꒰ request ﹕ “ Hiii so I noticed ur reqs are openn so can I pls req a nonverbal reader, like Very much just answer questions in classes and barely talk just because it's their nature and that led to an argument with their S/O? Maybe epel and Silver? It's an angst/comfort thing idk but hopefully I was understandable 😭😭 oh and if it was difficult with dear silver can you try with Lilia pls? ” ꒱
content : angst ,, slight comfort ,, nonverbal gn reader ,, swearing ,, Vil and Lilia give silver and epel a stern talking ,, not proofread ,, LILIA MIGHT BE THE MOST OOC (i haven’t completed diasomnia yet) ,, headcanons+oneshots ,, may be ooc .
ARLA YAP : another one i reallyyyy enjoyed writing, though i did struggle abit— that’s my fault hah i made it more difficult for myself on accident, had to change some of it while writing it, but are you really a writer if it isn’t difficult? tysm for requesting have a great day i hope you like it hah.
DISCLAIMER : when writing this it did not come across my mind to research anything regarding nonverbal people, and i am so sorry if none of this is correct, it’s not realistic or it feels like i’m mocking it— that is not my intent, i am sorry if this upsets anyone with how i have portrayed it in this, have a good day 💗

—> you being non verbal he likes it, not in a ‘oh he romanticises it’ he is use to use to everyone in nrc being far to cocky, loud, arrogant or persistent and it ticks him right off! so having you especially as his partner makes him feel better especially with the fact he can hang out with you in pure silence after getting yelled at by Vil.
—> you guys don’t often have fights and but today was different, Epel had been hanging around Ace whereas deuce was with Jack.
—> Ace being the worst influence ever decided to mess with Spel, “jeez no wonder [name] doesn’t even talk to you either” originally Epel never though much about how quiet you were, he figured you had some sort of selective mutism as you did talk sometimes— only really ever answering questions though.
—> i feel like since your partner he doesn’t like to be angry at all, he prefers attempting to communicate however they way Ace was talking was riling him up immediately.
—> he doesn’t head to ramshackle right after, doesn’t text or call you, you are immediately taken a back by this as he usually clings to you.
—> after a day, he still hasn’t spoke to you only dropping occasional stares at you during class yet whenever you try to go up to him suddenly him and a very confused jack are deep in conversation.
—> after that day he knows your searching for him, he’s seen the notifications from you on his phone begging him to talk to you and how you are confused.
—> luckily you manage to find him, catching him on his own while jack walks away.
—> you don’t talk at first, glancing up at him as you hold onto his wrist, up until you finally managed to find your words.
ᯓ “epel.” your voice is at your usual quiet volume, the lights humming over you. yet you don’t raise your voice, Epel on the other hand, his face is going red.
“what now??” he scoffed, still not even bothering to look at you, “what you only now just realised you had a boyfriend you should actually talk to?” he doesn’t even think before he talks, he just does.
you stay quiet, obviously. though this time it isnt your usual comfortable silence. the silence is hurting, you release his wrist, and look down. kicking the floor as if to make him actually look at you without using your own words.
he finally does look at you, he doesn’t know what is wrong with himself but his anger flickered on his face turning into a guilty look, he doesn’t speak, he doesn’t believe he needs to.
“sorry.” the sorry was quiet, your voice cracking ever so slightly as you said that simple, short and single word.
he is about to open his mouth to talk, he swears he is trying! but it just falls back shut as you turn and begin to walk away from him, leaving him stood in the empty hallways.
the silence in the hallway was almost mocking him, not one person even walked past him it was empty, completely soulless as if pushing him to chase you instead of most likely getting haunted for the rest of his life.
—> Epel only came to his senses and realised how bad he messed up when he was moaning about it to Jack, who looked him dead in the eyes and refused to defend him, “and you chose to hang out with Ace over them because..?” it wasn’t just Jack either, unfortunately for the boy Vil had happened to run into you crying, of course you didn’t talk to him about what happened; and Vil didn’t need you too, he wasn’t stupid after all.
—> safe to say Vil ended up knocking sense into him and even added another strict rule, “and no more talking to Ace when you have no one else to talk to, sit alone and think about how you acted.”

—> him having a nonverbal partner makes sense to me, as much as i can see him attracting someone more energetic i think having someone quiet and someone who talks only for small important things he likes.
—> well you don’t disturb his naps, even if they aren’t exactly needed at the time and can get him in trouble by sebek or even lilia.
—> i don’t think he would start an argument with you, like if he did it would have to be really serious, he normally tries his best to be patient with you.
—> say if he did have an argument with you, it would have to have been his final straw, like say it’s just you two and he’s napping while resting on you and he’s told you to wake him up if you hear his phone buzz but you completely forget.
—> like i said it would of have to have been his final straw so may this has happened more then once but he’s remained calm to you even after getting in trouble for it.
—> so this time when he wakes up to a very-surprisingly- angry lilia he is pissed, he definitely wouldn’t make as much as a big deal as Epel did.
ᯓ “you had to wake me up” he groans his voice having that very obvious and usual drowsy tone, he stands up, he is debating to scold you or just quickly rush to where he has to be, he shakes his head in disagreement with his own first option, “i told you to—.” he cut himself of pausing before swiftly turned away, “we can talk later.”
and then he ran out of ramshackle dorm, no goodbye kiss none of it, you could tell he was annoyed you just didn’t understand why, he knows about your issues within talking, and hey in your defence he looked extremely peaceful.
—> suddenly Silver is the hardest man to find, which isn’t new but usually he does come back to talk to you after some silly moment between the two of you, but this time it was different.
—> you had tried asking around for him, but you just got awkward looks, your words hadn’t come out properly like usual, you tried your best you really did.
—> meanwhile Silver is in diasomnia, looking over Malleus and Lilia as per usual, but he’s more quiet and on edge, he hasn’t even took a nap standing yet!
—> the rest of them notice, Sebek speaks up first; voice loud and laced with his usual pride. “does your mood have something to do with that human?” Silver tenses up at the mention of you, he shrugs it off staring right at sebek who gave him a look to which he then explained, Lilias eyes widened ever so slightly, Malleus sighed, and Sebek? he furrowed his brows as he glanced at Lilia then back at Silver.
—> Lilia was the next one to speak, “don’t be to angry at them! maybe they forgot, you wouldn’t know would you? you haven’t spoke to them since.” Silver felt his heart stop as his father said those last words, he hadn’t mentioned that part at all in his words. Lilia on the other hand just smirked, of course he found out.
—> safe to say he immediately went to find you, no one stopped him, no one spoke not even Sebek raised his voice again.
—> he eventually found you back at ramshackle dorm, he didn’t say anything at first even after practically breaking the door he just stared at you, you stared back. it was like a race to see who would crack first, and it wasn’t you. even while you stood there with a red face and puffy eyes.
—> he instantly got closer and pulled you into his chest, mumbling a quiet and extremely worn out, “i’m sorry baby.”

—> i don’t think he really minds that you, his beloved partner, is nonverbal, he loves you despite that and who’s to say he hasn’t met someone like you before? he’s an old man of course he has.
—> i can’t actually see Lilia and you getting in an argument, he’s not one to get that mad over something especially as he’s met thousands of people he’s been in war too, so i think much like Silver it would have to be somewhat serious in order for it to happen.
—> say you both do have some issue, he tries his best to figure out a solution immediately it shouldnt be to hard, that’s what he thinks anyway, he’s been though a whole war he must have a solution to everything.
—> but this time, he couldn’t take it anymore. lack of sleep and everything else got to him, you were only listening to him as he spoke but he cracked.
ᯓ he pauses what he was previously saying, staring at you. “are you even listening to me?—“ for once his voice cracked, he looked serious, you didn’t even reply just stared back, it felt almost like you were mocking him.
“because it really doesn’t feel like it,” he continues, his eyes never leaving yours. “we are together aren’t we?” you nod your head, “doesn’t feel like it.” he states, nothing else just those 4 words.
but he realises his mistake right after, he can sense the change in your demeanor; how you look down, avoiding him right after he says those words. he doesn’t apologise straight up, “i just— need space. i’ll be back.” he says before he heads for the door not even glancing back at you. he can’t, he knows he shouldn’t of took his mood out on you, he feels guilty.
—> once he is alone and finished with whatever it is he was doing, he gets up to and he’s instantly looking for you, which isn’t to hard when he can quite literally feel your presence from a mile away.
—> he takes his time though, he’s rehearsing what it is he needs to say, but once he finds you, he feels his throat go dry so he just stands there, suddenly he’s the mute one.
—> you just run up to him, and hug him, you realised too what you did wrong, and it was your fault. but he knows you shut down most times and that you just feel comfortable more when it’s him talking.
—> he doesn’t say anything, it’s just the both of you breathing in an empty hallway, wrapped in each others arms.
—> he swears he will control his emotions better anddd his sleeping schedule, he will make it up you he promises.
