Summary : Graduation Day was just around the corner but you didn't have the heart to enjoy it. So what do you do in these trying times? Seek out the comfort of your robot boyfriends, of course.
Notes : hiiiii y'all!! so i came up with this cuz my graduation convo's coming soon lol - anyways, enjoy <33
P/S : You can now buy merch for this AU here, thanks for your consideration in advance! :)
Who would've known… and who would've thought you'd make it through? Kudos to you!
Though it's a shame your old family wasn't able to join you on the day itself. A small prick at your heart made itself known over that fact.
Hm.
It's fine…or at least that's what you've told yourself since this all started anyways…
Shaking your head to rid yourself of the negative spiral that was bound to spill over the brim, you speedily straightened your tie and adjusted your cap. Then, looking into the mirror with a tight smile, you deemed yourself suitable for society. “Phew. O-kay. Nice thoughts. Nice thoughts…”, you muttered to yourself as you exited the bathroom, preparing a quick breakfast with some of your favourite cereal and some beverage of choice. Maybe orange juice? “Nah, that'd just be…”, you shivered, not wanting the taste of orange and toothpaste being combined. “Maybe some apple juice then!”, you switched fruit tactics and went with the safer option.
You poured some into a cup and chugged it down in one go. Ah, refreshing! “I'm going now.”, you whisper yelled to your plushies in your room. Imagining that they were saying, “See you again soon!”, you hurried down the stairs and took off to the pizzaplex.
----------------------------------
The constant buzz of people was enough to snap you out of your metaphorical funk as you weaved through the crowd to get to the backstage area. Placing your card against the clock card machine, you whispered a, “Hi Helpy.” before heading to the security office. So far, you've already made the arrangements and got your graduation robes ready, went through rehearsal… Absent-mindedly, you drew on your notepad in thought. And everything went well - as expected.
Nothing out of the ordinary except for yourself tripping a couple of steps during the practice walk. Shivers went down your spine as you remembered how you wanted to run off the stage and crawl into a hole somewhere to die of embarrassment alone. You thought better of it though and strided with what was left of your confidence. Mistakes happened, it wasn't that big of a deal… A mantra you repeated in your head as to avert the internal crisis.
“It's whatever.”, you sniffed indignantly. Yep. That's what you told yourself anyways. Your friends were quick to tease but then stopped once they noticed how stiff and awkward you seemed. “Hey, tomorrow's gonna be alright.”, “Better to mess up today than tomorrow!”, “We're right there with you…”s were thrown around immediately. “Thanks guys…”, was your lukewarm response. Perhaps you were just nervous. No. More like terrified.
Graduation Day was tomorrow.
Like seriously? Who allowed this to happen? And why?
Ugh.
You swiped a hand over your face in frustration.
To others, it's a day of celebration.
To you….
It felt complicated.
On one hand, you were labeled as someone who had accomplished their studies to the fullest. On the other, you were dreading the day as it was a blatant sign that you were on your own now. Like literally on your own now.
It still didn't feel real.
The responsibilities weighed upon you like a stack of bricks. Of course it was easier to ignore when you previously had lots of assignments to attend to…but the crushing and daunting reality that you truly were going to be on your own was never easy. “What comes next? You've been freed… Do you know how hard it is to lead?”, a voice sang in your ears. Man. This was bogus. Who in their right mind decided that it was all over already?
No more late nights spent doing homework. No more breakdowns after having several cups of energy drinks. No more lecturers disappointing you. It felt so surreal. And weird. And scary. It just…felt so normal at one point. A routine, if you will. Something that burdened yet relieved you. Sighs. This was never going to be easier, huh? Letting go seemed to be the worst of your troubles.
Flipping through the cameras to check in on your surroundings, you aimlessly did that for another two hours before heading out to do some patrolling. Walking might do you some good. Yep. Walking. Good. Thinking? Bad. So you shut off your mind for a bit to mingle with some of the regulars, asking them how they're doing and such. Some replies were vague while others were oddly specific. Varying degrees of good, bad and so-so. People living regular lives…people with a purpose walking through here like it's nobody's business.
No, wait. Nobody has life really figured out. They're just going through the motions. Just like you were. Sighsss. You just wanted the day to be over so you could get the graduation thing out of sight and out of mind forever already. You still had yet to reply to some of the juniors who had wanted to wish you congratulations too. It was sweet of them but you weren't in the right state of mind to reply yet.
----------------------------------
Pulling your weight around some more, you ended up wandering about for the whole day until 10pm, the automated announcement chiming in on time as always to announce that the pizzaplex was closing. Your final destination, “Kids Cove”, akin to a beacon of light for your lost ship. Home. Or well, your second home but you digressed.
All of the kids went home already, including the main kids - Hannah, Charlie, Colten, Cassie and Gregory. You were able to wave goodbye to them before they exited the area and it honestly cheered you up a little. Making your way to the gates, you adjusted your tie and recapped your head to make yourself more presentable.
One of the gates was opened just a tad to let blue fingers creep out of them before Eclipse’s faceplate showed up through the crack. A change of mood was visible as he then opened it fully to let you in. “My Angel-Eyes has arrived!”, he announced, happy to see you. Your face darkened in hue as you shushed him. “Okay, okay pipe your voice down!”, you closed your hands over his permanent smile.
“Oops. Right. Working hours.”, he reminded himself as he made a small kiss sound towards your hands, holding them steady with his own hands before giving them back to you. “A-As long as you understand.”, you stuttered, rubbing your nape nervously. With the daycare silent and unmoving without the kids, you welcomed yourself into their domain.
With a tilt of his head, he studied you intently for any signs of distress or ailment. Hm… Heartbeat spikes were present, perhaps due to his earlier actions or… “Moussecake… Is there perhaps something on your mind?”, he inquired slowly, gauging your reaction attentively. You blinked before turning around and biting your lips while casting your eyes towards your socks. Suddenly very timid. Double hm.
“I'm…”, you maintained your distance as you continued with a, “...worried.”, finally finding the courage to look Eclipse in the eyes again. While this distance was minimally harmless, you knew it was a habit you were actively trying to curb when you were upset. He excused that thought for now and went nearer into your bubble. Then, he uttered your name softly, coaxing you to let down your walls.
“We love you.”, he confessed. “And whatever you're worried about… we can fight it together.”, he offered. The tear that slipped from your left eye was not welcomed and very, very unexpected. His kindness in caring for you was also genuinely so touching. “Ugh…”, you groaned, feeling the tears running down your cheeks more rampantly now. As you cried, Eclipse calmly wiped away your tears and placed kisses where they ended.
“Shh… it's okay. Just cry. We've got you.”, he gently whispered, continuing the motions. “I'm just-”, you hiccuped before saying, “I'm graduating but I don't feel happy at all!” into his chassis. His arms wrapped around you now and his hands busied themselves with rubbing your back soothingly. “Why is that?”, he asked bluntly. “Because… because…”, you wailed at this point and he quickly smushed you against him further.
“Because I feel like I don't deserve it.”, you sobbed. “Sweetheart.”, you and I both know you deserve to graduate.”, he counter argued, forgoing the earlier rules. “But I! But I - I've done so much yet I'm never satisfied and - and I feel like redoing everything and I -”, you said in quick syllables, your breath choking up on itself as you felt your throat seize from the force of your sobs. At this point, he assessed that you were going to have a panic attack so he summoned the hook and promptly brought you to their bedroom.
You sniffled the whole way but quietened down somewhat after the shock wore off. “Please wait here. I'm going to get Alfredo.”, he rubbed a thumb under your eye before slinking off to find Head Chef Bot. You wrapped the blanket he kept up here around yourself and waited patiently. Not even 10 minutes passed by before you heard the jingle of his shoes at the entrance.
Alfredo walked in first, pushing back the curtains that hid this room. Then, he sprinted towards you when he noticed that your face was puffy with tear stained cheeks. Frantically, he signed if you were okay. “Yes, yes, I'm okay, Alfie.”, you tried to ease his worries to no avail. “Well, better now that you're here.”, you added with a lopsided smile. He pat your head afterwards. After a heartbeat or two, he signed, “Want to cuddle?” and you couldn't reject such an earnest request.
“I… that would be lovely, Alfie. Please do.”, you shyly accepted. With a hesitation of his own, he carefully stepped over you and took your left side to lay down on. The makeshift bed rustled as you made yourself comfy as well. Eclipse was still busy rummaging through his cubbies to get some snacks and water bottles for you but once he was settled on what to give you, he promptly joined and layed down on your right side. Afterwards, the boys each laid an arm around you.
“Comfy?”, Eclipse asked, subtly checking on your temperature. “Very.”, you sighed, melting in their embrace. “Good, good.”, he said while rubbing your tummy gently. “Now then, what else is bothering you?”, he settled his hand back on your left hip. “I … I don't wanna see certain individuals there.”, you spoke plainly, reminiscing on the teammates that inevitably disappointed you in group projects and the lecturers who lost your respect.
“That's understandable. From what we remember, you deeply detested some of these people.”, Eclipse whispered. “And hate is a strong word…”, you started, scrunching your eyebrows. “That and I hate despising people. It's not… it's not in my nature.”, you shifted a bit in their hold. “I also hate the extra baggage it gives me.”, you added for emphasis. “Oh darling dearest… you'll do just fine.”, he commented. “Besides, you won't ever have to see them ever again after this.”, he continued, the statement more of comfort than it was a fact.
Yet they haunt your nightmares.
But you decided not to divulge that info to him.
“Okay, okay… I'll believe in you this time.”, you rolled your eyes before giving him a small and exasperated grin. “Good girl.”, his voice lilted, patting your hip again. Then, Alfredo nuzzled your neck and you welcomed it, patting the side of his face tenderly. “Thanks boys… I really, really appreciate that you guys comforted me.”, you said honestly, bringing their faces closer to nuzzle into. The boys hummed happily and nuzzled back.
“Now, rest up. We'll let you go home soon.”, Eclipse promised while Alfredo nodded in agreement. “Okay, okay… I'm gonna rest my eyes for a bit then.”, you blew a raspberry before settling further into the cuddlefest. Both bots responded by hugging you tighter and the sound of their gears turning lulled you into a deep sleep.
Tomorrow will be fine.
You'll be fine, Starlight.
What mattered most was that your efforts were recognised and that they would love you with all their gears and wires regardless.

Disclaimer: This is only part one! I'll share more of my phone/phone-related headcanons of the other circus members later or add more to Pierrot's, Harlequin's, or Doctor's sections ^^
Pierrot
If Pierrot owned a phone, the screen would have a couple of cracks from being accidentally dropped or tapped too hard with his claws.
He would definitely have a handmade, custom phone charm with a little brigadeiro at the end of it. (Or he would love to be gifted such a phone charm, at least).
At first, he would easily fall for spam texts and scam emails. (Harlequin would tease him by claiming that they were real, which would freak Pierrot out).
His favorite social media app would be Pinterest, where he would find wonderful recipes and crafts to try out later, along with quotes and other things that he would definitely send to you.
Pierrot would use “pebbling” as a love language, sending you pictures or videos with messages like, “Hello my dear. This lovely ___ reminded me of you. I do hope that you enjoy it :) ❤️”
He would definitely be the type to mirror your texting style.
Harlequin
If Harlequin owned a phone, it wouldn’t have any cracks like Pierrot’s, but probably a couple of smudges.
No phone charm for him, but he would probably have a ring stand built in the case.
He keeps unflattering pictures of everyone on his phone, with you and Pierrot having the most.
When Ticket Taker and Jester found out about the embarrassing photos of themselves, they made Harlequin delete them immediately. (As a punishment, he had to do extra circus work/chores 💔)
Doctor wouldn’t care about any “bad” pictures Harlequin has of him. If anything, he would just be confused about why a 0.5x angle of his forehead is supposed to be funny.
The thing is...Harlequin knows how to take great photos. (The only catch is that almost all of his good photos are selfies, and he has far too many of them on his phone).
Doctor
If Doctor owned a phone, he would also have a stand built in the case.
He would need a larger phone screen or stylus because his fingers are too big for standard texting.
He would also have a phone charm, or at least, would like to be gifted one. (Unlike Pierrot’s however, Doctor's would feature a design based on one of his favorite bands or would be something cutesy).
He has a very dry texting style.
He has almost nothing saved in his phone’s camera roll.
He doesn’t understand the humor behind some memes Harlequin tends to send him and requires an explanation to get the joke.
Ohmygosh this is so fun! Love how Harley's got a buncha selfies of himself because ... Of coz he would and like the unflattering photos of everyone else is so hilarious to boot 🤣 I bet there's one or two of like those chin angles from below HAHSHHASHAHAA I'm laughing just thinking about itttt

I love this concept and I am totally in the same boat and would rather be perceived as an abstract concept than a person at this moment in my life lol.
I think I’d be a colorful newly built two story house with a bright red roof, with old musty clocks covering all of the walls, the only light comes from the open windows
@lexisrants @k4enobi @goldendaysforever @angiesbed @angelsblogs @ramonasinacoma and anybody else that sees :D
I love this and already percieve myself like this internally in a way
I’m the void / the abyss overall
I’m a place that seems miserable and lonely but if you pull back the curtain you see little floating lights in the dark. The place that isn’t so lonely, in the simplest way I can put it without it being a full poem
Overall, anyway. I also write lots of poetry about this subject
I am the vague melancholy that emerges a few moments after you’ve finished hugging someone you cherish. It never seems to be quite long enough, does it…?
Tagging @bleakoutlo, @ferronickel, @exodus-raine, @nopanfakemix2, @daiourage, @thepaleowl, @blueinsunlight, and anyone else who wants to participate. No pressure though :)
I am what happens when the wind gets trapped in the corner of some enclave against a concrete building. I am a vortex tht twists and spins with the breeze, collecting trash, leaves, dust and twirling it about. Im doing a little dance for you :)
I would probably be the calming cool breeze before a life threatening storm or the sad nostalgic yet bittersweet feeling you get when you reminisce on your past and see how much everything has changed. Both are cold yet secretly warm and comfortable feelings you get just like my personality
And hurms… I’d be the subtle, warm shining rays of sunlight peeking through the window? Warm enough to soothe you back to sleep and or soothe your worries away perhaps :P

I love this concept and I am totally in the same boat and would rather be perceived as an abstract concept than a person at this moment in my life lol.
I think I’d be a colorful newly built two story house with a bright red roof, with old musty clocks covering all of the walls, the only light comes from the open windows
@lexisrants @k4enobi @goldendaysforever @angiesbed @angelsblogs @ramonasinacoma and anybody else that sees :D
I love this and already percieve myself like this internally in a way
I’m the void / the abyss overall
I’m a place that seems miserable and lonely but if you pull back the curtain you see little floating lights in the dark. The place that isn’t so lonely, in the simplest way I can put it without it being a full poem
Overall, anyway. I also write lots of poetry about this subject
I am the vague melancholy that emerges a few moments after you’ve finished hugging someone you cherish. It never seems to be quite long enough, does it…?

I am what happens when the wind gets trapped in the corner of some enclave against a concrete building. I am a vortex tht twists and spins with the breeze, collecting trash, leaves, dust and twirling it about. Im doing a little dance for you :)

His voice became little more than a hushed whisper, hands reaching towards one of your own to gently hold it now that he had closed the distance between you two.
Or
After quite the exhausting shift, Pierrot walks you home and confesses something to you. Nothing more, nothing less... :)

"Pierrot."
The name slipped so quietly from your lips that, for a moment, you wondered if you had only imagined saying it.
And how could anyone hear you anyway? Not when the silence had already won. This total, crushing emptiness. Not even with time itself.
Seconds seemed to bleed into minutes, and minutes into hours. Without the steady anchor of the clock, time itself seemed to lose all form. And, ‘conveniently’ enough, you had completely forgotten your watch. Which was great. Fantastic, even. Especially since your phone had just died right after you texted Pierrot to come keep you company on the walk back. It was infuriating, really — you could have sworn it was charging during your shift and sitting on a whole battery.
…
But how long had it been since you two had left your workplace at the cafe?
Several minutes at least? An hour, perhaps?
Despite the uncertainty, your voice finally returned to you after what seemed like years of heavy, numb silence.
It was the first time you’d spoken since the walk back to your apartment began, but neither you nor Pierrot minded the quiet until now. Between you and the red clown, silence was something that comfortably settled into the spaces where conversation didn’t need to exist. After all, Pierrot seemed quite content simply walking beside you, leaving you free to occupy yourself with listening to the rhythm of your footsteps against the cool pavement.
Or at least, that’s what you had hoped.
The day had been far too long to worry too much about that right now.
Long enough for your shoulders to grow stiff and sore from scrubbing dried coffee stains from tables that had seen loads of impatient customers, your fingers to wrinkle from rinsing sticky pitchers once filled with steamed milk, and for the smell of roasted espresso beans to settle stubbornly into your clothes.
And as the day stretched onward, the cafe had started to slowly empty itself into the night.
One by one, chairs had been lifted onto tables, floors swept clean of sugar packets and crumbs, pastry displays emptied, and every receipt tucked neatly away after counting the cash drawer twice to make certain nothing came up short. And before you forgot to do so, the trash bags were tied up tightly before being hauled out in the back, where the leftover stale coffee grounds mingled with soaked pieces of cardboard and who-knows-what-else since people tended to throw away anything they didn’t want to carry around in their pockets.
And during your shift, Nathaniel, your boss, had caught you rubbing your eyes more than once.
“You’ve done enough,” he said in a firm, yet gentle voice. “I can finish locking up. Just…”
Giving you a sympathetic smile, he patted you once on the back.
“Go home and rest.”
Looking around the cafe one last time, you checked everything.
Counters wiped.
Floors swept.
Machines cleaned.
Lights dimmed.
Good.
Everything seemed to be in its place.
Jingling the keys between his fingers, Nathaniel made his way towards the door, opening it for you.
“Have a good night,” he called out.
Making sure that you gathered all your stuff, you glanced back over your shoulder.
“You too.”
___
And now the concrete beneath your shoes felt like ice.
Streetlights that loomed above the two of you buzzed with a low, mechanical hum, casting a jaundiced glow that barely pierced the heavy night air. Around their glass casings, a few moths danced a frantic waltz, their fragile wings tapping against the hot metal as if trying to become one with the light itself. And, underneath one of these lights, your body decided to come to a halt. Every few seconds, the dying bulb above you would stammer, plunging the pavement into darkness before snapping back to life with a harsh, suffocating hiss.
Just a few feet behind you, swallowed by the dense, impenetrable shadow where the light failed to reach, Pierrot stood.
Somewhere during the walk with him, your hands had drifted apart.
Neither of you had verbally acknowledged it at first, but the moment your fingers slipped from his, the clown’s pace faltered. With his hand suspended in the air, his claws twitched ever so slightly as if trying to catch the fading warmth of your skin before he sadly dropped his arm to his side. He adjusted his stride, lingering a few feet behind you.
Close enough that he could shield you, but far enough to respect the sudden distance you had created.
Swallowing back the heavy knot of anxiety beginning to form in his throat, he could feel his smile start to drop.
It shouldn’t be a big deal, right? Hopefully? Maybe? He forced his broad shoulders to square, desperately trying to project the confidence of the protector he was supposed to be rather than the insecurity of someone that was abandoned. You had asked for his company tonight, and not anyone else’s. You trusted him enough to get you through the dark, and he refused to ruin that by making you feel pressured or anything like that.
Besides, tonight was a rare gift. It was one of the circus’ few nights planned without a performance, as Jester wanted to do some, in his words, “preparations.” Tomorrow night, however, the circus would swell with the crowds once more, eager to laugh, scream, and applaud until their hands stung. He would be back on stage then, ready to return with yet another knife throwing act.
But tonight belonged to you, and so you were his own priority for the time being.
His golden eyes softened while looking at you, being content just to watch.
You were safe with him. He would make sure of it.
Nothing could ever come to harm you.
After all, the late night walks home always carried a vulnerable edge.
But tonight?
The familiar route you’ve always taken through the middle of the empty streets felt…
Off. Somehow.
The word, 'vulnerable,' seemed too light to use in a situation like this.
The shadows seemed longer, the air too still.
Pierrot’s instincts flared; his face hardened, the soft look in his golden eyes vanishing as they turned into slits, carefully scanning around the perimeter and cutting through everything. The darkened sky above. The hazy streetlights. The gloomy storefronts. Every crook and cranny that surrounded the two of you. Every window and door alike. He wanted to pull you close against the creeping unease of the environment, tightly wrap his arms around your shoulders, and press you against his chest while the bottom of his chin rested on the top of your head — but he hesitated. Staring at your turned back, he didn’t want to startle you. He had already done that once before, so he didn’t want to do that again after hearing how your heart seemed to be running a hundred miles at the time.
Taking a deep, steadying breath to smooth the tension from his features, and, with your back still turned, Pierrot took some time to scan the rest of the environment before deciding to speak up.
Trash cans lined the curb, filled to the brim with an awful amount of junk. Crushed soda cans, dirtied napkins, sticky wads of gum, and the distinctive coffee cups from your workplace is what made it up. Apart from that, crumpled flyers promoting the Circus of Horrors, the same ones that the Fools were promoting very eagerly in the daytime with their exaggerated whispers and tall tales, were stuffed carelessly into the waste. They were plastered everywhere, so it only made sense that some would end up in the bin.
Yet, for some reason, the air above the garbage was dead; no flies buzzed around the filth, no rats fed off the scraps inside, and not a single stray cat rummaged through it.
But that wasn’t the only thing.
Long rows of parked cars filled the sides of the street, being far more than usual because of the circus’ massive popularity. Yet, despite the amount of vehicles, the sidewalks were bare of people. Nobody was around partying, laughing, or walking to their doors.
Strange.
Usually, at this late hour, a couple of stray cars would’ve passed the two of you; people drove late because of odd work hours or travelers racing against time crunches on a long distance trip. Tonight, however, the streets were entirely starved of motion. It felt empty despite the amount of stuff surrounding the two of you; towering brick buildings, dark apartment complexes, and tightly packed houses.
But the city didn’t feel like it had fallen asleep.
It just felt like it…stopped for a moment or two.
His eyes returned to you before he decided to speak up. He had a rule to follow, after all. Pierrot couldn’t risk it.
“Yes, my dear…?”
Then, with caution, or perhaps a spark of curiosity, he took a step forwards, his head slightly tilting to the side as he tried to catch a glimpse of your shadowed face. He wasn’t quite sure what it was you wanted to talk to him about, but he assumed it was about the seemingly daunting distance between your workplace at the cafe and your apartment. Since it was so late at night, Pierrot thought you were merely worried about your safety, completely forgetting that he had been there to protect you every single step of the way.
“I believe we are almost to your home,” he had started off, voice growing just a little louder than a whisper so you could hear him properly. “So do not worry, there is no need to be afraid while I am with you.”
You remained facing forward.
Then you spoke again.
“You said you would love me no matter what, right?”
…
What?
The question caught him a little off guard, snapping him out of his comforting assurances towards you as he almost frowned at the thought of you believing otherwise.
“...I did,” he replied in a somewhat stunned tone.
Absentmindedly, his fingers found a strand of white hair, twisting it before his voice dropped into a breathless, racing cadence.
“I meant every word.”
He took a step forward.
“I meant it with every fiber of my being.”
Another step.
“No matter the circumstances…”
Another.
He was getting closer to you.
His hand drifted to his opposite sleeve, fidgeting for a second before falling back to his side again.
“…”
Closer.
“…We were always meant to be together.”
His voice became little more than a hushed whisper, hands reaching towards one of your own to gently hold it now that he had closed the distance between you two.
“It was like fate itself orchestrated our meeting. Destiny, even. The universe deliberately brought us together, crossing our paths where our very souls would connect to become one altogether…”
As the words tumbled out, his gentle grip on your hand seemed to tighten. The manic energy of his pure and utter devotion towards you pulsed through his fingers, claws beginning to dig into your wrist and pressing firmly against your skin. Not hard to make you bleed, but enough for you to feel the pressure behind it. Behind your back, his massive body loomed close, eclipsing you from the light above. If you were to turn around right now, your face would be a mere inch away from bumping into him.
“I could feel it the very moment my eyes found yours that day — a sudden burst, no, a sudden rush in my heart, body, and mind, that I was entirely meant for you…a-a-as you were meant for me…!”
The clown was unraveling right behind you, completely consumed by the sheer force of his feelings. A hot red flush flooded his cheeks, darkening the mask he wore. His brilliant golden eyes began to dilate, pupils expanding until they nearly swallowed the irises whole. His smile grew too, stretching wide across his face into a terrifying ecstatic grin full of razor sharp teeth. The intense, overwhelming weight of his presence pressed against your back; you could feel his chest and shoulders begin to shake with a manic tremor, heart pounding so violently against his ribs that the heavy sound of it practically vibrated through your spine.
Thump thump.
Thump thump.
“There was something…something…running through my veins, screaming at me that my very existence up until that point had found another piece of myself…”
Thump thump.
Thump thump.
“We - we weren’t just two individuals walking down a dark street together! Instead, we were two halves of the same design, bound by something greater than ourselves.”
He leaned in closer to where you could feel his breath skim the back of your neck.
“If I had to, my dear, I would do anything you asked me to. Anything. Existing without you wouldn’t be living at all, it would…”
Thump thump.
Thump —
…
He paused, snapping out of something.
Your body, once as still as a statue, flinched.
A wave of regret crashed over Pierrot, breaking him out of his trance as he realized how his excitement could be seen as something frightening.
Dropping heavily to his knees behind you, his expression shifted into one of dreadful concern and self-awareness.
“I - sorry! F- forgive me, please, I - I - I didn’t mean to — I wouldn’t…” He stammered, beginning to get himself worked up again. “I didn’t mean to…”
The silence returned again.
A minute passed.
The once towering figure shrank down, resting his forehead against your arm while he looked down, trying to calm himself down. Desperate to ensure that you felt safe, despite his earlier behavior, he moved his hands away from yours entirely. They balled up into fists as he placed them into his lap.
From his position on the ground, his voice returned again to that same breathless whisper.
“I...”
It took some time, but the clown finally finished what he wanted to say to you.
“…I’ll always love you. Never forget that.”
Letting his dramatic confession hang in the air for a second, your posture still remained rigidly fixed towards the empty street ahead.
Neither of you moved.
Above, the streetlight continued to buzz off and on again.
“...Tell me then.” You whispered, your flat, monotone voice cutting straight through the sincerity of his words.
He paused.
The light above you blinked once.
“If your ‘love’ for me is as true as you claim for it to be…”
Twice.
And then…
Hehe
