Thunderstruck (Scaramouche x GN!Reader)

Kuni

I woke up to the warmth of another body next to mine, which startled me. For a moment, I thought it might've been Paimon, but I wasn't in my house. I was in Chinju Forest.

I quickly backed away from where I'd awoken to see that it was Scaramouche that I was sitting next to.

He started to stir when I backed away. "Ah... Scaramouche?" I whispered.

He rubbed his eyes. "You're finally awake? ...I'm surprised you were able to fall asleep outside. Especially when it's so cold. You never know what'll jump out at you."

It was then that I realized he wasn't wearing his hat. It was lying on the ground next to him.

"...Sorry. I didn't realize I had been so tired."

"No matter. Y/N, I need your help with something." He stood up from his spot, the blanket that was covering him falling to the ground. He kneeled slightly to pick up his hat and set it on his head.

"I have a couple things I need to purchase in Inazuma City. Mostly for our mission. Someone might recognize me as a member of the Fatui, so I'll need you to accompany me." He said, setting one hand on his hip and tilting his hat slightly upward with the other.

I stood up from my spot on the ground and brushed off my clothing. "I'm afraid that simply just 'being around me' will not keep you safe. You said it yourself. I'm a wanted criminal, and I'll probably draw attention to you. You're going to need some other kind of attire as well."

"Seems the trustworthy Traveler is not as trustworthy as the people in Mondstadt had claimed." He smirked. "Where am I supposed to get new clothes from?"

"I have connections. I'm sure I'll find something. But you won't be able to wear that big hat of yours either." I pointed to his head, and he instinctively reached for the rim of his hat.

"By the way..." I added.

"...What?"

"Can I call you by your real name? Or, um, Kuni? 'Scaramouche' is kinda long." I asked.

"Fuck no." He sneered.

"Then should I just start singing Bohemian Rhapsody every time I call your name? Because it's hard not to—"

"Kuni works fine." He grumbled.

.....

"You need... to borrow some of my clothes?" Thoma asked, confused.

"...Yeah."

"Can I ask why?"

"Well, I mean, it's not like you're going anywhere, and I have a friend who needs to borrow some..." I thought for a second, "'cool' guys' clothes."

"Aww. 'Cool clothes.' Okay. I can let your friend borrow an outfit. Is there anything in particular that they need other than a shirt and pants?"

"No, that's all I need. Thank you, Thoma."

...

I quietly led Scaramouche into my house in the Serenitea Pot, hopeful to not disturb Paimon.

"Take these. Go in my room and change." I ordered.

"Hmph. Who are you to order me around?" He scoffed.

"Just hurry up and change. And be quiet. I don't want Paimon to catch you." I rushed.

He groaned. "Fiiine. Whatever you say, Y/N." He said my name clearly.
