Shy Boyfriend Comforts You When You've Gone Non-Verbal

A Don't Shy Away OneShot

(This is something I've been wanting to write, since I'm autistic and I go non-verbal sometimes)

(Oh and I'm gonna use Y/N for this story)

Henry and Y/N were at the mall, just shopping around. They went into Hot Topic, because Y/N loved that store. Henry found some things he liked as well, then after that they went into a book store. Which is where they are now. "What are you gonna get honey bunny?" Henry asked his girlfriend with a big smile. Y/N was silent, she couldn't speak. "Y/N? Did you hear me?" Henry asked, a little concerned. Y/N nodded, but didn't say a word. She got closer to Henry, and buried her head in his chest. "Oh baby, are you feeling non-verbal?" Y/N nodded. "It's okay, you don't have to talk. Here, if you're up to it, you can write down what you wanna say." Henry gave her a notepad, and a pen. "I wanna get a werewolf book." She wrote. "Oh for sure sweetie, let's see what they have." The book store was starting to get a little crowded, and this made Y/N very tense. "I'm feeling overwhelmed" She wrote down, then tapped Henry on the shoulder. "Okay, baby we can leave if you want? Come back another day?" Y/N nodded, as Henry pulled her close to him. Y/N liked deep pressure hugs, they made her feel safe. "let's go home okay?" They left the mall, and were on their way home. When they arrived, Y/N needed some time to destress. So Henry left her to go up to her comfort corner, knowing that she needed space right now. After about thirty minutes, Henry went up to check on her. "Hey babygirl, is it ok for me to come in?" Henry asked. Y/N did a knock on the door, which signaled him to open it. "Hey babygirl, you feeling a little better?" Y/N nodded, and hugged Henry tight. "Would you mind if I join you?" "I don't mind." She wrote down. The two sat down on the blankets and pillows, Y/N gave him one her plushies. "Thank you sweetie, is this what you do to calm down?" She nodded. "I like it." Then Y/N smiled, and Henry felt his heart speed up at that. "Oh it's so good to see you smile." He said. "Still don't feel like talking?" Y/N nodded. "That's alright my love, I'll be here when you're ready." It was getting late, Henry carried his tired girlfriend up to their bed. He laid her down, and then got in next to her. Y/N immediately snuggled close to him, she wanted to be near him. It comforted her, whenever she goes non-verbal. "I'm sorry." Y/N spoke for the first time in a few hours. "Your voice is back! And you have nothing to be sorry for babygirl." Henry said, brushing her hair. "But I ruined our day at the mall." Y/N said, looking down. "You didn't ruin anything my love, you can't help it. I know how overwhelmed and stressed you get, it's okay." Henry reassured her. "I love you." She said, and kissed his chest. "I love you too babygirl, and you have nothing to be ashamed of." Y/N smiled as she closed her eyes, feeling very safe in her boyfriends arms. "Goodnight babe." She whispered. "Goodnight sweetheart, mwah."
