Because I'm autistic, I tend to trust people very quickly and take what they say at face value, which can put me at risk of being taken advantage of. I'm also not always very good with directions, and I get overwhelmed very easily in new or crowded places, which can lead to unsafe situations for me if I'm alone. So there's not a lot I'm allowed to go out and do by myself. Which is okay by me really, I'm not complaining. But it can feel a bit much sometimes.
!! Yay Zeke! Okay! As long as I can have a few days notice, I'll gladly come over! Would I be able to sleep over? And also would it be okay if I brought my own food if I did?
I can be quite anxious or fussy about food sometimes is all!
really? who knew people studied things like that...
ive had sleep studies before but never with a stuffed animal involved lol (sleep studies suck by the way - how is someone supposed to sleep hooked up to a bunch of machines)
Yes! (Sorry I realized I sent that without any context)
He's dating Chris! And he's kind to me at school, he walks me to class so people aren't horrible to me. He's never bitten anyone to my knowledge, but he seems open to the opportunity.
RONAN X CHRIS REAL U CAN'T KEEP THIS GUY AWAY FROM HARGROVES
He looks scary and mean, and he can be! But he's also a big softie; I hold his hand sometimes (not for romantic reasons obviously, it's just something that helps me feel calm and safe) and he's never minded!
I'd be happy to study with you sometime, if you like.
[She's still talking to him. He doesn't mind her questions...]
It's my lungs. I got sick with a virus when I was thirteen. It's what killed my parents. I was in really bad shape - they thought I was going to die.
I never really got better after that. I developed Pulmonary Fibrosis. It's usually something old people or smokers get, but my infection was bad enough, I guess.
It makes my lungs scar up, and it gets worse over time. I didn't have to start using oxygen every day until a year or so ago. Like I said, they're bad enough now that I'll need two new ones, but that probably just isn't going to happen.

maybe if u push me around i can make sure people dont fuck with you
lol
you can bring ur own food
erin used to do that all the time before she moved in, and zeke changes his cooking for her, or cooks something separately
im not picky at all
i think u can sleep over but we dont have an extra bed and i cant really sleep on the couch
would that be bad for you?
no subject
Oh, I didn't know that! That makes me feel a bit better about it, haha. I'll bring lots of snacks though that we can share, okay?
That's alright, I can curl up anywhere as long as I have a minimum of three bears
(That was a joke)
(I need a minimum of forty)

i dont really tell anyone that but i guess
not many people to tell anyway
no subject
I have a lot - I collect them and sleep with all of them! I want to try and find a sloth bear, but they're hard to find.
Did you know it's good for stress levels to sleep with stuffies? It's been studied!

I've never had one, but I don't think I'd like that much...
It's hard enough sleeping with a noodle-horse trampling me!
no subject
i want a dog so bad
i mean
ive never asked for one
im not sure zeke would say no...
no subject
What sort would you like?
no subject
lol
when i got sick i was kind of hoping i could have a service dog but i guess there's nothing id really need it for
except maybe biting people who block my path
no subject
Ronan would though! :D

[He doesn't go to school often, but most people know who that guy is.]
do you go to his school too?
no subject
He's dating Chris! And he's kind to me at school, he walks me to class so people aren't horrible to me. He's never bitten anyone to my knowledge, but he seems open to the opportunity.
RONAN X CHRIS REAL U CAN'T KEEP THIS GUY AWAY FROM HARGROVES
But I don't really go to school anymore.
I guess I'm technically a drop out, but they let me come sit in on classes sometimes and shit like that.
Like a moth to a ginger flame...
I'd be happy to study with you sometime, if you like.
no subject
That sounds nice, but there's really not much point in me keeping up with schoolwork.
I'm going to die soon, so...
[Way to just drop that bomb, Eren, but it's not like there's a nice way to say it. He's used to this conversation by now...]
no subject
Die soon..?
Are you being serious? I can't tell if you're kidding
[ Uncomfy feeling in her chest! Building! Either due to the bombshell, or the potential of being made fun of for believing it if he is kidding. ]

My disease has a short life expectancy. I'm on a transplant list, but I'd need a double transplant, and those are hard to get. It's not likely.
I only have a couple more years, maybe. Zeke doesn't like to talk about it, but it's true.
I understand if you don't want to be friends. Honestly, it would hurt my feelings a lot, but still, I get it.
no subject
[ That's not fair! Not fair at all, actually!
[ Lily paces a bit, worried little hums accompanying some gentle rocking when she comes to a stop. It's at least a minute before Eren gets a reply. ]
I still want to be friends, very much.
Is it your lungs?
Sorry if that's a silly question, I know you use oxygen, but I wasn't sure if that was something separate.
[ Cue fairy-padding through to Lucy's office. Mama time is needed. ]

It sucks.
no subject
That does suck! Very much actually!
[ Lily isn't very good at typical comforting. But she is good at sharing facts, and so... ]
Did you know that if you stretched a set of lungs out, they'd be the size of half a tennis court?
