This one's for myself. I requested this one.
Tamaki's POV:
My tics aren't severe... but I still don't like them... they tend to draw attention towards myself.
Every little twitch... every little squeak... someone will look at me.
Sometimes in curiosity... sometimes in concern... and sometimes in judgment...
Regardless of the reasons, I hate it.
I can never seem to escape the eyes...
I get nervous because someone is looking at me... so I end up ticking... so then even more people look at me. I get more nervous, and I tic more... it's an endless cycle of torture...
Mirio says not to worry about it. But it's not that easy!
Like for example earlier today at the mall food court...
"What would you like to order?"
The underpaid employee asks with a terrifying customer service smile, that does nothing to hide how much they hate this job.
Mirio nudges me, when I don't answer...
"I... uh um... can I get thee uh... Okonomiyaki?"
I finally mumbled out.
The person working smiled even wider, freaking me out in the process.
"Of course. It'll be right out."
My adrenaline at been progressively getting higher with every blink in my direction.
My head started slightly twitching to the side.
I did my best to stop it,but there was only so much I could do.
Some other people there started looking at me because of the twitching. It made my anxiety spike. Causing my tics to worsen.
I started making this clicking noise with my mouth, every third head twitch.
Even more people were looking at me now!
At that moment I wished I had Mirio's old quirk, so I could just sink into the floor and die.
The more people that looked at me... the more I ticked.
Once we got our food, Mirio directed us to a table far away from everyone else.
Thank god!!!
He made casual conversation. Pretending as though my tics aren't even there.
Eventually they Toned down, and I could breathe normally.
I looked around, now seeing that no one was looking at me anymore.
Mirio somehow always knows what to do...
Author's note:
I tend to get self conscious about my tics, so I wanted to explore that as a concept.
I'm still on hiatus... I just had an idea, so I wrote it.
Not edited because it's 3A.M and I'm tired. Byeee
