In A Past Life (Scaramouchex(fem)reader)

⚜Part 16⚜

Scaramouche gets up and you whine from the missing warmth next to you.

"We have to get going before it starts raining again. Are you ready?" He asks, and you nod, getting up now as well.

The two of you grab your things and start walking almost immediately. Your body hurts, but you manage.

Scaramouche glances over to you.

"Don't worry, we're almost there." He says, giving you an almost unnoticeable smile. You chuckle.

"But first we have to cross Dragonspine.."

-

Soon you enter the snowy mountain.

A few hours have gone by, but it felt like days. There's a silence between Scaramouche and you.

Finally, the day ends. The moon is slowly rising, and you two seek shelter under a dead tree.

A small campfire and the same blanket from last night provides you two some warmth, but it isn't enough. You are shivering and your lungs hurt from the cold air. You quietly lay down next to the fire and curl up, trying to preserve your body temperature. You watch Scaramouche on the other side of the fire, playing around with his hat. He looks over to you, and you immediately avert your eyes.

...Sigh

Scaramouche gets up, and walks over to you.

"You are so sensitive to the cold, my gosh." He laughs. You groan, turning away from him.

"Hey, try to get some sleep, I'll keep my eyes open for danger." He gently sits down next to you.

After you've fallen asleep, Scaramouche watches your peaceful expression. Your shivering still hasn't stopped, which made him think. He moves a strand of hair out of your face and lays down next to you, moving closer.

He felt embarrassed by his own action, but didn't want to move away. He closed his eyes too.

-

You wake up very early. It's still dark around you, and only the smallest bit of fire illuminates the place around you. Right, you woke up because of a noise. You sit up, noticing the balladeer sleeping next to you. He was very close to you, and you felt your face heat up a bit.

*SNAP* You whip around to a twig breaking behind you.

"Shit." You whisper, seeing 3 silhouettes in the shadow, approaching you.

You go to nudge the boy next to you, but he was already awake as well.

"Y/N, stay here." He mumbles, slowly standing up.

Your breath hitches and you scoot a bit back. The shadows suddenly rush forward.

"Abyss mages!" Scaramouche yells and dodges an attack. There's a giant chaos and you see Scaramouche and the mages going near a cliff. Fear grabs you, once you notice them threatening to fall of.

"Scaramouche!!" You call, running after them. An Abyss Mage turns around to you and starts laughing maniacally. He throws an attack in your direction and you fall onto the floor, to avoid getting hit. One of the mages is about to push Scaramouche over the cliff, him still not noticing the fall behind him.

You clumsily get up and rush over to Scaramouche.

"Y/N, what are you-" He get's hit by another attack from the Abyss Mages and trips back.

You scream, grabbing his wrist and pull him back over the edge onto the ground. You fall in front of the 3 Abyss Mages and Scaramouche gets back up, getting ready for one last attack.

He throws himself at the enemy and knocks them over the edge, making them fall into their death.

"..." You look up to the Balladeer. He is breathing heavily and his nose was bleeding.

"Oh god, are you okay?" You pick yourself up and hurry over to him, cupping his face in a panic.

His eyes widen and he looks away flustered. You inspect him if he has any other wounds, noticing a deep cut in his left hand. Without hesitation you rip a piece out of your clothing and wrap it around the wound to stop the bleeding.

"Uh.." He whispers. You turn to him, him only gazing into your eyes.

"What is it, does it hurt?" You ask, loosening the bandage up a bit.

"No. That's not it." His gaze softens.

He takes your other hand off of his face and instead cups your face, wiping away tears.

Tears?

You hadn't even noticed that you'd started crying.. Scaramouche softly hushes you, and strokes your cheek.

You held your breath and flickered back and forth between his eyes and his lips.

"Y/N." He mutters, showing you an actual smile for the first time ever.

A smile. His smile.

He moves a bit closer to you, your bodies almost pressing against each other.

He tucks your hair behind your ear, admiring every feature of yours. Then, he softy moves his hand to the back of your neck, closing his eyes. You lay your hand on top of his, and finally, your lips connect.

It felt like time was standing still. His skin was soft and beautiful like porcelain. His body warm, and his breath softly tickling you. You break the kiss after a few seconds and open your eyes.

His expression. He was looking at you with pure love. A face you'd never expected to see from him, but here he was, only looking at you.

You.

"I.." He tries to speak, but no words come out.

You smile, leaning your head against his chest.

"I know, I love you too, Scaramouche."
