Myles sits up and yawns. 'Holy shit. I slept like a log.' The black male stretches and swings his legs on the side of the bed. He picks up his phone and turns his alarm off. He flinches when the bathroom door opens and (N) walks out fully clothed drying his hair. The tall male turns around and smiles. "Good morning."

'Morning voice. Oh my god.' With flushed cheeks, Myles stands up and raises his hands. Good morning. (N) drops his towel on the floor and covers his mouth as his face turns red. Myles's eyes widen and he picks up his phone. "Did I do it wrong?! I'm pretty sure I did what the girl did in the video." The sound of pounding fills (N)'s ears as he smiles. 'Cute. He's so cute.'

"It was perfect Myles. I was just surprised. You don't have to force yourself to learn sign language." "Okay." (N) chuckles and picks the towel up. He walks over to his desk and checks his bag. "Rose wants us to hang out after classes today. If you want to." The tall male turns around to find the shorter beside him fiddling with his own bag. Myles looks up and smiles. "Okay. Sounds fun."

(N) nods and swings his bag over his shoulder. "We'll meet her at the cafe." Myles nods as (N) walks to the front door. "See you later." "Bye." The door closes and Myles covers his face while groaning. 'God. What is wrong with me? Stop falling in love so easily...dumbass.'

(N) types away on his laptop but stops when someone taps on the table. He looks up and instantly smiles. "Hey. I'm glad we  have at least one class together." "Me too." Myles smiles shyly and sits down.

(N) and Myles stand at the crosswalk waiting for the light to change. Once it changes Myles takes a step forward only to be pulled back as a car speeds past. Instinctively the black male grabbed the arm holding him. He leans into the (N)'s chest and tilts his head back. The taller male looks down worried. "Are you okay?" The short male nodded slowly while shaking.

Myles blushes when (N) holds his hand and leans down. "Just in case." The short male nods as the taller leads him to the cafe. Rose sips her iced coffee and chokes when she sees the males walk in. Well, look at you! (N) shakes his head as Myles sits down. Some asshole sped through the crosswalk. We're fine I just wanted to comfort him. Rose nods and smiles gently at the black male.

"Myles. Order anything you want I'll pay." "Oh. You don't have to do that." "Shh. We're friends now. Plus I know a way for you to repay me." (N) raises his eyebrows at the redhead. What are you planning? Rose ignores him and continues. "When I was walking to class I saw you talking to a certain brunette." Myles thinks for a second and then nods. "You mean Hannah?" "Oh yes! Hannah! My true love!"

(N) chuckles at his dramatic friend. "You say that about every woman." Rose shakes her head. "I'm being real this time. Hannah is the one! Myles! You'll help me right?!" Myles smiles and nods as a waiter approaches the table. After giving their orders Rose pulls Myles close and starts planning while (N) just watches.

(N)'s phone vibrates on his desk and he picks it up to see a missed call from Myles. Then a text.
__________________________
I'm sorry!
I didn't mean to call u!
Can u open our door?
__________________________

(N) chuckles at the message and stands up. He opens the door only to rush and grab a few bags from Myles. "That's a lot of stuff! I wish you told me you went shopping. I could've helped you." Myles kicks the door close and shakes his head. After setting the bags on the counter Myles turns to (N). "Sorry. It was an impulse thing. I noticed there was nothing in the fridge. Should I be worried?"

Myles blushes when a finger pokes his forehead and deep laughter echoes in the small kitchen. "I eat. I just didn't go shopping yet. But thank you." The black male touches his hand but quickly helps (N) put away the groceries.

(N) hums as he puts away the clean dishes. He looks at Myles slumped over figure on the couch. He chuckles and walks over. Gently picking the sleeping male up and setting him on his bed. (N) leans down and places Myles's glasses on his desk. 'He looks so peaceful.' (N)'s eyes trail down to Myles's plump lips. He sighs and gently brushes the male's hair behind his ear. 'You never told me why you were crying that day. Did someone hurt you?'

The (h/c) haired male stands up and lays on his bed. He glances at the sleeping male who rolled over. 'It's only been a few days but I want him to trust me and open up.'

Well, I think everything is going great with Hannah! Myles has been a huge help. Rose smirks at (N). Speaking of Myles. How's it going? (N) rolls his eyes and blushes lightly. Fine. We're good. Nothing's happening. Rose wiggles her eyebrows but stops and looks concerned. Don't overreact but it looks like Myles is uncomfortable.

Immediately (N) follows his friend's line of sight and stares. A blonde male was standing slightly in front of Myles as the black male looked uncomfortable. "Woah wait! (N)!" Rose quickly followed after her friend as he approached the two males. "Myles." The black male looked over causing the blonde male to look. "(N). Rose." The blonde crosses his arms and scoffs.

"Is he your new boy toy?" "No! Just. Can you leave me alone Silas?" Myles shifts nervously as Silas stares him down. The blonde puts his hand up to his mouth and speaks. "(N) the deaf guy really? You are so shitty." A smirk forms behind his hand. "Poor bastard doesn't know he's being taken advantage of by a-" (N) grabs Silas's wrist and glares. "Sorry. I couldn't see what you were saying. Mind repeating yourself?"

Silas pulls away and chuckles. "Oh, nothing. I just feel bad for you." Cold blue eyes lock with brown ones. "See you later Myles." The three watch the blonde walk away and Rose gently holds Myles's shoulder. "What the fuck was that?! Who was that asshole? His face pisses me off." (N) moves to stand beside the short male. "Are you okay Myles?" "I'm...fine. Uh that was Silas he's... an ex-friend who's still mad at me."

(N) and Rose glanced at each other. "You don't have to tell us." "Sounds like an annoying bitch." "Rose." The redhead shrugs at (N) as Myles sighs. "He wasn't always like that. He just uh...doesn't like that I'm trans." "Let's castrate the bastard." (N)'s eyes widen at the redhead's statement. "Rose." The friends freeze and watch Myles laugh.

"Mmm. You guys don't have to worry about me." Rose smiles at the male. "Too late for that. If that asshole is giving you problems tell me and I'll kick his ass. Or better yet (N) will kick his ass." (N) sighs at the redhead but nods. "If you need anything just tell us. We're here for you." Myles nods and raises his hands. Thank you. (N) blushes as Rose squeals.

"Aww Myles! Are you learning sign language for (N)?!" The black male blushes and smiles. "Just a little bit.  I think it would be good if we could communicate better." "Oh, Myles. I already told you that you don't have to." Myles blushes and shakes his head. "I wanted to know more about your world." (N)'s eyes widen and his face burns red. Rose whistles and backs away. "Whew, it's getting romantic over here. See you gays later!"
