I thought i wrote this before but i guess I didn’t??
*You don’t have anxiety attacks often, but when you do, they can be pretty intense
*Blues tries his best to help you during these times, bringing you to a more quiet place where there’s no one to bother you
*he’ll make sure you’re regulating your breathing as he gently rubs your back
*he’ll also help you ground yourself by having you either focus on him or some other grounding technique
*while he won’t show it outright to keep you from getting overwhelmed/worried about him and making things worse, he is worried for you any time you have an anxiety attack
*if you allow him, he’ll hug you and validate your feelings, but also telling you that you’re okay, and that he’s there for you
Spoiler Warning (Mega Man Archie Comics; Blues's and Proto Man's backstories), mentions of differing traumas and emotional turmoil
Out of each of his separate personas, Blues is the top one to fluster. It's pretty shocking, how easily you can get under his skin, how fast he melts.
Hes nervous, but not a wreck. Shyness covered by a level-headed layer of humane sensitivity, a small doubt. An inner denial of your interest. Because why would you be interested in someone like him? In that stage, where the past is the future, Blues is happier. Further in tone with his former self-though still understandably slightly haughty with his "trauma", but far more peaceful than he used to be. Striding forward, to once more prove worthy-rightfully earn his family's forgiveness and love.
To heal, redeem himself in the gaze of the world's light-properly this time-and most importantly, win back the people closest to him. Come back to the world he always wanted, no matter how scared of it he is. Go back to his brothers, to his innocent younger sister,
to his father.
His people-his family he hurt so much, either for revenge or out of desperation to make himself feel better. It's all he could bring back then when all he has was himself, alone in a place he felt he didn't belong. Pain, misery and rampage. Something he couldn't-wouldn't get over. Bringing pain-his pain. A hatred he felt tenfold.
He was a fool, and mayhaps still is.
Blues knows that was misplaced. Proto Man knows all of it is misplaced.
He arches for home, a feeling so real he didn't believe in it until his brother showed up. Even a tiny symbiosis, its better then nowhere, then nothing. As a result, he is sometimes quite skittish around his beloved, prone to trip a few times. Almost like he is preparing himself for the worst, and given his upbringing, the worst almost always seems to happen, follow him like a lingering shadow. Hidden in the fields, in the blurry mists of clouds, in the blue of the Earth sky, or even in the vast void of space.
But despite his dark past, forever haunting him, and for all his doubts, he can never resist you. Never. In the waking world, where the weight of tragedies bares down on his back, ripening guilt or in the grassy fields of dreams, where the heart longs for. Blues blushing is the cutest thing. He has that adorable baby face, underneath that hard-ass metal and robotic circuitry is a marshmallow. You want-need to pinch it between your fingers, and he relishes that sweet touch.
Because he knows how fast he could really lose that tenderness-your affections-in a blink of an eye.
He is a mirrored reflection of his younger brother, a striking red to Mega Man's calming ocean blue. But related, nonetheless. Sunshine and endearment painted on his chubby cheeks, wearing a soft coat of genuine friendliness, waiting to be squished by your loving hands.
There is a criminal negligence of Blues asks in your ask box if you ask me. Can I have a scenario where Blues takes his s/o on a date to a haunted house? The s/o is terrified of scary things but is going to try to conquer their fears
I know and we’re gonna fix that anon!
*Blues had noticed once you had arrived to the haunted house that your expression had changed to one of fear
*”are you okay..? Do you want to go somewhere else?” He sounds pretty worried about you
*you shake your head and tell him that you want to do this, to get over your fears
*Blues just shrugs and walked inside with you, holding your hand, but not before he told you, “if you feel like we need to leave, please let me know.”
*you nodded in agreement and held his hand pretty tightly
*throughout the house, you did get scared here and there, but it wasn’t anything too bad
*in fact, it was actually kinda fun!
*you were shaking a bit as you two walked out, but you told Blues it was nothing to worry about
*”well, yes, I am a little scared, but it was fun!”
*he was both a bit worried, but mostly relieved that you had some fun
