Shino couldn’t believe it- she couldn’t believe she let the kids little finger gun send her into a full blown panic attack! Just when you two were actually having fun together, she had to go and ruin it all with her stupid fear of guns. Her chest was tight and her eyes were watering uncontrollably, Shino was frozen in fear. She was sure you’d be upset- sure you’d belittle her- but,. You didn’t.

In a matter of seconds, your tight embrace snapped her out of that frozen state. She was shocked, you had wrapped her up in your arms and tucked her head into your shoulder. It may have stopped her from freezing up- but the tears flowed like waterfalls into the fabric of your jacket.

“I-I’m- I’m sorry! I-“ Shino sputters, almost immediately clutching onto you as if you were her life line. But you shushed her and rubbed the back of her head so gently. Shino didn’t know what to do at this point, simply opting to hide away in your arms and sob. As scared as she was- she couldn’t help but feel warm and appreciative inside.
