Pest Like Hat Jingles? (Scaramouche x Reader)

Chapter 32: Start to a Voyage

Summary: It's the morning you are to leave Liyue and set sail to Inuzuma. You get some goodbyes from friends (not that you have much) and an individual who leaves you more confused than before despite you already meeting him once
____________________________________

The morning air was crisp and the few morning dews that formed on the grass sparkled with whatever light hit them. The sun had barely begun to rise by the time you had awaken, struggled to get ready, and have your husband take your hand to leave your once apartment. As you both departed the stairs for the floors you couldn't help but whisper with whatever small voice you had left.

"Scara what about my payments and-"

"Already taken care of Y/N, don't stress." He answered immediately and continued to lead you towards the docks of Liyue where your ship waited obviously on a schedule. You bit the inside of your lip as you finally reached the last floor and left the complex, taking one last look back. The once place you had come to stay in, love in, be imprisoned in, and yet make life in... was being left behind. You were leaving Liyue to go to Inuzuma with your husband, the sixth of the Fatui Harbingers Scaramouche. The Balladeer

The feeling of nervous bile arose into your throat and you slapped your free hand over your mouth. It wasn't Scaramouche that made you nervous but going to a whole other nation of which you knew nothing about made you uneasy
The feeling and thoughts all hitting at once.

"Are you alright?" Scaramouche slowed his pace and sighed, pressing the back of his hand onto your forehead "Fuck... I should have bought you some medicine from the pharmacy before our voyage. You're still feeling sick."

Right as he began to look for an alternative route to take to ensure timing you swallowed what came up with disgust. "Not sick...." You mumbled "Just nervous is all..."

Oh, OHHHHH! Scaramouche's eyes widened only slightly in surprise, you were just a nervous mess. The warmth he felt on your forehead these last days were simply because you were just freaking out. Understandable but unnecessary in his eyes

"I see," he whispered back and made a sigh of relief. At least you weren't sick sick! That would have made your first voyage to another nation with him unbearable... he would have felt bad

After getting yourself together and constant reassurance to Scaramouche he agreed to continue towards the docks of Liyue. Eventually they came into view and at once so did the Fatui holding down the fort of the Fatui insignia covered boat you would be taking to Inuzuma. Your mouth practically dropped

"I-It's huge Scara!" You exclaimed and pointed at the boat. Your husband however took humor in your statement and crossed his arms with a smirk

"Oh now is it? That's never stopped you from taking it before~" he practically slurred his words and your cheeks flushed as you smacked his side

Scaramouche's small chuckle to your reaction was cut short when a lower rank came into his view and stood at attention. The woman's lips quivering almost, poor thing. She must have been so nervous to be in front of Scaramouche, but she had the right to be so. He was a bastard to all his men

"Hello!" You greeted with a small wave and stepped forward to spare her from Scaramouche's wrath "Is there anything you need to inform us of?"

The woman looked at Scaramouche and then back at you, at Scaramouche and then back at you, and at Scaramouche and then back at you. Her panic a little too obvious

With a sneer Scaramouche stepped forward to be exactly at your side, not behind nor in front. Equally so. "Your superior asked you a question you dumb fucking bitch..." he leaned forward in an intimidating way and clicked his tongue "So fucking answer... it's not HARD."
