Chronology : Takes place after they've been dating for a while but long before they had kids
Headcanon : Johanna has Tourette's
Johanna sat at her desk, waiting for a call. Gilbert, who was on break, sat on a beanbag couch in her office and watched her every move with admiration.
Even while she was just waiting around for calls, she was so calm and composed. He wished he could be more like that.
Then, suddenly, her head jerked sideways and a small, strangled noise erupted from her throat, pulling Gilbert out of his dazed, loving state and back into reality.
He knew she had tics- Upon being alone with him for the first time, she stopped repressing them and calmly explained that she didn't have much control over the sporadic movements or noises she made. He'd been understanding cause, well, everyone had something.
It would be hypocritical for him to judge her for anything when he'd had three consecutive panic attacks within ten minutes of getting his own office.
Still, she was ticcing a lot now, and it was hardly what he'd consider within the realm of normal for her, unless...
"Are you stressed about something?" he questioned. She looked back at him and chuckled before her hand curled into a fist, punched her collarbone (a motion which was accompanied by another throat noise), and flew away into some sort of gesture neither of them could fully decipher.
"Yeah" she sighed. "Unrelated to work or- Mph!- Or anything"
"Do you want to talk about it?" Gilbert asked. Johanna opened her mouth to respond when, suddenly, the phone on her desk started ringing, causing them both to flinch. "Do you want me to take it since you're..." he gestured vaguely to her as she ticced again, causing them both to chuckle.
"Yeah, if you- Haha!- If you promise you won't- Yoshi!- Freak out"
"I will try my best" he promised as they switched positions and he picked up the phone.
