i always wonder what would NH boys react to their lovers having a very close boy best friend. would they be jealous or what.
Interesting ask ! I kept the friends' pronouns gender neutral !
A bit annoyed at how close you are to your friend, not exactly at you, but he never had that type of bond with someone and it confuses him
Lowkey believes your friend has feelings for you, but he won't say a thing at first
But if he sees you two talking, he might put his arm around you just to make things clear
He's just a bit jealous
Your friend is unfazed
I'm going to be honest, this might cause an arguement between you two.
Well not exactly cause the arguement, but he will definitely bring it up during it.
You have to remind him that you're dating him and not your friend.
And that you're friend is like a sibling to you since you two pratically grew up together. Nothing else.
That will snap him out of his jealousy and he will probably be embarassed of not being more mature about his own insecurities
It'll take him a few weeks, but he will slowly warm up to your friend
Frow then on, he treats your best friend as HIS best friend.
Yes you're clearly third-wheeling their bromance at one point
Doesn't like it.
He won't tell you anything because he's too closed off to try to talk about his feelings
And he's lowkey nervous that you will realise you found someone better.
He feels the same jealousy that he feels about Lucia when they get compared
Absolutely hates it. He feels like he's replaceable and it stings.
He wants to be your best friend too
If you talk about your friend, he will get snappy and eventually he will try to avoid the topic altogether
And then avoids you
He doesn't know how to process his own feelings and does what he does best : pushing people away.
You will have to corner him and ask what's wrong and he will probably break down right there
At first, he sounds angry, but as he starts to tear up you can clearly see that it's not that.
He's not upset about your friend being close to you or anything
He's just feeling like he's living again all the moments where he was compared to his older brother and seen as a place holder for him
You will need to calm him down and reassure him that it's not the case
After that, he will become somewhat friendly with your friend, but he won't seek their contact either. He's just not a very social person
And he learns to open up more about his feelings to you
Doesn't really care nor mind it at first.
So what if you have a friend? As long as they aren't as annoying as his brothers it's fine.
The start of the problem comes from your friend.
Let's be honest, your friend probably don't trust him AT ALL and he can feel it when they talk to him
He knows it's a deserved feeling, but he's still annoyed by them anyway.
He probably makes condescending remarks to them when they bring up any of their doubts or suspicions about him.
Mefy will probably try to manipulate you into ditching your friend or into taking his side about the oncurring arguement.
Of course, knowing very well his tactics by now, you see right through him and it quickly escalates into an arguement.
He tries to play innocent and you will have to bring some sense into his head
He probably started to revert back to his old personality and once he realises he goes quiet in a blink.
It will take him time to form his words correctly and then he will give you an apology
He won't start to be nice to your friend after that, but you can see that the jabs he says to them are no longer mean-spirited and instead simply teasing or playful
Probably the most mature out of all the characters.
He's happy that you have someone to rely on and doesn't mind one bit that you two have such a close relationship
Kaim isn't a fan of strangers, but for you he would love to meet your friend
If he enjoys their presence he will simply tell you that you have a nice friend
If he finds them rude or doesn't enjoy spending time with them, he will tell you that he would rather spend alone time with you next time.
He's really upfront about his opinion of your friend, but will never try to persuade you to stop hanging out with them or even insult them
If they make you happy, then it's not his business
Of course, if he ever wishes to spend more alone time with you or has doubts about your friend's potential feelings for you, he will be direct but tactful about it
He won't make any assumptions, but if he has questions he won't hesitate to ask them
Overall, he's pretty chill about it and if there's any issues he won't hide them.
Biggest sweetheart ever.
He's happy that you have such a close friend to rely on!
He's a bit envious as he doesn't have any close friends due to his reaper disease
But even so, he won't ever try to destroy your friendship with your best friend
Unlike some people
If you get into a fight with your friend, he tries to meditate things and have you two make up
He doesn't want to see you upset
I feel like he might feel akward around your friend since he has very low self-confidence
But he's still very glad that you love him enough to make him meet other people in your life!!!
If your friend looks like they don't like him, he might beat himself up for it
Please reassure him
He doesn't like your friend
He doesn't like anybody
At first, he's annoyed to have to "share" your attention and he might huff or even make snappy remarks about your friend in their back
He would also make sarcastic comments at them in their face once they meet
He just doesn't like people, can you really blame him
If you argue about his comportement, he will simply dismiss you and call you dramatic
He might even grow some suspicions about you cheating on him with your friend
He tries to dismiss the idea, but it's still there
What if you realise that there's better than him on the market?
And in the heat of the arguement he might even throw those accusations at your face
Even if he knows you would never want to hurt him
It doesn't end well and you leave the room to avoid pursuing the arguement
He will come later to apologise to you and explain himself
You two will have a serious talk about his accusations and boundaries
while he will not apologise to your friend, he will make efforts to sound less rude when talking to them
Doesn't seek them out though and would rather spend alone them with you than being around them
But if you're happy, he will make an effort.
Do I really need to elaborate?
If you played his route, you KNOW it doesn't go well at all the moment he will learn about your friend's existence
He's jealous and possessive
To such a large extent that it's almost toxic
He's already jealous enough when Noel and you hang out together, but now...
He doesn't even know your friend.
Absolutely loathes them and has to restrain himself from insulting them each time you talk about them
He's convinced your friend is trying to take you away
He ends up blowing up and screaming, accusing your friend of trying to get in your pants when you ask him why he's so snappy
It really doesn't go well.
Noel and Mikael have to come see what is happening because of how loud the both of you are.
You end up going to sleep in your old room while he stays there, staring blankly at the wall with Noel staring at him
Inception
At first he's convinced he's right and that you're just being naive
why else would your friend and you be so close?
It takes him days to think over the situation and analyse where it went wrong. He will even ask Noel for his opinion
Noel just looks so done with his life
When he realises how over the top his reaction was and how you seemed to avoid him at all costs...He goes to your room and apologises
It's up to you if you decide to accept his apology
If you do, you two will have to work a lot on mutual trust and healthy communication
He will be on edge, scared to lose you again
If you make him meet your friend, he will wrap his arm around your waist and hover quietly around you.
But he will play nice since they seem to make you happy
Jealous.
Not because he thinks you're cheating on him or that your friend is secretly in love with you.
No, because he feels like he doesn't sees you as much as usually when you go see your friend.
He doesn't know how to explain how he's feeling, so he will stay quiet. But you can see that something is bothering him.
If he meets your friend before you have the chance to prod him, he will glare at them and stay around you.
It becomes painfully obvious what was the issue when you see his comportement around your friend.
You will have to ask him to explain how he's feeling and why
It'll be hard and he will search his words, but once he does, he firmly states his problem.
Please reassure him, Noel has big abandonment issues and he would break if you were to leave him.
He will understand that his actions were not ok when you explain to him that you did not like his comportement and he will apologise for making you upset
He will probably take some herbs to give your friend next time he sees them as an apology gift
He's not jealous, not angry...
He's sad but happy for you
His heart can't decide if he's happy that you are happy as well
Or if he's sad that he feels like you finally found someone better suited for you
He doesn't think he deserves you and if he feels like you might be better off with your friend, he might try to subtly get the two of you together.
So romantic
When you notice this, it hits you in the face like a truck and it stings
You will have to knock some sense into him and tell him how stupid he is
You are dating HIM. You love HIM. Not your friend.
It will take some time for him to really believe that you love HIM instead of anyone else.
He will apologise and try his hardest to change his self-loathing mindset.
Once you make him meet your friend, he feels a bit out of place, but...
He sees you smile and having fun with both him and your friend
and his heart melts
He truly does love you and for once, he will allow himself to be selfish and keep you arouung him.
The disapointement I feel each time I spam talk to Wyll and no new dialogue appears even though I did absolutely nothing to trigger it
I'm working on two of my NH asks ATM, sorry for the longer delay I'm super sleepy because of work and insomnia!! Also it's been a couple of nights that my cats have been waking me up.
Hi!I love Nightmare Harem and your writing!Could we get Noel and Mikael cuddling headcanonns or story? (Romantic)🥰
I haven't written for NH for so long and it was quite hard for me to do it so I hope it's up to your standards <33
Listen he likes cuddling, it's great ! Really!
Truly....great.
Amazing.
Can you let go of him now ? It's been already 5 minutes...
During the night he's a big cuddler and you will start every morning crushed under his weight intertwined together...But the moment the day begins, forget about it.
He's not able to sit still long enough when he's awake to cuddle. It's not that he doesn't enjoy it, it's just...not practical.
When you actually cuddle for real when he's not tired or restless, he will often turn it into a make-out session...which leads to more
And after the ''more'', you get your cuddles ! Isn't that great ?!
If he's feeling lazy, he WILL cuddle you, but not in the cute ''oh darling come here'' and more in the ''oh darling here I come!''
He flops onto you and you better hope you're comfortable because he won't move until he gets more energy
You might need to scream for help
On one hand, he's a busy man and he honestly does not want to laze around all day...On the other the castle is quite cold and he's the type of person to have ice blocks instead of hands.
If Ricardo is around, he won't initiate anything more than slight touches. He's not a fan of PDA
When you two are alone though...He will shove his cold icicles fingers under your shirt for warmth.
If you squeak at the sudden cold feeling, he will be scoffing and call you dramatic
Despite his cold exterior, he's got a soft spot for you and will be very gentle unlike his counterpart
Likes to lay down with your head on his chest.
At the beginning of your relationship, he won't let you touch his hair, but later on he will love having you caress it softly
Might even be the little spoon when he's really tired
He's not ashamed of it though
His favorite position is when you guys lay face to face with your hands intertwined
He likes to look into your eyes
Probably the biggest cuddler in this list. Noel is blunt and he won't hide the fact that he enjoys your touch
Doesn't care who is there, if he wants to cuddle you better sit down and let him latch onto you
Might have you sit between his legs while he brushes your hair sometimes
This guy keeps his knives on him at all time so be prepared to have the hard handle dig into your side when he hugs you
He won't let you cuddle him in the morning due to him having multiple tasks to do and he knows that if he lets you curl against his side he might as well lose his job...But when he finishes all his tasks he will drape himself over you and nozzle into your neck.
Sometimes I sit down and think about Mikael and Lucia...
And I wonder if they started a war on Nightmare just to be petty
i have no motivation whatsoever so PLEASE send me questions, asks or reqs from: -bullet train -ahs (murder house) -the first shadow -anna karenina (2012) -a couple of fruits (i miss them okay?) -stranger things -blade runner -i'm feeling quite gladiator today too....
PLEASE SEND REQUESTSSS!
If NH boys have a youtube channel. What kind of content would they do, and how many subscribers do you think they have? And what kind of silly drama they might involve in? Anyway, have a nice day/night xD
This has to be one of my favorites asks so far, thank you for giving me this opportunity to absolutely TRASH those boys.
Disclaimer: This post contains mentions of IRL shipping for the characters(Basically their followers ship them with other people.) and mentions of potential grooming on Ricardo's part (Because it's Ricardo).
I do not condemn in any shape or form grooming or IRL ships. Those scenarios are only made as my own interpretations of a potential reality and are not meant to encourage any of those things. See them as a way to denounce it.
𝕃𝕦𝕔𝕚𝕒 probably has one of those channels where he does stupid challenges. It started off as a blurry video of him filming Mikael and their homeroom teacher arguing when they were younger (while you could clearly hear him giggling in the background) and it slowly became a channel of pranks and challenges to do to others. Fans became super involved in it and Mikael was a very common occurences in the videos. People started to speculate on their relationship and probably started shipping them. When they stopped talking, everyone was super upset and even though there was never an official statement, people still try to have them reconciliate. Mikael's followers love to come insult Lucia in his comments.
𝕃𝕖𝕧𝕪 he definitely has a channel about history or war strategies. He's absolutely passionate about it, but he doesn't have a lot of followers. His channel is very niche and the few fans he has are very loyal and are just as passionate about the subject than him. He loves his channel so much and is very proud of his content.Lucia probably leaked informations about him being his younger brother in one of his videos and his fans FLOODED Levy's usually calm comment's section. Levy was livid and probably flamed and trashed Lucia in a comment under one of Lucia's prank videos which started a drama between the two communauties. He probably was criticised for being too "rude" to his fans and followers by other people on the internet, but none of his actual followers take offense at it since they know he's simply very akward. Lucia definitely had to make a video to calm down his fans since they had started to harass Levy online.
𝕄𝕖𝕗𝕪 has probably two different channels. One of them is him making inspirationnal messages to his followers and the other is him spreading gossip and destroying people's reputations in their back. Of course the second channel is totally anonym and nobody knows it's him. He totally leaked Lucia's adress to Mikael's fan to see chaos unfold. Unfortunately for him, this means he's now forced to see trolls on his front lawn. That's what happen when you dox your own brother! A small community on reddit is actually ver suspicious of him and they have a bunch of conspiracy theories about his first channel. People probably tried to find out who was the creator of his second channel but they were all doxed before they could find out who it is...Strange. He's the prime initiator of most online dramas. For example, he was the one who started the Lucia×Mikael shipping war and the Oswald hate train.
𝕂𝕒𝕚𝕞 clearly has a channel to teach home economics to people. I refuse to believe he doesn't have one. He's probably the father figure of thousands of teenagers or young adults who were never thought how to cook or do their laundry properly. There is two type of people who follow him: the people who are struggling to do their dinner and need a tutorial and/or the people who cannot fall asleep at 3 am and watch his videos because they're satisfying to look at...And also because of his deep soft voice. He probably answer some questions in his comments section when people ask nicely. He never shows his face in his videos because he's a very private person and doesn't want to show his face to strangers.
𝕆𝕤𝕨𝕒𝕝𝕕 probably has a channel about gardening. Just like Levy's, his community is very niche. However unlike Levy, Oswald is always very kind and gentle with his followers and takes the time everyday to answer the most comments possible. He will sometimes makes appearances in Kaim's or Kurt's videos and will often talk about them in his own. Oswald doesn't show much of his face, but he doesn't mind showing it to his followers, he considers them his friends. I feel like he is bond to be involved in an internet drama, not because of how he acts or what he does, but because he has the reaper disease and as we know, people in nightmare are full of prejudices against demons affected by it. So yes, I think once some people discover his channel and recognise his face, they start to spread hate about him and basically try to cancel him. This makes him probably even more famous online (not for the good reasons though) and he probably has to go on a hiatus because his mental health is worsening. Redditors might even start conspiracy theories about him(Mefy and Ricardo had a blast with that.)...It all goes for the worse until Lucia and Kaim intervene and people calm down. When he goes back online, his follower count has tripled and his comments are closely monitored by Kaim.
𝕂𝕦𝕣𝕥 would have a channel dedicated only to his bird and his daily life.If you played Levy's route you know which bird I am talking about. It probably started off as a very bad edit of all the baby pics of his bird that he posted on youtube. There were maybe 2 likes on his video and they were from Kaim and Oswald. Both of the men will comment on every single one of his videos just to encourage him. When Lucia learns about Kurt's channel, he will absolutely ask his followers to go check it out and soon enough Kurt now has a few hundreds of followers!! He's not regular at all and usually answer most of his comments with emojis, but his fans are there just to see him smile and be happy. It's like the internet all agreed to protect him and cherish him. His account is secretely monitored by Kaim and every single person who says a bad thing about him is blocked + reported. If he needs to, he will use Lucia's name just to get the plateform to ban any hater.
𝕄𝕚𝕜𝕒𝕖𝕝 he probably had a small channel of his own but never posted anything when he was studying at the academy with Lucia. He somehow gained hundreds of followers just by being featured in the other boy's videos. He absolutely hated when Lucia's fans would ship Lucia and him together and it got to the point where he might have started to avoid his best friend... Then, as they grew up, they got into a fight and stopped talking to each other. Mikael started to post some videos about hair care routine and other random stuff and it got the attention of Lucia's fanbase, who started to harass him on a daily basis just to know why he wasn't in Lucia's videos anymore. It made him even more pissed at the demon and he started to throw some snappy comments about him online. He slowly got a reputation of a sassy person and attracted quite the following. He only ever likes a few comments and never answer them. It quickly became a game between him and Lucia to see who could throw the biggest shade at the other. Most of his videos feature Noel in it since the younger man is curious.
ℝ𝕚𝕔𝕒𝕣𝕕𝕠 is a wild card. His channel switches from very obvious NSFW content and thirst traps to pranks to advices on how to get fit or flirt with people(the latter is very dubious and has a very low success rate.). His channel is messy, just like him. Most of his fanbase are probably incels or thirsty people.I'm not sure weither he would be a very aggressive feminist and his followers ignore it or just an incel himself. There is no in-between.I feel like he might have been cancelled for rumors of him chatting with younger fans (~18 yo, he still has some boundaries apparently) in explicit contexts ,for saying some very inapropriate jokes and for being a main instigator in the Oswald's harassement era.He loves to poke fun at Mikael for the whole Lucia situation. His sextape was clearly leaked either by himself or by Mefy after he trashtalked his second channel. Either way, he's proud of it.
ℕ𝕠𝕖𝕝 probably had a joint channel with Oswald when he was younger but they eventually split after their falling off. Noel still posts about his garden and medecinal remedies, but he now focuses on hairstyling. If you played his route, you know he's a hairdresser at heart. He makes frequent appearances in both Mikael's (willingly) and Ricardo's (unwillingly) videos. He definitely has a video of him cutting off Ricardo's hair in his sleep and it went viral. Noel isn't active at all. He will post a video when he feels like it and the quality of it will be surprisingly good (4k shots of Mikael's new haircut!) and then he will be gone for weeks. He doesn't answer or like any of his comments and if anyone asks if he was Oswald's channel's co-founder, their comment is immediately deleted and their address leaked. When the whole Oswald-reaper drama happened, Noel took Oswald's side at the surprise of many of his fans who thought they despised each other.
𝕃𝕦𝕔𝕒𝕤 posted exactly 2 videos in his career as a youtuber. One of them was deleted by the plateform due to privacy breach. Nobody knows what it contened as it was deleted almost immediately after it was published. The second one is a short blurry footage of the forest as he admires very deadly but pretty flowers. It somehow became one of the most popular videos on the internet and set a trend of people searching and going to that exact spot in order to try and imitate the original video. He has near a million of followers hoping to see new content despite his last (and almost unique) video being posted years ago. His comments' section is filled with people asking for when he will come back, love declarations and other weird comments. No one ever heard his voice or saw a single part of his body in his videos, only his breathing. (Yes there is fanfictions of this mysterious man x Y/N). In reality Lucas simply forgot his password and was never able to log in his channel again, leaving his fans to wonder about his identity and his deleted secret video....

CASTIEL
Being realistic, at first he was a bit mean because he didn’t know how to have patience.
When you both met in high school, he didn’t know you existed because you never talked to him, and there was a good reason after all. It wasn’t until you both were in a team project that he got to know of your existence and realized that you were actually deaf. He tried calling your attention a few times, even yelling at you, but there was no use. Lysander had to inform him about your condition when he saw how mad the red-haired guy was getting.
Castiel felt bad for thinking you were a clumsy shy person. He tried to be patient, but when he was in high school, his patience was notorious thanks to the lack of it. He waved at you to call for your attention and communicate with you by basic signs, like pointing at some stuff, nodding or shaking his head.
He ended up using his phone to communicate with you through messages, and there he realized that you were an interesting person after all.
He is observant so he analyzed the way people communicated with you, being aware that he had to face you directly and get your attention.
During his free time he learns sign language to have more communication with you, but also to impress you a little. He mainly did it because he also thought that it’d be more comfortable for you if he was more communicative in person than in messages, as he used to be.
He used to beat up those who dared to make fun of you when you weren’t looking at them.
So sometimes you’d see that Castiel was missing for a week, and he’d simply say that it was because he was sick or something. He wants to protect you from the negativity and bullshit of other people.
With years the communication got more fluent and he definitely didn’t regret learning sign language for you.
He may get confused with some signs at first, using them wrongly and accidentally saying the wrong stuff. To fail like that made him really embarrassed…
He also worked his patience thanks to your relationship and because he loves you and respects you enough to not mind repeating stuff in sign language when he accidentally tried to vocally talk to you first.
He sometimes is glad that you are deaf so he can practice some songs with his guitar late at night. He’d warn first that he would go to sleep late as he’d be practicing for future concerts.
Just so you know that he is there, he keeps a hand on your left shoulder or the small of your back. It is very characteristic of him , so you quickly realize it is him who is touching you.
Whenever you both are in public and someone tries to talk to you, without knowing about your condition, he basically translates it to you after they are done speaking.
NATHANIEL
When you first came to high school, he was well informed about your condition and he had no problem adapting to it. When he got the knowledge about it, he practiced sign language for the day you came to school. He is surprisingly good at it and you were relieved that there was someone in there who knew how to communicate with you.
He made you feel welcomed there, and that was his main goal. He knew that his sister would probably make fun of you and he made sure to stop her before she did anything. If anyone dared to make fun of you, he’d gladly send them to receive a scolding from the director.
Nathaniel has a natural charm which made you feel safe as the first person that helped you to know the school better, so you relied on his company.
He has trained his patience thanks to his sister, and not only that but he can be patient when he likes what he is doing. When he acknowledges that his company is positively received by you, he’d be even more glad to help you with anything you may need.
Whenever there is a third participant in the conversation, he has gotten used to talking and using sign language at the same time so both of you and the other person can get the information at the instant.
Even years later, the condition of you being deaf has not been any problem for any of you. Sometimes he likes to be in a quiet environment, and knowing he is beside someone who brings him peace and is not yelling just as the household he used to stand it’s simply perfect.
He wouldn’t even allow you to think less of yourself for being deaf, even if it has its difficulties. You are still a lovely person and that is the only thing that matters to him.
There is a subtle smile on his face every time he is focusing his attention on you. He gets lost mid-sentence when he is signing to you, simply because he got distracted by your beauty. It is amusing to see how he gets confused with the signs and then excuses himself by saying that you are too beautiful for his attention.
He is very attentive, so it is easy to get his attention whenever you need something.
LYSANDER
He knew there was a new student who was deaf, but he had no interest in getting to know you at first. He is quite the introvert and prefers to be on his own, as he also finds it difficult to take the initiative.
Still, he was aware that maybe you were lost during the first weeks, and more in a place where people weren’t used to communicating through sign language. He himself didn’t know really well how to communicate like that, but he used his famous notebook to talk with you, even if he lost it lots of times.
You will, once again, be a victim of his notebook research. There is no escape.
He is extremely patient and attentive when it comes to communication. He would like to learn sign language directly from you, but he would also end up learning it on his own so he doesn’t bother you that much during your free time.
At first he might seem really confused when not being able to identify too good your signs, so you’d have to be slow and patient as well.
He always carries a notebook around in case his knowledge fails to let him communicate with you. It is quite cute how he gets frustrated when he doesn’t remember a sign correctly.
Hey but it is a truly nice detail of him to dedicate a big part of his notebook to you, as he will leave some white sheets to write things to you. During class you two would communicate like that and fortunately teachers wouldn’t mind as they know what his intentions are after all.
With years, he will make sure to make his knowledge of sign language more fluent, and you might find him some days learning on his own.
He admires your strength in a world where not many people will be able to communicate with you due to the lack of knowledge of sign language.
Whenever he realizes someone is judging you, he’ll wrap an arm around your waist and make sure that you keep his attention on him so you ignore them.
In the future, after high school, he will check his notebook to see the first times he communicated with you before he learnt sign language, smiling at the little conversations you had through a simple pen and a paper.
KENTIN
He is your childhood best friend and has grown up learning how to communicate as you also learnt sign language, so you both basically learnt at the same time. He has always been patient and good to you.
Communication has been no problem since the beginning with him!
Maybe when you both were little kids there were a lot of misunderstandings because… well, you both were kids.
His eyes were always on you, making sure you didn’t feel left out at any moment and that you could understand everything others’ said.
Even after the military school he kept being the same loving guy as always (I love him). But now he had more confidence that if anyone dared to laugh at you, they’d pay it hard later.
Kentin wants to make sure you are comfortable and happy no matter your condition. Because being conditioned to hear doesn't mean that you do not deserve to be happy or not enjoy your life. He is well aware of your insecurity of not being able to hear, but you are still a human who doesn't have the fault of having been born this way. You are even more human than other humans. Kentin will be there whenever you overthink about your condition making you less. He believes you are a loving person and will definitely prove that you can enjoy the experiences that life offers!
He knows how to call your attention and when you want his, and whenever you ask for his, he drops everything he is doing to check on you.
He might not have patience with everyone, but his patience never ends when it comes to you.
He is kind of scared of something happening to you when you go outside on your own since you can’t hear anything. That's why whenever you are going out he begs you to please look around calmly and be truly careful with the people and cars around you. He doesn't want to overwhelm you by always being beside you, but if he can accompany you wherever you want, he'd be more relaxed.
ARMIN
The first time he tried to talk to you in class, and he literally was even yelling to the point everyone turned around to see him like ???
You realized something was happening when everyone turned around in a certain direction. When you turned around to check what was happening, you saw Armin frowning and looking at you as he moved his lips but without making any sound. You found yourself in the same situation as other times in which a person talked to you without knowing you’re deaf. You signed him and at first, he didn’t even realize you meant that you are deaf, until other classmates told him.
He felt truly sorry when he realized he was angrily calling for your attention when you didn’t hear a single thing from him.
He knows nothing about sign language and at first the communication would be through reading his lips or messages through the phone. Sometimes he forgot that you were deaf, making it difficult to communicate, and more when he spoke so fast that you found it harder to read his lips.
Still, he found comfort and liking in your company.
He likes it when you are the one teaching him sign language, even if he is lazy. Still, he wants to communicate comfortably with you and feels like he owes you all the comfort he can give you.
He is bad with it… even years later. There is basic communication, and he makes his deepest effort on learning it correctly because he loves you and wants you to be good in your relationship.
The communication will mainly be through writing messages and his clumsy sign language. He understands you better than signing himself. He probably signs in the wrong order most of the time, but you get to understand him most of the time.
The first things he learnt to say were mainly stuff related to videogames…
One of the good things is that when you are sleeping and he is playing games late at night, he gets to yell at people and curse them with all his rage. He used to get scolded by his parents or Alexy, and now he can be free to scream with no fear. Even though if you hear just a little, he will be respectful and not yell because he definitely doesn’t want to disturb your sleep.
RAYAN
The moment he knew there was a student in his class who was deaf, he had no problem with it and found it exciting that he was finally able to put in practice his knowledge of sign language. I believe that he is the kind of person to join random classes such as cooking, learning languages, learning how to do some creative stuff… simply to spend his time and improve his skills.
One of the very first classes he joined randomly was sign language and he found interest in it. When he got you as his student, he had no problem. There was barely a barrier with communication.
As he did the class he was also signing so you understood from him. Sometimes he got quiet to sign, forgetting about speaking because he was focused on communicating with you and keeping your attention.
During your relationship, things go slow as a regular one. He considers that your condition doesn’t stop him from anything in particular. He can still have reading dates with you, go to the museum with you, go have a coffee with you… And mainly, he can have a good laugh with you too.
Just as Nathaniel, whenever he communicates with a third person and you are there, he naturally translates his words into sign language. Even if he isn't a part of a conversation and you look at him with an expression of “help me” since the other person doesn’t know that you are deaf, he will help you to understand.
He will never interpret any bad thing that has been said about you. He simply makes the conversation end and then you two go to somewhere else that’s nicer.
If you like reading, he shares his books with you. You will find small notes in the sides of the text, indirectly commenting some stuff to you.
If you don’t have hearing aids yet, he will get them for you. He wants your deepest wishes to become true no matter what. Yet whenever you wear them he’ll forget that you wear them and will keep signing to you.
HYUN
When he met you in the Cozy Bear Café, he thought that you hated him since you ‘ignored’ him. He became quite sad and confused at first, trying to call your attention but seeing that you were looking at the other side. It wasn’t until he dared to approach more and you signed to him that you couldn’t hear that he realized what happened.
It was a big relief for him to know that you didn’t hate him, he simply wasn’t able to get your attention as good as he’d like.
Unfortunately he found himself not knowing truly well how to communicate with you, and his main option would be through the notepad of the café, where he’d talk to you.
Hyun hated to be very nervous around you because he didn’t want to make you feel ignored or bad because he didn’t communicate with you. He wanted to be around you more. He wanted to be someone you could rely on no matter what.
He admires your effort when you work in the Café and your patience with everyone. He gives you small notes of compliments to cheer you up as you work as he finds endearing your presence.
He felt weird at the beginning with the awkward silence there was in the environment, but he got used to it and definitely enjoyed sitting beside you with no fear of being in silence. He finds your breathing comforting.
He joined signing language classes even if he mainly communicates through notes and physical contact.
Hyun has no fear in scolding your boss if she ever dares to make any comment or consider you less just because you are deaf. You are one more in the work, your dignity deserves to be respected.
He confessed to you with a bucket of flowers and a small note that said “I like you a lot” with some hearts drawn around. It was pretty cheesy of him but it was cute to see him blush as never before during that moment.
Whenever he goes to work he leaves a note in your nightstand like ‘have a nice day!’, ‘make sure to eat and drink properly’...
Whenever you aren’t wearing your hearing aids, he’d simply take advantage to mutter how beautiful you were as you were giving him your back. He admires you like a fool in love.
Wearing hearing aids would be an easier way to communicate between you and Hyun, as he’d be able to talk and also to understand your signs clumsily. He’ll always repeat what you signed in a confused tone to check if he got it right.
PRIYA
She is very observant, so when she sees you from afar that you sign to another classmate that you are deaf, she simply keeps it in mind for the moment she needs to communicate something to you.
When she first communicates with you, she goes directly in front of you to get your attention and with that kind and sweet smile of hers she starts signing at you.
Just like Rayan, Priya decided to learn sign language simply because she was interested in learning it, and also because she thought that knowing it would open opportunities for her to get to know more people and make deaf people feel included when she was around.
Oh and thanks to this knowledge she got to meet you and she will always be satisfied with learning sign language.
Things do not really change in your relationship due to your condition. She keeps communicating with you naturally and believes that you being deaf isn’t a limit in your relationship.
She will save with you, giving you a part of his money if you do not have hearing aids because she would like you to hear about the good things life has, just as the sounds of nature or some good music. She is aware that it is overwhelming to wear hearing aids when you aren’t used and then you suddenly hear everything.
Priya is always attentive to your reactions and your feelings, so the moment she sees you being anxious or something about your state, she’s gonna bring you to somewhere more calm so you can relax and rest your ears.
She has a lot of words to say when someone disrespects you. She will argue for as long as needed until that person apologizes to you and she signs you to not forgive them because they do not deserve it.
With Priya your dignity and self-being will always be protected because she will make sure you are alright and not affected by any of this.

Toby- Lemon
Michael- Tangerine
It had been three weeks since Michael and Toby killing their own foster father had been seen by Ashley, and the small group of teenagers had become inseparable, constantly hanging out at any moment. It was fine and full of hysterical laughter whenever it was the whole trio, but when it was just Michael and Ashley, the air was always thick with unsaid words.
"Right, urm Ashley- you go with...Michael, maybe working with a more morbid student might help you actually do the dissection" Their biology teacher rattled on, pairing up students for the sheep's heart dissection; Ashley was well known in the school for one thing only, being the girl who tried to give a very dead rat CPR, earning her the nickname Rat girl, and even teens going as far as putting dead roadkill in her locker.
Michael perked up from trying to break the ink cartridge of his pen when he heard this, and he smiled to himself, he watched out the corner of his eye as she picked up her things and went to sit next to him.
"Hi." Michael said awkwardly, moving his things off of the other seat so that she could sit down easily.
"Hey." Ashley responded with a smile, placing her pencil case down beside his, well his was just a small pile of pens he had stuffed in his blazer and put on the desk, whilst hers was a light red fabric case with doodles all over it, including a little heart with an arrow. "Look, I don't think i can do the dissection-"
"Yeah i gathered that much- i'll just do it." He shrugged lightly, unbothered by the fact she wouldn't want to do anything, she was more happy about the fact he was getting to talk to her again.
Michael stood up, taking off his school blazer (which was already scuffed and marked, so it wouldn't really have made a difference if he had kept it on or not) and put on a pair of surgical gloves, throwing the other pair to Ashley.
He grabbed the scalpel, and began to cut almost scarily neat lines in the sheep's heart, whilst Ashley watched with wide eyes, slightly horrified and slightly amazed. She knew what he had done before, but this was weirdly precise.
Toby, who had been working with some random guy, noticed this and caught on quite quickly, coughing obnoxiously loud to try and make Michael realize how much of a serial killer he looked right now.
When Michael looked up, the two exchanged almost annoyed glances, before he realized what he was doing, and shot Ashley an apologetic smile. "Sorry-"
"No, it's fine honestly, I'm just glad i don't have to do it- and you're real at it good too, so that's a bonus!" She shook her head, looking at him.
The two locked eyes again, it was just like the interaction from the day prior, (probably less romantic due to the knife in his hand, and the fact she looked like she would be ill because of the dead animal lung) and Michael got the same feeling he had done last time, as if his heart was going to come out of his mouth, whereas this time they were both looking at each other, not just him at her. But just like last time, they got interrupted.
"Oi Mikey! You coming to mine tonight? Toby's coming- and you can bring rat girl if you want!" A voice called out, it belonged to Ted, one of the more well off kids in the school, who hung out with the twins sometimes, he was a bit rude though, and stunk of a fancy Lynx aftershave.
That snapped them both out of it, and they turned to look at the guy. Michael spoke up, slightly annoyed by the voice, "Yeah- yeah whatever i'll come, and she will too." After a moment, when Ted had turned back around, he muttered to himself and her. "Fucking prick."
Ashley laughed softly, and took the scalpel out of his hand, placing it back down onto the board. "You look like Patrick Bateman doing that." She commented, passing him the other knife to finish off quickly the practical.
"I'm way slicker than Patrick Bateman." He glanced at her, letting out a small scoff at his comment, "You are coming to this party, right? You don't have to-"
"I will, yeah- even if it's tosser Teddy hosting it." She laughed, and so did he at the name she referred to him as, she had lots of nicknames for people, it was almost a defense mechanism because of all of the bullying. She wouldn't admit this to him, but until recently, she had called him maladjusted Michael, because of his inability to fit in, which actually she couldn't either in all fairness.
"You don't hold back at all, you know that right?" Michael raised an eyebrow as he finished the dissection, cleaning up the tools with an eerily neat approach.
"She does not!" Toby called out from the other side of the room, laughing.
✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦
"So, what do people do at these things?" Ashley asked as the three walked down the street and out of their apartment building that evening, down the road to find Ted's house.
"Parties? Uhhh- get drunk and make out." Toby replied quite blatantly, signalling to the bag of spirits and vodka they were taking with them to the place.
"And smoke, and scream, and ruin the house- it's real fun, i swear- as long as it's not your own house." Michael added on, shaking the packet of cigarettes in his hand, none of them noticed the shadowy figure lurking a few metres behind them, they were all too loud anyway to have heard the footsteps, or the shutter of the camera as it flicked photos of the three.
"Just sounds like what i do on a daily basis- minus making out." Ashley commented, crossing her arms as the group continued to walk.
"Yeah, but the guy hosting the party is a fucking wanker." Michael shrugged as he spoke.
"And you're a fucking wanker too, Mikey" Toby jabbed and laughed, dodging a punch, they looked a very strange group, due to the fact that they were all dressed very differently:
Michael wore baggy black jeans, with a white shirt (the top few unbuttoned) and a thin black tie loosely around it, topped off with a few golden rings on his fingers
Toby had on a pair of beige cargo pants, with a red graphic tee for the band maroon 5, circular framed blue sunglasses, and checkered black and white muddy vans.
Finally, Ash wore a pink vest with a purple mesh tee over it, a grey skirt with a chunky belt, black tights, and patent leather shoes, with parts of her hair in small ponytails on the top of her head.
✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦
When they arrived at the house, Michael knocked on the door first, and was greeted by Ted, who looked them up and down, before half-hugging Michael and letting them all in.
The house was HUGE, the biggest either of three teens had been in, so probably not that impressive, but still big. There was plants- real ones, not the tacky decorative ones from Home Bargains, and their were professional family photos on the wall, Ash had to fight the urge to throw a smirnoff ice bottle at Ted's still face in them.
Further into the house, in the white pristine kitchen, was practically at least half of their year at school, all raving and shouting, some huddled in the corners with their partners, others lingering around the snack table (where a few bottles of fiji water sat), or singing badly along to the music that was playing through the speakers; it wasn't really where Ashley belonged, so she decided to take a large swig of the nearest glass of pure Vodka she could find, letting the alcohol rush to her head.
Toby seemed to be enjoying himself more, he had always been referred to as the class clown, and this did not end out of school hours, with him already making people laugh and messing about within five minutes of being here, after placing the plastic bag down on the table.
Michael, on the other hand, seemed fairly unsure of what to do, sure, he knew people, he was pretty cool too, but, he would've liked it more if he was reading Crime and Punishment at home right now, not having to deal with some rich kid's house party.
"This party is...interesting." Ashley stepped beside him, offering him a red solo cup of coca cola and vodka, to which he took and had a sip.
"It's shit." He corrected her and swallowed after he had had a sip, "You look nice though. Like Amy Winehouse or something."
"I don't think i'm that pretty" She laughed and shook her head, leaning on the counter with him stood beside her, both watching the party as they spoke.
"You are, really." He responded, as she took a sip.
"Well, you're not too bad either, you're like a young James Dean."
"Should i be complimented by that?"
"Yes."
"Then i'll take it," He smiled and turned to face her. "I really like hanging out with you, y'know. You're like, the coolest girl i've ever met- you're mysterious and a bit cold, like- Anna Karenina, and you are so beautiful too..."
"Jesus Christ- How much of that drink have you had?"
"I'm serious, Ash, You're really sweet." He spoke, and grabbed her hand with his free one, placing his drink down on the counter behind him, and then putting his hand on her cheek.
He kissed her, he actually kissed Ashley, the world seemed to stop, neither of them could focus on anything else that wasn't the person stood infront of them, she had never been kissed before, and awkwardly shifted to face him properly.
which to a bunch of 16 year olds, was big news, and they all suddenly stopped chatting and turned to stare at them after one chavy girl screamed,
"Michael's fucking kissing rat girl!!!"
Oh bloody hell.
