✧ Hellboy had seen you around and about on the town when he goes out and couldn't help but think "Damn..." He had made it a point to try to see you every time he had gone out, or to go about on the rooftops and try to get to know you a bit better

✧ Hellboy, being an absolute blockhead, didn't think to much about how expressive you were with your hands. He didn't think anything about the possibilities of you being mute

✧ It became a routine to him. He was far too nervous to confront you just yet and feared you running away from him. Then again everyone knew of him so, what did he really have to fear? Everything, even though he was just overreacting

✧ He tried to subtly ask question to Abe, but he was able to see right through him

✧ "Hellboy, you know if you just went up and asked her and sparked a simple conversation it would most liked benefit in your favor. What's not to like about you, besides..." Abe trailed off, concealing a smirk

✧ "Very funny Abe, but for the love of god please help me" He was practically on his knees begging for Abe's advice this once. "Good luck talking to her," Abe left it at that

✧ It took him a bit longer to actually confront you. A few weeks actually. Abe always pushed him a bit when they were all out and tried to get him to muster up some courage, but he kept one thing to himself; Abe knew you where mute, but figured he'd let HB figure that out for himself

✧ HB wasn't completely ready, but knew he couldn't waste anymore time, so he finally decided he was going to approach you today. Of course, after he practiced what he was going to say the whole day before

✧ He worked himself up to going over and talking to you, rehearsing what he was going to say, jumping up and down a bit to get his blood going, and smacking himself in the face. "Come on Red, come on Red..."

✧ You where standing at a market side on the street with a coffee in your hand while the city bustled around you. It was like everything around him but the both of you was in fast forward, and he couldn't help but see just a ray of light on you. He shook it off and bounced his shoulders a bit before strutting over to you

✧ "Don't fuck this up Red or I swear-"

✧ Hellboy stood next to you and leaned his side against the bar top and put his elbow on the counter. His heart raced when you made eye contact with him, looking up from your newspaper and coffee but he stuck his hand out anyways

✧ "The names Hellboy," the line he had practiced for hours in his room in the mirror now seemed so ridiculous, but he was in it to win it now

✧ You smiled at him, and that made him almost melt. You took his hand and shook it firmly, then waved to him. He thought it was a bit strange that you didn't respond until the server handed you your drink, and you signed "Thank you" to him

✧ Hellboy looked all over the place for a second and remembered what Abe had told him earlier, "That sly dog..." he whispered to himself

✧ He saw you give another smirk and look down onto the counter top before covering your mouth as if to subtly laugh. He had set his elbow down in someone food and continued to talk to you without noticing

✧ He swayed his head and groaned "Shhhit.." He picked his arm up and gave it shake, before looking back at you

✧ "You thought that was funny, huh? You should see me back at home"
