~~~

Miko was leaning forward on the couch, elbows on her knees as her hands moved around in her hair, almost pulling it out.

Scaramouche sat beside her, arms crossed over his chest, face a mix of emotions as he leaned against the couch, seemingly wanting to just stay on that couch forever.

Alhaitham was on a sofa beside them, one foot on the other legs knee with his arms also across his chest, an expression you could hardly read.

Everyone's emotions were a mixture of shock, anger and sadness. Miko's also seemed...blank.

You were standing in front of them, all of them seemingly trying to comprehend everything.

"It's always something with you." Miko sighed, dragging a hand down her face, and you would've chuckled if it weren't given the current circumstances.

"Who else knows this? Who else has been hiding this?" Scaramouche asked with a voice so harsh that it took you aback.

You blinked, trying to comprehend just how angry he was before you shook your head, deciding this was it the time to be too sensitive. "Other than what I've told you already such as Pierro's family and Dainsleif."

"Pantalone didn't know though!" You quickly assured, hoping Scaramouche wouldn't try to beat him up.

It calmed him down just a teensy bit.

"Anyone else?"

You turned to Alhaitham, who was more on the shocked side instead of angry. You had a feeling he was mad, just...didn't want to take it out on you.

You'd let him in some ways, though...anyway...

"Uhm, well someone knows, just not the whole story! It was when I first started guessi-"

"Who." He finally met your eyes, and he wasn't asking who, he was demanding it.

"...Cyno."

Alhaitham's eyes widened, anger starting to mix into his expression now. "What?"

"He didn't know everything! It was before It was even confirmed, I just thought about it after what Capitano told me and it was when I was brought to Cyno so he could help me with my injuries! I just told my suspicions and he didn't really care but then I told him later on and by later on I mean literally 4 hours ago!"

You panted once your stammering and explaining came to an end, and during all of that Alhaitham's expression did not change one bit.

"Can you guys say something other than glare at me? I know I fucked up I know I did! But you have to understand I didn't even know anything when I found out, I thought it was all a sick game! Then so much more happened and I was too focused on everything else that even Xiao doesn't know! My own fucking brother doesn't even know!"

You didn't even realize how your semi-apology turned into you yelling, finally letting it all out.

"For the last 2 years all of us have lost a part of us and it has only been ME who had to face the burden of knowing while not being able to do anytbint because I didn't want you all to face it with me! SO PLEASE JUST FUCKING SAY SOMETHING!"

You panted, eyes widening after 10 whole seconds when you realized you just went full on out. Another part of your realization was when their eyes slightly widened in surprise but not too much to the point it was of shock.
