The Clown & The Dancer

Pizza sauce

Ballora's shift eventually ended. She hadn't seen the ringleader once since she parkoured her way out of their conversation. That was still really weird. And slightly impressive.

She decided she should just go to Ennard instead, seeing how the ringleader seemingly evaporated into thin air.

The dancer eventually found Ennard. He was in the kitchen stuffing his face with pizza, and getting it everywhere. Evvvvverywhere.

"Hello Ennard."

He turned around, there was pizza sauce. ALL over his mask.

"oh, hey Ballora. What's up?" He greeted, while simultaneously shoving more pizza into his mouth.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"I dunno. Probably." She was going to take that as a yes.

"What were you and Baby yelling about earlier?"

"Oh, we werf talffing aboot hurw bby hasf a way ass wrush on wa."

"I'm sorry, what did you just say?"

Ennard swallowed the food in his mouth. "I said, we were talking about how Baby has a gay ass crush on ya."

Ballora choked. That was a rather blunt response.

"I'm sorry, WHAT?"

"My sister is super gay for ya, and thinks you're cute." He said much more slowly.

Oh God, she wasn't expecting that. Wow. That was.. wow. Was Ennard being serious right now?

"You're messing with me, aren't you?" She barely managed to get out.

"Nope." He said, popping the p. He grabbed a soda out of the fridge, and left without another word. Leaving Ballora to process what he just said.

~time skip magic~

"YOU TOLD HER WHAT?!"

"I told her ya like her."

"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!"

"Because she wanted ta know what we were talking about."

Baby groaned. "I'm so fucked." She let herself fall face first onto the floor. Ennard lightly kicked her on her side. "C'mon little sis, don't be like that. I'm sure she likes ya too." Baby partially pushed herself off the cold floor to look at her brother. "Oh yeah? What did she say after you told her that?"

Ennard pulled at the gauze wrapped around his palms. "She made a weird choking sound and asked if I was serious."

"Well, that's a good sign." She replied, her voice oozing with sarcasm. She let her face smack against the tile floor again.

"You're such a negative nancy."

"No, I'm a gay ass piece of shit who likes her best friend."
