⚠️swear words, cigarettes, threats ⚠️

The blonde walked towards the circus slightly late. Everyone was gathered around what looked like a laptop all in a circle shocked. He saw Nick in the circle with a smile on his face like he was proud. Clay listened to what they were playing, it sounded to familiar. It was someone singing.

Nick paused the video and looked at Clay "Hey."

Everyone looked at Clay, but George wasn't there so that was good "What were you guys doing?"

"I showed them to videos of you acting and singing, your really good."

"I- um thanks" Clay said "But that was when I was younger, that was like 10 years ago maybe more."

The doors opened and there came George, oh no. Clay immediately looked at them signaling them to be quiet.

"Hey Georgee" Karl said looking at him.

"Good afternoon, why is everyone looking at me?" George asked.

"Oh no, we're looking at Clay" Nick said.

"I- okay" George said.

"Clay was in acting and he has an amazing singing voice!" Karl said and it echoed throughout the building.

"Oh god" Clay said "Seriously it's nothing guys."

"No, let me see this" George said walking towards the laptop.

I'm doomed...

Clay didn't confess a lot to everyone except Nick, but when he was a teenager he was in tons of musicals. He was very experienced with singing too, so experienced he's played one of the songs on the news. He thought it was embarrassing, and he wanted to put it behind him which didn't work out well.

George watched and listened to the laptop carefully. He couldn't believe it, he thought it was hilarious but at the same time shocked. He looked kinda cute when he was younger also, but George trashed that thought away...

"Interesting, how come you never mentioned it?" George asked.

"That was back then, and it's absolutely terrible so" Clay chuckled in embarrassment.

"I have idea" Nick said, oh no.

"Clay, take off the jacket."

"Why?" Clay asked.

"Just do it" Nick said.

He didn't argue once so he just took in off in confusion, Karl grabbed his jacket and he put it on a seat. Nick snapped his fingers and everyone went to the seats and sat down.

"Follow me" Nick said he walked onto the platform.

Clay stood beside him, he was much taller than him. He looked at Nick...

"Look at your crowd."

Clay was in confusion and looked at everyone on the seats, it seemed George knew what they were doing. The brunette rolled his eyes...

Nick clapped twice and Karl threw a practice staff which Clay caught immediately "Here you go."

"No, that's for you" Nick said as he walked off the platform, he clapped once more and he threw a top hat at Nick.
