"What does that make you?" Ed asked quietly, once Joker had finished telling him about the kiss. They were still in the hospital room, and Penguin was fast asleep. Batman was still waiting outside.

"I don't think we're dating." Joker's blush was heavily spread throughout his entire face. "I cannot believe that just happened!"

"Congratulations." Smiled Nygma, and picked at his nails. "I can't believe Oswald missed it."
"He is going to freak out." Joker said, unable to sit down or hold still because of the crazy mood he was in.

"You've kissed the Bat, what, twice now? Don't you think it's time to start dating or something?" Riddler asked, looking back at Joker.
The Joker nervously pulled on his pink shirt.

"I can't just walk back out there and say 'do you wanna date' since I already came back inside, Ed." He mumbled.
"Sure you can. Stop overthinking."
"Oh, you're telling me."

"Oh gosh." Joker danced around, still feeling the Bat's lips against his own.
Nygma grinned at him. "Go ask him."

"We'll never be able to date! A bad guy against a good guy? Especially when we're Batman and the Joker. Are you crazy, Ed?" Joker hissed, hopping around the room.

"Says you as you're... hopping around like a pogo stick." Riddler smirked. "You look ridiculous. Stop it before Oswald wakes up."
"Oh my word, Ed, it's not the at easy! The BATMAN just kissed me!" Joker panicked, unable to stay still.

"What now? He's going to arrest me? Does this mean I'm a hero now, or is he a villain?" He said, rubbing a hand through his hair and quickly walking to the window.
Edward stood up and stood beside Joker at the window.

"Calm down." Nygma told him. "No Penguin tantrums, okay? We know how that ended."
"Jeez, Nygma. I can't even think clearly right now." Joker bit his lip, and Ed grabbed his shoulder.

"You can talk about it with him later, then. It's not a big deal."
"Okay, okay, fine!" Joker laughed, stressed out. "Is Ozzie looking any better?"

"Girl he is fast asleep." Riddler said. Joker laughed again, slightly more at ease. "I don't recommend waking him up, when you were out there the Nurse tried it and his hand smacked her in the face. He was literally unconscious."

Joker cackled. "The nurse freaking quit her job after she came into the hall. Me and Batman kissing must have been her last straw."
"I'll tell the front desk that room 112 needs a new nurse." Riddler grimaced, and walked outside.

Joker blew out a breath of air. It was just him and Oswald in the room now, and the heart monitor slowly beeping.
Joker went over to Penguin and softly touched his hand.

"I wonder if they took the bullet out." He mumbled under his breath, but didn't dare to lift the sheets so he could see for himself.
"Yeah, it's out." Oswald's eyes opened slightly.

"Morning, sleepyhead. You were out for half an hour, probably." Joker smiled down at him.
"Where's Ed?" He asked, holding onto Joker's hand.

"He went to find you a good nurse. Your usual one quit because your hand hit her while you were unconscious."
Penguin giggled. "Where's Batman?"

"Outside of the room. He's worried about you, too. He never wanted to hurt you." Joker said, fixing some of Oswald's hair. "Something happened between us just now, but I'm going to wait until you feel better to tell you."

"No, I want to hear it now." Penguin said. He tried to sit up but immediately clutched his stomach. Oswald groaned in pain.
"Lay down!" Joker told him, and helped put him back under the covers. He covered his eyes. "Oh gosh, you can't even sit up."
