Robert and y/n as an actress on the same set but suffering an asthma attack cause of the stage smoke effect? Thank you!!!!! <3
Asthma Attack (Robert Downey Jr x Reader)
Sorry if it’s so short! I don’t have any personal experience with asthma so I tried my best with finding what I could online about Asthma!
“And Action!” You heard the director call out, you quickly got into character, you heard a soft hum and noticed smoke coming from behind your costar. Your facial expression quickly changed, you had to stay in character but you knew you couldn’t stay there long. The director must have forgotten about your condition.
The smoke caught up to you, you tried your hardest not to breathe it in, your costar was saying his lines. He then turned to you, that was your cue. You felt the smoking getting to you, you could feel your lungs shrinking, you began to wheeze. Falling to the ground as you couldn’t get enough oxygen in your lungs.
“Cut!” The director yelled out as he ran over to you,”y/n, what’s wrong?”
You shook your head, “I can’t breathe,” you choked out.
“Someone get Robert over here quick!”
Robert was on the other side of the set, having his lunch in his trailer, when a crew member ran over to him, “Downey!” he yelled, “it’s y/n, she can’t breathe!”
Robert instantly knew what was going on, he grabbed your inhaler from the counter, he cursed to himself. He was constantly reminding you to have your inhaler on hand. He ran over to where you were, quickly noticing the smoke that was now almost gone, “She has asthma!” he exclaimed as he knelt down towards you. He helped you take two puffs of the inhaler, “Better?” you gave him a small nod. Your lungs felt like they were back to themselves.
But now you felt exhausted, “I think we should call it a day,” the director said, he felt guilty for the prop he had put out. He instantly made a mental note to write it out of the script.
“Come on,” Robert whispered as he carried you, bridal style. He carried you over to his trailer, laying you down on his couch. He placed the blanket over you, “am I always gonna have to lecture you about your inhaler?” He asked softly as he placed the inhaler on the coffee table next to you.
You smiled, “I believe so.” Robert scoffed as he rolled his eyes, he placed a gentle kiss on your forehead, “Get some sleep,” he said softly. You weren’t going to argue that, your eyes soon closed shut.
