Scaramouche was still sitting near Lihua Pool, shocked. His mind was still processing what was happening. Why did you do that anyway? Not that felt bad... but this was confusing.
After a while he stood up and went back in Inn. He was right in front of your door, hesitated an instant before turning around and going in his room instead. He knew in advance that you would probably avoid him for a couple of days after noticing how embarassed you felt when running away.
The next day, he left the Inn, not even looking at your door. You would go back to Inazuma tomorrow, anyway. He thought about forgetting about that, but his mind kept repeating the scen over and over again. He was at a meeting with some of his subordinates et Childe, and didn't notice that for a couple minutes he was spacing out.
"Scaramouche?"
Childe shook his hand in front of Scaramouche and this one came back to reality.
"What?!" he agressively asked.
"Woah, I see someone isn't in the mood today."
"Don't freaking bother me. Meet up done, you all can leave."
The subordinates looked confused since Childe wasn't really done talking but left immediately after Scaramouche angrily stared at them. Childe and Scaramouche when now alone, to the great regret of the smaller one.
"What's wrong, Scaramouche?" asked the ginger, curious.
"We're not friends, Childe. So don't even try to sympathize with me, it won't work."
"Damn, she really put you in a bad mood, didn't she? What happened you guys broke up?"
"What the fuck are you talking about?" said Scaramouche in an anrgy and confused tone.
"Come on, don't hide it to me, I know this is about our dear y/n! I see you together everyday and suddenly, she doesn't show up at the meet up and you seem all grumpy!"
"Shut up, Childe, I don't want to talk with you!"
"Oooh, so I am right! This is about her!"
Scaramouche sighed and then headed towards the door to leave. But Childe quickly grabbed his arm.
"Get. Off. Me." said Scaramouche menacingly.
"You know I can help you, right?"
"I don't need your help, damn ginger!"
Scaramouche aggressively freed his arm and then left. Childe chuckled, knowing that you were the one stuck in his head right now.
Scaramouche wandered in Liyue streets, when suddenly he noticed you. Bad for him, you noticed him too. And quickly you ran away. Scaramouche didn't think more and ran after you, pushing some people oin his way. You were running a fast you can but unfortunately for you, your Lord was quicker. He grabbed your arm and turned you to face him. Your face was just millimeters away and you blushed immediately.
"Don't you dare running away from me again."
"My Lord, I... I really need to go somewhere!"
"Don't lie to me!"
He kept his grip on your arm and brought you somewhere where no one would bother both of you.
"Explanation about yesterday, right now!" he ordered, crossing his arms.
He noticed you were looking everywhere but him. He sighed and grabbed your chin making you look his way.
"Stop doing that!"
"What?"
"Avoiding me!"
"Why?"
"Because! I ...I don't like it."
"Mmph..." you only replied, looking away, blush on your cheeks.
He let go of your chin and stared at you.
"So? What happened."
"What do you mean "what happened"? I kissed you!" you said hiding your face with your hands.
"Why?"
You didn't answer. He pushed your hands away and grabbed your chin again looking straight into your eyes.
"I said, why."
"Because..."
You looked away.
"Because I like you..." you whispered.
He look at you, confused. He went to you to get his ideas clear but it was even worse. You like him? Like... a friend or? And why "him"? Why not someone else? How was he so special to you?
"What do you mean...?"
You looked at him.
"What?"
He let go of your chin.
"What do you mean by "you like me"?"
You turned your head away, blushing and pouting.
"You get what I mean."
He sighed and made you look at him.
"Explain... please."
You stared at him for a moment, lost in his eyes.
"I... want you. In any way. I want you to be with me, always and never let me go.
"Why me...?" he asked, genuinely confused.
"What do you mean why you? I don't control my feelings!"
He sighed, like he realized something and then embraced you. You stood up there, shooked. It wasn't very Scaramouche of him to do that. But you didn't complaoin and returned the embrace. You felt protected and good in his arms. He got rid off his hat for you to not ber bothered by it and didn't let go.
"I don't understand feeling, and I don't get why you choose me out of all people, but I guess I... I accept it."
"I accept it" was all he could say? You were cvonfused. Did he like you back? What was with these sentences? Why couldn't he give you a proper reply? You were left here with questions with no answers.
You brutally let go of the embrace and close your eyes to calm you down.
"My Lord. I need an answer from you. Do you share my feelings or not?"
He took times to answer, thinking about it. If what you described earlier was what make you like someone, then he supposed he did? Because he also wanted to be with you always. He knew he wouldn't handle you being away from him.
"Y-Yes..." he said in a calm tone.
Your eyes widened. Did he just say... yes? Butterflies started dancing in your belly, and your ears were buzzing, your heart was beating faster and faster.
"Y-You do? You really do?" was all you could say for now, not moving a bit.
He was looking straight into your eyes and just nodded. After a moment of staring into each other's eyes he slowly took your hands into his.
"Can you... do it again?"
"What?"
"Kiss me."
The new event is so fun, I enjoy every Scara crumbs I can have!!!!! And the cutscene? Him fighting is so hot for some reason, oh my lord have mercy.
