   Summary

   Scaramouche didn’t know how much crazy he could handle, but it proved to not be a lot of it. His mind was filled with misleading tangles, but this specific knot should’ve been a lie he was confident in identifying.

   Because there was no other explanation on why Ajax, from three tables across, stared right at him as if he held the very moon in his palms. His eyes glistened, and a smile was plastered on his face. His friends conversed around him, but Ajax paid no mind, and still had his eyes locked onto Scaramouche. His hands fiddled with each other, and he swears a slight tint red was on his cheeks.

   or

   Scaramouche doesn't belong here, he never has, he never will. He's tried everything to rid himself of his imperfections. But Ajax might change that, and show that Scaramouche has always had a place of belonging, in his heart.
