you have had anxiety since a young age and had done the proper things to try and control it, but sometimes a panic attack cannot be stopped.

you were already over stressed and when you and andrei stepped into the crowded shopping mall, it was even worse.

you could feel your heart rate and breathing speed up. you clutched onto andrei's arm and he knew that something was wrong.

he slipped his hand on your chest and felt your racing heart.

he saw your panicked face which he always hated to see because he didn't want you to worry like you did.

andrei has dealt with your panic attacks before, but he still got a little flustered when they happened because he didn't know if he was approaching them right.

once tears started leaking out of your eyes, andrei pulled you into the nearest bathroom.

"it's okay. i'm here." he consoled in a gentle voice.

andrei always kept a close grip on your when you were having panic attacks. he wanted to keep you close and protect you as much as he possibly could.

"y/n, you're okay my love. i'm right here."

he repeated words like that over and over again until you felt comfortable enough to leave the mall.

once your crying ceased and you calmed a significant amount down, andrei kissed your forehead and turned your body to look into your eyes.

"are you okay?" andrei asked gently and with utmost care in his voice.

you nodded gently and wiped the remaining tears off your face.

"do you want to go home?" andrei asked.

you nodded again, "sorry, i know you wanted to get new shoes."

andrei shook his head quickly, "no no it's okay. we can try again another day. i was going to get us matching shoes."

you couldn't help but smile gently at his little shoe plan that he had.

"i gotta have you there to make sure you like them." he grinned.

you kissed his dimpled cheek gently and hugged him tight.

"you ready to go?" andrei asked.

you nodded and the both of you stepped out of the bathroom hand in hand.

andrei stayed very close to you and kept a gentle, but comforting grip on your hand as you walked out to the car.

andrei drove home to his place and you both sat down on the couch.

"i got you snacks." andrei said excitedly.

you smiled at him as he jogged into the kitchen to grab the snacks and singular rose that he had bought for you today.

"thank you sweetheart. this is really nice." you said quietly and pulled him down to your level to give him a kiss.

he smiled proudly at his gifts for you and sat on the couch next to you.

he picked up your leg and put it over his. he kissed your face gently before leaning his head on your shoulder.

"i love you a whole lot y/n." andrei mumbled.

you hummed in response, "i love you more."
