Sucker For Pain ✔

Chapter 33

(HARLEY's POV)

Waking up, I feel a bit... quickly running to the bathroom toilet, I puke inside the toilet. There's a water on the sink with a note.

Merry Christmas, thought you might puke- so here's your water. I'll be home soon. -Your Puddin

Ugh... drinking the water, I read the note over and over again. Brushing my teeth, I spit out the foam- washing the inside of my mouth.

Where could you be! It's fucking Christmas! We're supposed to spend valuable time together.

Guess I better prepare the food.

. . .

Setting the food on the table, I put on an ugly Christmas sweater with some dark blue jeans.

"All I want for Christmas is you!" I sing along with the song, suddenly I feel arms go around my waist.

"You, baby." I hear my Puddin sing along. Turning around, I see my greened hair cutie.

"I love your voice Puddin." I laugh, swaying back and fourth. Looking at the Christmas tree, there's a LARGE present.

"What's that?" I ask.

"My gift.. to you, it's why I took so long. It's why I've been gone almost all the time." He says

"That's why? I thought you got tired of me already, you probably wanted this back." I lift my left hand up, showing my ring.

"No... I can never get tired of you." He laughs.

"Let's eat! Wait, our shirts!" I say, looking at our matching ugly sweaters.

"Yup." He smiles.

"Now... let's eat." He says, sitting down at the kitchen table.

(JOKER's POV)

Washing the dishes, she sits in the living room. As I'm finished, I head over to the living room ; revealing the tree.

"Let's unwrap these presents!" She yells, handing me a gift.

Shaking it, I hear nothing... what could it be?
Opening it, there's another box inside. "A box in a box? Clever." I mutter.

Opening the small box inside, there's another box ; a much small one.

"Another?" I ask.

"Yep." She smiles.

Opening it, there's a necklace that says H + J

"I love it Honey.." I say, putting it on.

"I knew you would Puddin!" She says smiling widely.

Picking up a present, I hand it to her. I'll save the best for last. She quickly opens it, revealing the green sweater.

"Mrs.J, eh?" She says while laughing.

"Do you like it?" I quickly ask.

"Of course I do!" She says hugging the sweater.

After a couple minutes of trading presents, it's finally time for my final/best present of the night. Picking up the gigantic wooden box, I place it in front of her.

As she gapes at the large box I've placed in front of her, I quickly say something. "Before you open it, I just want to say that I worked very hard on this. And I truly hope you like it. More than like, love. Cherish." I say.

"Open it." I say once more.

She opens it slowly, scared what would be in the box.
She then takes the lid off the top, and her eyes quickly widen ; then she looks back at me then back the present.

"Puddin..." she mutters
