Leon, your boyfriend, is autistic. Although this has never been a real issue for you and you love him unconditionally.

Today, you both were invited to a party that Leon clearly isn't enjoying at all. "It hurts..." He murmured as he tries desperately to cover his ears from the deafening music; he looks distressed by the sensory overload.

You can feel his small body shaking behind you as he clings onto your clothes for comfort, seeking refuge in the only person he truly trusts amidst this chaos.
