I

t was a normal day in the Digital Circus. Adventures, chatting, etc. it just keeps repeating. You always wonder when it's all gonna change.

Although, at least a certain periwinkle rabbit always keeps you company. That rabbit would be Jax, the annoying jaxass. ( 🤭 )

Even though he's annoying as hell, you'd still enjoy his company. Hell, you'd even join in his pranks as well. (He forces you to.)

PRESENT

You were just talking to Gangle about their "comedy mask" as it kept getting damaged by Jax. It was a normal thing, but you still felt bad as they had to cope with this problem all the time.

"Y/N, thanks for helping me fix my comedy mask all the time, you're really helpful." Gangle says, softly smiling at you.

"Aww, it's nothing, Gangle! I'm happy to help all the time." You said, grinning ear-to-ear. "Although, Jax should stop breaking your mask all the time..." You added, putting on a nervous smile.

Gangle just sheepishly nodded and walked away with their fixed comedy mask.

You decided to look for Jax around the circus to have your usual chats with him.

You found him talking with Ragatha with an annoyed expression in the hallway of the rooms in the circus.

Your mouth formed an 'o' as your eyes slightly widened. You tilted your head to the side as you hid behind a wall to stare at the two figures.

"That's... unusual. He never listens to what Ragatha says. He'd just usually walk away without letting her finish a single sentence..." You thought, feeling confused of the sudden interaction between the two.

You sighed, thinking to yourself, "I should just leave them both alone for now." You began to walk away, successfully unseen by the two.

MEANWHILE WITH JAX AND RAGATHA. . .

"Ugh, how many times do I have to tell you, I don't love nor like her as like, well--- that." Jax retorted, crossing his arms with a frown on his face.

Ragatha shook her head as she started to speak back at him, "Jax, it's so obvious. I know when a person is falling in love." She said slightly smiling. "You know, if you don't confess, it'll be too late for you." Ragatha said, sighing.

"What if she loves somebody else instead of falling with yo-"

"Enough." Jax interrupted the doll. "If you're so sure of me having a 'crush' on that... well her, what's ur proof?" Jax said, smugly looking at her as if he had already won.

"Well," Ragatha took in a deep breath, "I saw you looking at her as if you were lovestruck by her appearance, and everytime you guys talk I can see that you're softer to her than you are to us."

"What? pft- that's a li-"

"I'm not done." The doll said, continuing. "She's basically the only person you joke NICELY with. You've only done a few harmless pranks on her.", " So, I think it's pretty obvious, Jax."

Jax looked at her with disbelief, then speaking up. "Seriously? Are you a stalker or something? It looked like you were prepared for this." The periwinkle rabbit said, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh, " The doll chuckled, "I have my ways."

"Pft, yeah right. I'm gonna fill your room with centipedes later..." Jax whispered the last part, "What was that?" Ragatha said, her chuckling face putting on a confused look.

"Nothing. Anyway, you didn't convice me." Jax said, walking away with a nonchalant look on his face.

"What?! Jax! You have to confess!!" Ragatha yelled in the distance, "Be quiet, I wanna be in peace, doll-face." Jax said, still walking away.

BACK TO YOU. . .

You were chatting away with Pomni and Kinger as you handed them each a piece of paper.

"Okay, we should draw our favorite person in the circus!" You said, happily, softly, clapping your hands together.

"Oh... But I'm not really good at drawing.." Pomni said, glancing away. While Kinger was staring into the void.

"Aw, it's fine! It doesn't have to look nice, we should potray our drawings in our own ways!" Grabbing a box of crayons, you lead Pomni and Kinger on a nearby table to start drawing.

"Huh? What are we doing?" Kinger said, looking around. "Y/N said we should draw our favorite person in the circus on... our own piece of paper." Pomni slightly mumbled, drawing her piece.

Kinger just stared at Pomni for a few seconds before grabbing his paper and grabbed a crayon as well.

You on the other hand, was focused on drawing. You started to just draw a horrible, but good sketch at the same time of your favorite person

You looked at Pomni who was staring at her paper. "Pomni? Why aren't you drawing anymore?" You said, tilting your head.

"I.. I messed up. I need another paper.." Pomni sadly said, her eyes still on her paper.

"It's alright, I can get another piece of paper in my room." You said, standing up, and nodded.

You were walking to your room as you suddenly bumped into somebody.

Rubbing your head, you looked up to see, It was jax!

"Oh, Jax! I'm so happy to see you!" You said, grinning ear-to-ear. "Heh, already missed me, shorty?" Jax smirked, although the blush on his cheeks was quite noticeable.

"Of course I did, You're my closest friend, Jax." You said, still smiling while looking at him.

Jax feels a pang in his heart as he heard the word, "friend" in your sentence. That single word makes him go crazy, oh, how he wants you to call him pet names...

"Jax? Jaxxxx..?" You kept saying his name to snap him out of his zoning out session.

"Hm? Oh. Yeah, yeah. I gotta go now, bye." He nonchalantly said, turning his back and walking away.

"Huh, well that's not normal." You thought, but you shrugged it off. Maybe it was because of that chat with Ragatha.

BACK TO JAX. . .

"Great going, Jax."

The periwinkle rabbit was greeted with a voice behind him, making him turn around suddenly.

"Ugh, what the !?#& was that for?" Jax said, putting his hand on his chest.

"One word: Confess." Ragatha said, revealing her figure behind the wall.

"I told you, I can't do it", Ragatha narrowed her eyes, "Okay, look. I'm scared.", Jax said, glancing away from Ragatha's eyes.

Ragatha raised an eyebrow, a signal to let him go explain. "I'm scared... that I might ruin our friendship together." The rabbit said, crossing his arms with a slight red hue on his cheeks.

"You know, rejection is scary, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. Trust me, she might have feelings too, you know?" Ragatha said in a reassuring voice, making Jax look at her.

"C'mon, even if she does reject you, she doesn't seem like the type of person to leave you behind as if you were nothing." She put her hand on Jax's shoulder. "Just try."

Jax sighed, yanking Ragatha's hand off of himself. Jax just mumbled something but wasn't audible. He walked away once again but...

He was gonna do it.

You were finished with your drawing of your favorite person in the circus. You walked over to Pomni, who was coloring like a maniac.

"Hey Pomni! Are you almost finished?" You said, going over to her side to see her drawing.

You went 'Aww' as you saw her drawing. It was everybody in the Digital Circus. Ragatha, Kinger, Caine, Zooble, herself, you, and even Jax.

"That's so cute!!" You squealed, your eyes sparkling. "Thank you... What's yours?" Pomni asked, wanting to see your piece.

"Oh, well, here." You handed her your piece of paper. "Wo-woah! Is this... Jax?" Pomni said, her eyes widening.

"Yeeeupp!" You popped the 'p' as you smiled. "You like Jax?..." Pomni said, her jaw slightly dropping.

You chuckled, "Well, I don't really know." You said, glancing away, a slight pink hue on your cheeks.

Jax suddenly arrived in the room, he, of course, first saw you in the room and walked towards you.

"Hey, shorty. Mind if we talk?" Jax said, his smug face still there.

"Oh, sure, " You looked at Pomni who was looking between you two. "Could I have my paper back, Pomni?" You said, reaching your hand out.

"Uh-... uhm. Sure...." The jester mumbled, handing your paper to you.

You walked away with Jax outside the room.

OUTSIDE THE DIGITAL CIRCUS TENT. . .

You both arrived outside the circus tent, you immediately went straight to the point.

"So, what did you wanna talk about?" You said, looking up at Jax who was zoning out, while his gaze was just on the side instead of you.

"Jaxxx.... Here we go again with the zoning out." You waved your hand in front of his face and he immediately snapped out of his stance.

"Oh, hm? Sorry. I'm just not ready.." He muttered the last part. Your curiosity arose, as you started to speak again.

"Jaxxxx!! C'monn... Tell me!" You exclaimed, tugging at his arm.

Jax blushed a red hue on his cheeks as he slightly smirked at your reaction.

"Okay. Fine."
