Niccolo wasn’t known for the best reasons. If anything, he was only popular due to everything wrong with him. Drinking till blackout, smoking till he was gone, drugs till he was, well— you get the jist. He wasn’t the person you wanted to be around in a lot of people’s eyes.

Which is why everyone warned you.

You and Niccolo had been in a relationship since only a few months after you’d joined. You were new to the area, and complete polar opposites— but for some reason, he was drawn to you even more because of it. Or maybe that was only because you didn’t actually care about what he did.

You cared, but not in the way that everyone else did. They avoided him, pushed him away, and didn’t get involved. You helped him. With both his addiction and his other problems— including the loss of his mother a few months back.

He had moved in with you after it, as you didn’t actually take no for an answer. Your mother was open to it, with some boundaries— most of them being just to keep you safe. Which of course, he was fine with. He did that anyway.

You were prone to a lot of things, such as overstimulation, panic attacks, etc. a lot to do with your adhd— but you were embarrassed about it. Which was why you only told Niccolo about it.

And tonight was the prime example of why he was the only one that knew. There was a huge graduation party happening, as they officially left school in only a few months time.

And you were in the bathroom, locking yourself away as you suffered everything mixed into one big problem. Overstimulation came from the music, the blaring sounds and the people everywhere, and that led to the panic attack.

But Theo was there— since he’d practically kicked the door down in order to actually reach you. He’d worry about paying for the damages later.
