Just an act - Kazuscara

Chapter 6

Scaramouche pov:
I thought it was pretty early when I woke up.. on someone's bed. I don't remember anything that happened last night. And I don't remember Yoimiya telling me there's a guest room.. how did I even end up here in the first place?

"Looks like someone's awake" someone next to me faked a giggled, "it's 7 o'clock, wanna have breakfast? By the way your phone has been ringing. I suggest you check it, just so you know what's going on." He sorrowfully said.

"Yeah sure. Whatever. You didn't go over my phone right?" I said tiredly and looked over my phone. '9 missed calls from Ei..' I thought, 'let's just see what she texted me.'

"I don't even know your phone password." He said as he left the room, "is a sandwich fine?"

I kept looking at the text, apparently Ei tried to tell me telling him that someone had been injured on the way here. 'A plane crash.' I thought to myself.

6:23am

Ei:
Scaramouche, come to Bubu pharmacy at this moment.
There's also no rehearsal today.

I came out of the bedroom and saw Kazuha hugging Yoimiya tightly, "no, no, no, please I loved him so much... I overslept—I could've gotten to see him... at least for the last time." Kazuha said through while sobbing. Sayu held onto his legs, who's also crying.

'He likes someone else? ...' I thought to myself, I tried to keep a distance away from the three until Yoimiya spotted me from Kazuha's bedroom. "Scara.. come out, I can see you."

"Why? Is Kazuha okay?" I asked, looking down, "why is Sayu crying too.."

"Tomo died due to a plane crash." Yoimiya said unhappily.

'Tomo? The guy that was suppose to lead this series to the resolution? Let alone the climax.' I thought. 'Haha.. why do I feel so.. inflated? I don't even like him.'

I usually second guess myself but this time it was different. I felt like a window that someone threw a rock at; shattering into millions of bits and pieces, cuts all over someone's body, the unclear mindset. The glass window was me, and the 'someone' is Kazuha.. I can't bear to look at his face. "Yoimiya, I'm leaving, sorry." I stated, making sure she heard that bright and clear.

"No need to be sorry. Just get going, I'm sure your sister is worried right now."

I ran outside of their apartment, grabbing onto my phone. I wish I could disappear; I wish to never see him again, but the possibility of that is low, unless Kokomi arrives—the estimated time is near a month.

I didn't go back home, I didn't want to see Ei, I felt sick, I...

Time skip:
"2 dango milkshakes please." I said walking into an Inazuma local store in Liyue.

"Yeah here you go, you want cold right?"

"Yes.."

"That will be 3000 mora." Damn, same as Inazuma. They hand me over the drinks and I started walking home.

"KUNI!" I heard while opening the door, "I assume you got my text right? You left me on read."

"How do I answer you when I overslept while someone dying."  I answered, uninterestedly.

"... oh yeah right. I'm glad that you're safe." She said, "what's up with that glumly face?"

As I handed her over a bottle of dango milk. I mumbled, "he doesn't love me b-back..." not sure if Ei heard what I said.

"You got rejected?" Ei patted me on the head and gave me a hug.

"N-no.. I just feel like he doesn't."

"Scaramouche, I'm sorry that you feel that way."

"It was only for the act, right? Ei, you know about this, right?" I said with tears in my eyes. I haven't cried in forever, but somehow, it felt nice letting go my tears once in awhile.

Authors note:
I didn't post yesterday, I'm so mad at myself. I slept at 7pm, I woke up at 12am, almost 1am right now. At least I got some sleep idk? 5 hours is a lot you know for someone like me lol

Anyways I got Xiao at 31 pity, on 50/50. (My 3rd time winning 50/50 btw; mihoyo just loves giving my characters I don't want) I didn't want him but alright, I was building Shenhe too— Mihoyo, why do they use the same materials like boi I had over 300 qingxin flowers and now I have like 78 or something. I still need to ascend Xiao to 90, which is enough qingxin flowers but WTF

Talent books too- I had so much Philosophies of Prosperity or whatever you call them and now they're gone from me leveling Shenhe's talents so I had almost nothing when I got Xiao, how great. My mora is dying and I need more slime concentrate. ;-;

Ganyu comes out today for NA server! Yay, but not like I'm going to get her. All my friends are going to become like Ganyu mains and then there's just me ._.
Not like I want to waste more qingxin flowers and mora but like I already had everything ready for Ganyu smh. I could literally double crown her if I wanted to but now I can't get her cause no way I'm ever getting a 5* at early pity ever again lol.

Anyways this chapter is borin, I literally write the most basic stuff ever.
