"Ah fuck, you caught me?" Diluc mumbled.

"Red-handed, red-head." Scaramouche chuckled. He let go of the knife and Diluc let go of the midnight boy's hand. You stood there, astonished.

"Well, my darling.. guess I would have to explain everything from the start..heh." Diluc sighed. You had actually no clue what the hell was going on. What did Diluc want to say.

"Fuck! No, don't tell them yet you bastard!" The short boy screeched. He sounded desperate, from your point of view. What did he want to tell you?

"Well, Y/N what happened was.."

Scaramouche whispered something in Diluc's ear.

"Actually.. I believe it's best not to tell them right now. I finally agree with that idiot." Diluc spoke. You sighed. You yourself were not sure if it was out of relief or something else. Scaramouche smirked.

"You guys..know each other?" You finally asked.

"Well, not really. I have my ways I know that redhead." Scaramouche said. Diluc rolled his eyes. Whatever situation this is, it's confusing as fuck.

"Hey, this feels really weird. It feels like something which is not supposed to happen is happening right now.." You said, while shuddering. Diluc gave you a confused look and shrugged while Scaramouche snorted.

"Pfft..shut up weirdo. What do you even mean?" Kunikuzushi answered. If only you knew what was going on.

You sighed then said,

"I think I'm gonna leave man.." You started walking away soon as you heard a faint 'bye' from Diluc. This was worse than highschool. Everything was so confusing. You just wanted to go home. You called a cab and it took you to your dorm.

"Yo Y/N- Hey- what's wrong?" Mona asked. You completely forgot she was in your dorm before. You shook your head and jumped onto your bed. This was actually so mentally tiring.

Diluc's POV:

The h/c person ran away from us. Me and that..male creature. I sighed. 

"Well, look what you did this time." I spoke. Scaramouche frowned at me and grunted.

"Shut the fuck up. That was your fault. If you kept quiet and didn't say a word and kept quiet like the good little brat you are, you would be safe. As a Harbinger, I would have to take care of you, Dawn Winery Owner."

"So you're the 6th one." I chuckled. This would be interesting.

Back To Author Narration <3

You got up from bed. Mona was asleep. Oh wow, she normally binge watches anime so it was quite surprising to see her asleep, you thought. The phone flashed, and you checked what was up.

The time was 2:49 AM.

A message from..Fischl!!

book protag (fischl) :D

Hey Y/N.. sorry for the late message, but is Bennett is your class?

he isnt lol, sorry fishy

Ah okay! Thanks anyway! Go sleep now
Seen and liked by You

You switched off your phone. After that, you tried to go to sleep but you just couldn't

"Maybe I should go on a walk.." You quietly mumbled to yourself. As you got off the bed, you could feel your legs hurt. Well, that happens in the middle of the night. You shook your legs a bit and put on a coat. Quietly, you put your shoes on and closed the door. Wait, did you take your phone? Oh lord, you didn't.

The cold breeze hit you skin. The normally full roads were empty. So so empty. You thought Diluc would enjoy this atmosphere, but you decided not to think about him after what happened today..well yesterday
Anyways, your thoughts were a complete mess, they were something like..this:

I wonder if Scaramouche and Diluc are somehow connected. But how? Both of them are so different. They seem connected somehow though. This is so fucking confusing. Why am I in this mess? How am I in this mess? What is even going on? Fuck this.

You kneeled down and stared at the road. Your head felt like it was going to burst. You got up to start walking again when suddenly, you heard footsteps. You froze.

"Who's out there?" You trembled. This was because of the cold, and the fear you had. Someone chuckled as a response. Were you in some sort of book or something? This was going the exact way of a plot, you get kidnapped, someone saves you, blah blah. Wait, this wasn't the time to think about this. You needed to do something, quick!

"Just me, Y/N." the voice said. You turned around to see the one and only guy.

Scaramouche.

"Oh. It's you. What are you doing so late at night?" You asked. Seriously, why was he out so late?

"Same goes for you, loser. What are YOU doing so late?" Scaramouche responded.

You sighed and shook your head. He doesn't deserve an explanation. But you did. You then asked,

"Why did you point a knife at Diluc's neck? Do you think your some sort of supervillain?"

The midnight boy chuckled. He wore a black hoodie and grey sweatpants. His hair looked darker in the light and his eyes were full of impurities.

"Well, I really can't explain why. You'll have to find out later, Y/N."

This was so annoying. He was so annoying. Couldn't he just give you a better explanation? What did he mean by later?

"Listen up. I wanted an explanation. Not whatever you just told me." You spoke to him firmly. Scaramouche snorted at your response and then said,

"I'll tell you someday. But now is not the right time, seriously." He actually seemed like he couldn't tell you. It was like something was stopping him from doing so. And it wasn't even his own will you thought.

"I'll be leaving now." You said. You wanted to get out of his sight.

He nodded and started walking away.

pause

"Hey author. You really think I'll just leave Y/N like that? I'm taking them with me."

What? That's not part of the book, Scaramouche.

"I don't care. I am taking them with me. The chapter can't end like that."

I didn't plan that, though..

"Shut up and listen."

What the heck? How does he know this is a book?

play

Scaramouche then suddenly grabbed Y/N's hand and whispered in their ear,

"There's something I have to say."
