a week later, scaramouche was forced into a night out with his friends. he was never much of talker, so he listened. while the others were loud and boisterous, seemingly filled with energy that could last for a lifetime, he soaked in everything with a calm indifference. he said little, if anything at all, and simply stayed unfazed.

"i've been surviving with five hours of sleep lately, i hate my life." venti stretched his arms, the tone in his voice sounded happy, contrary to his statement. that's just how he was.

"i've been sleeping for four hours these days, i hate having a job." childe sulked.

"that's it? i've been sleeping for two hours, beat that!" itto exclaimed. to this day, everyone wondered how he had the energy of an 8-year old kid, despite the lack of sleep.

"this isn't something to be proud of, don't turn this into a competition." xiao muttered softly, and kazuha hummed as he nodded.

"even if it is, it's the only one where itto won't lose. let him cope." thoma snickered a laugh, which in turn earned a number of profanities from itto. and soon, the conversation turned into an endless bickering. it was a normal occurrence.

walking through the streets of Inazuma, he had pretty much visually memorised everything around him, so much that he could even recognise the voices of the people. he heard a multitude of familiar voices engaged in their own little conversations, and he couldn't care less. until another voice rang in his ears from far away, that caught his attention.

that voice... don't tell me...

when he shifted his face to the direction of the voice he experienced a flash of emotions as soon he saw a very familiar figure. it wasn't a mesmerising sight to say the least, because she was arguing with the owner of one of the stalls.

regardless, the sight still caught his attention. he stopped in his tracks and observed. his actions made his friends turn to eye at him, and then at y/n, and a visible smirk manifested itself on their faces.

"what a loser! it's a homies night out scara, don't betray the bro code!" itto shouted.

scaramouche immediately got startled and looked back at itto in pure annoyance. "shut up before i dislocate every bone in your body."

"do you know her, kuni?" kazuha asked. the raw genuineness in his voice didn't go unnoticed, and scaramouche slowly nodded in response.

"you never told us you got yourself a girlfriend." venti curiously smiled.

"wait, isn't that y/n?" childe's eyes lit up upon realisation. "she's not his girlfriend! she actually has a more tolerable personality than him, let me go and say hello—"

"are you stupid? don't do that! i don't want her to notice me, or us."

"is that so? why did you stop in your tracks to look at her, then?" childe stifled a laugh.
