Zhongli

Talks to you during your panic attack, his deep voice low and comforting, giving you a distraction from your trigger
As you feel the wave of emotions and panic begin to slowly flow out of your veins, you begin to unfurl yourself from the fetal position you had scrunched into
You’re dizzy and exhausted, but only after you start to calm down do you realize that Zhongli had carried you to your bed
He sits beside you, close enough so he can watch over you but giving you space if you need it
Upon seeing you start to unfurl, he immediately asks what he can do to help you
His heart hurts seeing you in pain, of course, but when you whisper that you just want him he can’t help but feel a little happy
Runs his hands from the top of your head to your neck, down your back and up to your head again to increase blood flow
As he does, he tries to distract you
Zhongli isn’t much of a jokester—he’s more of a storyteller than a standup comedian, but he wants to make you laugh
Tells you moments he found funny at work. They’re not always, but you appreciate the effort

“…and then he reminded him he was literally the one who shared the memory. Ah, not funny, dearest? Let me think of another.”

Diluc

Protectively cradles your body against his. You’ll naturally rest your chin on his shoulder, closing your eyes as you feel his warmth seeping into your numb, tingling body.
Runs his hand up and down your back, occasionally squeezing you closer to him
Neither of you say anything, but no words are needed in this moment
All that mattered is that you’re fine, you’re safe in your lover’s arms. You’re a little lightheaded, but the feeling of his body against you helps with grounding
It’s so comfortable, you find your eyes growing heavy
The panic attack took a lot of energy from you, and Diluc feels like a soothing and warm heater
He notices you’re leaning against him more as you grow more sleepy, and he lets you know it’s okay to fall asleep
Carries you to bed, pulling the covers to your chin before tenderly kissing your forehead

“Sleep, love. Everything will be alright in the morning.”

Kaeya

Holds you close in his lap as he whispers sweet nothings in your ear
Murmurs little praises, telling you you’re beautiful, you’re brave, you’re strong, and that you’ll get through this, I promise.
Lifts your chin so that your eyes meet his. His soft smile is reminiscent of the dapples of sunlight that pierce through clouds on dreary days
Thumbs the tears at the corners of your eyes as he coos about how proud he is of you, how blessed he feels to be able to call you his significant other
Tucks your hair back or behind your ears so they don’t stick to your face
Kisses your eyelids, the brush of his lips against your skin like butterfly wings
Does breathing exercises with you. Even though you can feel him breathing because of how close he is to you, Kaeya makes sure to breathe extra deeply so you can follow his lead

“Deep breaths, now. That’s it, you got it, sweetheart.”

Childe

Pulls you into his arms, hand on the back of your head and smoothing your hair
You snuggle into his shoulder, your hands gripping his shirt tightly
He smells vaguely like the sea, with a faint hint of sweetness
Most importantly, he smells like home
Tries to gently pry your fingers off so he can get up and go get you a glass of water, but you only grip his shirt tighter
Not wanting to let you go but knowing you need to replenish your fluids, he slides his arm under you, picking you up and carrying you to the kitchen with him
Ajax only needs one hand to pour you a glass of water; the other arm is holding you
~~He’s strong don’t worry about him <3~~
Sits you by the kitchen table, holding the cup for you and making sure you drink the entire thing
Rubs your shoulders as you take slow sips

“Do you want another glass, baby? Wait a sec, I’ll pour you another.”

Thoma

Upon learning about your panic disorder, he immediately prepares a care package or kit for you with every you may need, just in case
Has a big box with water bottles, meds, blankets, your favourite snacks, and surprisingly, a large dog plushie
When you point it out and ask what it’s for, he laughs, saying this is the part of the kit he was most excited for
If your arms are numb, he’ll delicately lift them up for you and tuck the dog plushie under your arms so you’re hugging it
When you bury your nose into the fluff, you can smell his scent faintly on the plushie
A little sheepish as he apologizes, saying he thought you would like it if it smelt like him, but after thinking about it he should have sprayed it with a more calming scent like lavender
You shake your head, telling him you really liked it.
Later, he’ll ask you what upset you, if there was a clear trigger. He’ll ask if there’s anything he can do to prevent it and how to better take care of you next time
But right now, all that mattered was making his lover as comfortable as possible

“Want another pillow? Promise I didn’t steal this one before!”
