[Completed] Jestro x Macy-The Princess And The Jester

Chapter 3 : Thank You Clay (Sorry, I only have this version of Jestro.)

Jestro's POV:
After the celebration ended, I went back to the fortrex. I sat on the sofa as I started playing Whack-Man. I wanted to temporarily forget about the crush but I kept losing in the game because I couldn't concentrate. I groaned a little. I was secretly pretty good at Whack-Man but now I am the one who kept losing at the game. I just couldn't forget about my crush on Macy. Her beautiful looks are unforgettable. I couldn't stop falling in love with her. Now I look like a mess. Not a man but a mess. What is with you Jestro? I asked myself in the heart. You didn't even have the guts to tell the princess that you love her. You look nothing like a man! That's not what a man would do.

I kept mumbling to myself about my cowardly actions as Clay walked in. He was chatting with Shia about my performance just now.

"Did you see that just now, Clay?" Shia asked him.

"See what, Shia?"Clay asked him back.

"The performance of the court jester, Clay," said Shia. "It was outstanding! The last time I saw him, he was like a nervous wreck. Now he's gone through quite a metamorphosis."

Hmm... Metamorphosis, huh? It reminds me of a forbidden power Monstrox made me collect a few months ago. I still think that we should at least get a power that turns lead into gold and not vice versa. But now, I think I shouldn't get any forbidden powers anymore because I am now free from evil. But I have to admit it, that power is pretty cool, in a bad way.

"Yeah," replied Clay. " He's changed a lot since the second time he's free from Monstrox' control. He's gotten much braver now, compared to the former him. I think he's preparing to seek revenge on Monstrox and to 'Jestroy' him completely."

"Ha ha!" Laughed Shia. "Since when did you have such great humor?"

"Don't ask me, ask Lance. He is currently teaching me about being funny. Be sure to watch his show. You know, 'Lancing with the Stars'?"

"Okay, I'll catch up to it," said Shia.

Shia and Clay had started becoming good friends since the last battle against the Colossus of Ultimate Destruction. They constantly talk about each other's background stories or anything that happened around them.

And now they are giving each other compliments about their performances just now.

I thought Clay didn't notice that I am here but I was wrong. He saw me by the time he came in with Shia and he seemed to have heard what I was mumbling about.

" Well I want to have a private conversation with Jestro now, so please wait for me outside. We'll go out for tea soon," said Clay.

"Okay!" said Shia.

Clay sat next to me as I continued playing Whack-Man.

"Hey, old friend," he said. "It seems that something's bothering you. What's the matter, old buddy?"

"Oh it's nothing really," I said.

"You... have a crush on Macy, didn't you?" he asked me.

Oh dear!

"What?!? No... Why would I anyway? I don't deserve to be with her,"I said as I started sweating.

"Oh, c'mon, Jestro, I saw you just now. You're blushing bright red," he said with a smirk. "And it's adorable."

"You're not helping, Clay..." I said.

"Admit it buddy," he said. "It's okay to have a crush on someone."

"Okay, fine..." I moaned. "I, Jestro the jester, harbored a crush, on Princess Macy Halbert of Knighton, and this statement is proven a 100% true, by yours truly, Jestro, the court jester of Knighton."

Clay giggled a little, which turned into a laugh.

"You're still not helping, Clay," I said, blushing.

"Okay,okay..." Clay said. " What do you want me to do now?"

"Please teach me how to tell her that I love her," I said.

"You mean... confess your love to her?" asked Clay.

"Yeah, don't question my grammar." I said.

" Nah, why would I do that?"asked Clay. "You're my best friend. Oh, by the way, why did you ask me instead of the other Knights?"

"You are a lot braver," I said.

"But Aaron is way braver than me," Clay said. " He's afraid of nothing, literally."

"Whatever," I said. "I heard that you had a crush on Macy too, is this true?"

"Yeah, but it's a long time ago," Clay admitted. "She's quite a beauty, especially in that blue gown she used to wear. She looks... elegant."

"That's what I told her," I said. "She didn't like it one bit."

"I know, right?"said Clay.

"So, what did you do?"I asked him.

"Well, I was very nervous so I didn't do anything," he said. "What a failure I am."

"Don't say that, Clay," I said.

"Well, whatever," he said. "But I can tell you what I should've done."

"Okay."

"I should've told her in the face that I love her, and I should've told her in the face that I mean what I say. And most importantly, I should've told her in the face that if we're together, I would give everything to her, protect her at any cause, and tell her that I love her just the way she is. Don't cry, Jestro," he said.

Well, too late.

"T-t-thank you so much, Clay," I said as tears rolled down my cheeks."I know what to do now."Then I swiftly dashed out of the fortrex to look for the princess.

"Oh my," Clay looked at me as he said. "I never knew that he could run so fast." He paused for a moment. Then, without any hesitation, he quickly dashed out of the fortrex to look for Shia LaBlade, who is waiting for him patiently so that they could go out and have tea together.

Clay:" SHIA........WAIT FOR MEHHHHHHH.........."
