"A-Ace, I'm scared about p-presenting," Amara admitted, Ace knew that they both had too present in order to get an A, but he just assumed he could speak to the teacher about it, however Amara thought that was unfair and decided to try to do it herself, she imagined Ace as the audience,
"M-mental illness is p-prevalent in society a-as of t-today," she started off with this particular statement, her breathing got more frantic and her eyes grew teary, ace noticed this and beckoned her with his fingers, Amara didn't understand what to do so she stood there crying, she had never felt like more of a baby.
"Come here sweetheart," he said, she quickly walked over to him, her head held low and her eyes prickling with tears, he sat her down on his lap where her fingers immediately went to the rubber band sitting on her wrist, to distract her Ace held her hand and rubbed her knuckles,
"Baby don't do that," he said to her, wishing she would give up hurting herself, he was truly worried about the small girl,
"Why are you crying lovely?" he said, trying to get some answers from her, the truth was that he cared about her more than anyone else, sure he had sexual relations in the pasts, but never a girlfriend, he rejected any girl that suggested the idea of it, he didn't want to be with some girl who would end up fucking some other dude, but Amara was different, he wanted to be tied to Amara in any way shape or form
"I-Im so stupid! I-I can't- I c-cant breathe," she said, her panic slowly growing into an anxiety attack, she had those frequently
and for some strange reason ace knew exactly what to do,
"breathe baby please I know you can do it for me" he tried to coo at her and calm her down
"I-I can't-" she exclaimed, breathless and hyperventilating
"look around the room and tell me three things you can see" he said,
"y-you, m-my hands, m-mr-sniffles," she said whimpering
"okay good that's great, you're such a smart girl, such a good girl," He said trying to provide her with some reassurance and comfort,
"now only three things that you can hear," he said in a gentle voice,
"y-you and m-me," she said
"good girl, now tell me two things that you can touch," he asked her so that she could be distracted,
"m-my hand and y-your hands," she said, finally looking in her eyes
"you're so smart baby, my smart baby,"
