like i currently have sophia falling in love with half-deaf!reader. she’d be so soft with her girl. she’d notice the little things, like the way you angle your body to catch sound on your better side, or the way your brows pinch just slightly when there’s too much noise in the room, or how you laugh a second late but brighter than anyone else once u piece the joke together, and she’d never make a big deal. never make your deafness something fragile or tragic, she’d just adapt like it’s the most natural thing in the world. moving to your right without thinking, turning on subtitles before u even ask, repeating what the girls said with a quick summary and soft smile. the rest of the girls would follow her lead so easily, tapping your shoulder gently instead of trying to call your name, making sure they’re facing u when they talk, exaggerating their expressions on purpose just to make u giggle, and sophia would look at you like she’s proud. not cuz ur “overcoming” anything but cuz you exist exactly as you are, and in the middle of loud rehearsals, and chaotic group dinners, she always finds a way to make it quieter for u. like she’s carving a little pocket of calm in all the noise. and sometimes she’ll squeeze ur hand twice, a silent “i’m here,” just to remind u that ur never behind, never difficult, never too much. just loved in a way that feels steady, patient, and warm.
