this is the cutest thing iāve ever seen?? iām actually so excited to write it pls <33 also this is my first official request and reminder that my requests ARE open!!
donāt cry - scaramouche x child!reader (platonic)
warnings: angst, mentions of death
you were huddled inside the ruins of a house long neglected, knees hugged close to your chest. outside, the seemingly endless storms of yashiori island raged on, every clap of thunder causing you to flinch and shut your eyes tight. your face was still damp, from tears or rainwater you werenāt entirely sure.
your family had evacuated last week, as many families were forced to, in an attempt to escape the effects of the tatarigami. however, because of the large amount of siblings you had, they hadnāt even noticed that they had left one child behind.
you began to sob again as you started to think about it, wishing you could crawl inside your motherās arms again, that you could feel the warmth of your family instead of the rain-soaked chill that didnāt seem to go away. you didnāt understand how theyād forgotten you. didnāt they love you? maybe they did it on purpose so they would have one less mouth to feed. you felt another sob rising in your throat when a sudden voice froze you in place.
āmy, my, what do we have here?ā
you shakily looked up to see a short man standing in the tattered doorway, an ominously large hat sitting atop his head.
āw-who are you?ā you managed to ask, hugging your knees a little tighter. the man crouched down so that he was at your level and smiled.
āi am scaramouche, the sixth of the eleven fatui harbingers.ā you gave him a confused look, and he let out a little laugh. āyou can just call me scara.ā
you simply nodded in response. scaraā¦ what a strange name. he was dressed strangely, too- like some sort of prince from an inazuman fairy tale. you eyed him skeptically, not quite sure if you could trust him or not.
āwhat are you doing out here all alone?ā he asked.
you bit your lip. āmyā¦ my familyā¦ t-they left me,ā you began, but you couldnāt get anything else out before the tears returned to your eyes. in the darkness you could see scaraās expression go soft, his violet eyes changing from cold to something else, something gentle.
āyouāve been abandoned, hm?ā the man let out a sigh. āitās a terrible feeling,ā he said bitterly, and you cocked your head out of curiosity. it sounded like he was speaking from experience.
scaramouche rose to his feet and extended his hand. ācome. crying wonāt make your family come back.ā
you looked up at him and blinked, confused. āb-butā¦ where am i supposed to go..?ā you asked. the man rolled his eyes.
ājust shut up and take my hand already.ā
you hesitated. you didnāt know this man, and he was quite rudeā¦ but it wasnāt like you had anywhere else to go. biting your lip, you put your tiny hand in his, and he pulled you gently to your feet. you shuffled closer to him as the two of you stepped back out into the rain, letting his large hat serve as an umbrella. scaramouche scoffed, but said nothing, and the two of you walked away from the village you had always called home.
a/n: wow, i am SO SORRY this request took so long,, iāve been in a major slump but iāve been working on this little by littleā¦. tysm for being patient everyone! letās hope that iāll be able to write a lot more this month.
