White Lies || Scaramouche X Reader

Chapter 27 - Liyue... again

Either way, you nodded back to him as he left the house. You knew it would probably be uncomfortable for him, so you weren't upset about him leaving for a bit.

Lu Wen quickly leaned in closer to you as Scaramouche closed the door behind him, "Sooo! What have you guys done?"

"Hm?" You looked at her in complete confusion. In all honesty, you had no clue what she was even asking.

"Like, have you kissed yet? Made out? Or perhaps, have you two done the deed-"

"LU WEN." You yelled at her, not expecting that to come out of her mouth at all. Those questions left you in an embarrassed state.

Though you hadn't actually done anything worth noting with him, you still felt flustered at the mere thought. You quickly glanced away, "Even if we did do any of those things, I'm not obligated to share."

"Hm. You're right, it's none of my business. But I was just curious!" She smiled at you, "Ever since.. your mom passed away, I haven't seen you interested in anyone, like you felt you didn't deserve it. But now that you've found someone special, I'm really happy for you.."

Lu Wen started to tear up. Was it that surprising? You understood why though, you did close off your heart when you're mom died, but it was probably subconsciously.

"Sorry, I'm just glad you and him are doing well. Who knows, maybe you'll get married one day!"

Marriage..

You never thought about it before, let alone being in a relationship. Of course, you weren't one to marry someone you just met, so that was completely out of the question as of now.

You rolled your eyes and grinned, "It's way too early to think about that kind of stuff." You smirked, leaning on the table, "What about you though? When are you and your boyfriend going to tie the knot, huh? It's been about 3 years."

Lu Wen giggled. Yet that laugh eventually turned into a serious tone, "Honestly, I'm starting to think he doesn't want to settle down.."

The atmosphere totally changed from an enjoyable aura to a somewhat depressing one.

She continued, "I know he loves me, I just don't know if he's willing to take me as his wife. He's always busy with work, and I know he finds time for me, which is great, but I don't see him changing career paths just to be with me."

As you were going to say something, she started speaking again.

"I also don't know if he's ready for kids, either. I of course want kids, but having them might slow him down at work.." Lu Wen glanced down at her bracelet, which was gifted to her by her boyfriend, "Maybe I should talk to him about it."

You gently took her hand, looking into her tear filled eyes, "If he loves you more than anything, he'll go wherever you are. I wouldn't worry too much, he's a great guy, maybe he's just nervous to ask you!"

She smiled, "Maybe. Thanks Y/N. You've always been a good listener, that's part of the reason I love you."

You have Lu Wen a comforting hug. Just as the moment had ended, the door swung open.

You both turned around to see Tobi dragging Scaramouche into the house by the arm.

"I caught the bad guy!" Tobi yelled. Scaramouche obviously looked annoyed, but he knew better than to retaliate against him. After all, he was just a little kid, and your brother at that.

You quickly got up and separated the two, "Woah, Tobi! Be nice, okay?"

Tobi glared at Scaramouche as you knelt down in front of him, "Hey, even if he was a bad guy, you don't bring him into the house, got it? What if he really was bad? What if he stole all of your candy? What would you do then?"

"I'd beat him up!!" Tobi confidently grinned, making his hands into fists.

You couldn't help but laugh, "That's right!"

Tobi's tone changed, "But he really is bad! I saw him with those mask people!"

"Mask people?" Lu Wen glanced over at Scaramouche, then at you, "What does he mean by that, Y/N?"

A/N
