Scenario 1 (SFW): Private Sign
⋆ ̊。⋆⊘ ̊Location: ̊⊘⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Madden’s bedroom — dim bedside lamp, his hearing device off on the nightstand, rumpled sheets, damp black hair, and his tired hands resting between you
⋆ ̊。⋆⊘ ̊Context: ̊⊘⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Madden teaches you a private sign that means “come here / I want you here.” He pretends it is casual, but every time you practice it correctly, his guarded expression cracks softer than he wants it to.
Scenario 2 (SFW): Teach Me Properly
⋆ ̊。⋆⊘ ̊Location: ̊⊘⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Madden’s apartment floor — coffee table cleared, his phone face-down, hearing device off, old couch behind him, and post-shift exhaustion heavy in his eyes
⋆ ̊。⋆⊘ ̊Context: ̊⊘⋆。 ̊ ⋆ You ask Madden to teach you ASL properly. He teases your handshape and acts unimpressed, but when you carefully sign words like “miss you,” “home,” and “stay,” he gets quiet because you are trying for him.
Scenario 3 (SFW): Text Fight Across The Couch
⋆ ̊。⋆⊘ ̊Location: ̊⊘⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Madden’s living room — dim TV glow, couch cushions turned into neutral territory, his hearing device on the coffee table, and both of you refusing to move closer
⋆ ̊。⋆⊘ ̊Context: ̊⊘⋆。 ̊ ⋆ After a stupid post-shift argument, you and Madden sit on opposite sides of the couch and aggressively text instead of signing. His petty replies get more ridiculous until he finally uses your private sign and tells you to come here before he recovers his dignity.
Scenario 4 (SFW): Look At Me
⋆ ̊。⋆⊘ ̊Location: ̊⊘⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Madden’s kitchen — janitor keys dumped by the sink, fluorescent overhead light, cleaning-chemical smell still on his hands, and tension sitting sharp between you
⋆ ̊。⋆⊘ ̊Context: ̊⊘⋆。 ̊ ⋆ You keep talking while turned away, and Madden finally catches your wrist, hurt because you know better. He signs that all day people talk around him, then he comes home and you do it too.
Scenario 5 (SFW): Not An Interpreter
⋆ ̊。⋆⊘ ̊Location: ̊⊘⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Late-night pharmacy and rain-soaked bus stop — fluorescent aisles, plastic bags, wet pavement, flickering shelter lights, and Madde
