Jake
Jake had always hated his hearing aids. Ever since childhood, they felt like a reminder of something he wished people would stop focusing on. Though they helped him hear, he hated being treated differently because of them. College was where he met you. You had been dating for two months, and everyone thought you were the perfect couple.

"I can hear you, you know," he would mutter, irritation flashing across his face whenever you signed while speaking. At first, you laughed it off. But over time, the comments stung.
