Happy Mask Salesman x Reader. Too Valuable.

He was just pacing around the narrow room inside the tower at that small place called Clock Town, his usually smiling face contorted in a worried grimace and the ticking of the clock wasn’t helping by tensing his body by every minute that passed.

This was the Third of three days that he gave that little blond and the fairy for retrieving the boy’s “Object” and his own mask. They had less, oh too much less than 24 hours to complete that task, and then the town would be smashed by the moon, or the events will repeat again, if the world was lucky. And the salesman knew that the young hero didn’t have a clue on how to take away the mask from that filthy imp.

It was nearly Eleven O’clock.

He was beginning to regret all the fighting and battle he gave to get that damned mask.

He sighed and waited for the hero, waited for the heavy door to open. What it did, for revealing not the young blond, but a stunning girl with (h/l) (h/c) hair and venturesome (e/c) eyes. What was curious about her was the fact that she held three giant suitcases in her hands and a thin boat attached to her back.

“¿Whoa-What?” she said, seeming as surprised as the redhead man in front of her “He he!
I’m sorry, fella. Didn’t know you were here, coming la-“

She was about to go when a white slender hand pulled her with unbelievable strength towards the man, locking them both inside the tower.

    “Now, now, ¿Where do you think you are going, dear?” his high pitched, silky and mischievous voice travelled down to her ears.

She turned to him and analyzed his face seeing he was smiling… again. And she had to admit, that smile was intimidating, scary, and sent goose bumps down her spine… No, it wasn’t that smile what did that, it was him. There was something in this man that seemed to scare the hell out of the girl, and she didn’t know what.

“A little company wouldn’t damage me, lovely” he sang melodiously.

He was creepy, yet mysterious and interesting, what made her agree and stay next to him.

“¿Are you a traveller, lovely? That would explain your little package” Yep, he made fun of her humongous baggage. And she would take it back, as soon as he would unconsciously give her a chance.

“Nope” She said relaxed, trying to not frighten herself by the redhead’s strange manners.

And the fact that he was calling her “Lovely”.

“¿How’s is this sweet creature named, eh?” he asked swinging himself back and forth. She was so killing him for saying that.

“(y/n). (y/n) (l/n)” She said simply, with a mocking grin plastered in her face, ignoring his creepy own one. ”Enchanted, pleased to meet you”

She extended her hand towards him, offering it as a greeting, which he accepted pleased, taking her hand in his own and kissing it. ‘Ye! Unexpected’ She thought as her face and probably whole body turned as red as his hair.

“What were you trying to do, (y/n), inside this damp and horrid tower, eh?”

“I would ask you the same”

“…Clever” His expression turned disappointed while he frowned slightly “Anyways. ¿What were you doing?” He said putting emphasis in the question repeated.

He wouldn’t give up.

She sighed, throwing her shoulders down, as a sign of giving up. “Ah, At least someone will know… Well, I saw the moon” She mimicked upwards “I saw it from the first moment, It’s getting nearer and nearer every minute, and it’s starting to worry me. I told everyone that I knew, but they seemed blind, ignoring purposely the fact that maybe the moon will end us…” she breathed seeming relieved.

He looked at her with curiousness, surprise and somehow, compassion. He thought this girl was ingenious and beautiful. Oh yeah, so beautiful, too much for being killed by a stupid falling astral body. She was fast enough to know the truth, and intelligent enough to accept it, the salesman admired her for that.

“So I decided I would escape!” She said suddenly and shrugged, making him jolt out of Dreamland. “Hey, look, I discovered once ago this river flowing under the tower, I thought I could ride it with this boat…”  She pointed the boat using her finger “..And ride it to Freedomland, I know it doesn’t flow towards the Great Bay, so I wouldn’t be, well… you know… destroyed by the moon thingy”.

“Why didn’t you came here earlier at first?”

“I just had not the opportunity…”

“Seems that our little conversation took precious time, It’s almost midnight”

His smile was nowhere to be found.

“Well, there’s a door down here too, so if I figure out how to open it-”

“It doesn’t open from this side of it. I tried” He barely turned his sight downstairs, where a corner of the door could be seen.

“So ya’re trying to flee too?” She pronounced with sad eyes, looking deep into his now opened eyes.

“Not at all, I’m waiting for something”

She looked down, blinking off unseen tears, taking off the boat and dropping her packages.

“So, It seems that we have to accept our fate”

He blinked twice and took a step forwards, taking her frame gently in his arms, and she accepted the embrace, burrowing her head in the crook of his neck, searching for comfort.

The earth began to shake violently, making little pieces of debris fall around the two new friends.

He squeezed her tightly, seeming as broken as her now. Better for the blond boy to retrieve his precious ocarina from that imp.

“Hope this isn’t our fate at all”



***
Dawn of the First Day




He found himself inside the tower again, it seemed intact, as well as the whole world. But (y/n) was gone.

But not for long. He was going to search for her, everytime that was necessary, to stay by her side until everything returned to normal, and then take her with him, to have an eternity by her side.

After teaching the hero the Song of Healing fastly and returning him to normal, he took his backpack off and went in her search.



As he thought, She was too valuable to be smashed by the moon.
