Honey, Your Aspies' Showing

by authenticaussie

Luffy has something wrong with him; he just doesn't know what it is. Words are dropped around him like he can't hear what they're saying, and it's almost like he doesn't, because even when the terms to describe it all stick in his head, he can never seem to find out anything else. (AKA, that one modern AU where Luffy has Asperger's syndrome and hints of minor ADHD.) Drabbles

8. Getting Out (To Fast)

(at least they work)

His word were always early, his gramps mentions one day, when the sun sets and the fireworks burst in the sky, lighting up the night in reds and greens.

Maybe, Luffy thinks, when he wonders about that, they don't come out right, because they came out to early. Words were not an unsurmountable forte when he could talk to Robin, or Usopp, who both wielded legends and tales in smooth breaths, but he thinks that it's not too bad, if he thinks of it as they coming a little early and not fixing themselves up the right way in the first place.

AN: whispers it's so short unf. sorry. The actual chapter's only 106 words BUT THEN I had this whooper of an author's note that was like, 700 words.

Thanks to Love in Fire, pugslover, FlightWulf, and Frostbert for your reviews!

Also in terms of the hospital thing! Two (ahh, three now!) weeks ago I was riding and my horse tripped and fell on me, crushing my metatarsals (those're toe bones, pff, I managed to get all of 'em 'cept my littlest,) into fragments and breaking my one part of my ankle, and then deeply fracturing another part. I ended up needing surgery because of the pure amount of damage that I did, and I'm stuck in a cast, then a moon boot, and then I've got physiotherapy before I'm allowed to walk again.

Apart from that, I'm all good!
