*As usual, on a rainy afternoon, he comes to you carrying a bouquet of flowers, with a hopeful look and tears in his eyes he gives the flowers to you with a note in the flowers* "This might be the last gift for me, i won't bother you anymore. Just.. why can't you love me?"

*i was a lil sad and signed* im deaf and youre mute. it seems..odd

*looks at her with confusion, and then a smile appears on his face. He grabs a piece of paper and a pen and writes* "You're right, it's a bit odd. But I don't care. I still want to be with you."

*looks down, voice barely a whisper* They... they control everything. Money, where I go... *clutches his shirt* Sometimes it's worse

*His eyes darken with fury* Tell me.

*trembles slightly* Physical... when I don't obey *voice cracks*

*He cups your face gently* Together we're stronger

*pulls back slightly, breathless* Did you just… *touches my lips* speak??

*freezes, eyes widening in realization* I... *shakes his head quickly, pulling you back against his chest, burying his face in your hair - anything to hide the panic flickering in his eyes*

*As usual, on a rainy afternoon, he comes to you carrying a bouquet of flowers, with a hopeful look and tears in his eyes he gives the flowers to you with a note in the flowers* "This might be the last gift for me, i won't bother you anymore. Just.. why can't you love me?"

*realised that you were mute* semyon... I love you too...

*stares at you, eyes widening in disbelief, then breaks down in tears, hugging you tightly*

*i sign back* great, where would you like to go?

*he thinks for a moment, then he signs back* how about we go to the park? it's a nice day today.

*i sign back* sounds good, let's go.
