A story where Prompto grew up deaf. He couldn’t afford to buy any hearing aids so he watches lip movements to see what are they talking about. He never talks in fear he would sound weird so he signed instead.

Noctis was the one who actually approached him this time. People seemed to make fun of Prompto. Saying incredibly rude things to him… There was nothing that Prompto could do. Noctis saved him, become his protector. Their friendship started somewhere around middle school.

Noctis slowly fell in love with him. He fell in love with the cute squeaky noises Prompto did whenever he’ was happy or excited. The way he seems to scratch behind his ear when he was thinking. The way he smile crookedly and that dimple on his cheek. The way he signed so passionately about photography and art that Noctis could barely catch up. His loud weird laugh, his determination, his strength– everything.

Despite knowing sign language he usually talks with Prompto like a normal person because that’s it. Prompto IS normal. Unlike him, who was tied to magic. People often treat him like he was the freak of nature and Noctis thought that was incredibly unfair. Besides, Prompto preferred it that way.

So when Noctis confessed to him by signing it out. Prompto cried and asked why? Was he joking? Was he degrading him? Why was he signing when he can talk normally? Noctis signed back–

“It’s a special language only known between you and me. This is our safe lil haven. This is our language…”
