"Not so Smooth Arrival"

.

Warning: None

"We're arriving anytime soon" Scaramouche informed dressed in his usual attire while putting on his dumb 'hat'. I mean, it'll come in handy. For instances, it'll be a great umbrella for me to use or maybe it'll be a great object to piss him off if you just steal it from him then throw it in the middle of nowhere. "Is the outfit and hat really necessary?" you asked with a deadpanned expression, sitting comfortably by the bench closely examining his form. Scoffing at your question, he turns to look at you adjusting his hat causing a jiggle to let loose. "It is. We're not really dropping off in the port. We have to keep our profile low. I heard that Inazuma is in bad shape"  he explains coolly while you just cocked your head to the side. 

"Which means?"

"Which means, we're dropping off in a nearby village. Far away from the city. The villagers there are usually traditional now I expect you to put on a formal attire" throwing a last glance towards you, his back turned before walking away far from your form. Grumbling under your breath, your eyes gazed down at your outfit. You didn't have any other clothes rather than modern outfits, you live in Snezhnaya for Pete's sake. 

Standing up from your sitting position. Your fingers gently brush the silk of your clothes, straightening the wrinkles on it. But something soon caught your attention. The sound of a thunder's rumbles and cracks coming not far from your direction. With a click of your heels, you walked at the deck of the ship looking up to find tremendous thunderstorms approaching. This is bad. But if you get struck by lightning maybe it'll end your pain and misery yehey! Half bad I guess for your situation.

Feeling a hand touching your shoulder, you looked beside you to see Scaramouche looking at the direction you were looking at a second ago. His face held a solemn look, his grip tightening on your shoulder but not enough to actually cause any pain. "Get inside it's not safe out here" he says leading you towards the hallway. Specifically to your shared bedroom. "Aww, so you do care~" you teased, playfully bumping into his shoulder. Rolling his eyes, not even bothering to reply before pushing you inside. Tumbling slightly, your lips formed into a pout glaring at the male. "You didn't have to rudely push me inside you know" you told him, arms crossed above your chest. "Don't care. You were moving slow as a turtle so I do what I had to do" he say more of a statement which caused a scoff to escape your lips. 

"You know, there's a fun fact that I like to watch the lightning's glow you know" quirking his eyebrow, he tilts his head slightly in both confusion and curiosity to why you're telling him now. Staying quiet he didn't say anything which gave you a sign to continue. "Even though I live in a place where it's always cold and snow repeatedly falling from the sky. In my past travels I grew fond of the lightning, the sound of crashing and crumbling from the sky" you explained genuine happiness from your heart at the thought of it but really you just want to get struck by lightning and die. "Odd. And here I thought most people don't like lightnings and thunders" Scaramouche says which you only grinned in return. "Oh, please. I'm not one of those most people you're talking about" humming in thought, Scaramouche looked away and sat on the couch. "Well, that doesn't mean you can go outside and watch yourself get struck by lightning because of your stupidity now can I?" 

"I'm a harbinger. I can take care of myself-"

"You mean the weakest harbinger"

"Hey! Even if I'm the 12th doesn't mean I'm not capable"

"Yeah. Right, but still a no"

"But-"

"No"

Standing, your face looked like you were about to kill someone and the aura you emitted didn't help. It was mixed with irritation and disappointment. "I can't believe you just stopped me... Now it's gone" you barked at the male who was in the corner, his back leaned against the wall. You couldn't believe this man. Here you thought that telling him your interests would maybe soften his non existent heart and let you go sight seeing but Nooo he did the complete opposite. "Stop complaining. We're nearly there anyways." he says throwing himself off the wall before looking at the direction of an island. Your angry didn't even cease one bit, it only fired it up more. Grimacing, muttering curses under your breath.

After a few hours of waiting, the ship finally reached the shore much to your delight. "Come. Follow me" Scaramouche says, grabbing your wrist you followed him on the edge of the ship, no one around. Looking at the edge all you see is enormous bodies of water. "Don't tell me we have to jump?" you ask in disbelief, staring at the man who's face was still motionless. "Gotta keep our profiles low remember? I'm pretty sure Raiden Shogun's army will be expecting us. Don't worry I won't let you get wet cause I have a plan" Scaramouche mused before quickly grabbing your waist. Without much warning, he jumped. 

"Bastard! You're going to get my dress wet!" you exclaimed, clutching tightly onto him, closing your eyes expecting a splash to follow after. But it didn't came. Confused, you slowly fluttered your eyes open to be met by his face who has a smirk on his sinful lips. "Told ya" gazing down, much to your surprise the both of you landed on a boat. Clicking your tongue, you angrily glare at Scaramouche for almost killing you by giving you a heart attack. 

"You're unpredictable" you deadpanned causing him to chuckle in amusement. "Glad to know". Realizing something you gazed down on yourself before looking back up at him. Oh, god he was still carrying you. Silently shrieking, you jumped out of his arms, backing away. "About time. My arms were turning sore" he muttered the last part while massaging his arms. "You could've just dropped me you know!" you argued, crossing your arms. "Then, get an earful from you. No can do sweetheart." he said simply before starting the engine of the speed boat. "Stop calling me that!" you shouted, gritting your teeth. "What ever do you mean sweetheart?" he asks in an innocent tone before fully starting the boat. "And may I ask you to keep it down a little sweetheart. Cause you may attract attention" snarling at the man, mentally throwing curses at him as he drove off far away from the enormous ship.
