Summary: Scaramouche begins to discuss how to propose to you with Childe within the Northland bank. However you don't want Ekaterina to get in trouble outside of work so you drag her back

That makes everything harder for Scaramouche. How was he supposed to plan a proposal with you in the same room?

Scaramouche paced within the office as he held his chin in thought. The soft sound of his shoes sounded out as it hit the ground each time. He had made the unfortunate mistake of informing Childe that he was going to follow through with his idea. And now....

Scaramouche's eyes shot to the door when a loud sound began echoing through the hallway. Placing a hand on his hip the short Harbinger waited and waited, until his expected guest slammed through the office door. Both hands on the each side of the door frame as Childe breathed heavily, his chest rising and falling with each one.

"You're actually gonna fucking do it? Holy shit YES!" The ginger yelled and Scaramouche's lips formed into a scowl as he ushered Childe in.

"Get your dumbass in here before you announce it to all of Liyue! Archons Childe!" He sneered and slammed the door shut.

Now don't get Scaramouche wrong. He still absolutely hated the ginger for what he pulled with you. But right now Scaramouche needed his help, Childe knew women better him.

"Ah apologies," Childe smirked and waved his hand in apology "So tell me everything,
All the details. How will you propose? With a ring or something more traditional? Will you have a big ceremony or private? Actually am I even invited?"

Scaramouche cringed at the ginger's excitement and used his finger to silence him. "Too many damn questions. And I've yet to actually propose to Y/N. That's why you're here."

Childe's mouth opened for a moment and closed in silence. He ran all this way for nothing? Hell he left a perfectly good sparing lesson for this. But this also opened a door of opportunities for his interest

"What do you want me to do?" His fellow Harbinger asked while sticking his hands into his pockets. Childe was pretty good with women yes, but not in a marriage type of way. But still now that he thought about it.... He would be a lot better at figuring it out than Scaramouche. Nodding Childe realized why he was called here

"I just need help putting it together, My main problem is asking!" Scaramouche pinched his nose in frustration "Shit I haven't even told her I'm being deployed soon".

Childe sucked in air through his gritted teeth and leaned back on his heels "Yikes, what a way to pop the question. No offense but that should have mentioned long ago. What were you scared?"

Scaramouche shot Childe a look and it was enough to almost make the ginger swear a challenge was being issued. However Childe could understand the fear that Scaramouche may have been feeling, after all you both had barely gotten back together. All that just for Scaramouche to tell you he was leaving you, not on purpose of course

"Ah, so you were." The ginger smirked and shrugged "No shame in that I suppose. You have to tell her in like...." He tapped his chin on thought, counting the days until his fellow Harbinger's deployment. Which was soon

"Two days." Scaramouche answered for him, eyes on the ground as he sighed in utter frustration. "That's why I need your help. It's also why I needed your lackeys help, whatever her name was."

"Ekaterina-"

"Whatever yeah her."

Silence fell through once more and Childe crossed his arms. It was obvious that Scaramouche was stressed out about this, and usually Childe was to tease him for it so. But right now he needed to be serious, he owed him that much.
