Wind doesn't always carry you to safety...

Oh the Stupidity of it all

Dating.

They were dating.

Just a month or so ago it was him in the back of his car running out of breath rapidly as the one above him stole any new air he was getting.

Just a month or so ago Scaramouche was fine, great even, but now...
Now was different.
It was different because Scaramouche wasn't the one in the back of his car.
It was different because he wasn't sitting next to him at lunch.
He wasn't anything.
He was just another face in the crowd to those around him and he couldn't help but wonder just how it started?

During summer break? No.

Then the middle of term? Not then either.

At the start of winter?

...

Ah.

That's it. Winter. That's when it happened.

That's when he met-

Him...

The one that is in the back of his car... The one that does sit next to him during lunch...

His replacement.

But not just his replacement.

No, because what they had was fake, a lie, a false chance at something real...

What was in front of him in Math class, that was real.

That was small kisses between classes, it was hugs when the other was upset, it was feelings in the back of his car...

It was love...

What Kazuha had with Gorou was love.

The kind of love that Scaramouche never had. The kind he'd never have, because only a certain type of person can give that kind of love, just like how only a certain type of person can deserve that kind of love.

Scaramouche was neither.

How could he be when he never knew what it felt like?

Sure he had parents but its not like they actually did what everyone else's parents did. No, they just liked the title, the feeling of being in control of another person.

So here he is, on the swing in the park in the middle of archons knows where. Was he even in Inazuma anymore? He didn't know and didn't care, because he was away. Away from everyone,

His parents; Ei and Miko
His friends; Xiao and Albedo
Their boyfriends; Venti and Aether
Kazuha...
and his boyfriend; Gorou

He was away from all of them and he liked it,
he liked the quiet that came with it,
it was nice,

till it wasn't

"Scaramouche?"

He stopped swinging, "What?" he said in the most uninterested voice he could manage,

"It is you!" the blonde made his way over to the boy on the swing and sat on the swing next to him,

"Who the fuck else would i be?" the significantly shorter boy asked the blonde next to him,

"Hey now you're not exactly the easiest person to find you know" The blonde chuckled as the Indigo haired boy glared at him

"I'll ask again one more time - What do you want Itto?" He asked, blowing the smoke out of his mouth, he was starting to get annoyed by the others interruption in his otherwise quiet night.

"..."

Scaramouche looked at the other and was met with white hair covering Itto's face,

"They're dating"
