Autumn

Pretty

It was a nice summer evening but Scaramouche was bored. Very bored to the point he wanted to go outside which he never even thought of. He hated people and going outside was not something he would do even if he was bored.

His dear Kazuha was a special being since it was the only person he tolerated in his life and liked to be around. They were lovers although Scaramouche would call him his best friend sometimes too. They fit each other's dynamic perfectly so there was never a real fight between them.

His phone suddenly rang and he checked; it was Signora. She wanted him to go shopping with her since Childe was busy doing who knows what. Signora was the type of person that didn't take 'no' as an answer so even if Scaramouche declined, she would still force him and drag him out of his apartment complex to go to the mall. He sighed and replied with a simple 'yeah whatever' and threw his phone away so he could find a decent outfit to wear. Kazuha wasn't home since he had work and Scaramouche had a day off.

After searching the closet for a while, he decided on a simple t-shirt and some black jeans. His boyfriend's jacket caught his eye so he decided to wear it. The weather seemed alright so overheating wouldn't be too much of a problem which is why he decided to wear the jacket. Signora, a beautiful tall lady was waiting for her short coworker at the lobby of his apartment dressed all fancy even if they weren't going anywhere chic. She just liked dressing extra.

"What took you so long?"

"Nothing, let's go."

"You're so cold. Not even a hi to your best friend. It hurts my feelings."

"Tch. Best friends my ass. Now go or I'm going back to my apartment."

"Ok ok, calm down shortie. I observed that you stole one of Kazuha's jackets... Am I right?"

He didn't say anything and walked to Signora's car, opening the door leading to the passenger seat. If he was honest with Signora, it felt kind of embarrassing telling her she was right and he also hated when someone had a point especially when it concerns him and his love life. It's a private thing and he doesn't really want people to know. Signora and Childe were exceptions because one of them found out and the other heard about it from a drunken Scaramouche.

The tall lady sighed but let a small smile appear on her lips before walking to her car and opening the door to the driver's side.

They arrived at the mall after a good 10 minutes ride but no complaints since Scaramouche was in charge of the aux cord meaning he jammed to songs he liked. As they got out of the car, people would occasionally look their way which stressed the shorter one a bit since he was naturally smaller than his good friend thus making him self conscious.

As Signora noticed it, she linked their arms together and dragged him to a coffee shop further from crowds so they could get coffee and be in peace without people staring their way. He was thankful for the gesture but skinship was still a little out of character for the both of them so they shortly let go as people stopped looking.

They ordered their drinks and left the shop. Signora was excited because she had outfit ideas in mind which she wanted Scaramouche to rate since he had good fashion sense. He wore basic clothing but his eye for things was very keen which made Signora respect him for this little 'talent' he had.

"Where did you want to go again?"

"Oh ho, just follow me and you'll see, my dear friend."

"Stop with the friend thing, it's weird."

"You're a party pooper. Alright then, let's go now."

She basically dragged him to one of the most luxurious shops in the whole mall and intertwined her fingers together with a smile. The excitement within her was about to burst and the sparkles in her eyes could describe all the feelings she felt at that moment.
