- It makes him so full inside when he gets to take care of you and he wouldn’t have it any other way
“Ready, sweetheart?” Jin asked, slipping the sunglasses down over your eyes.
“Ready!” you confirmed, giving the thumbs up symbol.
Jin skimmed his thumbs along your cheekbones for a beat. He dropped a quick kiss to the very tip of your nose and laced his fingers through yours, beginning to lead you to the crowded restaurant.
“Don’t worry about the boys. I told them that if they stare, I’m cutting their dicks off. With the knife I use to slice onions.” He grinned devilishly.
You shoved Jin in the side “You did not!” you clenched and unclenched the hand you were holding, wriggling your fingers.
A sarcastic sigh. “Okay, just Taehyung.”
- Where Jin is soothing, Yoongi is unbelievably relaxing
- Hurts him inside to see you unhappy
- If you’re an “I need space” autistic, this is your man
- Will respect the fuck outta your boundaries, has no problem peaceing out for a while so you can recoup
- If you’re an “I need constant cuddles” autistic, this is also your man.
- Happy to go with you anywhere and take you with him anywhere
- Basically if you say jump he’ll say how high
- Your stim toys are slowly taking over his studio
- He’s probably “borrowed” your tangle on occasion
- There’s now a little “nest” in the corner with a beanbag chair and a laptop and some blankets where you chill out while he works
- Let’s be real, he flops right in there with you on a regular basis
- His favorite though is when you camp out on his lap while he works
- Slips his headphones on to give you a listen because he knows you have no filter
- “Yoongi, this bassline sounds like ass.”
- *snorts* “Alrighty then”
- Really appreciates how blunt you are. He finds it refreshing.
- Ridiculously compatible in date choices: inside wearing comfy clothes doing nothing requiring effort
- If there is exposed skin anywhere, he’s kissing it
- Eating you out when you feel understimulated
- Secretly loves when you’re nonverbal
- When you melt down or shut down, he’ll quietly chill there right next to you on the floor the whole time.
- You have all the space you need and yet you know he’s right there and it’s so wonderfully calming
- Curls right back up with you as soon as you’ll let him
- “I love you so much, jagiya”
- Surgically fused to your hip for a while after
- One of his favorite things to do when you’re upset or right after a meltdown is to sit you next to him while he plays piano
- You lean on his side or put your head in his lap and he plays you whatever until you feel better again.
- Puts his beanies on your head all the time, especially when you’re not there with him
- Looks at you like you hung the moon
- Loves the everloving shit out of you
“Yoongi, I wanna get up.” you whined.
“Nuh-uh, baby love.” he murmured, rolling himself over so he was resting his body weight on top of you, which he knew you loved as a pressure stim. “You and I are going absolutely nowhere.” He tapped you on the nose.
“Noooo, you’re being mean.”
“I just spent 10 hours in the studio without you, I’m keeping you here in this bed for at least that much longer.” He kissed your forehead and rested his chin on your breastbone. “Am I not allowed to spend this precious time showing you how much I love you?”
“Well, can I go to the bathroom?” you asked.
Yoongi rolled his eyes “Fine, but we have to cuddle after.”
“Deal.” you linked pinkies.

“It’s all over now, it’s okay, dear heart. Oppa’s here.” Hoseok cooed, smearing little kisses on your temple as he rocked you back and forth in his lap. Your meltdown had left you feeling raw, fuzzy around the edges. But Hobi was there. Hobi, who sat with you for the past hour and a half while you screamed, cried, and tried to rip at your hair. Hobi, who warmed your hands in his own, pulled your head into his lap so he could card his fingers through your hair. Hobi who loved you oh so very much.
“Here, come on up.” he pulled you up to stand on top of his feet, knowing you couldn’t talk so soon after a meltdown. A soft grin crossed his face as you melted into his embrace, and he began to slow dance across the dim kitchen, humming a song only you two knew.
“I fall in love with you a little more every day, I hope you know that.” he murmured into your hair, kissing it. “And days like today are never an exception, my heart.”
- Shockingly, probably the most likely to date an autistic out of everyone (not that anyone on this list wouldn’t, but-)

- Also like Yoongi, he prefers it if you sit in his lap while he works

- Likes to take his shirt off, tuck you in bed, pull you onto his chest, and read aloud to you to calm you down
- You fall asleep from this more often than not
- Loves you so much that he will even *le gasp* shelve the daddy kink if it makes you feel unsafe
- Would not be surprised to find out he has a journal where he writes down little things you do that make him fall in love with you all over again every day
- And on a particularly hard day (or maybe the day he proposes) he’ll read it to you
“Did you know that Arabian horses can do endurance races of 100 miles or more?” you stated, not looking away from your computer screen
“Do they now?” Namjoon replied, slowly turning around in his desk chair, dimples beginning to form as the warmth bloomed in his chest
“Yeah, one of them even carried someone across the desert overnight without food or water. While he was unconscious.” you prattled on, letting your hands flap as you got more excited.
Namjoon almost squealed seeing you happy stim. “I wanna hear all about it- in a minute.” he pushed himself out of his chair and made his way over to you. “First, I think I have to punish you for being this adorable.”
“AAAAHHHH! Joon!” you shrieked as he absolutely smothered your face in sloppy kisses.
- You two are both so soft
- It probably took about 67 years for you to end up together because you were both so damn scared of each other but you’re here now and you’re kicking yourselves for waiting this long

- Likes to style it for you too
- Like whombst the fuck is Chris Pratt, your boyfriend can whip up some Daenerys Targaryen looking shit in about 5 minutes and it looks good must be those tiny fingers

- You don’t wanna go out? 10 dollars says he didn’t want to either.
- Feeling frazzled? Stim away wherever you want, he doesn’t give a fuck.
- Want a kiss? He’ll give you 20
- So so so scared when you meltdown or shutdown at first
- Like he just wants to wave a magic wand and take all the ickyness inside you out and carry it himself but he can’t and it just kills him
- But he figures out the best thing he can do is show you that what’s happening doesn’t make him love you any less
- So he makes the room dark and quiet and bundles you up in your weighted blanket and is just all gentle touches until its over
- Fingerspells “I love you” into your palm
- If anything he loves you even more because you let him in on this incredibly vulnerable moment and he’s so touched that you trust him to be there for you
- When you’re upset, he’ll plop you between his knees and really brush your hair out
- Even if you have particularly long hair, he won’t stop until it’s shiny and smooth and the brush just flows right through
- So so careful not to pull on your scalp
- When he’s done he likes to massage your hands with your good lotion and it makes you feel boneless
- If he’s really feeling it, he paints your nails too
- An actual cinnamon roll that thinks there’s no reason that you don’t deserve everything
“Darling, you didn’t start season 7 without me, right?” Jimin asked, lowering himself onto the couch and pecking your cheek. When you didn’t reply right away, he wasn’t concerned, he noticed your thumbs tapping away at your phone, warning him that it would buzz.
*Of course not! Not after THAT season finale jesus fucking christ my soul*
Jimin smiled as he looked up from his phone. “I think I’ll order us some pizza, you want your usual?”
You nodded. Your boyfriend arranged himself so he was semi-kneeling behind you, starting a braid on the side of your head.
“Do you think today is a Margaery kind of day, or a Sansa one?” A buzz.
*Margaery please, who wouldn’t want to be Natalie Dormer?*
Jimin just giggled as his deft fingers got to work.

- Spoils the shit out of you, always buying you new stim toys and other nonsense tangentially related to whatever you’re into

- Large quantities of Gucci apparel being shipped to your place because you get so stressed trying to go out and shop and he wants you to be able to try stuff on just for him with nothing else to bother you
- Almost definitely fucked with your AAC device to put in stupid shit like a button for “Kim Taehyung is the world’s sexiest man” and “Jeon Jungkook is a little shit”

- Despite everyone thinking of him as a constant joker, he can really grow the fuck up when the situation calls for it
- When things start getting hard for you, you will get his mom streak real fast. He can give Jin a run for his money.

The keys jingled in the lock as Taehyung opened the door. His eyes landed on you, chewy necklace hanging out of your mouth as you were laying on your stomach playing with your tablet. Instantly, he was all smiles as fireworks went off inside him.
“Hi Fidget!” he squeaked, locking the door behind him as you turned to face him, now smiling almost as much as he was. He dashed over to you, playfully hefting you into his lap and smattering some kisses in the space between your eyebrows, which made you giggle.
“And how was your day, pumpkin? I hope you haven’t been joining any criminal syndicates, hmm?” his arms snaked around you, hands caressing up and down your arms.
*No, no crimes today* the voice of your AAC app spoke.
“As I would expect of my Fidget, the very best Fidget in the whole world.” he praised, smooching the end of your nose.

“Don’t wanna knowwww what kinda dress you’re wearing toniiiight” Jungkook sang breathily in your ear as he walked around the house with you perched on his hip.
“Kook, put me down.” you halfheartedly grumbled, because you didn’t really want him to stop.
“If he’s holding on to you so tiiiiiight!” He suddenly smashed you into his hold, your face ending up in the crook of his neck as he devolved into snickers.
“Jeon Jungkook!” you cried as you felt his arms press you against him, and you sighed, feeling depressurized from the contact. Jungkook must have felt that, because you were just as suddenly dipped nearly upside down as your boyfriend hovered over you with the dumbest grin on his face.
“Good.” he kissed your lips. “I wanna play League of Legends, I get mid lane this time.”
