Dealing With Him

Tartaglia is the first to wake up that morning.

he feels a warm head against his chest. It's scaramouche. How did they end up like this? Childe thinks, did I sleep with him? like, sleep sleep with him? no, that's not the case. Scaramouche was drunk and walked into his room, he had no choice but to let the little one stay.

Scaramouche woke up soon after that. He muttered something along the lines of "why is my pillow so hard?" And "my head hurts."

he looks up at Childe and immediately he feels blush rise to his face.

"Oh god. Did we-?" he wasn't aware of what his intoxicated self did last night, but he was scared to find out.

Childe look down at him, confused.

"Hm? What are you-" It clicks.

"Oh! No, no, jesus no."

"Why am I even here then?" He says, disgusted.

"Last night, you were drunk." well no shit. "And I took you home, changed you and uh-"

"Changed me?"

"Nevermind. You just went into my bedroom and wanted to stay here."

"And why didn't you sleep on the couch?"

"Well, because you asked me to stay. We're you really that drunk? You don't remember any of this?"

Oh, Scaramouche remembers. Some of it, at least. He remembers asking Childe to stay. That was in a complete sober mindset, but he didn't need to know that.

"No, I don't."

"He made you lunch?"

"No, these were leftovers. He said I could have them."

"Leftovers that were conveniently placed into a cute little bento box that has a cat baring striking resemblance to you on the lid?"

"He has younger siblings. He probably just took one of their boxes by mistake."

"Scara, he literally made little bears out of the rice."

Scaramouche isn't stupid. He knows there are some days when Childe is purposefully making him food because he knows what Scaramouche is like. But Scaramouche won't allow himself to think of that because if he does then his insides get all.. weird and his cheeks feel warm and while it's not unpleasant , it's unfamiliar.

Unknown territory is dangerous territory. Scaramouche would be an idiot to let his guard down and walk straight into enemy lines.

"Seriously, someone else is gonna snatch him right up if you don't do something," Kazuha shrugs, locking his arms behind his head.

"I wish I could slap you to death."

Scaramouche loves his friends. Really, he does, even if he doesn't ever verbalize those feelings.

However, Archons is he tired of being dragged left and right as Kahzuha and Dottoro force him to attend event after event. Scaramouche hasn't been able to fully rest since they got here and frankly, it was driving him to the brink of insanity.
