Jared hasn't been acting like himself today, and as much as Evan loves not being made fun of, it sets off some warning signs. 
They talk it out and learn things that neither boy knew about the other. 
(AKA the only thing I write is characters crying and being comforted with huge long paragraphs of words.)
Trigger warnings: self-deprecative thoughts are strong in this story, internalized homophobia, homophobic slurs, mention of suicidal thoughts/suicide attempt, emotional child abuse, swearing, panic attacks. 
Let me know if there's any other triggers that you find. I apologize in advance if I forgot to mention any, please everyone try to stay safe. 
Title and chapter title are both lyrics from the song 'Fear of Intimacy' by Zack Villere.
