(first person pov)
ever since that time on the beach, scaramouche and i seem to become more closer. in a sense that he still doesn't break character. i just see him differently.
i finally feel like i can trust someone in the fatui. who would've known... it would be scaramouche, out of all of everyone.
though i have trained soldiers who have sad pasts or reason to be in the army, it wasn't the same as scaramouche. actually because there and him allowing me to cry is different.
he's been acting a lot nicer towards me as well. i could tell he actually cares without expressing it. he once defended you against dottore. shocking, right?
i was in your office, per usual, going through my paper work. that was when i heard someone at your door.
knock knock knock
"the doors open."
a fatui messenger came into your office. i was never surprise when she came in. since i usually stuck in my office.
"ah. good evening, lymila." i adjusted your posture to properly greet the messenger. "got something to report? another fatui meeting i'm guessing."
"harbinger y/n. it's not a fatui meeting i'm here for, fortunately." i sighed, relieved that i didn't need to get another lecture for the 100th time this week for going against the tsaritsa's orders or the other harbinger's commands.
"so, what then?" i good up and slowly walked her way. from there, she gave me a letter. "who's this from?" i said, looking down at the envelope. "it's from the balladeer." i quickly looked back up to lymila with surprise but somehow happy.
"thank you, lymila. you're excused." i nodded as we both walked the opposite directions. her opening the door and walking back out. and me, going back to the desk.
i sat back down at my desk and took out the letter that lymila gave me. i nervously opened the envelope and began to read the letter.
dear, y/n. i've been thinking about it. ever since we met by the shore, i thought of something. meet me me by the beach. the same place, at sunset. thank you, scaramouche
———————————————
i waited the same place that scaramouche and i met. doing my usual, i gazed out to the horizon.
after some time, scaramouche finally showed up.
"bout time. what took you?" i asked while he sat down and made himself comfortable. "i got held back from soldiers. they were asking me about their last mission." i replied with a hum.
"so what did you want to tell me?" i asked, scaramouche turned his gaze to me as our eyes met.
"i know you remember back then. when i saw you on the shores of inazuma." he started.
"oh course i do..."
"well..." scaramouche paused, probably thinking about his next words. "i sorta regret capturing you in that state. you had to go through a lot ever since you came here to snezhnaya."
i stood there silently, slightly in shock. i looked away, processing his words.
"but even though i regret putting you in this state, i don't regret meeting you." again in shock, i turned back to him.
we sat there and stared into each other's eyes. i longingly had my gaze on scaramouche's beautiful indigo eyes. though he does seem like an intimidating, mean man, deep down there is still good in him.
"tell me, how much do you hate your current title? 'y/n, n/n.'"
i thought for a while. though, it's pretty obvious that i don't like the fatui. but being called a harbinger? i definitely have mixed feelings for.
"well... knowing that i'm ranked 3rd and that i have powers, i feel like i can finally rely on myself. but, i gotta say, i hate being called a harbinger. it just makes me sound like i'm evil... a villain." in response, scaramouche sighed and followed my gaze out to the horizon.
"i guess we both hate our title..." i looked back to scaramouche, who was still watching the sea crashing on to the shore. through my actions, i got a little closer. close enough to touch shoulders. scaramouche slightly flinched from the sudden contact, but relaxed after looking at me.
"so i've been thinking..." scaramouche once again spoke up to take away all of the tension that's around them.
"can you just... run away with me?"
a/n: scaramouche... i love you but WRONG FANFIC. anyway i'm really tempted to make a scaramouche fanfic that's based off of the archon quest cuz like... ITS SO GOOD ⁉️ but i need to finish this fanfic first 😭
