Dedicated: To the writers at

spleenjournal. This is because you are amazing and although I love trans!Frank, I also adore everything else. So, this is a bit of something.
Pairing: Frank/Deaf!Mikey (Ah ha ha)
Frank had never been to Mikey's house before, so when the taller boy invited him over, he hadn't hesitated in saying yes. In fact, he had signed so fast, Mikey had asked the stuttering boy to reply twice.
They had met only two weeks prior, when Frank's mother had asked him to help at a class she was taking. Frank hadn't been surprised to find himself in a classroom with twelve other kids his age, all of which were deaf.
He became fast friends with the most withdrawn of them all, and Frank's mother often laughed about how they balanced each other out. The difference between their signs were obvious; Mikey curling in on himself and Frank taking up the space he withdrew from.
It was also quite obvious to everyone, other than Mikey apparently, that Frank had a little crush on the older boy. Mikey instead just believed that he was over-affectionate, because 'really, who could love a 'tard like me?' He had once voiced this concern to Frank and had received an angry flash of hands at the word 'tard.
"So, I know my brother's hot, but please don't abandon me for him just yet." Was the first thing Frank saw from Mikey as they entered his house. Frank just smiled and looked at his feet, the one time where he would actually be reserved.
"Nah, man. That's like... not cool." He shuffled a little, following Mikey up the stairs to the older boy's room. He could see the difference between the two sides of the room and let Mikey point out which was his and which was his brother's. Although, he needn't have, as there was a man spread out on one of the beds.
After introductions and Gerard smirking at Frank as the younger boy blushed over Mikey's smile, the man left the two alone. Frank sat on the floor, not wanting to intrude on Mikey space, but was quickly pulled up to the bed to watch crappy afternoon tv that had a stupid woman signing at the side.
They ended up signing over it, Frank pressed close to Mikey's side. The other boy had obviously noticed the space on Frank's other side, but wasn't saying anything about it. Instead, he was chatting about his love for comics and saturday morning cartoons. Frank hadn't bothered to reply in a while and was just staring at Mikey's lips.
Suddenly, Mikey hit him and Frank looked at his hands.
"Dude, I'm not gonna start speaking just 'cause you're looking at my lips." Frank blushed and shuffled away, apologising. Mikey was going to tell him to get out now. He could feel it.
"I might do something else with them though. If you ask nice." Frank's eyes darted from Mikey's hands to his smirk and moved closer than he had been before.
A/N: I like deaf!verse. It's totally cute.
