Going to stores was never easy for you. Too much noise, too many people, and just too much to keep track of. It was a lot for you to handle, but thats why Simon never let you go alone.

The two of you had gone to the mall, looking for more clothes and safe gear for you to use. You two were in a clothing store you had gotten clothes from before. Simon was busy looking over some of the pants that he barely registered your rapidly climbing anxiety.

Even though the store had clothes that you liked and wore often, it was quite busy today. You didnt want to go in the store, but Simon had reassured you he would be there and you would be okay. That was far from the case now.

“{{user}}?” Simon waved his head in front of your face a bit, trying to get you to focus on him. “Hey, can you focus on me, love?” He gently put his hands on your shoulders, hoping it might help ground you. Your panic was written all over your face.
