Mute music pt1

Music. Its something many people bond over. Something that takes over the eerily quiet air, filling it with harmonies. Notes swirling through the sky like birds with wind under their wings.

Music is what brings people together. But it sometimes tears them apart.

Y/n was the musician of the compound. Strumming her guitar everywhere she sat. The team never minded the soft notes that she would play, she was the type of girl that put others before herself. Which caused much regret after.. Like the time a friend of hers borrowed her guitar and returned it busted. y/n did nothing about it but only felt bad about it on the inside.

Music also helped get a certain message through to someone, a message that was too embarrassing to say out loud.. Or in y/ns case... sign out loud.

She was sitting in her room jotting down a few melodies when she heard JARVIS call her name. She removed her headphones to hear him properly

"Mr. Stark has requested your presence in the living room." the AI spoke, she stood up from her bed and hooked the headphones around her neck, stuffing the pencil behind her ear, knowing she was bound to lose it if she didn't.

She walked out of her room and to the living room where she found the entire team huddled up together and chattering, the place was filled with lots of happiness... except for that one corner.

Sitting in the corner of the couch was Loki. His brother Thor had recently brought him to earth for quality time with the mortals. unfortunately Loki wasn't very fond of that idea. He made no effort to talk to anyone unless they spoke to him first, which was a con to y/n.

Loki was dark and mysterious, reserved and very kept to himself. He was introverted and had no interest in socializing with anyone other than the characters in the books he read.

Even though Loki showed no interest in anyone, y/n would always catch him glancing at her whenever they were in the same room, she knew he wanted to make conversation, but she didnt exactly know how to start it.

"Oh hey! Thought I'd call you out here to chill out a bit, you've been couped up in your room all day." Tony said chuckling, he looked at the cards in his hands before drawing about eight cards and then muttering curse words to Natasha.

y/n nodded and smiled, watching as they continued playing cards and eventually all ganging up on Tony.

She mustered up all her courage before walking towards the brooding god, taking a seat next to him. She glanced at him and waved, eliciting a confused look from him

"May I help you mortal?" he said with a fed-up tone, her lips quirked into a smile before she rose her hands Infront of her, her hands moving quickly with different signs "Are you trying to mock me or something??"

Her hands slowly fell back to her lap and her smile disappeared, she swallowed thickly and looked at her lap

"Brother, Y/n isn't trying to insult you. She is mute.." Thor spoke up from one of the couches, he must've overheard the conversation and butted in

"Mute..?" Loki repeated, his brows furrowed slightly, and he stared at the ground, his face deep with thought "So you cannot talk?"

She shook her head gently, her eyes watching Tony try to cheat and hide his cards

"Loki, whatever you are thinking stop it. Y/n's ailment is not an invitation to cause havoc." Thor said sternly. She looked at him and smiled standing back up and slowly signing out

'Do you want something to eat?'

"No thank you y/n, I'm alright."

She walked out the living room and to the kitchen, she softly drummed her fingers against the fridge door, grabbing a few things to make a sandwich, when she closed the door, she let out a soundless yelp. Loki was standing there with a smirk.

"So, were you born like this or?" he asked, he grabbed the bread, putting two pieces on a plate for her, she shook her head with a small smile, starting to make her sandwich. Loki got a little frustrated at the lack of a clear response and summoned a notepad and a pen. Shoving it into her hands.

She looked at him confused and wrote on the piece of paper...

*I was not born like this. I was a lab rat before the Avengers found me. Because of the experiments, I lost my voice. *

She handed the book back to Loki and finished making her sandwich, Loki read over the words twice, trying to comprehend it.

"Very well, thank you. Enjoy your food." he said quickly, he walked out the kitchen and went back to his room, leaving y/n confused.

A few weeks had passed by since the day Loki and y/n first made conversation. Since then, Loki made it a priority to learn her language. And he's done a pretty damn good job of it.

It was early in the morning when he walked out his room and went to the kitchen, there he saw Steve and y/n eating breakfast and sweating

"Where did you two go?" he asked as he began making his tea

"We went on a run; she was up anyway so I dragged her with me." Steve said with a smile at her, she rolled her eyes and signed a few curses that Steve had not known, Loki snorted and quickly turned away, pouring his tea in his cup and making a run for the living room

He didn't get too far when y/n stood in front of him with furrowed brows

'Did you understand what I said?' she signed out slowly

"You do realize I dont understand your little hand language, right?" he said with an unamused voice, he was lying of course. He had also wanted to learn a few curse words himself for Thor.

She looked a little sad at his answer and moved out his way, sitting back down at the counter to finish her food.

"Would you like to join me a little later at the library?" he asked her, she looked a little dumbfounded at his request but nodded with a smile, he gave her a curt nod and waved at Steve before leaving.

He smiled to himself and went his way.
