Dangerous loyalty『Tartaglia x MR』

XIII

Cᴏᴍᴘᴇᴛɪᴛɪᴏɴ

Scaramouche was confused and flustered when M/n didn't pull his fingers away, he so desperately wanted to swallow the pearl. Yet M/n holds onto for a moment longer.
He's so cute, it wouldn't be wrong to play with him, right? Tartaglia and I aren't exclusive so I can do what I want but now isn't the time.
M/n soon let's go after mulling it over and allowing Scaramouche to officially swallow the pearl. M/n then brings the male over to the couch to take a seat.
"....Am I-"

"If I invite you over, of course. La Signora was a different case, she made her disdain for me clear as day. A dog shouldn't bite its owner's child..."

"If you wish it. Thank you for allowing me to sit with you."Scaramouche drops down onto the couch by not directly next to M/n; leaving space in the middle.
"Now that you're a part of my little team, we're heading to Inazuma tomorrow around the same time. We'll be establishing a new partner in trading material."

"Inazuma...Ah, is known for their vast mines of Electro ore and Amethyst stone, I say it's a very smart move, your majesty."

"Oh, I can't wait to try a kimono!"

"Y-Your majesty would look very handsome in one."This response was odd to M/n, he smirks at the blue hair male.
"Awe, you're smitten with me already! How cute, I tamed you by giving you what you wanted and a bit more~"Scaramouche glares at the prince for a moment before turning away; finding the giant bookshelves to be more interesting than the prince next to him. So M/n slyly moves over until he was at the hip with Scaramouche, he jumps when turns to ask the prince a question only to see him directly next to him.
"Ack!"

"I find that you like my attention, that's cute! But you have competition."

"Childe?! That brut-"Lightning crackles at the corners of Scaramouche's eyes but he sighs heavily to calm himself, he didn't understand why he suddenly became like this but M/n knew.
It would seem I have a likeness just as the female lead... Knocking her out of power is easier than I thought but how long will I hold this power?
"Scaramouche, you're blushing."

"It's because you're leaning too close... Could you please move back, your highness?"

"And if I say no? Then what?"M/n leans closer, close enough for his lips to graze Scaramouche's neck. Oddly enough Scaramouche held the scent of a
Dendrobium. M/n leans forward, nose now brushing against the Harbinger's neck. Scaramouche shutters, motivating M/n to nibble on the neck of the other but stops when he hears the door handle move.
Who could that be?
Without a moment's notice, he yanks Scaramouche onto him and lays down on the couch.
"Your highness-"

"Shh!"M/n shoves his hand over the other's lips and sat still as he could.
"I could have sworn I heard his Majesty's voice..."

"We shouldn't be on this side of the palace, this belongs to his majesty! We could get in trouble."The voices that M/n heard were slightly familiar, he has only heard them on the training grounds.
"This is his majesty's private library. I heard it has every book from the eight nations-"

"Los, Khaenri'ah isn't a nation anymore, it's just neutral territory, we should go...What if sir Tartaglia finds us and kills us?!"

"Haven't you seen? Tartaglia only kills if his majesty says so. I wonder what the hand thing means-"

"Ugh, let's go already!"The door closes after that and M/n sighs, he didn't think people would be that brave to even walk around his side of the palace.
"Should I get rid of them?"

"If I ask. I haven't trained you just yet!"M/n sits up and noticed that Scaramouche was now sitting in his lap. And to M/n, he realized that Scaramouche was smaller than him.
"Lapdog..."

"Huh?!"

"You're small like a lap dog! This means you'll require less training, you already know who's in charge, quite the thought. Anyway, get ready for tomorrow's trip to Inazuma-"

"Your majesty-....."

"Oh, just the person I was going to find, Tartaglia this is my second Harbinger; Scaramouche."Tartaglia froze, he couldn't believe that Scaramouche was so close to his master and he lets out an involuntary growl.
"None of that Tartaglia. You're still my number one, no need to be hostile or jealous~"

"Your majesty, m-may I move from your l-lap?"

"You may and you're dismissed, Taglia come here."Scaramouche nearly runs out of the library as Tartaglia passes him by. The ginger wasn't happy to know that another was in the lap of his master, when he sat down, he sat on the further end.
"Oh don't be that way Taglia!"

"What are you talking about, your majesty?"

"You're usually at my hip, now you're sitting far away. Are you angry at me?"M/n said in mock hurt using a sweet voice to get the others' attention, it was a voice that he knew Tartaglia adores very much. Without turning his whole head, he peaks at the prince from the corner of his eye.
"Taglia?"

"...."

"My sweet Ajax~"M/n utters out Tartaglia's real name while cuffing his cheek and turn his head to look at him. The ginger couldn't help but melt at the sound of his real name being said to him sweetly, though he had a strange love-hate relationship with his real name, he couldn't help but love when his master said it.
