"A puppet?" || Scaramouche X Reader

✧Rules✧

Scaramouche pov:

"Took you long enough."
"Now that that is finally out of the way, come with me"

As usual, Y/N nodded at me without saying a word.
I walked towards the entrance making the two Cicin Mages rush forward the door to open it for me. They both looked at me with almost happy faces watching me as a walked through

"Something the matter"
I irritatingly asked while giving one of the Mages an eyebrow raise
"No sir!"
They both shouted at the same time.
I let out a quiet huff before continue walking
"That's what I thought."

✧ • ✧ • ✧ • ✧

After a non-distracting walk to my office, I finally sat back down on my chair while Y/N stood before my desk waiting for me to give her orders
"Let's discuss the rules:
Don't interrupt me.
Do whatever I tell you to, no excuses.
Don't lie to me.
Don't try to stop me from doing anything
Don't talk back to me.
Don't get in my way.
Stay out of my privacy.
That is all. For now"
I unemotionally said while putting a stack of papers on the edge of the desk.

"Any questions?"
I asked with an annoyed tone
"What's your real name sir?"
She exclaimed while she tiled her head to the side.
It almost surprised me that she would ask a question such as this one "Scaramouche"
The puppet slightly smiled at me before uttering
"That's all."

I stood up from my chair and made my way forward to the front doors. Opening one of them I remarked "We will have a meeting at 6 am tomorrow, now dismiss"
Y/N nodded at me. Before she could walk any further I stopped her by saying
"And stop answering me with these weird signs. Instead say 'yes sir' or 'no sir'"

"Yes sir" Y/N answered before awkwardly leaving my office
"Also, go get one of the Cicin Mages to show you your room. If we even have any that is."
"That's an order"

"Yes sir!"

(Finally!!) Y/N pov:

As I made my way through the door I felt Scaramouche piercing gaze on me. It sent shivers down my spine, to say the least. Trying my best to ignore it I continued my mission to go find a Cicin Mage that could help me get a room.
Easier said than done turns out it's quite
hard to find a Cicin Mage in a huge building such as this.
Everywhere I went I only saw either pyro agents or Fatui Skirmishers

"Excuse me, are you perhaps searching after someone?"
An unknown voice spoke to me from behind.
They had probably noticed how many times I've passedparticularicular spot while searching around back and forth.
I turned around to the unknown voice revealing another Fatui Skirmisher
"Can I talk to a Cicin Mage?"
The Skirmisher confusingly
looked at me saying
"Don't you know that they all have they're training right now?"
I blankly looked at him before sighing deeply
"Then when are the-"
My senses got cut off by the Skirmisher. He looked at me like he had just seen a ghost
"Wait."
"Are you perhaps Scaramouches' new assistant?!"
I looked at him with confusion at the sudden change of topic.
The guy then got near to my ear whispering
"You really got balls to work under position you know"

What did he mean by that?
I mean sure Scaramouche's personality is indeed scary but he made it sound like the guy is some mass murderer?

"So uh- do you know when all the Cicin mages are done with their training?"
I asked, being the one who is changing the subject this time
"Oh yeah, they should be ready at any moment. Down that hall, they all meet up"
He spoke, aiming his finger forward the long hallway. I thanked him and left.

After I made my way through the long hallway I finally made it to what looked like a big hall. I noticed a bunch of purple-looking ladies talking to each other
"Excuse me"
I said greeting one of the Mages
"Scaramouche ordered me to find a room where I could stay in. Could you perhaps help me find one?"
The Cicin Mage looked at me with confusion before busting out laughing
"Did you hear that!"
She laughed out to the other Mage before telling her what was going on
"Excuse me?"
I asked with confusion, making the Cicin Mage face me again. She then put her hand on top of my shoulder laughing out "Never in my life would I have thought to hear something this hilarious!"

"I can't, Scaramouche giving someone an order like that!"
The other one laughed while wiping off a tear from her eyes"
I looked at them with a puzzled face
"But I am saying the tru-"

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS FUSS ALL ABOUT?!"

"Shit..."
The Mage anxiously muttered.

Looking at who the familiar voice belonged to it was none other than Scaramouche himself.
He cleared his throat and demanded someone to explain this situation.
I didn't even know what was going on so I chose to stay silent.
Unlucky everyone chooses to do so as well leaving Scaramouche no other choice than to pick someone. He let out a sigh before saying
"...Y/N?"
Turning my gaze up from the floor to Scramouches figure I inhaled heavily before saying "I was following your order to go find a Cicin Mage who can help me find a free room to stay in, Sir!"
In return, Scaramouche looked at me with confusion before irritatingly saying
"Then what is the problem?"

Dead silence

"Whatever, you there! Go help her find a room!"
Scaramouche called out, aiming his index finger toward one of the Mages.
She nodded in return and walked to me
"Let's go"
She said with a cold tone.
I silently nodded and followed her from behind.

"This one should work, it's also the closest to Scaramouche's office since I have heard that the two of you are working together"
I bowed to her before saying
"Thank you!"
As I bend back up I noticed how her face has gone from a cold stare to a soft one
"Uh- anytime, also here are the keys. Goodbye"
She spoke before turning around to leave. Disappearing into the endlessly long hallway.

I looked back at her before turning around again to open the door to my new room with the keys that the lady gave me.

The room itself wasn't huge but there were loads of windows which made it more comfortable to live in.
On the right side, there was a bed that had a pillow and a blanket on it. In the center of the room there was a desk not too small but big enough to work on,
on top of it lay loads of paperwork.
In the back, there was also a wardrobe. I looked inside and saw some clothes hanging on the closets inside.
"Hm let's see... a black kimono a white kimono, so many kimonos!"

After finishing looking through the room I crawled into my bed. This room looked like someone was already living in it. The filled closet and all that paperwork. Hopefully, I am just overthinking things.

Also, Scaramouche said that our next meeting would be at 6 am tomorrow right? That means I can finally take a rest until then.
I reminded myself before pulling the blanket over my cold body to finally take a rest.

If only that could've worked out…

A/N: Sorry that this Chapter was kinda lame
(⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)
I am thinking about the storyline of this book as I write but hopefully, it's gonna work out!!
Anyway, I will try to upload once a week. See you next time!!
