You came to the circus to visit kedamono sometime last month
It's actually been twelve years or so since you've seen your brother, and oh how excited he was to see you!
there was a welcoming party completed with balloons.

you met everyone in the circus.
Frog, Papi, Paola, and of course Popee. (of course he was a bit curious about you.)

something about you made him feel different.
something inside that made him feel weird and a bit flustered every time he thought about you.

TIME SKIP.......

(POPEE'S POV)
i don't understand it.
this feeling it's strange....

Ever since that... That girl arrived here i have a tense urge to want something.

Yeah. I'm pretty used to seeing girls come and go through the circus. None of which are like her.

I just makes me even more angry every second i think about it.
My heart is beating faster and my skin feels tight over my body as my suit just suffocates me.

I hate this feeling. But what can i do?
I can't tell Keda. That's his sister.

I can't tell Papi in fear of him snitching.

I'm lost in my thoughts when i hear a soft, swift sound of my tent curtains move to the side.
And a voice muffled from my mind.

(Nobody's pov)

(Y/n) pulled aside the curtains to Popee's tent.
It was about 11 in the morning and rehearsal was at 10:30.
Knowing it wasn't like Popee to be late to rehearsal you went over to check on him.

Upon finding him, he was sitting half dressed on his bed. Biting his thumb in frustration.
You called his came softly, but of course he didn't answer.

You called again getting closer and shaking his shoulder a bit.

He shook his head from the trance he was in.
"Hey Silly. You Okay? You've been here for a while and missed Rehearsal." You said.

Popee completely ignored your statement and asked a question you've never been asked before.
"What is a feeling that makes you suffocate and make you feel flustered? What is the feeling that makes your heart beat faster than it usually does?"

Your eyes widen a bit in the manner Popee asked the questions.
Surprised to hear this.

A bit speechless.
"Well i believe that might be many things. Fear...  Um.. Guilt maybe...but most common Love.... Why you ask? Is there something wrong?"

Popee wasn't about to lie to you.
He just said Fuck it and said
"That's what I'm feeling... Feeling Love. Towards...Towards...You."
You blush a bit in how straight forward he was.
Never have you thought this boy. A seventeen year old boy with blonde pigtails had a crush on you.

You smile and laugh.
But the boy shrugged and smirked
"Maybe it's because I've known your brother for so long and i see something in you. Or maybe it's something else."

"Well... I believe so.."
