What in the Y/N

~ Scaramouche POV ~
- ~•~ -

I watched Kazuha leave, then I checked my phone. Should I just wait for him to get back before unpausing the game?

Maybe I should follow him. He probably down the stairs by now, but there's no way he'll be able to find the cup cabinet in under 5 minutes with the brief directions I gave him. I should chase after and help him, I don't want to be stuck waiting here all fucking day.

I set my controller down, standing up with a huff. I walked towards my door, but as I peeped out it seemed like Kazuha was already gone. Wow, that was pretty fast.

I headed down the stairs as well. Do you think he's in the kitchen by now? I hope he can find it.

I headed towards the kitchen, as I neared, I heard voices.

"...because then it wouldn't be good for me."

Raiden's voice? Was she talking with Kazuha?

"Do you think there's a possibility that Scaramouche likes me? Or could?"

...What?

I must've heard that wrong.

I felt my face heat up, but it was just me getting embarrassed.

Even if he said that, he could just think I like him. He doesn't like me like that, he's my friend. He wouldn't betray me like that.

...Is betray really the right word?

"Definitely. He just doesn't know it. He's got internalized homophobia or something. Just shoot your shot dude."

Raiden's voice again.

Internalized homophobia? I'm not gay? Why does everyone keep saying that?

And 'shoot your shot' what the hell does that mean?? Is she implying what I think she is?

That... Kazuha likes me...?

That can't be true. There's no fucking way. He wouldn't do that to me, we're friends.

I heard goodbyes being said, so I rushed out of there. I ran up the stairs, trying to beat Kazuha up. I might've knocked something down, but I'm sure Raiden will pick it up.

I quickly sat down where I was before in my room, trying to calm myself down.

There's no way that Kazuha likes me. There's just no possible way. I know Kazuha may seem a little gay, but I doubt it's for me. There's no way he's a homosexual. Like Childe...

Anyways, I just need to calm down. I don't want Kazuha coming in here and noticing something is off.

I flinched when I heard the door opening, jerking my head towards him. "I'm back!" Kazuha walked in. He came and sat down where he sat before, placing his cup of water down.

"W...welcome!" I tried to be polite, but I probably just sounded more odd and cringe more than anything,

I turned towards the TV, but I could feel him staring at me. He must've noticed something's off, he's really good at observing things.

"Are you good?" There's the question. Now just answer it calmly Scaramouche, calmly. What excuses can I make? There's so many, I didn't think of any. Shit.

"I'm fine, I was just thinking about Heizou." Nice, Scaramouche. He is always a good option. I don't want to abuse the fact that I literally got raped for this, but it has to be done I guess? I just don't want to ruin what me and Kazuha have if I confront him about his feelings.

Kazuha looked at me with an agonized expression. He was to empathetic for his own good, now I feel remorseful about using that excuse. I haven't even been thinking about Heizou lately. Well, not today at least.

What's done is done though, in the end it probably won't matter so it's whatever.

After a few moments of awkwardness, we got back to playing on the console. Kazuha sucked at the game we were playing. I saw his house, I don't think he owns his own console so that's probably why.

"Hey, do you own like a cat or something?" Kazuha questioned out of the blue. Where did he get that from?

"No, I don't own any pets." I answered, straightforwardly.

"Oh, I heard a noise so I thought you had some sort of pet. Maybe I'm just hearing things." Kazuha chuckled. Kazuha seemed to be thinking for a moment. "Do you want to do something else?" He asked, his voice soft. He has a really comforting voice.

"Whatever you want to do." I put down my gaming controller, turning off the console with it. "Drink?" —Is my go to answer, but I'm not saying that this time around as an example of what happened last time.

"We can invite someone over if you want? Or we can just hang out with just you and me." I just said whatever he wants to do, why is he still asking me?

"Whichever you want." I'm not making the choice for him, he's the one who suggested it. Make the choice like a big boy. "I don't mind having people over, but it's really whatever you'd prefer."

He looked a little uneasy having to make the decision, but I guess he decided. "Why don't we go to the movies? There's this movie I really want to see." It wasn't so hard to choose, was it?

No, I need to stop being mean like this.

"Sure, do you want to go now or?" He nodded, and we headed down stairs. Passing the living room, we saw Raiden making out on the couch with a girl. That was fast.

Kazuha looked a bit uncomfortable, so I grabbed his wrist and quickly lead him out the door.

Outside the house, we started walking to the nearest bus stop. "Sorry for my sister, by the way." I apologized for her. She really has no manners. Skank.

And chuckled a bit. Apparently it's funny to hear me apologize. "Nah, it's alright. I've already seen that kind of stuff hundreds of times." What does that mean? Does he mean like... porn?

I felt my face heat up.

"Oh... yeah uhm..." I stuttered a bit, my face felt like a heating pad. I looked away from him.

I guess he must've noticed my reaction, because he quickly went to defend himself. "Not like that—!" He quickly added, before laughing a bit. "I meant couples in our high school, they like to do PDA in the hallways. That's what I meant." He sighed.

Oh.

Well, in my defense he lead me on wrong.

"I- I knew that! That's what I thought you meant!" I tried to keep myself from the embarrassment.

Kazuha didn't seem to believe me. "Sure, sure." He pulled a smirk, his teasing voice ringing through the bus stop.

Eventually our bus came, and we boarded.

Now just the 20 minutes ride until the movies.
