January Compliments âïžđ
[Compliments Masterlist]
Hello everyone and welcome to the first Compliments Post of 2024! Hope the year has started off well for you all, and if not, then I hope this post can at least provide a little bit of joy to your day đ«¶
We may be only one month in but the boys have been delivering since the very first day đ So letâs get into it shall we! :-
January 2024
Ianâs 2023 Wrap Up
So to start us off, first day of the year and Mr Sunshine was already tugging at our heartstrings with his wrap up of 2023, and who made his 2023 what it was? Well Anthony of course đ„č
STOP IT! RIGHT NOW! đ©
LIKE WHAT IS THIS??? IM MEANT TO COPE WITH THIS??? HOW???
The fact the WHOLE post is Anthony - from the photos to the caption! EVERY SINGLE PHOTO HAS ANTHONY đ Also donât even get me started on the two unseen photos and the fact theyâve been kept from us till now. How dare đ€ AND the fact the first person he thanked was Anthony! Like yes heâs thanking and appreciating many people with this post but come on now, from the pictures alone itâs clear who made his year. This is just SO SPECIAL! Especially coming from Ian, who isnât normally a big one for sharing his emotions (I think weâve seen a change with that recently though), but this is BIG!
Anthony also in return left a sweet comment :-
âproud of you buddy.â
CRYING đ They kill me these two, couldnât even go one day without being sappy to each other - not that Iâm complaining. And as much as I would love to just sit here in this gooeyness, weâve got a lot to get through so I must move on đ„Č
LEGEND OF ZELDA RAP (Flashback)
So they reacted to the classic Legend Of Zelda Rap in this Flashback eps and got a few little compliments thrown in :-
-
[discussing the scene of Ian dressed as Link winking at the camera that spawned a viral gif]
Anthony: âThat for some reason was a clip that went viral- or a gif that went viral.â
Ian: âYeah, itâs like horny posters.â
Anthony: âYeah.â
Ian: âYeah.â
Anthony: âI see it way too much.â
[shoutout editor Kortney for this đ]
Ian: âGotta say, never looked better.â
Anthony: âThatâs true.â
Anthony agrees đ
-
Erin: [asking Ian if he had spicy time in the Link outfit like Anthony said about the Assassinâs Creed outfit in their 2 Truths 1 Lie eps]
Ian: âI did not have spicy time in the Link outfit because that outfit was very tight, there was not much of a range of motion in it.â
Anthony: âRight. Well you could be a pillow princess in that.â
Ian: âIâm not a pillow princess.â
Anthony: âOh really?â
Ian: âYeah.â
Anthony: âIâve heard otherwise.â
[look at each other and Anthony laughs]
Ian: âOh yeah, cause canonically we had sex for seven years.â
Anthony: [laughs] âIn the Food Battle lore.â
Ian: âYeah. Canonically in Food Battle, weâve had sex for seven years. You know every crevice of my body.â
Anthony: âOf your anatomy.â
Ian: âYeah.â
Anthony: âAnywhoâŠâ
Ian: âWow, this went a weird place.â
Anthony: âBack to looking at Link in his prime.â
Ian: âBack to me looking freakinâ HAWT.â
Anthony: âYeah.â
Just them casually discussing the fact theyâve canonically had sex for 7 years and then Anthony once again agreeing Ian looked hot in the Link outfit⊠I donât think I even need to say anything.
-
Anthony: âOh! And I just want to give a shoutout to myself.â
Ian: âOh, [sings] shoutout to myself.â
Anthony: âI painstakingly added those fucking stars [in the scene] for some reason. I thought they were so necessary.â
Ian: âYeah, no, that was sick.â
Ian giving Anthony a little compliment for his hard work đ
âŠ
Speaking of the stars it was also something Ian brought up again later when they appeared in the video again :-
Ian: âStars. Stars.â
Anthony: âOh yeah. Stars. We got âem in there.â
Very cute how he wanted to shoutout Anthonyâs work again âșïž
-
Erin: âThatâs Anthony?! [as Ganondorf]â
Ian: âYeah.â
Anthony: âShut up. You knew that was me.â
Erin: âThatâs crazy.â
Ian: âYou didnât know that was Anthony?â
Erin: âWhereâd your, like, jaw go?â
Ian: âWhat do you mean? Heâs got an epic jaw.â
Ian got so defensive on Anthonyâs behalf here, I love it! Reminded me of the moments from Who Memeâd It when Anthony was defending Ian đ
And that was us for this video!
Moving onâŠ
SOUP!
Gets a big title cause why not!
But yes, soup! So Ian has gotten into making soup this year and on that same Friday we got the Flashback, that evening we were blessed out of nowhere with these stories :-
THE WAY I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THESE đ©
Like this is the cutest, most domesticated shit ever! They kill me!!!!
And okay yes when that first photo was posted I thought Ian was right then and there cooking it for him, Ian then responded with this :-
Let me live in my fantasies Ian! đ€
But regardless of Mr dashing-my-dreams Hecox, Iâm still of the mindset they were hanging out that day and thatâs when Ian gave him the container of soup.
Evidence :-
This photo only. That I believe Anthony took đ
Also I try not to make these posts too shipper-heavy so that everyone may enjoy them if theyâre just here for the friendship alone, so Iâll just leave this other little post I made here about some other thoughts I had on this soup situation that isnât in the friendship realm đ€ All cool if thatâs not for you though!
VidConfessions
So 7 months later Vidcon finally decided to post this little interview they had with them lol. And even with such a short video we still got a few complimentary/cute moments :-
-
So Anthony was being his usual self and finding Ian the funniest person alive as always. There was a couple moments where Ian gave his answers and you just hear Anthonyâs laugh in the background đ„°
Q: What are the last three things you Googled?
Ian: âJared Leto cultâŠâ
Heâs a cutie âșïž
âŠ
And it happened again!
Q: Whatâs the cringest thing youâve ever done for views?
Ian: âI mean like our whole channelâs cringe.â
Anthony, once again: [laughing in the background]
Love him and how much he loves Ian and his humour đ
-
This was just one wee last bit I thought was cute :-
Ian: [signing out the video] âThis has been Ian from Smosh, thatâs right, the channel that is 17 and a half years old thatâs doing sketch comedy again with my best friend Anthony.â
Can never resist them calling each other âbest friendâ so of course had to include it!
Making of Pokémon In Real Life 2024
So they brought back the classic PokĂ©mon In Real Life sketch, and from that obviously we got the BTS. Only a couple little moments from this one but just wanted to include them cause they were silly đ€
-
Ian: [sneezes] âSorry. Your hairspray.â
Anthony: âOhhh⊠heâs allergic to me [smirks].â
đ Donât know what that was about but alrighty, AnthonyâŠ
-
Ian: [cuts his finger and thereâs a dot of blood]
Anthony: âOh my god, dude. Are you okay?â
Ian: âNo, Iâm not okay. Trigger warning gore.â
Anthony: âDo you need someone to suck out the blood?â
Why did this just turn into Saltburn? Donât know what Anthony was on with the these two moments but I wonât question it đ And despite saying âsomeoneâ, he was definitely offering to suck the blood from Ianâs finger himself đ€
Pokémon In Real Life 2024 Watch Party
Of course with the sketch and BTS we got a livestream, which gave us some cute and complimentary moments đ
To kick off this livestream I just wanna point out that they were wearing matching colours with Anthonyâs jacket and Ianâs hoodie, plus matching Smosh PokĂ©mon hats which is very cute đ
-
Ian: [apologising for getting annoyed in the BTS due to the background noise messing up their filming] âDude, this video. This PokĂ©mon video. I apologise if I looked very angry in the behind the scenes.â
Anthony: [laughs] âYou didnât look that bad. Honestly, it amped up accurately.â
Erin: âThe compilation of you getting angry, it was pretty funny.â
Anthony: Yeah, so it was justified. People knew why you were angry.â
Love the reassurance from Anthony here so that Ian isnât worried about how he came across in the video.
-
[take their hats off]
Ian: âHowâs my hair? Is it weird?â
Anthony: âIs mine weird? Yours is fine.â
Ian: âNo, I feel like yours is like, yours has like a messy chic to it, you know.â
Them just complimenting each otherâs hair - here for it! Also Ianâs added compliment of âmessy chicâ đ
-
[playing Pokémon quiz]
I&A: âJinx.â
Crew: [laughs]
Anthony: [smiles and points to Ian] âJinx.â
Ian: âThatâs our favourite. Favourite PokĂ©mon.â
Funny because itâs both the PokĂ©monâs name and they said it at the same time đ Cute how Ian also got in that thatâs their favourite âșïž
-
[complete the quiz]
Anthony: âDude, 100 percent, bro.â
I&A: [high-five]
Of course always gotta include the highfives đ
-
After the quiz they go on to play a Pikachu x Sonic crossover. Anthony plays a round and then Ian goes to play but canât get the controls to work for him so Anthonyâs showing him what to do đ„č I donât feel the need to include what they said here as itâs just Anthony saying what buttons to push but just wanted to include a little description of what was happening at this moment đ
-
Ian: [completes the game]
Anthony: âYou won the game.â [clapping]
Just another little cute moment I wanted to include of Anthony clapping for Ian đ
-
[playing Pokémon Among Us]
Anthony: [playing the game well]
Ian: âAlright, I hate that youâre like kind of eating.â [as Ian kept dying]
A begrudging little compliment from Ian there đ
-
[signing the livestream off]
Ian: âHappy New Year, hope the holidays were a fun time for you and you had some eggnog and sat by the campfireâŠâ
Anthony: âRoasting chestnuts.â
Ian: âRoasting chestnuts.â
Anthony: âOr chestnut. Iâm not making any assumptions.â
Ian: ââŠ.What?â
Anthony: âJust if they donât have more than one chestnut.â
Ian: âOhh, okay. I donât know if you could buy a singular chestnut butâŠâ
Anthony: âI think thereâs a way.â
Ian: âGo off king.â
Just a silly little one to end on because I wanted to include Ian calling Anthony âkingâ đ€
Can I Guess Who Slapped Me?
So the video of Anthony getting slapped finally dropped! And it was everything and more, especially when it came to moments between Ian and Anthony so letâs jump right in :-
-
Right off the bat we had this as the description for IanâŠ
đđđ
Now onto the actual slappingâŠ
-
The moment that got us all was just before Ian slaps him he slowly started caressing Anthonyâs face so obviously that had us all going crazy! Including the cast and crew!
Anthony: [after the slap] âOh. Wow. Uhhh, this person thinks theyâre hilarious.â [laughs]
Cast & Crew: [laughing]
Ian: [Trying not to laugh]
Anthony: âUhhh, who would do that? Who would caress my face and slap me out of nowhere?â
Ian: [boops Anthonyâs nose]
Anthony: âUh, it feels like an Ian move to me⊠Did you just boop me? Um, that feels like an Ian move.â
Kiana: âThat is correct.â
Everyone: [celebrating and applauding]
Anthony: [puts his hands out and Ian high-fives him]
Angela: âFriendship always wins!â
Ian: âWell done. Well done. Good job to you.â
Anthony: [bowing]
Ian: âThere we go. There we go. Thatâs the only one you truly needed to get right.â
Anthony: [laughs]
So true Ian! That was the most important one he needed to get right! And I just want to point out how Ian was only the 3rd person Anthony got right, and of course he knew it was him right away with his cheeky little joke of âthis person thinks theyâre hilariousâ đ he knew the second Ian caressed his face that it was him cause they truly just know each other that well âșïž Live for Angela yelling âFriendship always wins!â after he got it right too! And can we also talk about the totally unnecessary, but very, very cute little nose boop Ian threw in there just cause he wanted to! Obsessed!
-
A little bit later in the video during Duranâs round of slapping Anthony another little moment happened that I just wanted to include cause I thought that it was funny and showed how silly of a mood Ian was in, I think Anthony being blindfolded was playing a part in that and he gained a little extra layer of confidence to just fuck about with Anthony đ
Anthony: [standing with his butt pushed out waiting to be slapped]
Kiana: âThe stance is great. The stance is great.â
Ian: [runs over and pretends to go in to slap Anthonyâs butt]
Anthony: âWhyâs there wind?â
Cast & Crew: [laugh]
Hehe đ€
Anyways! That was it for the slapping video but I did also want to include something that came off the back of it and that wasâŠ
Bonus
Anthony dedicating a whole Instagram post to Ian slapping him :-
Obessed with this though! The fact he went out of his way to make a post specifically about Ian slapping him over anyone else, plus that caption! âonly ian would slap me like thatâ - truly the cherry on top of it all đ
Jacksfilms Confesses His Biggest Regret
So they had Jacksfilms on as a guest for Flashback to react to some of his old videos and an old collab of his the boys had been a part of.
-
Jack: [talking about how he moved to LA after he graduated] ââŠAnd thatâs when I started collaborating with some, then, very big YouTube channels.â
Anthony: [looks at Ian] âYeah, back then we were big.â [elbows Ian and Ian elbows him back]
Them just being silly đ loved the little elbowing of each other too đ
-
Jack: âI remember I was in college, I was like out hanging with my friends. I just got 50,000 subs on YouTube, baby. And one of my friends just like took the air right out of my tire, or sails, whatever, and was like âUh, yeah, did you know that Smosh has like a million now?â.â
Ian: âPffft.â
Anthony: [silent laughs] âNoice!â [high-fives Ian] âNoice!â
Again, just more of them being silly. Plus high-five!
-
I should have mentioned at the start of this section that Ian is in a tshirt-dress for this video as a reference to Jack as itâs got tweets of his printed on it. Anyway, as a result his legs are out obviously, and thatâs relevant to this next part :-
Anthony: [talking about how thereâs always an audience for every kind of content, itâs just about what kind of audience you want to have]
Ian: âThatâs true. And you want this audience.â [pointing to show off his legs]
Anthony: âYou want this.â
Ian: âYou want the audience that accepts this.â
Anthony: âThis is what you want. This is the audience that we have. And we are very happy with this audience.â
Ian: âExactly.â
Anthony: âTheyâve been begging for this.â
And weâre more than happy to be the audience for it! đ (As is Anthony considering how many times he was checking out Ianâs legs during this video đ)
Anthony also had this to say about YouTubeâs hate for Ianâs attire đ€
-
Jack: [talking about a sponsorship he done with other youtubers to test out a new workout program]
Ian: âDid you get Jaaaacked?â
Anthony: [looks at Ian with a smirk and high-fives him]
Second high-five for this video! Also Anthony just quietly complimenting Ianâs pun đ
-
Ian: âDo you [Jack] have any regrets? Any videos that you regret making?â [smiling]
Anthony: âYou look so happy saying that.â [smiling] âThis is happiest Iâve seen you all episode.â [laughs]
Just thought it was cute how Anthony seeing Ian smiling made him smile and laugh đ
And that was it for another Flashback!
No1 Ian Fan Strikes Again
So Anthony was back at it! The Smosh team was out celebrating one of the crews birthday - Erin posted this to her story. Now Iâm sure there were probably multiple photos and videos taken this night but what was the only thing Anthony shared from it? Thatâs right! Ian of course!
Heâs obsessed with that boy and I love it! đ
Ian also reshared and replied to Anthonyâs story which you can find here
Making Of âMrBeast Copycats Have Gone Too Farâ
So the BTS of the MrBeast Copycats Have Gone Too Far sketch offered us a few little moments :-
-
So this seemed to be a very high-five, hand-hold heavy BTS. Think they were just in one of those moods where they want any excuse to touch each other đ€đ
[Finishing off their little video introduction]
Anthony: [goes in to high-five Ian and grips his hand]
Ian: [high-fives Anthony back and also grips his hand in response]
I&A: [still holding each otherâs hands] âLetâs go shoot this shit!â
-
Ian: [messing up his line] âIâm having a trouble! Iâm having a troubleâŠâ [facepalms]
Shayne: âThatâs so funny. âIâm having a troubleâ.â
Anthony and Courtney: [laughing]
Anthony: [to Ian] âAre you having a trouble?â [puts hand on Ianâs shoulder]
Ian: âIâm having a trouble. Words.â
Anthony: [laughs]
I know they were (lovingly) poking fun at Ian here, but the wee glimpse of the shoulder touch from Anthony to Ian is what got me âșïž
-
I&A: [In character but joking around]
Ian: âThereâs a twist. Thereâs a twist.â [puts hand out to Anthony] âThereâs a twist.â
Anthony: âThereâs a twist.â [takes Ianâs hand and grips it]
I&A: [still holding hands whilst lightly pushing/tapping each other and repeating âthereâs a twistâ. They then start scissoring their fingers together, before gripping each otherâs fingers and pulling the other in closer to them whilst now repeating âgetting twistedâ and manically laughing]
Well⊠that was⊠something⊠đ
Told you they were just looking for any excuse to touch each other. But hey, wouldnât be a Smosh BTS if Ian and Anthony werenât flirting with each other đ
-
And to finish off this high-five heavy BTS, Iâll leave you with this :-
Ian: [talking about how Anthony injured himself by dropping a laptop on his foot and how he should take an Advil but Anthony doesnât take Advil so he doesnât know if itâll help]
Anthony: âI donât care about the pain, I just want the throbbing to stop.â
Ian: âHe doesnât like throbbing.â
Anthony: âI donât like throbbing. I like pulsating.â
Ian: [laughs] âI hate both of those words.â
Anthony: [laughs] âYeah, usually I say throbbing or pulsating memberâŠâ
Ian: [acting disgusted]
Anthony: âSpeaking of members thank you so much being a Smoshtastic or Smosh Royalty member!â
Ian: âYeah! Thanks for being our throbbing members.â [laughs]
Anthony: âOur pulsating members.â
Ian: âYeahhh, throbbing members.â
I&A: [high-five]
Um⊠thanks boys, I guess⊠happy to be a throbbing and pulsating member⊠đ„Žđ€Šââïž They high-fived so I had to include it, donât blame me for what they said! đ©
-
And on thatâs note that brings us to the end of January! Hope you all enjoyed reading - Iâd say it was a very good start to the year in terms of content, and the boys very much delivered in terms of complimentary moments so canât complain đ
Thank you all again for reading and I shall see you next time! đ

Me againnnn lmao I have another request could u do Melissa x reader where reader is normally quiet but someone brought up their special interest and everyone is kinda weirded out coz reader gets so happy and starts talking about it and sharing facts and stuff but no one except Melissa knows reader is autistic and someone says something mean to reader and she gets upset and Melissa comforts reader and also stands up for her (as always no pressure Iâm so so so happy! u r the first person that iv come across who writes fics about Melissa and autistic reader I get so happy when I see a notification from u i literally jump up and down with happiness and your fics really help me to accept im autistic coz Iâm still trying to come to terms with it anyway hope u r doing wellđ«¶)
OMG YES! Info dumping! I love it. And Iâm so glad my fics are helping you. Feel free as well to message me directly if you ever want. So my other obsession besides Lisa Ann Walter, is Doctor Who and Jodie Whittaker, so of course I chose to have the reader talk about her as the Doctor⊠I regret nothing đ. I went a little extra at the end but Iâm too gay for Melissa to care. Anyway, I enjoyed writing this so thank you for the prompt and I hope you like it! As always, not edited in the slightest.
For everyone, feel free to keep sending me prompts, and I was thinking about writing a one shot about Cheesy as thereâs not enough imo. Let me know if I should or not.
Title based off the song from Shrek 3 and the Italian word stronzo means asshole.
Thank You for Letting Me Be Myself
Warnings: someone is mean to reader, reader struggling with having autism(small part)
Words: 2.3k
Youâre sitting in the break room at the table with Barb and Melissa. You get up to get a coffee and when you do you hear someone starting to talk about Doctor Who and you perk up.
You turn around to see Jacob, Mr. Morton and another teacher talking about it. âYou guys watch Doctor Who?â You say and they stop talking and look up at you. Normally youâre quiet and donât really say much as youâre recharging before you go and have to teach your kiddos again.
âYes, do you watch it?â Jacob asks you and you nod with a big smile. Melissa looks up at you and sees your smile and she canât help but smile herself. Sheâs had a crush on you since about 4 months after you started and itâs almost been 9 months that youâre working here.
âWell come here and share your thoughts about it.â Jacob says and you walk over to them, coffee in hand.
âWhat exactly is your discussion about?â You ask them.
âAbout the first female doctor, the 13th doctor.â Mr. Morton says and you keep smiling.
âSheâs my favourite doctor! Like sheâs so enthusiastic and passionate and she just loves everything about what she does! And sheâs so funny too, itâs just a joy to watch Jodie play her!â You start and they look at you confused, wondering why youâve always been quiet but now youâre talkative.
The truth is, you're autistic and the only one that knows is Melissa and she promised not to tell anyone since itâs your secret not hers. You told her because you felt like you kept missing social cues or taking things too literally, so you wanted someone in your corner to help you and she had no problem doing that for you. She looks at you talking so passionately about your favourite show with a smile and heart eyes before going back to her phone, secretly still listening to you.
âAnd her Tardis is so amazing, oh and her companionâs compliment her so well, and her outfit looks amazing. Did you know that Jodie helped decide on the outfit to support the LGBTQ community since sheâs a huge ally. And alsoâŠâ and you keep going on for about 5 minutes about how much you love the 13th doctor and her era on Doctor Who. Until the other teacher, you donât know their name, the one Mr. Morton and Jacob were talking too, says something.
âOMG! Would you please shut up!â He says and you quickly shut your mouth. âI preferred it when you didnât speak at all.â He says, glaring at you. And you look down at the ground, embarrassed before running out of there.
Melissa looked up when he started speaking and is now getting up and walking over to them. âHey! Donât talk to her like that. You should count yourself lucky that I wonât contact one of my guys on you.â She says and looks at Jacob. âWhy didnât you say anything?!?â She says to him âor you?â She says to Mr. Morton.
âSorry Melissa, it all happened so fast.â Mr. Morton says and Jacob nods in agreement.
âYou should be ashamed of yourself!â She says to the teacher that was mean to you.
âHey, we were just sitting here talking about it until she cuts in and starts talking about everything that we werenât even discussing. And she wouldnât stop talking.â The teacher says , only making a deeper hole for himself. Melissa glares at him.
âI donât care what you think! Thereâs better ways to do that!â She says to him.
âShe shouldnât have talked so much and knew that it was too much.â He says, still trying to defend himself.
âSheâs autistic you stronzo!â She yells at him and then realises that she just told your secret and has wide eyes. All 3 of them look at her speechless, now understanding that you got excited and were info dumping and didnât mean to talk so much. Melissa turns around and walks out of the break room and goes to find you.
She ends up finding you in your classroom crying on your chair, hugging your legs. She knocks on the door, âhey y/n itâs me, just wanted to come check on you.â She tells you.
You get up and unlock the door then open it. Melissaâs heart breaks a bit when she sees you. Eyes puffy, red and watery, tear stained cheeks and red nose from you blowing your nose.
âOh hun.â She says and you walk back to your chair hugging your legs again. Melissa walks in and closes and locks the door then walks over to your desk. âHey, he was an ass, he shouldnât have said that to you.â Melissa tells you and crouches down and you look at her.
âNo, heâs right, I was talking too much. I shouldnât have gotten involved in their conversation. I just got so excited,â you tell her and you sniffle a bit.
âHun, itâs understandable, I know how much you love Doctor Who. You have nothing to be ashamed about.â She tells you and grabs your hand. âBtw I might have accidentally told them that youâre autistic. As in I told them and called that teacher a stronzo for you.â She tells you. âIâm sorry, I didnât mean for it to slip out, I just got angry that he was mean to you.â She says, rubbing your hand with her thumb.
âItâs ok, they would have found out eventually. But this is another reason I donât engage in conversations, cause I might talk too much.â You tell her. Melissa gets up and opens her arms out.
âCome here.â She tells you and motions to hug her. You put your feet down on the ground and then hug her waist since youâre still sitting in your chair. âWhy donât we go back in there, finish lunch. And then after school you can come to my place and I can make you some food and we can watch whatever you want.â She suggests and you look at her surprised.
âReally?â You ask her and she nods. âI would love that.â You tell her and she smiles. She helps you up and then unlocks the door and opens it for you. You both walk out and she sees youâre nervous about going back. She puts an arm wrapped around your back and her other hand on the arm closes to her and rubs it, providing comfort for you.
You get back in and when you enter everyone stops and looks up at you. Melissa can feel you immediately tense up. âWhat are all youse looking at?â She says and glares at everyone. Everyone immediately looks back down to their phone or food and continues what they were doing. Melissa leads you back to the table where Barb is and Barb gives you a comforting smile.
The teacher that was mean to you gets up and comes over to you. Melissa sees him coming over and glares at him, almost daring him to hurt you again. He has his head hanging a bit, looking embarrassed and stands beside you and you look up at him.
âHey y/n, I just wanted to apologize to you. I shouldnât have said what I said to you, Iâm sorry.â He tells you and you nod your head at him. Youâre too overwhelmed right now and canât speak. You finish your lunch without saying another word and Melissa keeps glancing at you, worried about you.
You finish up the day quietly. You get the kids to work on their book report so that itâs silent and you donât have to talk much. At the end of the day, when your last student was picked up you glance over at Melissa down the hall. You taught first grade so your classrooms are close together.
You canât help but stare at her. Sheâs bending over and offering one of her students a high five before waving bye to them to go with their parent. You decide to leave now while sheâs distracted, you think that maybe it wasnât the best to get Melissa involved in your situation and shouldnât have told her youâre autistic. So many people have had to accommodate you or help you and you feel like you should be able to do it yourself now that youâre an adult.
Melissa sees you look at her with a sad expression on your face before leaving. She canât help but feel like maybe you wonât come over to her place now. When her last student is leaving with their parent a couple minutes later, she practically books it to the parking lot but sees your car is already gone.
She drives home and gets to work on cooking dinner, hoping youâd show. But then she gets a text from you saying that you wonât be able to make it tonight, and she sighs. She researched autism when you told her a few months ago and she knows that when autistic people get overwhelmed, they hide themselves away. She offered for you to come to her place to de-stress with food and tv, so she does the next best thing. After she finished cooking, she packed it into a container, and brought it with her to your place. She went and knocked on your door.
You answered it not too long later with leggings and loose shirt on. âMelissa? What are you doing here?â You ask her.
âWell since you wonât come over to my place, I thought Iâd come to you.â She says with a warm smile and you now feel even more guilty for cancelling on her. âI brought over food I made. So either we can eat here or we can go back to my place. Choice is up to you.â She tells you with a shrug. You decide to go to her place and when you get there she gives you your favourite hoodie of hers and you sit on the couch. Youâve been to her place before and you told her that the plastic felt weird to sit on and she removed it the next day so that youâre comfortable when you go there. âHey, you donât have to speak but I just want to know that youâre ok.â She says and you nod. She gives you a plate of the food and you see that itâs her spaghetti and meatballs dish. Your favourite food of hers and you smile at her. She joins you on the couch, sitting next to you and then hands you the remote so you can decide what to watch, you decide on Shrek 3.
You watch the movie while eating, with Melissa right next to you, you in her hoodie, and you finally feel like youâre calming down. You put your head on her shoulder after you put your empty plate on the coffee table and she wraps her arm around you. You continue the movie, quoting some of the lines, and when it plays the ending scene with puss and donkey singing thank you, Melissa gets an idea. She guides you up and leads you to the empty space beside her couch and starts dancing with you. When the chorus comes on she sings it to you âI wanna thank you for lettin me be myselfâŠagainâ She sings and you laugh. When she says the line again, she spins you while singing. The second chorus comes up âcome on sing it with me.â She tells you.
The both of you sing it while dancing âI WANNA THANK YOU FOR LETTIN ME BE MYSELFâŠAGAIN.â You both sing at the top of your lungs. When it ends youâre both laughing and she hugs you.
âThank you for letting me be myself.â You tell her and she looks at you with a warm smile and places a lock of hair behind your ear before cupping your cheek.
âItâs not a problem hun, it doesnât matter to me that youâre autistic you know. You just think differently, and that's alright.â
You look in her eyes and you lean forward and kiss her. Melissa kisses you back and moves her hand from your cheek to the back of your head and places her left hand on your waist. You pull back and look at her with a smile.
âYou kissed me back.â You say to her and she nods. âWhy?â
âBecause I like you. I have for a few months now.â She tells you.
âFor how long?â You ask her and she thinks about it.
âAround the new year.â And you look at her in shock.
âBut thatâs after I told you I was autistic.â You tell her, putting the pieces together. âYou knew I was autistic and you still like me?â You question her.
âHow would you being autistic make me not like you?â She asks you, confused.
âBecause Iâm different than other people and have struggles because of it.â You tell her like itâs obvious.
âSo? Everyone is different in their own way and everyone has their own struggles.â She tells you. âFor example, I have trouble letting people in, because of trust issues. And I can have a short temper too.â She says and you look at her with so much love in your eyes. You kiss her again and she doesnât hesitate to kiss you back.
When the person says âyou may kiss the brideâ , she doesnât hesitate to give you a kiss then either. With a huge smile, she brings you closer to her and gives you a kiss, as wife and wife.
