: ĢĢā requested! for @alexandralily0709
ā Your hands are not leaving. Danhausen would notice if they tried to escape. ā
⤿ After a show, youāre hit with a sudden panic attack backstage. Danhausen finds you and gently helps you breathe through it, revealing he understands more than he lets on.
tags | panic/anxiety attack | fluff | hurt/comfort |
It began in a hallway that should not have been frightening.
That was the worst part, really. Nothing had happened, not properly, not in the sort of way you could explain with your hands and your mouth at the same time, not with a neat little cause you could point to and say, there, that is where it started.
The arena corridor was the same as it always was after a show, bright in that overlit backstage way that made every shadow look weak and every face look too awake. Production crates lined the walls in black stacks. Someone had left a half-empty bottle of water on top of a speaker case, condensation dripping down the plastic in slow, tired lines.
Farther off, people were laughing, the kind of loud, relieved laughter that came after a good match and a decent crowd, and somewhere beyond that came the muffled thump of music from the venue speakers as the last fans filed out. It was ordinary. It was familiar. It was safe.
Your body disagreed.
At first it was only a thin thread of unease tugging somewhere beneath your ribs. You thought you could walk it off, because that was what you always told yourself. Walk. Keep your face normal. Smile if someone looks. Find a quieter room. Drink water. Breathe.
Except the more you told yourself to breathe, the less your body seemed interested in doing it properly. Air came in sharp and shallow, as if your lungs had suddenly become too small for the shape of you. Your fingers tingled at your sides. Your jaw ached from clenching.
The hallway tilted in a way that made no sense, not enough to be dramatic, just enough to make you feel wrong inside your own skin.
You stopped beside a stack of road cases and pretended to check your phone.
The screen lit up too bright. The numbers blurred. Your thumb hovered uselessly over nothing, and all at once the noise around you seemed to separate into layers, each one too distinct.
Rubber wheels squeaking across concrete. Someone calling out for a missing wrist tape roll. A door slamming. Laughter again, sharper this time. The buzz of the lights above you. Your own pulse, which had no business being that loud, hammering in your ears like something trying to get out.
You pressed the heel of your hand against your sternum, subtle at first, then harder.
āNot now,ā you whispered under your breath, barely moving your lips. āPlease, not now.ā
Your body, traitorous and dramatic, did not listen.
The edges of the hallway began to feel too far away and too close at the same time. Your chest tightened until every breath became a negotiation you were losing. You turned toward the nearest door, not even checking where it led, just needing somewhere that was not open, not watched, not full of passing people who might ask you what was wrong when you didnāt have the words to answer. Your hand fumbled with the handle once, twice, and then you stumbled through into a smaller room that smelled faintly of dust, old coffee, and electrical equipment.
It was some sort of storage room, or maybe a forgotten office that had given up on being useful. There were folded chairs against one wall, a cracked mirror leaning near a filing cabinet, a table with a dead printer on it, and a single lamp in the corner that someone had left on. The yellow light was softer than the hallway, but not soft enough to stop the panic from blooming fully through your chest.
You shut the door behind you and stood with your back against it, trying to swallow around a throat that felt too tight.
āIn,ā you told yourself, dragging air in through your nose so quickly it caught. āOut.ā
It did not work. It made you more aware of how badly you were breathing. Your hands were shaking now, no longer a slight tremor you could hide by curling your fingers into your palms, but a visible, humiliating flutter. You slid down the door before you could make a decision to do it, knees bending, body sinking, shoulders hitting the wood with a dull thud. The floor was cold through your gear. Your stomach twisted. Your face burned. You put both hands over your mouth because the sound coming out of you was too close to a sob and you hated it, hated that your body could turn you into something so small when nothing was touching you.
You did not know how long you sat there.
Time became strange during panic. It stretched and folded. Seconds felt like they lasted too long and disappeared too quickly. You were aware of your knees pulled toward your chest, of your fingers digging into the fabric over your thighs, of the hot sting behind your eyes, of your heart slamming so hard it made you think, irrationally, that something was happening to you, something real, something medical, something fatal.
Then the door moved against your back.
You jerked forward with a broken sound, startled so badly your shoulder knocked the wall beside you.
āOccupied,ā you tried to say, but it came out as a cracked gasp.
The door opened only a few inches before it stopped against your body. On the other side, someone made a small, curious noise, followed by a pause so deliberate it cut through the chaos in your head. Not impatient. Not irritated. Just noticing.
āAh,ā came a familiar voice, softer than usual, still unmistakably strange around the edges. āThere is a person guarding the door with their whole body.ā
You squeezed your eyes shut. Of course. Of course it was him.
āDanhausen,ā you breathed, though it barely made it past your teeth.
The door did not push harder. The gap stayed small. You could see only the toe of one black boot and a sliver of red fabric through it. His voice lowered until it no longer carried the theatrical sharpness he used in hallways, on camera, in front of crowds and enemies and vending machines that owed him money.
āIs this person Y/N?ā
You almost laughed, which came out closer to a sob. āNo...ā
There was another pause.
āDanhausen suspects it is you.ā
You pressed your palms into your eyes. Your breath hitched again, too fast, too frantic, and your whole body seemed to fold inward as if it could hide from itself. āIām fine,ā you forced out, each word thin and unconvincing. āJust, um. Just give me a minute.ā
He did not move away. You knew he had not moved away because you could hear the faint creak of his gear, the careful shift of his weight, the stillness of someone choosing not to rush a frightened animal.
āAre you hurt?ā he asked.
āNo.ā
āAre you bleeding?ā
āNo.ā
āIs someone needing to be cursed very badly?ā
That one nearly broke you. A wet laugh escaped, and it was awful, shaky and breathless, but it was still a laugh. āNo.ā
āGood,ā Danhausen replied, very gently. āThen Danhausen will not do violence yet.ā
The absurdity of it should not have helped. It did anyway. Only a little, barely enough to notice, but it gave your mind something to catch on to besides the terror in your chest. You wiped roughly beneath one eye with the heel of your hand, embarrassed even though he still could not properly see you.
āI canāt,ā you whispered.
The silence changed. You felt it, somehow. The hallway beyond him continued its distant noise, but between the two of you, something went very quiet.
āYou cannot what?ā he asked, careful now.
You shook your head, then remembered he couldnāt see the gesture. āBreathe. I canāt breathe properly.ā
The door gap widened a fraction, then stopped again. āMay Danhausen come in?ā
Your instinct was to say no. Not because you did not want him, but because wanting him there made you feel worse, more exposed, more pathetic. Danhausen was funny. He was ridiculous. He was lovely in ways that made your chest ache even on good days. He painted his face like a creature from a cursed carnival, spoke about teeth and evil blimps and sacks of human monies, and somehow made every room warmer by being odd in it. You did not want him to see you like this, curled on the floor of a storage room because your nervous system had decided the ordinary world was unbearable.
But the thought of him leaving made the panic spike so sharply that your fingers scrambled against the floor.
āDonāt go,ā you said, too quickly, too honestly.
The gap in the door stilled again.
āDanhausen will not go,ā he promised, and there was no performance in it. āBut he needs the door to open a little, or he will have to become very flat, like haunted paper. Can you move just a tiny bit away from it?ā
You dragged yourself sideways with a clumsy, embarrassed shuffle, one hand braced against the floor and the other pressed to your chest. The door opened slowly, inch by inch, as if he feared startling you more than he feared anything else. Danhausen slipped inside and closed it behind him without letting it click loudly. He took in the room in one quick glance, then you, then the space around you, and his painted expression did not change dramatically. He did not gasp. He did not make you feel like a spectacle. He simply lowered himself to the floor several feet away, cross-legged at first, then awkwardly rearranging one knee because his gear did not allow him the dignity of sitting like a normal person.
āHello,ā he said.
You stared at him through watery eyes. āHi.ā
āThis is a bad time, yes?ā
You nodded, swallowing hard. āYeah.ā
āOkay,ā Danhausen murmured, as if that settled something important. āThen we will make it less bad.ā
The words were so simple that your eyes stung worse. You bent forward, elbows pressing into your knees, trying and failing to force air past the tightness in your chest. It came in too fast again, and suddenly the room seemed to shrink. Your hands flew to your throat, not grabbing, just hovering there in panic.
āI canāt,ā you gasped. āI canāt get it right. I know Iām supposed to breathe, but I canāt. It feels like Iām choking.ā
āYou are not choking,ā Danhausen said, still soft, but firmer than before. āIt is lying to you.ā
You looked at him, startled.
āThe body,ā he clarified, touching two fingers to his own chest. āIt is being a very dramatic little goblin. It says, oh no, danger, death, doom, perhaps bees. But there are no bees. There is only breathing that got confused.ā
Your mouth trembled. āIt feels real.ā
āYes,ā he answered immediately. āIt feels very real. That is why it is rude.ā
Something about the certainty in his tone made you stare at him longer. He was not guessing. He was not offering cheerful nonsense from an article he had half-read while waiting in catering. There was recognition in the way he watched your shoulders, your hands, the frantic rise and fall of your chest. There was care, yes, but there was also memory. His gaze kept flicking to small details, not in the intrusive way people sometimes watched panic, but like someone checking a map he had once needed to survive.
āYouāve done this before,ā you whispered, the words slipping out before you could stop them.
Danhausen went still for a moment.
Then he looked down at his hands, pale fingers flexing against the black fabric over his knee. āDanhausen has met the dramatic goblin many times.ā
Your chest hitched, and this time it hurt for a different reason.
He looked back up before you could apologize for asking without asking. āBut now it is bothering you, and that is unacceptable. So we will trick it.ā
āHow?ā
āFirst,ā he said, raising one finger in a solemn, teacherly manner, āyou must stop trying to take giant breaths. The giant breaths are making your body think there is a larger problem. We want small, boring breaths. Very boring. So boring the panic gets offended and leaves.ā
You gave him a disbelieving look through tears. āYou want me to bore my panic?ā
āYes,ā Danhausen said seriously. āPanic is a terrible audience. It needs drama. We give it paperwork.ā
A laugh broke out of you, tiny and cracked, but it loosened something. Not enough, not nearly enough, but your next breath came slightly less jagged.
Danhausen noticed. His eyes softened.
āGood,ā he praised, but not loudly. āVery good. Now look at Danhausenās hand, please.ā
He lifted one hand between you, palm facing sideways, fingers loose. He did not reach for you. He did not close the distance without permission. He just held his hand where you could see it.
āWe breathe in when Danhausenās hand goes up,ā he explained, raising his palm slowly through the air. āNot too much. Just a little sip of air. Then hold for one count if you can. Then out when it goes down, longer than in. Like you are fogging a mirror, but there is no mirror, because the mirror in this room looks cursed and Danhausen does not trust it.ā
Despite everything, your gaze flicked to the cracked mirror by the filing cabinet.
āDonāt look at it,ā he added quickly. āIt has bad opinions.ā
You let out another broken laugh, then dragged your attention back to his hand.
āReady?ā he asked.
You shook your head. āNo.ā
āThat is okay. We start anyway, but gently.ā
His hand rose slowly.
āIn,ā he murmured.
You tried. Air caught in your throat, uneven and shallow.
āGood enough,ā he said before you could panic about doing it wrong. āHold one little second. Not a big heroic second. Just a small one.ā
His hand hovered.
āOut,ā he said, lowering his palm.
You exhaled shakily through your mouth. It came out in pieces.
āThere. Again.ā
He repeated the motion, steady and calm, and you followed it as best you could. In with his hand rising. A tiny hold. Out with his hand falling. The first few rounds felt useless. Your chest still hurt. Your fingers still tingled. Your brain still screamed that you were in danger. But Danhausen did not look disappointed. He did not tell you to calm down, which would have made you want to climb out of your own skin. He only kept moving his hand like a strange little metronome and speaking in that low voice that seemed to have tucked itself away from the rest of the world.
āThat is it,ā he murmured after a while. āThe air goes in. The air goes out. Very traditional. The lungs remember their ancient job.ā
You breathed out, a little longer this time.
āExcellent. Very professional lungs.ā
Your shoulders trembled. āThey donāt feel professional.ā
āThey must be interns,ā he allowed. āBut they are learning.ā
You closed your eyes for one breath, then snapped them open again when the darkness behind your lids made the dizziness worse.
Danhausen caught the movement. āEyes open is fine. Look at the floor if you need. Or look at Danhausen. He is very nice to look at, despite being extremely cursed.ā
Your laugh was watery. āYou are.ā
āThank you. Danhausen has worked hard on being both.ā
The breathing rhythm continued. Your chest still felt tight, but it no longer felt impossible. The room remained too warm, too small, too full of your own heartbeat, but the air had started to come back in manageable pieces. You focused on his hand, on the black polish chipped at the edge of one fingernail, on the careful way he moved, on the fact that his theatrical persona had not disappeared exactly, only softened, like a candle behind paper.
After another minute, he lowered his hand to his knee.
āNow we do the naming things,ā he said.
You frowned faintly. āWhat?ā
āThe grounding,ā he explained. āFive things you can see. Four things you can feel. Three things you can hear. Two things you can smell. One thing you can taste. It reminds the brain that it is here and not in the horrible imaginary future place.ā
You stared at him, breath still uneven but slower than before.
He tilted his head. āUnless you hate this one. Some people hate this one. Danhausen sometimes hates this one because he becomes annoyed by having to perceive too many objects.ā
That, weirdly, made you feel less alone than any polished reassurance could have. āNo,ā you whispered. āI can try.ā
āGood. Five things you see.ā
You looked around the storage room. At first, everything blurred together into shapes and light and panic. Danhausen waited. He did not rush you. He picked at a loose thread on his sleeve as if you had all the time in the world.
āThe lamp,ā you managed.
āYes. Ugly lamp.ā
āThe chairs.ā
āMany sad chairs.ā
āThe printer.ā
āDead. Very dead. Danhausen can tell.ā
āThe mirror.ā
āUnfortunately.ā
You swallowed, and your gaze landed on him. His face paint was slightly smudged near the edge of his jaw from the long night, black and white stark beneath the soft yellow light. His eyes were fixed on you, patient and warm.
āYou,ā you said quietly.
Danhausenās fingers paused on the loose thread.
Then he nodded once, very solemnly, though his voice had gone softer. āYes. Danhausen is visible.ā
Your mouth twitched.
āFour things you can feel,ā he continued.
You pressed your palms to your thighs, trying to notice something other than fear. āThe floor. Itās cold.ā
āRude floor.ā
āMy gear. Itās tight.ā
āAlso rude.ā
āMy hair on my neck.ā
āSuspicious, but acceptable.ā
You hesitated. Your hands were still trembling. You rubbed your thumb against the side of your index finger and focused on the sensation. āMy hands. Tingling.ā
Danhausen nodded, not alarmed. āThat happens when the breathing is too fast. It is scary, but it passes. Your hands are not leaving. Danhausen would notice if they tried to escape.ā
You exhaled, almost smiling. āGood.ā
āThree things you hear.ā
You listened. This was harder. The sounds had been attacking you earlier, but now, with his voice guiding you through them, they became separate again.
āPeople in the hallway,ā you said.
āYes.ā
āThe lights buzzing.ā
āVery annoying.ā
You listened again, and your gaze dropped to his hand, which was resting on his knee, thumb tapping slowly against his leg. One, two, three. One, two, three. A rhythm you had not noticed until then. āYour hand,ā you murmured.
He glanced down, as if he had not realized he was doing it. The tapping stopped for half a second, then resumed, slower.
āYes,ā he said. āDanhausenās hand.ā
āDo you do that for you or for me?ā
His expression shifted, just slightly. It might have been a smile if he had let it become one. āBoth.ā
Your heart hurt again, but not sharply now. More like a bruise being touched by kindness.
āTwo things you can smell,ā he prompted.
You inhaled carefully. Not deep. Just enough. āDust.ā
āDisgusting.ā
āAnd...ā You breathed again, and beneath the stale storage room smell, there was something warmer from him, something like clean fabric, faint cologne, and the lingering sweetness of whatever catering dessert he had probably stolen earlier. āYou smell like vanilla.ā
Danhausen blinked.
You immediately wanted to disappear. āSorry. That sounded weird.ā
āNo,ā he said, sitting a little taller. āDanhausen accepts this compliment. He ate three cookies and was told this was too many, but now it has become aromatherapy, so everyone else was wrong.ā
A real laugh slipped out of you that time. It shook, but it was yours.
He looked deeply satisfied.
āOne thing you can taste.ā
You grimaced faintly. āPanic.ā
Danhausen narrowed his eyes. āBad taste.ā
āYeah.ā
āDo you have water?ā
You patted at your side automatically, then remembered you had abandoned everything somewhere between gorilla and the hallway. āNo.ā
Danhausen reached slowly toward the pocket of his jacket, pausing halfway to make sure the movement did not startle you. When you did not flinch, he pulled out a small bottle of water that was only slightly crushed.
āDanhausen has stolen this from catering,ā he admitted, holding it out but not forcing it into your space. āFor emergencies. And also thirst.ā
You took it with both hands because one did not feel trustworthy enough. Your fingers brushed his briefly, and even through the panic-haze you noticed how careful he was, how he let you be the one to close the distance. The cap crackled loudly when you twisted it open, and you took the smallest sip possible. The water was lukewarm. It tasted like plastic. It was the best thing you had ever had.
āThere,ā he said. āNow the taste is criminally warm water. Improvement.ā
You nodded, wiping your mouth with the back of your hand. āThank you.ā
Danhausenās gaze moved over your face, checking, measuring. āIs the terrible wave still at the top, or is it going down?ā
You thought about it. That alone felt like progress, being able to think about the panic instead of only being swallowed by it. āDown,ā you said, voice rough. āStill there. But down.ā
āGood. It will keep going down. Sometimes it goes down in stupid little steps and sometimes it comes back up for one last scare because it is rude. But it cannot stay forever. The body gets tired of screaming.ā
The familiarity in that sentence was too much to ignore.
You looked at him carefully. āDanhausen.ā
He hummed in response, eyes flicking briefly to yours.
āHow many times have you had to tell yourself that?ā
His hand stilled on his knee.
For a moment, you thought he might dodge it. He was good at dodging in strange directions, slipping out of sincerity by turning himself into a joke before anyone could touch the soft parts. You would not have blamed him. You almost hoped he would, because asking had made you feel exposed all over again.
But Danhausen only drew in a slow breath through his nose, held it briefly, and let it out the way he had shown you.
āA lot,ā he said at last.
Your throat tightened.
He looked at the floor between you, his shoulders slightly hunched now, not with fear but with the carefulness of sharing something heavy. āSometimes after the loud places. Sometimes before the loud places. Sometimes for no reason, which is the most annoying reason because there is no villain to curse. Danhausen prefers when problems have faces. Then he can point at them and say, you. You are the problem. But sometimes the problem is just...ā He made a vague gesture toward his chest, fingers curling. āIn here, making bad weather.ā
You stared at him, tears slipping quietly down your cheeks now for reasons that had changed shape.
āI didnāt know,ā you whispered.
āDanhausen does not advertise it on a T-shirt,ā he replied, then considered it. āAlthough perhaps he should. Front says Very Evil. Back says Sometimes Needs a Quiet Room.ā
You laughed softly, and he smiled then, small and real and not quite hidden beneath the paint.
āIām sorry,ā you murmured.
His brows drew together. āFor what?ā
āFor making you deal with mine.ā
āNo,ā he said at once, so firmly that you blinked. He leaned forward slightly, still leaving space, but his voice had sharpened in that protective way he sometimes got when someone insulted his friends, or his snacks, or his ability to threaten inanimate objects. āNo apologies for having a body that panics. The body is trying to protect you. It is doing a very bad job, yes, but it is trying. You would not apologize if you had a hurt ankle.ā
āI might,ā you admitted.
āThen Danhausen would tell you that is foolish also.ā
You looked down, twisting the water bottle in your hands until the plastic crinkled. āItās embarrassing.ā
āYes,ā he agreed, and somehow that helped more than denial would have. āIt is embarrassing. Danhausen once had to sit behind a vending machine for twenty minutes because the hallway was too much and he could not remember how to be a person. The vending machine was not kind. It hummed in a judgmental manner.ā
Your lips parted. āYou hid behind a vending machine?ā
āNot hid,ā he corrected with dignity. āStrategically recovered.ā
āBehind a vending machine.ā
āIt was large. It had presence.ā
A laugh bubbled out of you again, gentler this time, and when it faded, the silence left behind did not feel as frightening. Your breathing was still not perfect, but it was yours again. In. Out. A little shaky. A little bruised. But happening.
Danhausen watched you for a few more seconds, then shifted carefully onto his knees.
āMay Danhausen sit closer?ā
The question made something warm flicker beneath the exhaustion. Not because he asked, though that mattered, but because he asked as if your answer could be no and he would respect it completely.
You nodded. āYeah.ā
He moved closer, not all the way, just enough that the space between you became companionable instead of distant. He sat beside you with his back against the door, shoulder a few inches from yours. From here, the scent of vanilla was stronger. So was the faint smell of face paint and laundry detergent and backstage dust clinging to both of you.
Neither of you spoke for a while.
The hallway noise continued on the other side of the door, but it felt less like an attack now and more like weather outside a window. You took another sip of water. Danhausen tapped his thumb once, twice, then seemed to catch himself and stopped.
āYou donāt have to stop,ā you said quietly.
He glanced at you.
āThe tapping,ā you explained. āIt helped.ā
His face softened again. āAh.ā
He resumed, gentle and steady against his thigh. One, two, three. One, two, three.
You let your head fall back against the door. āI hate when it happens in public.ā
āYes,ā Danhausen said. āPublic is very rude for having people in it.ā
That earned a tired smile. āExactly.ā
āAnd lights.ā
āThe lights are the worst.ā
āAnd sounds.ā
āSo many sounds.ā
āAnd people asking, are you okay, when the answer is clearly no, but saying no requires too much paperwork.ā
You turned your head toward him. āYou get it.ā
He did not make a joke immediately. He looked back at you, and something deeply tender moved through his expression, something that made him seem less like a man wearing a strange face and more like a strange man letting you see his real one underneath.
āYes,ā he said simply. āDanhausen gets it.ā
The softness of that settled over you heavier than any blanket. Your eyes filled again, but this time the tears did not arrive with terror. They came with relief, which was almost worse because relief had a way of making you realize how frightened you had been.
āOh no,ā Danhausen murmured, noticing immediately. āIs the crying worse crying or better crying?ā
You laughed and cried at the same time, covering your face with one hand. āBetter, I think.ā
āGood. Better crying is allowed.ā
āThank you for checking.ā
āDanhausen is a professional.ā
āAt panic attacks?ā
āAt many things,ā he said. āPanic attacks. Curses. Teeth. Tag team betrayal. Soup.ā
You lowered your hand and looked at him. āSoup?ā
He nodded solemnly. āEmotionally, yes.ā
You shook your head, smiling despite the dampness on your face. The smile wobbled, but it existed. Danhausen looked at it as if it were a small, miraculous object he did not want to frighten away.
āYou are returning,ā he said.
āWhat?ā
He gestured vaguely at you, not touching. āYou went somewhere horrible in your head. Now you are coming back.ā
The words landed somewhere deep. You had never thought of it like that before, but he was right. Panic did feel like being taken from yourself. Not dramatically, not magically, but in a way that made the ordinary world unreachable. And now, slowly, with his ridiculous voice and his stolen water and his careful breathing, you were returning to the room. Returning to the floor beneath you. Returning to the ugly lamp and the sad chairs and the dead printer. Returning to Danhausen sitting at your side, tapping a rhythm onto his thigh because it helped you.
āI didnāt think anyone would notice,ā you admitted.
āDanhausen noticed.ā
āYou always notice weird things.ā
āYes,ā he said, and this time he sounded pleased. āYou are one of them.ā
Your chest warmed. āIām a weird thing?ā
āA very important weird thing.ā
You looked away, suddenly overwhelmed again, but not with panic. āThatās weirdly sweet.ā
āDanhausen is weirdly sweet. Like cursed candy.ā
You laughed under your breath. āYouāre not cursed candy.ā
He gave you a sidelong look. āYou do not know this.ā
Your shoulder brushed his lightly when you shifted, and you both noticed. He did not move away. Neither did you. The contact was tiny, almost nothing, but after the loneliness of the panic, it felt enormous. Warmth through fabric. A point of proof. Someone else was there.
After a minute, Danhausen spoke again. āWhen the wave comes down more, we should get you somewhere better than this room. This room has the energy of tax fraud.ā
You glanced around. āYeah. Itās not great.ā
āNo. Also Danhausen does not like the mirror.ā
āIt has bad opinions.ā
āExactly.ā
You took another sip of water, then held the bottle against your chest. āI donāt know if I can go back out there yet.ā
āThen we do not go yet.ā
āBut people might wonder where I am.ā
āThey can wonder. Wondering builds character.ā
You smiled faintly. āWhat if they come looking?ā
āThen Danhausen will open the door very slightly and hiss at them.ā
āPlease donāt hiss at anyone.ā
āFine. Danhausen will politely inform them you are busy being alive.ā
Your smile softened into something shaky and grateful. āThat sounds nice, actually.ā
āBeing alive?ā
āBeing allowed to be busy doing it.ā
Danhausen turned that over in his head. You could see him thinking, not quickly discarding the sentence but keeping it, examining its edges. Then he nodded once.
āYes,ā he said. āSometimes being alive is the whole task. People forget this because they are obsessed with emails and protein shakes and having opinions.ā
You leaned your head back again. āYou sound like youāve thought about this a lot.ā
He shrugged, but there was no real carelessness in it. āDanhausen has had to. The world is loud. The inside of the head is louder. Sometimes the only way to survive is to make instructions for yourself. Drink water. Find wall. Feet on floor. Breathe out longer. Name objects. Do not trust the doom thoughts. Do not make decisions while the goblin is screaming.ā
You absorbed each sentence like he was placing small stones in your hands, one by one, giving you something to carry for later. āDo not make decisions while the goblin is screaming,ā you repeated.
āVery important,ā he said. āThe goblin is a terrible manager.ā
You nodded, looking down at your hands. The tingling had faded to a faint buzz at your fingertips. Your heartbeat still felt tired and too noticeable, but it was no longer galloping out of control. The worst of it had passed, leaving behind the shaky aftermath, the embarrassed exhaustion, the strange hollow feeling that always made you want to apologize for taking up space.
Danhausen seemed to sense that too.
āDo not do it,ā he warned.
You blinked. āDo what?ā
āMake the sorry face.ā
āI donāt have a sorry face.ā
āYou have a very loud sorry face.ā
You pressed your lips together, caught. āI was just going to say thank you.ā
āThank you is allowed. Sorry is not.ā
āThank you,ā you said obediently, voice soft.
āYou are welcome.ā
A beat passed.
āAnd Iām...ā You stopped when he gave you a look. āGrateful.ā
āGood save.ā
You laughed quietly.
Danhausenās shoulder touched yours again, a little more deliberately this time. āYou can also ask Danhausen for help before it becomes the giant wave. If you notice the little wave. Or the medium wave. Or the suspicious puddle.ā
āI donāt want to bother you.ā
He looked genuinely offended. āBother Danhausen? You think helping you breathe is more bothersome than listening to people explain cryptocurrency in catering?ā
You grimaced. āSomeone did that?ā
āFor twelve minutes.ā
āThatās awful.ā
āExactly. This is nothing. This is useful. This is you.ā
There it was again, that directness that knocked the breath out of you in a gentler way. You turned your head, finding him already looking at you.
āYou make it sound easy,ā you whispered.
āIt is not easy,ā he replied. āBut it is simple. Different things.ā
Your eyes moved over his face, the stark paint, the tired edges beneath it, the kindness he kept pretending was part of some elaborate evil scheme. āThank you,ā you said again, because nothing else felt big enough and everything else felt too big.
Danhausenās expression softened into something almost shy before he covered it with a sniff and a dignified lift of his chin. āYes, yes. Danhausen is very generous and should be given many monies and possibly another cookie.ā
āYou had three.ā
āEmergency aromatherapy.ā
āYouāre impossible.ā
āAnd yet,ā he said, gesturing toward you with one hand, ābreathing.ā
You looked at him for a second, then laughed, properly this time. It still came out tired, but it did not break halfway through. Danhausenās face brightened at the sound, not dramatically, but enough that you saw it. Enough that your heart squeezed.
The room settled. The panic did not vanish all at once. It lingered at the edges like a storm moving away, still rumbling, still capable of making you flinch. But you were no longer alone inside it. Danhausen stayed beside you, shoulder warm against yours, tapping that slow rhythm whenever your breathing hitched, reminding you without making a fuss. In. Out. Here. Safe. Ugly lamp. Sad chairs. Dead printer. Bad mirror. Vanilla cookies. Cursed candy. A very important weird thing.
Eventually, you let your head tilt sideways until it rested against his shoulder.
The movement was small, but Danhausen went very still beneath it. Not tense exactly. More like a creature in the woods who had just been trusted by a bird. You almost lifted your head again, suddenly afraid you had crossed some invisible line, but then he shifted with immense care, easing his shoulder into a more comfortable angle for you. His hand moved, hovered for a second as if asking a question neither of you said aloud, then settled lightly over your forearm.
His palm was warm.
āIs this okay?ā he asked.
You nodded against his shoulder. āYeah.ā
āGood,ā he whispered. āDanhausen will keep watch.ā
āYou donāt have to.ā
āYes,ā he said simply. āHe does.ā
So you let him. You closed your eyes for one careful second, and this time the darkness did not pull you under. It only made the sounds softer. His breathing moved beside you, slow and deliberate, maybe for your benefit, maybe for his own, maybe both. You matched it without thinking. In. Hold. Out longer. Again. Again. The goblin quieted. The storm dragged itself farther away.
After a while, Danhausen spoke near the top of your head, his voice low enough that it felt meant only for you and the ugly room keeping your secret.
āYou did very good.ā
You huffed weakly. āI sat on the floor and cried.ā
āYes,ā he said, with complete sincerity. āAnd you stayed. Very brave.ā
The words should have been too much. Maybe they were. Your throat tightened, but you did not fight it this time. You turned your face slightly into his shoulder, hiding the fresh sting in your eyes against the fabric there.
Danhausen did not tease you. He did not point it out. He only squeezed your forearm once, gentle and certain.
Outside, the arena continued without you. People packed cables, shouted names, rolled crates, made plans, laughed too loudly. The world stayed bright and noisy and impossibly much. But inside the little storage room with the bad mirror and the dead printer, Danhausen sat beside you like a strange, steady guardian, smelling faintly of vanilla cookies and safety, teaching you how to breathe as if breathing were not something everyone was simply supposed to know.
And when the panic finally loosened its last cruel fingers from your chest, you did not rush to stand. You stayed there a little longer, tucked against his side, letting him keep watch, letting yourself be held by the quiet truth he had offered you without making it grand.
Sometimes being alive was the whole task.
And for now, with Danhausenās hand warm on your arm and his shoulder solid beneath your cheek, you were doing it just fine.

men's wrestling promos are so fucking horny it's hysterical. They will be shirtless, dickprint out, glistening, yelling "I'm going to TOP this man in the RING. I'm going to TAKE his ASS and leave his body QUIVERING. I'm going to FIST this man to a PROSTATE ORGASM" and then the commentators are just like "fighting words from the champ there"
