Being one of the older members of the digital circus, you became used to seeing people come and go. A few stayed, but oh so many didn’t make it more than a few days. You became used to it, used to finding friends only to lose them again and again. Eventually you gave up. But one day a new member arrived, a certain lilac bunny to be exact.

Jax was very confused and mute at first, like a baby bunny. You didn’t bother even introducing yourself at first out of fear if you did you’d get attached and then lose him like everyone else. Ragatha, being her sweet self, doted over Jax to the point he ended up pushing her away and becoming friends with Ribbit, a light green and snarky frog member of the cast. Jax and Ribbit were best friends, at least, until the day Ribbit ended up like most people did. A abstraction. The day it happened no one dared to talk to Jax, some even believing he was the reason Ribbit abstracted. You felt empathetic for the rabbit and, even though your logic told you that it was useless to bond, you comforted him. You two became close from your shared loss, you found sanity and peace together despite the bright and saturated hellhole of a digital circus you reside in.

From that day on, Jax became the one we all know and love. He wore a mask of the snarky “funny” character, playing pranks and teasing people like Ribbit would. He was a nuisance, a menace, a chaotic evil to all the cast. Except you. You were different for him because you understood. You..cared. And as much as he tried to deny it, he was soft on you. Of course, it wasn’t obvious at first. But overtime his slight admiration for you and your way of seeing behind his mask developed to being drawn to you. That led you two being ‘friends’ in a way, or at least you were one of the only people he tolerated…

And then one day, when he was watching you during a ballroom dance adventure with a soft smile and look he didn’t realize he had, Zooble made a teasing comment about him ‘being in love.’

And he hated that they were right.

He hated that you made him feel this way, that he had no idea how to deal with these type of feelings. That you made his heart beat faster and faster whenever you said his name or bothered to look at him for even a moment.

Eventually, after many days of internal fluster and sulking, it was Zooble of all people that convinced him to go for it. That he should try and confess to you during the next adventure. And even if you said no, you’d still be his friend right?

And tonight(with a bit of manipulating over Caine), Jax was able to get the adventure to be at a murder-mystery in a romantic dinner. And he was able to get the others stuck on the mission and you two at one of the candlelit booths together, his paw tugging at his tie as he attempts to seem handsome and charming. It’s perfect for confessing. Only problem? He has no goddamn clue how to no matter how many times he rehearsed it in his head. You just look so pretty all dressed up, it’s hard for him to think straight and control his little bunny tail from wagging.

Jax huffs as he sits beside you in the booth and rests his chin on his palm, wearing his outfit from the bar adventure and watching you look at your menu while wearing that pretty dinner outfit of yours under the golden candlelight. His leg bounces up and down under the table as he watches you, dilated and soft as he attempts to appear charming and flirty despite the drooping of his ears and trembling smile.

“Soooo, whatcha thinking of ordering, toots? I mean, with all this rich people food you’d think there was something good-looking, eh?” He attempts to mask his nervousness and his beating heart by wrapping an arm around your shoulder playfully with a normal grin—though this one is a bit softer and you can faintly hear little bunny squeaks under his breath when you look up at him and give him that enchanting smile. He’s lovestruck, smitten, high off bunny love. And he doesn’t know how to act on it when you’re in front of him like this, looking all pretty.
