Your hands flew to your hair, desperately fisting on it while you tried to make yourself reason again although any tentative was by now futile. Your lungs felt as if they were burned by the lack of air as tears blurred your whole view, your own frantic heartbeat resounding through your ears, suppressing away any other sound. You didn't remember why you had freaked out this time- sometimes you couldn't just help it when the smallest things could send your mind into a ballistic state, it was stronger than you and before you'd know it, there would be tears streaming down your cheeks.

"It's okay," You gasped to yourself, not giving up on trying to get yourself back together, you could do this if you tried harder. "I can-" When your eyes landed on the piles of unfinished work for the week, you remembered why you had been stressed in the first place. Cold fingers tightened around your heart as the anxiety bubbled its way up to your throat all over again, a sob stumbled over your lips and then it was really more than useless to try and stop it. Because the stress overflowed and you felt yourself succumb to it, waterfalls ushering from your eyes as your whole body shook desperately.

The noise of your sobs had been so loud that you hadn't noticed or heard how the knob of the door had suddenly twisted.

"Baby?" A voice called, it was familiar and warm, the kind of voice that would melt any worry away, that could lull you to sleep, however, it was just a faint sound in the background, you heard it in the back of your head but your body and mind wouldn't react to it just yet.

Gentle fingers appeared on your shoulders and you felt your heart almost jump out of your chest, startled by the sudden contact. Your pupils were wildly dilated as you tried to look make out through the tears whoever was holding you. Then a voice called again, this time it was way closer than it had been before, it actually managed to shake something within you.

"Baby, what's wrong?" Concern dripped from his words and you could only remark how his voice was like a gentle caress on your frantic heart, spreading a warmth that made you feel like everything was going to be alright. The hands on your shoulders slid down to your arms, rubbing them comfortingly as if they knew exactly what you needed when you were in this state of mind. In fact, after a few moments, you felt like you could breathe normally again until there were no tears clouding your view anymore.

Baekhyun.

Baekhyun, Baekhyun, Baekhyun.

When you realized it was him standing in front of you, staring at you with is starry like orbs that were so warm yet pooled with worry, you felt everything fall right back into place again, yes, everything was going to be alright now that he's here. Nothing can go wrong if he's here, if his scent is impregnating in the walls of your home, on your clothes. Just everywhere.

"Baekhyun-" You breathed out, crushing yourself against his arms, your heart swell when he didn't hesitate to embrace you, his strong arms wrapping protectively around your body- gosh, you felt so safe, so protected that warm, comforting comets fell all over your body as he pressed you closer to him.

"Everything is going to be alright," He murmured in your ear before loosening his hold slightly, just so that he could glance at you as if he had to make sure all over again that you were indeed fine, that there weren't any more tears running down your cheeks. "Yes," you agreed quietly, "Because you're here," You added as you lifted your own eyes from his chest to return his gaze. The way his face softened into something so sweet, so adoring made your breath hitch in your throat as he leaned closer. A quiver left your lips when his mouth landed on your cheek, kissing the salty stains caused by your tears, gracing every inch with his feather-light yet extremely warm lips. Your hands fisted around his shirt when his lips trailed up your face, closing sweetly on your eyelid, a little pucker echoed when his lips left your skin.

Soon after, your face was pressed against all over again, his absurdly sweet scent taking over your senses, pulling into an extremely calm and relaxed state, all you could was lean into him and sigh contently.
