Silence is a Vertue (Saiki x OC)

Chapter 1

I could hear the voices. Everywhere there were voices. No they were thoughts. I missed the quiet, the quiet of being alone in my room, only hearing my family's thoughts. But I was no longer there, and could hear everyone's thoughts who were in a fifty meter radius around me. I just clung onto my brother, getting as close as I could to him. "You'll be fine Yasu," Shun assured me.

"No I will not," I complained into his head. That was the only way I could communicate. Sure I knew sign language, but that's only helpful if the other person dose to.  "It's so loud." I was close to crying.

I could tell he was getting annoyed with me. Stop complaining, I would give anything to have an awesome power like you. I knew he didn't want me to hear that, and I didn't want to hear that. But I can't turn it off. I hope she gets used to this soon, can't have her hanging around me and embarrassing me.

You may think this day was like any other, but it was anything but. Mom couldn't take me being a shut in anymore: taking classes online, and avoiding any and all possibilities of interacting with people face to face. So she is now forcing me to go to school. Of course the school was accommodating and let me be in the same class as my twin brother. But knowing one person doesn't out way the fear of not knowing everyone else.

What if they hate me? It wouldn't be like they could hide it, if hear all their thoughts. And being mute won't help. I'm a freak. I could pretend to be able to talk and just preject my thoughts to everyone's minds, but that would be really draining and I'd probably slip up. Better to be mute.

The moment I was forced to part from Shun was the most terrifying one of my life. I had been using his thoughts to focus on to drown out all the others. But know they came in like a flood.

There's another transfer student, haven't we got enough this year?

I hope it's a girl, no a cute girl.

I'm sure whoever this transfer student is, hell fawn all over me and go "oh wow."

I hope they're in my class.

I hope they aren't in my class.

Was everyone in this school thinking about me. Please don't let it be true. I don't want to be noticed. I don't even want to be here. "Time for class Yasu," the teacher told me, voices sounded louder than thoughts. Hopefully that will come in handy.I followed her up to classroom, and followed her in. The thoughts came flooding in.

It's a girl!

She's so cute!

Is she an otaku?

I wonder if she'd go out with me.

She cute, but not as cute as me.

I wonder how much it will cost to make her be my friend.

You're doing great Yasu.

Thanks Shun. But I looked down, maybe I went a bit over board with how I dressed. I had in a cloth face mask with a cat face on it, knee high pink pocadotted socks, and my long light blue hair was up in a bow. Of course all with the school uniform. I could have listened to my brothers thoughts and just worn the uniform. "Please introduce yourself to the class," the teacher told me, handing me a piece of chalk. I turned around to face the chalk board.

She's cute from behind too

Ew, perverted thought. I'd probably get plenty of those now. I first wrote my name, Kaido Yasu.

Kaido, like that weirdo.

Plenty of thoughts like that flooded my head. I didn't know how to take that. But I just continued like nothing was effecting me. That's how I was going to get through the day and return home time room. Next to my name I wrote a crucial statement. I am mute.

This loser can't talk.

Ugh, so bit worth it.

Why dose she even bother?

Awe poor thing.

She's probably gonna need as many friends as she can get. Not like I'm gonna be one though.

People's thoughts were filled with disgust and pitty. "Enough class," the teacher hushed them. I hadn't even noticed there was a murmur between them all. "Can we clear the seat behind Kaido-kun for Kaido-chan?" Great more special attention.

"But why?" some green haired guy asked, "Wouldn't it be better to put the ones with the same name further apart." No, I wanted to be near my brother. I'd be too frighten surrounded by people I don't know. I started shaking from fear.

What's wrong with her?

Is she gonna cry?

I think she's gonna blow.

Thanks other people's thoughts, mine weren't agonizing enough." Don't question the teacher!" some kid with spiky red hair declared, "They have their reasons." No one seemed to have argue with him and the seat behind my brother was quickly open. I signed thank you to the guy that moved. His face was covered in disgust.

Ew, don't blow kisses at me. I'm only moving cause I was told to.

The sign for thank you dose look a lot blowing a kiss. My gaze went to the ground as I slid into the sear behind my brother. "Hey she just thanked you," he hissed at the guy.

"Shun, you don't need to.." I told him telepathically. They should at least know you're being nice. Don't want untrue thoughts flooding your mind.

Shun stood up from his seat, to gain the entire class' attention. "You should at least learn what thank you is in sign language," my brother vigerouslystarred doing the sign.

What's he going in about this time?

Great, he's trying to be a hero again?

How would he even know that?

He's just trying to get brownie points.

" Like it matters to you, " the guy rolled his eyes at my brothers actions. I was sulking in my seat at this point. There is too much attention on me. I just wanted to go home.

"Of course it matters to me," Shun yelled, "I don't want you idiots misinterpreting my sister's actions." The voices went silent, but the voices blew up.

Sister!?

This two do look alike.

Ew, she's probably just as weird as her brother.

At least we won't need to hear her craziness.

Tears started falling down my face. I wouldn't be able to do this." Alright class, we've put of lessons long enough," the teacher claimed the class. "Maybe you two would be willing to teach the class a bit of sign language another time so Kaido-chan can communicate a bit easier."

The lesson started, but everyone's thoughts lingered on me. I reached coward and grabbed my brothers jacket as tears dripped from my eyes. "I can't do it," I told him. "I can't..."

Make it to lunch then I'll take you home. Thank you Shun. I know how much if a hassle I can be. I'll try to get better. I won't rely on you any more. I swear. Well maybe after I get used to all these thoughts.
