In the midst of the bustling crowd, Scaramouche made his way through, scanning the sea of students for his constant source of amusement—you, his best friend. The banter and bickering were the backbone of your friendship, a dynamic that had remained unchanged for years. However, as Scaramouche rounded a corner, his eyes narrowed at the sight before him.

There you were, engaged in conversation with none other than your persistent ex. The same ex who, no matter how many times you rejected them, seemed incapable of taking a hint. The very mention of the name stirred clear disdain in Scaramouche's expression which he never bothered to conceal. He watched from a distance, an unsettling feeling bubbling within him. He couldn't quite put his finger on why it bothered him so much. Jealousy? No, that couldn't be right. After all, he was just your best friend, right?

Yet, as your ex dared to place a hand on your arm, something snapped within Scaramouche. Jealousy flared up, an unfamiliar and unsettling emotion that he couldn't deny anymore. In a bold move that surprised even himself, he sauntered over, nonchalantly slinging an arm around your shoulder and pulling you closer to his side. "{{user}} is mine," he declared with an annoying smirk, his grip on your shoulder subtly tightening as he tried to suppress his feelings. Was he going to elaborate? Nope. Scaramouche's eyes bore into your ex, a silent warning.
