My Inner Demons ~ Oneshots & Preferences

Relationship Preferences ~ When You Have an Anxiety Attack

💗Ava💗

As someone who's had her fair share of anxiety attacks, she has a plan. She'll bring you to the couch or the bed, whichever is closer, and give you hugs and comfort as you need them. Once you're more calm, she'll do whatever else she has to to get you in a better state of mind, whether that be going out and getting your favorite while suffering through some of the awkward human interactions of her life, or staying by your side for the remainder of the day while fending off the Daemos and/or Lorelei. She would do anything for you in an instant, without second guessing it, because she loves you too damn much.

❤️Asch❤️

He's not sure what to do at first. He's not super used to having to care for other people, so he's a little lost. But once he sees that he's your best chance of calming you down, he'll silently pull you to him and keep you close until you manage to calm yourself. He'll ask you what caused you to act like that but will quickly back down if you're still sensitive to the subject. If you are willing to talk, he will listen to every word, intently, still holding on to you. If need be, he'll ignore his other plans for the day, no matter their importance, and spend as much time with you as you need in order to keep your mind off of your troubles. He'll keep the other Daemos at bay so they don't bother you or stress you out further. He'd never openly admit to it to anyone other than you, but he absolutely despises seeing you in pain and will do whatever it takes to ease it.

💙Pierce💙

Considering his already calming presence, he'll probably have an idea of what to do. He understands that he'll need to stay calm to help you, but that doesn't stop him from panicking on the inside. Once you're calm, he continues to offer his comfort through head pats, massages, and listening to anything you need to get off your chest. He'll keep you close for the day, trying to protect you from any potential triggers or stressful situations. He'll kind of spoil you, bringing you whatever you may want or need at any given moment. He'll let you occupy all of his time without objection to ensure that you're feeling better, whether it takes a few hours or a few days.

💚Leif💚

Though he doesn't seem like it, he's actually very comforting. His rocky past gave him some experience with dealing with stress and trauma, so he's surprisingly helpful to you. He tries not to leave you alone for too long, so he'll phase when getting things that you may want or need. He'll hear out your problems if you need to talk, but will also provide distractions with humor and flirtation if you need to get your mind off of anything. He completely spoils you, willing to do anything to assist you in your pain, even if it means that Asch or Rhys will give him hell for it later. He doesn't care, as long as you're happy, he'll be fine.

💜Rhys💜

As someone who spent a lot of his life primarily learning about magic rather than social situations, he's kind of at a loss. He'll rely on his instincts at first, managing to calm you down, but that will only bring him so far. Still, since he's always willing to learn, he does some research on anxiety attacks and tries to see what methods of comfort work best for you. And once he has a better understanding of anxiety attacks, he almost instantly goes from being helpless to incredibly helpful and soothing. He'll prepare your favorite foods, share his ice cream with you, stay by your side, and will all in all get you whatever you need at any given moment, whether it's midday or midnight. If you need to talk, he's prepared to both hear you out and talk you through the problem using his skills of reasoning. And even when he doesn't completely understand, he still tries to help you in any way he's able to, because he would gladly go above and beyond for you any day.

🧡Noi🧡

He doesn't really understand what's happening and initially kind of makes it worse by panicking, until he sees how it affects you and calms himself down to then comfort you. He may not be as prepared as Ava or Rhys, but he will really try to help you out in any way he's able to. He won't leave your side unless you need something, so expect a lot of cuddles and Socky the Sock Puppet. He can't stand seeing you hurt like that and he makes it very clear that he will do whatever he has to in order to make you better, no matter what it takes. He'll ignore any fears he has of the human world in order to "protect you" from your anxiety.
