A/N: Here is a pic of the type of cane a visually impaired person uses. And it folds...
[I don't own this picture I got it from Wikipedia.]

This is a BoyXBoy story, so if you read and don't like it, I warned you.😉
And it's total fiction...

"Hey watch it!" A female voice says "oh my god I am so sorry I didn't see you were..." She hesitates to finish her thought.

"Blind." I finish her sentence. Usually I don't bump into people but today the subway was super crowded and it couldn't be helped.

"Yeah..." She says in an uncomfortable tone.

The train stops and the automated voice speaks over the intercom "This is Greenpoint Avenue" I hear the 'ding' I shuffle through the crowd of body's as they scoot out of the way to accommodate me. I walk to the doors with my cane and feel for the gap between the train and the platform. It'd be pretty scary if I got a foot stuck in that gap. I shiver at the thought as I walk up the stairs to the surface, a whiff of Mcmuffins and coffee hit my nose along with a cool breeze signaling the coming winter.

I walk over to the McDonald's doors feeling for the doorhandles. I go in and stop abruptly smelling the strong perfume of the person in front of me. The smell is strong too strong like, I'm assuming, she, bathed in the chemically floral scent. This is the reason I've never been attracted to city girls, they put on the stuff as if its a magical potion but it only leaves me gagging and gasping for clean air. City girls are just to stale smelling.

I step forward as the offensive odor fades. "next, good morning what can I get for you today? The usual?" A male voice asks. I come here a lot going to and from school. I'm kinda surprised I'm not 700 pounds with all the fast food I eat but thanks to a good metabolism and lots of walking I top out at 150.

"Yep, An egg Mcmuffin and a coffee 3 cream 4 sugars." I smile.

"Comin right up that will be 5.89" he states.

I hand him my card and put in my PIN number. My phone rings " Mom! Mom! Mom! Mommy! Mommy! Mama! Mama! Mama! Ma!" I've always been a big family guy fan ever since I heard 'Damn you ice cream! Come to my mouth...'. The show was playing late night reruns and I was channel surfing and boom a new obsession was made. I pull my phone from my pocket. Of Course this was my mom because this was her ringtone. I had to program all my contacts with a different tone so I know who they are. I press the answer button.

"Hey ma" I say holding the phone to my ear with one hand the other hand gripping the cold serving counter and my cane.

"Hi honey are you at school yet?" She asks

"No I'm waiting for food at McDonald's."

She sighs "Of course you are. I don't understand how you could eat that garbage. I even made you breakfast and now your eating again"

"I'm a growing boy Ma you don't honestly think tofu scramble is going to keep me full?" I ask laughing under my breath. Moms a strick vegan and I myself was one as well until I was 13 and a friend introduced me to the joys of meat, glorious meat. Needless to say I'm totally addicted to McDonald's Mcmuffins and quite literally jumped for joy when the all day breakfast was introduced.

"Well I trust you to make your own decisions but don't bring that stuff into my house... Your father and I need to talk to you when you get home"

I perk up at the word Dad "Dads come home?!" He has been serving in Iraq for 3 years so we only get to see him once in a while. He's a military man as was his father and his father before him. When I was diagnosed as legally blind, I know my father must have been disappointed in me but I don't think I would have been a soldier even if I could see, I'm a lover not a fighter. Although I've never really been in love or even had a date.
