They Still Think This is a Dream (Jax x Reader)

A Step

JAX'S POV:

"WAKE UP JAX!" Caine exclaimed, scaring me awake

I sat bolt upright in bed, breathing heavily. I looked out the window and saw that the digital sun was barely over the overly saturated horizon. Why was he in here this early?

"Ugh. What do you want, denchers?" I asked groggily as I rubbed my eyes and cheeks.

"Well, I just wanted to ask you..." He whooshed forward and got up in my face. I lazily pushed him away. "Are you and Y/N like... a thing?"

"What? No! What makes you think that?"

"Remember what I said when you first dropped into the circus? I've got eyes everywhere, my friend. I saw what happened at the karaoke night."

I blushed slightly. "Ever heard of privacy?" I sighed. "Why are you asking me this?"

"Well, the next adventure I'm planning on is.. A DANCE!"

"Yeah, no thanks." I hopped out of bed, pushing him aside.

"Wait, Jax!"

"What is it now?"

"I think you should ask Y/N to be your date to the dance!"

"I'm sorry, what?"

"It would give you two a chance to bond more! Since you guys have.. already held hands and all- I feel it'd be a great opportunity to possibly kickstart a relationship!"

"Yeah, that's not happening." I started shoving him out the door.

"Well you have 4 hours to make a decision!"

I slammed the door behind him. This is none of his business.. but maybe asking her isn't such a horrible idea..

Y/N'S POV:

I woke up to a bright, sunny room then stumbled out of bed, ready to start our normal routine, but when I opened the door I saw Jax standing right outside, towering over me and his fist in the air as if he was about to knock.

"Uhhh.. Good morning..?"

"Oh. Hi."

"Did you need something?"

"..Nope." Jax then turned around and walked away.

I stared after him confusedly then just shrugged it off and entered the main room.

I CAN'T WRITE WHILE LISTENING TO HUNICAST BRO- 😭

"Today I have an extra special adventure for you all today!" Caine exclaimed as soon as everyone was in the main room.

"You say that every day..." Zooble mumbled.

"Right you are, Zooble! But, I mean it's extra, EXTRA special!"

Zooble groaned.

"Today's adventure is.."

Bubble then made a drum appeared and started a drumroll.

"A prom!!"

Me and Zooble spat out our orange juices.

"WHAT?!" We yelled in unison.

"You heard me! A prom! A dance! So, instead of the afternoon, we'll have the adventure tonight!"

Me, Zooble and Pomni were left speechless.

"Aww how wonderful! I haven't been to a dance in ages!" Ragatha said excitedly.

Jax rolled his eyes. "Dances are stupid. You're forced to choose someone to take with you and there's so much hype when in the end you just stand around with your date."

"Who said anything about needing a date? You can always go alone." Pomni piped up.

"Alright, you have a point for once." Jax folded his arms then glanced over at me.

"I've never been to a dance before."

"Really, Y/N?" Jax then leaned over and whispered in my ear: "Cause with a girl as pretty as you, I'm surprised you're single."

I blushed lightly and playfully shoved Jax away with a grin.

After a little bit, everyone left to go do their own things, like figuring out what they're gonna wear, how they're gonna style their hair (if they have any), and who they're gonna take to the prom. The only people left in the main room was me and Jax.

I was sitting in a beanbag making doodles in my sketchbook.

Jax walked over and plopped himself down next to me.

"Umm.. Hello."

"Whatcha drawin'?" He rested his head on my shoulder and peered down at my little doodles.

"Just whatever."

"Is that me?" He pointed to one drawing in particular.

"Yeah."

Jax hummed.

"Can I see your paper a sec?"

"Yeah?"

He took my notepad out of my hands and shielded it away from me. He was drawing very fast whatever it was.

A few seconds later he handed it back with a smirk. I was a little skeptical but took it back anyways. When I looked down to see what he drew I drew in a small gasp and my cheeks turned bright pink.

In sloppy handwriting was written "I can't think of anything smooth this fast, so I'll get straight to the point. Do you wanna go to prom with me?"

I quickly looked over at him, blushing, and grinning ear to ear. "I would love to."

I suddenly hugged him. He was a little stunned at first but soon returned the hug even tighter.

It was finally time to choose our outfits we were gonna wear for the dance.

*Ragatha decided to take Kinger to the prom with her, Gangle was gonna take Zooble with her (begrudgingly), Pomni decided to go alone, and Jax was officially taking Y/N.

* NONE OF THESE ARE DATES EXCEPT FOR JAX AND Y/N. EVERYONE ELSE JUST DECIDED TO TAKE EACH OTHER AS FRIENDS

"For the dance, I'm providing you all with a giant, specially customized wardrobe to your own likings! You can find them in your rooms! Time to get ready my little go-getters!"

After Caine shooed us off to our rooms, I started to get excited for the dance. I wondered what everyone was gonna wear, what music they would play, and what it would look like. I've never been to a prom before.

As I was thinking about the dance, there was one thing I couldn't ignore.

I don't know how to dance.

As we were all walking to our rooms, I gently tugged on Ragatha's sleeve.

"Whatcha need, short stuff?" She asked cheerfully.

"Uhm.. I was thinking.. I don't know how to dance and I was wondering if you could..?"

"Teach you how to dance!" She finished, holding her hands together against her cheek. "Of course I can! Here, come to my room and I'll show you some moves!"

I smiled then took the hand that she offered, then she led me inside her room.
