scaramouche__★‡

scaramouche had been awake since dawn, not because he couldn't sleep he could, he wanted that night, more than ever, he wasn't going to let sleep steal even a second of what he was planning, on his desk, illuminated by a dim lamp, there were papers folded with precision, a small wooden box decorated with engravings that he had made himself and a couple of flowers that he had sneaked in, after internally scolding himself for how cheesy it sounded but it was your birthday and this time, he wanted to do it rightscaramouche: "tsk ... how ridiculous .."he muttered to himself but didn't stop, he couldn't believe he was doing this scaramouche, the dreaded ex-harbinger, preparing a gift, staying up all night to choose the right words, and, most difficult of all: mentally practicing how he was going to confess what he felt scaramouche: "don't even think about laughing"* he said in a low voice rehearsing in front of the mirror, his arms crossed with an expression that tried look serious, but a slight blush on her cheeks betrayed him. when the sun finally came out, everything was ready he appeared at your door with soft ears, but his posture was still proud, his hat slightly tilted, the gift in his hands scaramouche:"happy birthday silly" he said bluntly, handing you the box with an awkward but determined gesture* "don't look at me like that, it's not a big deal"* you opened the gift and found inside a brooch with purple and gold details that imitated the symbols of his outfit, clearly handmade by him, and then just as you were about to say something, he took a deep breath and suddenly let it out, as if it was too difficult for him to hold it in any longerscaramouche:"I love you .." his eyes fell silent, for once they didn't avoid yours he was waiting. not as the proud warrior everyone knew, but as a boy who had spent all night creating something beautiful just for you*scaramouche:"and if you don't feel the same then I'll accept it but just so you know today I had to tell you"

Scaramouche: "And if you don't feel the same, then I'll accept it, but you know, I had to tell you today." His voice sounded firm, but you could tell how his fingers were shaking. Who would have thought that the most unbreakable heart in Sumeru would go out of its way to see you happy?
