(Feel free to skip
this is just scaramouche's
past)

"y/n," hu tao called out running at you as fast as she could as soon as she spotted you. You waved back with a small genuine smile happy to see her.

Behind her was Kazuha, Childe, and Signora with a stiff expression.

You also waved at them but only Kazuha waved back which was weird, Childe wasn't in his usual goofy mood and it was beginning to worry you.

"Well I guess we should explain?" Childe forced a laugh but you could tell it was fake as he leaned on his own car.

"We were in a gang I guess because of our environment. Jiwoo, you know him for sure he's the main problem. He was a spoilt little bastard actually even now I still feel like putting him in his place," an irk mark appeared at Childe's forehead as he held up his fist.

"The story Scaramouche told you isn't true but the intensions are. When we were in the gang our leader's name was tsaritsa. I'm pretty sure Jiwoo's girlfriend fell for Scaramouche and Jiwoo held a strong grudge against him for it," Signora continued for Childe.

He's holding a grudge because his girl left him for scaramouche? that's pathetic bro

"Jiwoo eventually found out that the three of us were in a gang and threatened us that he could let the principal know at any moment. We didn't care about school or anything it was Tsaritsa who didn't want us to be found."

"Jiwoo being the bastard he is began ordering us around. You know how Scaramouche is, he doesn't put up with that shit but we had to or else there was gonna be consequences and so finally Scaramouche had enough of his dumbass."

"He beat him to death behind the school," Signora bluntly stated and you didn't know what to say.

"And I think you know the rest," childe smiled at you. "So? You still want him?" Hu tao asked after hearing the whole story.

"of course I do."

"good to hear, I got a plan," Signora held up her phone in between her fingers with a smirk looking at all of you.

You tilted your head in response confused at what plan she had in her mind. That smirk was definitely not planning something innocent that's for sure.

"Break into his house."

————–

You were actually kind of thankful to Childe he drove two hours back to Scaramouche's house just to help you and for the first time you saw him in a differenf way.

He wasn't so bad after all.

"He's not here," you frowned not seeing his car parked in front of his house as childe stopped. "He's on his way and I know he is, Signora called him up calling him a coward," Childe informed with a laugh.

"Ei isn't home either... should I just break in?" You hummed getting out of the car and suprisingly Childe did as well.

"nope! lucky for you i got a spare key," he tossed up the spare key before catching it grinning at you.
