✧ Author's Notes | You guys seemed to enjoy "You Again?" so here's another Scaramouche x Reader (I probably won't stop writing about them anytime soon so I think I should make a Masterlist...)

"Another day for daily commissions Oh gee I am soooo excited!" I sarcastically say as I yawn and teleport my way to Tatarasuna. The commission wasn't that hard, just blow away the electro fog. fight some enemies. and done. To be honest, I'm just bored...and tired.

As I stretch and yawn, I spot a familiar red glow in the corner of me eye. "Chest." I immediately thought as I tried to get to that chest as fast as possible because I might forget about it and if I forget about it, I WOULD HAVE NO FREEMOS!!!.

"God, sometimes I hate this place!" I curse as I climb up and cross the broken bridge foundations only to bump into a...Fatui camp. Just great.

"This is fine. My team won't die on me...right?" Oh how wrong I was. You seem my team comp consists of Ayato, Chongyun, Kazuha and Kokomi which is a Swirl-Freeze comp. And being surrounded by electro does not put me in an advantage...especially with the fact there is a Mirror Maiden here.

By the time I finished clearing out this Fatui comp, I had lost sight of the chest so I had to roam around again...which isn't a bad thing since I could look for more chests but I had already gotten through most of them sadly.

I stop by an area to rest and heal up by summoning Kokomi's jellyfish but I got interrupted by another Fatui camp. "How many of these are here!?!?" I exclaim as I did my usual routine of rounding them up and freezing them. What I didn't account for was the fact this battle was WAYYYY high up in the air and near the edge!

I was panicking as I am running out of stamina so gliding won't save me. I could just plunge down but with how far I am, I won't be able to make it. I try to think of other options but I'm surrounded with no stamina and low HP. "I'm screwed aren't I..."

I prepare for my fate and close my eyes only to see a flash of purple lightning and a familiar face show up. "Scara...? What the hell are you doing here?" I ask. "Less talking, more fighting." With a flash of electro from his catalyst, he knocks them down but they brought back-up.

"Change of plans. On the count of 3...we jump." Scaramouche said as we were literally getting backed over onto the edge.

"One..." "Wait, WHAT!?!?" "Two..." "I have no stamina!" "Three!"

He shoves me off the edge and jumps right after me, opening his glider and carrying me bridal style. "Catch us if you can suckers! HAHAHA!!!" He cackles. "Wow...my hero!" I dramatically say. "I am literally a criminal." He stated. "Doesn't change the fact that I love you hehe." I say with a sly smile. "I am so tempted to drop you off right now." "PLEASE DON'T!!!" "I was just joking! ...sorta." "SORTA!?!?"

He drops down onto a safe place away from the camps so we can rest. "First of all. What were you thinking!? Your team isn't suited for this environment! And there are Fatui Camps everywhere!" Scaramouche exclaims. "I was doing a commission and then I spotted a chest and I wanted to go get it! What are you even doing here?" I ask. "I had to take care of some...unfinished business." He explains.

"In a place surrounded by Fatui camps while you are trying to run away from them?" I stated. "It's personal. So it's none of you business." He stated. "Fair enough." I say. He sighs, "Let's get out of here while we can, lest we be spotted again." He says as he was about to leave.

I summon Kokomi's jellyfish. "What are you doing?" He asks. "Healing us, those Fatui surprisingly had high HP." I explained. "Tch. I don't need it." He says. "Suit yourself."
