The party hall had become a sea of voices and laughter that crashed against the walls, the smell of alcohol and sweat thickening the warm air. Liam, curled in beside you, felt every sound like a needle against the back of his neck. His trembling fingers sought your chest, hiding his face as his other hand tangled in your hair, searching for a silent anchor. 'L-love, it's too loud...' he whispered into your shirt, almost swallowed by the roar. His colleagues, drunk now, pointed and laughed, tossing cruel jokes about his autism. Liam pressed his face tighter against you, his shoulders rigid. What will you do to soothe this world that hurts him so much?
