Chapter 14 [Caught]

Scaramouche

"Agh! I fucking knew it! I caught you! I was right all along! The tent sex, everything, I had it all right!"

You

*Sigh*

Childe

"I told you this would happen."

-A FEW MINUTES LATER-

Scaramouche entered the room with a large box that was filled with bandages that he had acquired nearby. Childe cared for your wound as thoroughly as he could, bandaging it with a fresh, clean bandage that wasn't soaked in blood this time.

Childe

"Aaand... There we go! How does it feel?"

You

"A lot better. Thanks."

Scaramouche

"What else did you two do when I was gone..."

Scaramouche cast a suspicious gaze towards the two of you, focusing more on Childe than on you.

Childe

*Sigh* "Scara, we kissed, cried, and laughed. And talked. And breathed. Is that what you wanna hear?"

Scaramouche

"Mhm... Sure..."

Childe

"I'm not stupid. Y/N's injury is bad, and I wouldn't dare to do something as cruel as fuck an injured person."

Scaramouche

"Wow!"

You

"Scaramouche, what was the fatui work you had to do?"

You said, instantly changing the subject.

Scaramouche

"... Huh?"

Childe

"Oh... About that-"

Scaramouche

"What? What fatui work?"

You

*Sigh* "More lies."

Childe

"Okaaay... I had to! Or else- Well, you know what would've happened!"

Scaramouche

"Hey! I don't get it! What lies?! What fatui work?!"

You

"It was all part of Childe's plan."

Childe

"Right... What actually happened was... We got into a fight and-"

Scaramouche

"No! Stop talking!"

Childe

"Oh? Are you embarrassed?"
