"A puppet?" || Scaramouche X Reader

✧Disguise✧

As Scaramouche made his way past the door someone interrupted him, causing him to stop
"Please accept my apologies for stating this, but if you're planning on staying looking like this, the millelith guards and that unusual fellow are going to find and hunt you down in no time."
Childe uttered while avoiding his colleague's deadly glare

"As If I'd need to disguise myself to flee from these worthless insects"
Scaramouche spoke while simultaneously crossing both his arms. Childe shifted his gaze to you, continuing
"I am not only talking about you but her as well"
Scaramouche turned to look to the ceiling, showing pure disinterest in what Childe had to say
"In light of all that has transpired so far, I don't believe that playing one single time save will harm you"
The ginger-haired male spoke
in an effort to get the indigo-haired man's attention. And so it did
"I suppose the following task can wait a bit."
Scaramouche spoke, looking back at childe who now had a satisfied smile planted on his face
"Follow me"

As he led both you and Scaramouche through the never-ending hallway Childe stopped in front of a huge door. He put his hand on the doorknob before looking back at the two of you and proudly speaking
"I trust that the two of you will find something to your liking here"

He then opened the door, a bright source of light coming out of it like some kind of treasure chest. The within was filled with an extensive collection of clothing, the majority of which did not resemble anything a local snezhnayan would wear.
The astounding sight left you speechless, though other than you
Scaramouches face remained emotionless
"Alright, I fear I won't be helpful any longer, so this is goodbye for the time being"
Childe spoke, with his usual soft smile
"Finally."
The ginger let out a small laugh after hearing his colleagues' response.
Giving you a quick wave he turned to exit the scene to continue his unfinished work, though before doing so, he turned to face Scaramouche.

He then leaned over to whisper something into his ear. Seconds later Scaramouches face darkened. His usual unbothered expression turned into one filled with rage. As if nothing had happened Childe moved back and continued walking, though stopped after a few steps
"Oh, I almost forgot"
He spoke as he threw something Scaramouche's way.
It was a letter.
As you were about to eye it closer Scaramouche stuffed it into his pocket with a hateful look on his face.

"Alright, you have ten minutes to go and look for something appropriate to wear"
Your face widened
"J-just five minutes-"
"Time has already begun."

You gave up on fighting against his words and instead began rushing around the room searching for something to your liking.
To your luck, you found something as soon as you began, and without a second thought on your mind, you rushed to the dressing room to try it on.

The dress fit like it was made for you. The fabric was much lighter and more comfortable to wear than your usual uniform.
As you were making your way out of the dressing room you felt yourself grow speechless. Inches before you stood Scaramouche he looked straight into your E/C eyes and spoke
"You done?"
"Uh- yeah!"
You stuttered, feeling how flushed your face grew. His indigo eyes normally used to give you the creeps since they appeared to be capable of killing you with a single blink, but this time you found it difficult to tear your gaze away from them. As you managed to do so you noticed something even more unusual
"Your uniform…"

A/N: I couldn't decide...

"I figured I might as well try it on since you took so long"
A smile formed on your face though you tried to hide it. Seeing him wear such different clothing was unusual but in a good way.

Scaramouche pov:
As both I and Y/N made our way towards the entrance I took out the letter Childe had given me. Not even  a quick glance was required to know from whom it was from.

Dear Balladeer,

I hope our brief exchange from back then hasn't slipped your mind. To be really honest, it hurts to say that I'll need to mess with some more mechanisms of Y/N's body, or who knows what will happen to her.
After all, you wouldn't want her to get hurt, right?
You know one time when I was walking around Mondstadt I heard a woman say
"One move can tell more than hundreds of words"
And I really do believe that's the case if you look back on your actions from our previous conversation.
The look in your eyes really did tell me more than a hundred words.
Though one sentence stuck out the most, and It repeated itself hundreds of times in my head

"Don't you dare touch her again."

Whether the saying is true or not, I in all seriousness don't care.
To get back to the matter at hand. I want to see you, not only to fix Y/N but also because I believe that the two of us started off on the wrong foot.

You're sincere.
Dottore

A/N:
Sry that I haven't uploaded anything in a while. I kinda lost interest in genshin at the moment but so hope that that didn't affect the chapter in any way.
As always, see you next time!!
