Who wants to role play?

He wasn't anywhere near dying, in fact his pulse was a bit quicker than it should've been.

It's not like Shadow realized. He had just assumed that as it was so random and he was super worried.

In fact what had actually happened was that Arthur's brain had shut down in fear. Now what was Shadow gonna do about it?

Shadow was so confused. He wanted to help but had no idea how to.

Arthur lay peacefully, not about to wake up anytime soon.

Shadow hoped Arthur would be okay.

Arthur stayed that way for hours, before finally beginning to stirr.

Shadow waited.

Artbur came to slowly, his eyes filled with confusion when he opened them.

"Hey," Shadow said. "Are you okay?"

Arthur started, fear appearing in his green eyes as he quickly pulled away.

"Seriously, are you okay?" Shadow asked.

Arthur closed his eyes, pulling his knees up to his chest as he tried to calm down again.

"I don't know what that means in relation to my question," Shadow said.

Arthur was still trembling, trying to calm down. Does it LOOK like I'm OKAY?! he thought, unable to speak to answer.

Shadow sighed. "I'm guessing not, though. I'm not leaving until everything's okay."

Arthur shook his head, I just need you to leave…. I'm not gonna be okay….ever….. Okay is just not something I'll ever be….

"You know I care about you, right?" Shadow asked. "Everything will end up fine!"

Arthur shook his head, still trembling.

"Even if you think everything won't be okay, I do care about you!" Shadow said.

Arthur shook his head again, tears starting to flow.

Shadow hugged him. "Hey, stop crying. I'm here to help."

Arthur couldn't stop, he was tired, scared, and overwhelmed.

"Please, I don't want to see you like this!" Shadow said.

Arthur whimpered,burying his face in Shadow's shirt. He was trying to calm down but nothing was working.

Shadow tried to comfort him.

Arthur was hyperventilating by now, emotions colliding so fast that he couldn't process it.

Shadow was still trying to comfort him.

It was a long time before Arthur finally calmed down, falling asleep in Shadow's arms.

Shadow smiled slightly.
