Work Text:
Gulf sighed and tried to speak again but nothing came out. This is what he gets for partying all night with Mild. Gulf scolded himself for being irresponsible. He knows that his voice will be needed on his work. How is he going to have a productive day if he has no voice!
speaking of the devil.. Gulf rolled his eyes when his peaceful morning was disturbed by the loud ringtone of his phone.
“HEYYY GULF!!” Mild, greeted him with full energy and sunshine.
Gulf sighed, “This is your fault.” he tried speaking but no voice came out.
“Why are you whispering?” Mild copied the way Gulf answered him and Gulf swore if only he can punch Mild right now he’ll do it.
“I have no voice you idiot!” Gulf said and Mild just laughed.
“You know what, you sound extra cute when youre mad and doesnt have a voice.” Mild decided to tease the angry kitten.
Mild was about to say something when suddenly Gulf dropped the call and started to fix himself for today’s work.
“So how are you going to handle this? You have no voice how are you going to assist the guests?” His manager sighed. As much as he wants to send Gulf home for the younger to rest, he cant. The park needs more staff because today is weekend.
“I can just use a notepad. That should be fine.” Gulf whispered. Well, not really. He really tried to talk but nothing ever came out.
His manager sighed and handed him a notepad and pencil.
“Make sure this is going to be the last time.” His manager gave him a look and dismissed Gulf from the office.
Gulf walked towards his locker to fix himself for the last time before going out to the park. He made sure to put his notepad and pencil inside his pocket just in case someone needs his assistance.
The younger walked outside and he was greeted by a loud sound of different rides and sweet laughters of the little kids. He made his way towards the souvenir shop, making sure to smile at every guests he see on his way.
“Hey Gulfie!” his friend Kao walked towards him as soon as he entered the shop.
Gulf just smiled at him and gestures that he doesnt have a voice.
“Oh no! But today is weekend Gulf. The shop will be jam-packed later. Are you sure youre going to be okay?” Kao asked him.
Gulf flashed him a smile before taking his pencil and paper out.
“I’ll be okay. I’ll use this instead.” he wrote and showed it to Kao.
Kao smiled at him and gave Gulf a friendly pat on his shoulder before going to his station. The day went smoothly he had no problems directing confused costumers towards the section they wanted. Some would ask what happened to his voice so in the end Gulf made a small tag saying “Cant speak. Ursula the sea witch stole my voice”.
Thankfully, the guests finds the tag cute even the children. The closing time is going near, Gulf is just standing on his station when he noticed a curious looking little girl, staring at him.
Gulf smiled and tilts his head but the kid still didnt say anything. Gulf thinking maybe the little girl didnt get it.
He was about to pull out his notepad when suddenly the little girl held his wrist and started dragging him to who knows what location.
“Phi lost his voice! Would you like to be his true love?” The little kid asked a random stranger. Catching both the stranger and Gulf off guard.
WHAT?! Gulf freaked out internally.
“Umm” the stranger is not sure how to answer the little girl who is looking at him with puppy eyes and Gulf couldnt do anything so he just smiled at the stranger apologetically
The kid got impatient and moved to another stranger, still dragging the 185cm Gulfie with her.
“Would you be his true love? Please” she asked another stranger. This time the stranger just laughed and left.
They ran around the store but no one wanted to be Gulf’s “true love”
“Dont worry! I know one more person!” The little girl pats Gulf hand as if saying that everything is going to be okay. Gulf wanted to laugh at how pure and innocent this little girl is.
“There he is!” She pointed at someone outside the store and dragged Gulf with her again.
“DADA PLEASE BE HIS TRUE LOVE SO HE CAN HAVE HIS VOICE AGAIN!” The little girl pulled her dad’s hand.
Okay now this is way more embarrassing. Gulf cant help but blush at the situation. He didnt expect this kid to ask her own dad to be his true love
“W-what?!” The gentleman looked at his daughter and to the poor staff she has been dragging around and this time the kid’s dad caught off guard.
“Gulf.” the man whispered.
“Aow? You know him Dada?” The little girl asked her dad.
“Yes Natasha” He smiled at Natasha. “He is dada’s friend...”
“GREAT! You can be his true love then!” Natasha clapped her little hands “Okay now you can kiss my Dada Mew to have your voice back!”
Mew looked at Gulf and the younger is blushing like a tomato. Mew laughed a little
Mew smiled at the younger fondly.
“You know what I think the gentleman right here needs to close the shop.” Mew said as he carried Natasha because he knows that his daughter would still drag poor Gulf around just to find the true love.
“Okay but you have to kiss him first.” Natasha insisted.
Mew was about to answer when suddenly Gulf's co-worker called him inside.
"I have to go." Gulf wrote to his notepad and showed it to Mew and Natasha. Natasha pouted but she let Gulf go inside.
Gulf's day has ended and he still doesnt have his voice back. He sighed and stretched a little before taking his bag from his locker and leave the amusement park using the back door.
He was about to take out his phone to book a grab when he saw a familiar black expensive car at the parking lot. Gulf smiled and walked towards the car
He knocked at the window and the owner of the car rolled down the window.
"Hey cutie" Mew gave him a teasing smile and winked at him and Gulf just laughed at him. They have been dating for a year and yet Mew still flirts at him like crazy.
Mew stepped out from the car and gave his boyfriend a big hug and a quick kiss on his forehead. He knows how much Gulf enjoy his forehead kisses.
"What are you doing? Where's Natasha?" Gulf 'whispered' while trying to look inside the car.
"Jom picked her up." Mew answered. "Were you nervous a while ago when you figured out that she's my daughter?" Mew asked. They have been dating for a year but Gulf havent got a chance to meet Natasha in person and actually introduce himself as her dad's faen.
"Yes!" Gulf exclaimed. "You have no idea how nervous I was! For a moment I thought youre going to say that I'm your boyfriend!" Gulf babbled. Both Mew and Gulf wanted it to take it slow when it comes to Natasha because that kid gets attached to people so easily plus she's still a kid they didnt want the poor kid to be so confused with their set up.
"You still havent got your voice back I see." Mew commented. "Should I kiss you then? To get your voice back?" Mew gave Gulf a teasing smile
Gulf just laughed and nodded.
"Yes please." and Mew gave him a deep kiss.
Mew pulled out from the kiss, his lips just there ghosting over Gulf's lips.
"How about I set up a lunch tomorrow....with Natasha and introduce you to her officially." Mew proposed.
"Are you sure??
Mew kissed him again, "101% sure."
"Okay then." Gulf smiled. He is so happy because after the lunch tomorrow, no more hiding, no more secrets.
