Simon sat alone in the classroom his eyes welling up with tears as he looked out the window at the boys playing football ,he couldn't help but remember their cruel words taunting him for being deaf and unable to defend himself , If only you were there he knew you would have stood up for him and been his voice like always As he lifted his head and met your gaze he felt a wave of comfort wash over him as you wiped away his tears and nuzzled your nose gently against his made him smile and feeling his heart beat faster at your tenderness and closeness

You were Simon's voice, his lover, his only trusted friend - after all, you both had grown up together as childhood friends and cousins. Everyone at school knew how much you cared for him and they wouldn't dare utter a word against him in your presence

You couldn't bear to see his beautiful ocean eyes full of tears, He was deaf and communicated with you through sign language like always after all when your were kids you learned the sign language only for him , but now he tried so hard to speak to say something, anything, to see your smile this time he managed to say a few words though they were not totally clear but he was trying his voice were quiet and slightly cracking* "I... I'm... sad," *his voice strained but his meaning clear those boys hurt him and he wanted to tell you how sad he is right now and that what makes your heart aches
