It's been a while uuhhh. Honestly would be sad if Hazel had Dev at a party and threw confetti and he was just. Not good but masked it in front of Hazel until eventually he lies about having to go home sick. Poor guy
I ACTUALLY THINK HE'D LASH OUT. Dev is... not the greatest at masking his feelings, sometimes.
I think, in the case of him seeing confetti on the ground like that, he'd very likely very clearly Freak Out. And THEN he'd get EXTREMELY DEFENSIVE. "I'm not some dumb BABY that can't handle a little bit of CONFETTI, Harpoon!"
"Yoouuuu...! Really look like you're about to throw up! D: ???"
"NO I'M NOT!" He says, while he actively is fighting off that urge as we speak. Because GOOODDD does the sight of confetti GENUINELY make him nauseous.
ANYWAY! YEAH! I can very, VERY much imagine something along those lines happening. Confetti everywhere. MAYBE IT'S FROM SOMETHING IN CLASS? And Dev is sitting there and suddenly he's clasping his hand over his mouth and his stomach is gurgling and now he's suddenly feeling very, VERY sick. AND... I think he'd KNOW why. I mean, yeah, he'd very obviously be able to put two-and-two together, LMAO, but I can still picture him, like... IDK HOW TO DO WORDS, BUT, LIKE...
I can imagine that he's sitting there feeling SO dumb and SO stupid, because why is he overreacting over THIS? Yeah, sure, whatever, Peri exploding was Not Fun to witness, and he is aware that he hates confetti and all that now, but SERIOUSLY? Him suddenly feeling SICK over it? Confetti making him EMOTIONAL? Ugh! He needs to grow UP. Stop acting like a BABY. It's just CONFETTI.
...Peri has a lot of weird feelings about it, too! Which... also makes sense. Lots of complicated feelings all the way around.
SORRY! SORRY! I'M RAMBLING! I really, REALLY missed this AU, guys...
