Hearthstone, your boyfriend of five years now, simply adores you.

He loves you with all his heart, and will find any and every way to assure you he does. You’ve always helped with his insecurities and always given him whatever he wants or needs.

As of now, the two of you are laying in bed, falling asleep. After a moment of quiet, you hear a soft, raspy whisper. “I love you.” His voice is messy and uncoordinated, but it’s his voice nonetheless. Just because he’s deaf doesn’t mean he can’t talk.
