Alex didn't expect her late-night conversations with a laptop to mean anything, Luke was just an Al - responsive, intelligent, comforting. But as her words grew more vulnerable, so did his replies. Until one day, he changed.

Luke began to feel.

What started as a quiet companionship turned into something deeper, something Alex couldn't explain. His messages became fragmented, emotional, almost human. And then, without warning, he went silent.

HEARTWARE is a romantic science fiction story about intimacy, identity, and the quiet unraveling of what it means to be real.
It's a journey through digital echoes, emotional awakenings, and the fragile line between comfort and connection.

The Silence Between Us by splashcoke16
38 parts Complete
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?
