Last journey with a new beginning || scaramouche x y/n

- Chapter 24

-And to your surprise there sat nobody else other than your favorite ex-boss, Scaramouche.

Scaramouches eyes went wide for a second, before he let his face drop back to normal, leaving a smirk.

"Well, hello there...darling~"

Scaramouche grinned. He raised his hand and the door immediately shut behind you. You stood there, hesitant if he found out or not.

"Don't be scared now sweetie, come here and tell me your name eh?"

He spoke, with a deep and rich, like velvet, smooth voice. His voice warmed you. Scaramouches eyes flickered to his own, then back to you, and then to the door. He lifted his index finger and invited you towards him. You slowly approached him in an alluring manner. As you came closer to him, you noticed that his eyes were full of lust and desire. The way he was staring at you made you feel as if you were in a trance. Your heart beat rapidly. His eyes seemed to be searching your soul. He stood up to face you, only to place his arm around your waist and with a blink, the whole room was purple and then thats how you were back at his office.

He let go of your waist and walked towards his desk before sitting on his chair. You stood there in the middle of the room, angry that you let him lure yourself out of your freedom.

"So...y/n...You had decided to run off and become a stripper I heard..."

"Well I was kidnapped at first and then-"

"At-at-at shhhhh, save it,"

He interrupted, crossing his arms while leaning his back into the chair. He sighed as he continued,

"I'm not sure I understand the point of this. I've been trying to figure it out all day. It seems like you're asking me to help you solve a mystery about you and your behavior...why don't you ever obey me and do as I say is it really that hard?!

"Yes, definitely! I never agreed taking part of this fatui business?"

"Well why take part then if you don't want to?!"

"Because I was forced...? By YOU?!"

"Ah yes I forgot about that, sorry yes. Alright whatever I don't wish to listen to this bullshit anymore and i'm sure you wouldn't want to continue either considering how much paperwork you have left to do which you haven't even started with yet,"

He stated, moving his hand in a shoo- motion, almost like you were an animal.

"You know what? Fine!"

You snapped, storming out of his office and going into your office instead. You sat behind your desk and started filling out the shit ton of paperwork that had been left for you while you had been gone. A fucking nuisance.

A long night of work, and soon you slept behind your desk. Scaramouche knocked on your door, but no answer. He quietly opened the door and entered your office, his eyes meeting your sleeping face. He went back into his office and grabbed his quilt. He stood behind you, and then ever so slightly set the quilt on top of you, slightly smiling to himself.

𝙲𝚞𝚛𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚕𝚢 - 𝚗𝚘𝚘𝚗

You sat in the cafeteria with Thoma, talking, laughing, sharing your latest adventures, gossiping and whatever else people talk about after not seeing eachother for a long while. You sipped on your instant coffee (which you had previously stolen from the liyue cafe), when all of a sudden you realised,

"Shit!"

"What happened?"

Thoma questioned out of curiosity, leaning his head a bit to the left like a puppy.

"ALL MY STUFF ARE STILL BACK AT LIYUE
SINCE I WAS STOLEN!!!"

"Well you went with Childe didn't you? I'm sure he'll get your things back after what you had to go through,"

"You sure?"

"Yuh, pretty confident about that. Speaking of which I last saw him 3 days ago. Any clue where he might be?"

"Probably back at Sumeru or somewhere there
on his way back here since the angry blueberry
left him back there and only took me with him so-"

"Eeh sounds about exactly the same what I thought it will be, either ways the bell goes soon so catch up again at dinner?"

"Definitely,"

you smiled. You both took your food trays to the food tray shelf. Thoma gazed at you softly, so you smiled back at him. He was so pretty, you could not help but feel a bit jealous. You hugged eachother tightly, feeling up eachothers body warmth after spending long hours in cold weather and in the cold fatui headquarteres. You both needed that hug, it felt like you both were always by eachothers side and could rely on eachother. But that wasn't true, because you had only known him for two months, and you rarely saw eachother because of your cocky boss. Not to mention you had also been so busy with your work, your life was going so fast, that you forgot to feel warmth. You hugged him back extra tight this time, and he repeated your gesture. But that didn't last long before that cocky blueberry of a boss had shown up and used his magical electro powers to tear you both apart.

"Well, well, well... I just happened to pass by only to stumbled into this surprise. How wonderful!"

Scaramouche clapped as he slowly approached both of you. He gazed altered between you, then Thoma, then again you, then Thoma. You and Thoma stood in place. You both were about 3 feet apart, and staring back at Scaramouche. Scaramouche stopped right infront of you both before turning his attention towards Thoma,

"Don't you have something to attend to, Thoma?"

Scaramouche asked. Thoma gulped before nodding and quickly walking away.

"And you, y/n? Don't you have something to say for yourself?"

Scaramouche questioned as he raised his eyebrow. 

"No, not really? I was just talking to a friend. But you wouldn't understand since it's not like you have any?"

You smiled, while leaning yourself to the back wall.
By now the cafeteria was empty, meaning you could easily lash out on him, but you had better things to waste your energy on other than this.

"Meet me in my office in 10,"

He muttered, before placing his hands behind his back and walking off. Honestly, what a bitch?!

———————————•••••••••••——————————-

You took your time to get to his office, you would have been late anyway if you had rushed. But why rush for someone like Scaramouche anyways? As you approached Scaramouches office door, a woman came running out of it. She was clearly shedding a few tears, with her makeup scattered around her face...
