Sormik Circus Au (Mikleo x Sorey)

Act 5~ Getting To Know You

Sorey was walking down the street to get to work. People definitely were staring. It didn't make him nervous, exactly, it was just awkward.
He got to work shortly after, reporting to Gramps first thing. He was about to leave when he thought about earlier.
       "Oh and gramps do you think I could just start bringing my clothes to work instead of walking in them to work?"
"Why? Is the suit uncomfortable? Is it to small?"
"No it's just that- well I-."
"Oh, I get it now. People were staring right? Sorey I'm doing this because there will be lots people staring at you when you preform. You have to get used to it."
      "Oh so that's why. That makes sense. Well I guess the stares weren't to bad."
      "Thanks Gramps." And with that he was off to do his daily routine for this week.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

      Today was Friday, his last day of his first week. And the last day before he would get to practice magic tricks with Gramps.
      He felt good today, he decided that no matter what he would smile. It wouldn't always be huge but it would be there.
      He went to watch the trapezeist's morning practice as usual. If Gramps gave him the choice he would definitely choose their practice time in the afternoon.
      "Well if it isn't Sorey!" Lailah had come up with a different greeting each time he visited, he was kinda impressed.
      "Morning Lailah. How is practice going?"
      "Good, I'm up next and Mikleo and two other girls just finished."
       "Dang it I missed Mikleo's practice!"
      "Well that's good, good luck out there!"
      "Thanks!" She walked away to start her practice. Sorey remembered that Gramps had wanted him to ask Mikleo a question for him, so he went to find him.
      Sorey checked everywhere except the dressing rooms. He knocked twice on the door.
      "Can I come in?"
      "Sorey? Sure." He walked in and saw something that made his heart flutter. Mikleo sitting at his makeup desk, in a loosely buttoned white shirt, and booty shorts.
       Sorey realized he was staring, luckily for him Mikleo hadn't noticed.
       "Did you need something Sorey?" Mikleo looked up at him innocently.
        "Umm- I- Yeah. Gramps wanted you to come to his office sometime before two. But it's only 12 so you have some time."
       "Ok, thanks." Mikleo smiled at him.
       "Yeah! No problem- but I got to go, so see you later!" He said walking out as fast as possible. Leaving Mikleo a little confused but he shrugged it off.
       "I need to find a bathroom and fast. Oh why now? Actually I know why."
       After that whole ordeal was over and dealt with, he went back to his regular schedule. He passed Mikleo in the hallway and stopped him, thankfully he was back in his practice suit.
      "Hey. Mikleo?"
      "Yeah?"
      "Do you want to walk home with me today again?"
"Yeah, I would love to do that Sorey." He smiled and walked away. Sorey was pretty sure he could feel his heart melt inside him.
Before he went to get Mikleo, Sorey ran into Lailah.
"You know I haven't seen you stop smiling once since this morning. What's got you in such a good mood?"
"Oh, I don't know, I just felt really happy today so, I thought that I would just smile today. In truth I forgot about it, so I guess I just like to smile a lot."
"Oh really? Well I hope your day keeps staying great!" She walked off with a big smile on her face.
Sorey knew his day was going to get better, because he got to walk home with Mikleo.
Sorey had walked Mikleo home, asking him all sorts of little questions about himself along the way.
His favorite color? Blue. His favorite food? Any thing sweet. Pets? One, a cat named snowflake, but she had died. Full name? Mikleo Luzrov Rulay.
"His name is really pretty. And maybe he would like it if I got him some sweets from Alisha's bakery."
He was happy knowing more about him and that he would finally have some time off to rest.
But he could only think about Mikleo, he needed to talk to someone, so he called the only person he could think of, Rose.
When Rose came over and they got settled on the couch, Sorey spilled everything, Everything.
Everything he was thinking, everything he was feeling, he needed this. It made him feel better.
Rose listened closely nodding and quietly giggling when he was talking about what had happened earlier today.
Finally it was Rose's turn to speak.
"Well, I don't know what you want me to tell you but I'm going to say, you've fallen hard for Mikleo, and you should just ask him out."
"Ask him out!? Well I want to, bet he might think it's to soon. Maybe after the first show?"
"The first show?"
"Yeah the first show that I'll be in with Gramps and them is two weeks from now."
"Already? Wow look at you doin so well! I'll have to come and see it. But why after the show?"
"Well he is going to try a new trick Gramps told him to learn and he's been working really hard on it. I know he'll perfect it so I'll ask him out after!"
"Well it's not the worst plan you've come up with, so I say go for it!"
Rose decided to stay for a little longer, the two of them watching shows till she had to leave to go to bed.
That night he laid in bed smiling to himself till he fell into a peaceful sleep.
Sorey could have sworn that the days leading up to his first show were longer, more tiering, more stressful, and it was making it hard for him to wait.
Finally after days of practice and hard work he was ready for his first show. It was tomorrow, Rose and Alisha said they were coming too.
But no matter what bad or worrying thoughts popped into his head, he was just to excited for the show and the events to follow that they wouldn't even phase him.
