A/N : Art is one of the illustrations that cryinghour made for their amazing fanfic over on AO3 about Steven's recovery. Tw for a panic attack. Takes place in between I Am My Monster and The Future

Everything felt like too much and too little at the same time. He felt like he was everywhere and nowhere. He was confused and scared.

Where was he? What was going on? He couldn't tell. He tried to find something to focus on but he just couldn't. He couldn't focus. Couldn't think. Though he tried so, so hard.

He was scared. His thoughts were racing because he felt so lost. Lost in his mind. Where the f*ck was he?

He thought he felt a hand on his shoulder. He couldn't tell. A voice was saying something. He couldn't make out what the voice was saying. The voice felt extremely familiar but he couldn't place it.

He could barely make out a tightness in his chest and a distant, rapid heartbeat in his ears.

"-..even" he heard ring through the fog "Ste..."

Who is that?

"STEVEN!" A shout of his name pulled him back to reality. He realized now that he was sitting up in his bed, having a panic attack. Pink skin, tears, the whole thing. Amethyst was hugging him and running a hand through his hair.

"Ste-man" she said one of her nicknames for him "It's okay, man. Just try to breathe?"

Eventually he calmed down. The pink glow left him and his sobs died down. Amethyst right there with him the whole way.

"You okay?" She asked

He took a deep breath "Now I am. Thanks"

A/N : Sorry if I didn't fully capture what dissociation is like. I haven't felt a ton of it in my life time.
