#royal fools

Prince Pierrot is the favorite of the kingdom by Jester. It is obvious to all, but not to Pierrot himself.

Prince Pierrot however isn't as charming as he makes himself out to be. He has a dark sadistic side, too possessive, too clingy, too violent...If he wants something or desire someone, he gets them. However not every treasure he brings home last long...Until he found you that is.

Jester is the queen, and the most powerful and respected of the kingdom and land. He is both a merciful and ruthless ruler, depending on his mood and how you treat him. He loves being in the seat of power.

Ticket Taker even as king still stands by Jester's side as his knight. Never taking a seat, ready to fight and defend or protect from any and all threats. Jester though doesn't mind it, as long he can hold his hand in his.

Doctor is a sorcerer, but his skills in magic are more extreme than others. He learned how to mend and heal almost any and all ailments...As well might be diving into a bit of necromancy too.

Harlequin is both the bard and fool for the kingdom, and the land. Mainly his entertainment is for the queen. However he loves to explore and travel around in his free time, singing a yarn or two...Especially to draw in any fools into his chambers at night for some private one-on-one entertainment. However his songs started to change when you entered his life.

Usually, Allen didn’t like to be the one who fooled people to get what he wanted. But in this case it seemed like this method was the only solution.Ever since the Akuma started to appear everywhere the kingdoms had started to work together in union. Where there was everyone for themselves before, there was everyone for everyone now. Except for one. The Equipment-type kingdom was still very secluded and unwilling to share their knowledge and power. Up to this point, Allen and his people had been able to deal with the Akuma, even if his Exorcists were rare. Then he had to ask the Crystal-type kingdom for help. Luckily, Lenalee was really courteous and even if her husband hadn’t been entirely sure - they came to an agreement. 

But for some reason, Lavi, king of the Equipment-types... he didn’t want to cooperate. Every time they tried to communicate, they were turned down and Allen’s patience was growing thin. Not even Cross could help - but with him, Allen figured that he could, but simply didn’t want to help. It wouldn’t surprise him because his master had always been rather complicated when it came down to political decisions. Now Allen had to deal with this alone. And so he had. After fighting the Akuma for months now they found out more about who was behind it. Allen knew that Lavi’s kingdom was always interested in knowledge. That they hoarded it so he wrote a letter in which he stated, that they’d gathered important information about the Noah-clan. 

(Royal Fools is my personal ship name for Jester x Ticket Taker fyi.)

"You seem tense again." Ticket Taker stated as he worked on organizing some forms he filled out today.

"Obviously. It was one thing for Pierrot to be fixated on that pet of his. But Harlequin? I swear he started to become more..."

"Bothersome?"

"Concerning..."

"Hmm...Agreed. Keeping Pierrot on a tight leash is easy to keep doing, even with the use of that guest. However Harlequin...Perhaps we can use that human to a similar advantage?"

"I've considered it. Thought of it, repeatedly. However I suspect Harlequin knows we'll attempt that..."

"He is one to often read ones move ahead of time...Makes me wonder now..." Ticket Taker grew quiet as he thought to himself.

Jester raised a brow as he looked at him. "Wonder what? What is it that you haven't told me yet?"

"Nothing. If it is something to be concerned about. I'll tell you."

Jester sighed and leaned back in his seat. "Fine. But if I learn you were keeping something important from me. Be known a swift punishment will be given."

Ticket Taker walked over behind Jester, lightly resting his hands on his shoulders. Then proceeded to gently massage the tension from his body.

"Completely understood...Though..." Ticket Taker leaned his head close to Jester's ear. "Is it wrong to say I actually look forward to a personal hands on punishment from you?~"

Jester chuckled at his response. Then closed his eyes as he sighed out happily at the feeling of Ticket Taker massaging his shoulders. "Mmm...Don't tempt me now, Bil. You know I don't like to be teased unless it truly leads to something~."

Finally the demon of writing came to me for them specifically! (so sorry this is late. I had to wait for ideas to come to me. lmao)

Jester usually lets his Fools help him get dressed and prepared for the morning/day. Letting himself be treated like royalty.

Though the times he spends a night with Ticket Taker. He only lets him help him get get dressed and prepared.

This usually involves a lot of slow intimacy. As Ticket Taker takes his time to both worship Jester's body with his love and affection. While he helps him get dressed and look presentable for the world.

Ticket Taker often finds himself conflicted on putting on his make up every morning. Since it usually involves having to cover the bites Jester left on him.

Yes, it wouldn't be appropriate to allow himself to show his evidence of getting affectionate with Jester, especially to circus guest.

But he'll often find himself staring at them as he looks in the mirror. Lightly touching and tracing them. Feeling a sense of pride to know out of everyone in the troupe, he does this to him alone.

Ticket Taker will often brush Jester's hair as a means of relieving stress when the day was too much.

Of course more can and will be done together to help Ticker Taker relax again.

But just this small act is enough for him for now.

And Jester does find it relaxing too himself as he sits and let Ticket Taker do that. While he calmly drinks some tea or wine. As he reads the local newspaper for the day and finds amusement from knowing the police don't know they are behind the missing people.

Jester will often go to Ticket Taker only when he deals with nightmares.

Especially since he feels most vulnerable during those times, and refuses to let the others see him that way.

Ticket Taker usually knows by now why Jester has visited his tent at that hour. And already is preparing a calming tea for him and letting him stay in his tent for however long he needs to.

Jester will usually try to not talk about it, or go into much detail. Just Ticket Taker company is enough.

But if ever he does feel willing to talk about it. Ticket Taker listens and tries his best to gently console him by holding his hand in his and caressing it lightly.

But if the nightmare was too intense, a reminder of traumatic past events. He'll stay in Ticket Taker tent for the night, resting in bed with him as he is held by him, until he feels more safer to go back to sleep.
