As it was planned, you met up with your Lord andthe other Fatuis, but you couldn't look your Lord straight in the eyes after what you dreamed. In all honesty, this dream kinda reflected what you were feeling towards your Lord. After these past few days you found yourself being fond of him. You knew there was always this... intriguing feelings about him since the first day you met him, but it grew harder these past days staying by his side.
"Now that our job in Liyue is done, tomorrow we will go back in Inazuma to help distribute the delusion" said your Lord. "Today do whatever you want, I don't care. Let me just make some things clear."
He then explained some rules and what you all have done so far for about ten minutes then the meeting was finally over. You hoped to quickly leave without him noticing you, but unfortunately he called your name.
"Y/N. Come with me. We need to see the man that YOU gave a last chance before collecting his debts."
You avoided any eyes contact and only nodded, hiding your red face from him. He didn't seem to notice your uncomfort for now, which was good. You both headed to that old man's house. During the way he tried talking to you, but quickly noticed that you seemed distant. He was about to say something when you arrived to that man's house. Lord Scaramouche knocked and the door opened immediately. The man seemed really nervous.
"G-Good... Good morning..." he stuttered.
"You know what we're here for so hurry up."
"A-Actually... What do you say of some tea? My son is here too..." he said as a beautiful man arrived from the upper floor.
You actually made a move towards the living room but your Lord immadiately stopped you.
"Did I not make myself clear? The debts." he said with dry tone.
In all honesty, while Scaramouche was arguing with the owner of this house you and the son were only exchanging glances. He looked quite beautiful to be honest. He had short brown hair and beautiful golden eyes. His skin was tanned and his face perfectly shaped.
"You know what? I'm done, I'll let this ugly ass ginger deal with you!"
Lord Scaramouche grabbed your hand and left the house. Once you both were far enough your Lord stopped in his movement and turned to you.
"Is something wrong, my Lord?" you asked, quite concerned as the way he was looking at you.
"That man earlier... The way you looked at him..." he crossed his arms and went closer to your face. "I want you to look at me this way. Me and me only."
You remembered the son with who you were exchanging glances and nodded. To be honest you were already looking at that way but today you were particularly distant. Your Lord moved forward and looked down at you.
"And why are you suddenly avoiding me? Did I scare you?"
You shook your head, suddenly red because of that dream.
"No."
Once again he came closer to you. It looked like he didn't realize how close he were suddenly.
"Then what?"
"It's..."
your face became red jsut by memoring the dream. His frowned in confusion.
"Why are you red? Are you sick?"
When he said the last question you could hear his voice shaking a little.
"No, not at all!" you exclaimed, agitating your hands in front of you, and shaking your head as a "no".
"Then what is it, mmh?
"It's... It's something I can't share with you my Lord", you said having difficulties to swallow.
He examinated you and as if he realize you weren't lying, he sighed and turned around.
"Nevermind, let's go."
You nodded and followed him. Suddenly he stopped as if he realized something and turned to you.
"Who did this to you?"
"Did what?"
"I'm talking about what happened to you yesterday. You lied to me, right? So, I'm asking again : Who did this to you?"
You quickly remembered what happened, but you couldn't say it to him. You didn't want the other fatui to get in trouble because of you. Perhaps you were too kind, but you couldn't help it.
"No, I told you, my Lord, it was a fight with the treasures hoarders."
Your Lord sighed, and pinched his nose, clearly annoyed.
"You know I hate it when you lie to me, Y/N" he raised his voice.
You slightly startled at his yelling, and lowered your head.
"I can't tell you my Lord, I don't know what will happen if I tell you the truth..."
He looked at you, still looking mad but part of him was also confused now.
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean, my Lord... It could get me in trouble."
"Whatever, you do know I can protect you, right?" he yelled.
You startled again. You tried your best to not look him in the eye.
"I... I know..."
He sighed.
"You really don't want to tell me, huh?"
You shook your head, which made him sighed.
"Whatever let's go back to the Inn."
You nodded and followed him without saying a word during the whole way.
