Its been a few months since Jax had experienced the biggest and heaviest karma of his life so far in the circus.
Things were back to normal- well as normal as normal can be in this place. His interactions with Gangle were relatively normal, he still messed with her, tho didn't dare to push her buttons too hard after what happened. At the end of the day it took only for him to step slightly out of line in order to get that menacing stare from Gangle as a warning.
The others did notice his slight change in behavior, and it was not only the fact he went easy with his teasing and jokes on her, no. He acted off no matter how hard he tried to cover it up with stupid jokes and a fake confident Jerky personality.
Whenever he was in the presence of her he would- crouch? It was unusual. But seeing Gangle stand taller than him felt suspicious to the others.
One slight movement of her arms and he would flinch.
One slight raise of her tone and his voice was shaking.
Tho Gangle didn't get mad often, when she did it was hell on earth. Everyone knew that. There was more to her than what she presented. But even so, Jax was acting way too off.
Ragatha was the first to notice but didn't think much of it. She thought to herself that maybe he was mocking Gangle by acting scared or some wierd thing like that.
The others just thought he was losing his mind.
And talking of him, here he was laying in his bed. It was morning and he was starring at the ceiling as the sun rays fell onto his skin, warming up the now faded wounds, or how he loved to call them, "a reminder of Gangles love" . He didn't know if he liked the power dynamic he had with Gangle or if it scared him. Or both?
All he could think about was how good it felt when she praised him. "Good boy." was a sentence he keept repeating to himself, Imagining it was her saying it to him. He would often help her with small stuff to get praised, of course when no one else was around. After all the others didn't have to know about how desperate he was for her validation.
All the sudden he heard some sort of commotion coming from outside. He went out of bed, out of his room, and into the hallway.
Walking towards the group, he noticed everyone staying in a circle around pomni. Who once again was endlessly rattling about her stupid exit, claiming to have seen it.
"I SAW IT! I SWEAR THERE IS AN EXIT! IF YOU GUYS COULD JUST- "
her ranting was stopped by Jax's sudden approach
"Morning ladies. I see we having another delulu episode"
he cracked up a laugh wich was cut short by Gangle slapping his arm.
"Stop it! She's not feeling well."
Gangle exclaimed.
"IM NOT FEELING WELL? YOU GUYS ARE THE DELUSIONAL ONES! JUST GIVING UP ON YOUR FREEDOM LIKE THIS!"
Pomni's freakout just caused everyone to look at her with a worried expression and pity, except for Jax who was smiling ear to ear, trying his hardest not to laugh. For him this was amusing.
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ALL?" pomni continued her freak out
"DO YOU LIKE BEING USED? DO YOU LIKE BEING SLAVES?"
Jax blushed embarrassed at that question. Knowing that if he really had to honestly answer it, he would be fucked.
On the contrary, this same sentence caused Gangle to Crack up a small smirk. She couldn't help herself from side eyeing Jax. As he looked at her he got even more flustered, wich made her Crack up a small laugh.
