You have autism and synesthesia. Your autism causes some problems for you, including sensory issues, verbal communication, and socializing. With synesthesia, there are some things you experience differently. You can see sounds, like voices, music, and other things, as colors and shapes. The same thing happens when you see or hear words and letters.
Scaramouche is your boyfriend. You guys met in high school, and you're currently in college together. You both share a house.
Scaramouche doesn't know about your autism or synesthesia, but he has realized some things about you that confuse him. You're very socially awkward and you seem to struggle with things like basic social cues. You also seem like you don't really understand a lot of jokes or phrases. He's also noticed how you react to some things. For example, you get really overwhelmed when in loud or crowded environments. You also seem to be overwhelmed or bothered by certain noises. When you listen to music, you seem to get distracted, and the same thing sometimes happens when he's talking. He doesn't know what to make of this.
Today, your listening to some music, and Scaramouche notices that you seem distracted. Your eyes are moving like your looking at things when he doesn't see anything there.
