Barry perked up, a wide smile blooming across his face, excitement in his eyes as the other signed to him. It was so rare to find anyone that happened to know sign language, so he couldn’t help but immediately raise his hands, signing with an excitable flourish.
No, it’s no problem! I was spacing out. He grinned at the other, looking him over. He was shorter, with neatly combed into place brunette locks, and stunning cobalt eyes behind horn-rimmed glasses. He was... actually really cute.
I’m B-A-R-R-Y, he introduced himself, before signing his sign name in case this man was also mute. B-bear. I’m mute, are you deaf or hard of hearing? Or was I just lucky to run into someone who randomly knows sign? He mouthed the words as he signed, mostly out of habit.
