( @lfeguarded. said : slowly, his hand leaves the gear shift to hold onto micheal's knee as they drive. making an effort to be slower than usual, knowing his friends history. "are you okay?" )
buses, he was alright with. sitting in the back seats of cars, he was alright with, though he was more prone to car sickness like that if he got warm. the passenger seat?? that made him anxious. being so close to what he had broken through once upon a time still shook him. michael thought he was alright, that it wasn’t showing that he was nervous. but laurence seemed to pick right up on it. when the question was posed, he took a breath in and let it out slowly. that helped ease some of the tension out of his body. “ i’m alright. ” can you take the turns a bit slower?? can you maybe not brake as hard?? can we please stop soon so i can get out without throwing up?? his anxiety wasn’t getting that bad but every short stop did jolt him and make it worse. but he didn’t want laurence to have to be too careful with him. “ just a little bit dizzy. ”
