deaf lance

pidge sat in class scribbling down on her notebook.

"students, we have a new student. I would like you to meet Lance McLain. He's from Cuba."

a tall boy walked into the classroom and smiled. he gave a slight wave.

"welcome lance," everyone chimed.

pidge instantly was drawn into his eyes. blue.

"lance why don't you take a seat."

he didn't respond. the teacher tapped his shoulder. he suddenly turned around to her.

"why you take a seat anywhere you want."

he nodded and looked around for a seat. his met mine and I could feel my face go red. he smiled at me and walked towards me. he sat in the seat next to me not breaking eye contact the entire time.
something was different about him and she was going to figure out what. Lance spent the entire class staring at the teacher as if he was trying to read her face. Pidge watched and before she knew it class ended.

Lance stood up and began to pack his bag.

"Hey, lance?" Pidge asked.

Nothing. She tapped him on the shoulder. He spun around and met her eye. 

"Hey, are you okay? You seemed like you didn't hear me. Is everything okay?" she asked.
Lance nodded.

"Okay... do you wanna sit with me at lunch?" she asked.

lance silently nodded.

"cool, what's your next class?" she asked.

lance held up a math book.

"me too, I'll walk with you," she said.

lance shyly smiled as pidge led him to math class. he couldn't take his eyes off her. should he tell her he was deaf? would she look at him differently? would she think he's a freak?

pidge looked at lance who was staring. she smiled to herself. He's cute as hell. she thought allowed. the turned red and looked at him to see if he heard her but all he was able to see were her lips mumble something.

pidge sighed relieved he didn't seem to hear. she met his gaze and smiled. the rest of class was full of silent glances and little moments of locking eye contact and smiling. for some reason tho... it wasn't awkward. 

lunch finally came and pidge led lance to her favorite spot on the roof. 

"lance? why don't you talk?" she asked.

he was able to read her lips and froze at the question. 'no! this is not going to be a relationship built on lies' he declared to himself.

lance faced pidge and lifted his hands up to his ear. 

"I'm deaf I can just read lips really well." he signed. 

lance half expected pidge to not understand what he just signed her but he was in aw when she responded by signing back.

"Oh, that's why you didn't hear me or any of the teachers call your name today unless they got your attention."

lance nodded.

"I moved here to the united states from Cuba to get a better job so I could get hearing aids. there should be coming today after school." he signed.

"wait so will it be the first time you've heard anything in your life?"

lance nodded, "will you be there with me? I didn't really have friends but my family's back in Cuba and I don't want to do it alone." he signed.

pidge nodded her head vigorously. she smiled one of her genuine crooked smiles and hugged lance. the bell rang causing the two to jump a bit. the rest of the day they could keep their eyes off each other. pidge kept getting lost in her oceans blue eyes. he kept getting lost in her hazel eyes. 

after school pidge went home with Lance to see his new hearing aid had already been delivered by the pharmacy. lance tore open the box and looked at the aid inside. he held it up and examined it. he looked at pidge and smiled. 

"aren't you gonna put it in?" she asked.

"Yeah," he said. 

the second lance had it settled in his ear pidge helped adjust it to his liking. she stepped back and watched him as he stared at her. 

"Well?" she nervously asked.

tears dripped down his face as he sobbed. lance fell to his knees and pidge ran to him. she wrapped her arms around him as he buried his face into her chest. 

"what's wrong lance? are you okay?" she asked.

"nothing wrong. it's perfect," he said.

he looked up at pidge and smiled. pidge suddenly burst into tears. lance picked her up and spun her around as she laughed and giggled. 

"oh my god... lets video call my family! they don't know about it," he said.

pidge nodded and a few moments later they sat in front of a laptop waiting for the other end to pick up. the second it did lance was greeted by a huge family. they all waved and started signing about pidge who was next to him. 

"who is she?"

"is she your girlfriend?" 

pidge gggled.

"no, I'm not his girlfriend we just met."

lance snickered. 

"I have to go." he signed as he hung up.

"wait, what? you didn't tell them." 

"I know I want to do it in person. will you come with me when I go to Cuba for the break?"

"of course," she said.

the months flew by and finally, pidge was landing in cube with her boyfriend who she had started dating a few months ago. they got off and walked out of the airport. lance's sister was waiting by her car. lance's sister came running up to him. she jumped on him.

"ah not so rough sis," he spoke.

she pulled away in shock.

"Lance did you just talk?" she asked

"yes. yes, I did." 

"oh my god."

"wow, I never my sister hid such a pretty voice," he said.

his sister rushed them home and several hours later the family had finished asking him questions about everything. pidge loved meeting the family. they were all so kind. but finally, pidge had lance to her self. they shared a room that night. pidge stared into Lance's eyes. he did the same. 

"I love you," she whispered.

"I love you too," he whispered back.
