➷a little push➷

Just like any other day in the fatui organization, y/n stared at her feet, listening to the ear full scaramouche was giving them. Why? Because they once again failed to capture the traveller.

The rest while severally beaten, y/n escaped unscathed and reported to the first superior she sees; unfortunately scaramouche, the shorty with anger issues.

Seeing as how she only had a few bruises here and there, scaramouche only yelled at her for an hour before letting her go, while holding the rest of the team back. He had not forgotten to grumpily explain his next plan on capturing the traveller.

Now free from his sight, y/n walked through the back door, outside the headquarters and into the forest.

She doesn't know why she accepted this mission in the first place. It sucked and she hated it. If y/n had known she'd be putting her life constantly on line, she wouldn't have left her previous post.

Walking into a dimly lit cave, y/n spots a braided blond hair. "Aether," she called out. "I'm back."

"I didn't get you in trouble did I?" The man immediately starts worrying, checking over the spots he had reluctantly had to hit to void y/n off suspicion.

Aether suddenly sighed. "Why did you accept this mission. Someone else could've gone instead."

"We're not sure that someone else can do a better job than me. I'm the most suited for this job." Forgetting the fact that she was complaining in her head earlier, she continued. "Besides, they treat me well." Sometimes.

Aether looked at her in disbelief, but brushed it off and received his report. He left soon after, off to Mondstadt.

Seeing his figure getting smaller and smaller, she couldn't help but think 'i've had worse before. Today is a good day.'

. . .

Today is not a good day

Why?

Right after y/n had left the forest, she came face to face with almighty lord scaramouche, the little grumpy eggplant. He was grinning ear to ear, but he obviously was not happy.

"My lord-"

"Drop the act, spy. I've always known there was something amis. Thankfully you exposed yourself first."

"Truly as water recedes, the rock appears it seems." Y/n places a hand on her sword handle. "Fatui harbinger, what do you propose now?"

He sneered, "whatever it is you want!"

In half a breath, a flash of purple lightning was sent her way. Y/n drew her sword out to block.

Before long the two had entered back into the forest, jumping over roots and rocks, avoiding and parrying the others advances.

The sky had begun to bloom a brilliant red and orange, painting the cloudless sky with tranquility, quite the opposite of what was happening below on earth where the Dirt and derbies were blown all over and the grasses were unforgivingly cut.

Y/n had begun to lose breath, but showed non of her weaknesses to the opponent.

Scaramouche was starting to worry. Y/n still stood straight in her path, giving no opening for him.

His brain had started gearing itself together again in the midst of battle.

The purple fatui charged, surprising the favonius knight and created a blinding white light for the clash of her sword and his lightning.

He flew back, jumping over a large rock and retreated.

On the other side, y/n escaped her daze in an instant and immediately blocked his attack, not long after escaping the opposite way. It was the same direction aether had gone through and led back to Mondstadt.

After returning to her hometown, she headed straight back to the quarters to report to Jean, the acting grandmaster.

The sky was already dark outside, but her office was still brightly lit.

Thankfully, y/n was let off easy. Or maybe she was just to used to being yelled at by the fatui harbingers that jean was a saint for her.

She didn't come out of her office empty handed though. Now that she was found out by one of the harbingers, they were all sure she was a sure target. In turn, she was now missioned to track scaramouche down and capture him alive or dead. It wasn't the way of the knights, but y/n's.

But y/n wasn't courting death, so she instead made a plan. Each of these plans would end with both of them in a tie.

After a few months, y/n became restless and frustrated. Why couldn't she just put her blade through his heart? The guy was a formidable opponent for sure. Maybe they were right when they said the shorter you are the closer you are to satan.

Meanwhile scaramouche was also frustrated. His higher ups had said nothing about y/n, so he took it as them allowing him to handle this all on his own and to do whatever it is he wanted. The problem was, y/n keeps escaping!

At first, he wanted to capture her. To tie her up and have her all for himself.

Now he was beginning to think he wouldn't be able to do so without killing the woman first. He didn't want that.

Sighing at his desk, he was once again stuck on trying to cut off y/n's route and ambush her, Capture her alive and bring her back to his headquarters successfully.

That was when a knock was heard from his window. He unlocked it carefully, prepared for an ambush. maybe it was y/n?

While the latter was correct, the former wasn't.

Y/n leaned against the outside wall of his office next to the window. She was bleeding from god knows where and her eyes were in unfocused and dazed.

Scaramouche couldn't help but smile. What an opportunity that came right through his door- well, window.

Y/n gave him no resistance when he picked her up and was brought in to his quite, half dark office.

The sofa was pressed down by her weight, while scaramouche tended to her wounds.

He knelt down beside her, staring at y/n's frown as she slept.

The purple haired fatui whispered, "scaramouche 1, y/n 0."

︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶༉‧₊˚.

Yurr sadist scaramouche (?)

If anyone's wondering, just imagine a balcony outside scaramouches window.

How'd y/n get there?

...anemo vision.
