The doctor hands me a notepad and a pen, says I can talk through that and then leaves. Everyone stares at me as I stare at the notepad, and with reluctance I begin to write.
'I don't like him.'
"Me either," Daiki says, "He's kind of heartless, I wonder why he became a doctor."
'Money, most likely.'
"Money is a terrible thing," Ryosuke says before stuffing a strawberry into his mouth, and everyone laughs and begins to steal strawberries from his bag, despite his loud protests. Yuya hands me a strawberry and I sign to him 'Thank you', setting it on my table as I grab my notepad and pen again. I began to write, taking my time as I make sure this letter says everything I want it to say.
"What's up Keito?" Chinen asks but I shake my head, ripping the page from the notepad and folding it in half, writing on one half 'For TakaGI only'. Yuya frowns and takes the letter and steps outside, and it's silent til Yuya storms back into the room, letter clutched tightly in his fist. He's crying but this time everyone sees it, and he grabs his bag and leaves, slamming the door behind him. I snap my fingers to get everyone's attention back on me, and when Kota looks I point to him and then point to the door, and he quickly gets up and runs after Yuya.
"What was that?" Ryutaro asks, confused but I can only shake my head, and I wish I could say, "Yuya is hurt, really bad and only Kota can fix it." but I can't, instead I grab my pad and draw a large heart, showing it to the rest of them.
"Is this about their break up?" Yuri asks and I nod, and the room goes quiet for a second til I grab my strawberry and throw it at Daiki's head, causing a strawberry food war that leaves us laughing and the nurses pissed.
Well, that leaves my friends laughing, at least. My eyes crinkle and my nose scrunches up, and I'm laughing but there's no sound. Isn't laughter all about the sound, happy giggles and loud, boisterous chuckles?
It's depressing, laughing without sound.
But I'll keep trying, until I can't try no more and when that day comes, which seems closer every day, my friends have promised to learn sign language with me, that way I won't have to make up stupid hand gestures or write on a silly notepad. We'll actually communicate, one way or the other, I will speak with my friends once again.
I'd prefer verbal communication, though.
