(This was written as a sort of au to my bright blue eyes story. Enjoy!)

In the heart of Gotham City, Joker's hideout was filled with laughter and chaos, as per usual. Little did anyone know that amidst the madness, Joker had a secret room tucked away, housing his most cherished collection.

Inside the room, shelves adorned with various Batman-themed items lined the walls. There were action figures, comic books, posters, and even a life-size Batman cardboard cutout. Joker had spent years amassing these items, each one a testament to his fascination with the Dark Knight.

Harley Quinn, Joker's loyal companion, knew about the room's existence, but she had never ventured inside. She respected Joker's privacy and knew how much these items meant to him, even if she couldn't fully comprehend his obsession with Batman. She did sometimes steal batman things from stores if he couldn't grab anything, knowing that her puddin would want them for his collection.

One day, Batman decided to pay a surprise visit to Joker's hideout. He was going there because he totally didn't want to see if Joker had feelings for him...what? Nooooo....okay, yeah that's exactly why he was there. He was looking to see if he could find anything that would show that Joker liked him, though he doubted he would find anything.

Batman then noticed a door that said 'Jokers special room, don't go inside' so obviously, Batman was curious. He thought the door would have been locked though but to his surprise it was open, he slowly pushed the door open and his eyes widened in shock.

At first, Batman was taken aback by the discovery. He couldn't believe what he was seeing - Joker, the villain who dedicated his life to opposing him, had an entire room filled with Batman memorabilia. The sight was both amusing and confusing. He couldn't believe what he was seeing! What does this mean?! Is this the evidence he was searching for?

Feeling a mix of embarrassment and curiosity, Batman couldn't resist the temptation to explore further. He carefully examined each item, trying to understand Joker's motives behind this peculiar collection. 'Does this mean he likes me?! Why would he collect all this stuff? It's only batman stuff too! This doesn't show that he hates me...would someone collect stuff of the person they hate..?' He questioned, confused.

Just as Batman was deep in thought, Joker walked into the room. His eyes widened in surprise, realizing that Batman had uncovered his secret. He nervously chuckled, trying to downplay the situation. His face was a bright red as he nervously stood in the doorway.

"Ah, Batsy! I see you've stumbled upon my little hideaway. Impressive, isn't it?" Joker said, trying to mask his unease. He walked further into the room and stood next to Batman. Batman looked at Joker with a mix of bewilderment and flustered embarrassment.

"I... I didn't expect this, Joker. Why do you have all this Batman stuff?" He asked him, his face was red under his mask, his heart racing.
Joker hesitated for a moment before admitting, "Well, you see, Batsy, I have a... slight obsession with you. The way you fight for justice, your dark and mysterious persona, it's all so intriguing. I just couldn't resist collecting these items to honor our rivalry, you know?" He tells him, trying to play it off.

Batman's stern expression softened as he listened to Joker's explanation. He was taken aback by the unexpected confession and couldn't help but feel a strange sense of flattery. He still didn't quite believe that this was merely because he liked their rivalry.

"It's just, well, I find our battles thrilling, and having all this Batman stuff somehow makes me feel closer to you," Joker continued nervously, unsure of how Batman would react. Batman paused for a moment, trying to process the revelation. He never expected Joker to express admiration for him in such a bizarre way. His heart continued to race as he awkwardly placed a Batman figure down on the shelf.

Joker noticed the Batman cardboard cut out in the corner of the room, he quickly ran over to it and hide it behind his back, he nervously smiled at Batman. Batman looked back at him confused but then smiled a little.

"You know, Joker, you could have just asked to team up or have a friendly chat instead of this whole elaborate collection," Batman replied, trying to maintain his composure. Joker chuckled, a twinkle in his eye. "Where's the fun in that, Batsy? Besides, this way, I can continue being the unpredictable wild card that you love to hate!" He exclaimed, proudly.

Batman rolled his eyes playfully at this, now feeling a little calmer. Sure, his heart was still racing and his face was super red but he felt like things were back to normal. Though, it seemed that his suspicions are correct...but he doesn't wanna think about it right now.

As the two archenemies bantered back and forth, an unexpected understanding formed between them. Batman wasn't sure what he was gonna say to Alfred when he got back home but he was probably gonna continue to be in denial for a little longer.

And so, Joker's secret room of Batman memorabilia remained a testament to the complex relationship between the Dark Knight and the Clown Prince of crime.
