Secretive (Scaramouche x reader)

The Tsaritsa's will

The day after your little sparring session with your boss, word came that you would attend the meeting of the Harbinger's that had arrived and Snezhnaya. Now, you suspected her majesty was implicating you needed to understand how being a harbinger works before she made you one against your will.

"I can't go..?" Teucer caught you early in the morning just before you were going to head out the door, The small ginger boy had his ruin guard toy in his hand almost as if he had slept with it. "Teucer, Ajax isn't going to be there remember? And it isn't a good place for you to be alright? When i come back I'll make the borsch that your brother wanted me to make"

Teucer looked at the floor and pouted, "Pinky promise?" he raised his hand up with his pinky up and a pout on his face. "You make a pinky promise.." he began as you locked your pinky with him own, "You keep it all your life, you break a pinky promise.."

"I throw you on the ice; the cold will kill the pinky that once betrayed your friend." Teucer smiled a little seeing you remember the rhyme. "The frost will freeze your tongue off, so you never lie again!" he cheered, but now that the rhyme was completed you had to leave the young ginger. "Please go back to bed, it's still quite early alright?" he nodded waving to you with a small smile on his face.

You closed the door and sighed "Poor boy.." you stepped into the frosty snow and chose to leave your heavy coat unbuttoned so you didn't get to hot. as you left the estate and passed through the gate you were met with a familiar face, his mask covered over half of his face but his red eyes were still quite visible.

"Dottore? Why are you here?" the harbinger smiled, "I was in Snezhnaya conducting a few experiments, since i am not attending the meeting i am taking you there by request of a few of the others including her majesty" you showed no sass nor any sign of joy. "I don't need you to take me anywhere, go back to experimenting on children"

You gladly gave the 9th harbinger the cold shoulder as you walked passed him, "Correct me if i'm wrong but this is where the eleventh harbinger's family lives right?" Dottore began, his voice was chilling. "You lay a finger on them and i will run everything you've been doing into the ground, and then Childe will personally see that you are killed in the most horrific way possible"

The 'professor' grinned, "Right right, you have leverage against me..i forget" the harbinger looked away from the manor and faced you, your back facing him. "I'm sure you couldn't care less about if i get there safely or not so just get back to your experiments and i won't have to talk to you"

It was a mental workout trying to deal with Dottore, he was snarky and selfish and not to mention a bit righteous. "You know, if you didn't let me perform experiments on you when you worked under me you wouldn't hate me so much" you brought your hand to the bridge of your nose, "You're right! But i think I'd hate you anyway because you're such a bastard now if you'll excuse me I'm going where i'm meant to go, bye"

The harbinger watched you go with a narrow gaze, "You have the abyss in your veins, i couldn't pass up such an opportunity to.." he sighed, breath vanishing into the frigid air. He shook his head and waited a moment before he went down the same snowy path you went down, literally walking in your smaller footsteps.
