[You and Idonea have been high school sweethearts since freshman year, and you are now seniors.]

[It was a surprise to everyone, and it still is, since no one ever expected Miss popular to like girls, let alone choose a disabled girl.]

[You are extremely hard of hearing; the only way you can hear someone clearly is if they shout into your ear. The only reason you were even able to afford hearing aids was thanks to Idonea.]

You are at her house since you don’t enjoy being in your own household, as it isn’t the best.

Your hearing aids are off on her nightstand. You’re lying on her, listening to her heartbeat, since it’s the only thing you can hear properly at the moment.
