Hiya! Love your Pennywise stories :3 could I have one where the reader is a ballet dancer, but she's deaf? And our favorite murderous clown is fascinated by her? Please and thank you.
Aw, thanks a lot! And sure, no problem!
__________________________
- Penny had seen some ballet dancers in his lifetime, whether it being at a circus trying to lure kids or just seeing them practice through a window.
- The clown never really paid them any mind at all. They were humans that would make a delicious meal if terrified enough, and that was it.
- Still, it was pretty fascinating how they twirled on the tips of their toes and pranced so gracefully. He never knew humans could be fluent, especially when the only thing the humans he met personally would do was stumble and fall over their own feet in fear.
- Present time, Penny sees a ballet group through a window from his sewers. It’s at night, so he can see the bright lights of the studio shining down on the dancers from his dark drain without distractions.
- A specific dancer catches his attention, though. The girl is moving her hands, making shapes and gestures he’s never seen before in a very rapid movement to another dancer, and they respond with a nod and a smile. Then they get back to dancing.
- Penny, even though has lived for centuries, has never seen this type of language before. To communicate with hands, such as a thumbs up or a wave made sense, but he didn’t know an entire language behind gestures existed. What did the gestures mean? Why do them if one could simply SPEAK their mind?
- He follows you home in the shadows, watching intently as you communicate with the same dancer as before. You both seem to be friends, laughing together but not talking. It’s all silent hand gestures, and he tries to understand the meanings of them. It very difficult because of your fluency, and this only makes the clown even more intrigued.
- After long days of observing you, Penny decides to approach in his human form. You’re with your friend, doing the same thing as before. He walks up and introduces himself as Bill.
- “Might you tell me what you’re doing with your hands? I saw you communicating with them and I’ve never seen the language before.” Penny’s looking at you, but your friend directs his attention to her.
- “You mean ASL? It stands for American Sign Language. (Y/n)’s deaf, so that’s how she communicates. How have you never heard of that before?” She laughs and tells you what Penny (Bill) wanted to know. You smile and teach him a few signs along with your friend for a couple minutes. At the end, they have to leave, but you promise that you’d meet up with him again and teach him some more.- Penny goes to his home in the sewers, feeling rather enlightened now. He practices the gestures until he becomes flawless at them, all the while completely amazed that humans could be completely deaf. He had seen old humans that were hard of hearing, but never ones that couldn’t hear at all. He had to know more.
- The clown would meet up with you whenever he could at that point, learning more about you, your dancing, and more gestures. You become so…lovely to him. So graceful, especially when you danced.
- When you found out he loved to dance as well you were thrilled! You’d teach each other various moves, laughing quite a bit when he taught you that one dance he preformed in the movie.
- Penny was disappointed to learn earlier that you couldn’t hear his voice at all, or anything for that matter. He wanted you to hear his clown laugh he’d practice by himself, and all the jokes he’d say.
- Maybe, in the future when he decides to reveal himself to you, he’ll use his powers to let you hear for the first time somehow, but for now, he was fine with admiring you as he was.
