POV: The farmer just moved in, She wasn't always mute but decides to move to Pelican town for a change.

"Sebastian!" The annoying voice called for me from upstairs.

What does she want now..?

"What!?" I yelled back.

No awnser.

You gotta be kidding me.

"What is it?" I groaned stepping up the stairs.

Mom stood leaning on her desk and staring at me smugly, knowing well that it annoys me when she calls and doesn't awnser back when I do.

"Sebastian, this is the new farmer next door,

y/n this is Sebastian, you played as kids remember?"

I stepped into the room and there stood a small h/c haired girl.

"No I don't"

Who the hell..?

"What a party pooper, do you remember Y/n?" She turned to the girl again.

She shook her head no, smiling awkwardly.

What the..

In her hands was a notebook, she wore black overalls and a striped yellow, navy blue, and pink collared shirt under.

A backpack hung over her shoulders and she wore fingerless striped gloves on one hand and a black fingerless arm warmer on the other.

She had many bracelets and wrist bands on, including may band pins and patches on the pocket of her overalls which I very well recognized.

Is that an Mcr patch??

"Anywho, Y/n's going to be having dinner with us, so go and make the table please" she pushed me to the kitchen.

Dammit..

Cant i just eat in my room?

The table was done and Y/n walked in with Maru and Demetrius, mom finished cooking and set it down on the table.

Across from me was where Y/n sat, beside her was mom and the middle spot at the end was taken by Demetrius while Maru sat next to me.

Mom, Maru, and Demetrius did grace.

Why didint Y/n do it?

"You didint really do this type of stuff growing up corrrct? I remember your mom didint really do it either" Mom asked.

She nodded nervously, obviously embarrassed.

Why isint she talking?

"You can from Zuzu right? What's it like there?" Maru asked.

Zuzu? She's from the city?

_______________________________

Ah crap..

I'm gonna have to write everything down..

I picked my notebook up and started writing down everything I could.

'It was okay I guess.. not very many friendly people but overall it was fine'

"I'm confused.." Maru muttered as she stared at her food.

I looked down at my pumpkin soup.

Nothing had been moved.

Suddenly, the room felt tense as everyone looked at me.

Are the they waiting for me to take a bite? They haven't eaten yet either..

Slowly, I picked up my spoon and took a sip of the soup.

Yoba!?!???

THIS IS SO GOOD.

I smiled, feeling my eyes water with joy.

It's been so long since I've had a proper meal..

Not when I lived alone in my apartment..

"How is it?" Demetrius asked.

'Delicious!' I wrote down, putting the notebook up towards him.

"Why don't you talk?" Sebastian suddenly asked.

"I've been wondering the same thing.." Maru took a sip of her soup.

Demetrius nodded.

Oh..

Do they not..

"Oh! I'm so sorry! I forgot to tell you!" Robin spoke up.

"Y/n's mute"

Demetrius and Maru stared at her and then to me, clearly guilty for asking.

Ah..

Not this again..

"I-I'm so sorry!" Maru panicked.

I waved my hands at her and shook my head, telling her it was okay.

It's always the same reactions..

Except..

"Well what's so cool about that? It's not like it makes you special" Sebastian rolled his eyes.

For a second, it was like being blasted by a strong air coming my way.

Even though I don't remember him, I can really appreciate his comment.

"Sebastian!" Robin scolded.

"That is not a very nice thing to say to our new neighbour" Demetrius frowned at him, clearly mad.

"Look at her! She's speechless!" He yelled.

Literally..

It took all my strength in my wrists and hands to write as fast as I could.

'It's okay! It was nice to hear!! Usually people pity me but nobody ever really treats me normally so it was quite refreshing actually..'

They looked at me surprisingly.

'Thank you, and don't worry!! I know it doesn't make me special, it just makes me a little bit different from others' I raised the notebook above my face and towards Sebastian, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Y-your welcome..?"

I peeked out from behind my notebook and smiled at him as a thanks.

His soup must be really hot, his face is all red!

"Well.. I certainly do remember you Y/n, did you know your mom and I used to be bestfriends?"

I nodded excitedly, even though my moms gone now.. she used to talk about Robin all the time.

Robin was her best friend too, it's really nice to know mom had a good life..

So this is what a family looks like..

"Ah-ah-ah!" picked up my backpack from the ground beside the front door when Robin pulled me back suddenly.

"Sebastian, walk her home" She called to Sebastian who was just passing by to his room.

"Me?" He questioned.

I waved my hands at him, shaking my head as a sign for him to know it's okay.

'I can walk myself! Plus very strong!'

"Nonsense! I still can't let you go home alone! Come on Sebby!" She pulled on his sleeve rapidly.

He sighed and rolled his eyes at her.

"Just give me a second"

Sebastian walked downstairs and came back a few seconds later with his hands in the pockets of his hoodie, for a second I saw the outline of a lighter sitting by his hands.

"You ready?" He asked as he stood by me.

Man is he tall..

I nodded anxiously and we walked out and turned a right to the path towards my house.

"S-Sorry for what I said earlier.." he muttered under his breath.

I frowned at him, a little annoyed.

'What the heck? Go back to being mean, your making things awkward'

He pushed me softly chuckling at the comment.

"It's fine, like I said it was refreshing, you don't need to apologize, talking can be hard sometimes :)'

I added a smiley face for comfort.

"You.."

Ah!

'I wasn't always mute!! I could actually talk before!!'

"Oh.. what-"

'Selective mutism'

Even if it wasn't very well in the beginning.. I got better with talking to people by writing..

Somehow..

Even though it took a while..

"Oh.. so that's it.."

For a while it got quiet.

"Can.. you speak? Is it hard? Or.."

'I haven't tried but I will get treatment!' I smiled at him and he took the notebook, flipping through the pages as we walked.

I've had that book since middle school..

"Can you do sign language?"

Wait.

I took the book back and wrote as fast as I could.

'YES!! CAN YOU?? IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR OTHERS WHO CAN DO ASL SINCE ITS EASIER'

"Ah.. no I can't.." he whispered.

Dammit..

Now I'm embarrassed..

I got to excited didint I..?

"Can.. c-can you teach me?"

I looked over to him, he turned his head away, embarrassed.

'YES.' My index finger grazed over his chin and faced him to me before shoving the book in his face.

He looked at the words carefully.

"A-well then how do you say hello in sign language?"

I motioned with my hands slowly so he could get it.

"Ah I see.. so.." he did it properly.

Sebastians a good listener huh..?

'Correct! But then again you can just wave to me normally' I smirked at him.

His face went red from embarrassment.

"T-then.. how would you spell my name?" He muttered.

We got to the farm and sat down on the porch stairs, carefully teaching him the letters.

He nodded as he watched and I moved his hands and fingers around for better understanding.

His hands were pretty soft for a guys..

"Did I do it right..?" He whispered, looking at his hands.

I nodded and clapped for him in glee.

Sebastians the first to actually try at ASL..

'Thanks so much for doing this.. not very many people wanna have to learn a whole new language.. even if it's silent'

I smiled at my own joke.

The corner of his lips perked up in a soft smile.

'Well then.. I'll get going now" he stood up from the stairs.

I smiled and nodded before staring at the sunset.

The stars filled in the tones of orange and red so perfectly.

You never see anything like it when you live in the city.

"Then I'll get going" he waved goodbye and walked off towards his house.

My shoulders fell in a relaxed manner and walked up the stairs.

My shoes kicked something on my porch.

A small lighter was sitting by the door.

Ah.. it must've slipped out of Sebastians pocket!

Aw man..

I'll give it to him tomorrow then..

It was a regular black lighter but over the black was an Mcr sticker..

OH HELL YEAH.

THIS MAN HAS GREAT TASTE.

I'll make sure to talk his ear off about it next time we meet then!

Well..

Write his eyes off I guess...

Still..

What a weird guy..
