Sign Language [nekocybucu oneshot]

Untitled

The rattle sounds from the little engine room in the corner creaking slowly. That cyborg. With a haggard impression on his face, looks like he doesn't know what to do with the throat that can't make any sounds of his.

"These things rarely happen to me... still, it's a hard case to fix. I might need 1 to 2 days to fix it completely. It's such a hassle even with a modern cyborg like me."

Him, a cyborg from the future, has learned sign language in case stuff like this happen. But unfortunately, none of his friends know how to use sign language, which is a big problem for him.

"Woah...it's embarrassing.." - He lie down, put one of his arm on his face. 

"I don't know what to do if I can't speak.."

"They would probably think I am annoying.., and useless because I can't even fix a small error like this.." -  Muttering to himself.

Random thoughts flown around his mind, he has always been like this, you know, a sensitive man. It distracts him from the reality. His lips purse tightly. He's lying in the silences. Alone. Slowly fall asleep.

.

"HEY! FULGUR!" A loud but familiar voice from nowhere wakes him up immediately. Fulgur startled, jumps up. Even though he is a cyborg whom built up by metal, his heart beats fast like it gonna die sooner or later. A load of people rush in that little engine room where Fulgur is lying. 

- Hey, there is a caffe shop I find really cool nearby, do you wanna come with us Fulgur?

- Yeh yeh you should come with us pogggg it will be reallyyyy fun!

- Are you still asleep??? pffftt hurry and wake up baby boy.

.

Fulgur can't say anything.

His heart beats faster.

He clumsy take his phone out and type on it.

"I can't talk right now."

- Huh? You can't talk?? Why?

"I have a problem with my voice converter and I don't have the ability to fix it right now."

- Oh.. we see..

- Then you can just type it down when you need to say something to us right? That's a relief we don't live in 1800s or something lol.

"Yes, that's true but..."

"Stupid Fulgy, breaks your stuff again huh? You are such a carelessness idiot."

"...?"

"Yeh i'm talking to you Fungus, have any problems?"

Fulgur, with a surprise face, looks straight to the guy who stands in front of him. That guy gives Fulgur a really annoying smirk, at the same time, squint his eyes to carefully  check on Fulgur's body.

"How the fuck do you know sign language Alban???" - Panicking, Fulgur talked back to that brown hair catboy by sign language with trembling hands.

"Why should I tell you?" - Alban  smugly, feeling amused.

"..."

"I saw you studied sign language when everyone wasn't around, I don't know if it's necessary for you or for me but if you are trying to learn it, I think I should learn it too, in case we need to use it to communicate in the future." - Alban mumbled.

"Ah..." - Fulgur turns his face down to avoid Alban's gaze.

"Thanks." - Fulgur's cheek blushes, his heart thumps faster and faster. He has always been a person who would fall for someone this easily.

"Lollll why being so formal huh Fungus? Still, I think you should go with everyone to that caffe shop. It's pretty good, I got somethings to do so i'm not gonna go though, but don't be so sad pfftt. It's a good chance for you to get along with everybody.."

"I don't need your care stupid cat, I know what to do."

"Oh really? then imma head back home now, see ya soon~"

"And one more thing.." - Alban lower his head to look straight into Fulgur's eyes and quietly speaks with his mouth.

"I love you."

.

Like a gun that shoot right into Fulgur's heart, he keeps his face turned toward the ground, hide his red face from everyone.

.

- Alban leaved, he said he has somethings to do right? Woah what a shame, he should have just come with us.

- So Fulgur, done talking with Alban? Do you wanna go?

Fulgur reclines, shakes his head while his heart still pounding in his .

"No...no, I don't think so."
