Spinel with her s/o who has anxiety
(POSSIBLY TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️)
You backed up into the corner. You had no where to run. You couldn't process anything. Your chest felt like it was sinking in on itself. You can’t breathe. Spinel stands a foot away from you, worry in her eyes. She hated seeing her precious babydoll in this state, I did no good of either of you. “Stop! Don't get closer."
Your world felt jumbled up and panicky. “Ok, it's alright sweetheart.” She said softly. She kneels down on the ground. You were whimpering and your breathing picked up on speed. Your body trembled as fear coarsed through you. "Sweetheart. Sweetie. Hey, easy baby." Spinel said trying to distract you from your sinking thoughts and fear. You look at her, eyes wide in fear. Your lips trembling as if trying to form words. You start to cry. "I'm gonna come closer ok?" She asks gently. You don't respond. You only close your eyes and turn your head to the side.
You feel cornered and spinel knows it. "Baby, hey, it's ok." She tries to calm you down. She slowly gets closer, until she is right in front of you. You continue to sob and shake uncontrollably. She places a gentle hand on the side of your face. You flinch violently and snap your head up again. Spinel pulls her hand away a bit but is still close. "Don't hurt me." You cried.
Spinel can almost feel the panic radiating off of your trembling form. She tries to calm you down by calling out to you in your pet names. It seems to be working. You look at her hand, then look at her for a moment. You cautiously lean into her hand. The familiar texture of her gloved hand makes you feel a bit better. You cry. She engulfs you in a hug. Your sobs grow louder and your body shakes and trembles.
"I got ya, I got ya.” She whispers softly. Spinel picks you up and carries you to your bedroom. She leans against the headboard and holds you close. "Just breathe sweetheart. It's ok, just breathe." She says, petting your hair. You try to regain your breathing while she whispers sweet nothings to you. “Easy, easy doll. Everything’s alright. Relax sweet pea, relax." She quietly shushes, you gripping onto her shirt. She began to rock you side to side. "Shhh, babydoll.” She said nuzzling into the crown of your hair. You began to hiccup as your sobs slowly began to stop.
"There ya go, good girl. It's ok, it's ok." Spinel whispers. You curl up against her while she traces patterns on your back, continuing to rock you. Your breathing began to pace itself and the tightening in your chest ceased. Spinel wiped your remaining tears away. "Hey, dolly, can ya tell me what triggered the attack?" She gently asks. "I..I don't know. I just randomly got this suffocating feeling and I got scared.” You said.
“Thats alright now. I'm here. Why don't we watch some TV?" She asks. You nod. “I'll be back. I'm gonna get us somethin' from the kitchen, I’ll be back, I’ll keep the door open so you could hear what I’m doin’, okay?” She says and quickly unwraps her arms from around you and heads to the kitchen. Even though she calmed you down, you were scared that another one might come back randomly. You had gotten them in the past with her every once in a while. You closed your eyes and ended up falling asleep.
You woke up all wrapped up in spinel arms, her lips on your cheek. “I’m sorry baby, did I wake ya up?” She asks, quickly retracting her lips form your face.
“No, you didn’t.” You said groggily. You yawned and nuzzled into her neck. Spinel giggled, finding you adorable all sleepy like that.
“Did ya have a nice nap?” She asks, smiling. You lazily nod your head. “Ya want ta’ go back to sleep, darlin’?” She asked.
Spinel brings you closer to her, moving you to lay on her stomach. You nod your head again.
“Alright sweet stuff, we can both go ta’ sleep,” she kissed the top of your head.
“G’night toots,” she pulls the blanket over you.
“Sweet dreams, I love ya.” She nuzzles her cheek to the top of your head, lulling you to sleep.
