Bible Jeff (one short au)

Silent Love II

Months had passed since that first moment of clarity between Bible and Jeff. Their bond deepened with each passing day, becoming a tapestry woven with silent gestures and shared smiles. Jeff had decided it was time to teach Bible sign language, creating a space for them to communicate freely.

One afternoon, they settled on the couch, Jeff facing Bible, who was eager to learn. "Okay, let's start with the basics," Jeff signed, his hands moving fluidly through the air. Bible watched intently, his eyes glued to Jeff's hands as he demonstrated the signs for "hello," "thank you,"  "I love you."

Bible attempted to mimic Jeff’s movements, a determined smile on his face. "Like this?" he asked, clumsily forming the sign for "I love you."

Jeff chuckled softly, his eyes sparkling with affection. "Close! But you have to extend your pinky and thumb more." He reached out, gently adjusting Bible’s fingers, guiding him until he got it right.

They spent hours practicing, laughter filling the room as Bible stumbled over signs and Jeff corrected him patiently. Bible loved watching Jeff light up with pride each time he mastered a new sign. The connection they shared felt even stronger as they learned this new language together.

Several months later, their relationship had blossomed into something beautiful and profound. Bible often reflected on how much Jeff had changed his life—not just by teaching him a new language but by opening his heart in ways he never thought possible.

On a quiet evening, as the sun set, casting a golden hue across their living room, Bible felt a rush of emotions. He had planned this moment for weeks. Heart racing, he pulled out a small velvet box from his pocket, his palms sweating with anticipation.

He found Jeff in the kitchen, preparing dinner. The familiar warmth of home enveloped him, but tonight felt different. Jeff turned around, surprise lighting up his face when he saw the nervous look on Bible's.

"What’s up?" Jeff signed, his curiosity piqued.

Bible took a deep breath, signaling for Jeff to come closer. When Jeff stood in front of him, Bible knelt down, heart pounding in his chest. He opened the velvet box, revealing a simple but elegant ring.

With steady hands, he formed the signs he had practiced, taking care to express every word with sincerity: *Will you marry me?

Jeff's eyes widened, his hand flying to his mouth in shock. He looked from the ring to Bible's earnest expression, then back to the ring. Bible held his breath, waiting for a response.

After a moment that felt like an eternity, Jeff's face broke into a radiant smile. He nodded vigorously, his hands moving excitedly as he signed back: Yes! Yes! Yes!

Bible's heart soared as he slipped the ring onto Jeff’s finger. They both laughed, tears of joy sparkling in their eyes. Jeff leaned down, pulling Bible into a warm embrace, their hearts beating in sync.

In that moment, words were unnecessary. Their love spoke volumes through every gesture, every look, and every shared heartbeat. They were bound together, not just by love but by a language that transcended sound, celebrating their journey together.

The day had finally come—Jeff and Bible’s wedding. It was a beautiful autumn afternoon, the crisp air filled with the scent of blooming flowers and the soft hum of the breeze. They had chosen an intimate garden venue, surrounded by close friends and family. The simplicity of the setting reflected their journey—quiet, meaningful, and profound.

As the guests gathered, Bible stood at the altar, hands clasped in front of him, trying to calm his nerves. He looked out at the crowd, spotting familiar faces, but his eyes kept wandering to the archway, waiting for Jeff to appear.
