Our Silent Song (Mute Male Vastayan Reader x Sona)

Chapter 10. What was Always Meant to Be

The two mute musicians returned to Y/N's tree house, still somewhat giddy from their misadventures. Now, since Y/N had made a mess of his home before thanks to the mud, he was more prepared. By that, he had a pair of slippers that he and Sona would reluctantly wear to the bathroom and a brown towel to keep the mud from dripping all over the floor. A mess would still be made, but it was nothing Y/N didn't mind cleaning up. Now was time for the dilemma though. There was only one bathroom, one brown towel and one pair of slippers. Being the gentlemen that he his, Y/N offers to let Sona go first. She counter argues that this was his home and that he should go first.

Whilst they argued about it, a thought sprung in the back of their heads. Sharing as much as they could. It was possibly to wipe off one foot and then giving each a slipper. Wrap the towel around the both of them and getting in the bath together. Y/N immediately shoots this down as he thought it to be beyond indecent and rude. Not to mention he has nothing for her to wear outside of his clothes. He needed to wash her dress as soon as he could. Sona was merely embarrassed at the thought of being in the same tub as him. She'd be able to wash his tail which she wanted to do. As a trade, he could wash her hair. But the whole situation was too intense for either one of them.

Seeing as that he wasn't giving ground, Sona decides to go first. Equipping herself with the slippers and towels, she heads on over to the bathroom and begins to strip her muddy clothes off. While she did that, Y/N scurried back outside to clean up just a bit. While the grass wasn't the best way to clean his feet, it did do some work. He could use the nearby pond but it was a little far and he couldn't see. Who knows if he'll run into his nemesis, the mud puddle on the way. As he came back up, he could see the bathroom door slight open, Sona's muddy dress sitting next to it. The water was running and from the sound of it, she was taking a bath instead of a shower.

Y/N could understand why. A relaxing bath sounded really nice and she earned it. It was a good show after all. Once the bath was full with a light bit of steam to it, Sona dipped inside and undid her hair. It flowed around and surrounded her body. She felt utterly relaxed in the hot water. She didn't even notice Y/N reaching in and taking her dress. He quickly put it in the washer and almost started it up. He was still in muddy clothes so it was kind of a waste to start. He'd be doing a good deed for Sona as she wouldn't have to wait as long. Thinking that he would get on his case for it, he opts not to wash it yet and goes to wash his hands.

He'd need clean hands to pick out clothes for her after all. Sona took her time getting all the muddy soil out of her hair. She had a lot of it so she kinda needed too. While she did, her mind wondered and wondered. She was blushing and not from the hot water. She was in her friends house for the first time, taking a bath while he took care of her clothing issue. Just barely an hour ago they played a duet together and blew the crowd away. Including the King who oddly shared Y/N's first name and had similar features. Something people found weird but thought nothing of.

She felt happy knowing he cared so much. Then again, she already knew that but being reminded of that made her feel warm inside. The lyrics of her song rang through her head like a record on repeat. Specifically, the two most important lines in it.

I have loved you for a thousand years
I love you for a thousand more

She wanted to be with him. He was just like her and that's all she could ever ask. She was simply scared of what confessing would do. Unbeknownst to her, Y/N liked her back. Every time he looked at her, Kiss the Girl by Ashley Tisdale would start in the back of his head and slowly get louder. Like her though, he was scared of what confessing would do. It was nice of both of them to be worried what the other would think but one would have to take the leap. Sona, deciding to take that leap, got out of the shower and began to dry herself off. By the time she was done, Y/N had already set her clothes inside. She wraps the towel around the torso and pushes them off to the side for now.

The fortune favors the bold line was on her mind. Right now, Y/N was off in the kitchen waiting for her to come out. Sona have a knock on the wall, getting his attention. He immediately blushes and looks away. This made communication harder for them so Sona just whistled to him. When he finally looked back, Sona signed that she was done and wanted to help him out. Y/N's face was a deep red which he hid. What he couldn't hide was the little wag his tail had. Saying no was more so the right than wrong, but he just couldn't. That would mean she'd touch his tail again. It was a form of affection he had desired for a while. After finally convincing himself to move, he slowly shuffles backwards before turning around and keeping his eyes to the floor.

He quickly signs that he wasn't going to look up. Sona, still finding his choice of actions sweet, gently raises his gaze up. His face was flushed but she tells him that it's alright. She then hands him a towel to cover himself with and turns around. Y/N knew he had to strip and somehow keep indecent thoughts out of his mind. He'd never forgive himself if he thought one naughty thing. He quickly pries his clothes off and wraps his lower half up with a towel. She had chose a larger one as opposed to the general small one males had in some anime. He was quite thankful for this. He quickly gets into the tub, the splashing being Sona's queue to turn back around.

His clothes were on the floor, making a light mess. She quickly picks them up and heads out to the washer with them. Seeing that it wasn't already on, she smiles knowing that he has learned who he is dealing with. She places them inside, along with a tide pod and sets it to wash for sixty minutes. While she did that, Y/N was washing his legs as he did not want to bother Sona with those. The water was slightly cooler than before but still felt nice. When she came back in, Y/N quickly averted his eyes again. While it was cute and kind of him, it was slightly annoying since he knew neither of them could speak. Sona eyes his tail and takes a deep breath.

This was were the edge was. Now was the time for the leap. Y/N listens to her shuffle behind him with a simple idea of what she was doing. She hums a little, making him look back. Her hands were hovering next to his tail with soap slowly dropping into the water. Y/N nods hesitantly, giving her the okay. Sona gulps and gently grips his tail. An electric shock is sent throughout Y/N's body and made him feel a rather relaxing pleasure. As Sona occasionally applied pressure, Y/N was forced to suppress a squeak. This was already awkward enough, he didn't need to make it any more awkward.

Sona, meanwhile, was enjoying the feeling. His tail was nice to touch despite being wet and she felt good for helping him. Washing a tail isn't too hard but she was sure he appreciated the help, despite their current situation. Eventually, it was time to wash the soap. Sona releases it and lets Y/N dip it into the water. It sways around on its own, cleaning itself. Now was time for his hair and ears and they both knew it. Y/N gulps and slowly shifts towards Sona until they were facing one another. Their faces were red but noticeably more calm now. The atmosphere wasn't so bad now. The two looked at each other in that familiar silence. Sona then takes a deep breath and begins signing to him. Before she could complete the sentence, Y/N leans forward and presses his lips against hers.

Sona was caught off guard but quickly fell into it. Their hearts were beating as one whilst in the moment. Y/N's tail was completely curling in and out of the water. The two pull back and slowly open their eyes to stare at one another. Sona smiles and pushes her hair out of her face. Y/N averts his gaze slightly and scratches his chin. He was just listening to the song in his head. The two stare into each others eyes again and smile. Y/N goes to raise his hands but Sona stops him, making him lower them back down. Though she didn't have a voice, she didn't need it. Her lips were enough. With them, she mouthed...

I love you.

Y/N smiles and mouthed back...

I love you too.
