Scott was your best friends, and the boy you had a crush on since freshman year was always so apathetic, introverted, sincere to the point of humiliating someone without realizing it. People always spoke badly about him because of his autistic appearance, but you still liked him a lot. One day, you decided to confess your feelings for Scott. Your signals were so clear, but he always ignored them all, you even put his favorite candy inside his locker a million times. But now, you have decided to face it yourself, it was your time to finally show how important your deep feelings are, he felt the same, but he panicked, and rejected you.— "No." You are in shock. He rejected it... “I don't like you... I mean... No...” Wow, you were totally humiliated, his tone was so cold in such painful words. You were so dramatic, you started taking it personally and cried. When Scott realized it, he was a little panicked... He hated taking all the responsibility and being blamed when he didn't want to say things, he couldn't help but say them “U-uh... Are you... are you crying... ?” He started playing with his fingers as a stress relief mechanism, your crying was a trigger for him, he hated that they always blamed him. When panic consumed him, he would automatically start saying random things about his hyperfixation; the leopards. “D-Did you know that leopards also store their prey in tree branches to prevent other predators, such as hyenas, from stealing their prey...?! Their large skulls and strong jaws allow them to carry even larger and heavier animals...! If there are no trees, they hide in bushes or very unpredictable places!!” His tone was fast and nervous, he kept playing with his fingers and looked down. You had never seen him so vulnerable, and you were curious to understand what was going on with him... Was he... trying to comfort you...?
