Chapter Text
The Jester told him to come early to her room this morning. Another day has begun but with her everyday was just same over and over. Every other day she would ask him to come in the morning, then find someone, torture them or maybe just talk to her. Then she would create new places and maybe show them to Jack. The places she created was always from the real world, never related to circus whatsoever. Not everyone saw these places except Jack. He never understood why Jester even talked to him. Maybe because he is pathetic now, everyone can toy with him however they like.
He didn't want to leave his room cause this time beside them was a person who is special to them, if they didn't leave though they would get hurt again. So he got up and made his way to her room.

"Jack."
Jester smiled with cheer. She looked happier today better not change that.
" Did you find, Nullble?" She batted her eyelashes.
" uhh, no... not really. They got away." Jack looked at his side with fear.
" Hmm. Well didn't I gave those long limbs to catch them?"
" Or are you not doing my orders out of something?"
Jack didn't reply. Jester's eye twitch.
" I am hungry." With a blink of an eye. The jester covered the table with all sorts of dishes. All of them looked really realistic. She must have put good effort in it.
She made him sit on the other end of the dinner table.
Her eyes landing on him again.
" Jack, why do you think you are my favourite?" Utensils clinked against the meat, and she swiftly shredded it.
" w-why?"
" Cause we are good friends. Friends always got each others back when they need it."
Her limb stretched and reached him. She put her gloved hand above his chest. Her head tilted slightly.
" I always got your back and you got mine, right?"
He was lost in thoughts so didn't hear the question.
She repeated.
" R̷͈̻̼͕̹̍̒͘ì̴̤̥̗͎͕̹̫̓g̶̤͝h̶̨̛̐̈́̓̋t̷̰̔̔̄͑̾?"
" r-right." Jack smiled. Jester gave a hard look.
It was hard for him to leave his mask. Then her hand snapped back to her.
" So! Back to the Nullble situation..." She rolled her eyes.
" Weren't they so stupid to do that. Like I wasn't in charge of everything? How dare they tried to get away from me." Jack felt nauseous. He fought with all his strength to stay conscious. Luckily Jester was playing with the poor meat in front of her.
" I won't even let them abstract. What were they thinking..." Rambling more to herself, she stabbed the meat knife on the table. Her eyes were twitching with wrath then slowly drifted to Jack.
The words she said was slowly getting to him.
' Won't let them abstract.' was she even capable of preventing that event. Jack gave quick breathes. God, he was hyperventilating. Everything was blurring together.
" At least you won't abstract on me." Right She was here still.
Get a hold of yourself.
" Yes I- "
Jester cut through his word." Meetings over. Find them and bring them to me. Okay Jack?"
She smiled with all of her teeths. With a snap of her finger, he was in his room again. Jester was probably still listening.
" yes... yes I will."

Nullble woke up with a poof sound in the room. Jack was in the middle of the room, mumbled to himself. Did he even visit her or?
" Hey, you good?"
" Nullble, Shit this is bad. Really really bad. She said that. She w-" They hold his hand and put him on chair
" Hey look at me. Calm down, tell me one by one."
" she... wanted me to find you. I don't now what she is planning but you know it will not be good..." Nullble wasn't the person to be scared of everything but things were different in circus. If she wanted she could crack their pain tolerence... which happened last time. So they asked the only question they could ask.
" And what did you say?"
" I said yes..."
At that moment millions of things went through their head and none of them would work to get through this situation. They cared about Jack, but did they cared him more than themselves? They didn't even want to think about that part, cause that part would just prove that they were the worst person in this circus. For a moment they just wanted to lay in the bed again. Forget what he said, do the same thing they did last night. Was it really that precious or this hellscape just made that part look like that too? They made up their mind.
" Okay, lets go."
" wait. y-you are just gonna gave up like that?"
" What do you want me to say, go and sacrifice yourself for me?" The truth is they thought about that option but it would hurt more than the other one.
" But-"
" You are going to be there for me right? That would be enough. Come on lets go." They opened his door and light filled the room.
" heh, I knew you were tough nut Nubbie."
