Red Is My Favourite Colour

Y/N lay in their bed again, reading whatever book Dandy bought for them. But they still had no clue why he was so obsessed with them. Their only clue was that they were friends with Elsa Mars, and they had helped her out at the Freakshow from time to time. They were unsure of their position there, or if Elsa liked them since they lived with Dandy for much of their life. "Y/N." Dandy brought them out of their thoughts and they looked at Dandy, a bit worried. "Don't look worried, we're just going to the freakshow."

"It's only 5. They don't start until 6." They mentioned, pointing to the clock on the wall. Dandy let out a groan and just stomped off, so Y/N presumed they had to follow him otherwise he'd get angry at them. Again.

They both headed out of the house and sat in the car. It was a small car, without a top, and Y/N just stared at the sky, a cloudy day, but it was blue either way, and they stared and stared as Dandy got the car started, and drove away from the house, going to the Freakshow. The drive felt like hours, it was silent, and Dandy didn't let Y/N play any music. The long road slowly became shorter as the tent of the Freakshow got closer and closer. Some of the freaks stared at Dandy, and Jimmy too. He smiled at Y/N, seeing them in the car.

Once Dandy parked his car, he got out and walked out. "Stay there."

"Then why'd you bother bringing me?" They spat out, opening the door next to them and getting up, walling up towards the tent, and pulling one of the curtains back. "Hellooo?" They asked, looking around.

Jimmy ran up to Y/N and hugged them tightly, Dandy staring harsh daggers at Jimmy. "Y/N, how have you been? I missed you." He took Y/N's hands and brought them onto the stage sitting next to them.

"I missed you too Jimmy, and I've been okay. Dandy...is Dandy." They just giggled, leaning on Jimmy's shoulder. "I wish I could stay with you more, I love being with you, and the others." Y/N carried on rambling about how much they wanted to stay with the others because they were so close with everyone.

"Plus your voice is so beautiful, you could fill a crowd darling I'm sure of it." Jimmy smiled, looking down at Y/N, and gently holding their face. A blush made Y/N's face red, sheepishly smiling back at Jimmy.

"Y/N! WE'RE GOING BACK HOME," Dandy shouted from the curtain entrance. It scared both Jimmy and Y/N out of their fantasy of kissing each other and finally spending their whole life together. Y/N just sighed and jumped off the stage, slowly walking towards Dandy, their figure almost becoming small again. He quickly grabbed Y/N's wrist, dragging them away.

"Dandy, you're hurting my wrist."

"I don't care! The freaks don't want me so they can't have you either!" He was being a man-child again, and they stared back at Jimmy, worry in their eyes. Whenever Dandy was upset with the freaks, he would yell at Y/N, and blame them for it, making it seem like it was their problem, and told the freaks to say no to him all the time. They were used to it at this point, the down that comes with the up of living at a place like the Mott Mansion.

Jimmy walked up quickly, and wrapped his arms around Y/N's waist, pulling them around to the stage, looking icely at Dandy. Y/N was confused and sat on the stage again, hoping Jimmy would put Dandy in his place. It did excite them a bit, but Jimmy just smiled back at Y/N, giving them confidence. "Now listen here rich boy, both you and Y/N are not freaks, but Y/N deserves to be here more than you. You are just spoiled and you are deranged. Now, LEAVE!"

"...I HATE YOU." Y/N knew what was coming as soon as Dandy said that. But Dandy just ran off, getting in his car and driving off without another word.

Elsa was watching from the corner, silently smoking. "Y/N? Are you okay my dear?" She asked, walking up to Y/N. They shook their head in response, bringing their knees up to their chest. "You can't be expected to be happy with that man-child who thinks he owns everyone he comes into contact with," Elsa stated, staring at Jimmy who was standing on the other side of the tent curtains, making sure Dandy fully rode away.

"I know, but Dora, their housemaid, was really nice to me, and I had all the books I wanted. Because I know I had to rent them when I was here." Jimmy walked back in, crossing his arms. "Is he gone, Jimmy?"

"Yeah, he's gone. I don't know why you stayed with him." Jimmy huffed, a stern look in his eyes. Elsa just walked away, shrugging like she had answers for both of them. "He's so obsessed with us! Why did you, not object?!"

"I did object! I told him off so many times! But he just got mad at me, and usually threw a glass bottle at me." Y/N looked away, staring at their feet.

"Wait what? He threw a glass at you?!!" Jimmy immediately held onto their shoulders, looking dead in their eyes. Y/N just nodded. "What else has he done to you?!"

"just yelled at me and threw the glass. That's it, don't worry." A shrug came from Y/N, and they half smiled, not thinking about it much. But Jimmy brought Y/N in a tight hug, not letting them go. "Jimmy, I'm okay, I promise. He hasn't done it in a while."

"No. That doesn't matter Y/N. He's hurt you. He hurt you because you were just trying to level him out." Jimmy kept a hold on Y/N and they returned the favour. "We're moving you back here. It doesn't matter what Dandy says." He placed a hand on Y/N's cheek, keeping them close.

"I'd like that." Y/N smiled, placing their arms around Jimmy's shoulders. "I prefer being here, with you, Elsa, Bette and Dot."

"They're gonna be so happy to see you, darling." Jimmy picked up Y/N and kissed them, Y/N happily kissed Jimmy back, smiling at the thought of being with Jimmy forever.
