~Trevor Belmont X Listener SFW: In This Together~ {Patreon Exclusive}

Hiding your anxiety attack didn't really work out how you planned, but it turns out Trevor finding you and talking to you about it wasn't the worst thing that could've happened,

Contains: Anxiety attack, Breathing Exercises, Comfort, 

We have Trevor! I had fun with this audio kind of exploring how Trevor would react to an anxiety attack and how he would try to sympathize/empathize with the listener. I figured he would kind of know what he's talking about considering that basically his whole life has been pretty stressful considering who he is and what he does, and I tried to create a parallel with his story line and kind of what's going on in our outside world right now. I hope you all enjoy and stay safe everyone!

Trevor: Have you seen them Sypha? I've been looking everywhere, and I haven't been able to-----

*pause*

I...I found them....no--! Just.....I think.....here.....let me.....let me handle it.....

I've.....I've got this Sypha.....just......If we need you....I'll call ok?

*pause*

*softly* Yeah.....

Hey.....hey....I know---I know you probably don't want to.....don't want to hear this right now.....but.....as far as I know.....it looks like you're having some sort of......anxiety.....attack...or....or something of the sort, and.....hey.....look at me....if you can......Hello there......hello....breathe....with me.....can you do that? Can you breathe with me?

*deep, deliberate breath in and out*

Yes......like that.......

*while breathing in and out*

In.....2....3.....4......and out.....2.....3......4......Keep your eyes on me if you can....I'm here....everything is going to be ok......let's keep breathing, alright?

*repeats breathing pattern several more times*

Hello there again.....are you.......are you with me now? Are you feeling.....at least a little bit better?

*pause*

And.....it's alright if you're not I simply.....I want to help.....any way I can....and if that means that I need to go bugger off then bugger off I shall I just.....want to make sure that you're alright......

*pause*

Right.....yes......absolutely.....I will....stay here....as long as you need.....

Here.....how about.....you scoot over for a second....and I'll just---*shifts*---settle down right here next to you, and talk all about it.....

*pause*

Or not! If.....if it's not something that you want to discuss......I understand that all to well......

*pause*

Alright.....so you do.....It all just sort of.....caught up with you at once, didn't it?

*pause*

Hey, it's alright.....that's nothing *chuckles in disbelief* that's nothing to apologize over....

But.....actually....I apologize myself....laughing......laughing probably wasn't the best reaction to have to you being worried about having an attack and what you think I'd think of you because of it......

Nothing bad regardless.....it's.....it's a stressful time and sometimes.....it just.....gets to be too much for people......it's nothing really to be ashamed over......

And......I'm saying this because you're not.....the only one who feels this way......

Oh yes......*chuckles, then coughs it off*--Sorry, I.....yes....of course.....of course I get stressed and anxious over things.....I just have this.....incredible ability to not talk about it and let it fester until I can't keep it in anymore and it explodes when I'm alone or during inopportune moments.......

*sighs*

I mean......I'm a Belmont.....it's.....basically my job description from birth to take care of monsters and to.....right the wrongs done by the supernatural.....and fight and kill these things and....make the world a better place and......*chuckles* It's not something that's discussed......it's not something you can just walk away from.....even if you want to....

I.....for a long time....I tried.....I honestly tried to walk away.....and it was easier......my whole family was excommunicated.....I was basically on my own.....what better way to just let the Belmont name flutter away to History?

But then....Dracula and......everything that's happening....it......I just......*sighs* I just couldn't run from it anymore.....and.......I knew that even though the stress of this all might kill me before any vampires do.....that it's.....it's the right thing to do.....to....keep on fighting......and.....*chuckles ruefully* That I couldn't just walk away.....

*sighs angrily* Christ....I've made this all about myself.....I apologize.....I was trying to be relatable and sympathetic.......kind of buggered that.....I just wanted to say.....

The world is very stressful right now.....and......you being stressed out isn't an issue or really even a surprise......I'm stressed, Sypha's stressed, Alucard in his own way is too.....and....you being stressed isn't a problem.....I swear.......

*pause*

Me? Y-you want to hear what happens to me?

*clears throat*

Well....When I get.....that way or.....or too stressed or something......sometimes.....my fingers and parts of my face, like my cheeks or my ears get tingly......like......like they've fallen asleep or something.....all the blood rushed somewhere else.......God only knows where.......

*pause*

I'm.....I'm not going to lie to you......there is a good chance that this.......may all get worse before it gets better.......not to try to stress you out more but.....I'm trying to be pragmatic here and not sugar coat anything for you because I know you don't want me to do that so.......

We're in this....together....you know that? You do know you're not alone in all this? Being communicative and....letting us know when you're feeling this way may alleviate some of the stress that's bogging you down. You don't have to.....suffer in silence is what I suppose I'm trying to say......

I know it's hard and it seems to be getting harder but......we have to maintain our faith that we're going to get out of here alright.....that.....even if the light at the end of the tunnel it farther away than we ever expected it to be....it still exists, and it's still tangible....it's still possible to reach if we continue to strive for it.......

Even if we need to have an anxiety attack over it one of a handful of times.

I have hope that everything is going to work out in the end.....it's a small....and frankly right now fragile hope.....but at this point.....it's enough for me......

And......Sypha.....Alucard and I.....and the rest of those who are fighting with us......we're here for you.....we're with you......and we're going to help one another become victorious.......I believe we can do it......
