ohne-vember day 2

”without sound”

he put the noise-cancelling headphones over his ears, frail body parts that had exposed him to many unpleasant sounds throughout his life. these headphones, while quite expensive, promised a silence kamishiro could have only ever dreamed of.

“how are they, love?”

rui had to read tsukasa’s lips, unable to hear him at all. how.. odd. he was standing hardly a foot from rui, but not a sound. now that he thought about it, he couldn’t hear the construction going on outside either.

“flawless..” rui answered, but he wouldn’t even be sure he’d spoken if not for the vibration in his throat.

the perfect headphones, finally his.

he went through the day, feeling disconnected. it was peaceful. he sat at his computer, typing but not hearing it.

he left for his 11 am class, silence as he watched the approaching bus from the stop. all of his other senses were in top shape, almost working better, but his hearing was like a monitor flatline.

this was the most peace he’d ever felt.

tsukasa noticed it too. when rui came home from classes, he was usually a bit frazzled and needed an hour or so to recharge. but today was different. he was calm and smiling, greeting tsukasa when he walked in.

“you’re in a good mood,” tsukasa quipped as he walked up to rui.

rui couldn’t make out most of what tsukasa had said, tilting his head in the nature of a dog to imply his confusion.

“ah, never mind.” tsukasa corrected himself, waving his hand as if to brush away his former comment.

that night went well. until it was time to sleep. the silence was beginning to feel lonely, and the headset was starting to hurt. rui loved the silence, but not the absence of his lover’s voice.

so he took off the headphones, setting them on the bedside table before cuddling back up to tsukasa. the noises were clear to him now— the distant construction, the humming of the a/c, and the soft breathing of the person beside him. but he’d get used to it again.

Tomorrow Ohne-vember begins!

I can’t wait to see what everyone creates of those prompts over the next month

ohne-vember day 1

”without light”

rui stumbled around the apartment, realizing he didn’t know the layout as well as he thought he did.

he bumped into something, which shifted position a bit. as he headed for the door to the basement, he hit his head on the low doorframe.

“shit—“

“you okay?”

“yeah. i’m trying to get to the basement.”

rui continued, stepping down the few stairs. were there three or four?—four. rui nearly fell, not expecting the fourth step.

he couldn’t see anything in this room, and had no clue what was where. he held out a tentative hand to feel around, occasionally touching bars of metal shelves or dusty cardboard boxes. he recoiled upon accidentally finding a cobweb as it clung to his hand.

tsukasa, whose eyes adjusted to the dark fast, followed rui and startled him upon their hands touching.

“ah!—“

“just me, love.”

“oh,” rui sighed in relief at the sound of tsukasa’s voice. he stumbled around blindly, while tsukasa beelined for the control panel. however, only rui knew how to fix the power on the panel.

“follow my voice, rui.”

“of course, tsukasa-kun..”

rui ran right into a broom, knocking his glasses off his head. tsukasa met up with him and grabbed the glasses to keep him from fumbling around for them.

“here you are.”

“oh— you’re close.”

“too close?”

“no, just— you’re very quiet, surprisingly.”

“sorry.”

“don’t be.”

rui put the glasses back on, blinking a few times despite still being unable to see. tsukasa took rui’s hand and led him to the panel, making sure that rui didn’t step on anything.

rui had to use his memory to fix the power on the panel, remembering what each knob did and how to input the password for the system.

the lights buzzed and turned on.

“there we go.”
