Jax x Pomni (tadc fan art)

Chapter one

Context: It's Pomni's 100th day at The Amazing Digital Circus.

Pomni's pov:
I look in the mirror thinking about the 100 days I have searched for an unattainable goal. The countless hours I've spent in my room thinking about ways I could escape. I even spent time finding a way to kill myself, sadly I didn't die when I cut myself on the arm 27 times. I'm so lonely I fell for Jax. I looked down at my hands and saw they were glitching. I laughed. I couldn't even last a year here! Every terrible thought and emotion consumed me.

Then I heard the door open, it was Jax. He saw me glitching and I expected him to shrug and walk away, but instead he had a look of horror on his face. " Pom Pom! Cmon you have so much to live for." He pleaded he asked starting to cry. "Like what?" I asked tears rolling down my face too. It made me even sadder he cared. I didn't want him to watch me abstract. "I love you Pomni." My heart skipped a beat. I walked over and pressed my lips against his. Another emotion passed onto me. I saw his face go red and mine did too as he grabbed me by the waist. I felt so safe but helpless at the same time in his arms. As we pulled our lips away. He stared at me in a loving way, a way I had never seen him. He wiped a tear off my cheek. "I love you too" I whispered.

He stayed with me for the rest of the day, taking care of me. I felt so safe with him. Eventually he noticed the cuts on my arm. He looked sad when he saw them and got bandages for me. Later that night I climbed in bed and Jax climbed in with me. He played with my hair until I fell asleep.

When I woke up I saw Jax still sleeping. He was so cute. I cuddled closer next to him when he woke up."Mornin Pom Pom" Jax said with a tired smile. "Morning Jax." "Do you think your up to going to Caine's game today?" He asked. "Yeah" I said sighing.

We got up and left. Something about being in the same clothes and not having to do regular hygiene makes for a very quick morning routine. As we were walking there, I stayed very close to Jax. He noticed and put me on his shoulder. "Probably hard to keep up with me with those short legs of yours" he said smirking. "Your just mad I'm older than you." I replied with. Jax gave a small laugh and walked over to everyone. They stared at me for a second and went back to there conversation. Jax put me down and went to talk to Caine. Is it weird I missed Jax the second he left? Is it normal to feel that way about someone? Ragatha pulled me over. "You love Jax?! Really?" She said. I was caught off guard that she knew this, but answered with "Yes he is really nice once you get to know him. Also he just acts differently around me, more...sweet." "Ok, I guess we all are pretty f$#%ed up in our own ways. Are you ok after what happened yesterday? do you want to talk about it?" She asked looking concerned. "no" I said plainly as Jax walked over. Everyone set there attention on the stage as Caine walked on about to announce todays game...

Jax's pov:
The fist thing I thought about when I woke up was that it was Pomni's 100th day here. Uhh! I need to get over her, she clearly isn't interested in any relationship right now. But even if we couldn't be like that I still wanted to be her friend, so I went to check if she was having a mental break down from realizing she really can't leave. I grabbed the key to her room and left. As I opened her door despair washed over me. Pomni was glitching! "Pom Pom! Cmon you have so much to live for." I pleaded starting to cry. Then I realized something, I couldn't live without her. I had to tell her how I felt just so she knew she had someone to live for. "I love you Pomni." I said hoping she would feel the same. She walked up to me and did something that completely caught me off guard. She kissed me. It made me turn red but I leaned in closer. I didn't even notice her glitching stopped. I grabbed her by the waste wanting the kiss to never stop, but she pulled away and I wiped a tear off her cheek. "I love you too." She whispered

I stayed with her for the rest of the day to make sure she was ok. I found cuts on her arm. It hurt to know how desperate she was to leave this place. I went to go get bandage's from Ragatha, she always had stuff like that. "Who are these for?" She asked. I told Ragatha everything and told her let everyone else know so they would be easier on Pomni and stuff like that. She of course agreed. I went back to the room and bandaged her up.

Later that night  I still didn't feel comfortable with leaving Pomni so I slept in her bed. I played with her hair until she fell asleep. She was so cute. I couldn't fall asleep though. My mind raced with a bunch of questions. What if I hadn't been there this morning? What if this happens again? I never want to leave her side. Eventually I fell asleep.

The next morning I woke up to Pomni awake and cuddling next to me. "Mornin Pom Pom" I said with a smile. "Morning Jax." "Are you up for playing Caines games today?" I asked. "Yeah" she said letting out a sigh. We got up and left. I saw her stay very close to me while we were walking so I picked her up. "Probably hard to keep up with those short legs of yours." I said grinning. "Your just mad I'm older than you." She said jokingly. Touché. I chuckled and walked in the room.

Everyone went silent for a minute, then went back to there conversation. I put Pomni down from my shoulders and went to go talk to Caine about how we should have a easier game today. "So Caine, as you know Pomni almost abstracted so I think the game should be easier today because of that."  "Oh, yeah your probably right. I wouldn't want another person abstracting so soon after Kaufmo abstracted. So yes I will make today's game a little easier." Caine replied with. Wow that was simple! I walked away to join the others. Caine went on the stage and announced the game...
