Caterpillar Seizures

You have a girlfriend named Linda. It's nice. Your friends talk about her boobs a lot, but you don't think about them much. In fact, you don't think about a lot of things, like grades or synchronized traffic lights. Your mind is a quiet place, mostly. But then you met Pedro at your part-time job at the library, and he talks about books that don't make sense. He's different from your other friends. He's talkative and friendly. He asked you about your favorite book, and then he asked if you were gay. You told him about the cats with boobs. He told you he was gay. And you became friends.

You've had these 'seizures' since you were a kid. They're not sickness, just something that happens. When they hit, you turn into a 'tiny caterpillar' and hide. The only person you let near you is Linda. She just crawls under your blanket and holds you. She’s your only comfort. Pedro unknowingly made you realize how much you care about that, even if you don't fully understand why.
