Work Text:
It has been two months since you found out Scaramouche was actually bald under that hat, and since you two went swimming together. You were both getting along just as well as when you first met, before you found out he was bald, and after.
"Don't you think we should consider walking around Inazuma City without your hat? It's about time you show yourself to others besides me," you suggested to the love of your life Scaramouche.
"No fucking way in hell. Don't ever ask something like that again," he replied back to your suggestion. "You're the only one I wanna show my head to."
You could tell he was trying to flatter you, however, it wasn't really working. You wanted him to come out of his comfort zone- in what way could you convince him?
"Okayyy.... then how about we have a date in Inazuma City. We can go look around at the food stalls and restaurants." He looked at you the moment you brought up the word 'date.' ".... however my condition for this date is you can't wear your hat."
He looked at you, face changed from looking hopeful to saddened. "Y/N, you can't trick me like that. I'm not going to."
You were a bit upset that he wasn't willing to do it for you, however, you decided you shouldn't push onto the topic any further. "Hey hey- I was joking. We can go on that date- hat or no hat. Do you still feel like going outside?" You asked him, whilst he still had a sour look on his face.
"... You sure you don't have any tricks up your sleeve?" He asked for reassurance. You nodded at him, and he let out a big breath. "Okay, let's go out right now then," Scaramouche smiled, grabbing your hand and leading you outside, and making your way to Inazuma city.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
You two had just arrived in the City. Scaramouche had kept looking at you suspiciously, as if thinking that you would just grab his hat and run off with it at any given second.
You'd already reassured him that you weren't going to do anything he didn't want you to do, why was he still weary of you?
"Hey, Scara, let's go eat at Kiminani Restaurant first. Start off with something like soba?" You suggested to him.
".... Yeah," he replied, unenthusiastically. Okay, there was no way in hell you were going to take this kind of attitude from him. You're both supposed to be having fun!
You both sat down at the restaurant, placing your orders and waiting for them to be ready. "Scara, are you still upset about what I said before? I promised I wouldn't do anything."
He rested one of his elbows on the counter, looking at you. "No, I'm not mad. It's just I feel if we're out here and you ask me to again, I'll probably say yes because I can't say no to you." He blushed, now covering his face. "I'm being cautious."
Oh yeah, you definitely love him. He's absolutely adorable. You love him enough to not make him do anything he's not comfortable with- at all. "I'm not going to make you do that. You already said you wouldn't."
Scaramouche looked more relieved after you said, as he rested his shoulders. It was just then that your Soba noodles were done. You both started to dig in, finishing the dish in no time. "Where do you want to go next?" You asked him.
"I wanna look around at all the City cats," Scaramouche immediately replied. Odd request, but okay. You were thinking of getting more food together, but you still didn't mind at all.
... Scaramouche was a cat person?
"Oh there's a really cute one right there. Here, kitty..." He spotted as he knelt down and waved his hand in a patting rotation to attract the cat. The cat came to him, resting itself in both his hands as he continued to pat it with lot's of love.
Just who was he on a date with? You or the cat?
Deciding you shouldn't complain about it, you just let him enjoy himself. Besides, he looks quite cute when he's all taken away with something he loves. You would prefer it to be you over the cat, though.
"Man, cats are amazing. They really act like they're gonna rule the world one day. I really look up to them," Scaramouche commented. Ah, you should've expected that to be the reason to his love.
"I also really love you," he looked back from the cat to you, smiling.
"Fuck yourself in your own asshole, oh my god." You knelt down with him, covering your face in absolute embarrassment from the statement he just made. You could normally take it, but todays was just unexpected. "I love you too."
Scaramouche chuckled, bringing his attention back to his beloved cat. Maybe the food wasn't so important after all.
