Wilford ran down the halls, tears blinding his field of vision. It couldn't be true, he couldn't have lost his voice. They can't take that from him... can they? He paused seeing one of the egos walk by.
It was Oliver, was reading a chart before looking up at Wilford, his smile wavering. "Wil?... buddy are you okay-?" Oliver yelped when Wilford grabbed him by his shoulders, yanking him forward, his pink eyes staring into Oliver's, causing Oliver to hide behind his chart, staring at Wilford with wide eyes.
*Oliver?! Pally?! C-Can you hear m-me?!* He asked shaking the Android's shoulders desperately.
Oliver blinked squinting his eyes. "What?... you're not saying anything."
Wilford whimpered as he looked overseeing another ego walk in, seeing red. He grabbed his shoulder, watching as he turned to him with scorn. *C-Can You hear me?!*
"Get off of me!" Red snapped, pushing Wilford off. "I don't want to play any of your stupid games!"
"Have a heart red, he doesn't look too happy," Oliver whispered as he rubbed Wilford's shoulder.
"He's just being dramatic."
*I'M N-NOT BEING DRAMATIC!* Wilford cried but still, no voice came out, watching as red stared at him like he was stupid. He just sobbed again as he ran out of the room.
"Wil wait!" Oliver held out his hand, but Wilford was already gone. He watched as red scuffed leaving the room. Oliver looked down before whispering. "I got to find Jamie." He then ran down the hall.
Wilford yanked his door open before running in, slamming the door shut. He breathed in and out heavily before the weight of the situation finally came down on him causing him to let out a heart ranching sob, that only sounded like wheezing since he had no voice.
He had... no... voice. He couldn't speak talk... laugh... anything.
He sobbed harder, not worried that anyone would hear him since... They can't now. He fell to his knees, hugging himself, rocking back and forth.
All because he was talking, telling stories, and jokes. He thought that they liked it... why did they do this to him?
*wh-what did I d-do?* He mouthed, squinting his eyes shut.
He continued to cry, feeling like time was flying by. But a sudden knock on the door caused him to gasp. He slowly looked at the door, jumping as another knock came a second later. *wh-who is-?* Wilford froze, realizing that he still didn't have a voice, building more tears in his eyes. Another knock came causing him to let out a silent sigh, slowly getting up to his feet as he walked over to the door, staring at it for a moment before opening it up, seeing Jamie on the other side, looking at him in worry.
"Wil?" He started to sign. "Oliver came and got me. He said you were crying and you looked as though you were-." Jamie jumped when Wilford lunged at Jamie wrapping his arms around him, sobbing into his shoulder. Jamie was left frozen, feeling as Wilford squeezed tightly, pressing his head into his neck. Jamie seconds later slowly wrapped his arms around him, rubbing his back and combing his hand through his pink hair trying to soothe him. He listened to his breathing which he was starting to hyperventilate, causing him to silently shush him, trying to calm him down. He waited for a minute or two, finally pulling away, looking up at the towering ego, his eyes closed as he sniffled. He gently tugged his arm, getting his attention. He slowly started to sign. "Wil what's the matter? What happened?"
Wilford tried to speak, tell him the whole ordeal but Jamie stared at him in confusion. He was so frustrated, so he just shook his head, crying again. He felt as Jamie rubbed his arms trying to soothe him once more. Then the pink ego got an idea, he slowly pulled away, getting his attention. He slowly lifted his arms doing sign with the best of his memory. "Jamie?"
