Hey there!! I see you write fics and I don’t know if you take requests?? If not don’t worry!! But if u do, could you write a luke x reader where the reader struggles with anxiety and ocd? Like checking things a lot (checking doors are locked, oven is off etc) and struggling with intrusive thoughts. But like it doesn’t need to be dark or anything, more like Luke helps to reassure her and it’s more like cute n sweet. If not comfortable writing about this tho I totally understand!! Thank u and love ur writing x
A/N : Ok first of all thank you so much!!! I’ve been feeling like I suck at writing for a while and all so this helped so much!! Ily<33 and I do take requests (for future reference lmao). Anyways I hope you liked this!!
Warnings : ocd, anxiety attacks and such. Well it’s not really graphic but it’s there. Also it’s smol🥺. Had no idea what to name this lol +masterlist | reblogs are highly appreciated<33
Better with You | lh
Tumblr media
Ever since you were born, you had always been prone to worrying. As a child, you had been anxious about getting lost or separated from your parents. As you grew older, your fears shifted to other things: locking doors, turning off the stove, making the bed at least seven times a day, making sure you hadn't accidentally offended anyone, apologizing over and over again when you really didn’t have to.
It wasn't until you were in your late teens that you finally found a name for what you were experiencing: obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD. It was a huge relief to know that there was a reason behind your constant need to check things and your intrusive thoughts. And that there wasn’t something “wrong” with you. But even with the medication and therapy, you still struggled.
And that’s where Luke comes in. After you met at a coffee shop one day, he has been the absolute sweetheart, leading him to become your boyfriend and one of the most important people in your life. He had been with you through it all. He had held your hand during panic attacks, listened patiently as you talked about your fears, and never once judged you for your struggles. He was your rock, the best friend, the boyfriend that you could always count on.
One day, you were sitting on the couch, scrolling through various social media platforms, when you suddenly felt a jolt of panic travel through your spine. Had you turned off the oven before you came back to the living room? You couldn't remember. You gulped, closing your eyes for a moment, trying to push the horrific thought away, but it kept nagging at you, growing louder and more insistent with each passing moment.
"Hey," Luke said, his cerulean eyes filled with worry as he took in your distress. "Is everything okay?" You shook your head, unable to speak.
"What's going on?" he asked, taking your hand in his much larger one.
"I don't remember if I turned off the oven," you hiccuped, tears threatening to slip past your waterline. "What if the house burns down?"
Luke squeezed your hand. "It’s okay, why don’t we go check together? Hmm?”
You stood up, feeling slightly unsteady. Luke immediately wrapped his arms around you, securing you in his hold and led you to the kitchen and together, you opened the oven door. It was off.
"See?" Luke said, smiling down at you. "Everything's okay. The house isn't going to burn down."
You let out a shaky breath. "Thank you."
"Of course babe" he said, wrapping his arms around you once more and kissing the top of your head. "I'll always be here to help you through anything."
You leaned into him, cuddling into his loving embrace. After focusing on his heartbeat for a while, it was easy for you to finally calm down. With Luke by your side, you knew that everything would be alright.
A/N: Thank you for reading! Hope you’re having a great day. I love feedback, it helps so much.

What You Can See Now
---
In the span of time between your leaving LA and now, you've questioned whether or not it had been the correct decision to break up with Chris. Things hadn't been what you expected. It made you wonder if things with Chris had really been all that bad. It made you wonder if it had all been a misunderstanding. Could you change your mind? Could you and Chris be together again? You've questioned your decisions that day almost every moment of every day until today, until what you can see in front of you now.
---
“Hey, Y/N,” you can hear the surprise and hesitation in his voice, “How are you? I'm surprised to see you…here, in Boston.”
“I…,” your heartbeat unexpectedly quickens, and you have to pause. Seeing him, being in this place with him again brings up even more feelings that you were not expecting to come back up. Feelings that you'd been shoving down so hard that you'd convinced yourself that they were gone. You take a deep breath to steady yourself, “I was selling at the flea market, you know the one we went to that same day we came to this park.”
You watch as he turns in the direction of the market. You figure that he remembers that place and the day you'd been thinking about as his expression seems to shift to match yours, “Yeah, I remember that day…place. What are you selling? Is it those cards you used to make? The ones that I really used to…love?”
“Um yeah, I am,” he seems nervous, unsure of himself. You can't help but notice how he paused before saying 'love'. You wonder if this is as uncomfortable for him as it is for you. You continue explaining though you could see that his mood was just as melancholy as yours, “I've even got some regulars that order from my new website every few months. I also have some stuff in that bookstore we used to go to, well that I used to drag you to. I became really good friends with the owner when I got settled.” 
"Settled?” “Um yeah,” you know this is going to be awkward. The weeks after you managed to stop crying you thought about this moment. You'd imagined he'd be upset to see you, happy to see you, beg for you to come back, or even demand that you leave Boston. You'd spent several sleepless nights worried that you'd run into him before you were ready. You don't want it to seem as if your decision to stay in Boston means anything. It was just easier for you at the time.
You mentally go over what you practiced telling yourself in preparation for the potential of running into Chris. It's just a fact. You live in Boston. Lots of people live in Boston. When you're ready to speak again you can't help looking anywhere but him as you say, “I live here, in Boston, now...”

But I know that I walk better when I hold

In times like these when I’m really stuck in life I really miss my bestie my sister even more and it’s all my fault! we don’t communicate because I’m a terrible friend I can’t muster up the courage to call and I just Need to hear her voice or just a few text but what IF she hates me? what IF she has a new friend.. what IF.. is always holds me back and time just keeps passing I want to call and tell her about my eight rabbits and how they drive me crazy about how I’m basically an aunt now about my life! I miss her dearly I want to know everything I want.. I want..I want..but she deserves better someone who will answer her calls first ring, double triple text her when she doesn’t text back quick enough how could I have let my favorite relationship disappear before my eyes it’s seems intangible now how can I? does she even? is it even worth getting her hopes up that I’ll be better just to disappear when my depression takes over I want to be better FOR her but it’s hard to withOUT her

A customer contacted our team with questions, and then finished their email with: "I am daunted by the complexities and unknowns." I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.
