Mute - Sub x Reader

Sub POV

I can't believe I kissed her! I mean, she kissed back... but surely that was just to be nice? No, it couldn't be. Yes, she likes me. But does she love me? Maybe not.

No, she loves you.

You love her.

Maybe I'm just insane. Would she love me?

She hates you.

Give up.

No, I can't. I hear a ding on my phone and pick it up. It's a text from Y/N. Why?

"Sub, I just want you to know I love you before I tell you this."

Oh, god.. is it something bad? My day has been going great!

"Today, I was walking to school. And hear someone call my name. It was Josh, the bully. I rolled my eyes and walked over to him. Guess what he said? HE WANTS TO GO ON A F*CKING DATE WITH ME. A. F*cking. Date."

Ha! See, she doesn't love you!

She loves Josh.

No, she doesn't. Does she? I text back.

"You declined, right?"

As I'm waiting for a response, I hear a knock at the door. Denis? Why is he here? "Hi, Sub! What's up?" I grab a piece of paper and pen and write. 'Nothing much, just texting Y/N.' I give him the note. He nods. "What are you texting about?" He asks, glances at my phone. 'See for yourself.' I write. I pick up my phone and see Y/N texted back.

"OF COURSE! I would easily choose you over Josh."

I crack a smile, and give Denis my phone. He reads it. "Josh bullies Y/N, then asks her on a date? Pretty stupid move, if you ask me." Denis chuckles a little. He hands me back my phone. I get a piece of paper and start writing. 'Why did you come here anyway?' I write. I give him the paper. "I have some bad news.." Denis tries to sound sad, but his eyes are filled with anger.

Maybe it's about Y/N.

Maybe Denis is here to tell you Y/N hates you.

She never loved you.

Denis shakes me a little. "Sub?" I snap back to reality. I must have blanked out. "So, your.. your father..." I blink at him questioningly. What's up with my dad? I thought he went to jail. "He.. h-he got out of jail.. very, very early." Denis looks very angry about it. He's clenching the side of the bed tightly. "And he's in this building." He blurts out. My jaw drops. I frantically write. 'Is he safe?' Denis reads the note, and hesitates. "I don't know." He whispers. I sink down under my covers. "I have called Y/N and told her about this, she should be almost here-" Y/N burst through the door. "Oh, thank god you're safe!" She runs to me, and gives me a little kiss on the cheek. I blush a bit, but she doesn't seem to notice. "Trust me. If your dad comes in here, we'll protect you." Y/N puts her hand over mine.

It's almost 7 pm, and nothing has happened. "Maybe he isn't here." Denis says standing up. "Well, what if he is, but he's just waiting for us to leave so he can hurt Sub?" Y/N protests. "Whelp, I'm leaving." Denis puts on his coat. "And I'm staying here, tell Ms. Kopotun I can't make it to school tomorrow." Y/N calls out to Denis, who is already walking out the door. Everything seems fine, until-

Gunshots.. and... Nearby?..

I need to speak.. I can't just write notes. I struggle to speak, but I manage. "Y-Y/N, we h-have to g-g-go." I grab her hand, and pull myself out of the hospital bed. She clings to my hand, obviously too shocked to speak. I open the door quietly and slowly. I look around the corner and run. Y/N stumbles behind me, but I have to keep going. I hear footsteps running behind me. I can't glance back. Y/N has tears running down her face, but she is quiet as f*ck. When the footsteps are not very close to me, I glance back.

My f*cking dad. With a f*cking gun.

"Y/N, r-r-run as fast-t as y-you can." I'm not even sure if she even heard me, but she picks up the pace. Where is Denis? As if on cue, I see a body. Denis. Should we drag him? He's too heavy. But we can't leave him here.. "Y/N, gr-grab Denis' h-h-hand and pull-l." Y/N does what I say, and she grabs him. He makes us significantly slower, but my dad is getting farther and farther away. I see Ms. Kopotun's house in the distance. "S-Scream for Ms. K-Kopotun to o-open the d-d-door-r." My throat hurts from talking, and I'm so tired. Y/N is yelling behind me. Ms. Kopotun see's us through the window and opens the door to the house.

I run in, and Y/N drags Denis in the house. Ms. Kopotun frantically closes the blinds, barricades the door, and turns all the lights off. Then she asks us what happened. Y/N explains in perfect detail. I then remember Denis and crawl to him. He was shot in the leg. I bite my lip. I check his pulse. "Oh, th-thank god.." I whisper, and fall back on the floor. "H-He's still a-a-alive." I look at Ms. Kopotun. She obviously takes notice that I was speaking, but she knows right now isn't the time to ask. There's a loud knock on the door, and Ms. Kopotun calls 911. Y/N curls up in a ball, and cries softly. I cuddle with her, hoping that she will feel a little bit better. I kiss her forehead. "Sh-Shhh.." I stroke her hair. "Don't talk, Sub, your voice will get weaker." She smiles shyly at me, and I smile back.

I hear gunshots and think he's shooting at the house, but then I realize it's the police shooting my father. I stand up. Y/N walks to Denis. She shakes him a little. "Denis?" Y/N tries to wake him up. I feel his pulse again. I point to his heart, and give a thumbs up. Y/N nods. Denis coughs a little. "Denis? Denis!" Y/N shakes him. Denis wakes with a start. "Denis." Y/N explains what happened. Denis nods. He moves his leg just a little, but he falls back in pain. "F*ck.. did he shoot me?" Denis asks. I nod a little. The police bust open the door, and put Denis in the stretcher. I watch Y/N wave to Denis. I rub her back with my palm. Ms. Kopotun checks us for injuries, but she only finds a few bruises. Y/N and I walk up to her and Denis' room. I have to sleep in Denis' bed. I change in the bathroom into my super fluffy pj's. I lay in bed, and get out a book from Denis' drawer. 'Warriors: Into The Wild'. It's about cats. Well, Denis does love cats. I decide that for now, I'll read some of the book. Y/N murmurs good night to me. I drift asleep pretty quickly.

I get woken up by screaming. It seems like it's only been a few minutes since I went to sleep, but it's been a couple hours. I sit up in my bed, and realize the screaming is coming Y/N. I jump out of bed and run to her. She pulls me into a hug. "Thank you." She whispers. I nod, as if to say, "You're welcome." I start to walk to my bed, but hear Y/N say something. "Can I sleep in your bed?" She asks shyly. "O-Of course." I say. "What did I tell you about talking!" We both giggle. She snuggles up next to me.

"I love you, Sub."

"I-I love y-y-you, too-o."
