◢◤◢◤◢◤ SCARAMOUCHE POV !
He came close to his breaking point now. Four sleepless nights in a row; his mother had been out of town all week and will be going into the next. He would have to do something about the constant noise, but he didn't know where to begin.
Knock, knock. The front door. The first night, on the first knock, he went down to check. No one. Again. Scaramouche saw nobody. Again. No one. He fell asleep on the couch that night.
The second night and the third night. Knock knock. He didn't look after the first time. Now, he didn't bother getting up to check at all. Please just leave me alone, motherfucker. But he had never seen anyone. There were no motherfuckers.
private messages (scaramoucheee, 01100100_01110010)
Scaramouche stared at the messages. The Doctor, my ass. Some strange theorist side of him wanted to blame everything on this "Doctor" guy. So he did.
fuck you. He typed, again and again, but he never hit send.
Scaramouche closed his eyes for a chance at sleep, to no avail.
Knock knock.
◢◤◢◤◢◤ YOUR POV !
You weren't entirely there. The weekend passed in a blur, then came Monday, then Tuesday, and you weren't entirely sure it was Wednesday. But the date at the top of your phone's lock screen said so, and you forced yourself out of bed like any other day.

For the first time during class, you looked up at the board. Clustered with Ms. Susumu's tiny writing and jumbled numbers and letters that hardly made sense, you scrambled to write it down before she erased it. You were sure whatever you were missing wouldn't be that important. Susumu had always been known for her easy tests and essays; as long as the class was on her good side.
You looked over at Yoimiya, seated on the opposite side of the room, and took out your phone again. Only when you opened your private messages did you realize you hadn't spoken with just her over text in over a month. Well, in all fairness, you sort of had that type of friendship.

As promised, Scaramouche walked over to where Childe sat and took a seat. The professor had told them to work on their latest assignment on their own, but nobody else was listening, and she didn't care.
"What's up, buddy?" Tartaglia asked with his signature ridiculous smirk of a smile. "Do you know the answer to number two?"
"No." Scaramouche waited.
"Okay, fine, you know how I'm your best friend in the whole wide world and want to see you succeed?"
"No."
"You make things difficult."
"Mhm."
"Anyways, Rosalyne wants to ask Y/N out."
"Okay?" Shit.
Damn. What did he care about what Rosalyne did? Who cares about Rosalyne, who she asked out and who she liked?
He did. Because it was Y/N. Shit.
◢◤◢◤◢◤ ❝ you ask me ❞
Knock knock. Again. But Scaramouche was too busy replaying that damned conversation with Tartaglia earlier to give a damn about— Knock knock.
Anyways, Rosalyne wants to ask Y/N out. He said it so nonchalantly, despite all seemed to know. Scaramouche looked back at his messages with Rosalyne. That one night. Oh.

That's awkward
Obviously it was awkward. Way back then?
rosa.lohefalter
That's awkward
rosa.lohefalter
That's awkward
rosa.lohefalter
That's awkward
He read the message again and again. Knock knock. That's awkward. Knock knock. That's awkward.
Scaramouche turned off his phone. Out of sight, out of mind, or whatever it was Miko said often when he went frantic. But Miko wasn't here, neither was his mother, so what did he care?
That's right. Knock knock. What did he care? He didn't. He didn't give a shit about what Rosalyne did, what Y/N did, about the constant knocking and the weird conversations with the Doctor. He stared at the blank television on the wall adjacent to his bed. Scaramouche saw his faint reflection in the empty screen. He didn't care. He didn't before. So what made him start in the first place?

His heart raced, he almost deleted the message.
But it was too late. He already sent it.
