I never been to Teddys house before Iām getting so overstimulated right now and thereās so many people here I never met before like his family. The smell of the food is way too strong right now and my clothes are starting to bother me it feels like my brain Is on fire.
Amy: hey dee Dee Iām gonna go talk to nate real quick
Amy wheels herself over to Nate
Nate: oh hey Amy whatās up
Amy: I think finnie is about to have a meltdownā¦maybe you should get him to a safe space before things get more serious

Nate: was that too much for you?
Finnie nods as he rocks back and forth to try to regulate his emotions.
Nate: Iām proud of you for going I know itās hard for you but you did it and you lasted about an hour. Good job
Nate gets into bed with finnie but doesnāt get too close to him. Nate puts Finnieās ear defenders on finnie to help him.
Finnie calm down little bit but he still needs to recover from the meltdown so he keeps himself wrapped up in a blanket.
Nate: I love you *give kiss on cheek*
Finnie smiles a little bit but is unable to speak at the moment. But to show he loves him back finnie snuggles up next to Nate and rests his head on his lap.
Nate: you can be so adorable some times
Finnie accidentally falls asleep on Nate because heās so worn out from the meltdown.
Nate letās finnie sleep on him as he just sits there drawing in his sketch book to pass the time.
