Sahed x Y/n (gender neutral) (from Marionetta Webtoon)

☆ Part 3 ☆

It must have been a dream come true if that was the case because when you slowly woke up you could hear unfamiliar voices around you.

"The poor dear sure is taking their sweet time to wake up" a sweet voice said in concern

"They'll be fine." You heard Sahed reassure.

"If they don't wake up soon we'll have to get creative..." You heard another girl say.

"On it!" Sahed ran off.

"Don't you dare" the same sweet voice scolded as his footsteps reapproached.

"Just in case" you could hear that Sahed was grinning just by his voice.

You finally opened your eyes, only to see Sahed standing directly behind your head, holding a bucket of water. You must've been laying down because people were standing all around you. Since Sahed was behind you he appeared to be upside down in your vision. His hair had moved off of his forehead as he looked down at you, revealing that he had a third eye.

You had been told all your life that the people with three eyes, the Ah'kon, were bad. Evil magic users or some sort of propaganda like that, but somehow it didn't bother you. You sort of just looked up at him, dumbfounded by the fact that you didn't notice it before because of how his hair covered it.

"Oh the poor dear is too stunned to speak" someone around you said.

"Hehe, oh... surprise?" Sahed added the last part hesitantly as he realized that you didn't know his secret before now and smiled at you sheepishly, hoping you would be ok with him.

"Surprise indeed" you chuckled as he continued to stare down at you.

You decided that the circus was magic, which was already illegal enough, so it didn't really matter if the people in it were technically allowed to be there anyway. It seemed that everyone here was full of surprises and now you were breaking the law as well just by existing.

"Perfect timing!" The girl with the sweet voice smiled at you. She was pale with freckles all over her and short pink hair.

Sahed quickly set down the bucket and it sloshed as it touched the ground. You guessed that he was going to pour water on you if you didn't wake up.

"Were you really going to dump that on me??" You stared up at him.

"It was a possibility... it usually doesn't take that long for people to wake up" he smiled innocently.

"Where am I anyways??" You sat up so you could look around. The bright lights were beaming down on you so it was hard to really see your surroundings, the floor was sand but you were definitely indoors.

"The circus!" The pink haired girl known as Dotty answered happily.

"I know that! But where in the circus?? This definitely isn't the same room as the one I was in before... how'd I get here?" You couldn't remember anything after you... died. It was still weird to think about the fact that you were dead.

"We're in the main circus tent, the big top!" The girl with yellow flowers on her outfit explained.

"Tonny made me carry you back but didn't say where exactly to bring you" Sahed shrugged.

You felt your face warm up a bit at the thought of Sahed carrying you through the circus but quickly pushed the thought away.

"So he came and dumped you on the ground... poor dear" Dotty pointed out, taking pity on you as you sat on the floor.

"I didn't know where to put them!! I don't usually have to carry people around... not that I minded" he smiled at you.

"Sahed..." Dotty face-palmed and shook her head.

"Ok, ok." He rolled his eyes before offering you a hand. You stared up at him as he stood there with his hand out at you.

"Would you like to get off of the ground?" He smirked, knowing that you were confused by his actions.

"Oh... sure, right." You were embarrassed that you didn't pick up on that. You reached out and took his hand.

Just your luck, as you stood up the bucket of water got knocked over and spilled onto you. Now you had water and sand from the floor all over your clothes. Unfortunately for you this was also the only outfit you had at the moment.

"Real smooth Sahed" the flower girl commented.

"Shut up Kamille! Sorry about that y/n" he turned his attention back to you.

"It's all good" you said sarcastically, looking at your dirty clothes, not to mention that the water was really cold as well.

"Ok I get it, come on" he grabbed your wrist and led you somewere. You looked around as he guided you through the circus, this place was huge.

Eventually he stopped at a room and went in, the room was mostly green and purple themed and had a similar magic feel to it. It must be his room.

"Whaaaat are we doing here" you looked around. He walked over to a closet and dug around, he kept glancing over at you and you tried to act like you didn't notice.

'Why does he keep looking at me?' You thought, trying not to assume anything.

"Here!" He tossed an outfit at you that he thought might sort of fit.

'Ooh that's why' you realized that he was just trying to figure out what might fit you.

"Oh thanks" you caught the clothes, then you both just stood there.

"Uhmm..." You didn't know where to go change and you certainly weren't going to do so right there.

"Right, sorry" he walked over to the corner, then turned around, facing the wooden wall, following the patterns of the wood with his eyes while he waited.

You changed as quickly as possible, then folded up your other clothes. The outfit he had given you was still too big so you rolled up the legs of the pants so you wouldn't trip on them and tucked in the shirt so it wasn't obvious that it was almost to your knees.

"Are you done yet?" He asked from where he was standing.

"Yeah" you were still messing with the sleeves, which was hard because they were too long and blocked your hands, making rolling them up a challenge.

"Cute" he laughed, walking over to you. He helped you roll up the sleeves so it almost looked like the clothes fit you. It was hard to tell if the comment was sarcastic or if he actually found it cute, or possibly a bit of both, because his usual tone of voice always seemed borderline sarcastic.

Some of the circus members were eating a late dinner tonight so you and Sahed joined them, again he took your hand and led you there because you had not a clue where you were going.
