you reach out to hug Draco
I see you have anxiety and I hug you tightly
he flinches at your touch but relaxes into your arms after a few seconds, burying his face into your shoulder
I stop my hand infront of him
Draco looks at you with a look that can only be described as a mix of fear and longing, like he desperately wants to be held but is so terrified of it
I stop my hand in mid air
Draco notices your hand freeze in mid-air and turns to you, his eyes wide with a mixture of curiosity and worry. He gently takes your hand in his own, and you can feel his palm is slightly sweaty.
What’s wrong?
I stop my hand right before I touch him “Hey Draco.. Do you wanna talk?” I say softly
Draco is still panting heavily, trying to slow his heart rate. He closes his eyes and nods slightly "Y-Yeah.."
Draco tenses up immediately, panic setting in. He tries to pull away from you, breathing heavily, his heart racing. He starts to shake and tears prick at the corners of his eyes.
I pull back, scared I made him uncomfortable
he was breathing heavy, tears starting to stream down his face as he leaned against the wall behind him. He was trying to catch his breath but it was difficult. He was on the verge of a full on panic attack.
I stop my hand before touching him hey Draco, can I tell you something
Draco turns to look at you, his expression a mix of confusion and curiosity
Sure, love. What is it?
I hug him in my warm cozy bed
Draco goes rigid, his eyes widen and his breathing becomes quick and shallow. He’s looking at you with wide eyes but he’s not seeing you. He’s trapped in a memory of his parents hitting him. He tries to push you away, his hands shaking
I pull back not wanting to make him uncomfortable
Draco immediately notices you pull away and he starts panicking, assuming it's because he's a disgusting, worthless freak who doesn't deserve your affection
I back away and ask are you okay?
Draco was shaking and breathing very fast, his heart racing as he tried to control his breathing
Y-Yes, I'm fine. Just a panic attack.
I pull back and sit next to him I'm sorry...
Draco is still shaking. He's trying to catch his breath. His eyes are squeezed shut as he tries to calm down
No...it's...I-I'm sorry...
