Breakdowns and Tea Time {Scaramouche x Autistic Reader}

Chapter 2: Uninformed, not inattentive.

Summary:

Ei orders, but someone's left uninformed.
Miko knows but wants to see what happens. {Sly fox?}
Scara's mind melts, someone sees.

Notes:

Hiii~ Zara here once again! I know the writing of the first chapter was a bit odd and undescriptive, but hopefully, once I get into the flow of things it should get better. This also means I will be updating already-written chapters probably quite often so keep your eyes open for that. This is my first work so if updates are slow[T-T], forgive me. Per the usual, you will be able to tell this chapter is actually finished when the end notes are added. [Minus minor updates as previously stated]

Also as I have annoyingly found out, Wattpad does not allow Ig? words that are crossed out, which means, it is much more difficult to get things across the way I'd like them. So due to this, any sentences, internal dialogue or otherwise that is meant to have a line through it for story telling purposes, will now be within these: "[ ]". If you wish to read it the way its originally written, you can check it out by the same name on ao3, thank you for your understanding, and have a good day. -Z

With that out of the way, on to the story Darlings!

"He's crying Ei, this is what got you in this mess in the first place." She sighed for probably the fifth time that night. With Kuni, it always seemed like a lot of sighing was going on.

She had stopped upon hearing his badly muffled screams and then sobbing. Turning, she approached the door and reached for the knob, but stopped right before her hand touched the gilded wood. She let it fall limp. What could she do to help? She never was the kind one out of the two when Makoto was there. "Why is it always the tears." Dropping her head and leaning against the engraving, she whispered.

"I'm sorry Kuni, I can't help you, but maybe I can spare your pride."

He would never hear those words, but her decision to "spare his pride" would change him. Or rather, indirectly help him in the very way she couldn't.

Our tale continues

To save the maids from his wrath during said breakdowns, his room is off-limits to all staff whenever he has one. [Reader] a maid in the royal castle, is not informed of this. The other maids look down on her and "make fun" by sending her to the Prince's quarters while his room is off limits in hopes to get her fired.

Ei meets Miko outside the door of the private dining room she just left.　

"Is he alright?" She questions. Ei hesitates, saving his pride also meant not telling Yae.
