In A World Of His Own

(Hi welcome to this new book this is going to be apart of a series I and working on and it's for mental illness awareness type thing. This is the first book in the series there are going to be three to four books in all each one a different pairing and different illness. I would also like to clarify that I do NOT know everything about autism or any other illnesses nor do I have it. I'm still in early research stages of learning this mental illness(autism) so if I accidentally offend or get something wrong PLEASE DO NOT start a war in the comments because I am aware that most stuff I will get wrong. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy this chapter.)

If I could discribe Dan in one word it would be remarkable. He is probably the most talented and most amazing person I have ever met. Sure I am a successful Youtuber and lots of job offers and promotions he is by far the most amazing person.

"Dan it's lunch time!" I yelled as I set the plates on the table along with a cup of coffee and juice. "Dan?!" I shout once more seeing that he was ignoring me, I let out a heavy sigh and walk to Dan's room. I could hear Dan playing the piano, I gently knock on the door and open it, "Dan?" I ask again opening up the door to see Dan playing the piano. I went up close to the piano and kneel down, "Dan?" finally he stops playing and looks over at me.

"It's time for Lunch." I say softly earning a small nod from him, "Come on Dan..." I say slowly taking a hold of his soft cold hand. Dan slowly stands up and follows me to the kitchen.

He takes a seat at the table and starts to eat his food, I was looking at my phone checking twitter. "You were playing beautifully Dan." I said softly looking at him he continues to ignore me. I don't mind it that much especially since this is a normal thing for him to do. Dan has Autism so I can understand why he is not acknowleging my compliments and myself. I sigh heavily and continue to eat my food, "Video?" I look up and see Dan looking at me with curious eyes. "Video?" he says one more time, "I don't know do you feel up to it?" Dan lifts up his hands flapping them. "Dan?" he looks up and shrugs, "Let's try okay?" Dan nods slowly and continues eating.

"We can stop anytime." he nods in response, I look across the table to see the canera I left there last night. I turn it on and face it to me and start recording.

-Time skip cause I'm lazy af-

Dan held my hand tightly as I walk with him down the street while vlogging in the process. I was telling the camera that we were now heading to the mall to go get some things. Dan was nibbling on his teething necklace and looking around, occasionally looking back at the camera shyly. "Whatcha thinking about Danny?" Dan looks at me letting the chewable necklace pedant falling out of his mouth when he spoke, "Things." he states before going back to looking around.

I chuckle and start vlogging again I gave Dan's hand a small squeeze fdeling him squeeze back, "Why...are..uh..." Dan says suddenly trying to point at something. I look at him curiously, "Why are what Dan?" I ask softly, "Why are those...people looking...?" I look at where he's pointing to see two highschoolers probably around the age of 18 to 19 years old quickly avert their eyes. I look back at Dan and push his hand down, "Dan it's rude to point." Dan sniffles and scratches the back of his head.

"Come on Dan, do you want a hot chocolate?" Dan looks at the boys again and then looks at me and nods. I smiled and guided him to the near by Starbucks. We went inside and go to the counter looking at the menu, "Phil...getting?" I shuffle a bit and say, "Well I was thinking of getting a coffee." Dan nods and rubs his arm, "Phil..?" I look at him, "Yeah?" I say looking concerned, "Cube..." I nodded and let go of Dan's hand and unzip the backpack he was wearing that contained the things he needed whenever we went out. I pull out his fidget cube and hand it to him and instantly he started fidgeting.

"Hello welcome to Starbucks." I look at her and see her smiling sweetly at us, "Hi. Can I have a pumkin spice and a hot chocolate." Dan tugs at my shirt, "Can I do it...!" I nodded handing him the money. The cashier was very paitent with Dan when he would take his time trying not to touch her while handing the money to her.

I reach for Dan's hand which he took a hold of it while stimming with the other. We head over to the place where you pick up the drinks, I was vlogging again bantering a bit while we waited. "So Dan what did you get?" Dan looks at the camera and says, "Hot Chocolate!" he looked excited. I chuckled softly, "Here you go sir." I look up and thank the barista before handing the camera to Dan before taking the drinks. We head over to a seat and sat down, "Here Dan." I move his drink to him.

After a few minutes of relaxing I hear Dan speak up, "Phil is avoiding conversation." I chuckled to see that he had the camera pointed a t me a big smile crept across his face. "Silly bear." I say softly before looking at my phone, that's when I got a text from Louise.

Hey Phillip! Are you and Dan free today!? I was curious if you wanted to go to lunch? Get back to me soon!

-Louise

I bit my lip and looked at Dan who had his feet up close to his chest while sipping his drink.

I'll ask him later....
