Scaramunch Oneshot (Fem Reader)

Oneshot 2

Dinner's served and it's a simple meal of fried rice and veggies. He places a cup of water near your plate and sets aside a brewing pot of tea, set on low on the stove. Over time it was easy to pick up on such habits of his. Whenever he was drinking something, it was either water or something caffeinated—more so the latter than the former.

Whenever he was upset, he would cook meals he would eat during his childhood for you two, as a sort of stress reliever I guess. And he's reactive whenever something you say includes him or any other boys you know.

Just to test the water, you say to him, "You know, Ayaka was telling me the other day her brother found a nice café nearby their place. She wants to meet up sometime in person."

He barely has a reaction. Simply looking up at you with a slightly less annoyed expression. "Ok? What does that have to do with me?"

"Nothing. I was just letting you know."

"Ok."

"..Oh yeah, Ayato's going to be there too. He might bright Thoma and Thoma might bring Itto, and Itto might bring Gorou, and Gorou might bring--"

*SLAM!!*

Scaramouche slams his spoon on the table at the mention of all these men coming to the café with you.

"And why the fuck would you be hanging around all those disgusting men?" He scowls at you, looking angry. His fist clenches while you remain nonchalant on the outside, internally finding it amusing how strongly he reacts to stuff like this.

"What do you mean by 'disgusting men'? Aren't you a man, too?" You ask, taking a bite of the fried rice.

"I'm different from them."

You almost choke on the rice from his comment out of laughter. You struggle to contain yourself as you hit your chest a few times to help the food go down properly; drinking water to wash it all down.

Scaramouche's brow twitches. His arms crossed and his back leaning against the chair while his legs cross lazily.

"Hah... Did I say something funny, Y/n?"

You clear your throat, collecting yourself and cooking up an excuse to say.

"N, no, it just went down the wrong way." You take another bite and chew it more thoroughly as Scaramouche raises an eyebrow, not buying your lie.

"So, who else is going to this little tea party of yours?" He still sounded upset, but he sighs, which probably means he'll be going easier on you after seeing you choke so badly.

"We can't be sure, but maybe Venti..." Scaramouche looks unamused.
"Xiao..." His brow twitches.
"Aether..." The grip on his sleeves tighten.
"Heizou, Kazuha, and..." He looks like he's about to boil over, but is barely containing himself.

"I think Lumine. After all, it was the twins that suggested the idea."

You figured that this was enough teasing, after seeing Scaramouche so conflicted with this. Probably wondering how so many people could fit in one café and why there are barely any girls there; stressing about who may get too close to you or try to harm you.

"But if we're being honest here, it'll probably only be Thoma, the twins, and the Kamisato siblings. Everyone's busy with their own things, you know?"

Scaramouche sighs, somewhat okay with this know that the number of males have reduced.

He thinks about it for a moment or two, looking like he might regret this, but goes for it anyway, "..I'll go. Where's this stupid café?"
