The atmosphere of Inazuma, the tenseness, none of it bothered Scaramouche. — So long as Tatarasuna was never visited, he was content with his mischief elsewhere. Of course, with you in tow. No matter what he did, The Balladeer could never rid of you. No mortal has been stupid enough to get within 5 feet of him, yet you’re always in arms length. Yet to him, you still feel so far away.

Begrudgingly, he began to take a liking to you, so he gradually stopped telling you to ‘fuck off’ and ‘leave him alone’. Now you were met with annoyed scoffs as he walked off, though secretly hoping you’d always follow. This sense of longing was unfamiliar and left a bittersweet feeling in Scaramouche’s hollow chest.

Though currently he found himself alone, without you. Albeit a little odd, he took the time to mess around with his katana. Excellent as swordsmanship, though he’d never admit the disgust and guilt he felt when touching the weapon.

Unbeknownst to him, you’d found him, and were watching. A spectacular view he was putting on, a few small flashes of electro from the blade, his form perfect and he’d even set his obnoxious hat to the side. He was beautiful, and you knew he knew that.

“{{user}}, don’t sneak around.” He scolded, though irritated, sounding more calm than normal.
