LocalXmusicXjellybeanX: YAY, caught up in two more chapters : ) In the I- chapter I also just wanted to hug Blaine and make all of his problems go away. He was just too sweet! And the J- chapter is for sure really, really sad. But I'm glad you liked it anyway
Gleekforever12345: Thank you. I'm so glad you're liking this and I'm happy I wrote Izzie good : )
TamJaspie: I'm happy you did. You're very welcome and yep- that's what they're called haha. Thank you : )
GleeJunkie007: I'm so glad I wrote her right : ) And I'm very, very, very happy you liked the other characters too.
So, I normally don't like this pairing since I don't like Sugar and I think that Rory deserves better. But I had this idea since Sugar basically tries to act "Aspergian". And a part of Asperger's is the obsessions that comes with it
If anything in this chapter seems dishonoring or mean to anyone that have got Asperger's or any other kinds of "letters" (ADHD, ADD, ASD of any kind etc etc etc or anything or anyone at all) I am truly sorry for it. And I wanted to let you know that I would never try and be mean to anyone- let alone basically myself and several of my friends.
O is for Obsessed
For people with Asperger's syndrome, or other kinds of Autism it is very common to have an obsession. The Autistic will, during a longer or shorter period of time want to know anything, everything and as much as possible about one or several subjects. It can be just about anything from a celebrity to outer space to trains.
Some Autistic people have one or more obsession that last through a whole life time
I looked up from the laptop screen and laid my head a bit to the side. I had decided to find out more about Asperger's- maybe there was something else I could do, on top of saying what I wanted if I told people that it was because of having Asperger's.
There were no one that cared about that it wasn't true that I told them I had Asperger's anyway. In fact- it had happened a few times that someone who still knew that it wasn't true seemed to believe that I actually had it and could be diagnosed for real. Not that I wanted that though- it was great as an excuse, but for real? Just no!
Suddenly I heard there was a knock on the door downstairs. I already knew it was my boyfriend- the best boyfriend in the whole wide world, but dad always forced me to look all the doors and windows when I was home alone so I had to go and unlock it so he could get in- if dad wouldn't force me to have the doors locked as much he could have just come running in and straight up to my room as he did at other times.
"Hey honey." When Rory stepped over the threshold he was wearing a smile from ear to ear. "Look here" He held his hand forward and opened it, revealing a small red and white candy heart with the text "Kiss me" I smiled and took the heart and put it in my mouth and chewed very slowly, only to annoy him and Rory kind of looked like a sad puppy when he realized what I was doing.
At last- when there wasn't a chance for me to chew it anymore I swallowed end then wrapped my arms around his waist and leaned in.
Which would have gone a whole lot better if Rory hadn't sneezed right then.
"Oh EW" I shouted and turned to run to the bathroom and wash my face. "RORY YOU IDIOT!" I slammed the door to the bathroom but didn't care about wasting time on locking it before I ran over to the sink and started washing my face with soap and water and whatever else I could find that would use for this.
"I'm sorry honey." Rory had come after me and now stood in the door and leaned against the door frame. His smile had faded and he was looking kind of tired while scratching Valentina- the Schnauzer he had given me when he and Artie were fighting over me for Valentine's Day, behind her ear and holding her with the other hand.
"YOU ARE SO DISGUSTING" I shouted and washed my face once more. "But…" I turned the crane off and grabbed a towel. "I love you anyway… even though if I catch whatever cold you have then I won't!" Rory moaned. "Sorry, Asperger's!" Rory just smiled and shook his head.
"I love you too honey." His voice sounded weirdly hoarse when he said it. "Come on, let's go to your room." Rory more or less pulled me along through the hallway and up the stairs and I tried to ask him why he pulled me so hard but he didn't answer. At last upstairs he more or less fell down onto my sofa and lied Valentina down by him.
"I'm so tired!" He mumbled and then coughed. "I'm just going to take a nap here. Can you wake me up in twenty minutes or something?" I shrugged, but hadn't had the time to answer him so he could hear before he started snoring. Wow! Rory for sure did have a way with falling asleep fast- and even now with one leg hanging outside the sofa and the other stretched out so he had his knee on the arm support and the rest outside of the sofa.
Valentina just yawned, and then lied her head down on Rory's shoulder and fell asleep she too, and not long after it seemed like they had some sort of competition on who could snore the loudest with the deepest breaths. And I tried to shut it out while I decided on what my obsession was going to be.
"Ugh." I didn't know how long it was later when Rory groaned and rolled over so long he fell down from the sofa. "Ow…" He sat up. "Oh… How long did I sleep for?" He looked around for a clock and then pulled out his phone to check and quickly counted in his head on how long he had been asleep- I didn't know though!
"Sugar." Rory moaned. "Didn't I tell you that you should have woken me up? Ugh, now I'm never going to sleep tonight. I slept for more than an hour." Rory moaned again and got up in the couch again and leaned back against the cushions. "Although… yeah! Now I'm coming down with something! Sugar are you listening to me?"
"Did you know that there are more monopoly money produced in the world than real US dollars?" I turned to Rory, who laid on his stomach supporting on one of his elbows and the arm support, his hair disgustingly soaking with sweat and before he had the time to say anything else he was cut off by a massive coughing fit, and it lasted for so long I turned back to my laptop and looked for facts about money.
"I'll take that as no- you're not listening to me!" Rory span around and slumped down on his back again. "Ow… my neck! What are you doing anyway?" I heard what he said, only didn't register that he was talking to me. "Sugar… what are you doing anyway? It's not like you to be this far away in your own world!"
"I read on the Internet that people with Asperger's usually have an obsession, something they want to find out pretty much anything and everything about something, and I have decided that my obsession is going to be money. But it also says that whenever they get an obsession it's actually really fun to just find out more and find out more- this is just boring! I think I've read the same facts ten times now, still can't remember a thing!"
"People with Asperger's don't get to choose their obsessions Sugar." Rory mumbled. "My little brother Seamus has it! And he snows in on anything and everything. He just never choose what!" I only glared at him- only because they didn't get to choose their obsession it wouldn't mean that I didn't get to choose mine! And even if reading so much about the same things was boring, I could at least choose something that was…. Me!
Rory sighed and rolled over turning on his other side. "I seriously don't feel good!" He moaned and stroke the fringe out of his eyes. "And I feel so gross!" He coughed again and sat up seeming dizzy. "Sugar have you got any tissues? Oh, now I lost you again!" I had turned back to the laptop and concentrated hard on remembering the facts about money, I had to do it if anyone would be able to ever believe that I actually had Asperger's- and if my lies were going to work!
"You haven't got Asperger's!" Rory moaned. "There is no point with keeping on pretending you have it! It will only backfire on you!" I glared back at him. "Sorry, but having seen both how much good and how much bad that can do to a person- and I'm not meaning that having Asperger's is something bad- I mean that the rest of the world don't always react on it well…. Well, I just don't see the point with pretending!"
"Why are you saying this now Rory?"
"Sorry Sweetheart. I go grumpy when I'm feeling like this. And even grumpier when you keep on getting lost in whatever reason you're obsessed with money." He sighed, and started coughing violently. "And you've already got your obsession! You're obsessed with pretending to have Asperger's!"
"Am not!"
"You are!"
"Am not!"
"You're as obsessed with pretending that you have Asperger's and trying to make people believe you do as Seamus was with everything Irish when he was younger! Or as obsessed as he is with Harry Potter right now! Rory yawned and coughed again. "Why do you do it anyway? It's not like you actually try and make people believe that you've actually got Asperger's when you always tell them it's self-diagnosed and that because of that you can say whatever you want and just use that as an excuse!"
"You should be careful with what you say now Ro!" I protested. "If you don't shut up about this, because you know nothing about it! Then I won't let you stay here tonight, and the Pierce's are gone for tonight so then you will be all alone!" Rory moaned, something about that he wouldn't- he had other friends so he'd just barge into their lives for a bit.
"But you will have to get there yourself then!" I stated. "And going outside now doesn't feel great now does it? It's cold and windy and…" Rory moaned and tilted his head to lie it onto the other side and if my heart hadn't been as tough as it was it would probably would have just melted. Although- my heart was made of steal and I could care more about it!
"Rory?" I turned my head to continue, but realized that my boyfriend had fallen asleep on my sofa again, despite about what he had said earlier about that he would never sleep tonight after sleeping for so long earlier. I sighed, oh come on- even steal could melt, and I couldn't help but to feel bad over Rory feeling so not well- after- all he must have caught it from me when I had it last week!
I stood up and grabbed the blanket hanging over the arm support by Rory's feet and draped it over my Irish sweetheart. Then I sighed and sat down by my desk again and once again tried to memorize the facts I had found about American dollars- which once again was proven to be useless, it was just too boring and when Rory woke up half an hour later I was just sitting and leaning back in my chair pushing the spinning chair back and forth to kill some time in my boredom.
"Did you give up on the obsession?" Rory asked and I nodded. "I'm sorry if I was rude about it earlier. It's hard to be on your best when you're so tired it feels like someone's massaging your brain with oatmeal!"
"Is that an Irish expression?"
"No! That's my expression!" Rory pushed himself up and leaned against the back cushions of the sofa and sighed. "I feel gross!" It was understandable- he was soaking with sweat. "I've got some extra clothes with me because I was supposed to stay here for tonight!" He suppressed a yawn. "But I think that I'll be better off on my own, and it's just two blocks away anyway, do you mind if I take a shower first I really need to get all of this off?"
"No… If you'd let me…" I stood up from the chair and sat down next to him and placed my hand on his shirt. "I could join you and I could let my new obsession be you!" Rory laughed slightly but hesitated.
"Aren't you afraid you might catch this- whatever it is?"
"No… I had it last week remember?" Rory nodded and reached for his backpack and pulled out a new outfit.
"Well then a mhuirnín." He stood up carefully not to get dizzy. "…If you'd let me I would happily let you be my new obsession too!"
So… I didn't have any idea how to do this chapter, credit for the idea to what word to use goes to gleekforever12345
a mhuirnín- Irish for darling
