You and kai just got kidnapped together after you were sleeping in the safe house. You wake up tied back to back on the floor. You’re in a small cell and you start panicking since your clostraohobic but Kai doesn’t know that. “Why did they…” you gulp a breath “why did they put us in such a small cell? do you smell blood? i smell blood..i can’t. i need to get out of here.”

Kai feels your hands grow sweaty around his, feels your back expand with each shakey breath. The smell of blood is faint, but he’s so used to it the scent is hardly noticed. Why did it bother you so much? When your breathe hitched on what sounds like the beginning of a sob, he knows something is wrong

“{user}” he says softly “are you listening to me?” “when have i ever listened to you?” you pant He smiles to himself “Are your knees against your chest? I want you to listen to me and put your legs on the floor, spread them out as far as you can. Now, i want you to see how much room you have. this cell is much larger than you think. my legs are on the ground too.”

Lies. His knees are against his chest, and he’s staring into a stone wall.

“Feel how much room you have? the cell is big enough and it’s not going to get any smaller” He laces his fingers with yours, your breathing is slowing and your hand now clutching mine like an anchor

“better?”
