Sorry for the late night update. Also trigger warning, panic attack.

<Anxiety's POV>

Great, I'm doing it again. I think to myself.

'Doing what?' you might ask, why, only what I do best of course! I'm over thinking, and over thinking leads to negative thoughts, and negative thoughts lead to an attack.

Calm down. You can handle this. Just breath.

...

SHIT IT'S NOT WORKING!

I curl into a ball on my bed as I get even more lost in my thoughts. My vision gets hazy and the world goes mute around me, the only sound being white noise and static. I don't even notice when the first tear slips but next thing you know, I'm balling my eyes out. I can barely see through the tears.

God damn it... Okay, keep it together Virgil, you can handle this...

I can't handle it.

<Prince's POV>

I'm walking down the hall, on my way to practice sword fighting, when I hear a weird sound. I stop and listen for a while before realizing that the sound I am hearing is a series of soft sobs and sniffles.

Immediately concerned, I follow the sound until I reach a door.

Anxiety's room...

I knock on the door, "Anxiety, are you alright?" I call. No response. I don't even think he heard me.

I knock again, "Anxiety?". Once again, nothing.

I try one more time, "Virgil?". Silence. Worry overwhelms me and I try to open the door. To my surprise, it's unlocked.

I open the door and am shocked by the sight before me; Virgil is laying in a ball on his bed and crying into a pillow.

I rush to his side and try to comfort him. I whisper calming words to him, rub gentil circles on his back, and run my fingers through his hair. He leans into my touch, and clings to me as if his life depends on it. I do my best to calm him down and eventually he does. Once he's no longer freaking out, he passes out from exhaustion.

I try to get up but he has a tight grip on my shirt and there's no way I could get free without waking him. I lay back down, since he probably needs the sleep, and he cuddles even closer to me.

Why did I come help him? It's because I'm a prince! I couldn't just ignore someone who's clearly in distress... Right?
