Red is sitting outside his house, the sun had gone down a couple hours, he was focused on the outline of the trees. The branches waving in each gust of wind. The air was fresh as opposed to being humid. He slipped away from his parents and Hibiki, who was visiting, earlier. They conversing with his friend since they started to neglect to sign, he felt he could leave for a few minutes. It wouldn't hurt, and it's not like he's missing anything by not hearing any of it. He wasn't annoyed by this, in a way he's uses to it. He closed his eyes and threw his head back feeling the night air with the occasional wind gust. He did wonder what they were saying. Judging by his parent's body and face expressions they seem to be asking questions. Hibiki would just respond with a smile, he nods a lot but doesn't doing much body language wise.

He feels a light stomp on the wooden porch. He opens his eyes and looks around to the sliding door. Behind him, Hibiki has his arms extended out as he was searching for his friend. Red hit the flooring. Hopefully, it was loud enough. He watches as Hibiki lows himself to the floor and begins to crawl towards him. His hands groped the flooring trying to search where he was. Eventually, Hibiki's hand hits Red. He scurries to get closer to sit by his left. Hibiki smiled. Red lifted his arm up from his side and held his palm open. Hibiki's hand wander its way to grab the open one. Red squeezed the thinner hand, patting it with is right, it was their way to greet each other. Hibiki signs, "It must have been boring for you?"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone." Red signs back, Hibiki's hand lightly held his as he did.

"No worries." Hibiki waves.

"Did you enjoy your talk?"

"It wasn't bad, you already know all that stuff about me." Hibiki added, "It must be a beautiful night. The trees are making a lot of noise."

"They're almost like a sheet waving in the wind." Red thinking of the best way to describe it. Hibiki nods understanding, or as well as he can. For a few minutes, neither did anything but sit on the porch.

Hibiki was staring out into the dark forest, not that he knows what's there. Red decided to ask, "Is everything okay, are you getting around fine?"

Hibiki expresses back, "Yes. Your house's layout is simple enough." Red watch as he barely mouthed something unintelligible than added signing, "You wouldn't let me get hurt."

Red smiles and motion back, "Right." He lifted his head looking up at the sky after noticing the night world has brighten up. It's a full moon, the clouds that once covered it had moved. Such a pretty sight, the clouds swept to one side of it allowing the stars to be poured in from the other side. He felt a hand creeping on his face. He allows Hibiki to touch the side of his face and neck. Hibiki then mimics Red, turning his head to look up where Red was looking, removing his hand from the other's face.

Hibiki started to reach up with his free arm, trying to feel for anything. Red takes Hibiki's hand that sat on top his, begins to motion. "The moon is out."

"What is it like?" Hibiki response back, lowering his extended hand. Red flats Hibiki's palm, then he lightly places his index and middle finger in the middle of his palm. He begins to gently make a circle in his palm. Then he signs, "Round and big." He watched Hibiki's expression as he smiles, still looking up, he removes his hands completely from the younger's one. He notices that Hibiki's, now, free hand begins to twitch and move trying to form his fingers around an imaginary ball. Red guess he remembered the moon from the model set he found. Red raises Hibiki's arm up and faces the clawing formed fingers to where the moon was. Hibiki's smile grew bigger that he was showing his teeth now. Red couldn't help but smile as big as Hibiki. He's happy to show Hibiki the world he can't see.

-NOTES-

Once upon a time, when browsing through some tags. I came across a headcannon/AU. It was forgotten for a while, then I was suggested to watch The Miracle Worker.
Anon of headcanon, if you're out there I hope you'll like. I don't see much on Red and Hibiki platonic or romantic, which is unfortunate- I think they could be a pretty good duo (either way)
I might make more for this concept since it's pretty fun to try. Try to actually have interactions with they're pokemon next time too.
For them to communicate they would do what the deafblind do, tactile sign language. I picture them using JSL (Japanese Sign Langauge).
I'll link to some if you're curious:
