Pest Like Hat Jingles? (Scaramouche x Reader)

Chapter 27: Failed Exam

Suddenly in your rambling you looked up at the sky and saw a dark starry sky "OH SHIT! What time is it?!"

Ekaterina looked up and raised a brow "Late enough I guess, why?"

Jumping out of the chair you grabbed your things and left a sum of mora on the table as a tip. "I got to go! Thanks for joining me Ekaterina! See you later!"

"No problem thanks for paying." She waved goodbye as you ran off. Ekaterina watched and brought the bottle to her lips before turning in your fleeing direction once more to shout with her hand by her lips "AND IF YOU TWO GET MARRIED I WANNA BE IN THE WEDDING!!"

Laughing you rolled your eyes and darted towards your apartment. He had to be home by now.

-

Scaramouche had indeed returned to your apartment and was sitting at the living room table. He had made tea to help with the amount of alcohol he consumed and thought you would like a cup as well. But he hoped you wouldn't tear up because this was your and Su's thing first. His tapping finger echoed loudly in the empty room

"Should I prepare a Yunio?" He asked himself and then shook his head "No thats too traditional! But what if she likes traditional?"

Archons this was difficult, if it wasn't for his hat he would have slammed his head on the table in pure frustration. How did normal people do this? At this point Scaramouche wasn't even going to ask, he would just throw you over his shoulder and board his ship with you kicking up a fuss. Both of you would just marry quickly on the voyage and have signed wedding papers of authenticity of your marriage. But he didn't need you to hate him the moment you both arrived at his homeland

"She probably won't even want to accept the proposal anyhow. What a foolish idea." He mumbled to himself but his eyes lit up when the door was being unlocked and opened. You came into view

His possible future wife.... The more he looked at you. The more he thought about you, the more he thought of the idea of you being his forever companion. Scaramouche didn't mind it

Although it seemed very rushed he knew you both would work it out. After he loved you and you loved him. That's what people in love do.....right?

"Sorry I'm late! Ekaterina was very sweet and we talked for a bit." You spoke immediately and set down your things. Your shoes soon after and Archons did your feet hurt from the speed and distance you ran

"It's fine." Scaramouche spoke calmly "How was it?"

"Great! I enjoyed it although I would have rather spent it with you." Your smile saddened only slightly and Scaramouche sighed, getting out of his seat to walk over to you.

"I told you no promises Y/N." He stated sternly and snatched your cheeks with his fingers firmly, it caused your lips to puff out.

"I know..." you mumbled and lifted your face from his hold, his face scrunched. It was obvious he intended to hold you longer "But I wanted to ask why you were so busy, the Fatui are scrambling all over the place. What's going on?"

His eyes never left your face, it was like he was expecting the question but not now. Surprisingly he blinked and shook his head softly "It's of no matter to you, worry not."

Crossing your arms you sighed "But it is," you started and held out your hand. You were going to say Ekaterina had mentioned that he had to tell you something but you knew Scaramouche would throw a fit at that. He would possibly harm her "All the lower ranks are saying that you need to tell me something."

"All....the lower ranks?" He asked and already his face was twisting in annoyance "Gossiping like children, how embarrassing to the Fatui." Scaramouche rolled his eyes and walked over to your couch, throwing himself backwards onto it. His eyes closed as he took deep breaths
