Lighten by you [Scaramouche x Reader]

Chapter 1

This man seriously makes everyone respect him even though you would say he looks like a child.
You wondered how this man could be a little stronger harbinger than you are

Number 7 y/n
Your vision is anemo though you didn't really like it; actually you rarely used your elemental skills
As you were standing next to the man; you checked him out,

His clothes were extraordinary however the color palette really added the look of electro vision user breath; Inazuma, that's where he is from you always wondered what it was like; going anywhere you wanted

"Alright Harbingers; farewell on choosing your partner"

Partner? Seriously? There must be some kind of danger in Teyvat if they only sent two harbingers at once. Archons? The Traveller? Who knows; the only thing you knew was that you were paired up with someone you rarely met

"What are you looking at brat?" The man with a particular hat said

"Nothing. Just checking out my partner I guess"

"Oh? You are quite a bold one; who are you?"

Great a chitchat you didn't asked for however went with it

"I suppose; y/n Number 7 of Fatui harbingers"

"Oh! The new one?"

New? You were on this position for a month or so, it's not really new

"Ehh yea you could say; about a month"

You didn't even realized that you were quite enjoying his company and the useless chitchat

"Ye new one" the man replied, annoyed you wondered what was his name again; Number 6; right above you meaning there wasn't much of a difference between you and him as in status nor strength

Scaramouche or also known as Balladeer

Strange you felt slight electric shock trough you as if he knew what were you thinking about

"Right, do you know the reasons behind these pairings of harbingers?"
You curiously asked him as if he was the one that knew anything

"The Traveller I suppose; but it's just my guess"
Weird Scaramouche was way more irritating with others yet he's right here next to you talking to you as if you were his friend

But then again harbingers are fooling around or just playing with each other in general so it's no surprise he's talking to you so casually however it is strange

Later that day; the sun was about to reach its horizon— meaning your mission in Liyue is coming to an end

The mission was quite easy; keeping an eye on Mr.Zhongli or so called Morax; you never really respected nor understood archons.
They were like creatures without a human heart; pretending to be human and understand human beings

You hated that fact; and even more you hated them when you found out what they did to Khaenri'ah.

Your next mission was to find out more about that country; you read books about it and some people were talking bad things about it, it made your blood boil

Sadly you couldn't really say nor do anything since Scaramouche signaled you to keep your thoughts to yourself

Now on the mountain you and Scaramouche were looking trough the books; more or less you two didn't found out much
It pissed you off but Scaramouche spoke up

"Hey I got an idea; if we can't find out anything in these books, we can go ahead and ask the culprits"

"You mean asking the archons themselves?"

"Exactly; though it may be harder than it sounds"
You kept silent letting the man finish; you started to respect him; not a single time he has pranked you

"Well you still up for it number 7?"

Oh that's the prank you were waiting for however it sent shiver down your spine it was as if he was challenging you to prove your worth, he's ego was pissing you off

"You know what, yes I am l'll be doing all the talking as well" you didn't exactly know how to ask archons how they killed off an entire region; I mean they could just end you on the spot

"Great" the frisbee hat replied

I'll prove my worth to you Balladeer; just you wait
