Not So Meant To Be

Pairing: Scaramouche x gn!reader Genre/AU/Trope: Angst(y’all should know this by now), Royalty AU Warnings: Explicit language, yelling, crying, self-harm WC:1k Summary: Prince Scara would forever be your rival. But what if one day, your heart doesn’t think the same? A.N: Birthday fix for my lovely mootie, @simonisferal / @kuni-coded HAPPY BIRTHDAY POOKIE I LOBE YOU (I also know like little to no lore so this fic will probably not include much of it) Song rec: Let You Break My Heart Again - Laufey, Creep - Radiohead

Way long before you could understand the feelings of love, there was a boy. And just as he was a boy to you, you were just another kid to him.

You met that boy on the borderlines. Beat up and barely able to walk. Covered in blood. Someone else’s or even possibly his own. You called your parents over in horror and shock. The three of you quickly returned to your hut with the boy in tow. Each of you took turns at nursing him back into good health.

When he awoke, he didn’t talk much. He was more of a curious little child. His precious little eyes would shine when presented with something new and no matter how many times you told him he didn’t have to, he’d help.

But good things always come to an end. Long before the awakening of the sky and the birds harmonious cries, he up and left your tiny little hut and cast you aside.

All that was left was the tiny doll you made for him and a small little note.

“I’m sorry.”

That morning when you awake and found your second bed empty, you didn’t know what to think. You thought that things were finally beginning to bond but maybe it was all your wishful thinking.

These days you wonder where that boy is. How is he doing? Where has he gone? What has become of him? When will you see him again? Why did he leave? How old is he now? But that’s not what matters.

The enemies are at the borders just like they were all those years ago. Trying to wage another war. They just won’t back down will they?

You lost your parents in the last war. Around the time that the little boy left, your parents were slaughtered for hiding an enemy. But how were you supposed to know that? By now you have risen. From the bottom to the top. A mere commoner into a proud general. The King’s most trusted aid.

His majesty had decided to send you and your troops to negotiate with the opposing side.

But upon your arrival, you were awestruck. You had heard about the beauty of the princess of Inazuma, but the prince was ephemeral. His beauty was unmatched to all you’ve ever seen.

When he began speaking it was like a sweet melody that you’d been yearning for for years. You didn’t even notice that he was waiting for your reply until your right hand man, Cyno, nudged your side.

Your eyes finally left the prince’s lips and your eyes met. “I’m sorry, what was that you said?” You eventually spoke as you cleared your throat.

The prince’s eyebrows grew closer and his frown increased. “Are you even taking me serious at all General (y/l/n)?”

You cleared your throat once more. “Of course I’m taking you seriously. I just got a little… distracted is all.” Your eyes flickered to his lips and back to his eyes again. “Would you care to tell me what you had stated previously again?”

He sighed with a shake of his head and continue his speech. “I said… It is I, Prince Kunikuzushi, and I’d like to have a discussion between us. I’m sure that we can both agree that war is not something that we wish for. So please, let’s discuss matters and call a truce shall we?”

A smirk spread across your face as you looked up to meet his eyes once more. “How about a duel. None of our men have to be involved. Just the two of us. What do you say?”

“Are you trying to cause a war!?” Kunikuzushi glared at you with a deep scowl on his face. How could you ask such a question in matters like these? Were you insane?

Your smirk slowly turned into a full blown smile. “Exactly. We don’t want a war. So why are you on our borderlines anyway. If it weren’t for your kingdom consistently trying to cross boundaries, none of us would be here.”

Kuni’s eyes bore into yours, causing them to burn. “Us!? We’ve tried every way to keep to ourselves and prosper with even our enemies. But no. We simply wanted to use a trade route and your leader — being the little bitch he is-”

“Don’t you talk about our king like that!!!”

“Then how else should I!? He’s consistently calling us burglars and thugs. We want no more than to have the same rights as our allies do. We can barely use a waterway without my people being attacked and terrorized. How would you feel if this were to happen to you?”

You must admit, you were left in shock. You never thought that there’d be another reason why the people of Inazuma kept entering your kingdom. Maybe you had been blindsided after all.

“I understand your worries, sire.” You spoke up “But I must discuss matters with His Majesty. Why don’t you accompany us back to the city. Not with your entire army of course. But you and a small troop shall be fine.”

Suspicion filled his eyes as you talked. “And how do I know you won’t try anything.”

“I swear on my oath of loyalty to His Majesty that me and my troops will bring you no harm.”

Kuni seemed to ease up upon hearing your words. “Alright then, lead the way.” ~~~ After about three days and three nights worth of traveling, you finally arrived outside the capital city. As soon as you entered along with the prince of Inazuma, the townspeople were quick to scatter. they didn’t want to get involved in this war any longer.

You led Prince Kunikuzushi straight up to the castle, throughout the halls, and all the way to the double doors of the discussion hall.

“You Majesty, General (name) has requested an audience.” You can hear the eunuch say loud and clearly.

His Majesty clears his throat before a reply. “You may leave.” The eunuch bows his head and retreats to you, in which he gives you a nod of approval to step in. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ this will be a series and this is only a part of it. I just wanted to get it out and I was too lazy to write😭(we’re gonna pretend ur bday wasn’t like 2 weeks ago😁)
