RIBBIT

"Oh but those are the best ones, Fizz. I'm tellin ya."

An idle swish of his tail while he led the way down the street. Making light hearted conversation. Something they hadn't done since they were younger. Since before the accident. It was something that they always did since back then they would often go out together. Leaving the circus grounds for one reason or another. Whether it was to take a break from their regular lives or for a specific outing. It was hard to believe looking at where they had been before coming to an understanding that they'd once been inseparable. Although now the reason behind that had been revealed between the two of them. There was still no denial of the bitter sweetness of the nostalgia that came with this. A moment that Blitzo, personally, felt he would hang onto if he could.

But alas it came to an end whenever they finally reached the complex to which he dwelled. It wasn't anything fancy, just as he described it. Not far from the office building to which his company occupied. And about as typical as one would expect from anything in Imp City. It was the reality of this place that had brought his nostalgia to an end at least in that moment. Because the reality of his life was set before him. He lived alone except for the room occupied by Loona, his adopted Hellhound daughter. Blitzo wasn't sure if Fizz knew that he had even adopted a Hellhound in order to raise. Just to have some semblance of family and belonging. And even that wasn't always as functional as he would have liked.

Nervous and mildly self conscious, he unlocked the door to his place and pushed it open. Then motioned with a sweep of his arm into the space inside, allowing the jester to take the first steps in. Addressing him with nothing short of a nervous laugh. "Well, this is it... heh. Home sweet home."

The place wasn't trashed but looked as though it could use a little tidying up. The couch where Blitzo spent most of his time, sat in front of a television and had some evidence of his last station there. In the form of some empty bottles and the single throw pillow looking as though someone had spent much time laying as it was squished down into the cushions just a little. The nearest door to the left was Loonas which of course has been fitted with proper warning signs on not to enter her room. As any teenager might have plastered across their door. No sounds came from the other side of it though. Which meant it was possible that she was out or in the very least had decided on headphone use.

Now here they were, leisurely strolling along as they chatted together. Small giggles and genuine laughter was shared, a clawed hand coming up to cover his mouth whenever a silly joke was said. Tail swaying behind him as they walked, sometimes coming to an excited curl. He was glad that he didn't just leave, that he was taking a chance, they wouldn't have this moment if he didn't.

Eventually they did make it to an apartment complex, climbing the stairs until they reached his floor. The jester taking in his surroundings the entire time, was he surprised by it all? Not really, he used to live in Imp City himself and knew what to expect of this place. So he was stepping into all of this with an open mind, not that he would ever judge his friend.

As he watched Blitz, he could see the tenseness in his body and in the way he held his shoulders. Surely he was anxious about inviting him into his home for one reason or another. Part of him even wondering if Blitz thought he would judge him because of the lifestyle the jester was now accustomed to. Whatever was going on in that head of his, he still opened the door and welcomed him right in.

The jester stepped right on in, taking a few steps as he was taking in the new surrounding. It wasn't as messy as he was expecting, meaning that Blitz has learned to mostly clean up after himself. He recalled how messy his room was growing up and he even smiled to himself a little at the memory. It was clear where he spent most of his time when he was home, and of course he noted on the door with the various warning signs to stay out. It was clear that he didn't live alone, but he didn't quite bring it up; getting distracted by the photos that were on the wall. Fizzarolli gazing up at them, noting that there were various others here, Blitz's employees, a hound, and even some childhood photos as well; but they all had one thing in common.

Blitz's face was crossed out in each and every one of them, which caused a mix of emotions to bubble up within the imp.

"This is.. charming," he told him as he ventured further into the home, going to run a hand along the couch but finding that even he himself was too nervous to make himself at home. As if he needed to ask in order to take a seat, but he had to remind himself that they were getting comfortable with each other's presence again. It made sense to have little bumps like this.

— " You... uh. "

What does he even say?? That was the last thing he was ever expecting, his heart skipped a few beats himself. He wasn't exactly opposed to it, but how does one express that in words? He's not good at that shit. Time for the classic defense system, over the top flirting.

WAIT-

Was that supposed to happen? Was he supposed to flirt back with him! What did he expect? He did just kiss him after all! Great, his limbs were like noodles and now his brain was complete jell-o! The clown could put on a nice act of confidence, but who was he kidding! Even he was caught off guard by this response, making a small crack in that mask of his.

"Yeah- OF COURSE I did! Pfft! I mean, y'know me! When I wanna do something', I just do it! There's definitely MORE where that came from!"

“That really spooked you.” 

“I don’t want to pry, but.. I want you to know I also want to listen, if you want someone to talk to.” 

“Well, pretend I’m not here. What would you say if nobody could hear it?” 

“Does this happen a lot?” 

“Hey, what happened between you two?” 

“When is the last time you ate?”

“Is this okay?” 

“Hey.” 

“This is the third meal you’ve missed this week, are you okay?” 

“[Name]?” 

“What did he/she/they do?” 

“This … hurts you.” 

“You don’t feel safe, here.” 

“When you look at [trigger], you… what is that?” 

“What can I do?” 

“You were crying in your sleep.” 

“What do you dream about?” 

“Whenever you get stressed, you do this thing with your hands. What is it?” 

“You’re right, I don’t understand, yet. Will you help me?” 

“Should I leave a light on for you?” 

“I brought you some water.” 

“I won’t judge you.” 

“It doesn’t have anything to do with trust. You don’t have to tell me. But I’ll listen, if you do.” 

“Count your breaths with me, okay? Ready? One, two, three, four…” 

“I’m here.” 

“Talk to me.” 

“You don’t need to tell me everything. I just want to know how I can help.” 

“Let me hold your hair back, at least.”
