I'm so sorry guys, but I had to make another Scaramouche chapter, I know we're supposed to hate him and all and he hates people but have you seen that man-

He could kill me and I would say thank yo-

I'll leave now. Goodbye.

"Tch. I was starting to wonder when you would arrive. I was starting to wonder when you would bring me back from that dreadful world."

"I don't know~ Scaramouche, or should I call you "Mouchie"? seems to me that you're fairing quite well."

I quickly teleport in front of Ajax and point my polearm at hia throat, "Don't call me that. Ever. I will beat you to a pulp."

He laughs in my face and saunters away, "A midget like you wouldn't get you very far."

Anger rises in my throat and I start yelling at him, "Now now, that isn't at all prince-like. I wonder even how that human girl finds you tolerable. I wonder what she will think of you if you ever do see her again. You left her all alone. "

"Tch. So what? She's just another human." I lied right through my hat. In truth, I liked the human girl very much. I enjoyed her company way more than I wished to admit. But I couldn't let him know that. Up here, humans are worth no more than the Gods. Worthless idiots. And yet, why did I enjoy being around her so much?

"Top hat? You in there?" I focus back again on Ajax as he smiles viciously at me.

"Don't call me that."

He just laughs and pushes down my hat and I push his hand away and fix it.

"Our Majesty the Tsaritsa wishes to have an audience with us."

I nod and fix my posture, "About what?"

He shrugs and for the first time in a while, his demeanor turns serious, "I don't know. yet."

I nod and we both stand promptly outside of her throne room waiting to be seen by her Majesty.

Weeks pass by as I sip on my tea, watching as the leaves fall from the trees, watching the raindrops fall down my glass doors. Part of me believes that he'll come back but the other part of me knows that I'll never see him again.

I watch as the rain race to reach the bottom of my double glass backyard doors. The wind slowly picks up and the leaves swirl around in my backyard.

'Dummy...you said you'd be back...' Tears form in my eyes as I watch the back door, hoping, wishing for him to come back to me. To come home, "Mouchie..."

"Ajax! You bastard! Shut up! There's no way in heaven would I ever do that!"

A dark expression looms over Ajax's face as he says his next few words that hit me like a truck. "You have to do it. You have to kill her."

I stare blankly at him, "No."

"Yes."

"Why her?"

"You're too close to her."

"So?"

"You know what happens to people like her who waltz with a demon."

I stay silent as I stare at him trying to comprehend his words.

"You either kill her or I'll do it myself and I'll take her soul."

"There has to be another way." Tears prick at the corner of my eyes but I refuse to let this idiot see me cry.

He shakes his head, "No. You know how dangerous it is. If she gets too involved, it will be dangerous for both of you. You know that. So why-explain to me why you would allow yourself to get so close to a human?"

I shake my head, "Tch. I don't have to explain anything to the likes of you."

"No, but you do have to explain this to Her Majesty."

I shake my head, "No."

His eyes widen, "You can't be serious-this is exactly why demons and humans don't get involved. If Her Majesty finds out-"

"She won't."

"You'll both be dead, but for her, it will be different. To the world, it will be like she never existed in the first place. Her memory, all those who ever loved or cared about her, they won't remember. They will feel a gap but they won't remember her. Do you know why? Because Her Majesty will make sure of it."

"She won't find out."

"How do you know?"

"You'll make sure of it."

"What makes you think that? I don't serve you."

"No, but if you're caught up in this and she finds out, let's just say it won't end well for you either. Plus, I know you like humans, you wouldn't want to see anyone innocent get hurt."

"Tch. Dumbass. Fine. I'll help you. But if her Majesty goes looking for you or finds out what you're doing, I can't help you."

"Fine."

I turn and start walking away through a portal when I turn back towards Ajax, "Thanks."

"Don't mention it or I'll kill you."

"Tch. Even demons say thank you sometimes."

"Whatever."

"Later."

"Maybe." He whispers just loud enough for me to barely hear.

Sitting on my bed, I'm studying material for my class in the morning when I suddenly hear a crash from my kitchen.

I jolt up and grab a nearby music stand and carefully open my door to my bedroom. I poke my head out to the living room when suddenly the stand is teleported out of my hand and I scream when I feel a gush of wind behind me.

I quickly turn around getting ready to fight when the intruder finally speaks, "Calm down. Sheesh. I thought you would miss me."

I gasp and open my eyes and blink a couple of times, "Scaramouche. You're back."

"Gee, I thought I would get more of a reaction. I'll just go back then."

He starts to turn away but I rush at him and tackle him in a hug, "I can't believe you're back!" I hug him tightly and this time he hugs me back.

"You idiot! Why didn't you call me or anything?!"

"I don't exactly get the best reception in hell."

I cry as I hug him tighter.

"It's only been a few weeks."

"In hell! Down here time works differently! It's been months!"

I get off of him and help him up.

I hug him tightly as soon as he's on his feet, "Please don't leave me. I've been lonely without your company."

He pats my back consolingly, "I won't. I promise." He says in a whisper.

"(y/n), I-"

I quickly kiss him deeply and he hesitates before leaning into it, "I love you Mouchie."

"I love you too (y/n)." He smiles and wipes my tears with his thumb.

"Now, don't call me that you idiot."

"Of course, I will call you that. By the way, Diluc and Kaeya are still skeptical of you."

"Tch."
