[Xander]
It's been 3,000 years since I updated. I dun even know my updating schedule anymore so you can expect messed up updates.
This isn't a tragedy because I believe that most of you need a break from it.
Xander x Mute! Reader.
The new king of Nohr hasn't been getting a lot of sleep lately.
His mind was stressed and heavy with all the problems that Nohr was facing.
The pressure was enough to crack a skull.
(Which, fun fact, should be around 2300 newtons or more.)
His mind was racked with so many things he even drew reformation plans on his mashed potatoes.
Not a good sign.
Elise suggested sleeping more but Xander couldn't sleep with all the problems in his head.
Camilla suggested relaxing for a few days.
"Listen to some calming music while reading a book or something"
She said "that might help."
Well, he got the book covered but the music part. Not so much.
He rubbed his temples and ordered Peri and Laslow to bring him a talented musician who can play well.
Laslow and Peri looked around a nearby town.
It wasn't too far from the main capital so it seemed like a good place to start.
"Why are we even looking here of all places? It's just a boring, old town"
Peri whined.
Laslow didn't answer.
People told him that there was a carpenter shop that made musical instruments here, if so then it's possible that musicians would come there to buy instruments. Right?
Laslow's ears picked up a harp being played.
"Over here" Laslow said beckoning Peri over.
They introduced themselves to the carpenter and stated their goal.
"You're looking for a talented musician for the king?" He asked.
"Yes" Laslow replied "we heard a harp being played so we thought we would come check it out"
The carpenter scratched his beard "hmm, that would be my daughter, she can play all sorts of musical instruments"
"Then we would like to take her to the palace"
"I'll only allow it if she willingly goes, I'll go ask her, how long will she be staying there?"
"Forever, she can visit whenever she wants though"
The carpenter let out a deep sigh "I guess it's finally time to let my daughter go"
He trudged up a flight of stairs.
Peri and Laslow awkwardly just stood there for an amount of time before the carpenter came down with a stunningly beautiful girl.
"This is my daughter (y/n), she has agreed to go. She'll need to pack her-"
"No" Laslow interrupted "it's fine, it will all be provided in castle"
The carpenter nodded before hugging his daughter good bye.
"She's mute so don't expect her to say anything!" he called out as they were leaving. Laslow nodded in reply.
Xander stared at this young girl they had brought in "you're mute?" He asked.
She nodded in reply.
"(Y/n) huh, how many instruments can you play?"
She held up four fingers.
"I see, dinner will be served soon. In the dining hall, there's a harp there"
Understanding immediately she nodded again.
The royal family of Nohr complimented you about your musical skills. Indirectly of course.
"Ah, this is wonderful."
Camilla said.
"Big bro Xander found a good one!"
Elise giggled.
"She's mute though, it's a pity"
Leo said.
The dining table became quiet except for the sound of your harp.
Realizing what he said, Leo quickly fixed his statement.
"She must've learned by hearing, she isn't reading any notes. That is real talent"
He said hastily.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
You would often play for Xander in his personal study, in the throne room and even when he was going to sleep.
By this point, Xander had learned to read all your gestures since you were mute.
You would play the violin, the flute, the piano, and the harp.
Xander hummed as he read a book with your violin music in the background.
"(Y/n), you have done such a great deal of service to me; I would like to reward you" he said out of the blue.
You stopped playing your violin to shake your head.
"Ask me anything" he urged "I will give you anything you want, whether it be your own city to rule or a mansion of your own. What do you want?"
Xander wondered why he favored this mute musician so much, was it because of her playing? Or maybe all that time spent together led to something even more? Xander didn't know.
You shook your head once more and continued to play the violin.
A few days later; a messenger came with a letter for (y/n).
It turns out that (y/n)'s father was horribly ill and her parents didn't have enough money to buy the medicine he needs.
(Y/n) debated whether to go and ask Xander for that reward or just buy it with her own money.
It was wrong to ask for something when she already tuned down the offer.
She decided that she would buy it with her own money.
As she was exiting the castle she bumped into Xander.
"Hmm? (Y/n), where are you going?" he asked.
You held up your wallet.
"You're going to buy something? You could've requested it from me"
You shook your head.
"You're too humble aren't you"
You blushed a little from his sudden compliment.
"May I ask, what are you buying?"
You gave him the letter.
After reading it, he frowned.
"We have these medicines at the infirmary. You could've just taken some"
You shook your head and crossed you arms.
"You don't want to steal? Why, you're really honest aren't you? Very well" Xander called for a servant and ordered him to take a bag of the required medicine and take it to your parent's house.
You gaped as you watched the servant leave to retrieve the medicine.
"Don't be afraid to ask for anything" Xander said.
Why was he treating you so kind? He was really generous. You wanted to ask him but you couldn't talk, you were okay with communicating with simple 'yes' and 'no' and Xander could read you pretty well already but this is going to take writing to communicate.
You knocked on the doors of the throne room.
Xander allowed you to come inside.
You bowed and gave him the note that you wrote.
He raised his eyebrow "why am I being so nice to you?" He asked.
You nodded.
"It's hard to explain, I feel like I need to reward you for whet you've done for me"
You tilted your head to show your confusion.
"It's odd how feelings work" Xander said running his hand through his hair.
(How he does that, I have no idea)
You frowned waiting for a more specific explanation.
He got up and walked down to you.
He took your hands in his.
At this point you didn't know what was happening.
"Look, like I said; it's strange how feelings work and I don't know if you'll feel the same way or not but...I'll go for it anyway"
He kissed your forehead and breathed deeply "I love you, we've been spending so much time together and I couldn't help but grow feelings for you. Will you marry me?"
You stared blankly at him before trying to replicate how his lips moved.
"I...l-love...you t-too" you said.
His eyes widened in shock.
"You can speak!"
You nodded.
He picked you up and spun you around.
"Actions speak louder then words my dear, don't be afraid to show it"
How was that? Took me forever!
