Scaramouche swallowed thickly as he flipped a spare mora between his fingers, stressed with what will happen in the next day. He was loosing time and soon you if he didn't act fast. Luckily he had time to think as Childe had taken his leave already from the restaurant. The bill fully paid as Scaramouche finished the last bit of wine left in pre paid glass. The deep red reflected beautifully

"Take her hand in marriage, as your wife she will be allowed in. Besides it's not like Y/N can say no. You practically own her. The debt is only paused."

His eyes narrowed at Childe's words, deep in thought as they rang in his head

"Stake your claim Scara."

Should he? He felt that everything had been going so well even if it had only been a day being back with you. Marriage wasn't something that Harbingers did, they didn't have time for it. However Scaramouche always made time for you and he couldn't help but agree with Childe's words more

"Your wife, besides it's not that much of a change. You want her around all the time anyway,"

That Scaramouche did, even during separation he was drove mad by your missing presence. Quite literally

"Y/N...." He whispered your name and for the first time test the new phrase on his tongue "Y/N my wife."

How weird that sounded, just him having a wife in general was weird. Although if it was you he wouldn't mind it. After all no one would dare speak a threat or raise a hand to you. You would be under all of the Fatui's protection

Scaramouche would be deployed in Inuzuma for Archons knows how long. If he was droven mad from just a few weeks he couldn't imagine this

Setting the wineglass down he sighed, his decision would need to be made quick. He just didn't want to scare you off

Ekaterina and you laughed at your table as you held you drink out in her direction "I can't believe he never told me that!"

She covered her mouth to try and stifle her laughs "I don't think Lord Scaramouche would ever admit to a mishap like that. Not in a thousand years!"

She returned her drink to point in your direction as well "Not even to you!"

Calming down you leaned back in your seat and smiled, "I wonder if he's home yet."

Ekaterina raised a brow and smirked "Home huh? You two sound VERY cozy with another. The next thing you'll know BOOM! Married!"

Setting your drink down onto the table you choked on the liquor in your mouth "M-Married?! Please!"

"Please like please? Or please no?"

Sending her a look you held out your hand as if it was obvious but Ekaterina really couldn't tell. Scaramouche needed someone like you because you kept him happy and calm. You kept him sane

And that benefited all the Fatui around him

"Listen all I'm saying is with the way you two look at each other.... I mean especially HIM! Scaramouche has never looked at someone like that before. So soft." Ekaterina added and you flushed lightly at her words.

"And I work around him and Childe a lot. He truly loves you. You done made a Harbinger soft Y/N, a strong defeat."

You smiled and shrugged "I don't know, he tells me he loves me all the time now but with a Harbinger it's hard to tell. I don't doubt it but I just..."
