Nico finished with his fifth spirit for the evening and sent it back to wherever they all came from. He turned back to the audience and bowed theatrically. The ring master came to stand beside him, queuing him to leave.

He found Leo waiting for him just outside the tent flap. He was dressed in tight shiny trousers and a sparkly stage shirt, Nico was glad he only had to wear the make-up. Although he had to admit it looked good on the other guy.

"I guess I should get on there." They leaned in for a quick kiss before Leo stepped through the tent flap and onto the stage.

"Please welcome to the tent the fabulous LIGHT-UP LEO!

Leo looked fabulous under the bright spotlight. He had a huge genuine smile unlike Nico's which he put on for the crowd.

Leo began his act by breathing fire, well he projected fire from his hands held by his mouth, then went on to juggle flaming colas he'd removed from the fire a the centre of the ring.

As Leo preformed Nico couldn't help noticing that he looked really hot - like attractive hot, well temperature hot too because of the fire and all but mostly attractive hot - in those tight trousers. And the shirt that was half unbuttoned glittered in the fire light making Nico's trousers feel tight too.

After what felt like an age to Nico the fire user finished up his at and was bowing to the crowd.

He came back out to join the Ghost King. Leo slung an arm around Nico's slim shoulders and felt the familiar presence of Nico's arm at is waist. They walked back to their caravan pressed close together, both in a hurry to get somewhere more private.
