a/n: part 3 of my winter special!
āIdiot.ā
A pout forms on your face.
āItās not my fault I got sick!ā
You then proceed to let out a series of coughs, each one more violent than the last. Scaramouche scowls.
āYou're an actual moron. Youāre not supposed to be talking. Save all that energy for when you can actually utter a sentence properly. You need to get better.ā
With how harsh he sounds, any onlooker wouldāve thought that this man despises you. Quite the opposite, actually. You can hear his voice soften, by a fraction.
āI swear, get better soon, otherwise I wonāt hesitate to strike you down myself.ā
When you reply with another cough, his eyes gleam, and a hand comes to stroke your head softly, allowing two of his fingers to twirl a strand of your hair. In a much more comforting tone (at least, for him), he places a bowl of soup on your lap, making sure none of it spills onto your skin.
āNow, eat this before I make you.ā
You reply with a teasing lilt.
āOkay, āWandererā, I guess if I want to get better.ā
Itās almost comical how you can see his jaw tense up at the use of his current alias, spare fist clenching at his side. He tsks.
āYou know, Iāve told you again and again, you donāt have to call me that. Call me whatever you want.ā
His voice goes down an octave, and itās fairly obvious how heās sporting a subtle pink blush on his otherwise pale cheeks. You decide not to comment on it.
The hand stroking your hair pauses, and comes down to the spoon currently sitting in the bowl of soup he had personally made for you. You know this.
What you donāt know is that it took him an hour to find the perfect recipe, the one that you said reminded you of home. You donāt know how it had taken him an hour to actually make it, displeased with each attempt, deeming each one ātoo mediocreā for your tastebuds. He had finally settled on the one currently sitting on your lap, but not without his own touch. A tiny, minuscule heart (made out of some leftover cream) settled slightly on the left, which- and heās not proud of this- made his own race a bit faster. Heās not really sure why he added it, but heās sure that itād make you feel better. Oh well, he reasons, he doesnāt mind getting a bit romantic, as long as youāre happy.
Scaramouche may not want to admit it to himself, but thereās a tingly feeling in his chest, one that stings whenever he sees your stuffy nose and clammy hands. Itās that same tingly feeling heās now experiencing, when heās demanding you to eat your soup. Itās that same tingly feeling when he sees the little cream heart decorating the bland food. Scaramouche may not want to admit that what he feels is love.
āOpen up.ā
You look at him- shocked. He stares back- deadpan.
āDid I stutter?ā
With a very flustered expression on your face, you take the spoon from him. He continues staring at you, patiently waiting. In only a few minutes the soup is gone. Even though youāve finished the entire thing, he still frowns. However, youāve been with him long enough to know this frown is the one reserved only for you. His eyes are caressing, gentle, caring, even though his mouth is turned down. Itās not turned down that much, either. Itās bordering on one of his quiet smiles when he thinks you arenāt looking.
Scaramouche sighs. He still hasnāt noticed how fond he sounds. He still hasnāt noticed how much adoration he carries for you.
āDo you need anything else?ā
You shake your head, smiling up at him. He has to resist smiling back. There it is again, that tingling in his chest. How peculiar, itās warm, so unfamiliar, yet so familial. He doesnāt think he wants it to go away.
He plants a gentle kiss on your forehead. He lets it linger for a few seconds. Then, turning away, Scaramouche gets up to head out and clean the now-empty bowl, and spoon. Your voice stops him just as he gets to the door, making his head turn immediately, eyes full of concern.
āLove you, āWandererā.ā
His grip on the bowl tightens, and his breath hitches.
ā... Idiot.ā

šššyeah scaramouche has breached the top 10 like I canāt keep seeing these edits and tan art of him in so much anguish and then looking hot saying shit like ā thatās okay, because Iāll make you dumber and dumber until the only thing you can scream is my nameā HELLO??? This is a targeted attack on ME personally bc all the hot cosplayers are doing scaramouche thirst traps šand my poor heart canāt take being torn in two directions š like on one hand heās so emotionally stunted and mean that my absolute lack of being serious in any situation would catch him off guard. Like yeah your yelling and ranting about how the other harbingers are stupid but if I kiss you until you canāt breathe and say you look hot what thenš¤Øš¤like he can try and be all yandere but once again Iām gon be into it idk what to tell him! Like Iām mean right back to and Iāll alphabetically list out his mommy issues while not even looking up from what Iām doingšheās also feels like the type to silently but sĆŗper loudly beg for attention all day āI canāt believe how cold this bed feels right nowššššā like the type to grab your hand and drag you places bc he wants to hold your hand but he canāt let anyone see that he needs human affection š I am all here for spoiled brat scara era like you canāt convince me that he wouldnāt in eiās room like right after snatching up the gnosis ( nothing but respect for MY electro archonš„°) and fuck you on whatever throne she has in there, in every surface possible bet if he had planned this before hand he would have found a way to do it on the ceiling too. Oh and heās making sure everyone hears it, itās usually raining and thundering? Yeah itās dead quiet everyone is nervous they did something to piss the shogun off bc only the wind in the trees is what they can hear. Rip to whoever lives near that tho bc they hear nothing but the most desperate melodic screams coming from there and skin hitting skin like Rest In Peace fr bc for the next 12 hours thatās their life. Ruler of eternity bc thatās how long heās gunna fuck youšš there is definitely no mistake of whatās happening when they just hear screams of his name. Like heās such a petty ā lmao if your a clown Iām the ringmasterā type bitch he wouldnāt care she can hear that shit from inside of her shogun puppet. If your lucky the gods might even bestow a vision in you for enduring thatš who knows could be an electro oneš as an āim so sorry you canāt walk anymoreā but honestly I would let him, he and Venti are in the same spectrum but heās the opposite he can āheh patheticā his way into someoneās pants like childe but less straightforward post redemption arc heās still the same but heās traveling around teyvat for the perfect places to fuck you ināŗļø like oh this little hidden cave in Liyue looks fine Lmao bc Xiao shows up ready to join in but he talks about it like heās touring houses ā I think this cave would make your voice bounce off the walls nicelyā SHUT UP!!!
not top ten.... come on,,,, we are better than this.... I KNOW WE ARE.
... i deeply enjoy the scara angsty fanart tho,,,, like i cried during that one specific cutscene of the archon quest and after that all of his angst just hit ten times better kekeke
OKAY BUT HEAR ME OUT. him being emotionally stunted and mean MAKES him more appealing?! im sorry that i enjoy a yandere psycho! but youre so right like his desperation for any affection really does dent my yandere!scara agenda bc at the end of the day he will do everything to please you and make you happy bc he never wants you to leave him HAHAHAH like you touch him without warning him and he'll literally turn red in the face and explode,,,, SEE HE IS SO DIFFICULT like i can never pick between cute scara or psycho scara T T
omg this headcannon of archon!scara i- every time you fuck him there would be dangerous thunderstorms LOLLLLLL it's like everyone in inazuma is rolling their eyes and cursing him whenever lightening strikes and thunder claps throughout the air hehehe
0h- i feel like if you got a vision after fucking scara he would pin it to you like a badge of honor.... that would be a physical reminder proving exactly what you are to him.... his toy... his heart... idk- i truly cant decide between making him sappy or mean-
if im fucking scara in a cave and xiao shows up.... that little puppet is getting tossed aside like im kicking his ass out and fucking xiao instead like- THAT is the ONLY option
