Got any jealousy headcanons for Arthur and joker?

Anonymous

Here we are! Sorry I'm so slow. I know you technically requested Joker, but because of how I interpret the film, I don't really believe in writing them as two separate characters/ interpretations. If you want to know more about that, you can message me or send an ask. So this is really just about Arthur. Sorry if thats disappointing! Also, I'm so weak in the knees for jealous Arthur that I just did a combo of some bullet points and a small drabble. Reminder that requests are open, so if you like what you see and want more, feel free to send something in!

Before you had met Arthur, you had gone out as you pleased with anyone you wanted. But he had quickly become your entire world after you two had met, which you didn't really mind. Every time you went out, he would have the worst anxiety. More often than not, he would even stalk you, and you would catch glimpses of a yellow hoodie while you were out with a friend.When you have friends over, he leans against the wall and watches closely the person that he suspects may be taking you away from him. You have to tell him to keep his hands off of you in the possessive way he does while you have friends over, not wanting to scare your friends away with how hungry he always was for you.He would often hold you like iron when given the chance, whether you were alone or whether you both were with someone.His possessiveness mainly stems from his insecurities,which you recognize, and try to help him through, while reminding him that you love him, as difficult as it all can be sometimes.He'll cross his arms around his chest, hunched over, frowning, leaning against the wall in the background while you talk to your guests when you have them over the apartment. And as soon as you grant him permission to touch you again, he will engulf you in his arms like he is starved, holding onto you for life, glaring at your friend like they are a predator. Once he's satisfied with that and your friend is gone, he will brush his lips against your cheeks and mutter things into your ear, such as "I don't want him coming over again".In bed, he goes wild, obsessed with marking you all over to make sure it is physically apparent that no one else is allowed to touch you "like that".He melts when you tell him how much you mean to him, that he's irreplaceable to you, that absolutely nothing and no one can take you away from him, because you are his, and he is your Arthur.If you want him to come instantly, you tell him how obsessed you are with him, that you can't imagine yourself without him, that he occupies your thoughts day and night, especially when you're craving him and not currently with him.Though you try to set healthy boundaries for each other, at the end of the day, you both crave each other too much to really give much of a damn about how unhealthily obsessed you are with one another.

You hadn't been answering his messages all day.

Arthur's hands were sweating like he had been running a marathon, even though he had just been sitting on his couch for the past two hours, legs bouncing, thinking of nothing but you and where you were. He knew you had been out with a friend, you had told him the night before that you were going to be late coming home. Yet, he still worried like crazy, and deep into his mind, he was selfishly angry that he didn't have you in his arms right now, feeling entitled to having you in arms after a certain time of the day.

The door finally creaked open, and he leaped up like an excited dog.

"Love!" You shouted happily. "I'm home!"

He jumped up, brown curls bouncing. He always greeted you as if he hadn't seen you in years, his arms finding his way around your beloved waist as soon as you were within his reach.

Arthur looked you in the eyes. "Where have you been? You've been gone longer than you said," he muttered softly, his words gentle but sounding bruised, as if they had been punched.
