Sahed x reader (from Marionetta Webtoon) (gender neutral reader)

Part 2

You had just been informed that your new act in the circus was going to be with Sahed, 

'because why wouldn't it be??' You thought angrily as you left. Of course out of all of the people here, you would get stuck with him again. 

Why was it always him?

You stormed back to your room because there was still an hour before the rehearsal for the new act. You still didn't understand why you needed a new act or why you couldn't just have another solo act but Tonny was insistent that this would be good for the circus or publicity or something like that. You walked quickly into your room, throwing the door open and going straight to flop face first onto your bed. 

"F*<K!!" You shouted into the bed, your voice slightly muffled by the blankets 

"so I'm assuming you just found out" you heard Sahed's voice, he sounded mildly amused as he sat down on your bed next to you. You sat up, not realizing that he was in the room that whole time

 "Yeah. So you already knew?" You asked, noticing how he didn't seem surprised 

"Found out last night." He said simply 

"And you didn't think to tell me??" You were annoyed with him for not mentioning it 

"Not like you would've believed me anyway. Tonny decided it'd be better to wait as long as possible, knowing how you'd react." He explained in a sort of condescending manner. You just huffed in reply 

"He said it's an aerial act" you were processing out loud at this point 

"What? You don't wanna fly through the air with me" he fake pouted 

"Do you even know how to do aerial stuff?" You asked, thinking over the new act 

"I've been here a while, I basically know how to do all of it at this point" he replied which you also found annoying because he said it in a very bragging way. 

"Great." Was all you had to say 

"great indeed, now get out." He told you, changing the subject 

"Excuse me? This is my room, I don't have to leave" you were even more annoyed by the fact that he tried to tell you what to do 

"Our room" he corrected "and I'm working on a new seal right now, I need to focus" he explained 

"So?? I don't see how that my problem-" he cut you off by putting his hands on your shoulders and sort of pushing you to the door. 

"See you in less than an hour. Goodbye" he said once you guys had reached the door 

"Rehearsal is in half an hour. There's no point in kicking me out, you'll have to go soon anyways" you attempted to reason 

"Fine. If you're really that desperate to hang out with me~" he leaned a little bit closer for the last part 

"Nevermind!" You said quickly, turning around and leaving. 

"Where are you going? Rehearsal is in half an hour??" He called mockingly after you 

"Out." You gave him a very short answer on purpose. You wanted to be alone for a while before you had to deal with the rehearsal so you decided to just go walk around. You had planned to just sit in your room but then got stuck talking to him so you decided that walking was a better option at this point. Somehow he always got to you, very rarely did you 'win one of these arguments or whatever they were meant to be. Something about him just threw you off and you couldn't think when he messed with you, not to mention that he was incapable of keeping his hands to himself. 

He was always too quick to grab your hand or shoulder or wrist if he wanted you to come or go somewhere or to stop you from doing something. You needed to stop thinking about him so instead you thought over the act, an aerial act, meaning that you'd be suspended above the ground in some way. Unfortunately you never got all of the details because of the fit you threw. 

The more you thought the more you realized that Tonny had a pretty good idea in theory, you probably should apologize for your attitude about the whole thing earlier... You were a good aerialist and Sahed was definitely strong enough, not to mention that you guys looked pretty good together and were also some of the most popular members of the circus. The only issue was that you both couldn't stand each other and prior to this it had always been a bit of a competition between the two of you who was better. The thought of having to match outfits with him, pretend to get along, or how you were going to have to be close to him for the whole thing made you feel... annoyed? Sick? Nervous??... 

Something.
