In the months since Scaramouche ran off with the electro gnosis, he’s had surprisingly good luck with finding a home. While wandering up the lonely mountain of Dragonspine he stumbled upon an uninhabited space. It looked like someone lived there sometime in the past, the torches weren’t lit so he assumed it had been long enough for him to move in. He wasn’t very vulnerable to the cold, but he wrapped himself in the blankets that were lying around anyways. Though the cold didn't affect him much, he still felt the mental fatigue of wandering the mountain. On the tables and walls there were papers with what seemed to be research papers. He feared for a moment that he’d accidentally stumbled into some sort of workshop of Il Dottore’s…but no, that type of man has no need for blankets. Scara looked over the papers. The ones on the walls focused more on alchemy and some of the paper on the table went more into astrology.
“How trivial.” He scoffed.
He looked around some more and found some very intricate paintings, along with some that looked like they were drawn by a child.
“Hm.. a family man maybe.”
From the entrance, he heard a very neutral,
“Oh, it's been a while since someone has wandered in here.”
Scaramouche, covered in blankets, slowly turned to see who was there.
There were two people, one being a short man with light blonde hair, and the other being a woman around the same height with dark purple hair and a questionable get-up. He slightly recognized the woman, and she recognized him even more.
“YOU’RE THAT FATUI HARBINGER !”
She looked like she was preparing to attack him, but the man accompanying her put his arm out to stop her.
“Harbinger ? Mona, I doubt a Fatui Harbinger would be camping out here covered in blankets.”
“No ! He really is a Harbinger ! I’ve seen him before !”
Scara rubbed his temple.
“Not even a few hours of being here and I’ve already been found out.”
“I am the person you’re thinking of-“
“SEE ?”
“I wasn’t finished.” He scowled for a moment, then tried to relax his face. He wasn't a big fan of being interrupted but he needed to get out of this situation without any trouble. “Though I am who you’re thinking of, I'm no longer.. affiliated with the Fatui.”
Mona groaned and summoned some sort of blue circle and looked back and forth between him and it.
“Well.. he isn't lying.”
Scara finally realized where he knew her from and stifled a laugh.
“Oh, you’re that astrology girl”
“Yes, I am. What of it ?”
“Nothing at all. Now, I’ll be on my way.”
Scara started to put all of the blankets back where he found them.
“Hold on.” The man accompanying Mona lightly grabbed his shoulder. “You should come with us. If you’re resorting to camping out on a mountain you clearly need somewhere to stay.”
“There is absolutely no way I am letting him into my apartment, Albedo !”
“Our apartment. And I’m paying your rent. He has enough sense to leave the Fatui… let’s give him a chance.”
“Hmph.”
Mona crossed her arms. Scaramouche chuckled a bit and kept putting the blankets away.
“That’s very charitable of you, but I’ll pass.”
“I’ll let you take the blankets if you come.”
And that’s how Scara ended up living with a scientist and his astrologist girlfriend. The next two months consisted of lots of bickering, Albedo trying to get the two to spend time together, Scaramouche occasionally stealing Mona’s hat and hiding it somewhere, and many other things. But at some point, they started shifting into the two of them (begrudgingly) getting along, Albedo bringing Scara along on their dates, Scara sleeping with the two of them some nights. There was still bickering and arguments, and the two still glared at each other at night when they accidentally made contact while holding Albedo… but they were getting along.
One morning, Mona and Scara were attempting to cook together.
“Scara no- no no, not like that- you’re going to get egg yolk everywhere.”
Mona took the egg from him and cracked it against the side of a bowl, instead of on the counter like he was about to do. Scara scoffed.
“Did the stars tell you how to do that, star girl ?”
“UGH ! It’s Mona Megistus ! I’ve told you a million times !”
“A pretentious name for an equally pretentious profession.”
“SAYS THE FATUI HARBINGER ! Oh WAIT.” Mona scoffed. “No wonder you can't even crack an egg.”
Scaramouche turned red, and was about to unleash some gnarly insults on Mona.
“If you two keep arguing then the food will burn.”
They both grunted and kept working on the meal. They ate with Albedo and made a few snarky comments at each other throughout the meal.
Albedo finished his meal and cleared his throat.
“I’d be surprised if you two really hated each others cooking as much as you say you do. Considering you both finished the entire bowl.”
The two of them spurted out an embarrassed “Well-“, but Albedo wasn't having it.
“Shh. I need to go up to the mountain for a while. Can I trust you two to not tear each other apart in my absence ?”
They both nodded, and Albedo gave them both a kiss on the cheek before leaving.
They were surprisingly good at simply existing together in silence. Mona worked on her astrology columns and Scara worked on a gift for Klee. Albedo had asked him to make something and well, he had nothing better to do.
When he finished the gift he wrapped it up and went into the bedroom to lay down. Mona joined him later on. She laid down on the other side of the bed, facing away from him.
“Mona… could you.. move over ?”
“Move over ? Do you want me to fall off ?”
“I meant.. the other way.”
She turned over to face him, staring at him for a moment before moving closer to him.
“Is there a reason you’re doing this ?”
“It’s what Albedo wants.”
“But is it what you want ?”
His face scrunched up and turned a little red.
“…Yes.”
Mona summoned her scryglass.
“Well… you aren't lying.”
They shared a quiet laugh and closed their eyes, falling asleep together.
Albedo returned home later that afternoon to see them sound asleep together. He smiled and carefully slid into bed with them. It felt nice not being squished in the middle for once.
