____________________________________

You body was limp and your chest rose and fell with soft breaths you were taking, Scaramouche held you closer and knew you had fallen asleep. His eyes were still closed and his mind was running wild with thoughts. They were mostly about you and for some reason it almost made him feel.... Less irritated than usual, happy almost. Your company had been growing on him every single day you were around it was almost relieving when he could see you again.

Fucking brat..." he whispered to himself and sighed. His thumb had began to run light circles onto your skin and he didn't even realize what he was doing at first. It was almost like an instinct of some kind for his fingers

He stilled when you mumbled in your sleep and at first he couldn't understand your words. Scaramouche almost wanted to yell at you to speak up but remember you two were in bed. Another instinct of the sort

"Scara don't.."

The Harbinger's eyes snapped opened and he leaned up onto his elbow to gaze at your face. He was able to understand those but words but not your request

"Don't do what?" He whispered "I'm not doing anything right now." Scaramouche placed a hand on your shoulder and watched as you only slept on without waking. Ah you were still asleep, just mumbling in your dreams

He was almost afraid he had waken you from your sleep, but he was relieved to see you were still resting.

"Su I'm sorry..."

Oh. You were dreaming about him and Su. That's awkward

Scaramouche laid back down to get comfortable and sighed. Was it cruel for what he had done to you both? Yes but it had to done, it had to be done to keep you in line. The Harbinger had to remind you of the power he held over you, after all it was your fault. You were the one who just wouldn't submit and challenged him daily, hell you even had the marking on your hip as proof of your defiance. Now you had come to regret it

Did he? Not exactly

Closing his eyes tighter he remembered all the hard work he done to ensure you would stay with him. Scaramouche actually couldn't really consider it hard work as it was really nothing, at least for him it wasn't. It was irritating

He thought back to a couple of days ago when he was in the office without you, how bored he was. And his surprise guest that somehow spared him the boredom

-

A knock at the door at surprisingly caught the Harbinger off guard, jumping slightly at the interruption. "Archons," He whispered and closed a drawer that was open at his desk. "What?!"

"My lord. You have a Visitor for you." A voice called from behind the door

A visitor? Who the hell would dare to try and visit him during his break? Whoever did it was begging to be pummeled to a pulp for interrupting

Scaramouche stood quickly and didn't even bother to respond, yanking the door to the office open harshly

The Fatui agent standing behind the door gasped as the sudden action, used to letting the guest in personally himself. "M-My lord!"

"Get the fuck out of the fucking away." Scaramouche hissed and shot a pissed off look to the agent. Clearly not in the mood for anything of the sorts. Quickly they bowed and scrambled off without glancing back at the aggregated man they called their boss
