Scared To Be Lonely (Jax x Reader)

It's been a couple of days since our last adventure, Y/n managed to convince Caine into making the next adventure into an exciting one.

Something that doesn't involve near death experiences for anyone. For that everyone was mostly left to themselves while Caine got busy working on the new adventure.

Caine tried to create problems here and there to keep everyone entertained, and make sure none of them abstracted.

Y/n was mingling with Gangle, as she talked about her drawings and Y/n showed her skills on it as well. They are very different since Gangle was better at portrait which made Y/n's work look so novice.

Jax also refrained from picking on Gangle too much, as per Y/n's request which the others were weirded out.

There had been every opportunity for Jax to torment Gangle but he never did, they only speculated that it was Y/n's doing but never said anything.

"Good morrow my lovely digital peeps!" Caine interrupted their peace.

"What now, Caine?" Zooble asked annoyed.

"Unfortunately, the adventure I'm making is still in progress." he informed. "To make it up, you all can have a nice day to yourselves."

Everyone sighed in relief, they were afraid he was gonna make them run around doing crazy stuff again.

"By engaging in a blood battle of paint ball!" Caine quickly added which made the others face dropped, except for Jax who had a very mischievous grin.

"Yes, paintball! I've seen videos of it. A battle to the death!"

"Caine they don't actually-" Jax slapped a hand on Y/n's mouth which set her off.

She then began cussing and scolding Jax to take it off, but of course the words didn't came out, it was all mumbles.

"Shut up, squeaker. He might actually give us real guns."

At the flick of Caine's finger, the circus became a paintball battle ground, at the next flick, everyone was wearing a protective vest and their own paintball guns.

"It's simple, it's a free-for-all. BUT! You have to shoot your opponent 3 times to knock them down. If you are shot 3 times, you fall to the ground and stay there until the game ends!" Caine explained.

"So we're like... dead the entire game?" Pomni questioned.

"Yes!"

Jax was busy inspecting his rifle with mischief still in his eyes. He then checked the magazine and noticed it was actually just paintballs. He groaned to himself.

Jax pointed the nozzle towards Zooble. He smirked and acted all innocent. "Hey, what's this button do?" He then squeezed the trigger and shot Zooble.

"What the- Jax!" they scolded.

Jax then shot her 2 more times, this made the middle part of the vest glow red, and the next thing they knew they're stuck on the ground.

"What the *boink*! Somebody help me up!" Zooble panicked.

Pomni and Ragatha came to her aid and tried to pry her off the floor but to no avail. 

Y/n slapped Jax on his back, because that's all she could reach. "You're an idiot." she shook her head.

"What? It's funny." Jax shrugged, chuckling as he walked off. 

As the scene unfolded, Y/n was scolding Jax about trying to at least be a team player and he argued that it's a free-for-all knowing that wasn't what she meant.
