Your P.O.V.

I just got a call about a case. They have found human remains out in the woods. I get all my stuff ready before I head out to the scene.
*10 minutes later*
I pull up to the scene and get out before walking over to Gil, who is talking to JT and Dani.

"Morning Gil, JT, Dani. What do we got?"
"Morning (y/n). We have two confirmed bodies, thats all we know."
"Alright. Let's see what I can find."

I say a little too excitedly. It might sound crazy but I am fascinated with bones. They're just so.... cool. Anyways. Sidetracked. I head over to the remains and start recovering them and looking for any cause of death. As I'm looking at the bones i hear someone coming towards me. I look up and see someone new. Oh no. No. Stay calm. You're okay. You can do this.

"So, what do we have here?"
Deep breathe. In and out.
"W-we have t-two bodies. I-i am trying to f-figure out the cause o-of death. But we may h-have to take these to the m-morgue for an autopsy."
God damn it. Why'd you have to stutter in front of the new guy.
"I see. Oh. I didn't Introduce myself. I'm Malcolm Bright. Obviously I was just hired."
He smiles at me while holding out his hand.
"I-i'm (y/n) (y/l/n). N-nice to meet y-you."
I grab his hand and we shake hands. I give him a small smile before looking away trying to breathe.
C'mon. Deep breathes (y/n). In. Out.

Malcolm's P.O.V.

We shook hands. He gave me a small smile before looking away.
Did i do something?

"Hey? You okay? Did i do something wrong?"
"N-no. It's not you. I-it's m-me. Oh god. I can't breathe."

He tries to satnd up but can't and falls back onto the ground. He grabs at his chest trying to breathe but he can't. Shallow breathing. Grabbing chest. Tears in eyes. Shaking. Panic attack. Shit.

I move over and kneel infront of him.

"Hey. Look at me. You're okay. Here, we're gonna try something. We're gonna breathe in for 4 seconds. Hold for 8, and exhale for 7. Okay? Let's try it. Breathe in. 1,2,3,4. Hold. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. And exhale. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7. Good. Once more."

We do this one more time before he seems to relax a little bit and rests his head on his knees and wraps his arms around his legs. I see his shoulders start to shake a little bit.

"Hey it's oka-"
"No! It's not o-okay! I had a panic a-attack in front of you b-because I don't do well with new people and now you probably think bad of me."
"I would never think bad of someone unless they give me a reason too. It's okay to have anxieties. Hell, I have some myself."
"R-really?"
"Yea. My dad's a serial killer. You might know him as "The surgeon". He did some things to me when i was a child which has messed me up a bit. But I can get through it. So can you."
"Wow. I'm sorry about that. Thanks for helping."
"You're welcome. Now. Let's get these remains to the morgue and find out what happened."

I stand up and help (y/n) up before we walk over to Gil and the others.

"We're gonna have to take the remains to the morgue for an autopsy and hopefully we'll get some answers to what happened."
"Alright. I'M GONNA NEED SOMEONE TO GRAB THE REMAINS AND -"
"I'LL DO IT."

We look at (y/n).

"*ahem* I-i'll do it."

He seems to shrink into himself before grabbing some latex gloves from his car and picking up the bones and putting them in a bag. He carries the back to his car and gets in to drive off to the morgue.

"Hey! Wait!"

I yell and jog over as he's opening his door.

"I thought you would like some company."

I smile at him before I get into his car as he says, "O-okay." He gets in and starts the car. As we head over to the morgue, I decide to ask him something.

"Hey, when Gil asked for someone to take he bones to the morgue, you seemed pretty excited to do that. Why's that?"
"Oh. Well, It might sound crazy but I'm fascinated by bones and I don't know. I just seemed to get excited at the fact that I would be handling them."
"They are fascinating aren't they? It's amazing the human body."
"Y-yea. It is."

I look out the window as we sit in comfortable silence the rest of the way.
