i am whole when i'm with you
cw: disordered eating is implied, nothing graphic. just general anxiety around food. lots of comfort. also small sh mention, just one piece of dialogue.
summary: you have anxiety, and you go to your brothers for comfort.
an: hiiii this is like.. incredibly personal and probably niche. i have emetophobia and arfid so this is usually how my anxiety shows itself. let me know if you like this! i've been writing self-indulgent stuff lately so.. just wanna be sure you guys are down for this. okay mwah
my stomach hurts. i'm hungry. i don't want to eat. i get up to get help.
i feel dizzy as i go down the stairs. i keep walking until i hear dean's voice. "hey, you okay?"
i don't feel like talking right now. at all. i shake my head and mumble "anxious." i find my way to the couch and sit next to my oldest brother. i curl up into his side. i wish i could stay here forever.
he rubs up and down my arm. "how come?" he knows me well. he knows talking about it helps.
but, i still don't want to talk. i think he can tell, but i need to communicate what's going on.
"my stomach hurts n' i forgot to eat. now i'm nervous." i take a deep breath to calm my nerves. "i was gonna cut." dean hugs me into his side more.
"i can have sam get your water bottle and a snack. how's that sound?" i hear sam walk across the room. (i truthfully didn't even know he was here; i can't think clearly right now.) i nod. they both know exactly what i need at that moment.
i can feel the tears form in my eyes. it's been almost three years. why do i still flip out over something as small as a stomach ache? i am so fucking tired. i wish i could turn off my brain for a while and stay here with dean.
dean is like, a mind reader, (or he heard me sniffle, not sure which) and he knew i was about to cry.
"'m so tired." my voice is raspy. dean kisses my forehead. "i know baby, i know." he sighs and continues rubbing my arm. "me and sammy got you. we always will." he rests his chin atop my head.
and i'm a crybaby because that makes me cry more. i love them so much.
sam is also very quiet. i didn't hear him come downstairs, but when i took my head out of dean's chest, i see my safe food and my water bottle on the coffee table. dean presses my favorite stuffed animal into my arms. (his name is theodore) i take theodore and put my nose to his head. i love how he smells.
"wanna watch pokemon?" dean says this so quietly, like i'm a sleeping baby.
"yes please."
"we got you baby." sam says. he sits on my other side. i feel so safe.
eventually, i eat my snack and drink some water. i took my night time medicine, and i am 100% prepared to fall asleep right here. anxiety is so tiring.
i don't know if sam is awake, or dean, but i mutter a "thank you." to both of them. i'm not the best at showing my appreciation; they know that. but they also know i love them more than anything.
