Wait. What?...

You snapped out of your stance as you realized what he said.

"Are- are you serious?.." You said, this was a surprise for you, although you can't tell if he's pranking you or not.

"Yes, well- if you want, no." Jax said, trying to keep up with his "smug" personality.

There was a long silence that followed, making Jax nervous. His ears twitched at your silent reaction.

"I-"

"Actually, no, nevermind. Don't mind what I said, it was nothing." Jax cut you off. Looking away from your eyes and turning around, boosting away.

"JAX! Wait! You didn't let me finish!!" You yelled, unfortunately, he was already gone. You face-palmed yourself as you had a pink tint on your cheeks.

"Maybe I'll just talk to him tomorrow... He probably needs space." You mumbled, walking into the circus tent to go to the rooms.

MEANWHILE WITH JAX. . .

Jax cursed himself out loud but it, of course, censored with a !BONK!

"Ugh, why did I say that. That confession was a mistake. I should've never said that." He thought to himself, while running his hands down his face with a groan.

"Now what am I supposed to do..." Jax muttered under his breath, crossing his arms and putting his hand under his chin, thinking to himself.

After thinking for a while, he got a terrible idea. (Well for him.) He groaned once again while thinking about it.

"You've gotta be kidding me... There's no way I'm going to ask Rags..." He was disgusted by the thought, but he had no choice but to ask the doll about his problem at hand.

"Guess I'm embarrassing myself again. Ugh." He thought, walking around the place to find Ragatha.

BACK TO YOU. . .

You were humming something while skipping your way to the hallway of the rooms.

On your way there, you saw Ragatha. You approach her immediately.

"Ragathaaa~! It's so nice to see you! How are you?" You exclaimed, putting on a grin on your face.

"Oh, hey Y/N, I'm doing good, just looking for somebody..." She said, her eyes darting around the place. "How about you?"

"Still same as ever, Ragatha. But I'm doing good! Although Jax kindaaa did something I wasn't expecting..." You said, your mood shifting from happy to awkward.

"Hm? What is it? Did he prank you? Did he hurt you? What did he do..?" Ragatha asked, grabbing your shoulders in the process. Her face getting closer and closer, trying to get an answer out of you.

You chuckled, putting your hands over hers to put her hands down, "No, Ragatha, he didn't do any of those stuff." You said, continuing, "He, uhm, confessed. To me. Just earlier." You said, stopping at each word.

"WHAT?!? HE ACTUALLY DID?!?!" The doll said, grabbing your shoulders again with a shocked face.

"Uhh... - What do you mean 'He actually did'?" You asked, tilting your head to the side while removing her hands from your shoulders, again.

"Oh, - nothing, totally, nothing." She said, backing away. "Anyway, I can talk to him if you'd like?" She said, flashing you a small smile.

"I would love that! Please do, I don't want him to misunderstand our situation right now..." You sadly said, fiddling with your fingers while looking at the floor.

"It's alright, I understand," Ragatha said, as you nodded. She nodded back, a signal that she's gonna go now.

WITH JAX. . .

"Where the hell is that licorice-haired doll?" Jax said, looking around with his hand on his hip.

"I don't want Y/N waiting any longer. God, that look on her face-"

"JAX!"

Jax's thoughts were interrupted by a yelling voice in the distance. He turned around to see Ragatha who was walking towards him already.

"Jax, I have something to talk about with you." She said sternly, her hands on her hips.

"Ughhh, what did I do?", Jax then remembered he also needed to tell her something as well. "Oh, well, what a surprise, I have something to talk about with you too. And it's somehow... Important, and urgent."

Ragatha's expression shifted to stern to confused. He's never been like this before. "Huh. Well, then you go first. Mine can actually wait." She said, "I should test if he's gonna talk about his confession that Y/N told me earlier..." She thought, narrowing her eyes at the periwinkle rabbit.

Jax sighed, crossing his arms and looking away. "I need your help on... Y/N." Ragatha then raised an eyebrow, pretending to not know. Jax continued, "I confessed to her earlier this morning and I feel like she doesn't reciprocate my feelings. I'm asking. . ." Jax stopped for a second, pulling himself together.

"I'm asking for advice on how to show my appreciation for her." He said, a pink hue on both of his cheeks, a frown was plastered on his face as well.

Ragatha chuckled, "Oh, wow. Never knew it'd come to this." Jax's frown deepened more, Ragatha cut to the chase. "Okay, I'll help you. BUT! Only with advice. The rest is yours to do."

BACK TO YOU. . .

You were just in your room, swinging your legs while sitting on your comfortable bed. You had your drawing of Jax with you, staring at the drawing, you immediately got flashbacks of his confession.

You shook your head to get those thoughts away. You put the piece of paper on your nightstand and lied down.

"I wonder if Ragatha spoke to Jax yesterday..." You thought to yourself, staring at your ceiling, which was filled with stars.

There a sudden knock on your door that made you look whip your head to the side. You got up and walked to the door.

You opened the door to see...

Jax!

"Jax?" You rubbed your eyes, as you were a bit sleepy. "Oh, Jax! Hi! I'm so happy to see you!" You sleepily said, softly smiling.

"Hey, cutie. Could I... Come in?" The rabbit said, his left ear twitching. You nodded and opened the door wide open for him to come in.

"So, " You yawned, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night...?" You asked, fiddling with the sleeves of your pajamas.

"Well, about my.. " He stopped, "Confession, yesterday. I wanted to talk about it." Jax said, looking away.

"Oh, really? You didn't really let me speak." You chuckled, putting a hand on your mouth to cover up the sounds.

Jax coughed into his wrist, "Well, I wanted to hear your response..." He mumbled, looking away, then gazing into your eyes.

You nervously, yet softly smiled at him and took his hand. Jax slightly tensed up at the action, but later calmed down.

"I accept your confession."

Jax's ears suddenly twitched at what you said. That one single sentence made him blush an obvious red hue across his cheeks.

"Wait. Am I hearing that right?" He asked, completely shocked, yet extremely happy at the same time.

"Yes, Jax. I love you." You softly said, rubbing his hand with your thumb.

You looked at Jax who was staring into the void. "Jax? Are you oka-"

You suddenly got pushed on your bed and you felt two arms wrap around you. You realized that it was just Jax, sweetly cuddling you. Your head was resting on his chest.

You did the same, and wrapped two arms around him. You took the first move and softly kissed him on his cheek.

You could've sworn that you felt his fur rise at your little action, as well as him suddenly tensing up.

You softly chuckled, burying the side of your face more into his chest, with a small smile on your face.

"Good night, Jax." You mumbled, closing your eyes and you fell half-asleep. You heard him speak:
