"Keiji, sweetie, do you have a moment?"

Closing his book, Keiji looked up at his mother, tilting his head "yes, mother?" Hiromi walked into the room, standing by her son's bed "I assume your father has told you about prince Bokuto visiting, yes?" Akaashi nodded "what about it?"

Brushing a strand of hair behind her ear, she smiled "sweetie, I know it's a bit sudden, but would it be alright if you studied sign language?" His brows quirked, eyes widening "sign language? All of it?" Hiromi shook her head, chuckling "just enough to communicate with him, sweetie. He can still read lips fairly well, he just struggles at times"

"Communicate? What happened to him?" Rubbing at her nape, she spoke nervously

"Apparently he got into an accident back when he was thirteen that caused him to lose his hearing"

Keiji's heart dropped.

'How am I supposed to learn sign language in such a short time?!'
