"How about we make an appearance at the circus again."

Taehyung snaps his eyes up from his transaction summary, staring directly to his best friend- who was finding the feather pen much more amusing between his fingers than to look of his friend in the eye. The swift movements the feather flickers through his each fingers is almost similar to a dance, or a song.

It brings Taehyung back to a time where him and Taemin would sneak into the ballet theater to use mimic the dances of the pretty ballerinas. Taemin began to grow drawn to copying the dances, and it slowly began to grow in a passion not filled with mockery anymore.

It was an era for Taemin, where classical music and sneaking into theaters to watch the magnificent dancers perform, and he even got accepted into a prestigious ballet academy when he auditioned. Unfortunately his parents discovered his secret and shipped him off to England instead, forcing him to work with his uncle who works as the greatest lawyer in the country. Four years passed where Taehyung was alone, focusing only on his father's example on being a well suitable business man with the thrill of being a kid being a long lost memory.

Taemin's return was like breathing fresh air after a time of suffocating in the ocean. The two have matured greatly and Taemin's desire for the arts of dancing faded, but the blossoming of creating a business between the two was a start of them being together and not to be separated again. While also pleasing their families and earning well enough money, also maintaining a good reputation for society.

Now they're here in Boston, spreading their business.

It's humourous how a single feather can bring so many memories, and the more Taehyung stares intently at it the more he recalls those youthful moments of sneaking into the theatre.

Perhaps this circus is giving Taemin something he never got to live; A dream of performing. A childish dream that was a beautiful desire, now remains just as it was during that time.

A dream.

That there's no desire in pursing anymore, but it's always nice to see from afair.

So Taehyung stares at the feather for a moment or two longer before sighing, leaning back to his office chair, "For the performance? Or the odd obsession for the dancer you were awestruck for?"

The blush on his friend's cheeks spread rather too quick, but he puts the feather down with narrowed eyes, "Don't make such daring accusations. I know fairly well you enjoyed the performance as well."

He did indeed, and it's not something his pride is ready to admit.

He's thought often about the raven marionette, far too often than he would like, and it would be a crime to admit in the open how he would look forward into seeing his performance once again.

Well the three perform.

The circus will be in town for a while, at least from what Taemin has informed him, so perhaps he could maybe sneak once or twice again to see this marvelous performance. Perhaps this time he would linger longer to catch a glimpse of them outside the circus. Word from the gossip women he brushed by along the streets this morning mentioned how all of the performers would be outside the tents, allowing other people to speak to them on their wonderful acts or take photographs.

Perhaps Taehyung would be able to exchange a word or two to fill in the holes of his curiosities for the ravenette.

The mere thought alone scrunched an uncomfortable knot at the pit of Taehyung's abdomen, sitting up and leaning to the desk now, clearing his throat, "It was exotic and quite different, can't say I enjoyed it to your level," He waves a hand dismissedly to Taemin's smug grin, "Very well, I'll be joining you tonight."

Taemin has never squealed so happily in his life before until now.
