#he and logan go on a road trip and he behaves autistically in restaurants then too

[jaywhere]

also today (i am writing this post so i do not forget these ideas) lauren and i spent like a full hour or two talking about a jean/scott/logan fic where the premise is basically that jean and scott's relationship gets extremely codependent and toxic bc she can literally read his mind, Is Not Supposed To Be reading his mind with the regularity she is & scott is quite autistic and in the middle of a sexuality crisis bc he is somewhere on the ace/demi spectrum but this fic takes place in like 2004 or sth idk so none of those words are actually used everyone is just horrible to each other

some of my favorite scott-related scenes from this tho include 1) post-implosion everyone is like "scott bro are you good" and he does have an actual real "im not good enough what is even the point of me" type of meltdown but it does not make him feel any more stable & someone's like "man you really need to take care of yourself" and hje is like shit you are right. i need to take care of myself. i will go do an activity that i enjoy. so he goes bowling, which is an activity he makes enough time to do like maybe once a year despite the fact that he owns his own bowling shoes. so he goes bowling alone at like 3pm on a tuesday and there is a bar there and he gets absolutely fucking hammered. just little guy in his shiny shoes and his polo and his lil red glasses getting absolutely trashed on cosmos or some shit. he is the only man in the bowling alley. logan finally shows up to be like "hey xavier is putting u on forced vacation bc ur freaking everyone out" and as soon as he walks in the employees, whomst are Actively Gossiping, are like "omg that's gotta be sad guy's boyfriend act cool"

there is also a bit much later where jean and scott try to take logan on a date and it goes very poorly, including hijinks such as: getting into scott's car and jean being like "scott logan is the guest he's not going to sit in the back" and logan being like "scott you're not putting your gf in the Back Seat for a date" and scott being like "Under No Circumstances Is Logan Allowed To Drive My Car" so jean's like "fine you drive and me and logan can sit in the back" and scott's like "ive been cuckolded enough thanks not ur fucking taxi driver" so logan's like "i'll just take my motorcyle and meet yall --" and jean just takes the keys from him and tells the boys to get in the backseat and scott's just "like we're your kids" and that is how they drive to the fancy restaurant
