Boyfriend Imagines

Being Heard

H/N and you have been dating for almost a year. You two haven't said I love you yet. Because you couldn't speak... He learned how to sign when he started the school which was really sweet for him to do. He usually just spoke to you since you love the sound of his voice.

"Hey baby." He said wrapping his arms around you.

School was out and you were getting books out of your locker. You smiled and he kissed your cheek. You turned to face him.

"What are we doing after school?" You sign.

"Well I was thinking you could come to my house and we could just cuddle and watch movies."

You nodded you head. You lace your fingers with his and you begin to walk out of the school. You have a surprise for him. For the past few week you have been training your self to speak. Of course it doesn't sound perfect. Your voice was airy and raspy with little actual sound that came out but you tested it out on your dad and he can somewhat understand you. You both had interest the courtyard. You tugged at his hand to motion to stop.

"Yes?" He asked stopping and looking at you.

"I need to tell you something." You sign.

"Okay anything." You grabbed both his hands.

Here goes nothing.

You took a breath," I," you took another breath," love," another breath, you." You looked at the ground." I wanted to tell you with my voice... I been practicing. I also wanted to tell you why I sound like this. Most people think I was just born with this but I wasn't... My mom and I were on our way to the mall. I had my first middle school dance... We were in traffic and talking about how I was going to prepare. There was a car speeding and it began to swerve... My mom knew it was going to hit us hard. She turned to me and said that she love me... I said it back an then we were hit.... My voice box began to fill with blood and basically suffocated my vocal cords... It damaged almost all of them and that's why I sound like this.... I know it's not pretty but your the first person I've said I love you to in six years. The last was my mother... Before I met you I was very sad and lonely. So thank you for loving me." (A/N each ... Was like a breath/pause.) You continued to look down.

It made you nervous how he wasn't saying anything. Was he disgusted by your voice? You slowly look at him and find his eyes. His eyes are teary and somewhat red.

"Y/N I-I can't believe it. I love you so so much and you voice is the most beautiful sound I've ever heard. I love you." He brought you into a tight hug.

He let go and stroked your face.

"I love you too." You signed.
