A Silent Song - corpsekkuno

Chapter 5

-Corpse's POV-

Corpse sat in his room in a discord call with Sykkuno, Toast, Rae, and Jack. All of them were streaming except Corpse, but he wanted to be part of it. He was playing with them and just made the excuse that his throat hurt too much to be talking. Which, wasn't too much of a lie. His throat did hurt a bit, it just couldn't impact him talking. Corpse sighed sadly and put his head on his desk, not wanting to play anymore. Once again, for the third time that day, Corpse tried to say something, only to be greeted with silence. He frowned, feeling his depression worsen as the heavy feeling in his chest got worse. He turned off his computer and went into the living room, mindlessly walking around. Getting frustrated and upset, Corpse walked out of the house and went to Nino's. He knocked. He heard Nino say something and watched as he opened the door. "Hey bubba.. You alright?" Nino asked, letting Corpse inside. Corpse shook his head softly and walked in. *I need to talk to you and Lotus please* Corpse signed. Nino nodded and called Lotus into the room. Lotus looked exhausted. They had bags under their eyes and their hair was messed up. "They didn't sleep well last night," Nino explained and sat on the couch with everyone. *I need to know how you guys deal with Lotus not talking. I know it's a bit different because you two aren't dating but please I just need to know, I'm lost and I hate seeing Sy so sad,* Corpse signed. Nino looked at Lotus and sighed softly. "Like I said to Sy, It's really hard to live together sometimes, I miss Lotus's voice all the time and I miss seeing them so happy. They don't even do their happy stim anymore..." Nino paused and looked over at Corpse. "It doesn't get easier. You're just gonna have to find new ways to communicate with each other.. Lotus texts me even if we are right next to each other or they sign," Nino said and looked over at Lotus who had been typing away on their phone. Corpse looked over as well and sighed, feeling his heart drop more after what Nino had said. He felt his phone go off and looked at it. "From the position of someone who doesn't talk, it fucking sucks. I want to talk to Nino and Sy and you but I can't. I understand our situations are a bit different but they raise similar feelings. Look, Corpse, you're gonna just have to learn to work around it or find a way to be able to talk again. But considering everything, I'm not sure how possible you being able to talk will be. We will both help you no matter what you decide but you need to know that even when it doesn't feel like it, Sy still loves you and you still love him, And nothing, no matter what will ever change that. And because of that, you both will do anything you guys can to make the situation more comfy for each other. And you're gonna want to leave because you're not gonna want to see him so upset and you're gonna hate seeing him feel how he feels and you're going to think that leaving him is gonna make it easier for him and help him feel better. Do not leave. It won't help. It will just hurt you both so much more. Trust me" the message read. Corpse frowned and nodded softly. *I want to be able to talk* Corpse signed. "Then we will figure it out okay? We will do a fuck ton of research and see if there's anything that would work," Nino said simply. *But the doctor said there was no way I can talk again* Corpse replied and looked at his phone. *Speaking of,, I have to go, thank you guys* Corpse said and left, tears filling his eyes as soon as he walked outside. "This isn't fair," he thought and went to the doctor for a check-up.
