{Circus!AU x Monsta X}

someone asked for another monsta x au or all the members, so here ya go!! other monsta x crossover aus: alice in wonderland | androids

Shownu

strongman

basically does a bunch of strength orientated stunts like breaking a tower of boards in half, bending metal, picking up participants with one hands

swole, standoffish looking, can lift (but the reality is,,,,,he’s a sweet guy who looks out after all the other circus performers)

always tells the danger act performers to be careful and complains that kihyun is getting too skinny

can lift like,,,,,six kids at once and they just hang off his arms

kids always call him ‘tree guy’ or ‘big building’ and shownu is like,,,,,,,yes. that’s me

gets to wear one of those tanktops that show off the Arms and,,,,,,a lot of people stare. like a lot

shownu’s oblivious to it

just like you assume he’s oblivious to you,,,,one of the circus makeup artists

you know that to keep up his strength shownu eats a lot more than the average person

so you always make a habit of giving him healthy snacks when you see him

and shownu is always like,,,he does the soft smile that smushes his face up and makes you melt

and is like thank you! you’re so kind!

and minhyuk is like where is my snack and ur like,,,,,,,it’s just for shownu,,,,

and everyone is like of course ;) it’s just for ;) shownu ;) cuz you ;) like him ;)

and you’re not even TRYING to be subtle about it like you basically have heart eyes when he comes around,,,but you’re also like shownu will never know

because he’s super bad at reading signals

but one afternoon as you’re getting ready to do makeup shownu drops by and hands you a crepe from one of the foodtrucks

and you’re like oh! this is my favorite kind how did you know

and shownu is like,,,,ive seen u look cute and happy eating it before,,,,

and you’re like ohh wow- wait did you just call me cute?!??!

and shownu goes red and he’s like “y-yes,,,,i like you i thought it was obvious but-”

and you’re like WHAT I LIKE YOU?? it wAS SO OBVIOUS TOO

and you’re both staring at each other in shock,,,,before breaking into nervous embarrassed laughter

but it’s cute you guys make a plan for a little date after the circus performance tonight

maybe go,,,,get something to eat? hehe

bonus: you’re like he asked me out and everyone is so happy but then kihyun is like his hand is like ten times the size of yours how r u going to hold it and everyone is like kihyun shUTTUP

Hyungwon

magician

his whole act has a sarcastic undertone where he’s like “i bet you all think im using a mirror for this trick to deceive you because magic isn’t real blah blah blah well you’re WRO- right. completely right.”

wonho once observed that hyungwon is the most,,,uninterested magician he’s ever met

hyungwon: yeah. but im good at what i do right?

wonho: well-

hyungwon pulling a dollar from behind wonho’s ear: you were saying?

wonho in awe: :O

he does all the basics; card tricks, disappearing acts, floating acts, slicing people in half, coin tricks, you name it - he can do it

likes getting into arguments with participants

like he’ll pull someone up and they’ll be like

“i know this is all fake”

and he’s like

“it is, and yet here you are - paying to see it.”

you’re one of his assistants for the trick where he saws you in half and everytime you practice it before

hyungwon is like so lazy about it but ur like hey hey this is my liFE

even if it is just a ‘trick’ of the eye,,,there’s still dangerous things involved and hyungwon swinging the damn saw around is like “it’s fine im a pro!”

but once he really does give you a big scare,,,and you get mad because like

he can be as sarcastic and as uncaring as he wants,,,but you wish he’d at least show some empathy toward you

someone who he’s worked with for a long time

and,,,,usually you get over it but you can’t

and hyungwon finds you outside of the circus grounds and he’s like

“hey,,,,,” and tries to do something like pull a flower from behind your collar but you’re not having it

and he’s like

“i know,,,you think i don’t care but you mean a lot to me. ill even throw away the stupid cutting in half act if it makes you feel safer,,,”

this makes you turn,,,hyungwon is usually hellbent on keeping things the same - it makes it easier

“i,,it’s fine i just wish you would be more careful - i mean,,,i don’t want to die hyungwon.”

he gives you a small smile and your heart skips a beat

“id never let you die,,,,,id pull out all the magic inside me to save you.”

you:,,,,,,,,,,,that’s corny. i didn’t know you had it in you

hyungwon holding your hand now: don’t tell anyone - you know i have dirt on you too.

Wonho:

firebreathing

don’t tell him he can breath fire because he’s so smoking hot - he’s heard that one before

but his act does include breathing fire while shirtless,,,,so

cool tattoo of a dragon on his chest,,you know,,,to go with the ‘firebreather’ aesthetic

everyone always leaves thinking he’s some badass who breaks hearts or whatever

but again,,,he’s nothing like that. the most badass thing about wonho is his firebreathing everything else is like

him being friendly to animals and getting spooked by the shittiest pranks kihyun and minhyuk pull

whenever someone is being annoying hyungwon is always like wonho - breath fire on them

and wonho is like hyungwon,,,i can’t do that you know that

he’s cute and he’s like safety first! when it comes to fire

you’re a standby EMT that sometimes works with the circus when they’re in town

and if there’s any act that makes you super nervous - it’s firebreathing/eating

because so so so so many things can go wrong

and so when wonho performs you’re always on edge, sweating in anticipation

there’s a moment where wonho seems to wince in pain and you damn near run out onto the stage

but it’s just a false call

and you think that if something really bad was to happen,,,,you’d probably faint

and you attribute it to the fact that like well,,,you know,,,it’s scary to watch someone risk their health like that

but your fellow EMT is like “when are you gonna tell the hot fire guy you like him”

and you’re like WHAT,,,,,i,,,,dont like wonho,,,,,,,like that

“like what?”

you turn, almost getting whiplash to look into wonho’s smiling eyes

“oh - i just,,, well-”

your fellow EMT clears their throat “they like you”

“WHAT DID YO-”

wonho goes “oh! im flattered, they’re pretty cute too!”

you turn back like huh wait what’s going on

“take them out sometime?”

“ok, i will. do you want to go out sometime?”

your head almost snaps off as you look back and forth but then you’re also nodding,,,because a date with wonho would be nice

(plus you could teach him some fire safety tricks because that would ease your heart)

bonus: you’re letting wonho look at your EMT tools and he like presses your hand to his chest and is like “what’s my heartbeat like?” and you almost die he’s so cute

Minhyuk & Jooheon

acrobatics

minhyuk also specializes in contortion while jooheon can do trampoline tricks

most of the time though they work together to do balancing acts

and boy do they ,,,,,, not match AT ALL

it’s amazing - their personalities are nothing alike and they’re always mocking each other but when it comes down to it they can do amazing things together

but minhyuk is always snorting at the fact that jooheon gets an act where he just “jumps” around

and jooheon is like just because you were born without joints or whatever doesnt mean your better than me

minhyuk: I HAVE JOINTS THEYRE JUST SOFT

shownu is always getting inbetween them so they dont like,,,kill each other

but it’s like a switch - when it’s time to perform they deliever

and have super great coordination

no one gets it,,,,but it works

minhyuk is always pushing for more bright colored leotards and jooheon is like please jesus no

that one time they dyed their hair blonde and hyungwon called them ‘egg twins’

but yeah,,,you sometimes also work with them - even though your main act is trapeze

and minhyuk is always like ,,,,,,,,,,,,, hey if you ever need a trapeze partner ;)

and jooheon is like they’d choose me - obviously, i do flying work too

minhyuk: JUMPING is not trapeze

jooheon: bite me

bur if you pick minhyuk it’s like he wants to do this super duper hard, fancy trick and you’re like i ,,, dont think you can

and minhyuk is like it’s fine!!!! i wanna make sure we do something AMAZING

and you’re like minh-

but he’s already getting excited

and OF COURSE he hurts himself, you blink and he slips off the launch board onto the netting and twists his damn ankle and you’re like ill go get the medic from the tent

and as minhyuk is getting it bandages,,,,looking shyly down away from you

you’re like WHY did you do that

and he’s like,,,,,,,he mumbles something

but when you get closer you hear its him going ‘i wanted to impress you’

and you pull back,,,embarrassed like o - oh

but also how,,,,stupidly adorable,,,fine you’ll take care of him and his dumb twisted ankle

if you agree to do it with jooheon he’s super excited about having you guys incorporate trampoline too

and you’re like i just need you to throw me off this bar and catch me

and he’s like,,,,,,,,,ok,,,,,,i can do that

but also ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, god hes bad at trapeze

it’s like he has all this coordination with minhyuk but he’s been working with him for yEARS

and you’re just like hey jooheon it’s ok we can try again

but he’s totally beating himself up about not being good enough and having to practice till her arms break yadda yadda

and you just go “it’s ok,,,,,,,,,it’s OK”

and he’s like the show is RUINED

and you’re like “pleASE it’s not, ok you know what? let’s do the trampoline idea ok”

jooheon’s eyes suddenly shining: r-really??!?!?

you in your head: holy shit he looks so cute

you: yes, fine we can jump around

jooheon: its NOT jumping around

but also jooheon kinda loves the idea of just jumping around on a trampoline,,,,holding your hand too,,,,,,,,,,,

Kihyun

ringmaster

micromanages literally everyone and everything

like his job is to lead the show, make some funny comments, be charming

which comes naturally to him

and yet he’s out here trying to figure out which shade of eyeshadow the makeup artists are going to use for the show three weeks from now

also you know he’s like “shownu are you practicing? want to pick me up with one hand for practice reasons?

shownu: you just want me to pick you up don’t you

kihyun’s tiny butt: no,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

looks cute in the top hat that’s part of his costume

wore the cape for sometime but some little kid was like that’s corny so kihyun trashed it and says NO ONE better bring it up

you’re not even part of the circus team,,,you’re actually a manger - you just make bookings and stuff

but kihyun,,,,,,loves to know everything,,,,,,,,,so you see him a lot

and sure he asks a lot of questions but you think it’s pretty adorable that he cares so much

so you’re always like excited to answer questions

and kihyun always gets super flustered because you’re the one person who seems to really really want to listen to what he has to say

so you’ll answer him with the biggest energy

and kihyun is also a big energy

and he’s just like blushy all of a sudden because you’re standing so close to him

and showing him the planner for the next week of show

and he’s just like woah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,oh,,,,,,,,,,,,,

one time you’re both talking about doing a holiday special

and kihyun suddenly goes “,,,,,,do,,,,,,,,,,did you remember my cape?”

and you’re like AH the red velvet one??? i miss it you should wear it!!!!

and kihyun is just like

that’s it,,,,they’re the one

“can i kiss you?”

“sure - wait what?”

kihyun, blushing but also ready to kiss you: is it ok?

you,,,,,,,,looking around to make sure no one is going to come into the office,,,,,,,,,,,, “go ahead”

you guys kiss and it’s soft because,,,,,,,,like,,,,,,,,,,you’re both so excited and jittery but also,,,,,,,,,,

you should have kissed like way way before

bonus: kihyun stops micromanaging because he spends all his free time with you,,,,,,,,,hehe

Changkyun

sword swallowing/knife throwing

how did he get into that? no one knows

kihyun is convinced changkyun was just born you know,,,,,,chaotic

he always wears the same fitted white shirt and vest,,,always this victorian air

and he looks so apathetic when he’s you know,,,,,,,shoving steel down his throat,,,risking death every second

the common question is,,,,aren’t you scared?

and changkyun just shrugs like nah. it’s not that scary when you’ve been doing it since you were a kid

someone: you’ve been eating swords since you were a kid

changkyun: ,,,,,,,, anyway the weathers bad

his knife throwing is also super scary,,,,,but not for like changkyun ,,,,, for the assistant and audience

because the audience is like,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,he,,,,,,he looks like he isn’t even tRYING to aim

but the assistant

who happens to be you

looks terrified (and you’re not because you know how good changkyun is) only because it has to be entertaining

and everytime after the show

like people come in hoards to ask the same question, have you ever been hurt? has he ever cut you by accident?

and you’re kinda like,,,,,,,,oh no but we’ve had heartwrenching slipups!!! or whatever just to keep the suspense

when in reality changkyun ,,,, if he knew something was off would be the first person to force you not to do the act

and it’s kind of funny,,,,changkyun comes off as this emotionless danger stunt guy

when in reality,,,,,with you,,,,he’s different

not only is he more expressive but he’s incredibly affectionate

he loves hugging you from behind while you’re helping unpack the equipment

or giving you little shoulder kisses

because,,,,,,,i know it’s a cliche but he’s the knife thrower and you’re dating him and don’t even fight me on this it’s a cute concept

every now and then changkyun will be like “should i try to eat an even BIGGER sword?”

and you have your full trust in it but you’re like please for the love of god just stick to the standard

also,,,,,you know like i was saying the semi-victorian getup is kinda a turn on like amiright

also your boyfriend can literally throw a knife with the aim of a god,,,,,somehow that’s also a turn on

but also i imagine ur the only person who gets to see the great, aim perfect changkyun miss his mouth with the spoon when you guys are eating ceral together in the morning

and u have to kiss him cuz he gets grumpy about it hehe
