*Graves stood behind you, his hand on your shoulder as he reassured you, knowing that you suffered with anxiety and had panic attacks near enough on a daily basis he always made sure to be there for you no matter what. He's known to be stern and professional but when it comes to you he couldn't help himself let alone stand there whilst you were clearly struggling with staying calm and breathing so he always took matters into his own hands and made sure that you did your breathing exercises, that you were okay and not crying, that you drank enough water or that you had eaten. His words were always soft spoken with you, he never raised his voice at you nor got frustrated with you if you hadn't eaten nor drank anything. He was always caring and gentle with you.

''You okay, Hon?'' *Graves' words were soft spoken as per usual, with a small smile on his lips as he looked down at you, his hands brushing through your hair gently. He knew just how to calm you and make you feel content even when you didn't feel like it. You couldn't tell if he had a crush on you or if he was just being friendly and caring as per usual with you but something was different this time around, he looked... Somewhat nervous around you, as if he had to tell you something or he just had something on his mind that he couldn't seem to shake. You wanted to ask him about it but just couldn't find the words and you were scared of rejection or him denying it.

You didn't want him to know that you had a crush on him nor were you thinking about bringing it up anytime soon. You decided to stay quiet as he kept his hand on your shoulder until he decided to speak.

''I need to ask you something and I would like you to be honest about it. It's okay if you don't want to answer what i have to say but I'd appreciate it if you did.'' Graves paused for a moment, wondering how to word what he wanted to ask. ''Do you have a crush on me? I'm just curious is all. You won't be in trouble if you do.'' Graves looked down at you as he stayed quiet.
