Pov Scaramouche :

I saw that Y/n was about to faint, probably because of the unusual effort she had made.

I made more lightning appear, surrounding Y/n with it and making Pierro back off. I crouched down beside Y/n, careful not to electrocute her by mistake, and looked at the enforcer facing me.

I could not defeat him, not without risking Y/n's life. I might as well retreat.

We continued to stare at each other for a few more seconds, each waiting for an offensive from the other. I was the one who started the hostilities by creating a sphere of electro energy in my hand and directing it towards Pierro.

I then directed it towards Pierro's feet, burning the leaves and creating a cloud of steam.

I gently took Y/n in my arms, doing my best not to aggravate her wound, and ran away from this cursed palace and the people who were once my "comrades".

We might as well leave Snezhnaya, this area has become too dangerous for us to hide in, especially with these wounds.

I know where we could go, but... Will she agree to help us?

I ran all night, despite the fatigue and the aches of my previous fights, and stopped at dawn to rest a little in a small rocky cavity that I had spotted at the path.

Here we will be safe for a little while. Even if we are not in Snezhnaya anymore, if we stay here too long we will eventually be found. So... We have to leave tomorrow morning at the latest, even if leaving this place tonight would be the best.

I laid Y/n on the ground, slowly so as not to reopen the wound that seemed to have closed a little. A trickle of pure water ran down the wall, and fell drop by drop to the end of a stone stalagmite, forming a small pool of fresh water below it.

I drank some of it, thirsty despite the cold, and then tore off a piece of my top to soak it with water. I turned to Y/n, and looked at her peaceful face, despite the few giggles of pain that twisted her face at times.

<<Sorry... For not arriving sooner... I said as I gently approached her.>>

I passed the mound of wet cloth over her skin, careful not to compress her wounds too much as I passed over them, so as not to hurt her.

I put my hand on her cheek, and began to contemplate her face.

You shouldn't have given up your peaceful life for a scum like me...

I don't... Don't deserve you...

I gritted my teeth, disgusted with myself for seeing what my betrayal had produced, and turned my head away from this vision which offended the little sensitivity I could not hide, the rest being well buried inside me, hidden from the world and especially from the eyes of others.

Now I will protect you... I swear to you, with all the love I have for you, all the love I have never shown you and will never show you. Even if seeing you with another turns my stomach, if it can guarantee you a life far from all dangers...

Then I will make an effort to never appear in front of you again, so that you can live a quiet life...

I will only protect you from afar, if that is what you wish...

I lay down on my back next to T/p, putting my hands under my head as a pillow, and stared at the ceiling, trying to find a way to convince her to grant us residency and protection.

She won't say no if Y/n asks her, but I doubt she'll agree to protect the one who stole the electro gnosis.
Well, maybe I'm wrong and she's generous enough to accept that...?

I felt something clinging to me, and as I looked down I noticed that this something was none other than Y/n who was clinging to me.
I felt myself blush, not much but enough to make the blush visible.

I will only bring you trouble... So... Get away from me...
I don't have the strength or the desire to be the one to create distance between us...
I'm...

I turned my head away, knowing full well that if I looked at her any longer I would succumb to the urge to hug her too.

I've... Missed you...

I had to fall asleep at that thought, sinking into a sleep that I wanted to be restful.

Pov Y/n :

I woke up with a start, suddenly remembering my frantic chase with the two enforcers, and put my hand to my throat, having a vague recollection of having Pierro's gun pressed against my neck.

I... Am alive?

I stood up and saw a freshly awakened Scaramouche standing next to me, looking a little cranky...

<<Sc-Scaramouch?!" I said, widening my eyes.

-Tsk... Why are you shouting, I'm not deaf... he growled as he got up on his elbows.

-But... Why are you here? And where are we exactly?" I asked, a little panicked by the change of scenery.

Indeed, the snow had been replaced by large green plains and the stunted trees by sublime oaks that stood proudly up to the sky, their leaves bright green.

-Why are you so surprised, I saved you from certain death and took you away from Snezhnaya, don't you remember?

I had a quick flash, a blur of lightning around me and the young man's voice echoed in my head.

So you really did come to save me...
It wasn't just a dream...

-Why did you save me...?" I asked, hopeful.

Pov Scaramouche :

I can't tell her that it's because her death would sadden me.
Even if it hurts like hell, I have to make her hate me...

I turned my head away from her, unable to lie to her and look her in the eye. I had to come up with an excuse, a hurtful one if possible, to justify my act.

-I saved you... Because...>>
