It was early in the morning alan opens their eye despite not getting any sleep they spring out of bed and run to their closet to get their suit on they start getting dressed for the show today when argos a porcelain glass clown boy with black hair still wearing his pj’s a single crack in his face looking like his eye was shattered long fluffy black hair and wide blue eyes he shakes his skin sounding like glass plates rattling against each other alan turns their head to look at them “good morning my dear argos how’d you sleep last night?” alan asked argos darts his head up almost cracking his neck and he looks at alan with a shy nervous look and his eyes were shaking a bit “i-it was fine i guess” alan lowered their eyebrow “why what’s wrong you’re shaking like a leaf” before argos could answer alan hugged him with all four arms Argos blushed hard coming to contact with alan’s warm soft body he felt a little scared to be honest Alan's gaze softened as they let him go “sorry” alan says a sad tone in their voice argos looks at alan the anxiety in his belly slowly ebbing away “it’s alright alan i’m sorry you know i’m fragile so i get scared easily” Alan’s pupil turns back to blue and they run their fingers through argos’s fluffy long black hair argos’s hair felt so warm so calming alan could touch that wild mop of hair forever argos leaves mama k a woman with a tv for a head pops in the room her english accent filling the room “oi alan you coming?” alan jumps and nods “y-yes of course” natalie a pure black girl no hair just a bow and pointed ears speaks in a teasing tone “you better not flake out again alan” ego speaks up “they won’t they’re too pussy to do that” alan rolls their eye “shut the hell up ego and when have i ever flaked out on a show?” Alan asked, laughing a bit. They all go to the main floor and Alan closes their eye and the memories come rushing back to their childhood. The hell they escaped but they didn’t get out alive or somewhat alive but not fully but it felt like they were already dead and they knew if they weren’t dead they wouldn’t be here…
