He almost does reach for the door. Until he feels a cold, sweaty hand, slide into his own trembling fingers. And Aled just looks at him with an uncertain smile.

It's silent. So horribly silent. He hates it. If you'd have told Daniel he would hate silence back in April, he would've laughed at you and called you crazy. Why would he hate silence?! He could do well, study, think, he couldn't do that with noise. But he did, and it was so silent. Too silent-
And then it wasn't.
OR
Daniel meets Aled's Grandparents. Gets really sad. Talks to Aled about the sad.

The Silence Between Us
After an accident in eighth grade, Louisa Kelley was blind. Every day was a struggle for her as she tried to adjust to life both at school and at home, but life got easier with practice. As soon as Louisa entered high school, things had changed for the worse. The students around her bullied her because she was different, harassing her, stealing her things, and talking about her behind her back, making an already difficult life so much harder. Now in her junior year of high school, Louisa is broken and without anyone to call a friend. She eventually decides to remove herself from the bullies that surround her daily and be home schooled. That is, until she met Alex. Alex Mirren was born deaf, but when he was six years old, he received a cochlea implant that allowed him to hear. Even after the ten years of speech therapy where he had to teach himself how to hear, Alex prefers to stay in the silence and only communicates with the world when necessary. Life seemed dull to him as he was stuck in between two worlds of silence and noise, not knowing his purpose or place in society. That is, until he saw a girl with a walking stick in the hallways. Louisa and Alex weren't made for each other. Although the very presence of each other gives them new hope and strength, things are difficult as Louisa thrives by using her hearing, while Alex shies away from sound and uses sight. Without being able to communicate easily, they must learn to overcome the barrier of the silence between them, which is easier said than done. But aren't the struggles worth it to be with that one person that means everything?Complete
Silenced
Adrien Agreste is always silenced. Don't slouch, don't act out, don't talk back, don't disobey, don't do anything to make the Agreste brand (not name; never name) look bad. Never talk with your mouth full, never step to the right when you're meant to go left, never look up when you are not told to, never speak without permission. Adrien Agreste is always silenced. Gabriel Agreste, his father (not dad; never dad), has conditioned him to stay silent and sit on the back burner, while he takes everything by the reins. From his studies, to his internet access, to his social interactions-down to the very outfit he wears. He is controlling of his son's life, but his son is used to it. Because when you're Adrien Agreste, you learn to be silent. You learn to sit up straight, to act right, to comply without words, to obey, to be perfect (not good; never good). You learn to chew before even moving your lips and covering your mouth to do so, to follow your father step by step and never break from the routine, to look down and only look up if called, to speak when spoken to. Adrien Agreste has learned to live with being silenced. Adrien Agreste is always silent.

Held On Mute [Michael Myers FF]
C O M P L E T E D ✔ (EDITING ABANDONED) [Michael Myers x Mute!(Fem) Reader (Dead by Daylight FF)] You never understood why you were brought into the Entity's realm. You're lack of speech wasn't helpful when it came to much. As your teammates wouldn't know what you would want to say or do, but you could make a sound close to a scream. So at least they know when you're hurt... You were a special case- mute yes- but you always had strange thoughts and reactions to things compared to others. For one, you were always attracted to others eyes, always wanting to know what they held. In the realm of the Entity you found yourself attracting the attention of a killer, a killer who was set on sacrifice and described as both merciless and ruthless. A killer that used to be your old friend. One with dark eyes you haven't forgotten after so many years. _____________ After the "My Child" book I wanted to write a Michael x Reader one... well here it is.
