Hey, idiot. It's gonna be alright ————☻︎☹︎☻︎————
You were in a domain fighting enemies. Scaramouche was out doing whatever, probably plotting on how to get the next gnosis. You were on a mission to get some sort of gadget from a domain, but of course every road has bumps.
You ran into hilichurls, abyss mages, slimes. Everything in the book. You were strong, sure. But just because you can kick ass doesn't mean it's still annoying. You could be relaxing right now, but no. You were working. But as long as her majesty the tsartisa is pleased, everything will run smoothly.
-
In the middle of one of your battles, everything was fine. Until a hilichurl will a club came out of no where. It felt like time stopped. That's when...
The flashbacks started.
-
You were covering your ears in your room as your father and mother fought over financial shit. One way or another you always got dragged into the conversation.
Your father threw a vase at your mother as she screamed in agony. You heard your father yelling at her to shut up. He went on saying how pathetic you and your mother were. Your mother was the only one you felt safe around. She stuck up for you in every fight.
Your father got tired of your mothers shit and took a knife from the kitchen and stabbed your mothers shoulder, you could hear the screams echo through out the walls and heard her fall to the floor in pain. You heard your father screaming at her. He stabbed her thighs and ankles, limiting her movements from the waist and below.
He went after you next. Your mother begged him to leave you alone but her cries fell apon deaf ears as you could hear your fathers shoes clunk up the stairs at a fast speed.
Your father kicked your door down. The sight horrified you. It was like a scene from a movie. Your father was covered in your mothers blood, a extremely pissed face painted on his head. He came bolting towards you like that hilichurl did.
He hit you with the handle of the knife, then turned it around to the blade then-
-
You snapped out of your flashback to feel the hilichurl hit you on the mark your father left so many years ago.
Fear and anger rushed through you and in self defense, you punched the hilichurl then stomped it to death. A slow and painful death for that hilichurl had come as its life was slowly drifting away until it's heart stopped.
Your breathing was rapid as you reached the end of the domain. You don't know what time it was nor do you care. Your only focused on the flashback you just had. It was always a horrible memory, but it felt like you relived it.
You started crying, breathing rapidly, a puffing like a dog.
"What took you so long? We've been waiting for 2 hour-" You heard a familiar voice shout.
Scaramouche
You thought. You snapped your head at him, the look of terror on your face. He looked into your eyes confused, angry.
"What the hell happened to you?" He said, thinking you were just being over dramatic. Until he noticed your breathing, he heard you huffing, and you weren't responding. He also noticed the shaking. "You okay?" He asked walking closer. You shook your head 'no' as he looked at you a little bit concerned.
He knelt down and placed a hand on your back. You two were dating but he was never the lovey dovey type. Even being just the two of you. If anything you both acted like an old couple. But he understood that the cold shoulder won't work on this sort of situation.
You told him about what happened when you were younger before. You told him it triggered you, but you said it wouldn't interfere with work. But now it is.
He put a hand on your back, getting into a comfortable sitting position as he rubbed little circles on your back. "Hey, look at me." He said, trying to speak as calm as he could. You look at him, your eye lids were puffy and your breathing was still out of hand. "Let's get your breathing on track again alright? Imma snap my fingers to make a beat, and you have to breath with me, alright?" He said. You nodded as he started snapping.
In
Out.
In
Out.
In
Out.
You repeated the breathing technique for 4 minutes until you were calmed down. The shaking went down slightly. You were still trembling a little but it was better than before.
"Good job. You did good dummy." He said. You laughed a bit as little tears were still rolling down your face. "Hey, idiot, your okay now." He said side hugging you. You cherished this moment. You don't know when another moment like this will come again.
-
Scaramouche got up as he held out a hand for you. You grabbed his hand and got off the ground as you walked further into the domain and got the gadget.
Childe and dotore were waiting outside. "What took you and shorty so long?" Childe asked. "She was still kicking ass but there were more enemies than expected tartaglia" Scaramouche spat out. He looked at you "Be quicker next time or your out of the group" Scaramouche said sternly. He smiled at you, giving the sign that he wasn't that pissed at you, but then immediately looked annoyed when he turned is head back to the two tall men in front of you.
You both reported the gadget to her majesty then went to get food.
