Hello! I was wondering if you could do relationship hcs for beppi? I barely see anything on him and it makes me sad that the clown barely gets any love. I'm also quite curious on how you would write him. Thank you if you do decide to write about him!
A/N: Beppi is a good boy and it’s a shame he doesn’t get that much love either (u.u) 
Ngl, it was a bit tough writing for Beppi- so be sure to let me know if you ever want me to rewrite these!
(Note: read more added due to lengthiness)
Beppi Relationship hcs:
Beppi, underneath his goofy blue-and-red exterior, is actually quite the romantic at heart. While he knows his job may not leave much room for relationships, it doesn’t stop the clown from daydreaming about the idea of finally meeting his special someone. 
Prior to meeting you, Djimmi and Bon Bon had spent many a groan-worthy afternoon listening to the clown recount how he met a nice guy or gal and how they might possibly be “the one”, only to forget about them after a week of not seeing them.
With that said, Beppi falls in and out of love almost comically quick- so much so that he takes crushes that lead to nowhere in stride. After all, he can’t do a good job at making others happy if he’s down in the dumps!
When he had met you, the new worker managing the cotton candy machines, he tried not to get his hopes up right away- especially since he had a rule against dating coworkers; things can get awkward real quick if it fell apart, after all. 
Not to mention that you weren’t the type he normally goes for: Beppi likes the idea of a friendly, outgoing partner that could happily show him off without shame.You were a bit soft-spoken and somewhat introverted; easily drowned out by his much louder and boisterous presence. 
However, the poor fool already felt the start of a crush form when he looked over to your stand one day. You looked up to meet his eyes, and it was as if time seemed to slow down for him. Then you gave him a small, shy smile and waved, and all he could do was just wave back; his cheeks flushed a bright pink.
From there, you would often see the clown hanging around by your work area and handing out balloons to carnival goers. Beppi would not-so-subtly look your way, only to immediately look away when you looked in his direction. 
You didn’t mind it too much though; after all, you always found a balloon animal left at your counter at the end of the day. 
It’ll be about a month before Beppi starts up conversation whenever the two of you are on break, and boy howdy is this man not subtle in how he feels about you. Beppi happily adds in flirty little comments whenever he sees the chance, not to mention that he tends to be touchy-feely with people he likes- so he’ll often pat you on the head or casually move  an arm over your shoulder while he’s happily rambling about whatever nonsense comes to mind.
And if you think Beppi pre-relationship is pretty affectionate, than you’re in for a surprise when the two of you actually start dating. Because this clown takes it to a whole other level when it comes to showing you how much he adores you.
Expect to hear at least one “I love you” from him every day; after all, he doesn’t want you to forget that! With that in mind, you better get used to Beppi suddenly shouting out your name from across the fairgrounds, only to VERY LOUDLY shout how much he loves you for everyone to hear. 
You should also be ready for frequent love letters from your boyfriend, all filled with sappy, sweet thoughts about how you brighten up his day.
(think that one scene from Roger Rabbit where he reads out a letter he wrote to Jessica)
Of course, if you decide to show some love back, he immediately melts (well, more like deflate in his case); hearing his quiet, dopey love-struck laughter while you cuddle becomes your new favorite thing to hear from him.
Plus, this is one of the very rare times Beppi is able to quietly sit still; which most of the other workers see as a blessing.
If you ever feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed with it, however, Beppi is willing to tone it down a notch or two; he’s aware that he can be a bit too much for some people, and the very last thing he wants is to stress you out.
