i feel like it’d be his favorite way to hug you because he doesnt have to feel embarrassed coming up to you where you can see him and analyze his expressions and body language. he just gets to hug you and feel your warmth without the shame of you knowing he really wants your affection (you still know) (but at least he can pretend hes being subtle)

if youre standing anywhere near a chair, couch, or basically any flat surface fit for someone to sit on, he’ll wrap his arms around your tummy and drag you to sit down with him on his lap. like idk if im explaining this right but like if it was a couch he’d be leaning back and ur like on top of him like oh my god hold on ill just draw it ffs

maaaajor spoilers below, dont read if you dont know about scaramouche’s full lore and character arc and everything!!

i had this idea because you know how when he becomes wanderer (after losing his memories) and starts to work for that guy in the grand bazaar for free?? he HAD to have seen nilou perform before, i mean he must have right. and since he’s a completely different person from the big emo bastard scaramouche, i imagine that he would be so enchanted by her dancing that he might approach her after a show to tell her. he’s really sweet and just sort of floaty, ykyk how he was before he got his memories back. just a little guy :)

they would hit it off and stuff and maybe they’d go for a walk or something around the city or in a garden :) it would mostly be wanderer listening to nilou talk, since he cant remember anything about himself, and hes much more interested in her anyways. he finds himself really smitten anshjddhhd

i think that would probably be like their only interaction before he gets his memories back, but it was enough to spark a connection on both ends (especially since he told nilou jack shit about himself—she’s left wondering who the hell the guy with the big hat was lmao)

however, since he has now returned to being a bastard full-time, he tries to distance himself from nilou to protect her. he knows that if he saw her again and she realized he was a completely different person, he wouldn’t know what to do. there was too much to explain. he would feel so guilty not having an explanation if he accidentally said something rude or acted out of line. and in the end, he might just end up driving her away from him—which would be yet another loss of a person who is in some way special to him. and he’s not sure he’ll be able to endure that kind of pain all over again. what if she only liked the other version of him, and not this version, who was jaded and cynical and hurt?

auntie buer is not having any of that though lol—she quickly finds out he sort of might maybe like nilou (it wasnt that hard, he was literally thinking about her constantly. the thoughts of how to avoid her kept getting interrupted with fluttering admirations about her, how lovely she is, how sweet, how yadda yadda, and then he would get mad at himself and shake his head). and so nahida does some meddling (idk details theyre tbd) and BOOM confrontation ez clap

i could say more but. it runs off into a specific scene with details that arent necessary for this drabble post.

i thought of this last night and slapped some words onto a google doc before the inspiration slipped (it is quite literally an entire page of a block of nonstop words, there are no breaks whatsoever and its a mess😭) and i wanted to post a modified and much less aggressive key-smashing version of it to see if i can convert anyone to my rarepair agenda :-)

i might. might may maybe might write this story but i already have so many ideas i Cannot commit to and so many other things i should be focusing on. at the very least it will probably be a long time before i post it if i do end up writing it fyi—but this will definitely be in the back of my head

MYAUAHAHHAHA YOUVE BEEN INFECTED BY THE XIAO & DILUC BRAINROT RARARA TOUGH MEN SOFT INSIDE GO BRRRRR

also ur making me CRY with this ask ,,, the way you would absolutely see their eyes soften even though their face is always stoic,,🥺AUAUUGH men with a soft spot <33333333 ?1??1?1(

but SINCE U ASKED AND I LOVE U HERES SOME GOROU AND THOMA BRAINROT TO BALANCE IT OUT RARARRARRWR <3

↪︎ thoma’s favorite nicknames for you are “my darling”, “sweetheart”, “windblume” (HES FROM MOND SO I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL)

↪︎ HE KEEPS LITTLE THINHS THAT U GIVE HIM :( like. if you collect things and give him some of the stuff you find (like rocks, shells, etc.) he will keep them safe in some obscure drawer of a desk in the corner at komore teahouse and literally Never get rid of them. like youll probably see them 5 years later and realize like holy shit he is so down bad💍💍

↪︎ gorou waggy tail :))) cant stop his tail from wagging when you talk, when you smile, when you—well, when you do anything really. just being in his line of sight is enough for it to start racing back and forth, prompting other soldiers in the vicinity to snicker and tease him to no end. keep in mind, theyre his subordinates. it’s just so obvious that he likes you that he cant ever deny it or blame his accusers.

↪︎ BUILDING ON THAT. everyone knows. Everyone. you like gorou and gorou likes you, and it’s not a secret—it could never be with the way he reacts around you. everyone in the resistance probably has like bets going around for whats gonna happen between you two next—will gorou say anything? will you pet his tail like yae miko told you to? when will gorou start barking??🐕🐕🐕🐕
