(Winter’s small protests fall on deaf ears though, as LQ quickly succumbs to his own gripping panic- hunching over, his breath comes loud and rapidly through his mouth, his heart all but jumping out of his chest at this point.·
He switches to gripping his shoulders painfully, bringing his arms tight across his chest as a small attempt at self-control, even as it spiraled out from under him… the nausea that had him earlier threatened to reclaim him again, and it was a small miracle that his knees didn’t give out on him like the rest of him seemed to do.
He wheezes, trying to catch his breath and mumbling through it as well…)
C-c-c-can’t, h-h-hahhhh, c-can’t h-h-h-have , h-h-hahh, v-v-v-visssit-t-tors h-hh-here…… c-c-can’t h-h-have….. c-can’t h-h-have v-v-v-vi….. a-aaaahhh….. aaaaahhhhhggghhh……. ·
/Winter grimaced as LQ hunched over and began to shake violently, the man sounding like he was trying to breathe through a straw. A panic attack... again?/
/Winter covered his mouth and quickly paced back and forth a few steps around LQ, trying to get his emotions in check and words back together - words that wouldn’t send LQ into even worse tremors. He... really wasn’t good at this, was he? Good at helping others, at least. Even when he thought he was doing his best it always only seemed to do more harm... the thought sent a shark spike of ice through Winter’s heart./
/But even through the initial icy anger and frustration at LQ’s sensitivity, Winter knew - LQ couldn’t help it. It wasn’t his fault he’s like this. Winter knew LQ was already pushing himself to his limits with himself being there - so Winter swallowed his pride and his frustration. It would do no good here./
“No - no LQ, you didn’t - you didn’t let me finish. I promise you no body else set a foot in this place but me. Yes, I had people deliver the supplies, but they left the boxes outside for me to carry in. This isn’t my house - I didn’t invite anyone inside.”
/Winter spoke softly, squeezing the words through his tight throat. Even though he did his best to push his emotions aside - he was still upset that he upset LQ again./
“No visitors - okay? No visitors. I promise.”
