Entertain Me (SkyMU)

Chapter 5 (CherryTree132)

{Before I get started, I'd like to say; hey, I'm Alyssa and I'm bad at writing so beware.}

||Jason's POV||

"Jason, I've found my queen." Mitch proudly exclaims, a small smile forming as the tips of his lips curl slightly upward.

I couldn't help but smile half-heartily back. After a seemingly long time of searching, Mitch had finally found the one that is willing to be called Mitch's queen. Seems like years since we've communicated like this.

"That's... That's wonderful, Mitch." I chuckle lightly, reassuring him with a brief hug, trying to take his mind off of our previous topic.

"I know, is it not?" Mitch stifles a laugh, his cheeks turning a rare shade of pale light coral, right on his rather high cheek bones. Mitch stares at the ground and does his best to avoid eye contact with me, for he knows he'd surely be criticized.

"Aww, Mitch! I've never seen the fluffy, soft side of you like this. I would certainly love to meet this charming gentleman." I bow jokingly, making him stand up straight and his smile to disappear, trying to hide his already spreading blush.

He knows I can tell, because a smirk forms on my face and he sighs in response. "I know, Jason. Not many people know about this side of me," he starts, staring deeply into my blue eyes with his amber ones before grabbing the collar of my shirt. "And I'd sure like to keep it that way."

I struggle to get out of his deathly choke grasp before slipping free, a look of regret on Mitch's face. That's a new one too. Better keep an eye on this new guy. He seems like he's got Mitch put into some type of trance.

"L-let's just go check up on him, if you'd like to take a visit. Possibly." Mitch sheepishly half-whispered before standing up and looking down at me.

"Uh, one thing before we go... Do you happen to have a white tux, a hot pink dress shirt, or black dress shoes?" I ponder out loud, feeling a bit awkward having to ask this question towards one of his allies.

"Uh... I believe so. Why?" Mitch asks, cocking an eyebrow and giving me an unsteady look.

"Well... It's a long story but... A prisoner was brought off the streets today and... He's actually very hilarious. He would like to become my joker in exchange for his life." I realize how harsh it sounds when the words had already left my mouth.

"Hmm... Would you like to bring him along?" Mitch asked, nudging my shoulder and winking his left eye at me.

"Why not," I worriedly smile at him, obviously not catching his drift. He rolls his eyes and gets up, ready to meet Adam.

I straighten up, stiffening my shoulders to prove my royalty in front of this helpless subject to my kingdom. "Adam, this is Mitch. King of the Diamond Kingdom. He has honorably invited us over to meet his new queen. You will be coming with us to his castle and will be preforming for the three of us, and that's an order. Mitch, lead the way."

"This better be a good show," I whisper to Adam quietly, alomost under my breath as Mitch already starts to take the lead.

I see Adam stiffen up and swallow a lump in his throat, and I couldn't help but feel a little bit sorry for him. I mean, of course he is my prisoner, and I was going to chop his head off, but I can still have my thoughts.

Just because I am a king doesn't mean I cannot have sympathy for one of my subjects.

As we arrive at Mitch's ginormous castle, I slip my hand over Adam's and guide him in, making sure he doesn't get lost, sidetracked, or hurt in any way.
