Watching Battlebots

Trevor and Olivia had been seeing the evening fly by as they watched Battlebots. Whooping at all the big hits and eating pizza.

"Would you like a wing?" Trevor asked gesturing to the box. "Umm no thanks I don't like chicken." Olivia says very unconvincingly. Trevor gave her a look. Olivia chuckled. "Are you giving me bombastic side eye sir?" She chuckled. "Maybe. I don't know what the look is called. What i do know is i saw you every Chicken Tender Thursday in school and how many you had." Olivia blushes. "Ok fine i love chicken i just didn't want to steal yours." She said smiling. "It's not stealing if im offering it to you. We'll split them and we'll get 2 boxes next time." He said smiling. "Fuck you are just the best." She said grabbing a wing and tearing into it.

"I bet we'd have been great friends in high school." Trevor said. Olivia nodded "Agreed. Say why did you never talk to me? I don't mean it in a bad way i'm just curious." Trevor sighed. "Do you want the truth or the answer i'd give if anyone else from our high school asked?" Olivia scratched her head. "Umm could i get both?" Trevor nodded. "So the other answer is i was not great at talking to girls." Olivia leans in close. "So what's the truth?" Trevor loomed down unable to give eye contact. "I wanted to be friends and talk. I would go in every day thinking 'today i'm going to talk to her.' But everytime i was about to i'd think of all the people who bullied me..." Trevor started tearing up as he looked at the screen. Battlebots paused on a match between Minion and Grendel. "I saw how mean people were to me and i thought. I can't put her through that. I can't have her feeling how i felt. So i stayed quiet. To keep you safe."

Olivia was speechless. "You... you were protecting me?" She asked. Trevor nodded. "You idiot." Trevor looked up confused but She was smiling. She didn't mean it maliciously. "I'd rather have had 1 of you than 100 of them." Trevor smiled wide. "Olivia... i think... i think i need a hug." Trevor said. Olivia was about to dive in when Trevor put his hand up in front to stop her. "No not like that." With that Trevor awkwardly shuffled closer and leant up against Olivia. She smiled. "Do you want to rest on my thighs?" Trevor nodded and lead on her thighs as she wrapped her arm over his torso. "No one's going to hurt you anymore." Olivia said in a reassuring voice as she unpaused.

*in Olivia's head - 'He's so cute. Gosh he's the most adorable guy ever.'

"Say you are doing well with a lot of physical touch." Olivia commented as Trevor laughed. "It's actually a very common misconception. Autistic people hate SURPRISE touch. Touches we aren't expecting. Touches from behind. But if we initiate it or its someone we trust... most autistic people love physical touch." Olivia nodded. "That makes a lot of sense. So what type of touch do you like?" Olivia asks. Trevor blushed. "Don't laugh but i like it when people play with my hair." He says embarassed but suddenly felt very relaxed as Olivia started running her fingers through his hair. "Mhhhhmmm" he let out a soft moan as Olivia giggled. "You like that?" Trevor nodded. "I just find it relaxing. I haven't been this relaxed in ages." Olivia continued running her fingers through. "Well whenever you are stressed call me. I'll come over. We can be like this till you are destressed. Whether its an episode or a whole night." Trevor smiled. "Thank you."

After about 30 seconds of silence excluding the tv Trevor spoke up. "Is there anything i can do to relax you?" Olivia giggles. "I like foot rubs but you don't have to..." Trevor sits up. "Take off your socks" he said bluntly. Olivia was a bit taken aback. "Uhhh why." Trevor shrugged. "So i can give you a foot rub?" He said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "No honestly its fi..." Olivia was cut off by Trevor. "You agreed to do something to relax me. Only fair to reciprocate." He said starting to roll down the Hypershock socks. "Ok 2 things." Olivia said. "First. Please don't interupt me again i hate it." Trevor's face went sad. "Oh i'm so sorry i didn't mean to." He started to get a bit flustered but Olivia sat in front of him. "Its ok... breathe, breathe. Im not upset. Im just letting you know for future." Trevor calmed down. "Ok what was thing 2?" Olivia smiled. "Are you sure sensory wise you can cope?" Trevor nodded. "I'll be fine. I can do it for you." Olivia blushed. "Then I won't stop you." As she led back and Trevor got to work.

"Mhhhhhmmm my gosh you are good at foot rubs." Olivia moaned as Trevor chuckled. "Helps when the feet are nice too." He said with a wink. Olivia gasped and laughed. "I'm getting the feeling you are pretty kinky. Bet your last GF loved you." She joked. "Nah, never had a girlfriend. Never been kissed for that matter." She stated. Olivia sat up. "Wait really? But you're cute, nice and as i said earlier. You gotta nice ass." She said chuckling. "Ehh it is what it is." He says continuing the foot rub but Olivia stops him.

"Look i've been... trying to think of a way to apologise for not being more defensive of you in High School. And knowing you you'd want your first kiss to be with someone you trust, someone willing to take it slow, someone who knows your needs and someone who wouldn't be offended if you hated it because of the sensory feeling right?" Trevor looked at Olivia confused. "Umm yes i guess you are right. That would be preferable." Olivia blushed. "So ummm to make it up to you about high school would uhhh... would you let me be your first kiss?" You can say no I get it." Trevor looks at her in shock. "Are you sure?" Olivia nods. "100%. Im sure. I want to do this if you do." Trevor looks at her and smiles. "It would be my honour to have you as my first kiss." As they both blush. "Ok do you want to initiate or me?" Olivia asks. "Could you lead? And also could you... how do i put this... you don't have to rush the actual kiss but could you just go straight for it. Gives me less time to overthink. No count down. No are you ready. Just go for it?" Olivia nods. "Got it" she leans in.
