(Y/n) woke at the crack of dawn, like usual to get a head start on the bath and food. The top ten got first dibs when it came to the food, but (y/n) liked to get ahead of the others. Aparently there was a mishap in the infirmary tent, though (y/n) didn't really care much for it.
Well that was until (y/n) headed to the main tent for practice, a crowd of preformers stood around Joker and two newcomers. One of them was the bloak in the tail coat from the night before and a small boy dressed in blue and white.
Joker gave a smile, gesturing to the two "Everybody, we have some talented new mates joinin' our great show" Joker said "Allow me to introduce Black"
Black gave a smile "Hello I'm Black, it is a pleasure to meet you all"
"And theres the wee one over here, say hi to Smile" Joker said
Smile looked like he would rather be anywhere else at the moment, but apon hearing his name his expression turned to suprise.
"Smile!?" he said
"Go on now, lets give em a warm welcome!" Joker said.
The crowd welcomed them in, but by this time (y/n) had already left the crowd. A few minutes had passed and Joker had done began to give the newcomers a tour. (Y/n) had headed up to the tightrope to make sure everything was secure for the other performers. He didn't want a mishap to happen to anyone. Joker, Dagger, Smile, and Black had made their way back to the main tent.
(Y/n) climbed down after making sure everything was safe and sound. Dusting of his hands once reaching the bottom, making his way towards the lot before him. (Y/n) was much shorter than Black and half as neatly dressed. Smile was much shorter than (y/n).
"Oi, havin' fun?" (Y/n) asked.
"Oh, Silver don't reckin' you met these two properly" Joker said "Black, Smile, this is Silver one of the main cast members."
Black smiles a little "oh, we finally meet" he said "I believe your the circus' prince"
(Y/n) chuckles lightly and puts a hand a hand on the back of his neck "thats just a title Joker gave me, just call me Silver Alright?"
"As you wish" Black replies.
"I have some business to attend to, Silver join Dagger and help these to get settled in" Joker said before walking off to join Beast.
"Alright you two, its good to meet ya' and all but we got work to do" (y/n) said.
"Any preferences?" Dagger asked.
"Preferably something less physicaly demanding" Smile said.
"Anything will do for me" Black replied.
"I'll teach Smile everything I know 'bout knife throwin' " Dagger said "what 'bout ya Silver?"
(Y/n) sighs "I'll be headin' to check on Doll and the others"
"Pardon my intrusion but you and Doll seem quite close" Black said
(Y/n)'s face heated up "I-its nothing more than partners and childhood friends" he said.
Black let out a small chuckle, "I see, if it isn't too much trouble I would like to ask for some help"
"Help? You're a bloody natural" (y/n) said.
"That maybe true but there is always room for improvement" He said.
"Alright fine, I'll help ya after checkin' on the others" (y/n) said "just lay off the teasin' "
After leaving the tent (y/n) headed out to check on the others, Jumbo was playing "Tom Tom, the pipers son" on a harmonica, Wendy and Peter were preparing for tonights show, Doll was no where to be found, most likely running around dressed as a boy.
(Y/n) hadn't been thinking as he walked, he loved being in the circus more than being on the streets. He just hated the toll it took for them to stay off the streets. After finishing his rounds, drinking a cup of water, (y/n) headed back to the main tent to help Black.
(Lowkey only did this little paragraph to save me the time of discribing Sebastian showing off).
Turns out Black was waiting for (y/n) at the entrance, Black honestly confused (y/n). Why would a butler, who probably made more money in one night than any of the shows did in a year, would join a circus?
"Ah Silver," Black gave a smile.
"Black, what did you want to practice?" (Y/n) asked
"Actually I was hoping to ask you a few questions" he replied.
(Y/n) got a little nervous, "um sure, what would you like?"
"Why did you join a circus? Youre a young boy after all" Black asked.
(Y/n) lets out a sigh, reaching behind his head and untieing his eyepatch. He didn't usually show this to the preformers but something about Black made (y/n) want to open up to him.
"All the top tier preformers are broken in some way" (y/n) said "we have been this way since we met....."
(Y/n) stopped himself, he knew he would end up making Joker and the others mad if he said more. He quickly put his eyepatch back on, in an attempt to change the subject.
"You and Smile seem close" (y/n) said.
Black looked at him, before stepping close and placing a hand on (y/n) cheek. (Y/n) couldn't move, his mind told him to get away but his body had other plans.
"You shouldn't hide your eye, if it is real or fake it is still part of your body" Black said in a soothing voice.
Black then gives a warm smile, turning and heading inside. Leaving (y/n) with a red face and nervous feeling in his body. Why did his body submit to Black? Why did Black care what happened to (y/n)?
(Murder, kidnapping, flirting demons. All this in the next episode of Dragon ball Z [lol had too])
