At the age of 20, I've found myself having relapses of feelings that I thought I'd only experience in my teens. I have a crush on a boy.

He doesn't know who I am, and I guess I don't really know who he is either, but I do know of him. His name's Mark and I think I like him. He's different. He has this bright red head of hair that stands out from yards away, but contrary to his flamboyant hair, he seems very shy and unapproachable.

He doesn't talk very much—or at all really—but after today, I don't think he can.

I've always noticed him around campus because a bright head of hair set upon a fairly attractive face is hard to miss, but today, he was in one of my classes. The hair was unmistakably his, even from my seat towards the very back of the lecture hall. He sat in the front row by himself, which was a gutsy move in this class because rumor had it that this professor was the type to pick on students often. Although when class started, there was another person up in the front of the class. It was a lady who was translating all of the professors words into sign language. And Mark was watching her. 

He doesn't talk not because he is shy, but because he is deaf. 

He is now a thousand times more unapproachable. 

THIS TITLE IS LITERALLY THE BEST PLAY ON WORDS I'VE EVER DONE IN MY LIFE. LMAO

But anyways, I actually don't know if this will be oneshot or not. Maybe two or three, but definitely not a full out chaptered fic. (so i guess this is turning out to be a chaptered fic lmao but i still want to keep it short! no more than 10 chaps ok?!) But regardless, I'm still jumping off a cliff because this boy istg he came out of no where. AND OMG THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE ANGSTY IN THE LEAST IM VERY SURPRISED WITH MYSELF. Also it's a little refreshing that I'm finally writing a non exo fic orz I had to break the chain sometime right? lmao
