When Lana brought out the order, Bo was much more talkative, his eyes bright and teasing as he asked after the bartender's wife and kids (which Oscar had not expected from the women, though he knew better than to judge a book by its cover).
“‘So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.’” Bradley’s voice was soft as he spoke the final words, a sigh passing through his lips as he thought of the finality of the phrase.
This is an information chapter. My point for this is to provide helpful information that can either be enjoyed or help you as the reader to understand the behaviors of the character.I wish to provide insight into the character of Doctor Bradley Oliver Jones.Doctor Bradley Oliver Jones uses he/him pronouns. He is gay, and he is open about his sexuality. His autism is based mostly on my own, and these questions (I hope) will provide insight to him and his behaviors. I got the idea to do this from a fellow writer friend of mine, and if you have any questions about Autism in general (or related to the character), I can be contacted at kato.holmes.02@gmail.com.Please enjoy.
It is easy for Bradley to be honest, it is difficult for him to lie.Years ago, he would have easily said that it was impossible for him to lie, as he found it limiting in the way that he could handle the future. Lying almost always led to more lying.Examples of how difficult Bo found lying can be carefully observed in the way that he told the first boy that he had ever liked that he was in love with him. Of course, at the time he was eleven years old and did not understand the concept of sexuality or love, and to some extent he still does not.Another example followed this situation, when he told his parents that he had a date, though it could be barely called that as he was only eleven and could not drive himself
In life, Oscar Michael Torres prefers variance over anything else.A variation in schedule, in plans, even in the way he cooks his eggs. He is not opposed to the way that these changes come about and embraces them whenever he can.Another example, and his personal favorite as a musician, is variation in tempo. His top music genres following after both hip hop and rap, is jazz and blues. Two genres that are most frequently known for their inconsistency and variance in every song.The knowledge that his life is lived in direct opposition to his partner’s life is not missed.Oscar is completely and totally aware of the fact that Bo likes patterns, schedules, and things being planned in advance. Bo prefers symphonies and harmonies, and the occasional rap
Oscar could have easily expected anything else from Bo when he had arrived at the apartment.His first thought after the call was of a break in, because of Lydia’s mention of glass on the floor and a knocked over shelf. The second thing he considered was an incident involving some form of PTSD episode, that something had reminded him of his accident and he was spiraling.Oscar had not expected a meltdown of such magnitude.Both Oscar and Bo had spoken only a few times about some of Bo’s previous meltdowns.Moments where he did not speak for days, and where he could not leave his bed at any point. Times when thinking became too much, and his only solace came in the form of a repeated song on a record player.Oscar had yet to see a moment like that, and the conversation had stemmed solely from the fact that this was almost surely something that would happen.Osca
It was only because of Bo’s dependency on the stability that Oscar provided that the paramedics allowed the smaller man into the back of the ambulance for the ride to the hospital.The female paramedic climbed into the back with Bo and Oscar, and the male took control over driving the car to the nearest hospital.Her practices were methodical, and cautious.“No sirens?” Oscar phrased his request as a question, noting the way that the woman smiled and nodded in confirmation, her expression kind. She turned to the front, repeating it as a command to the man driving the vehicle, he nodded as a reply before shifting the car into drive and pulling away from the curb.It was a comfort to know that the woman continued to be aware of what should be done in this situation, though it was her job to know. It still came as a reassurance, since Oscar was not sure of exactly what to do in relation to B
This is an information chapter.My point for writing this is to provide insight to Oscar-Michael Torres’ relationship with Doctor Bradley Oliver Jones in specific situations that may not appear in my text otherwise.This will be centered around relationship questions provided by another writer.Enjoy.Who is emotionally stronger?It truly depends on the situation and on what emotion the pair is dealing with.When it comes to a negative emotion, like fear or sadness or frustration, Oscar is the stronger one. This is for the main reason that he is able to voice exactly what these emotions are and work through them without the help of anyone, though he welcomes help if it is offered, and knows when to ask for help.Bo has a tendency to push these negative emotions away until they build up and he has a shutdown or, at the worst of times, a
The first words that both Lydia and Oscar shared after their initial meeting on the glass covered floor of Bo’s apartment, was an apology. An apology that was easily dismissed by the shorter man.Oscar hugged her tightly, wrapping his arms around her waist in a comforting way that rivaled the wonderful hugs that Bo would only give on occasion. She felt a sense of peace and calm in his arms, and wondered almost instantly if Bo often felt the same when he was with the man.Lydia easily considered the idea of becoming friends with the man, though she was not sure if it could have ever happened under any other circumstances.Bo would be their main connection from this point on, and the chances of a relationship growing before this beginning connection was slim. Though mainly for the reason that she would not like any more relations within the Broadway world. Her life is so easily full of people in this crowd, she would l
