Harry x reader (anxiety)

A/n: request from @CatasticVulcan
Hope you enjoy!

Being in charge of helping the Isle kids settle in was a job that was thrown on you last minute. Ben was getting swamped with all the VK's problems and you just so happened to be the closest person around that didn't really have a job to do. And boy did you regret saying yes. The job was stressing you out, and as the kings sister, you had to be your best all the time. You were constantly caught up in both, and they were sending your anxiety through the roof.

You had finally finished school on Friday, making it through all your classes with only small VK mishaps. But you were on edge all day due to the lack of sleep and the anticipation that something big was going to happen. You were so on edge that you forgot about the news crews that were swamping the castle this week due to the bringing down of the barrier. You were so caught up in checking everything that could still go wrong that you stepped outside and were instantly swamped. The lights flashed in your eyes and the noise was horrendous. Yelling and pointing and crowding. You looked around frantically as you felt your inner anxiety lash out. You quickly rushed back inside and slamming the door. You had your back against the door as you tried to stop it. But the feeling kept coming. You could feel your breathing start to struggle and you hand start to shake. You tried to scurry to your room as collected as you could. You could feel yourself starting to hyperventilate and your hand started to shake beyond your control.

You grew lightheaded just as you made it to the stairs leading to the dorms. You lost your bearings for a second and tripped, right into someone who steadied you.
"I knew you would fall for me eventually lass." You weakly tried to push Harry off and stumbled. He held you again, and a flash of concern crossed his eyes. Your shaking hand was white as you were gripping his arms.
"Are you alright love?"
The hyperventilating got worse and you could hear your heart beating in your ears. You quickly scrambled out of Harry's arms and made it to your room, just in time to collapse in the corners as the attack settled in and took full hold of you.

Harry's POV
I was familiar with the look in her eyes. The shaking and the hyperventilating. I used to get them before I moved away from my father and into Uma's ship. And I know that y/n hates me, but I need to help her, make sure she's ok. I softly knock on the door.
"Love? You alright?"
All I could hear were whimpers and quick shallow breath. I grabbed my hook from my belt and used it to pick the lock. I quickly locked the door behind me and saw y/n curled in a ball on the floor, heaving for air and violently shaking, her eyes wide and face pale.
I place my hook on the ground beside me and raise my hands so I don't look threatening. I slowly walk over to her and crouch down.
"Hi love. I've just come to help." I talk softly. She continuous to stare at me with fear in her eyes, hiding a small spark of relief.
"What do you need."
"H-h-hold."
I nod in understanding and help her sit up. I pull her so she is leaning into my chest and I wrap my arms around her. My hand instinctively starts to stroke her hair to make her more comfortable.
"Breathe with me, ok love? One deep breath in." I make and effort to exaggerate my breathing to guide her.
"And out." I take her through a couple more.
"That's perfect love. I'm proud of you. Keep going." We run through some more breathing until I feel her start to relax. The room is quiet, and I continue to stroke her hair and hold her close.

I look down at her to see tears starting to make there way down her cheeks. She lets put a sob and wraps her hands around me tightly. I carefully hold her and start to rock back and worth.
"Let it all out love, it'll help you feel better."

We stayed like that for what felt like hours, until her sobs no longer echoed around the room, and her breathing evened. I watch her as her eyes slowly close and she falls asleep. I catch myself admiring how beautiful she looks. I snap out of it when my phone buzzes and I notice it's very late. Too late to make it back to my room without being caught. I look down at her again and feel her arms still tight around me. I carefully take off my coat, slipping it out from under her arms and take my shoes off. I put an arm under her knees and carry her to her bed, lay down with her on my chest and carefully pull the covers up, making sure she's comfortable before I fall asleep.

Your POV

You slowly begging rub your groggy eyes. You can feel you cheeks are still red from last night. Your remember the attack. And how Harry comforted you. You smile as the butterflies flutter at the thought of the kind gesture.
"There's that beautiful smile." Your face goes redder as you slowly open your eyes, and realise you were laying on Harry's chest. You look into your eyes to see a look of adoration. His eyes were soft and he gave you a soft smile.
"Sleep love, you need it." You give him a smile and snuggle back down into his chest, exhaustion taking over.
"Thank you Harry." You mumbles into his chest.
"Anything for you." You feel him shift slightly as he softly kisses you on your forehead. You fall asleep smiling.
