"Unless cutting off my hair is what we are trying to fucking achieve right now, then you're not doing it right dipshit!"There were very few things that Apollo took seriously in his life, one of the main things being his magic. He didn't care about his hair, he'd sacrifice all of his beautiful ginger locks for his craft but getting his hair cut during the middle of a disappearing act was really going to give everything away now wasn't it? "You know what? Take five. Come back with your head ready to actually do this properly!" Apollo shouted, turning on his heel and walking off into the stands. Seriously. He'd use of one of his freaking eyes for this circus, so you'd think people would be a little bit more safety conscious. Any lower down and it would have cut off his head. Taking a seat behind a familiar face, the redhead leaned forward, wrapping his arms around the man's shoulders and resting his chin on one. "Just lemme, I need to calm down," the redhead muttered with a sigh. It was that or he was going to punch the technician in the face. He was a very touchy person anyway, Syca new that, he was sure he wouldn't mind. @sycamore MARI @ GS!

| | | If you were here I'd never have a fear. So go on live your life. But I miss you more than I did yesterday. | Syca wiped the sweat from his brow as he finished the strenuous morning practice. When doing big, elaborate trips up in the air, one needs to be in top physical condition. Even with the safety net underneath them, it was still possible to injure yourself if you messed up and landed incorrectly. Plus, people paid to see a good show, not to watch a bunch of amateurs muck about in the air.
When they agreed to take a break, the rest of the acrobats dispersed, leaving Syca on his own once again. He couldn't really complain; that's just how he liked it. The man went to the stands to sit on his own, vaguely watching some of the other performers for a little while before he leaned back a little and let his eyes close.
Syca let his mind start to wander, enjoying the temporary solitude, which unfortunately was very short-lived. It didn't take long at all before he felt two arms wrapping around him and the weight of a head on his shoulder. Instantly, the man tensed up, his eyes open to turn and glare at whoever was invading his personal space.
Of course, it was Apollo.
"I don't remember giving you permission," he grumbled.

Permission, what was a hug between friends? "I gave myself permission," the redhead replied, nuzzling his face into the other man's neck before relinquishing his grip around the other man's neck. Vaulting himself over a seat into the row in front of him, sitting himself down gracefully in the seat next to his companion, resting his head on the man's shoulder. "You're too muscly, your shoulder's so hard," he muttered before smirking. He could make so many jokes about being hard, but Syca would just get up and leave and where was the fun in that? Instead he wrapped his arms around the others, holding it closer to him before pouting. "They almost cut off my head in rehearsal. How do you do that? Why are people that stupid?" Apollo asked, glancing out over the circus arena. Seriously, he'd wrote out pretty precise instructions for crying out loud. "And how's a day in the life of Sycamore? Better for seeing me huh?" he added, squeezing the other man's arm a little tighter as he tried to find a position on the seat that was comfortable without letting go. @sycamore MARI @ GS!

| | | If you were here I'd never have a fear. So go on live your life. But I miss you more than I did yesterday. | Syca sighed, resigned to his fate. It didn't look like Apollo was going to leave him alone anytime soon, so he might as well just bear it. Hopefully the other man would get bored of him quickly and leave him alone. It wasn't like Syca was alll that interesting to be around, really.
And maybe it wasn't so bad to have some form of company, even if he would never admit it out loud (especially to Apollo who would no doubt take it and run with it). Syca was pretty bored right now, that was all.
"I have to be," he replied simply, frowning as the redhead once again invaded his personal space. As if he could sense his discomfort, he made it worse by clinging to his arm, practically anchoring Syca next to him, whether he really liked it or not.
He merely let out a "hm" at the man's complaints about the rehearsal going wrong, though he was tempted to make a remark about how their aim was off since his head was still on. He thought better of it; even he wasn't that mean spirited. Instead he offered a simple, "I'm fine" at Apollo's final question.

"Yeah I suppose. Makes me feel inferior though with my little twig arms," the redhead replied with a sign, twisting his body round so he was spaced out over two seats with his feet resting on the second as he curled up on it. He could just not get comfortable today. "Just fine? Elaborate some more for crying out loud," Apollo grumbled. He didn't seem to care that he'd almost just been beheaded; concerning but it was probably just Syca being quiet as per usual. "You could try smiling once in a while, would really light up that handsome face of yours."@sycamore MARI @ GS!

| | | If you were here I'd never have a fear. So go on live your life. But I miss you more than I did yesterday. | Syca merely sighed as the redhead kept up his squirming, constantly changing the way he was sitting next to him. Couldn’t he just sit still for once? Syca just crossed his arms tightly across his chest, trying his best to look ahead and not at Apollo, but the other man still insisted on making conversation, despite his partner’s reluctance.
“I don’t know what else you want me to say,” the dark haired man replied simply. Really, there was nothing extraordinary about the day. He woke up, ate breakfast, practiced for a bit, and then decided to take a break. Then Apollo decided for whatever reason that Syca was the best man to talk to and came to pester him.
Then he suggested that Syca smile more, which finally made the other man look over at him. “What would be the point of that?” he asked. He didn’t really feel like smiling most of the time, so why should he bother with it?

"Just something interesting," Apollo mumbled, finally getting into a position that was comfortable despite Syca having some kind of vice like grip on his freaking arm. "Guess you didn't wanna let me go huh?" he added, waving around his arm. If he was less stubborn he might have removed it from it's position of being wrapped around his companions arm but no, he'd just make do. "It'd make your face look pretty, well prettier," the redhead replied, closing his eyes and sighing softly. He was muscular and handsome, Apollo didn't get why he didn't try to own that all the time. He would if it were him. But silence yeah, they were sitting in silence ... or he was trying to anyway. He wasn't exactly known for shutting up. @sycamore MARI @ GS!

| | | If you were here I'd never have a fear. So go on live your life. But I miss you more than I did yesterday. | Syca hadn’t even realized Apollo still had his arm wrapped around his own when he had crossed them. He only did when the other man began to squirm again and mentioned it, waving his arm around -- well as much as he could with how Syca had it pinned. Once again the dark-haired man glanced down at the ginger, and actually smiled a bit. Well, it was more like a smirk, but that was something for Syca.
“Maybe this’ll help you sit still,” he said, keeping his arm pinned against him.
There was a short moment of silence that passed between them, and Apollo had closed his eyes. Syca used this opportunity to look down at him curiously, almost staring really. He didn’t really understand why Apollo was so interested in him, considering he rarely talked to anyone. Most of the others tended to just avoid him as much as he avoided them.
Syca spoke up, wearing another small smirk. “Maybe I don’t want to look ‘pretty,’” he said simply.

He couldn't tell if Syca was smiling or smirking at him but he didn't really care. "Might do, might not," the redhead replied vaguely, just to be awkward. It probably would do, he couldn't exactly move his arm around much anymore. Besides he was trying to be peaceful now, keeping up an air of tranquility that had somewhat settled in between them. Then he closed his eyes; he almost felt like falling asleep. He'd had a late night previously, one where he kept telling himself he should just go to sleep early and then kept failing to take any opportunity to actually leave and go to bed. However he was in company, no matter how soothing and quiet that company was to him he was going to stay awake. Besides he'd had like two coffees this morning they should kick in soon or whatever ... Unaware that Syca had been staring at him, Apollo tilted his head around slightly, opening his eyes when the question was asked. "Well you look prettier now, a smile suits you," he responded with a grin of his own before moving his head back to rest lazily on the others shoulder. He liked being right, besides if the usually stoic man only smiled (well smirked) for him then it was somewhat of a personal victory. @sycamore MARI @ GS!

| | | If you were here I'd never have a fear. So go on live your life. But I miss you more than I did yesterday. | Apollo had at least stopped squirming so much, which Syca appreciated. Of course, he didn’t really say anything to him about it, but he did loosen the grip on his arm just a little bit to make it a bit more comfortable for the redhead.
When he had closed his eyes, Syca was a little worried he was going to fall asleep on him. Sure, he’d be quieter, but he didn’t really want to deal with a Sleeping Apollo laying on him either. The thought occurred that if he did fall asleep, Syca could make his escape and leave him napping in the stands, but even to him, that seemed a bit mean. Thankfully, he had opened his eyes shortly after.
The corner of Syca’s mouth twitched a little, his smirk widening just a fraction as he turned his head and look straight ahead again before replying, “Well, maybe I should stop then.”

"Maybe, but it'd be a waste. Your doing it now," Apollo replied, thankful for the release of the pressure on his arms. Made sitting there being quiet a lot more comfortable. Moving his free hand to poke at Syca's cheek with a grin. "And now your just going to look away from me to hide it. Spoil sport." Well he was wasn't he? All he wanted was a smile. @sycamore MARI @ GS!

| it's like i'm | sleepwalking “Harldy,” Syca replied simply, still looking forward to hide it from the redhead, though he still noticed anyway..
He had shifted again slightly after Syca had given him more leeway to move his arm, though he still held it fairly tightly. in his grip. This still didn’t restrict his companion any from turning to poke him in the face. The dark haired man turned to him, putting on a frown again.
“There, it’s gone now,” he said. “I’m not trying to hide anything..” @apollo ☾sycamore dayan |

Hardly was still smiling, he couldn't get out of it. He had memory evidence that the normally straight faced Sycamore Dayan could actually smile, he was sure few would believe him but it was true! It had happened and that was good enough for him. "Hardly is something you know!""Spoil sport," Apollo repeated, pouting slightly as his hand moved from poking the man in the cheek to making an attempt to play with his hair. "Just smile for me every once in a while, that's all I want from you ... please," he added, shifting his body weight slightly so he was sitting on the backs of his legs so he could make some proper eye contact for once. @sycamore MARI @ GS!

| it's like i'm | sleepwalking Syca sighed a little. It looked like Apollo wasn’t going to give up on the whole smiling thing anytime soon. Personally, he didn’t understand why it was such a big deal. So what if he didn’t smile as much as others thought was enough? It really wasn’t their business anyway.
When Apollo switched to playing with his hair, Syca glanced back over at him, meeting his eye. He suppressed another sigh at the redhead’s request, but he figured that Apollo wasn’t going to give up on this anytime soon.
“Alright, fine,” the older man agreed, and he gave him a small smile. It was almost barely noticeable, but it was a real one, not a smirk this time. That should satisfy him, he figured. @apollo || omg how did i miss this gomen ☾sycamore dayan |

There it was, a smile. Not a smirk, grin or grimace, an actual smile! Oh well didn't he feel special, this had to be some kind of miracle or something. Fate had smiled fondly upon him today, just like Syca was doing right now. "Aww, doesn't it just warm your heart?" the redhead muttered under his breath with a smirk. He was going to have to get back to work soon though, something which he really wasn't feeling in the mood to do at the current moment. "Don't let them take me, I'm not ready to die. Too young, too pretty," Apollo asked, glancing over the circus floor to try and spot someone that might drag him away from his relaxation time. @sycamore MARI @ GS!
