It's difficult being on the aroace spectrum while being surrounded by Christians. You would think they'd be chill with it, no sin of lust or whatever, but because it qualifies as part of the lgtbqia+ they get weird about it. When I came out to my parents they said things like 'we don't need a label for everything' and 'you'll probably change your mind in a few years'. They avoid it and try and ignore it. When I initially came out I was sex repulsed, but now I'm just not particularly interested in it but not opposed to it, and I don't know how they'd take that. It's frustrating living out my life not being able to just say "hey, I don't see people like that, I can recognise what other people see as desirable but I don't feel anything for it" without people getting all stingy about it.

“journal” - Jegulus microfic - @into-the-jeggyverse - 306 words

 

James is leaning against the door frame taking in the scene in front of him.

Regulus is sitting on the living room floor with his back against the couch. There’s a film playing on the TV, music coming from a separate speaker in the corner and a laptop open on the coffee table playing a YouTube video. Regulus’ journal is open on the floor beside him, there’s a book open but forgotten in his lap and Regulus is leaning against the couch scrolling on his phone.

“What are you doing, love?” James asks fondly after a minute.

“Just watching YouTube.” Regulus says simply without looking up.

James smiles and walks over to sit behind Regulus on the couch. Regulus tilts his head back and James leans down to kiss him.

“What’s with everything else?” James asks.

“What do you mean?” Regulus asks looking genuinely confused and James just sort of nods towards the various things around the room.

“Oh… well, I’m watching the YouTube video, but the TV is background noise and the music helps me focus. But sometimes my mind still gets distracted so I like to read for a bit while I’m watching and that helps me pay attention to the video. And then either the video or the book or the music will make me think of something so I have my journal to write it down so I don’t forget. And right now, I’m looking for what I want to watch next and also scrolling TikTok.” Regulus explains like it’s completely obvious.

“I love the way your mind works.” James smiles at him again and leans down for another kiss.

James settles back on the couch and starts watching the film and Regulus goes back to watching YouTube. (And reading. And listening to music. And journaling. And scrolling. And chatting with James about the film.)

You know that moment when your autism isn't vibing well and it just suddenly fucking clicks why and what it is and what would help in this situation?

Those moments are insane. Like, my brain was doing the nasty thing and suddenly for whatever reason, I know I'm having a trigger to something and I need to stim to relieve it.

On top of that, it clicks in my head that my head likes pressure when anxious and having nasty feely times. Hats give pressure.

So, I'm going hat shopping now. If you know any good pressure inducing hats let me know.

I remember everything, thats what plagues me.

I remember nothing, thats what kills me.
