Love and Deepspace Guys w/ an Autistic S/O who is Overwhelmed/burnt out (Xavier and Zayne)

Please keep in mind that this is based off of my personal experience, i certainly don't speak for everyone. This is also based on my perception of the boys. I'd do Raf as well, but I just don't know him well enough.

Xavier x gn!reader, Zayne x gn! reader

Xavier

I feel like Xavier would be really, really good at dealing with an overwhelmed or burnt out s/o

He's not socially demanding, like at all, and he's really quiet so there's not the intensity that makes burn out and being generally overwhelmed

I'm not sure he'd be as great at insisting that you take care of yourself, but if you don't to hang out or you need a week away, he's 100% supportive

He's also very willing to take on extra work to make sure that you can actually rest

Honestly, I see him being very happy just to rest with you, since he seems to be super tired all the time. Seriously, how does he sleep standing up. Like, at least go sit down.

But best of all, he's just a no pressure kind of guy.

Zayne

I'll admit, my preference for Zayne is probably playing a part here, but I think he'd be great for someone like me who is absolutely shit at taking care of themselves

If Xavier is good at facilitating the need for space and rest, Zayne is the one who insists you get it

reminding you that you don't have to be social 100% of the time. That you can put the social media down and that people can just go fuck themselves if they don't like it

He also seems like the type who is great at making sure it doesn't get as bad as it could. Recognizing the little cues that you're starting to wear down. The pinched face, slight changes in posture. It doesn't get past him that you're not texting as often or that you're spending more time in your room

Which is something that he tries to let you do. He'll be on hand if you need him and he doesn't mind offering a little social stimulation if you need it, but he wants you to focus on yourself

He also teases far less when you're worn out and burnt out. He recognizes that the teasing just isn't going to hit the same way it usually does

Something else that really makes him great is just how proactive he is, not just in recognizing it, but also creating ways for you to communicate how your feeling
