In this one y/n is mute sometimes due to stress and, or not knowing/being comfortable around them
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You were hired at the ministry a few weeks ago and since then you had never met a ghoul. They lived on the opposite side to the humans and liked to stay on their side. One day you had left for a few hours and it had started snowing when you were out. Your car was stuck and you couldn't get home so you called a sister. They said that they would get you home and after you told them where you were they hung up. You sat in your car and waited in the warm heat. You heard a knock on your window a few seconds later and when you looked you saw a ghoul. You rolled the window down and they asked if you were y/n and you nodded your head. They told you they were going to get you home and you got out. "So you're going to get on my back and then I'm going to quick speed home, okay." He asked and you nodded again. "You know it's rude not to answer someone." He said not rudely but more offended and you signed that you were mute.
He apologised and then took you home. When you got back he put you down and you walked through the door. He asked if you were okay and you put thumbs up to him. "I can understand sign language if you would like to sign." He said and you signed okay. "Would you like me to take you to your room?" He asked and you signed yes. He walked towards the human area and then you guided him to your room. You walked in and then stood aside to ask him if he wanted to come in and he did.
"Are you okay miss y/n?" He asked and you signed yes. You signed 'thank you for getting me home, I thought I was going to have to sleep in my car.' And then laughed silently and he chuckled as well. "It's okay y/n I'm happy to help," you then signed 'can you tell me your name?' And he replied Aether.
You smiled at him and then offered him a drink of tea and he accepted. You put on some music and then made you both tea (if you drink coffee your wrong tea is better). You handed him his and he thanked you and you smiled. You both sat next to each other on your bed and drank. "So how is it working here I heard your new?" He asked. You signed 'It's fun, I prefer it to every other job I've had and it scared off my Christian mother finally because she was scared I would "turn her evil" ' and you both laughed.
He placed his hand on your thigh and gently stroked it while looking for signs of discomfort. When you didn't show any he kept his hand there. You both bopped along to the music and finished your drinks. You took his cup and yours and put it your sink/bowl.
You walked back over and sat next to him but closer this time. 'I'm not always mute, it's just when I'm nervous or never met someone before' you signed and he smiled, "one of my friends that's in hell still has selective mutism as well that's how I know sign." And smiled. He wrapped his arm around your shoulder and hugged you. Soon enough you yawned and he asked if you wanted to go to sleep you said no but ended up falling asleep on his shoulder. He tucked you into bed and then left back to his side after leaving his number on your nightstand.
