Roman was in the middle of preparing dinner for him and Logan when he suddenly got a phone call, he wiped his hands dry and reached for his phone that rested on the counter. He read the caller ID and smiled when he read his husband's name, he answered the call and pressed the phone to his ear. “Hello?” He answered cheerfully.

The was a hesitant pause before the person on the other line answered. “Hello, is this Roman?” The voice of a female made Roman's heart drop. Where was his husband and why did this woman have his phone? “Yes this is Roman, where is Logan?” He asked icily. “I understand that you are Logan's significant other, I'm a colleague from his work and I'm here to inform you that Logan is not doing so well at the moment.” Her voice was filled with concern.

Roman's breath hitched in his throat. “What happened? Is he okay!? Is he hurt!?” He asked frantically, his heart beating rapidly. “He's unharmed, but something happened, he's huddled in a corner and looks like he's having difficulty breathing. We tried to move him but he won't budge.” The woman explained. Roman immediately knew what was wrong, he knew Logan was feeling ill for a while, he never knew it was that bad until now. “We can try moving him again—” Roman snapped at the thought of people crowding his lover and touching him.

“Do not touch him.” He bit out dangerously, his heart rate didn't slow down. In fact, it might've actually sped up now that he knew his husband was too terrified to move right now. “I'm sorry, just..don't touch him, please. I'll be there as soon as possible.” And with that he ended the call and was off.

When he arrived to the familiar building Logan worked at he hurried inside and was met with a woman. “You must be Roman, I'll show you where he is.” She nodded and hurried off to a large room with Roman quickly following in suit. Once there Roman's blood ran cold at the sight, workers surrounded a corner, one man kneeled down and reached out to something and as a result a harsh cry was given.

“Get away from him!” Roman shouted to the group and walked up to them. “He needs his breathing space, back away.” He demanded. The people did as told while Roman slowly walked up to Logan who was huddled up against the corner, his heart broke. “Hey sweetheart.” He called for him earning a small flinch. “I'm going to come closer to you okay? I won't touch you, it's alright.” He said as softly as he could manage remembering the things Logan explained to him about his smaller panic attacks.

Logan had post traumatic stress disorder, he had a rough childhood and ever since then there are specific things that trigger his attacks. “You're going to be okay love, I promise. You're safe. Everything is okay now.” Roman continued on like that for a few minutes until Logan stopped muttering to himself and just barely lifted his eyes to meet Roman's.

“R-roman? Roman please don't leave me again, please. I don't want you to leave me, I don't want—” Roman shushed him, holding his hands up to show that he wasn't going to do anything. “Hey I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying here right with you. Okay? Logan, I need you to look at me.” Logan obediently raised his head fully and sucked in a shaky breath. “There you go. Can I touch you?” He asked, needing to know if he could hug his lover. Roman didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around Logan when he gave him a nod.

Logan immediately clung to him and buried his face in his shoulder. “I'm sorry, I overreacted.” He stammered shakily, his breathing unsteady. “Hey it's alright, you did nothing wrong, just focus on breathing okay? Can you do that for me honey?” Roman asked as he rubbed his back. Logan nodded and slowly breathed in, he held the breath in for a couple of seconds before he slowly, shakily, exhaled.

“There you go, you're doing great.” Roman assured. “Would you like to leave?” He asked. Logan nodded, feeling ashamed of himself for melting down at work. The last thing he wanted was to be seen as someone who has problems and looked down upon. Roman stood up and pulled him up with him, as they walked past the rest of the workers Logan held his head down feeling embarrassed and self-conscious, he edged closer to Roman who in response wrapped a protective arm around him.

Once the couple was outside Roman turned to face him and cupped his face in his hands. “Does anything hurt?” He asked. Logan shook his head and dropped his gaze. Roman frowned and gently took hold of his chin and lifted it up so that they could once again meet each others gazes. “What happened wasn't your fault, no one will think differently of you. We all have bad days.” He reassured.

“What caused it?” He questioned, Logan shifted his weight before answering. “There was an office party today, everyone was shouting and they had these party poppers. I was so scared, I know I shouldn't have been but I was.” By now he had began trembling. “Am I odd? Is something wrong with me?” He asked. Roman pulled him into a tight embrace. “Nothing is wrong with you. You're perfect and don't let anyone ever tell you that you're not.”

Logan returned the hug and quietly chuckled. “And here I thought I was the composed one.” He mumbled. “You don't always have to be the composed one, we all have a bad day it's completely normal.” Roman pressed a kiss to his cheek and led him to the car, Logan climbed in and Roman followed suit. They stayed there for a while giving Logan a moment to finally fully calm down.

“Love, you know I won't ever leave you right?” Roman broke the silence between them and gently took hold of  Logan's trembling hand giving him a smile. Logan looked at him and returned the smile. “One reason why I absolutely love you.” He stated. Roman looked around to make sure that there was no one around and pulled Logan onto his lap earning a protest. “Roman! Control yourself.” Logan hissed, but he couldn't say no when Roman gave him a sad pout.

“You are impossible my love.” He grumbled and wrapped his arms around his neck biting back a smile. Roman laughed and hugged him tighter. “Only for you dearest.” They pressed their foreheads together and smiled happily, if there was one person that never failed to keep Logan happy and safe.

It was certainly Roman.

Always.
