The intense beeping was going to drive Stu insane. He gets it, the battery is low, now he just has to find the damn things. The slow, continuous beeping was turning to torture and he pulls the aids from his head, sighing as the world goes silent once again. The hearing aids go into his pocket before he goes back to searching for his spare batteries. They weren't in their usual place. Oh no. His searching becomes frantic before he fully gives up and slouches into his office chair. Great, now he was stuck in silence until he could get a new set.

A hand lands on his shoulder, making him leap from the chair in surprise, his long legs twisting around themselves and making him fall forward on the source of the hand. (Y/N)! He immediately hugs her and holds his head against her chest, searching for the soft thumping that had helped him fall asleep for a few months now. He feels her hands go through his hair and he relaxes further, a soft vibration going through his throat as he makes a hum. Once calmed, he stands up and meets her eyes.

(Y/N) had a worried expression as her lips moved frantically. Having learned to read a long time ago, Stu could tell she was asking what was wrong. And she was getting more worried the longer he went without answering.

"My hearing aids, dove." His voice echoed in his head so he knew his words made it out. But to make sure she understood, he also took the aids out of his pocket to show her the blinking red light. She nods and gently takes the aids, placing them on the desk so they don't end up in the washer like everything else Stu puts in his pockets.
Have you already ordered new ones? She signed to him and he slowly shook his head, so she gestured to his desk. He smiled, gave her a soft kiss, then sat down to order a new set of batteries. He felt her starting to give him a massage, her chin on his head and her chest against the back of his head. He leaned back, looking up at her to which she smiled back.

The order went through and they would have to wait at least a week for his aids to be working again. Once that was sorted out, he turned the chair and pulled (Y/N) into his lap. She started to sign again but he was too focused on her lovely eyes to pay attention to her hands. One went to his cheek and he became slightly flustered, it was so easy to get distracted with her near him. Pressing his cheek to the side of her head, he watched what she wanted to say.

What do you want for dinner? Stu chuckled and lightly pressed a finger to her chest, giving a sly smirk. She laughed, he can tell by how her nose wrinkles even though she tried to hide her face. Out of all the sounds in the world, her laugh was definitely up with his favorites. Even if she didn't like it much. She calmed down and tucked her head under his chin. Stu wasn't fond when she wanted to hide her face, but he played with her hair instead of making her look at him. Seriously, what would you like? I was thinking Chinese food. I can order it for us cause I know your order.

Stu nodded as he kept playing with her hair. She pointed at her phone resting on the bed and he leaned over, using the advantage of his long arms to grab the phone and hand it to her. He watched as she called and started to order, reading her lips while she listed what they wanted. Though his brain was focused more on kissing her once she hung up than what she was asking for. And he got that chance after a few minutes. She set the phone down and he abruptly pulled her closer, humming when their lips connect. He could tell she was caught off guard but she reciprocated quickly and his hands started to run up and down her body.

It ended up being a day or two after a week for the batteries, but the couple managed well without the aids. (Y/N) had some mishaps with her sign language, but Stu helped her along when she needed it. He liked that she didn't necessarily coddle him despite the handicap, though she wouldn't let him drive anywhere. The moment he got the aids working again, he started attacking her with tickles so he could get his fill of her wonderful laugh. The laughter eventually dissolved into another of his favorite sounds from her and things went very well from there.
