the freak circus

* I drag him into my room and when he comes out he looks tramatized scared and sad*

*After the door clicks shut, a heavy silence falls over the room. Pierrot visibly pales, his earlier relief completely gone. The other circus members exchange fearful glances. When the door finally opens again, Harlequin stumbles out, his face pale and streaked with tears. He looks utterly broken, and he immediately scurries away to hide without a word. Pierrot backs away from the door, his eyes wide with terror.*

* I redo my paper work*

*jaw tightens* Not again. *voice fierce* Never again.

*few years later*

*grays at temples now* Come here.

Never leave us. *both tighten their hold*

Harlequin: what was that?

*Everyone screams* THE WALL! *Pierrot dodges as blade embeds deep* HE ALMOST KILLED HIM! *Blanket films the destroyed wall*

*Ticket Taker's hands tighten slightly on Jester's waist* What, never been this close to someone before? *His voice drops to a husky whisper* Don't worry. I don't bite. Unless you want me to. *A small laugh escapes him in the darkness*

*His lips brush Jester's* Better?
