new a/n: hi everyone, im considering reuploading a few of my old fics, so if this looks familiar its because its already been on the platform, but I took it off for a while.
Arlecchino is a woman who keeps her cards deathly close to her heart, and her children even closer. But if you somehow manage to fit yourself as a person that she is seen as trustworthy she is willing to find a spot for you in her heart.
It'll first start out as you both being friends, and while Arlecchino for a while will keep you at arms length, it won't take long for her to find you treading into deeper waters within her heart. And before long she couldn't help but find herself feeling quite fond of your company.
You sat across from as you watched her behind the pastry you held sipping a hot cup of tea, and as she feels your gaze on her she meets your gaze with hers, her expression never once changing. But behind the cup she found her mouth curving into a subtle smile.
Arlecchino would never allow you to look at the documents that she worked on, but she didn't mind when you came over to visit in between the time that she spent working at her desk over various affairs. As much as she may be enamored with you, wether she fully realizes or not, she is not as ready to let you aide her with her work. It is not that she believes you are unaware of her position, or even that of the House of the Hearth, but not everyone, not even you, must see every paper that is placed in front of her.
And even when you both get closer and start dating there are still parts of her work as a Harbinger she will never be willing to show to you, and even less so let you get involved with. If you weren't well versed in combat before, she would at least offer you the basics of self-defense. For the few cases that you may somehow not be by her side, where she can protect you. Being a Harbinger can be dangerous at times, and she can not eliminate the possibility that there are people out there willing to get at you so that they may have a chance at weakening her in some way.
And, whether or not Arlecchino is willing to admit it, she can't help but find herself bending to your demands. There will always be things that she will never allow to happen, but those at the Hearth can't help but see the subtle way she softens when in your presence. And as you both grow closer in your relationship, Arlecchino will not mind nearly as much when it comes to opening herself further.
