Jeremy was having an anxiety attack. The squip had made a few attempts to steady the boy's breath "manually" - stimulating the diaphragm and trying to take control of the heartbeat, but Jeremy's panic only got worse from that. So it takes another approach. Kind of an author's note: I actually i um i i kinda sorta was writing it while panicking (having an anxiety attack) myself and maybe kinda sorta maybe imagining kissing my partner and yeah....... 😵💫 Enjoy?? I guess???? Dedicated to my fricking brain for anxiety, to my magnificent partner for inspiration and to my wonderful beta (Forest Crow) for tremendous help! They also did the art i used for the cover, you should check them out: akapictorem Crosspost eng+ru: ao3, wattpad, ficbook.
