The Circus Act (North Italy x Reader x South Italy)

Chapter 1

> Narrator (my) P.O.V <

You were nervous, actually that was an understatement, you were close to hyperventilating, you had joined the circus a while ago and were sure of you act, but you had stage fright. The nightmare of every performer at a circus, though you had received encouragements from everyone of your friends, you couldn't suppress the nervousness. You act would be the third after introductions, you were to showcase a fire poi dance together with your partner Bradyn (Brae-din).

You walked up to the dark haired male and tapped on his shoulder, he turned and smiled down at you "What up (n/n)? Are ya' ready for our act?" he asked, crossing his arms confidently.

"Of course, I came to ask you." you smirked, giving him the same arrogant demeanor.

"Aww, don't be so mean to me." he replied wiping a fake tear from his cheek, before lightly punching your shoulder.

You giggled at his child like personality "We better get ready, only one more act before ours and I still need to change, so do you." you stated walking off to your sleeping quarters, where you costume was already prepared.

You reappeared at the same time as Bradyn both in your matching costumes. Yours was made a stringy black and gold skirt, with a matching black and gold top that covered you chest and exposed your stomach. Your counterparts costume was made up of a black and gold vest featuring the same strings as your skirt and tight fitting black pants with a golden belt. Both of you bore an armband yours was wrapped around your upper arm and was black with a golden feathers, Bradyn's fit snug around his wrist it was a black leather band.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, our next act is a daring fire dance duet. Please give a round of applause for our (y/n) and Bradyn." the beamers had been turned off for your performance and you snuck to the middle of the performance circle.

Music began to play in the background and the lights went out, I didn't like the dark, however my attention was drawn to the center of the circus tent, were slowly charcoal was lit up with flames, illuminating a beautiful girl. She began to twirl and bend, skillfully waving the fire fans around her, drawing figures in the sky. The fire dissapeared only for a second figure to appear. He had dark brown hair from what I could see and began using fire poi, letting the chains spin around his body and hands. Then his fire also was turned off, again the girl came with the fire fans, but this time the male danced with her lifting her as she continued her graceful moves. Their act ended when the flames did, and the beamers flashed on again, it took me a little while to get my eyes adjusted to the brightness and when I did I was greeted with a marvelous view. The girl, (y/n) I assumed, that had been so graceful in her moves was standing beside the male, Bradyn, and was smiling gleefully while waving to the crowd.

"Hey Lovino, look at the girl, I wonder if she likes pasta." I tapped my brother, beside me while smiling up at him "What do you think?" I asked.

"I don't know, now pay attention, we came here only because you wanted to see the circus not some ragazza." Lovino replied, forcing me to look back to the where the performers were. (Ragazza = Girl in Italian)

I risked a small peek back at my brother only to find him with slightly red cheeks staring down at (y/n), I growled slightly under my breath, thought I was unsure why, I shrugged my shoulders and looked back to the performances.

> Lovino's P.O.V <

The performance was breathtaking, though in my eyes so was the girl, I was irritated when my brother asked me about her liking towards his favorite dish. I scoffed silently and turned back to the center of the tent, catching a glimpse of (y/n)'s (h/c) strands trail behind her as she leaves the rink. I frowned at the scene, I wanted to see more of the performance, my hope for a second performance from her was shattered when a, male, lion tamer entered the rink I grunted and fell back into my seat.

"This is so boring, Feliciano why don't we just go?" I whined slightly, wanting to leave the haunting image of the girl behind.

"But it's so fun." he replied, smiling at me once again.

"Fine." I growled trying to remove (y/n) from my mind, but to no avail, "What is this?" I asked myself.

"It's a lion tamer." Feliciano told pointing to the female lion which was currently jumping through hoops of fire.

"I know that, bastardo." I snapped, but the boy seamed to not register my sharp tone and simply let out an 'oh' before looking back to the lion.

> Time Skip: End of Circus (Still Lovino's P.O.V) <

I sighed as we left through the lit entrance, I was silently hoping that all the performers would come out and show themselves again, but there was none of that. I couldn't keep my thoughts away from the mysterious fire girl, I felt that I would meet her again, that I had to meet her again. My premonitions would soon be verified, as I caught a glimpse of shining (h/c) hair, in my peripheral vision. Despite my thinking that it could have been someone other than I thought I walked towards where I had seen the strands, thinking that I could meet (y/n) face to face.

> Narrator's P.O.V <

You were wandering around the various tents of the circus, greeting any performers that came your way and helped out any that became lost. Currently you were thinking about your own performance, it had gone better than expected and you thought that it would have caught the attentions of the many visitors. Of course you had no idea how much attention you gained from two specific brothers. You had just rounded a corner, when you bumped into whatever stood behind it, you fell onto your behind and heard a second 'plop' in front of you. Looking to the front to see what object had fallen over you came face to face with a male you had never seen before. He had dark brown hair with an interesting curl sticking out to the side and amber green eyes, his clothes were very natural consisting of a simple brown and white striped dress shirt and black dress pants.

"Scusa, I didn't see you." he spoke with an Italian accent.

(Scusa = Sorry in Italian)

The male stood up extending a hand towards you "Thank you." you mumbled as he lifted you to your feet, "I should watch where I am going next time." you noted. You looked back at the unknown person "Excuse me, but what are you actually doing here? This is the performers section of the circus, customers shouldn't be here." you asked "And you don't look like a visitor either." you added suspiciously.

"Oh no, I just got lost." he stated scratching the back of his head, "I saw your performance, (y/n) right?" he asked and received a nod from you "You did really well." he complimented, not stoping the scratching.

"Lovino, what are you doing here? I was looking for you." a second Italian voice sounded, followed by the pitter patter of running footsteps.

Another male appeared this one was very similar to the first, though his hair was lighter and he had brown eyes. He also wore similar clothes his consisted of a blue and black striped dress shirt and also black dress pants.

"I got seperated from you and when I looked you were gone and I got lost all because of you, bastardo." the first brunette scolded.

"Aww, but fratello, you liked the circus too right? So don't be so angry." the smaller, second, brunette returned a shine in his eyes as they landed on you. "You're (y/n) right? I thought you were amazing." he bubbled as he ran up to you and held your hands in excitement.

(Fratello = Brother in Italian)

"Yes and thank you, but now I need to show you out, as I explained to your fratello, this place is off limits to customers." you stated, and began to walk to the exit of the performers compound, listening intently for the following footsteps.
