Therapy
"You should see a therapist." Remus spoke up, looking over at his boyfriend.
"What? Why? There's nothing wrong with me." Severus replied, defensively.
"You've been through a lot of trauma. It's important to discuss that with a professional so you can heal. Besides anyone can see a therapist."
"You've been through a lot of trauma too. Or is turning into a werewolf not traumatic?" Severus shot back.
"....True. But, I'm fine."
"So am I!"
"I disagree."
"And why do you disagree, since you know so much about me?" Severus snapped, in a mocking tone.
"Just yesterday you almost had a panic attack when someone knocked over their cauldron in potions."
"Key word: almost."
"Fine. This morning, you did have a panic attack when you accidentally spilt Lucius's juice."
"I didn't have a panic attack."
"Yes, you did."
"Why do you say that."
"You mean besides the fact that you started hyperventilating, covered your ears with your hands, and closed your eyes way too tightly? All outward signs that you're experiencing a panic attack."
"Just because it looked like I had a panic attack once doesn't mean I need to see a therapist."
"It's been more than once."
"Whatever."
"What about all those nightmares? The constant need for validation? Flinching at the slightest amount of noise?"
"And what is therapy going to do about that?"
"It will help you understand your emotions and learn better coping mechanisms."
"I still think you should go to therapy to." Severus deflected.
Remus was quiet for a few beats. "Fine. You go to therapy, and I'll go. Deal?"
"....I'll....I'll try."
