hi!! i see requests are open again, could i possibly request cg!seunghan helping his little calm down from an ADHD angry meltdown if that’s ok? :)
a/n: hello anon! i do not have adhd myself (as far as i know) but my sister does and im going to base this off of her angry meltdowns. of course, these angry outbursts look different from person to person, but please enjoy this one!!
If Caregiver!Seunghan had nobody else in his corner, he knew he’d always have you. You were the apple of his eye, the absolute gem of his heart. You could do no wrong in his eyes. You were Seunghan’s baby, his little one through thick and thin…
…but gosh, your outbursts could be exhausting at times.
All he’d asked you to do was clean your room. Usually, you don’t have that reaction to cleaning up, but today it was the way Seunghan had reminded you to “stay on task”. It was his tone. It felt condescending and that upset you.
He said the same thing earlier when you were finishing an assignment, before you regressed. And when you needed to be reminded to brush your teeth. And he said something close to it after you regressed and started paying attention to the TV instead of eating your lunch.
And even though he said it so gently, you got upset because it wasn’t that easy. You get distracted sometimes, that’s not your fault! What would he even know?!
Seunghan pushed back his hair and huffed, leaning on your doorframe. “Just… just calm down, bubble. Please? It’s not a big deal, I know you can do it.” He tries, but you look furious, tossing around clothes and throwing them at the closet, not in it.
“Stop it! I can’t! You don’…” You sniffled through tears, trying to get the right words out. Your chest felt tight and you could barely breathe, holding back angry words that didn't suit a little at all.
You didn’t even know why you were angry in the first place, just that Seunghan reminding you to focus had annoyed you because what does he know? You’re trying your best! Doesn’t he see that?
“I believe in you, love. Do you need help?” He asks softly, bunny teeth curling up into a kind smile.
But you didn’t want his help right now! You wanted him to leave you alone!
“I’m tryin’!” You threw your hands in the air, hitting your elbow against the dresser drawer and making it shake violently.
You look up in surprise and Seunghan leaps from the door to cover you so that the dresser doesn’t fall and hurt you, but he can’t stop the Lego set that comes crashing down onto the floor. It shatters into almost a hundred pieces and both of you are left speechless, staring at it helplessly.
“Hannie…” You looked at the Lego set with wide eyes, starting to tear up at the sight of the pieces scattered. Seunghan knelt down quickly and held you close to his chest, trying to quiet you down before you got worked up enough to start sobbing.
“Oh! It’s okay! It’s alright, love.” Seunghan starts to panic. “Don’t cry, bubble.”
You sniffle, pulling at your sleeves in frustration. “Is even more of a mess! Is a mess!” You grumble, wiping away your tears rapidly.
Seunghan is quiet as he looks around your still-messy room. “You know the fun of breaking things like this? Hm?” He asked softly, stroking your cheek and wiping away your tears. His face was still sweet and smiley, even more now.
“No…” You admitted, feeling the bad feelings wash over you again. What was so good about a meltdown?!
“We get to build it again and spend time together. Isn’t that special, bubble?” Seunghan asks with a bright voice. That makes you perk up a little, a smile tugging at the corners of your lips.
You think for a moment, relieved that Seunghan isn’t upset with you. “Okay.” You nod, getting off of the floor and nodding. “Can Hannie help clean first?”
“Of course, love. And afterwards, we’ll rebuild the Legos.” He followed suit, standing up and placing his hands on his hips. “We’ll take it one step at a time, where should we start?”
