#Ignore the change from reffing to the reader as s/o to 'you' midway im too tired to change it akjsdnas

I, personally, believe that Scaramouche would be (yes rough in bed) but also in someways gentle.

Hest not used to affection and love and all of that, I'm assuming, but when he first finds it in his s/o, he would do everything in his power to not lose it. Even though he seems in denial and very defensive about it.

I've seen a lot of nsfw stories on Scaramouche being, almost mean in bed. But I believe he'd really try his best to be gentle and give his s/o the pleasure they want, and not just his own pleasures. Yes, he'd get cocky af. But not in anyway to piss of his s/o.

My brain is busted and for some reason is fixated heavily on the fluff part in comparison to the h word part I––

oOh Imo, I think Scaramouche could actually be either be rougher or softer depending on stuff, but I totally agree that Scara is deffo capable of being gentle with his s/o who he feels love and affection for. It's very possible for Scara to get addicted to the warmth that blooms in his chest whenever his s/o shows him the care and love hadn't had much of. And it's strange and foreign to him, but he find that he ––Oddly–– wants to reciprocate in his s/o's soft gestures and sweet love, too.

He might not admit it to you aloud, but you can see the extra effort he's making into being kind to you when his brow furrows with concentration as he tries to kiss you softly, when his hands (as clumsy as they may be in this moment) try their best to be gentle when they grasp your hips and rub soothing circles into your skin.

Scaramouche may deny it when you ask if he had specifically passed by the restaurant you liked, even though it was out of his way and he was probably tired, but you know the truth. I don't think Scara is in-touch with his feelings enough to be able to say this stuff outright, I guess. He can't make grand gestures of affection or announce his love from you from the tops of the hills, but that's okay–– you never doubt his love for you anyway.

You can see how much he cares for you in the small things that he denies has any significance. There's the simple yet pretty jewelry he had bought you when he had to leave for Sumeru, though he said you didn't have to wear it if you don't want to (when you asked him to help you put it on, he definitely wasn't smiling to himself) there's also the way that he always makes sure that there's food that you like around the house–– he never lets your stash run dry, and if it ever does, he conveniently has to run an errand out near the market, anyway, so he might as well buy you some. The softest moments occur late at night though, when you're curled up in the sheets and it's merely the light of the moon left to illuminate your bedroom. Those are the moments when Scara basks in the easy tranquility the most. It's when he doesnt hesitate to wrap his arms around you and pull you back into his chest. He doesn't fear rejection when he buries his face in your neck and breathes in your scent, nor when he feels your hands come up to rest over his own. The only thing he feels in those moments are the overwhelming love he has for you, threatening to bubble over the rim of his heart and spill out. These times are when the 'I love you's come easiest for him, and when his heart beats the fastest when you say 'I love you too.'
