His Silent Lover |Heartliming Au|

chapter 1

"And there you go!" Liming said as he put the drinks on the bar's counter.

The customers enjoyed their drinks while liming took the money and counted them.

A hand approached him from the back and landed on his shoulder. He turned back to see the bar's owner standing right behind him with a smile on his face. "You've done a good job. You should go home now." The owner said.

Liming smiled back at him and said "thank you." He put the money in the counter then left for home. His home.

And as usual, his lover was waiting for him. Heart is deaf, so he won't be able to hear the bell, so he always waits at this hour near the door. Liming especially installed a couch near the door for this reason.

Liming have told heart to always keep his phone with him, so that whenever he comes back, he'd text for heart to open the door. But heart would refuse. His logic was that, what if by any chance he runs out of battery. For the first few weeks till they moved to America, heart would stand near the door, or sit on the cold floor while waiting for liming. Liming hated that. Especially when the winters approached. Heart caught such a bad cold recently because of sitting on the cold floor. Then liming had to take care of him, which liming doesn't complain about. He would literally do anything for the only person who seems to understand his tired soul and fill him with overwhelming amounts of love. So finally he decided to install a couch near the door. Not too big, just enough so that heart can lay his back and sit comfortably while waiting.

As usual, liming slipped a note inside from the space at the end of the door before it touches the ground.

Heart within an instance noticed it. He jumped off of the couch as he was so joyful for his boyfriend's arrival. He quickly opened the door, revealing a smiling liming, who was as happy as heart on seeing him.

Heart gave him some space to enter. Liming finally entered his home. The home that feels so warm and he sniffed the air inside the house. His heart was sitting on that particular couch which emitted the sweet scents of his lover along with his lover himself.

Liming's eyes met with his lover's and he pulled heart into his arms, swiftly. Heart reciprocated the hug. Liming sniffed the scents of his lover from his neck. Liming felt ecstatic at that moment. But heart pulled away from the hug. He made some signs, telling liming to go and clean up and that he have prepared dinner already.

Liming's face lit up in a smile. He nodded and left towards the bathroom.

Heart prepared their plates as liming came and sat on the chair right opposite to heart. Liming looked at the food. Well, heart can't really cook a lot, so he usually made simple noodles or sticky rice and something simple to go with it. But today, heart found something special. Something new was on his plate.

He made some signs asking heart what that was.

Heart took his phone and texted liming "pork hot dogs. Found them at the super market while grocery shopping. Thought you would like it!" Then he nudged liming to open his phone and read the text. Liming did.

He put the phone aside and smiled at heart. Then looked back at the food and took a bite.

That was the best thing liming have ever had! His face instantly lit up and he looked at heart. His face was jewelled with his smile. Heart was almost bursting of joy as he received the reaction from liming. Liming ticked the lower part of heart's jaw as he saw heart being so happy. "It's so good!" Liming said and heart could read his lips just fine.

And finally, at the end of dinner, they washed the dishes.

Liming was doing the dishes just fine when suddenly he felt someone hugging him from the back. He didn't have to think twice to know who that was. His dear lover hugged him from the back and sniffed his nape.
