[Slight Scaramouche/Albedo] Coincidence

(a/n: this was also for a writing assignment so it's short again. sorry! i might expand on this some more considering i LOVE albedo and scaramouche. also it's modern au)

Kunikuzushi could not believe that Nahida is doing this to him right now.

“I told you,” he loudly groaned, pinching the area between his brows. “nothing happened. I’ve told you this more than once already.”

Nahida was somewhat of a mother figure to him. Ever since she found him wandering without a home and no place to stay during one of her nature walks, she instantly offered to help him by giving him proper food, a proper bed, and a proper education. Kunikuzushi genuinely could not determine where she received all of the money from - but because of her persistence and determination, he couldn’t find it in himself to deny help. They’ve been living in the same house for 3 years, and even though he hates to admit it, he’s grown comfortable living there. 

The only thing that makes him hate it? Is the fact that she’s nosy. 

“You don’t have to say anything, Kabuki,” Nahida giggled, putting a hand to her mouth. Kabuki was just a shorter, easier nickname for him. “It’s written all over your face! You met a friend, I can just tell.” As reluctant as he is to face the fact, he also hates the fact that she always was right when she had her suspicions about something. 

With a heavy exhale, Kunikuzushi crossed his arms and frowned down at her. “Whatever. He was just the most bearable to be around during class.” 

Nahida’s gaze seeped into his, knowing with only a simple smile. “And what did you two do?”

Both hearing the question and seeing the expression on her face made his redden in embarrassment. His voice lowered into a barely audible tone, replying: “He helped me with chemistry.”

She was still able to hear his reply nonetheless, and her face brightened into a wide smile. “Awe, really?? It’s wonderful that you accepted his help! You normally never accept help from others.” Feeling such joy, she clasped her hands together in praise.

He sighed heavily in response, and his frown deepened. Despite this, his blush intensified at her tease. “It was a one time thing, okay?? We aren’t close, we just-” Pausing for a moment, he ran a hair across his dark bangs to ease his emotions. “... it was just… coincidental.”

Nahida’s smile twitched - not as a threat, but to hold back another giggle. “Coincidental? Seems awfully funny to me, because I see a new phone number that goes by ‘Albedo’ texting you right now."

Instantly, Kunikuzushi’s face twisted into one of appall. “What?? Where??”

She inwardly deadpanned. Using her finger, she pointed to the nearby, seemingly forgotten phone on the table. The dark-haired student said nothing in response, and only groaned once more. He snatched his phone and quickly retreated to his room upstairs with a huff.

OVERTHINKING, Scaramouche/Wanderer x GN!Reader

PART 1: OVERTHINKING

PART 2: HIS POINT OF VIEW

PART 3: HELPLESS

PART 4: THE AFTER-EFFECT

PART 5: I LOVE YOU DUMMY

It’ll all go down hill if the other party decides that he is not interested in pursuing something further with you. it will all lead to something sad. like you for example, aren’t you overthinking, assuming, being overly anxious of what has happened between the connection with the person whom you’re talking to? Let’s all calmly and sadly face the truth, that not everyone wants to be with us and etc. because, no one bothers to stay even when we’re at our lowest, there would always be that one person whom will just glance and look away at you.  there would always be that one person who will simply, just stop to see what’s happening and walk away. there would be someone who will not care less of what you’re feeling, and simply intentionally ignore you. Leading to whatever feeling you’re feeling.

*  *

It has all begun, when you had enough courage to talk to your crush to show him that you’re interested in him, only for it to backfire.

Scara isn’t really a person who you can keep conversations with, he’d simply brush you away or ignore you, but suddenly he started replying to your messages.

which gave you a bit of hope. but you had also hoped that you did not fall for that stupid shit. Being in the same Group Chats as him made you delusional, whenever he chats you’re there swooning at his cold replies towards your group of friends.

you’d hit the reply button the instant he texts something in the GC, only to be ignored completely, which made you even more determined to gather his attention.

you’ll always go and complain to your friends on why you’re such a cupioromantic or why you’re such a hopeless romantic, in which made them become fed up with your delusions.

“ He has only seen my message! is he that speechless? “ ‘ Yeah, girl he is. ‘ ‘ No doubt he’s trying to think of ways to confess ‘

‘ He’s ignoring you for being a nuisance. ‘ “ ... “ that’s how everyday conversations with your friends go. two are feeding you DELULU and one is fed up and wants you to focus on yourself.

* *

Scara is seen walking down the halls cellular phone on hand, he seems to not be paying attention to where he’s going, ending up him stumbling backwards because he just bumped onto you.

grumpily regaining his footing he glared at the person.

“ Watch where you’re going. “ he spat out continuing to scroll down through his phone, you stood still trying to comprehend the fact that he just talked to you.. before squealing. Scara looked back at you in confusion and waved it off, walking fast paced towards the exit, Scara hummed to himself continuing scrolling through his phone, before stopping at the message notification, he grumbled. it’s you again, that one annoying pest that doesn’t even know how to get the hint. he sighed as he started typing a response, he seems to have an idea in mind.

completely getting carried away, he found that talking to you is quite refreshing. he found solace in your company. he would never admit it but he seemed to have quite a huge interest on you. 

2 weeks has passed, and you’re feeling over the clouds, who would never know? that the SCARAMOUCHE has been talking to you for 2 WEEKS! amazing!

you giggled as you sat on your bed, hugging a penguin plush tightly before sending scara a screenshot of a lyric from a song.

[ Maghihintay ako Hanggang mapasayo ]

[ (translation) I will wait until I’m yours ]

scaramouche scoffs as he simply reacted at the ss you sent and typed a response

“ I need some time to think. “ and sent it to you. you smiled as you stare at his response for more than 2 minutes before sending another message. 

“ Take your time “ 

you smiled happily without knowing the confusion and discomfort that will settle down in your heart the next day.

-------

( Y/N POV )

I woke up feeling giddy, I sat down on my couch as i opened messenger, to check whether he has replied nor seen it.. turns out he hasn’t read it so I spent all of my time, distracting myself by doing my homework and watching movies on Netflix.

bored. i opened my phone to see him online, i checked the conversation whether he has seen it, i shrugged as i find out he still hasn’t read my message.

couple of hours has passed. i am now staring at his icon with a green dot, below his profile. he’s online and he won’t reply? is he that busy?

i gnawed on my nails as i laid down on my bed. i shouldn’t worry too much, he must be doing something and left the tab open.

i sleepily closed my eyes as i fell into a deep slumber. It is the start. of my feelings downfall.

----

waking up completely out of void, feeling like something bad is happening or coming, i sighed as I checked once more, before becoming disappointed. Feeling empty and confused, i am left with my over bearing thoughts that is eating me alive. ‘ Why did he show that he’s interested in me? ‘, ‘ why did he show that he cares for me..? why? only to leave me in the dust. ‘ i shook those thoughts away as i calmed myself down. ‘It’s going to be fine, it has only been 2 days since then, it won’t impact you that much.’ oh how i was completely wrong.

i stayed in my room wondering what could’ve happened if I didn’t fully show him my feelings towards him, if i didn’t really let him know of what i was feeling. 

a bunch of “what if’s” a bunch of “Why’s” but never “ I shouldn’t have. “ 

i sobbed on my pillow feeling distressed, the gnawing pain that’s on my heart, the confusion that’s lingering on my brain. the exasperated breathing that i am doing to inhale oxygen. 

He must be talking to his friends. He must be having fun or playing.. but in all honesty, why should I care, why should i have to endure all of this emotions, all of these feelings, when he’s not even mine.

i shouldn’t have messaged him, i should’ve just admired him from afar and let time make me move on slowly.

why does it have to hurt this bad? you’re not even mine..

why do i have to overthink?.. when you’re not even mine.

~ Second meetings and reluctant apologies ~

Synopsis: When your mother told you about Aunty Buer's nephew, who was visiting for the summer, you were expecting a kind, shy boy who loved helping out his aunty and spending time with the lonely elders and cheerful children of the neighborhood. It was quite the surprise when you found out just how mean Kunikuzushi really was. Your first encounter went poorly, and you were absolutely dreading your next meeting. You already hate him. But, a lot can change in one summer... perhaps you'll have different views of each other by the time school starts again, and Kunikuzushi has to return to Inazuma..?

a/n: Hahaha... I took forever to write this part... I'm sorry pookies 🤧🤧🤧

Kunikuzushi x Sumerian!gn!reader / no pronouns used / <3

♡ Part 1

☆.𓋼𓍊 𓆏 𓍊𓋼𓍊.☆

Kunikuzushi was a lot of work.

For someone who was constantly being praised by both your mother and his aunty, he was quite difficult to tolerate. As a person who was always quiet and reserved, you hated how obnoxious he acted at times. It’s not like he was loud or boisterous, but he was quite disrespectful, and just an overall jerk.

On your first meeting, you ended up responding to his disgusted gaze and rude remarks with some... not so nice words. You two ended up arguing, and your mother gave you an earful when you got back home. She forced you to go back to Aunty Buer’s house the next day and apologize with some sweets, which was an infuriating experience. 

☆.𓋼𓍊 𓆏 𓍊𓋼𓍊.☆

“I hate sweets.” Kunikuzushi said, crossing his arms and looking at you with an indifferent expression. It took everything in you not to glare at him as your grip tightened around the tray you were holding. You put your whole damn soul into this stupid dessert, all while your mother scolded you for arguing with him, even though it was completely his fault, and he doesn’t even like sweets? You almost feel like throwing the whole tray at his stupid face. But you don’t, because that would defeat the whole purpose of coming here today. 

“You can give them to Aunty Buer, then.” You mumble, trying not to sound irritated as you look around before setting the tray down on the table beside you. What now?? You’ve gotten the apology bit out of the way - but he hasn’t said whether he forgives you or not. All he’s done is reject the sweets that took you a painful amount of time to make. You stand there awkwardly, wondering if you should say something about it. 

“...well? What are you still doing here?” He asks. You flinch a little at the judgemental look on his face. How the hell are you supposed to word this? Internally cringing, you decide to just say it.

“Uhh... you didn’t answer my apology. Do you forgive me?” You fidget with your sleeve. You wish you could just turn around and leave, but you know that you’ll be scolded if you go back home without a clear response to your apology.

“Oh. Yeah, whatever. It’s fine.” He looked at the clock on the wall, like he had other things to be doing. You followed his gaze. “Is that it? You can leave now.” He covered a yawn behind his hand, waving you away with the other.

Gladly, You think, as you nod and glance at your shoes.

“Okay. Bye, Kunikuzushi.” You give him an awkward wave and turn around to leave. Was... was that really it? You were expecting him to insult you again, or tell you that he doesn’t forgive you. But oh well. You walk out of the living room and through the kitchen. Buer is sitting at the table with her sewing machine.

Oh, you think. So that’s why the chairs are so tall. You feel a little stupid for not realizing earlier, but you ignore it and walk to the table to say goodbye. 

“I’m going now, Aunty Buer. Thank you for having me.” You hug her, and you feel her little arms wrapping around you in return.

“No problem, [name]! Did you and Kuni make up?” She asked hopefully, taking your hand and smiling kindly at you. Her smile is so cute, you just want to eat her.

“Um, I guess so.” You respond, trying not to stare at her too much.

“Ah, I’m glad.” Her smile grows even bigger. “I know Kuni can be really mean sometimes, but he’s a good kid at heart. He’s just not very good at socializing. So please don’t be too mad at him, okay?” She gives your hand a gentle squeeze.

You almost scoff, but Aunty Buer is just too sweet. It’ll be hard, but for her sake, you’ll try not to be offended by his behavior.

“Okay, Aunty.” You smile and nod at her.

“Thank you, [name]. I’ll talk to him for you, okay?” She pats your cheek and pinches it gently.

You hesitate. You don’t want it to seem like you asked her to talk to him for you, but either way, it’s not like you can convince her not to. You’ve learned not to try and dissuade an aunty once she’s made up her mind.

“Okay. Thank you.” You give her one last hug. “Bye, Aunty. I’ll see you soon.”

“Wait, let me open the door for you.”

And with that, your little visit was over. As much as you wanted to forgive him, for Buer’s sake, you were still a little pissed off by the way that he acts. Sure, he might hate socializing, but he could definitely be a little nicer about it! But then again, maybe you’re just being petty. You look up at the sky as you walk down the street. You hold an arm over your head to protect your eyes from being burned off by the sun. Should you just get over it and be nice to him anyways? You’re still a little shocked that he forgave you so easily. Maybe you were overreacting.

You think about what Buer said to you.

“I know Kuni can be really mean sometimes, but he’s a good kid at heart. He’s just not very good at socializing. So please don’t be too mad at him, okay?”

'Kuni' was a cute nickname.

You push that thought aside as you reach your house at the end of the street. Time to relay your experience to your mother and hope that she’s satisfied with your apology.

“ Fuck it! ” scaramouche cursed under his breath as he threw his notebook towards the wall, he sighed heavily. why did he have to come into conclusion, that he has fallen for them? every day, every-time they talk to each other his feelings grew. at first he did not mind it, he thought he was being delusional.

but as he realizes it day by day, he knew he fucked up.

He knew, that he shouldn’t fall for Them, because They’ll just leave him.

He knew, that he’s not worth anything, for he got betrayed countless of times.

but he cannot help but hope.. for the chance to have Them be his by side, to heal him and love him.

But when he got that message from you, he was star strucked. he blushed madly as he reacts to the message, before typing in a reply.

“ I need some time to think. “

He closed the chat, feeling giddy. he felt ecstatic, but realization once hits him again. he sat upright on his couch, quite abruptly.

“ What if.. what if.. my bipolar attitude will make them hate me, once we started dating? “ scaramouche bits the inside of his cheek.

“ My moodiness will affect the relationship. “

he sighed before glancing at the ceiling fan.

“ Won’t it hurt them.. if i reject them for such puny excuses? we did talk about the possibility.. of being together… “ He scratches his head in frustration.

“ It’s pathetic to see myself be so self aware of my feelings and actions. i really am pathetic. “

He covers his eyes in shame with his arm, before taking a deep breath.

“ I… hate my feelings.. “

he said before going into slumber.

Two days has passed, he still doesn’t know what to do. he’s confused and frustrated. he simply wanted to have them.. but he cannot. he’s not worthy for their time and effort.

Nahida came knocking on his door with a tray of cookies that she had bought from a supermarket nearby.

“ Hey.. how’re you doing these past few days? Y/N seemed a little down for some time now.. did anything happen? “

she softly said, as she places down the tray on the bedside table. before plopping herself down on Scaramouche’s bed.

“ Leave me alone.. i need some time to think about something. “ scara groans as he covers his head with his pillow.

Nahida sadly chuckles as she stood up from Scara’s bed before heading back to her room.

“ i’m right here if you need anything, i’ll be happy to help you “

As she says those words scara hastily tells her to stop.

“ wait.. nahida.. what do you think i should do? “

Scara looks away as he sat up from his bed.

Nahida watches him in curiosity.

“ Is this about Y/N? “ she asks him, as she walks back towards scaramouche.

Getting no reply from him, she hummed to herself.

“ If you truly like them, why don’t you tell them? or if you’re not ready.. and just want to be just friends for now, tell them that. you can’t let them expect for your return.. you can’t let them wait for you, because it’ll only break them down as the day passes by. “

Nahida pats scara’s head as she smiles softly at him.

“ Don’t let them wait, or don’t let them hope too much. It hurts them. “

Nahida walks away, humming to herself. leaving scara in his room full of thoughts.

Scaramouche looked towards his charging device, before sighing. he took his phone from its charging port, to finally reply to your message.

PART FIVE: I.. LOVE YOU.. DUMMY

MENTIONS: @lxkeeeee , @4ngei4

[REQUESTS ARE OPEN <33]

Falling into a deep slumber after crying to yourself for hours, waking up at 12pm in a daze, as you slowly sat upright on your bed, phone in hand.

you’ve completely decided to talk to other people for awhile to distract yourself from thinking about him. you spent your time, socializing and having fun with people whom you’re not that close with, but it was quite refreshing.

8pm has struck you’re now currently in your room, texting your friends, talking about various topics.

you seemed to feel quite alright, but then.. you started remembering him. oh god, how it made you feel like you’ve wasted your time for nothing.

“ I need to talk to.. Lumine.. “ you said to yourself as you opened the chat with the mentioned girl and asked her to do a voice call with you.

“  Lu.. i feel so frustrated, i can’t get him out of my head.. “

Lumine sighed as she replies with ‘ Y/N.. do your work..’ in such a sassy voice.

“ It’s just.. i’m confused, he had shown his interest to me, we talked about the possibility of getting together and all.. but i feel like my connection with him is just crumbling down. “

Lumine rolled her eyes, ‘ Y/N.. you know it’s not healthy to obsess over something like that. heck, you and Mr. hat guy were in a Situationship. you shouldn’t fret much because you and him weren’t in a Labled relationship.’ Lumine chews loudly through her mic.

“ I know.. this situationship.. isn’t really something to fret over... but i just like-- no love him too much.. “ you sighed before crumbling down on the floor near your bed.

Lumine huffs as she ends the call, before telling Y/N to suck it up.

“ I.. have such a great best friend.. haaaa...” You huffed as you leaned on the side frame of your bed.

sighing loudly once again, feeling even more distressed, worry piling over your gut. and unnecessary thoughts swirling through your mind all out once, making you pale and want to vomit.

you want to barf out your feelings towards Scara, you want to stop worrying about him.. but you cannot, because you have fallen deeper inlove with him.

your thoughts were cut off when you’ve finally received a message from the said guy after 2 and a half days, later, scared. you waited and thought of what he had said in your chat conversation, getting curiouser and curiouser, you gave in and checked the message..

“ Hey, i have to say no. i just want us to stay friends for now. i have problems to deal with, and i don’t want you to get affected by my quote on quote moodiness. “

reading those words made your heart crumble, those words pierced your heart with a million sharp jabs. it made you feel like you forgot how to breathe, it made you.. feel helpless.

forcing a smile onto your face, you shakily typed in a response to his rejection.

“ Thank you for rejecting me.. i hope you’ll clear the problems that you have, away “

you breathed shakily, mustering up the courage to even stand up straight to lay on your bed. reaching out towards your plush.. hugging it tightly before letting out  loud huffs. you couldn’t control it anymore as tears streamed down on your face. muffled sobs can be heard outside your bedroom, as Lumine slowly backs away from your bedroom door, as she retracts her hand away from your door’s doorknob. she felt bad leaving you be.. but you need the space..

“ I’ll leave this.. one down here.. “

lumine says as she slowly lay down an item.. on the floor.

it was.. a small bell, with your Initial and scara’s initial embedded in..

a bell.. that scara was about to give to you.. to accept your feelings, but it ended up being lost. the bell.. that held Scara’s longing love.. that’s been casted away and stolen.

the bell. the symbolizes Scara’s feelings towards you, also one.. that symbolizes you to move on, once it rang. for your time with him has come to an end.

PART 2: HIS POINT OF VIEW

PART 3: HELPLESS

PART 4: THE AFTER-EFFECT

PART 5: I.. LOVE YOU… DUMMY

Scaramouche POV:

Running through the busy street of japan. i let out exaggerating huffs as i continue my way down to Y/N’s House. my vision blurs as i tripped on my own shoelace. grunting in annoyance, i stood up once more to continue running. ignoring the excruciating pain that i am feeling, down on my knees i moved forward. my heart aches as i feel hot tears running down my face. annoyed at my emotions spiraling out of control i angrily screamed.

“ GOD DAMN IT! “

Oh, Y/N you’ve molded me into a person i’ve never believed i can become.

You’ve made me feel like human again..

And it frustrates me to the point i’ve become obsessed with you.

Upon reaching their Home, i squatted down on their front porch, being out of breath and feeling tired i suddenly collapsed fully on the floor.

I grabbed my phone that only has 38% battery life.. i shakily called their number.

One ring…

Two rings…

Three rings..

…

Then, you’ve finally picked up.

‘ Hello? ‘

Just hearing you say one word made me crumble down on my knees, feeling the butterflies, that i’ve felt before.

“ Hey… Y/N… “

I sat down on the steps, while calming my heart down..

‘ Scara? why’re you calling me..? ‘

I sighed as an irk mark appeared on my forehead before stopping myself to say something sarcastic.

“ I’m.. here. “

I breathlessly said as I stood up straight. before i walking out in the open, near the street.

‘ wha- what do you mean? ‘ You sat up on your bed careful not to wake lumine up.

“ I’m.. right outside your house.. you dummy.”

…

..

.

Your POV:

Wait.. what? is he messing with me? I scanned my bedroom before carefully checking to see if lumine is awake, once i found out she isn’t, i slowly get off my bed before taking a cardigan from the floor.

as i take my phone that i laid on the bed, i found a bell. a bell that has my initial and.. maybe scara’s. taking the small bell from the bedside table, i hurriedly went out of my room.

…

..

.

Lumine’s POV:

ah.. so she has found it.. i sighed as i snuggled close Y/N’s comforters. eyebrows furrowing.. i calmed myself down..

In the end.. i will never get chosen.. this is fine.. as long as those two are okay..

I turned over to look up on the ceiling, with a heavy heart.. my eyes started swelling up in tears. i choke back a sob as i cried to myself.

When will it ever be me..?

I gasped loudly as i felt my phone vibrate in my pockets, digging through my pockets to fish my phone out, i answered the call without looking at the name of the caller.

3rd POV:

Childe slid down on the park bench, he can only hope that his dear friend can.. take care of the misunderstanding that he and Dottore caused. Childe stares at his calloused rough hands he bit his cheek.

He feels stupid.. for doing something like that, he wholeheartedly regrets what he did.

He whipped out his phone to call scaramouche only to hesitate for a minute.

Should i call him? Childe thought as he bit his lip, he rubbed his hands together to create a source of heat for awhile.

Childe threw his hands up in the air, frustrated. eyes glowing dimmer as he looked up on the dark sky. it’s already dark.. childe thought as he shivered. he stood up and wrapped his red scarf around his neck to look more presentable.

Glancing at his phone contacts.. he found Lumine’s contact number.. a small smile and a slight pinkish hue on his cheeks appeared as he called the girl’s number.

One..

Two..

Three..

She have finally picked up the call!

“ Hey girlie.. can i drop by your place for awhile? “

Lumine scoffs as she rolled around Y/N’s bed. before answering.

‘ Sure I guess.. but make sure to bring some food. Paimon won’t let you in if you don’t have any food for her. ‘

Hearing that, Childe let out a sweet and genuine laugh.

Puzzling Lumine, Lumine listened to his laugh as heat rushes through her face.

It’s cute.. his laugh is cute… wait what? Lumine panics as she fumbled around, how could she have such thoughts to her arch-nemesis!

grumbling, Lumine once again scoffs as she ends the call.

Childe being puzzled as to why the called ended, he regains his composure before smiling widely. oh how he’ll buy Tons of 5-star food take-out just to impress Lumine’s younger sister.. to catch Lumine’s heart.

feeling all giddy he skipped towards a nearby restaurant to order tons of delicious delicacies.

—

One step.. two steps.. Overthinking.. His point of view.. feeling helpless.. and catching the after-effect.

As You stride towards the front door, with a look of worry plastered on your face.

Overthinking of what’s happening…

Thinking of his Point of View..

Feeling helpless as my thoughts consumes me..

Oh how i anticipate the after-effect.

Opening the door.. you took one step.. and two steps forward. Inhaling and exhaling. fidgeting with your hands, eyes darting everywhere. seemingly clouded by your thoughts.. scaramouche took three steps forward.. Arms opening up to take you in an embrace.

Your eyes widens as you stare at him. he wasn’t supposed to be here.. he wasn’t supposed.. to be here infront of me..

You thought to yourself, as you took a fews steps backwards. sensing your awkwardness, scaramouche lowers his hand down onto his sides before bowing respectfully.

“ Y/N.. that.. reply you’ve got.. it’s a misunderstanding.. “

You stood there completely silent, as you forgot how to speak, as if you’ve become a new born child.

“ It’s not what you think it is, believe me.. i don’t know how to fully explain it to you… “

Scaramouche kept himself on a 90 degree bow, waiting for you to say anything.

still feeling shocked you’ve managed to let out a few words..

‘ I love you.. ‘ You said before covering your mouth up with your hand. eyes widening and cheeks reddening.

Uttering out those three words, scaramouche stood up straight before embracing you in a tight hug.

‘ I’ve never thought of you as a nuisance.. ‘

‘ I’ve never seen you nothing but someone who’m i greatly cherish.. someone who i see a future with.. ‘

‘ I’ve never wished to make you cry. ‘

‘ I’ve never wished to hurt your feelings. ‘

Those assurances gave you hope, it gave you a new light. it’s a hope in the dark.

Scaramouche held the back of your head, loving and gently, as he stroked your back.

it’s amazing.. to see him act and be so humane. it amazed you to see him be like this..

You didn’t know that you were crying, you didn’t feel your tears streaming down your face. you didn’t feel how your chest tightened by hearing those words that scaramouche stated. you didn’t feel how your arms gripped wrap around scara’s frame.. you were too mesmerized at the sight of him being so humane, being so gentle..

…

..

.

“ I.. never wanted to stay as friends.. i’ve always dreamt of being by your side.. “

“ I’ve never thought of your flaws as some weakness, rather i thought that they gave you strength.. “

“ Scara.. no.. Kuni.. I’ve always told you that i’ll wait for you till i’m yours.. but earlier today.. it made me want to abandon that promise to protect my feelings.. “

“ I just.. love you so much to the point i cannot express it more with just my actions.. “

Scaramouche parts away from your embrace as he stares deep on your eyes, flustering you up, making you blush madly.

Seeing his gentle and serene face, made your heart swoon. it made you want to confess everything right then and there. it made you love him more.

Scaramouche opened his mouth.. and said..

I.. Love you.. dummy..

Before smiling warmly at you.

“ Ever since you’ve sent me that one meme.. that you’re supposed to send to your friend. i’ve fallen for you right then and there. “ scara ruffles your hair as the wind blows through the clouds. the night sky making it a perfect scenery, and his handsome smile that can make thousands, swoon.

Turns out.. all of these is nothing but a misunderstanding.

misunderstanding the concept for all of the problems.. and overthinking.

the bane of evil, the uprising of despair.

but a single misunderstanding made something blossom into something more interesting.. more beautiful.. that i couldn’t help but shed a few tears while writing.

Scaramouche held out a long sigh as he plops himself back down on his bed. his phone was dead therefore he couldn’t reply to Y/N’s confession. he grumbled loudly as he frustratingly pulled on his hair in annoyance. that stupid charger he bought from Dori who egged him on to buy it because it’s very “Fast” charging. didn’t work. once again, he grabbed his pillow and screamed onto it.

Nahida sweat-drops as she passed by scara’s room hearing the loud grumbling and frustrated muffled screeches.

.

.

.

Dottore chuckles to himself as he sat on Childe’s office chair with a long smirk on his face.

‘My.. i should really stop.. screwing with him huh.’

He said as he placed down scaramouche’s phone that he had lost “accidentally” while he was at Physical Education class, 2 months ago.

Childe chuckles, ‘Well.. i think it would be best to just stop this thing.. before lumine finds out and beats me up.. haha—‘

Dottore choked back an amused snort. before standing up to open scara’s phone once more to delete the messages before you can read it.

Dottore’s heart leaped, as he reads the response from you. he sweated heavily before throwing the phone towards Childe.

‘seems like we’ve messed up.. better face lumine tomorrow then.’

Childe reads your response twice before wincing. ‘uh.. we’ve broken the chance of our dear comrade getting a significant other.. ‘ Childe awkwardly chuckles as he just chucked the phone inside dottore’s messenger bag.

Dottore heaved out a sigh as he sat back down. ‘well.. it’s his problem now—‘

Childe shook his head. in disappointment before chucking once more awkwardly.

‘ how do we tell him-?’ childe asks Dottore ‘…i don’t know.’ Dottore replied to childe.

.

.

Lumine sighs as she went back to your door with a heavy heart. she glanced down on the floor to see the bell still there. she cannot just leave you be.. because she had felt the same thing. she had experienced the same thing.

Lumine knocked before entering the room..

‘Hey.. what’s up?’ she asked as she laid down next to you.

‘well.. i got rejected..’ you said as you sniffed and smiled at lumine. ‘I’m.. happy.. at least the heavy weight in my heart has been lifted.. i don’t ha-have to worry..’ you told her before breaking down once more.

‘But.. i cannot help but cry.. he’s.. the only guy who’ve made me feel this way before..’ you sobbed as you hugged lumine, wetting her white hoodie with your tears while crying your hearts out.

‘Lulu.. i don’t know what to do.. i can’t just forget him and move on.. i love him so much..’

Lumine smiled bitterly. ‘sometimes you just gotta let go of the things you loved the most. sometimes you just gotta let the wave flow and let go of him..’

‘I know it would be very hard. but please rely on me while you’re in this state..’

Lumine finished off before going through her thoughts. (( I would treat you better than him. so please let me and open your eyes for me. ))

Lumine hugged you tightly as she ran her hand through your hair. humming a song that her brother used to hum.

Scaramouche wanders off towards his wardrobe to look for his wallet that he threw. still frustrated he needs to buy a new charger to finally reply to your confession and.. hopefully be with you.. and have you accept him for his flaws or imperfections.

grumpily grabbing his wallet that’s near his shoe rack, he took his jacket that’s nestling in his closet.

‘Nahida, i’m going out to buy some new charger. don’t wait for me for lunch since i’ll be dropping off at y/n’s.’

Scaramouche told nahida who was ordering food for lunch. as he walks towards the door, nahida went and stopped him for awhile.

‘I hope that.. you’ve sorted out your feelings for her.. because i’m very proud of you.’ nahida smiles as she hugged scaramouche before going off back to the kitchen.

scaramouche stood there stunned before shrugging off the warmth with determination.

‘Y/N.. please wait for me.. ‘

He mumbled to himself as he tied his shoes tightly before opening the door and rushing towards the Nearby 7/11 that’s just 4 minutes away from his house.

Grabbing a charger without looking at the price, he immediately went to the cashier to pay for it.

‘can i use your charging port?’ he huffed as he slammed the money on the counter, terrifying the cashier. the cashier nodded their head shakily before apologizing for looking at scara right at the eyes.

pathetic. scara thought as he calmly walked towards the charging station to plug in his phone. waiting impatiently scara grumbled before going off to an aisle to buy milk bread and some banana milk.

.

.

.

Childe was seen running down the streets with scara’s old phone in his hand, Huffing and wheezing loudly, he turned a corner to check if scara is still at 7/11, which he is. scara was seen paying for the bread and milk he got before heading off towards the charging station once again.

Child entered the CVS, with an awkward smile plastered on his face.

‘what’s up with you? idiot.’ Scaramouche egged on childe who approached him, while rummaging through his pockets to look for something. scaramouche’s eye brow went up as he was curious on whatever childe is going to do.

‘Here.. your phone.. i found it-?’ childe awkwardly chuckles before scratching the back of his head nervously.

scaramouche glared at the tall ginger seemingly knowing that he and dottore took it.

‘ “found” it? you must be shittin’ me. i knew it was with you and Zandick. that dickhead took it and wanted to put the blame on you, didn’t he? ‘

scaramouche snarls at the ginger man who was still nervously scratching the back of his head, before snatching the “Old phone” that he had “lost”.

Childe gulps his saliva in fear. before opening his mouth to say something.

‘Sca— comrade— we did something bad-‘

scara rolled his eyes as he snorts.

‘ Don’t you guys always do something “bad”? ‘

‘well— yeah— but you’re also apart of it, you know-‘

‘ You didn’t hear me say, “i am not apart of it” did you? ‘ scara groans as he kicked Childe’s shin hard.

Childe who’s now on the floor, gripping his shin groaning and moaning in pain. finally told scaramouche what they did.

‘ Scara.. you see— me and Dottore actually wanted to mess with you for awhile.. so we decided to answer the confession.. you got from Y/N.. and.. we’ve gone too far.. we were originally going to delete it fast but they read the message quite quickly! we thought they were asleep at the time.. ‘

scaramouche stopped on his tracks.. gripping his old phone tightly as the screen began to crack. viens prominent on his hand as he squeezed his old phone. Scara’s eyes darken as he felt his heart drop. they did what now? he thought as he grabbed Childe’s collar in frustration.

‘What? you thought that playing with someone’s feelings is funny? you piece of shit. no wonder lumine doesn’t fucking like you back. ‘

Scara heatedly said as his eyes becomes wider and bros furrowing deeper.

Childe gags as he taps on scara’s tight hand that’s holding the collar of his shirt.

‘ he-hey calm down—‘

scara’s smiled at Childe.

‘ Calm down? you made me feel like i want to kill you right here. you’ve hurt their feelings, by doing that little prank of yours. the “little” thing is the same size of your dick and brain. and it’s pathetic. ‘

Scaramouche snarl’s before letting Childe go.

‘i’m warning you. Tartaglia. if i see your face again. i’ll make sure to make your little high-school life hell. ‘

Scaramouche growls loudly as he glares down at Childe who’s wheezing for air. he spat at childe’s shoe before turning away to control his temper.

Scara looks towards the cashier, eyes empty and in void as he plugs out his charging phone to go on his way.

How do i..? fix this mess. those two idiots really went too far.

Oh.. Y/N.. will you still accept me right at your door.. if i show up?
