Heisenberg Being Comforted During a Panic Attack.
Heisenberg is normally very confident. Sure, in everything he does. Every step is planned, and he needs control over whatever situation he's in
When he doesn't, then he can begin to panic.
It got a bit worse when you arrived.
While he would never admit it, he's terrified Miranda will take you, or one of his siblings will hurt you.
His world is cutthroat, where only the strong survive. If he or you makes one mistake, you would be dead.
He has to try even harder to keep his plans for rebellion from Miranda and the other lords. Play the part until he was sure he could go against Miranda and keep you safe.
So naturally, he freaked out when Miranda came to the factory without her announcing a visit.
He played his role to near perfection. Showing her the notes she required from some of his projects. He even managed to keep her away from the lower levels.
after she was satisfied, she turned to Heisenberg, "very good Heisenberg, very good. you keep doing my work and staying in your place and you will get to keep everything I gave you."
those eyes, those cold eyes pierced his soul. made him feel small. made him feel that she knew the army that lay under her feet
then she was gone, turning into several birds and flying back to wherever she stayed
As soon as she was out of sight, he fell against the wall clutching his chest. It felt as if a boa constrictor had wrapped around his heart and was trying to squeeze. He was sweating profusely, and his breath coming in short quick breaths.
That's how you found him. "sweetie, are you okay" you said, rushing up to him, trying to make sure he was okay.
"cant breath; chest feels tight."
you connected the dots. "Heisenberg, sit down."
Normally would argue about being ordered around, but he was too deep in this panic-induced state to think.
"Okay, now tell me five different objects you see."
"fucking what?" he said between gasps.
"Just do it. It should help"
"Alright, um, I see a light bulb, a wrench, some papers, you, a chair."
"Good, now tell me four distinct sounds."
" the lightbulb buzzing, my own breathing, a clock ticking, your voice."
He grabbed his cap, then the floor, and lastly, your hand, holding it tight. Already his breathing was going back to normal, and he had stopped clutching his chest.
"Tell me two things you smell."
"machine Oil and your perfume."
"and something you taste."
"Just some sausage I had for breakfast."
he stopped for a moment, doing an internal assessment "better, what the hell did you do."
"it called the 5-4-3-2-1 method," you explained gently, giving his hand a squeeze, "it's used to help someone having a panic attack."
you moved closer, sitting next to him, wrapping your arm around his. "When you worry and panic often, you can have a panic attack. It kinda feels like a heart attack."
"you know a lot about this"
"I used to get them, a lot. A friend of mine showed me the 5-4-3-2-1 method as a way to ground myself. when I saw you, it reminded me of all the panic attacks I used to have"
You to sit in silence for a bit, allowing Heisenberg to catch his breath "if you want to be left alone," you said, beginning to stand up only for him to pull you back.
"don't go," he said, his voice weirdly soft. It sounded so much more fragile than you had ever heard. your normally strong man was a wreck. "please don't go."
So you sat down and wrapped your arms around his chest. he leans into the hug,
"will it happen again," he asks
"Will you be here when it does."
"as long as you want me to be"
