So, the next few drabbles will be about all the CL characters and what they're afraid of. I hope you're all happy-I had to scroll down a long list of phobias to find the right ones. Also, new poll on my profile, so you should vote on it... cough.
Jeremie was afraid of failing. His father-he expected so much of Jeremie. It had hurt him when Jeremie failed the test to get into the school for academically talented children.
Atychiphobia-fear of disappointing others.
If he wasn't there one day, the whole world could end. That was why he couldn't leave. But he couldn't tell his father that of course. Jeremie was just a disappointment.
Idiophobia-fear of idiots.
Aelita didn't mind. Aelita needed Jeremie. They all needed Jeremie. Aelita was in love with Jeremie, they could all see that, with the way Jeremie blushed and stammered around her.
Odd needed him, because Odd needed a steady anchor in reality that could help him cheat in science and math.
Ulrich needed him, because Ulrich just needed an anchor. Someone to listen to him rant about Yumi and William and anything. Ulrich needed an ear.
Yumi needed him. Not as much, but Yumi also needed someone to listen. And sometimes, you can't just talk to the boy you have a crush on or his best friend.
Autophobia-fear of being left alone.
Maybe Odd was a fantastic gymnast and artist. Maybe Ulrich would become some kind of famous author or something-he payed more attention in Language Arts. Maybe Yumi would be a historian-she had all those samurai suits. And maybe Jeremie and Aelita would get married-no one expected anything less from Mr. and Mrs. Einstein.
Metathesiophobia-fear of change.
