Our Silent Song (Mute Male Vastayan Reader x Sona)

Chapter 7. Friends

As the day went by, Y/N found himself to be quite comfortable in the Buvelle Mansion. Mostly around Sona. He was still shy around the staff and her mother, but her father was more than that. He was intimidated by him. Being the current head of House Buvelle gives one a certain aura. That aura being leadership. He had clearly seen a lot to since he was a older fellow. Meanwhile, Y/N was still in his early twenties. They simply don't compare. Sona reassures him that she won't let her father do or say anything hurtful towards him. Otherwise, there would be problems. Y/N appreciated that she would stand up for him but told her she didn't have too.

Their session overall was quite casual. Aside from their two physical contacts earlier, everything was quite normal. Sona had gotten the idea that Y/N should try and write lyrics to his own song. He understood that the meaning of music, aka its lyrics is what's really drives it home. Y/N decided to give it some thought which prompts Sona to tell him to take his time. Writing lyrics for a song is arguably the hardest part of music. There was the though of doing a full instrumental song, but that was for Y/N to decide.

Right now, they were all at the dinner table, partaking in some lovely sirloin steak with grilled sweet potato wedges. It was really good though Y/N is neutral towards meats and preferred other types of foods. Mostly nuts but obviously those are quite small for him. He didn't make that known though as to not be rude to the servants hard work. When Mr. Buvelle asked how their progress was going, Sona informs them that it was going well but it would be a long road. That they all knew obviously but Y/N was happy nonetheless. It wasn't every day one meets someone as nice as Sona.

Sona blushes at his comment while Mr. and Mrs. Buvelle raise an eyebrow in unison. Realizing what he just said, Y/N blushes deeply and hides his face behind his tail whilst putting his hands together in forgiveness. Sona giggles, remarking that it was alright. One of the servants had to inform Y/N of that though since he wasn't looking. Y/N peeks out from over his tail and sees Sona giving him a thumbs up. She then responds with saying that he was very sweet as well. He grins widely but continues to hide until he was able to hold a straight face.

Mrs. Buvelle informs him that he would have to go soon. Though they could accommodate a guest, they knew how much it mattered to him that the park remained clean. Y/N uncovers his face and gives a nod. It meant a lot to him that they would consider his volunteer work. Sona tells them that she would see him off since he was now her partner. He, of course, tells her that she didn't need to. Mr. Buvelle simply gives him a stern stare to make him change his mind. Once they were done eating, Y/N went up to the studio to grab his acoustic guitar. He may not have played it much today but there was always next time.

Before he walks out, he looks back to the piano and sees Sona's notebook. His curiosity gets the better of him so he looks at the lyrics again. It was clear that love was going through Sona's mind when she's writing this. The few lyrics she has gives that much away. Her admitting to feeling empty while writing it though brings up some questions. Was her heart not in it? As he reread the lyrics a few times, he could feel his heartbeat getting faster and his face heating up. All that was in his mind was Sona now. There were to many specific images of her as well.

He shakes his head, mentally telling himself that she was just helping him. That comment to himself hurt though. Sona then comes into the room, making Y/N jump and almost drop the notebook. The Maven seemed confused but Y/N simply tells her he was checking out her lyrics for ideas. He needed some sort of example. This wasn't wrong, merely half the truth. Sona smiles and tells him its alright, but it was time to go. He nods and heads down to the limousine with her. The two sat next to each other like before and listened to a song, this time it being I Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas.

The sun was setting so it was close enough to night. The two bop their heads in unison. Y/N taps his foot while Sona pats her leg. The two look at each and smile. Their movements begin to sync up, starting with them leaning left then right. When they leaned left, they tap their right foot and then the opposite when they lean right. When the Wooh-ooh comes up, they whistle at the same time. It was a shame that the limo had little room for dancing cause they really felt the urge to move. They then begin to mimic the upper body movements from the Just Dance game that had the song. The ride to the park wasn't long but too them, it felt much longer and they wanted it to continue for a bit.

When the limo stops at the park entrance and the servant opens the door, the two are frightened and almost hit their head on the car ceiling. The servant has to bite their bottom lip as to not laugh. Sona and Y/N then shift out of the limousine and stand at the park gate, the orange sky perfectly complimenting its scenery. The two look at each other and smiled. Y/N gave a simple little wave and began to walk away. Sona gets in front of him, making him stop. When he goes to ask what was wrong, Sona holds her arms out. Y/N recognized this as an offer. Sona just smiles which in turn, makes Y/N smile. The two share a warm hug before pulling back.

Sona then signs to him that they would meet up again in a few days as she had someone else she wanted to meet with. This mostly related to her song and she needed a voice obviously. Y/N nods and tells her that he will be waiting until then. He wouldn't be hard to find after all. The two then sit in silence before Sona moves her hands in a way that makes Y/N wide eyed.

She was asking if he wanted to be friends.

Y/N stares at her for a few moments before a big smile forms on his face. He then repeats 'friends' to her. This makes Sona smile widely as well. She embraces him once more before pulling back in embarrassment. As she apologies, Y/N tells her that it was alright. The next part he hesitated on though. He told her that he liked it. The evening sky made it hard to tell but he was blushing. Sona blushed as well but hers was even less obvious. One of the servants then calls for Sona, telling her that it was time to head back. Sona nods and realizes one mistake she had made. She pulls out her notebook and rips a piece of paper from it. As she goes to scribble something on it, Y/N watched in confusion. Sona then hands it over, revealing that it was her number.

Since they were friends and partners now, they needed to stay in contact. Y/N quickly suppressed the feeling he had earlier and thought nothing of it. He takes the paper, making sure to avoid touching her like before. Sona then waves and gives him one more hug. This one he does get to return. They then broke apart and Sona finally left. Y/N watched at the limousine drove back to the Buvelle Mansion. As it left his view, Y/N smiles and turns back into the park. Sona looks back from inside her ride and smiles as well.

They were friends now.
