You

"Scaramouche, I'm cold."

Scaramouche

"And? What do you want me to do about it, we're in Snezhnaya. Get used to it."

You

"You don't have blankets or anything that could keep someone warm here?"

Scaramouche

"Oh no, I have a jacket, but it's for me, obviously."

He teased. You struggled to raise your head, and then you supported your upper body weight with your forearms. You took a look at Scaramouche.

You

"It's fine, I wouldn't want to be walking around wearing that hideous jacket anyway."

Scaramouche

"Oh? Well, you're not walking around at all, you'll be trapped up here for the rest of your life until you start spilling what you know."

You

"So... If I tell you one thing that I know about this stupid organization, will you get me a blanket to keep myself warm?"

Scaramouche

"Sure. I'll get you a blanket."

You

"You swear on it?"

Scaramouche

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just tell me already."

You

"Even if what I'm about to tell you isn't that major?"

Scaramouche

"I could care less. As long as I get some things out of you, I won't be punished, and it's a win-win for both of us."

You

"Alright. I know that you have the Electro Archon's gnosis."

Scaramouche

"... Expected. She probably told you about that too. I don't exactly have it as of now."

You

"... Really? What happened?"

Scaramouche

"No. I'm not gonna get into detail about that. Now- I'll go get you a blanket. Happy?"

You

"Mhm."

You nodded, watching him unlock the countless amount of locks on the room's door.

Scaramouche

"Don't try to do anything while I'm gone."

Scaramouche took no time at all and was back in your room before you knew it. When he returned, he secured all of the door's locks.

Scaramouche

"Here. It's mine, but I haven't used it since I ran away."

He threw it in your face and sat down again.

You

"This blanket smells nice."

Scaramouche

"Ew, creepy."

You

"Yeah well I can't really breathe here, so I'm just inhaling the scent of the blanket. Do you mind actually spreading it for me?"

Scaramouche

"Yeah, I do mind, actually. You're making me do too much for you."

You

"Isn't that your job though? You were told to care for me, no?"

Scaramouche

"... Well, something like that."

You

"Exactly. So, I think that I'd very much appreciate it if you at least spread the blanket for me."

You said with a muffled voice, your face still hidden under the blanket.

Scaramouche sighed and unfolded the blanket by grabbing the two ends. He swung it around a little before draping it over your body.

Scaramouche

"Is that better now?"

He asked, with attitude.

You

"Yes. Thank you."

-TWO DAYS LATER, FATUI HEADQUARTERS-

You've been missing for a week now, yet... 

You could care less. 

The life you had locked up at the fatui headquarters was far more intriguing than the monotonous life you spent in Inazuma which says a lot.

.

Scaramouche

"Hey."

You

"..."

You were sleeping again; this was your seventh nap on day two of being locked up.

Scaramouche

"Y/N. Wake up."

He got up from his chair and began poking you in the face to wake you up.

You

"Zzz..."

Scaramouche

"Oh my-"

He eventually lost patience and kicked the rolling table. It smashed against the wall, almost tipping over to the other side while you were still on top of it.

Scaramouche

"I told you to wake up."

You

"Damn! You could've woken me up in a more peaceful way at least..."

Scaramouche

"Yeah- I already tried that."

You

"Aww, man... Now the blanket's on the floor."

Scaramouche

"It's been seven days."

You

"... Yeah, I know."

Scaramouche

"And you haven't eaten anything. How are you alive right now?"

You

"Ooh... I was sleeping so much that I forgot about food. Yeah, could you get me something to eat?"

Scaramouche

"Hm... I don't know, could I?"

You

"Well now that you've switched the topic onto food, I'm hungry. So yes, you could get me food."

Scaramouche

"Tsk. Making me do all this work..."

You

"Oh, oh, and before you leave, could you put the blanket back on me? I'm cold again."

Scaramouche

*Sigh* "... Fine."

Something about Scaramouche struck you as strange. Normally, he'd argue that he'd never put it back on you in a million years, but he appeared too fatigued to do so and just did as you requested, then left.

It didn't take him long to return, maybe five minutes or so.

You

"Wow! You brought water too?! How kind could you be!"

Scaramouche

"Shut up. This water's for me."

You

"Oh, man... And I thought that you were finally starting to warm up to me."

Scaramouche

"I don't warm up to anyone. This was the only edible thing I could find that I had access to, so just deal with it."

You

"... That's totally fine with me. Just as long as I get to eat something."

He was carrying a cup of hot, ready-to-eat instant noodles. He set it on the edge of the rolling table where your body wasn't, then began chugging his plastic bottle of water.

He drank half of the bottle before lowering it from his lips, groaning as he wiped the water from the corner of his mouth.

You

"..."

Scaramouche

"..."

You kept looking at the instant noodles, then back at Scaramouche, trying to get his attention.

You

"..."

Scaramouche

"..."

You

"...!"

Scaramouche

"..."

You

"...!!!"

Scaramouche

"Okay- What?! Stop looking at me like that, you look like a doll!"

You

"Pfft... I don't wanna hear that from someone who's actually a doll."

Scaramouche gasped dramatically, staring at you as he did.

Scaramouche

"I know damn well you did not just-"

You

"Okay, I get it... Not funny. Now, moving on..."

Scaramouche

"Moving on?..."

You

"Tsk- Do you really not get it?!"

Scaramouche

"Yeah, no. I don't get what you're trying to say. Just say it already."

You

"No! It's awkward!"

Scaramouche

"What? Do you want the rest of my water?"

You

"Well- Yeah, but that's not what I was going to say."

Scaramouche

"First of all, just say it. Second of all, I wasn't planning to give you my water anyways."

You

"How cruel. Are you just going to make me starve to death or die of thirst?... Which one do you think will come first?"

Scaramouche

"Hm... You'd probably die of thirst, and I'll laugh at you."

You

"Wooow, Scaramouche. You won't be laughing when the Fatui start punishing you."

Scaramouche

"... Okay, okay, I'll give you the rest of my water, just chill with these very... Backhanded jokes."

He placed the bottle of water, like the instant noodles, on the rolling table's edge. He was still not getting the hint.

You

"..."

Scaramouche

"Oh my- And now you're doing it again!"

You

"Doing what?!"

Scaramouche

"Giving me that look!"

You

"You're not getting the hint!"

Scaramouche

"Literally just tell me what you want to say!"

You

"Oh my god..."

You said, annoyed.

You

"I can't..."
