"Aren't you aware that you're completely abandoning your duties?"
You ask the indigo haired male who rests his head on your lap while you gently caress his hair. The male only hummed seeming unbothered, shuffling in his place. "Don't bother, I know my underlings got the hang of it" he states bluntly in a matter of fact tone before grunting in pain after you pinched his ear. "Stop procrastinating and do your job like you're supposed to. What if something goes wrong then you'll have to face the consequences of your men for your poor leadership skills" you said while he brushes your hold off of his ear. He grimaced in pain before glaring at you lightly.
"Instead of scolding me for not doing my own duties, aren't you supposed to be working yourself?" Scaramouche fires back while you scoffed in reply. "Mine is a different kind of situation, you force me to stay by your side, forcing me to abandon my duties as a Harbinger".
He crossed his arms in his chest with a smirk playing on his lips, "Then what seems to be the problem. You aren't bound to me in anyway..."
Huh?
He sat up before leaning in while you back up, trying to get away but cursed when you felt something hit your back. You were trapped. "I merely asked you to stay with me. You could have fled and left me. You're a free bird, so what's stopping you" he asks before you pinning you to the wall. He's clearly mocking you yet his eyes and tone shows a hint of curiosity. Underneath his eyes held slight pain, hurt of the thought of you possibly leaving him.
"I..." you were lost for words. You didn't know what to say as your mind spirals to possible answers. Your heart beat quickens and feel your face heating up at the close proximity. Gathering up the courage, you swiftly switched both of your positions so you were on top of him while he was at the bottom. His breath hitched in surprise because of the sudden action.
"Maybe I've grown attached to you..." you admit in a whisper while he looks up at you in shock as you trail your fingers on his cheek to his chin. "I used to hate you. Don't misunderstand, I still hate your cocky attitude but now... It's not that strong, I'm...unsure" you tell him slightly embarrassed while he flushes at your words. Grabbing your wrist, he brought you down near him before he looked you right in the eyes, red tint still covering his cheeks. With determined eyes he ask, "What am I to you?"
That simple question made you halt, freezing on top of him. Taken aback of the sudden question you blushed. It was only for a second that you lost the ability to speak until you gulped down a lump stuck on your throat.
