Oh no! I hadn't realised I'd missed a week! I dedicate this one shot to the crappy panic attack I just had.

I do not own Megamind or any of its characters.

~Panic Attack~

Wayne sat quietly on his couch, his eyes closed and his face stiff. His breathing was calm... encouraging...and he rocked his body forward and back with the shaking bundle in his arms.

Syx's body trembled with fear. His arms were numb and he felt as though they'd taken on a mind of their own while they lay still against his legs. His toes curled inside of his boots, the tight confinement tugging at his nails. His body shivered and sweated, his heartbeat working steadily before attacking his ribcage with bone breaking force. The blood in his veins flowed like syrup, leaving him lethargic though the panic kept him alert. His lungs filled only halfway before the air was released and they were forced to take in another and another in a seemingly endless cycle.

His vision was clear, but his brain refused to fully register the actions taking place. He'd hardly felt it when his lover swept him up, plopped down onto the couch, and cradled him in his lap. He stuffed his face in the crook of his neck desperately, his quick outtakes of breath leaving the flesh moist.

Wayne titled his head toward him, lightly nuzzling his cheek. One hand rested on his hip while the other stretched across his back to his far shoulder. Occasionally, the smaller alien would tense his body in sudden jolts, fisting his shirt and letting out airy, almost inaudible sobs against his skin.

Opening his eyes, Wayne looked at his watch. These incidents usually didn't last more than 30 minutes at a time, but as time hit the 60 minute mark he began to loose his calm demeanor. He also knew that, even in his addled state, Syx was aware of the change in interval, which succeeded in making him more agitated. With another bout of helpless whimpers and pleading gestures, Wayne rocked them harder. He brought his hand away from Syx's shoulder to cup the back of his neck, dragging his nails comfortingly across his skin.

"Hey, you're okay..." he spoke softly.

"Everything's gonna be okay..."
