Just an act - Kazuscara

Chapter 7

Kazuha pov:
'Scaramouche has been ignoring me, did I do something wrong?' These thoughts have been in my head for the past week or so. 'he's been hanging out with that ginger head. Im assuming his name is Ajax.'

The only time Scaramouche would talk to me is during our shoots and rehearsals; I guess he's just forced to talk, reading and remembering the lines.

I feel like this story will have a sweet ending, I'm not sure but.. what about us? I know everything is suppose to be all fake, an act. But the aura that I feel around him is different now. I don't sense the liveness in his face or words after work, almost like he's emotionless (haha, sorry). Of course, he still acts very different when being with his sister, maybe she has a reason why Scaramouche is doing all this; by all this, I mean ignoring me. So I planned to go ask this afternoon or so.

Afternoon:
"Hey.." I coughed, "Ei right?"

"Hello Kazuha sweetie, do you need anything?" A pink haired fox girl said from behind Ei. The two ladies seem to be having a tea party; like those adult ones, not childish ones.

"Miko, don't interrupt me." Ei asked, "so what brings you here Mr. Kaedehara?"

'Weird, she always calls me Kazuha when in private.'

"How's Scaramouche doing?" I couldn't feel my words, they probably sounded like cookies crumbling.

"Scara hasn't been in the right condition lately, but I insure you he'll be okay." She sounded like she was lying, "do you need anything else?"

"Do you know where he is?"

"Pardon, sir?" Ei said almost choking on her tea.

"Where is Scaramouche?" I said, this time with a more furious tone. "Ms. Raiden, I would like you to answer my question honestly."

"... I'm not sure where he is but he's probably hanging out with his friends."

"Whom exactly?"

"Im not sure—" The girl next to her that Ei called 'Miko' cut her off. "Scaramouche is hanging out with Ajax and Rosalyne-Kruzchka Lohefalter. As for if your asking for location then, I'm not sure at all." She said while giggled at Ei.

Ei pov:
'Ah I'm so getting killed when I go back home.' I thought to myself.

"Thank you, I'll see myself out." Kazuha soon walked out.

"Wonder how long it'll take for them to go back together." Yae stopped. I talked back, "They're friends Miko."

"I don't think friends do whatever they do.. looking at the two or three pictures that you have of them together."

'Oh god Miko can be a pain sometimes.' I stood up, "if my brother wishes not to talk about this anymore, we shall keep my mouth shut on this situation."

She saw the anger on my face, "hehe.. alright."

Kazuha pov:
Where could he be?! Where..? I looked everywhere in Liyue Harbor, but no signs of Scara. I feel hurt, can't describe the pain I feel, I couldn't catch my breath and I soon collapsed on the cold harden wood below me.

"Wow idiot, you finally woke up! How are you feeling? Hehe." that voice, "Scaramouche!" I yelled, but there was no answer. His giggles soon disappeared, leaving me alone, choking up my tears. I saw his two friends next to him, they look like they are having a good time. Good for them..? Right now there was only one word in my head: 'alone'. I don't even know where I am, but I do not wish to stay. Soon enough I was well to hear another voice.
