Mute - Sub x Reader

Y/N POV

I feel someone lightly shaking me. I open my eyes a bit and see Denis standing next to my bed. "What's wrong, Denis?" I mumble tiredly. "Sub wants to text you." He whispers. I take my phone from him.

This isn't real. This is fake. But I can't be. I type slowly, but I make sure that everything is perfect. At the end I put, "I love you ❤️". After a couple minutes I get a text back.

"I love you too 💚"

I smirk and show Denis. "Aw, you like him!" Denis pushes my shoulder gently. "N-No, I don't! I like him as a friend." I cross my arms. Denis sets my phone on my desk. He starts to walk away from my bed, but he whispers, "Oh, and," he turns around and looks at me, "I saw your home screen." He winks at me and crawls into his bed.

I awake the next morning tired. Obviously Denis is tired, too, but he always seems to be. Denis and I wait at the bus stop for Braden, Alex, and Elijah. "Denis, what time is it?" I ask. "6:10 am." This bus is supposed to be here at 5:50. Then it clicks.

"Ugh, Denis! We have no school today, it's a holiday." I walk back towards Denis' house. "Dammit." Denis follows me. I walk in the house and plop on the couch. "I'm going back to sleep." Denis walks upstairs. "Ok!" I yell upstairs. I get out my phone and text Sub.

"Hi! How r u doing?"

I ask. He probably won't respond quickly. It's early in the morning.

"Hey. I'm doing good, actually."

He responds.

"I forgot we didn't have school today 😂"

I start a conversation. Sub seems to be doing well. I lay down on the couch to text.

"Bye 👋"

Sub texts.

"Bai bai!!"

I put my phone down and I fall asleep.

My eyes flutter open and my eyes adjust to the light. There's a blanket on me. I sit up and turn around. Ms. Kopotun is making pancakes for breakfast. Denis is helping her. "Good morning, Y/N!" Denis smiles. "Good morning." I smile a bit. I stretch, and walk to Denis. "How are you, Y/N?" Ms. Kopotun asks. "Good."

I sit down at the dining table. "So, Y/N," Ms. Kopotun takes a bite of a pancake, "how is Sub?" She chews the pancake. Denis glances at me. "Well," I look at Denis. "Um.. Denis, can you tell her please?" I ask. He sighs, and sets his fork down. I mouth 'thank you' and keep eating.

I'm concentrating on eating when I hear Denis talking about the "I love you too 💚" text. "Ugh, Denis!" I blush. I slump back in my chair. "Oh, it's fine Y/N! I won't tell anyone." Ms. Kopotun winks.

"I'll do the dishes." I pick up the plates and bring them to the sink. "Thank you, Y/N." Ms. Kopotun says as she walks upstairs. "No problemo!" I smile. I'm scrubbing the one of the last plates when my phone rings. "Denis, can you get that?" I call over my shoulder. He nods, and picks up the phone. "It's from the hospital." Denis says. I see a glint of worry in his eyes. I think of Sub. What happened to him? Did he slit himself again? Oh my god... I tell Denis to answer.

I finish the dishes, and dry my hands quickly. I rush over to Denis, who is still on the phone. He keeps nodding and saying "Yeah" and "Okay". The glint of worry he had in his eye disappears and my anxiety fades away a bit.

All of a sudden, Denis jumps up from the couch, and screams, "WHAT!?" I ask what happened. He takes the phone away from his ear, quickly says bye, and hangs up. "I'll explain in the car. We have to go." Denis grabs his coat and throws mine to me. "Ms. Kopotun! Denis and I have something important to do! Bye!" I yell upstairs, and run after Denis who is already starting the car. I get in the passengers and ask what happened. "You're not gonna like this," Denis pulls out of the driveway and starts towards the hospital, "Something happened with Sub." I saw it coming, but I'm surprised still. "What happened to him?!" My voice cracks. "He.. He slit himself and lost more blood." Denis picks up some noise blocking headphones from the cup holder and puts them on. I scream, cry, cough, and talk at the same time.

My Sub..

He's so sweet.

And kind.

And innocent.

And such a great friend.

I love him.

How could he do this?

Cliffhanger!!! Sorry xD
