Scaramouche (angst/fluff)

    She hissed as her arm was stitched up, closing the wound. It was necessary but it hurt like hell.

   After what felt like hours, the doctor (thankfully not Dottore) tied the thread and gave her directions to take it easy for a few days to make sure the cut healed cleanly.

    A commotion came from behind the infirmary doors, a loud voice disrupting the soothing silence that had hung in the air.

"WHERE IS SHE?!"

   The doors were violently swung open, and revealed the 6th Harbinger, The Puppeteer.

   His head swiveled around searching for someone, before his eyes caught hers.

   Marching over, his ridiculously large hat almost bounced with how heavily he was stepping.

"Scara-?"

   "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!?" He roared, furious, "GOING ON A SOLO MISSION CLEARLY TOO DANGEROUS FOR EVEN A HARBINGER?"

"Scara-!"

     "ON TOP OF THAT, YOU DIRECTLY DISOBEYED MY ORDERS NOT TO. YOU COULD HAVE DIED, AND-"

"SCARAMOUCHE."

   He abruptly shut up, his eyes wide. She rarely used that tone with anyone and never had she used it on him.

   The whole infirmary was staring at the pair, holding their breath in fear for the Harbinger as he was dragged away by his collar like an unruly kitten.

   She dragged him into an isolated supply closet that was a few halls away from the hospital, as to give the patients some peace, and slammed him, by the front of his collar, onto the closed door.

    "What the hell are you thinking?" She yelled at the surprised puppeteer, who realized he had royally screwed himself.

   "Just because you are a Harbinger does not mean you can disturb a hospital of all places to yell at me about my own health!"

    Scaramouche shrunk in on himself under her gaze, rethinking his decisions. He had never seen her this angry, she had never yelled at him, and it scared him, he didn't like being yelled at.

"I-I... But-"

   "But what?" She roared, "What could you possibly say that could justify yourself?" She glared at him, while his bottom lip trembled

"I just w-wanted to make sure you were safe..." He whispered, voice cracking between words, "I can't lose you..." A tear rolled down his face, "I-I can't... please"

   Instantly she regretted her harsh words.

   She hugged Scaramouche to herself, feeling cold tears wet her shoulder as he sobbed, whispering apologies and rubbing his back slowly with one hand as the other was in his hair, gently stroking his soft locks.

.  .  .

   After a while, he had stopped crying, and was rubbing his eyes tiredly.

   "Can we-" He was cut off by a yawn before continuing, "Can we go take a nap?"
He turned to her with sleepy eyes, which were absolutely impossible to deny.

   She smiled softly, "Of course we can Scara, just, don't yell."

   He half-heartedly glared at her before nodding, mumbling under his breath while intertwining his hand with hers and leading them to his room.

   It was beautifully decorated, however, she didn't have time to admire the architecture as he dragged her over to his bed and jumped on it, pulling her with him.

   They stared at each other for a moment before laughing quietly.

   Scara looked at her expectantly before she understood what he wanted, and opened her arms.

   An excited smile graced his lips as he wiggled between her embrace, (being mindful of her arm), and sighing in content.

    Scaramouche's skin was cool to the touch, more so than a regular human, but she didn't mind. As long as he could enjoy this little kindness, she was content as well.

   He yawned again, snuggling his head under her chin before relaxing completely.
She almost melted but held herself together as he mumbled something she couldn't quite catch.

"Hm? What was that?"

   He pulled away to look her in the eyes.

"I said I love you."

   He was blushing madly, and dug his face back under her chin to hide it, even though she was blushing as well, before she smiled and laughed gently.

"I love you too Scara."

   She felt him smile against her neck before he fell asleep, cuddling her close.

"Sleep well darling."
