Okay but how would Mike handle his own panic attacks? Bonus points for Diana in there
Whaddaya mean bonus points – she HAS to be in there, lmao. Though bonus point for you on sending this one, Sinatra mike.
I headcanon that he isn’t likely prone to panic attacks when it comes to performances, public and/or private. I mean, boy, he’s all PIZZAZZ and SHOWMANSHIP. He probably performs to release more stress than gain it.
But with his situations with his debts piling up, that’s when it hits. Now that the Russian bears after him, he’s only maintaining his cool for the sake of public image and his girl. Alone however…
1. Though it would be hard to sing through his shaky breathing, he’ll try. Even if its just plain gibberish or the basic “do re mi so fa…”, it doesn’t matter, as long as he can let his voice do something. Doesn’t usually work but its almost always his go-to first.
2. Whip out some of his favourite tunes and play it LOUD, either he plugs in his earphones or uses his own or Diana’s stereo to do it. When it’s without earphones, Diana knows that something’s happened and basically is SUMMONED by his side. Mike doesn’t like to play loud music unless he’s the one physically doing it.
3. He absolutely HATES having these attacks when Diana’s around, and gets a bit more shaken up by her comfort -- but after a few minutes of embrace he melts into her.
