“I want a different gift...”

(TW: ABUSE)

Scaramouche never liked you.

He found your attitude and personality obnoxious to no end, and he knew you felt the same about him.

But there was one thing you both had in common... a bad home life.

You both knew, but it was never spoken about between you, not even in arguments. But he knew you saw the way he was quieter on the days his mother would yell at him and you knew the way he would notice the baggy clothes you’d wear even in summer.

But yet, it wasn’t once spoke between you.

Until...

January 3rd, one year prior.

Scaramouche sat outside the door of the rusty and old car he had stolen from his sibling. It was old and had been rotting the garage for a year, but it would do to get him a few states over. Who knew this was how he’d spend his 17th birthday. Alone smoking without anyone to celebrate this milestone with. He was used to it though. The bag he has hurriedly packed sat in the passenger seat as he tried to plan where to go next.

He had run away.

He had gotten into an argument with his mother where harsh words with no regrets were thrown. Through angry tears, he packed his bag and stormed out the door, grabbing the keys to his siblings old car and driving until he stopped at the gas station he was at now.

He heard footsteps walk past the car, and stop near him. He looked up from his cigarette out of curiosity and instinct, but he nearly had the life knocked out of him.

Scaramouche saw you slumped up against the brick wall of the gas station, puffed out like you had just run a marathon with a big bruise on your face. It took one glance at your hurriedly packed backpack just like his to realise you had run away just like him.

When your eyes met his curious ones, he quickly looked away, choosing not to bother with your life. But just as he was about to get in the car and drive, another car pulled up next to him.

A drunken guy atleast 10 years older than the both of them hanged out the window, his also drunk friends laughing behind him.

“You look lost~ wanna ride~?”

The drunkard spoke with a confidence that disgusted Scaramouche to his core. Whatever, he should just leave. He never liked you, so why should he care now?

But he saw the look of distress in your eyes, realising that this would be a painfully long journey.

God this was stupid.

“Actually...”

Scaramouche spoke before his brain could catch up.

“they’re coming with me.”

He said putting out his cigarette and signalling with his head for you to get.
