Dare I Come Closer

{A Snake x Reader one shot}

Tell me, why can't I look away from you?

You had heard of Noah's ark Circus from your friends. They said it was the best circus to ever exist. You had wanted to go to a circus ever since you were a kid, but your parents never got to take you.It didn't bother you too much since you could just go now.

When you arrived at the entrance all you saw was a ginormous tent decorated with lights and performers doing neat tricks. You laughed as a clown had tried to pull out a flower from the ground. He tried so hard he fell back into another clown and they started a fight. You've barely been here for five minutes and you're already loving this circus. You continue to look around seeing the many sights.

As it came time to see the show you made your way inside the tent to see the arena full of people. You hoped to still get a good seat. Walking up the stairs you spotted an open seat almost to the front. Sitting down you looked around wondering what the show would start.

As the time went on you started to hear some music play in the arena. It got louder and louder and soon a man had dropped down from the ceiling with confetting and small fireworks surrounding him. He landed on a ball located in the middle of the arena and the lights followed him shining him in the spotlight. “Ladies and gentlemen, I am your ringmaster Joker and I welcome you to the Noah's Ark Circus. " As the man spoke the arena was being filled with animals of all sorts walking and clowns dancing around them.

You gleefully clapped seeing the show started with a real bang. Joker then announced “Come baask in the marvels our circus has to offer! First we will show you the amazon trapeze duo that will defy all laws of gravity. Peter and wendy!!!” As he said that two small children flew from the ceiling and swung from one rope to another. Peter had let go falling to the ground but Wendy had effortlessly caught him tossing him to another trapeze. They looked so incredible swinging around like they could fly!! Joker spoke again “Or perhaps you like to see our wild animal tamer who can tame any creator to her will! Beast!!” A lion hop onto a podium and heard the crack of a whip. Blushing you saw a well endowed woman in scandalous clothing, whipping her whip. Making the lion stand on its hind feat.

You thought how could anyone control such a beast or at the very least be so brave to interact with them? The crowd was cheering and watching as the Joker introduced more acts. But once the lights turned green and showed down to the side of the arena, Joker introduced next “Perhaps you like to see the intoxicating dance of our snake charmer, SNAKE!”

You saw a shirtless man with white hair covered in a plethora of snakes. He danced so beautifully and with each movement he moved with the snakes as if they were one.

You were truly mezmorized and to be honest you thought the man was very cute. You learned as close as you could to get a better look but the lights turned to a different set of colors and moved away from the snake. You felt disappointed wishing you could see him more.

As the night went on you saw so many amazing things. Fire breathers and a man even lifting 10 barrels that looked as if they weigh 100 tons. You even got to see more of Snakes’s act and he looked so cool almost enchanting you like one of his snakes. You were enjoying the show so much that you hadn't noticed it was already ending.

Joker walked to the center of the arena and bowed “My deer guest awhile I am sad to say the show must come to an end. I am glad you have come to our circus. May you come again and indulge in more of our wonders.” He was suddenly surrounded by a cloud of smoke disappearing. You stood tall clapping along with the crowed as they cheered.

Once most of the crowd left you made your way out trying to remember everything you had watched. While you were so lost in your thoughts you had gotten lost. Trying to make sense of your surroundings, you just got lost. Walking forward you saw a group of tents. They looked fairly big and quite homely. You thought that this must be the performers' tents. Maybe they could help you find the way out.

You made your way to the rope separating the tents but heard a hissing sound. Odd what could be making that sound. You turned around to meet face to face with a snake. You screamed falling to the ground and the snake slithering closer to you. You remained frozen seeing that the snake suddenly stopped right in front of you. “What are you doing here? Says Emily.” You heard a man's voice and saw that it was the snake man from the show. You stood back up patting your legs . “I'm sorry I didn't mean to be a nuisance. I got lost trying to find the way. I was hoping someone could help me.”

The man looked you up and down and replied “That seems oddly suspicious. Says Oscar " “or perhaps they just need help? Says Wild.” Snake looks back to you and waits as if he's deciding says Webster” He looks to his snakes and seems to be deciding what to do. You merely stare back at him seeing up close he really is quite handsome. You continued to look but Snake turned away and said “Why are you staring at Snake? Do you not have any manners? Says Webster”

You shook your head and apologized “Oh no! I'm sorry for staring. I didn't mean any harm, I just couldnt help but be enamored with you and your snakes. I think you are amazing to be so close to them. In fact I dear say your snakes are all beautiful and amazing in their own right.” Snake seemed shocked but just blinked and responded. “Oh why thank you! you might just be a snake charmer as well. Says Emily” You were confused as to why he kept speaking as if someone else was speaking. Perhap he spoke for or through the snakes? Snake just turned around and started to walk off.

“Come this way, I will show you the way. Says Bronte” Quickly following you walk beside the Snake side. ”So Emily or was it Oscar, Which snakes would you be?” You asked to keep up the conversation. Snake looked at you curiously “I'm emily. SaysEmily and I’m Oscar. Says oscar.” Both his snakes had understood you well and even slithered up to your face to show you who they were.

You were so amazed that Snake trained them so well they could understand humans. Did that mean he could really understand snakes!! “My what an amazing talent Snake, do you truly understand these snakes? That is truly a wonderful talent.” the Snake turned his face from you but you could see some scales beginning to show up more prominently on his cheek. You thought it was cute.

“Snake has always been able to understand us; it isn't quite a talent more natural to him. Says Goethe.” You smiled at Goethe. “I still think it's a nice talent.” You contend to talk to Snake’s individual snakes as best you could trying to remember all their names. When you two were stopped by a man with blond hair and holding daggers.

Oh the knife thrower you remembered . When he saw you two together he grinded madly saying. ”Snake who might this be? You seem chummy with em.” Snake seemed a bit upset at the man's comment. Are they friends?

“She's a new friend.Shes really kind to us and even makes Snake feel rather more shy than normal. SayS Wilde.“ Snake looked embarrassed, turning to Wild, giving him a stern look. You giggled and the knife thrower just gained even more.

“We're showing her the way out, she got lost, an idiot I say they are. Says Brionte” Snake told the man but the man seemed to have his attention on you. He grabbed your hand and kissed it bowing “Well a friend of snake iser friend of mine. Do come back to our circus. My name is Dagger.” You were flattered but took your hand back out of embarrassment “Why thank you Dagger. I was so happy to see the show. Snake’s performance was my favorite of them all!”

Dagger lchuckled and teasinly poked snakes cheelk ”Was it now. Perhaps you're a fan of our dear old chap “ You nodded your head “I sure am.” You noticed Snake had a faint blush on his cheek and that made one of his snakes snap at Dgger. Dagger pulled away fearfully, then he returned his attention onto you. “Well do come back and I'm sure Snake would be happy to show yer self around the circus.” You smiled and agreed “Yes I would love that. Would you mind if you show me around next time?”

Snake looked at you for a brief second replying “Yes he'd love to do so. Says Emily” You lightly padded emily's head “Thank you Emily I look forward to it.'' Emily hissed in response and Snake seemed to blush more but did not repeat what Emily said. Dagger had pushed Snake towards you and hurried you two off “Off you go it is getting late. Snake do take care of them." Before Snake could react, Dagger had run off and shouted out the other troupe members' names.

You loved how nice the people seemed here. Continuing on your way, both of you and Snake remained in silence with one of his snakes saying something random now and then.

Once you finally made it back to the entrance you felt a little sad having to say goodbye.

You turned to wave goodbye to Snake but Snake held your shoulder. “Before you go, what is your name? Says Oscar” You tell him “My name is (y/n), (y/n) (l/n).” Snake nodded his head and bowed to you “I shall remember that.” Did he just talk for himself? Snake just walked off leaving you to yourself. You smiled as you watched him go and continued on your way. You must come to the circus again soon.

Bonus:

“Can you believe it, I think Snake might have a suiter!” Dagger yelled out to the other troop members. Everyone laughed and continued to tease Snake. Snake tried to hide within his snakes but the troop continued on. “Come now my dear friend, there's no need to be shy. I'm sure they make a lovely friend and if it leads to something more, a lovelyer partner.” Everyone continued to laugh but Snake just ignored them thinking of you.

You were different, the good kind of different. He hopes you come to see him again

haaaayyyy so I was rewatching Black Butler and I was hit with embarrassment on Book of Circus. I used to love Snake he was one of my top husbandos. I still love him so much so I had to rwrite a little something for him. (I may draw him too) I don't know what it is about snake boys in anime but I always fall for them.

awww just look at him! so cute!
