notes; im bored and autistic that’s bout’ it

The bell over the bakery door jingled softly as you stepped inside, immediately greeted by the smell of warm bread, sugar, and something citrusy. You rubbed your fingers together — the scratchy feeling of your sweater cuffs always helped ground you when places were a little too much.

Clark was right behind you, his presence steady like always. You caught his tiny smile as he held the door open for you, even though you were already inside. Classic Clark — always thinking two steps ahead about ways to be kind.

“You okay?” he asked quietly, leaning down just enough that it was easier for you to hear over the quiet clatter of dishes behind the counter.

You nodded, a small smile pulling at your lips. “It’s cozy here,” you said, voice soft. It really was. The bakery had wide windows that let the sun pour in, little tables that weren’t too close together, and walls lined with pastel shelves and hand-drawn chalk menus. Predictable. Safe.

Clark’s hand brushed lightly against yours. “Wanna pick something out together?”

You hummed, considering the case of pastries in front of you. The labels were clear — neatly printed in different colors. Lemon tarts, mini chocolate croissants, frosted shortbread cookies shaped like little cows.

Your eyes caught on a strawberry cream cupcake, the frosting piped into a swirl almost too perfect to eat. You tapped the glass lightly, excitement buzzing low in your chest. “That one.”

Clark followed your gaze immediately, smiling even wider. “Good choice,” he said, nudging you playfully with his elbow.

While you picked your cupcake, Clark ordered a black coffee — even though you knew he secretly liked when you shared your sweets with him. He made sure to ask for two forks without you needing to say anything, sliding one over to you when you sat down in a quiet corner by the window.

As you carefully peeled back the cupcake wrapper, Clark just watched you, like he wasn’t in a rush for anything else in the world.

“You light up when you find something you like,” he said warmly, voice so low it was almost a secret between just the two of you.

You blinked at him, the compliment landing heavy in your chest — not uncomfortable, just big. Words sometimes didn’t feel like enough. So instead, you scooted the cupcake a little closer to him, silently offering him a bite first.

Clark chuckled and shook his head. “Ladies first.”

And so you shared the strawberry cupcake under the warm morning sun, your hands brushing now and then, Clark’s laugh rumbling quietly across the little table. No rush, no pressure. Just you and him and something sweet.
