"Have you seen him? He's so weird"
"Who?"
"That Sissy dude!"
"That's not nice, sure he's a littl..."
"No, like that's like, his name"
"Oh, well, he's cute."
Sisyphus was born with an unfortunate name, especially knowing that he's hispanic. He was always known as being a bit strange, he would cry when someone made eye contact, he would cover his ears even in relative silence, he would yell at people for cursing, and he would never call people by their names. Everyone knew that despite his abnormalities, he was kind. He would remember everyone's birthday and would draw a birthday card for everyone, filling it with at least a 50$ gift card, and would simply say, "yay, existence" when delivering them. Whenever someone cried, he would hold their hands and say, "you're okay, or you will be, and tomorrow we're going to go to the diner, promise". It was weird, but every single thing about him was soft, childish, and kind. Everyone knew but nobody understands , he has autism.
Who's better for the loving boy than a guy who needs a lesson in kindness (and in Spanish class)?

"Well I need a wife, if you haven't noticed a wedding is supposed to take PLACE!!" Gustavo yelled making me shrink in fear.
He's one scary dude.
"Where are we going to get a bride?, It's late" his mother said trying to reason with him.
His eyes roamed around the room before it landed on me.
"What about him?" Gustavo suggested, his eyes boring into mine, making me shrink a little with fear and discomfort. I wasn't scared of him, it was just that I'm naturally a shy person, so obviously someone who was oozing with such aura would make me panic a bit.
"He looks just like his sister, the same skin colour, his hair is shorter but we can work with it" he was talking to himself now, but his gaze was still fixed on me. His eyes then darted to his mother who looked the same as my mother, stressed.
"Put him In her wedding clothes, mother go tell the priest not to add the kissing part, I want the wedding short and fast" he said before leaving the room. Slamming the door in anger, which made me flinch
