Helping Bob Gary
Angst
I saw some people wanted a fanfic of Bob Gary, so here you go :)
The time was 1908, in a little carnival area in a field. The famous clown, Pennywise, was performing for the children as he danced around, trying to get the flower from the groundhog. Everything was fine until the kids started coming to the stage and messing with everything on it.
He managed to slip out and back to his trailer. huffing as he wasn't expecting the kids to jump him like that. A soft knock was heard against the trailer door, turning to see Y/N, who was a jester.
"Hey- Bob.. you okay? Those kids look like they really went at it with you." Y/N asks softly, their footsteps soft against the floorboards. Bob huffed before he responded softly. "Yeah, their little hands didn't do much anyway". Y/N walked over, sat beside him, and removed their jester hat as they looked to Bob.
"Yeah- But still those kids really went at you like dogs to a bone." they chuckled softly as they reach over and gently touch his face, looking for any brusing or scracthes, as bob gently move their hand away, his hands intertwining with their's "I'm okay, lad, small kid hands arne't gonna be the death of me" he joke with a huff of a chuckle.
Y/N looked at Bob with a soft gaze; they knew there was something hidden underneath, but they knew Bob was a bit stubborn, so they dropped it for now. "Just checking," Y/N said as Bob began to clean off his clown makeup, soaking the rag, about to put the rag against his face, before Y/N stopped them. "Here, let me," they said as the gentle took the rag and started to whip his face, the white makeup coming off easily with one swipe.
Bob didn't argue with them as he let them help, knowing Y/N just wanted to make sure he was alright, he gratefully appreciated that about them. Ever since his wife passed away, they were making sure he was doing alright, even if he was stubborn about it.
There was this silence between them as Y/N whipped the makeup off Bob's face, but there was this understanding coming from it. Once the last bit of makeup was clean off, they looked into each other's eyes for a moment before Y/N glanced away and said, "There's Bob," they joke, whipping away any trace of Pennywise off of his face. Bob chuckled softly, gently reaching for Y/N's wrist, his fingers tracing the fabric of the jester's costume.
Before a loud knock came from the trailer's door as the ringmaster's voice called out from behind, "Y/N! You about done in there? People are waiting for the jester to come out". The moment was interrupted as Y/N called back, "Yeah, just a minute," turning back to Bob as they sheepishly said, "Guess I'm needed now."
Bob was a little disappointed but nodded, "The show must go on," he joked with a soft chuckle.

Later that day, in the late evening, Bob was back into the Pennywise character and was entertaining the guests as they wandered around the carnival. Y/N was nearby and saw Bob a little exhausted as they went over and gently placed a hand on his shoulder. "Go ahead and take a break, I'll handle this," they said with Bob giving a grateful nod and slipping out from the crowd as Y/N took over with their Jester acts for the guests.
Bob's daughter was nearby watching Y/N with their jester acts. They didn't mind and even let her join in the acts too, knowing she would one day be a part of the show herself. But hours pass, and Bob hasn't returned yet. Thinking he must be drunk or passed out due to the exhausting act.
Y/n quickly placed Bob's daughter back in their trailer for safekeeping as they went to look for Bob. Not wanting his child to worry about her father, surely he wasn't hurt.... right?
Going to where they saw Bob go, they looked around but couldn't see him, thinking maybe he went into the woods for a leak. Y/N started to head into the woods, the crunchy ground below their shoes as they looked around for him, calling out his name. "BOB!" nothing "BOB! YOU OUT HERE?" no respond again, now Y/N was getting worried, where was Bob?
Soon, they found something in the woods that made them stop in their tracks. a small white hanerchef lying on the ground, gently picking it up, it was the same cloth Bob's wife left before her passing, he would never leave this... But the most concerning part was the fact that the cloth was covered in blood.
Panick set in as they desperately shouted out for Bob More. "BOB! PLEASE! COME OUT!" Y/N shouted, tears welling in their eyes as they started rushing around in the forest looking for Bob. "BOB! PLEASE! WHERE ARE YOU?"
But even after searching for hours, Bob was nowhere to be found. The only trace of him was the small cloth left behind. Y/N fell to their knees and starting wheeping into their hand as the sad reality came down that Bob was gone.
How are they gonna tell his kid? that her only parent she had left was now gone too.
♥♥♥
Y/N walked back to the carnival as they found the ringmaster and took him away from the crowd, showing him the small bloody cloth and told them they couldn't find Bob anywhere. The ringmaster looked shocked and worried, just like Y/N, as a few more members came over, looking the same when they saw the cloth.
Bob's daughter soon came over, wondering where he father was, as the ringmaster had to hold his breath before showing her the small cloth and explaining how they couldn't find Bob anywhere in the woods nearby. They all could see the tears welling in her eyes as Y/N quickly rushed down and hugged her tightly. "I know, sweetheart," they said, holding back tears of their own.
♥♥♥
Months after Bob went missing and was assumed gone. Y/N was doing their jester acts for the guests before seeing the familiar clown get up as Pennywise the Dancing Clown. Y/N paused as they saw him hanging near the woods. Overjoyed thinking Bob was okay and must've gotten lost in the woods, quickly ran towards the woods.
"BOB!" they shouted, following him into the woods. "BOB! WHERE WERE YOU? EVERYONE WAS WORRIED SICK-" They soon paused as they figured, turned around slowly like an animal catching the sound of prey nearby. They look like Bob in his Pennywise outfit, but this wasn't Bob.
The eyes were yellow and sharp, blood was smeared across its face and chest, as it just stared at Y/N, confused about who this person was. As Y/N stood there before saying softly, "You're not Bob."
The figure chuckled as they realized why they chased them into the woods. "Didn't realize how well loved this Bobby fella was, maybe eating him was a good thing after all", it said as if it gave zero shits about the pain it caused for people who loved Bob.
That made Y/N pissed, as it confessed to not only harming Bob... but also eating him too. As they grab a large stick and start swinging at it, catching the figure off guard, Y/N smacks them with the large, thick stick. "YOU JACKASS!" Y/N cried out with rage and pain. "YOU TOOK AWAY A DAMN FATHER! A FRIEND! A FUCKING GOOD DAMN PERSON!" They kept smacking the creature with the stick as it kept getting caught off guard by their fighting back.
Before the creature had enough and blinded Y/N with bright lights, as Y/N felt their body go stiff as they looked dead at the three little lights floating around.
♥♥♥
Soon, the Jester known as Y/N went missing along with Bob Gary, never to be found again.
