Thanktival 2022 - Day 3 - Yonderland

Title: The Offer [AO3]

Characters: Mojo, Wizard Bradley & Boo

Prompt: One-Off Character

Summary: Bradley and Mojo give Boo a place to stay on Thanktival.

A/N: Young Charlie at the end is, of course, Larry's chamberlain who I named Charles in my fics and little Belladonna is that lovely Elder lady that can often be seen in the background of the Chamber scenes.

————

The Offer

Mojo groaned and stretched his arms above his head.

“What a day,” he said from where he was perched on Bradley’s right shoulder – the perfect vantage point to keep an eye on the whole square. “I can’t wait to get home and escape all this Thanktival craziness. If I hear one more person begging us to – hey, old man, are you even listening?”

Bradley hummed in absentminded acknowledgment.

With an annoyed huff that ended up becoming a vicious sneeze, Mojo turned to see what he was looking at. The square was emptying all around them but there on the other end one person stood still in a rolling sea of people, looking slightly lost. Even from this distance it wasn’t hard to recognise Boo with his white face and bright hair. He’d become a regular performer at the square these past few weeks and despite a rocky start had managed to win over the crowd’s hearts with his bright, innocent smile and rather charming clumsiness. He made people laugh with his funny nose in the same way Mojo and Bradley made them gasp in awe with their magic, and Mojo respected that. He’d grown to like the guy, awkward as he might be, and he knew Bradley had a soft spot for him as well.

Which would explain the troubled look on his wizard’s face as they watched Boo hang his head and turn to go, every now and then glancing up at the warmly lit windows and the happy families behind the glass wistfully. He looked sad in a way he never did when he performed, and terribly lonely.

“I don’t think he has anywhere to go,” Bradley said quietly.

Mojo knew exactly where this would be going when Bradley looked at him, silently begging him to understand, to agree. As if there was even the slightest chance that Mojo wouldn’t. They both knew what it felt like to have no one to turn to. The Great Wizard Hunts had robbed them of all their friends and after that they’d lost sight of each other as well, too hung up about petty things that ultimately hadn’t mattered at all.

Mojo would never wish that terrible feeling of loneliness on anyone, least of all someone who spent his days bringing joy to other people and making them laugh.

“Come on, then,” he said softly. “Let’s offer him a place to stay.”

Bradley smiled at him, all crinkly and grateful, and gently knocked their heads together. “You’re the best, Mojo.”

“I know,” Mojo replied good-naturedly before he turned his head away to cough.

They crossed the square – well, Bradley did – and managed to catch Boo just as he was turning into one of the side streets. He looked surprised when they called his name, and just a little apprehensive when they stopped him. “Mr Bradley? Mr Mojo?”

“Hi Boo,” Bradley said breathlessly, sounding a little winded from the brisk walk. Mojo, feeling another coughing fit coming on, opted for a wave. “And please, it’s just Bradley and Mojo. No need for such formalities, Boo. We’re all friends here, aren’t we?”

Boo ducked his head shyly. “That’s very kind of you to say, Mr – Bradley.”

The lad was trying, bless him, Mojo thought as the tickle in his throat became too insistent to ignore. He coughed once, twice and then a third time. Boo looked at him with a rather worried expression. “Are you quite all right?”

Mojo waved his worries away. “Just a cold. I promise I’m not contagious. Not to humans, anyway.”

“Good thing too because he’s been coughing and sneezing my ear off all day,” Bradley said with a smile that let Boo know he hadn’t minded one bit.

“Well,” Boo said. “I hope you’ll feel better soon. It’s a shame to be sick on Thanktival.”

That was the opening Mojo had been waiting for. “Speaking of which: we were actually wondering if you’d like to join us for dinner before the song contest tonight? The old man here has made enough to feed a whole army.”

Bradley had, in fact, spent the better part of the morning making potato salad – their traditional Thanktival dinner dish and something Mojo had found himself missing terribly last year when they’d been separated.

“Oh, I couldn’t intrude on a day such as this,” Boo said at once, wide-eyed . “It wouldn’t be right.”

“Do you have other plans, then?” Bradley asked, obviously not planning to give up just yet. “Someone to spend Thanktival with?”

Boo glanced down at his feet and shook his head. “Sometimes, Mr Bojangles lets me sit by his fire but I think he’s busy this year.”

It was one of the saddest sentences Mojo had ever heard. It also confirmed his and Bradley’s suspicions that Boo had no friends, no family – not even a real home by the sound of it.

“I heard he’s participating in the song contest,” Bradley said.��“Coaching the Elders’ Youngers.”

“Oh,” Boo breathed and his whole face lit up with a smile. “That must mean he’s finally overcome his fear!”

He looked so genuinely happy for Bojangles in that moment that Mojo couldn’t help but wonder how such a kind-hearted person could possibly find himself all alone on a day like Thanktival. It wasn’t right. It wasn’t fair.

“Why don’t you go and watch the performance with Bradley later?” he suggested.

Bradley nodded but Boo shook his head. “I wouldn’t want to distract Mr Bojangles. His music’s important to him, you know? Even if it’s been a long time since he’s played any.”

“Then at least join us for the evening,” Bradley gently urged once more. “We have more than enough food to share and between you and me, I would feel a lot better about going to the song contest if I knew Mojo wasn’t alone while he’s sick.”

The last part, said in a lowered voice as if sharing a secret, was clearly added for Boo’s benefit. Bradley knew very well that Mojo neither minded him going to the song contest or being on his own for a few hours. He had a cold, not a life-threatening disease.

“But I have nothing to give to you in return,” Boo said, very quietly.

“Yes, you have,” Mojo said and hopped onto his shoulder. “Your company – which I would appreciate very much.”

“It would be more than enough,” Bradley added.

For a moment, Boo looked at a loss. Then, visibly battling with his emotions, he whispered a heartfelt, “Thank you. You’re being very kind.”

They spend the rest of the afternoon and evening eating, laughing and singing together. It was one of the merriest Thanktivals Mojo could remember ever having and when Boo fell asleep on their sofa just shortly after Bradley returned from the song contest, he turned to Bradley and asked, “We won’t make him leave in the morning, will we?”

“No,” Bradley said and draped a blanket over Boo with gentle care. “He’s welcome to stay for as long as he likes.”

Mojo could tell by the look in his eyes that Bradley was hoping Boo would stay forever. He wouldn’t be the first kid they’d given a home to over the years. He still remembered quite fondly when young Charlie with his injured leg and dashed dreams of becoming a knight had lived with them, and the day little Belladonna who had lost her parents and wasn’t wanted in her uncle’s home had completed their little family. She now held a seat on the Council of Elders and would be coming over for lunch tomorrow with Charlie – a Thanktival tradition of theirs Mojo was looking forward to very much after last year’s rather dreary and lonely festivities. And maybe, just maybe, Boo would be there as well, lighting up the room with his smile. He might not realise it yet but he was part of their family now. It was an odd one, granted, but Mojo wouldn’t trade it for the any of the twelve realms.

After mulling over the prompts for a while I've created a very tentative list of what I'd like to write for the event:

Day 1: Elders’ Youngers + Holiday Jumpers

Day 2: Mistletoe (Norne)

Day 3: One-Off Character (Boo & Wizard Bradley)

Day 5: Cake Bake By The Lake (focusing on Sue)

Day 6: Fix-it Fic (Debbie tells Pete about Yonderland)

Day 10: Project Crossover (Ho-Tan & Thomas)

Day 11: Snowed In (Vextan)

Day 12: New Year’s Eve (Norne sequel to Fireworks)

I'm a bit sad that there's no Gabrian on the list but I also don't really want to change any of the prompts so ... Maybe I can fit an extra one in somewhere. We'll see.
