Fine fine I won’t for now.

Bat found it rather strange of Acro’s eagerness to avoid the subject. It has been a year…but maybe those tragedy still made it difficult  for his sibling to move on, at least the other members were there to support each other. The  young performer light scratched the back his neck, he didn’t really know what else to ask—but heck those bandages were starting to be uncomfortable. 

Well hum…how long do I still have to stay here?

Acro gave his brother a short nod and smiled at him sadly. That was another issue. How long would he have to stay there?

“Ah… Since you’ve been laying there for so long they’ll probably have to teach you how to walk again. Should I.. um, call a nurse in? I’m sure the doctor would like to know that you’re awake too.”

“Ah, you might not know how to walk since your legs haven’t been used in so long. They’ll probably have to teach you so I have no idea how long. Should I call a nurse?”

 ”It has. I’ve been busy with work and such; Criminals aren’t going to catch themselves, nor are lunches to sell themselves. How have you been, sweetie? “

“Ah, I see, I can’t imagine how difficult that job must be. Me? I’ve been doing about the same I suppose.”

acro-kendingling started following you

“Hello there…It’s been awhile.”

“Yes, it’s been quite a while, hasn’t it? How have you been, Miss Starr?”

Bat rolled his eyes away from the other man when feeling inclined to insist on the subject. Acro was only concerned for his brother’s well-being, and he wasn’t particularly wrong on that point; Having just woken up the patient still felt a light dizziness, as for his body felt almost…numb. They will probably have to schedule an appointment with a physiotherapist to prevent muscle atrophy due to his prolonged nap, and keep the circus performance on hold until his health goes back to normal. The not so satisfying news weren’t a great idea for his mental health either.

Why is—…

…Fine. but I still want talk about it later.

From his last remark there was not much chance for his older brother to continue further on the details. The younger man will have to be patient and wait until his health isn’t an primarily issue for him anymore despite his visible reluctance and impatience to hear those answers.

Acro felt relieved when Bat agreed to drop the subject for now. He was scared of what would happen when he finally told the other the truth. That he tried to kill Regina, the girl Bat loved, and accidently killed the man who raised them.

“Yes, I swear… i’ll tell you.. everything, just not now. It’s too difficult for me. You can ask about anything else though and i’ll do my best to answer.” 

He smiled sadly at the other and let out a deep sigh.

_{“Sweeties!” The pink magician exclaimed, throwing out his arm and smiling brightly. “How fabulous it is to see all your smiling faces again!” A soft giggle left his red painted lips, letting his hand rest on his chin. “I assume you all had a fabulous Valentine’s Day with that someone special~?”}

 

_{“For all of you that haven’t been fortunate enough… Well, no worries~! I, the fabulous Maximillion Galactica still have many hearts in which to give!”}

“Did you have a good Valentines Day, Max?”

He…The Ringmaster what…?

With the shock that the Ringmaster—no Leon too has passed away after that day, Bat couldn’t do anything else than stare in disbelief at his older brother. His lips and arms moved but only to come back to their place from the loss of words.

The man who had taken them in when they were little, the man who was like a father to him, to them, was dead. That place the man and the lion he considered family had in his heart suddenly vanished, leaving nothing but confusion and pain. Unable to do anything to stop it, the acrobat felt his body slumping heavily against the pillows as his eyes looked down, trying to grasp any memories he had left of them.

…But why…

It was a year after. The young man was afraid to ask, even though he wanted to know what happened during his absence. He felt a lump growing inside his throat, while his teeth gritted in hesitation; Bat wanted to control his emotions, which is why the younger brother swallowed hard before speaking in a quiet voice close to a whisper.

Acro…had the Ringmaster died…because of that incident…?

“…”

Acro stared at the other motionlessly. The only thing moving inside him was a cold feeling, creeping through his chest. He wanted to cry again, to hold his brother and sob and tell him everything but that probably wasn’t the best idea. Bat had just woken up.

This information could possible send him back into his coma or into a shock at least. Bat already looked like he was in physical pain.

”..Calm down, Bat.. mourn for him, but please calm down. I think I should stop talking about that for today. I don’t think I can handle it and neither can you.”

He felt an even more painful feeling tug at his stomach when he heard the other whisper those words. He couldn’t tell him that it was his own fault.. he wouldn’t be able to bare it if his only brother hated him. If Bat continued to push for the information though.. he deserved to know but now wasn’t the time.

“No, it wasn’t your fault. Don’t even think that.. it.. it was an accident.”

Bat’s eyed widened to the size of dinner plate when his older brother didn’t bother to even change his facial expression even the slightest. Come on he must be joking right? Maybe it was some sort of sick revenge for the whole ordeal right??

…

Pfffffff I almost believed you there, good one! For a second I really thought you weren’t…kidding…

Or maybe not. Oh crap his brother didn’t seem to be joking. No, it was his job to pull the pranks and the jokes not Acro, and this realization made the young boy drop the denying smile to stare blankly at the other. Okay sure he might have this one thought to time travel but he wasn’t serious about it, which felt exactly the same to him. He couldn’t believe it; the dare with Regina, that split second with Léon…it all happened two years ago. Two years ago. Two years ago.

His hands reached for the bandages on his neck and started loosing the fabric by digging for any sign of mark left by the lion, this couldn’t be.

Yet it was. No majors signs of the fangs were felt, only scars remained.

(! What is—what the hell-)

H-hey wait if I was all this time in this hospital room and two years has passed then what happened to the Berry Big Circus?? Oh man everyone will be freaking out when I’ll come back, especially the Ringmaster. I’ll have to apologize to everyone, Léon too…

Acro’s face darkened slightly and he tried to avoid looking into Bat’s eyes as he spoke. 

“It’s not a joke.. I wish it was but it’s not Bat. I’m sorry that i’m having to tell you all this as soon as you’ve woken up.” 

And Bat mentioned exactly what Acro had been wishing he wouldn’t. He didn’t want to have to explain all of this to the other now. He didn’t want to have to say anything about it at all and yet he knew he had to. It had to be him. If he tried to hide it things would only be worse.

“…Bat.. the Ringmaster had to put Léon down after the accident. And only a year after.. the Ringmaster himself lost his life.”
