Joker perched against the headboard of the Arkham asylum bed he was given, the straightjacket he was wearing giving is arms a sickeningly sweet sort of ache. He was bored, bored out of his mind and angry at Bruce for putting him in here.
He remembered his boyfriend's promise; "Stay in the asylum for a week at most, and then you can see the present I have for you". It had only been two days, and the lack of entertainment and the meds they had him on making him feel restless despite his restricted movement. His attention was quickly caught towards the door of his personal jail, the eyeslot slid open and the eyes of the guard peering through to him.
"You have a visitor" The guard said with a sigh of resentment, and the Joker quickly perked up at those words. Who could it be? Harley, coming to break him out? Gordon, looking for answers on the bombing he did a week prior? Buzzing with excitement, he stood as the creaky door opened slowly.
Bruce Wayne stood with a smile and a small basket of freshly baked cookies, probably what Alfred had prepared. The guard slammed the door with a thud, and Bruce sat across from him on a rickety chair. "Brucey!~" Joker hummed softly, a grin on his face that barely hid his anger. "For what do I owe the displeasure?"
"I know, I know, you're angry. But you know exactly why I had to lock you up" His boyfriend explained sheepishly, but Joker wasn't having it. "Last time I checked, doting boyfriend's don't do that in this day and age" He rolled his eyes, pouting like a child. He was bored out of his mind, and Bruce hadn't even came to say he could break out early! It was enraging.
"I know, and I'm sorry. I got you a surprise, though" Bruce said softly, digging his hand into the freshly baked goods. From the bottom of the basket, he pulled out a familiar purple and green flip-phone. "Batsy! You didn't!" Joker beamed, rushing over with child-like excitement.
"Let's just say that Batman 'left' something in the Asylum last night" Bruce said with a smile. "I know you're in your straightjacket until tomorrow, but I though if you ever wanted to talk, or just to play a game or something. I know how boring you find it in here"
As best as he could considering his restriction, he wrapped his boyfriend into a hug, but Bruce assisted him in pulling them closer together. Joker left a small peck on his cheek, grin widened and grateful.
"I thought someone had a meeting tonight?" Joker asked, sitting next to his boyfriend, head rested within the others shoulder. "I cancelled. Wasn't important, though Alfred disagrees" Bruce chuckled. "He always has been a stick in the mud!" Joker teased with a playful grin.
"I guess you won't be wanted any of his chocolate chip cookies, then" Bruce teased, holding one up to his mouth and taking a large bite. He over exadurated his movements, pretending it was the best thing he'd ever ate, vocalisiting as such. "Really, you're missing out! These are the best"
Joker huffed, giving Bruce another one of his childish pouts. "Pleeease? For lil' ol' me?" He asked sickeningly sweetly, and the richer man couldn't resist helping him take a bite of one.
Even if it had only been a few days, they both missed moments like these. Where they could just be in each others company, ignoring the outside world. Well, until Joker got bored, of course. But they both knew they'd always turn into each others arms, whether Batman or Bruce Wayne.
And they both wouldn't have it any other way.
