Circus Monster: Laughing JackXNeko!Reader Part 4

A month later, the circus had moved into a new town and right next to a carnival. Marie allowed everyone to go and advertise as well as have a little fun at the carnival. Everyone pretty much bended in since there were many interesting things to see at carnivals. (y/n) wished she had at least four more pairs of eyes as she took in the sights of the carnival.

“Wooooooooow!!” she exclaimed excitedly, “this. Is. AMAZING!!” She spun around. Everyone had to chuckle at (y/n)’s response to a carnival.

“Well, I know you want to explore this place, but first comes our duties,” Slenderman explained, holding up his stack of flyers, “let’s spread the word, and then we can have our fun.” Everyone nodded and went their way, (y/n) grabbed Laughing Jack’s arm and dragged him away.

“Come on Jack! Let’s get this finished quickly!!” she said excitedly.

“Whoa whoa! Slow down (y/n)!” but Laughing Jack smiled, she was just too cute, especially in that (f/c) and (s/f/c) lolita style dress Marie made for her, complete with a cute top hat, a lace chocker, and black doll shoes. They both managed to hand out their flyers in no time and were now contemplating on what they should do first.

“What should we do first Jack!?” (y/n) asked, head still darting back and forth, taking in as many sights as she could.

“Whatever you wan to do,” he answered. (y/n) had a hard time deciding, but ended up pick to go on the ferris wheel. Sitting side by side on the ferris wheel, the two smiled and enjoyed the ride, (y/n) giggled all the while and pointed out the circus tent she could se when they were at the top. As they made their way to the games, Laughing Jack stopped when he noticed a little girl about the age of six and her mother arguing about something.

“Mommy! I wanna flower balloon!” the girl whined.

“I’m sorry dear, but we don’t have any more money left, we have to go now.” The girl was at the brink of tears, that was until she felt someone tap her shoulder. She turned and looked up at Laughing Jack, giving out a little yelp of surprise at the unusual person before her. He scratched the back of his head nervously before asking.

“Your daughter wishes to have a balloon flower?” he reaches into his sleeves and pulls out a few balloons, each a different color, “I can make one, free of charge.”

The girl’s eyes lit up, all fear of Laughing Jack gone, as she said, “Can you make a pink flower?” Jack smiled down at her, “Of course sweetheart. He took the green and pink balloons and blew them up, twisting them around until finally, they made a rather lovely flower. He held it out to her.

“There you are kiddo.” The girl gladly took it and admired his handy work.

“Oh! Thank you so much!” She lunged forward and gave Laughing Jack a hug, surprising him, but he responded by patting her head.

“No problem . . . . um . . . I’m sorry, what’s your name?”

“Emily!”

“What a beautiful name,” Emily slightly blushed at the compliment, “well then, Emily, be on your way, and always be a good girl and listen to your mother. Can you promise me that?” Emily nodded her head, “Yeah, I promise.” Laughing Jack knelt down to Emily’s height and stuck out his pinky claw, “Pinky promise?” Emily giggled, “Pinky promise!” She twisted her pinky finger around his and they shook once. Laughing Jack stood back up and looked over at Emily’s mother, “There’s a circus happening practically next door from here, we’d be happy to see you there.”

“Oh! Well, we’ll try.”

“Really mommy!?” Emily exclaimed.

“Yes, now come on, we have to get home.”

“Ok mommy,” Emily looked up at Laughing Jack, “bye bye Mr.Clown!” Laughing Jack chuckled.

“The name’s Laughing Jack.”

“Bye Laughing Jack! See you soon!” The two left.

“Heh, that was really nice of you,” (y/n) said, wrapping an arm around around Jack’s long one.

“Oh! Um . . . . thank you.”

“Now come on! I wanna play some games!”

(y/n) sucked big time at the knock the milk bottles game and was ready to pout when Laughing Jack stood up, and with just one ball, knocked the entire tower of bottles over, winning the biggest prize at the booth.

“Thank you so much Jack!” (y/n) said, hugging her new stuffed bunny close to her.

“You’re welcome.” (y/n) looked around again and saw a merry-go-round. Her eyes lit up at the sight of the animals and all the lights it contained.

“Jack, what’s that?” she asked, pointing to it.

“That? It’s a merry-go-round, you sit on the animals and the whole thing goes round and round.”

“Really!?”

“You wanna go on?”

“Please?”

“Heh, come on.” Laughing Jack led her to the ride, and when it was their turn, he helped her up on a unicorn while he sat on the normal horse next to it, facing (y/n). She gripped the bar hard.

“This isn’t gonna go fast is it?” she asked nervously.

“Not at all! You’re gonna love it.” Finally a bell chimed and the ride began. At first, (y/n) had the pole in a death grip and closed her eyes tight. But when the ride continued at a comfortable speed, she opened them. The light contrasted nicely with the sights as she spun around on her unicorn. Before long, she was laughing out loud from joy. Laughing Jack never thought he’d heard such a beautiful sound. He reached out and took (y/n)’s hand into his claw. She looked over at him and her cheeks were bright pink. He smiled small at her, trying to hide his uneasiness. Eventually, (y/n) smiled big at him and his heart almost stopped at the sight. His grip on her hand got tight, but not in an uncomfortable way as his blush was evident on his pale skin.

“(y-y/n)?” he stuttered, although he was still heard over all the shouts and music thanks to (y/n)’s cat hearing.

“Hm?” she said innocently, cocking her head to one side, making her look twice as cute.

“I . . . . . uhh . . . . oh screw it!!” He leaned in forward quickly and pressed his black lips against (y/n)’s soft ones. Her eyes grew in size, not sure of what to make of this sudden show of affection. Trusting her instincts, she slowly extended a hand and tangled her fingers in Laughing Jack’s messy, black hair as she shyly kissed back. The two continued until the need for air separated them. They looked into eachother’s eyes before Laughing Jack said.

“(y/n) . . . . . . . I . . .l-l-love y-y-ou . . . . .”

Her heart beat a mile a minute as her face became hot and red. She looked down at her lap.

“I-I-I-I *mumble*.”

“Huh?”

“I said . . . I . . lo- . . . .” saying the word was quite hard for (y/n), never in her life had she felt so loved and the emotion was overwhelming. She decided to let her actions speak and she pulled Laughing Jack close and kissed him full on the lips, hoping he would get the message. Luckily for her he did, careful to not fall off his horse or have her fall off her unicorn, he wrapped one long arm around her small frame, deepening the kiss. He shyly ran his tongue over her lips, politely asking for entrance. She complied and he explored her wet cavern, careful to avoid running it over her fangs. They soon had to part, a string of saliva connected them for a few moments before breaking. (y/n) took in a deep breath before finally saying it.

“I . . . love you too . . Jack.” He smiled the biggest smile (y/n) has ever seen (and that’s saying something considering she’s been hanging around Jeff). The ride ended and Laughing Jack carried (y/n) off bridal style, holding her close to his chest. She giggled.

“Jack, you can put me down now.”

“Not yet,” his hold became tighter, “just a little longer. I’m just so happy.”

“Fine.” (y/n) wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned on his chest, taking in his sweet scent of lollypops and his rapid heartbeat. Her tail unconsciously wrapped around his waist affectionately and loud purrs radiated from her throat. Laughing Jack chuckled, her purrs were simply adorable and it took all his willpower to not squish her to death from her cuteness. He carried her to a bench, sat down, and continued to cuddle with her as she now rubbed her head against his neck. When she stopped, Laughing Jack looked down at her.

“(y/n)?”

“I never thought . . . . I could ever be so happy. I now have a family, an occupation I enjoy, tons of fans, and now,” she looked up at Laughing Jack with her big, neon-green cat eyes and touched his cheek, “I have someone who loves me despite my deformities.” Laughing Jack placed his clawed hand over her’s and nuzzled into it.

“You’re not deformed in any way. To me, you’re perfect in every way. I promise, I’ll always protect you from everything this world throws at us, I don’t want you to suffer anymore then you did all those years ago.”

“Thank you Jack.” They began to lean in for another kiss, until a voice interrupted  them.

“YO!! LOVEBIRDS!! GET A ROOM!!”

Unsurprisingly, it was Jeff, next to him was BEN who was cackling while eating some cotton candy. Laughing Jack glared violently at them while (y/n) just chuckled. Laughing Jack stood up from the bench.

“You two have ten seconds to start running!!”

“Or what? You’ll stick a lollypop up my a-”

“One!”

“Oh come on Wackie-Jackie, Jeff was just kidding!” BEN said, using the nickname Laughing Jack so hated.

“Five!!”

“Hey! You’re not even counting proper-”

“Nine!!”

“F*ck! RUN!!” They both sprinted off with Laughing Jack behind them and (y/n) trying to suppress an all out laughter fit. Laughing Jack never got them, when he was a good distance, he realized he almost left (y/n) and went back for her.

“Back so soon?” she joked.

“Sorry about that.”

“Don’t worry about it,” (y/n) said, standing up from the bench and giving him a kiss on the cheek. She then took his hand.

“Now come on, that fluffy stuff BEN had looked really good, I wanna get some!”

“You mean cotton candy?”

“Oh, that’s what it’s called?” (y/n) said with a giggle.

~0~

After that, (y/n) and Laughing Jack both thought they couldn’t be any happier. But sadly . . . . tragedy struck two years later, when Marie died of a bad heart, and since she didn’t have any family close by to take over her circus, Zalgo took over it, and made it his mission to make the lives of the performers miserable, especially (y/n)s and Laughing Jack’s . . . . . . .
