Abstragedy Week Day 3 - Hurt/comfort
Knock-knock-knock.
Zooble knocked on Gangle’s door for probably the tenth day in a row, awaiting a response. They had been visiting her every day since they got back from the Spudsy’s adventure. Gangle had seemed sadder and more quiet since then -if that was even possible- and Zooble wanted to be sure they were okay. Besides, they always enjoyed Gangle’s company. And she had opened the door and welcomed them in every day (except today, apparently.) Just as Zooble turned away and was about to walk back to their room - they must have all gone on one of Caine’s adventures again, they thought - the door creaked open and Gangle’s mournful face offered Zooble a smile once again. They sat together in the vermillion room, decorated with red silk bows and littered with sketchbook paper and pencils. “Zooble?” she squeaked, anxiety in her voice. “Can I talk to you about something?” Zooble nodded, their eyes suddenly filled with concern. “Yeah? Was it Jax again?” "No, he’s not the problem. I am." she said, big tears surfacing from her voidlike eyes. "I really appreciate it. But you don't need to do this for me. I don't want you to feel bad for me, if you think I'm annoying you can say so and I'll leave you alone."
"What?" Zooble could have laughed at the idea of finding Gangle, practically the only good thing they had in the Circus, annoying. But they could barely put words together, her statement not fully registering. "Why... why would you think... who told you that?"
"Remember the fast food adventure? That's what Jax told me. And Ragatha too... I don't think she would have said it out loud, but she had some of that sauce? I don't know, I guess it made her more honest...." Gangle trailed off. "I just... I don't really know anymore."
"Gangle..." Zooble had so much they wanted to tell her, they wanted to stay with her as she cried, and fall asleep, safe in each others' arms... but everything was coming too fast again and all they could say was, "Why would I think that?"
Gangle blinked, wiping away a tear only for a new one to appear in its place. “W-what?”
“I mean,” Zooble said slowly, searching for the right words, “you’re the only person in this whole damn circus that I care about. I don’t know what I’d do if you weren’t here. I-” They were interrupted by the firm grasp of Gangle’s arms around their shoulders. “Thank you.” Gangle whispered. And Zooble wordlessly returned the hug. After they pulled away from each other, they just sat there, leaning against Gangle’s four poster bed. It wasn’t awkward really, they could just stay for as long as they wanted, being in each other’s presence. “I mean,” Zooble mused, “what reason would I have not to be honest with you? If I didn’t want to come over, I wouldn’t have. I do that all the time with Caine anyway…” and they suddenly became aware of what they were saying - oh shit why did I say that she probably doesn’t want to talk about it anymore we were doing fine and of course I had to go ruin it what the fuck is wrong with me -
But then Gangle cracked a smile. And she started to giggle. Which made Zooble smile too, and before they knew it they were both laughing together, gasping for breath, not even knowing why. It had been so long since Zooble had heard that sound out of their own mouth, and when they had both calmed down, they looked lovingly at each other.
Like they were the only people in the world.

I though I might post this again because although I haven't updated it in a while I thought it would good to finish it
Summary:
Throughout her time in the Digital Circus, Ragatha has had to master it all. From twisted creatures to twisted traps to even dealing with annoying lengthy rabbit's shanagenes. Jax has always found a twisted joy in his time at the Digital Circus. That joy has a sweeter taste when a certain rag doll falls for his tricks and traps. Yet though it all she's pushed through, when the wacky ringmaster comes in with a new challenge, making them face more than wacky and crazy creatures of this world. Through candy heart songs and paper flower bouquets, through late-night talks to the moon and plays, they find more that there is more to this world than fears and tricks.
(This story was based around the song Candy Hearts and Paper Flowers from the Raggedy Ann and Andy: Musical Adventures. And I just built a story based around them performing this song)
🥰🥰Some of my fav line of this story (so far...)🥰🥰
"Oh, dollface~. If you only knew how easy you were." "No need to boost my ego, Caine," "So romantic~," Bubble echoed in the background."
"Wait if that's the case then why is my only role is a tree ?" Gangle murmured
"We have a mentally unstable cast, an even more unstable director. Oh," he turned to look at the ragdoll in the mirror in front of them. "And star who can't even handle the spotlight. Sound like a delicious disaster to me."
