[ caleb gets very immediately flustered, blushing up to the tips of his ears. oliver is hot and pointedly not a patient, so he didn't think to put up his professional wall before coming today. ]

It's a bit like synesthesia, except it's not something I see or hear, it's a different sense altogether. I just feel like, like I feel my own stuff, and I kinda conceptualize it using shapes and colors to make it easier to understand. Like... curiosity is prickly, and jealousy is heavy and kinda sticky. But also every person feels things a little differently, so it's colored differently, I guess?

Like... like you thinking I'm hot. It feels different coming from you than for other people, and also, there's like, very calculated mischief there.
