.
"Just focus on me, alright? Nothing else, just me."
"Eddie, Eddie. Help. Help, please." His voice comes out broken. Fingers curling around my hands like vicious white snakes.
"Hey, hey. Shhh shhhh. Eyes on me. Remember the trick we found?"
A slight nod. Eyes locked with my own.
"Go on, five things you can see."
"Y-you, the c-couch," He takes a massive gulp of air, my fingers feel like the circulation is about to be cut off. "Those ridiculous shoes you bought, a c-coffee mug and my bag."
I place my forehead softly on his. Laboured breath hitting my tanned skin.
"Four things you can touch, go baby."
Hands wonder up to my face, stroking my cheek bones.
"Your cheeks," he trails down to my lips. "L-lip."
I chuckle softly. "That's cheating."
He ignore me hands trailing from my lips to my throat back up to my nose.
"What can you hear?"
The worry lines on his forehead have faded from when he first came home.
"You."
"I'm starting to see a pattern here." I say.
"My breathing and," he taps the shoe he removed on the floor. "That."
I roll my eyes. "Two things you can smell."
He's quiet for a second, breathing in his nose deeply.
"You, again. Ummm, I think that air freshener we bought?"
"Taste, that's all we need and we're done."
He kisses me softly. I put both my hands on his waist. Pulling away, smiles gracing both our lips.
"You."
I chuckle softly at him, using one of my hands to cup his cheek. Immediately, he pushes into my hand.
"Are you okay now?" I ask.
"Yeah..... I want cuddles now. Maybe some tea?"
Smiling I helping him to his feet. Letting go of his hands, they start to shaking up and down slowly. One of his post-anxiety attack habits.
"Go lie down. I'll get you your tea and you put on a movie. Then I'll cuddle the shit out of you."
He pulls me into and hug. "You're the best boyfriend ever."
Pecking the top of his head gently. "I know baby. Now, go do what you're told."
"Yeah, yeah."
I smile as I watch him walk to the grungy couch. Black hair barley visible over the back. I walk toward the tiny kitchen make tea. Only turning at the large thump when Levi pegs his shoe in the general direction of the door. It lands in the hallway, close enough. One of us will pick it up later, after we trip over it.
After two cups are filled with steaming tea, I join my boyfriend on the couch. Lilo and Stitch's menu is playing on the tv. Looking over at him and smiling softly. Placing the two mugs on cheap coffee table.
"Come 'ere." I hold out my arms.
He crawls into them, placing his ear over my heart. The movie begins after he presses play, muting the volume as the THX logo shows up.
"Loudest thing in the world." I joke.
A small laugh. I move my hand to run through the black tangles.
"Do you know what caused that one?" I ask.
He shakes his head, eyes focusing on the screen.
"Can you pass me my tea?"
Leaning forward I grab the cup and hand it to him. He sits up, leaning against my side and stretching his legs out.
"Eddie?"
I hum in acknowledgement to my name.
"I love you."
A smile forms on my lips. Even after two years the words still make me feel warm.
"I love you too."
