Harley Quinn + Joker OneShots

Capable of Love? Yes? No? Maybe?

It was late in Gotham. Most people would be asleep or at least in bed...except for Joker, but then again, he's not like most people. Instead, he was in his study, trying to come up with new and better plans, especially since the last one went so terribly. He needed a way to find Batman....but little did he know, that Batman actually found him.
He managed to find Joker and Harley's hideout and he even hid a camera in their bedroom. You see, he wanted to prove something to Robin. Earlier this week, Robin said something that sounded insane to Batman.
//Earlier this week//
"Maybe Joker does actually care for Harley.."
//Present time//
Since then, Bruce made it his mission to prove that Joker didn't love Harley. He was currently watching the surveillance of their bedroom. Harley was lying in their makeshift bed, but was wide awake. She couldn't sleep, and it was obvious on why.
At 5:34 a.m, their bedroom door creaked open and Joker sluggishly walked in. He undid his tie and took off his shirt and pants. He crawled into the other side of the bed, opposite of Harley.
She spoke up,"Tough night?"
"Isn't it a little late for you to still be up?"
She rolled her eyes and smiled slightly "More like a little early"
He chuckled softly at her remark
"You should be asleep Harls"
"You should be too"
"I have work to do...things I have to take care of"
"Well, taking care of yourself should be number one on the list"
He sighed "There's more important things"
"Nothing's more important than you and your health"
"Maybe if you didn't nag me, then I'd be better and healthier" he said sarcastically, but instantly regretted it as she went silent
"Sorry if I don't want you to die from lack of sleep" she said softly
"If I haven't died yet, then I think I'll survive without a few hours of meaningless sleep"
"I worry about you"
"Then you worry over nothing"
"Well, don't you worry about me?"
"I worry that dinner won't be made when I get home everyday" he joked
"And I'm worried that you're head might explode one day because it can't contain your huge ass ego"
He laughed "I don't have that big of.....well maybe.."
She smiled and laughed softly "Maybe?"
"Oh shut up" he joked
They both laughed
"Harls?"
"Yes?"
He sighed softly "Come here"
She moved from her side of the bed to his. She wrapped her arms around him and laid her head on his chest. Joker wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close. He lightly kissed the top of her head as she smiled.
"When are you gonna get up?"
He chuckled, "Why do you ask Harls?"
She sat up a bit and looked at him, "Because I know you. I know you're gonna get up after hardly sleeping and go straight back to that damn office."
"At least I do something meaningful around here."
"Meaningful? Is that why all your plans fail? Because they're 'meaningful?'"
He wanted to slap her. Hit her. Make her take it back. She didn't have the right to say that to him. He wanted her to pay. Even though he was the one that took it a step further. After all, she's just worried. After all, she...cares. 'You probably offended her with what you said in return, that's why she fired back' he thought. He was going to hit her, teach her yet another lesson, but when he looked into those baby blue eyes, he saw how she already prepared herself for the blow. He wrapped his arms around her tightly. She laid her head back down on his chest.
"I didn't mean it Mistah J, I'm sorry"
"Don't be."
He gently ran his fingers through her hair.
"Babygirl?"
"Yes?"
"Why do you stay with me? After everything? Why do you continue to stay?"
"Simple. Why do you let me stay?"
He thought about it. Why indeed did he let her? A million answers came to mind, but only one rang the truth. He loved her.
"I love you Harley. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise."
"I love you too. Try to sleep in, okay?"
He smiled and chuckled softly, "Yes mam."
She rolled her eyes and snuggled  closer to him.
Batman and Robin watched the whole thing from surveillance.
Robin spoke in something that almost sounded like shock mixed with amazement,"Wow.....he really does love her"
Batman stayed silent. He watched the two for a few more seconds before finally turning it off. He got up and left without a word. Robin looked from his mentor, then back at the now, black screen. 'I wonder if.....no that couldn't be' Robin thought. Did Batman actually feel something for Harley? Robin shook his head. No, no, it couldn't be. 'But then again...' He thought before he, himself went to sleep for the night.
