Heal my Heart

Chapter 38 - Hidden Truth

"Sam? Could you come here for a sec, love?" Grizz asked his lover as the latter was done changing.

"What is it?" The deaf boy answered, joining him on the bed.

Grizz was seated on the bed and waited for him to settle down. He was looking at him lovingly but Sam could catch some curiosity and interest in his glance.

"I was thinking about what you told me yesterday, about you actually hearing my voice."

"Yeah, what about it?" He asked curiously.

"Well, I was wondering about the cause of this sudden change in your hearing. I think that maybe my power has something to do with it."

"Your power?"

"Yeah, when I saw you in this church, I was so happy to sing and sign to you that maybe some of my power escaped my control. You had my full attention and we really connected back there, so maybe some of my power unconsciously slipped right into you, affecting your hearing." he told him with a serious face.

Sam looked at him with wide open eyes. Of course. He had never been healed by Grizz and never thought his power could affect his disease.

"I know that actual medicine can't do anything for you but my power defies what we knew about healing. I don't want to give you false hope or anything but maybe, just maybe, I could actually heal your hearing...?"

"That...That would be incredible, Grizz. Do you really think you could heal me...?" Sam whispered.

"There's no harm in giving it a try, right? Do you wanna try it now?"

"Yes, yes please do." he said, hoping for the best.

Grizz slowly put his hands around his ears and closed his eyes, focusing. His hands began to glow and Sam suddenly felt better. In fact, his lover first absorbed every little emotional and physical pain the deaf boy felt before he could focus on his hearing. The healer frowned a bit, sensing that this wasn't any normal pain, it was much deeper. He tried to find the source of the disease and took some of it in him.

He felt consciousness leaving him and before passing out, he took his hands back. Sam felt the warmth go away and some sounds began arriving. His eyes grew wider and he smiled at his panting boyfriend.

"Are you okay, Grizz?" Sam asked worriedly.

"Can you hear my voice, Sam? Even just a glimpse?" Grizz answered, looking up at his face.

"I can. I can here your voice but it's really faint. It's as if you're really far away." he smiled.

"That's great ! It's much more complicated than I thought, I couldn't take everything. The effects might be only temporary for now, I'm sorry..."

"Sorry? Grizz, I can hear again ! It's incredible, thank you so much !"

"You're welcome, love. Even if I can't take everything away in one shot, I think that if I try again a few times, I'll be able to completely heal you." Grizz told him, putting his hands back on his ears.

"Not now, hun. You already used a great amount of energy, I know you're exhausted. It's no normal sickness, you can't just make it disappear in one day, it's fine." Sam said, grabbing his hands lovingly and kissing him.

The sounds were being more and more faint and slowly faded away, leaving him in silence again. But Sam wasn't sad or frustrated, he was excited and delighted to know that with time, he could hear again after so many years.

"We could have healing sessions every morning and see where it leads." Grizz answered smiling.

"Sounds perfect to me!" He giggled.
