I opened my eyes to see Jack cuddled up next to me, his head rested in my neck and his arm around me. He's so cute when he's sleeping, so innocent. All until he wakes up, then Gotham has to deal with a psychotic clown. My psychotic clown. Suddenly Jack stirred a bit, but kept his eyes closed, though I know he's awake. "Morning." I whispered to him. "Five more minutes." He mumbled into my neck, which made me laugh cause it tickled. His head shot up with a smirk painted on his face, I instantly stopped laughing. "Your ticklish huh." He said with a smirk. I shook my head no, but he moved his hands to my hips and started tickling me. God dammit Jack! I tried my best to get away but it was absolutely hopeless. I laughed so hard tears started to run down my cheeks. Jack started to laugh too, then finally he stopped. I continued laughing until suddenly I felt his lips crash onto mine. I instantly stopped laughing and kissed back, wrapping my arms around his neck. I heard him moan a couple of times which made me giggle. His lips left mine then he started kissing my neck. Oh he's teasing me, how dare he. "Are you teasing me?" I asked, raising my eyebrow slightly. "No." He answered between kisses. I grabbed his cheeks and brought his face up to mine. Our lips met again, this is perfect, I missed this so damn badly. After a while we stopped and laid in silence in each other's arms, me lying on top of him. Isn't it crazy that I've fallen in love with this sick clown that I used to despise? "I just want to stay like this all day." He whispered into my ear, kissing it slightly. I hummed in agreement and stared at his bare tattooed chest, slowly tracing the "ha ha ha" tattoos. Suddenly there was a knock at the door and Harley's voice could be heard. "Uh Mistah J, the boys need ya downstairs." She called, then heard her soft footsteps walk away. "Screw them, I'd rather be with my Angel." He sighed, slight annoyance in his tone. It's cute how he'd rather be with me then deal with his work. "It might be important." I say softly. He groaned then slowly sat up. "I'll be right back." He walked over to the door, but before he left he turned to look at me. He smiled to me, and I smiled back, then he left. I love him so much

~Joker's POV~
I love her so much, but I need to tell her. I should have told her just then, it was the perfect moment. No, I know what the what the perfect moment is, a date. I have to set up a date for us. I headed downstairs to see what the heck it was that my boys needed so badly that I had to leave Maddie. Turns out, all it was was a weapons delivery of mine got delayed a bit. Now usually I would flip out over this, but now I couldn't care less. I just want to get back to my Angel. What she said to me yesterday it... I don't know but it felt good. 'I'm not afraid of you, I'm afraid of losing you'. Before I go back upstairs I have to plan out this date, it has to be perfect. I know! First I'll take her to Gotham's fanciest restaurant, and then I'll take her down to the docs. Yea I know what you're thinking, 'why the docs?', well that place might not be on the top ten most romantic spots of Gotham, but you can a beautiful view there. Yes, that's a perfect date. I headed back upstairs to Maddie and slowly opened the door, only to find her lying in the exact spot I left her in. She was staring out the window and hasn't noticed me yet, so I snuck into the room and over to the bed. But before I could jump onto the bed she turned her head to look at me, dammit. "Boo." She said with a small smirk. I jumped onto the bed and pulled her close to me. "Uh Maddie." I'm so nervous, why am I so nervous? Maybe cause I've never done anything like this before and never planned to. Until I met her. "Hmm." "You're not doing anything tonight, right?" Stupid stupid stupid. She chuckled slightly and shook her head. "No, don't think so. Why?" I took a deep breath and thought of what to say. Come on Jack you can do this, you can do... I'm hopeless. "Will you join me for dinner tonight?"

~Angel's POV~
His words took me by surprise. Did he just ask me out on a date? Oh my god he did! This will be the perfect time to tell him I love him. "Like a date?" I asked sitting up, him doing the same. "Call it what you want." He leaned forward so our heads were leaning on each other. "A date sounds nice." I gave him a small peck on the lips. I'm so excited, I've never been on a date before, and I imagine he hasn't either. "How about we go at six?" I looked over at the clock on my bed side table, and realised it was 4:36 pm. Damn we slept in. "Six sounds great. Now get out so I can get ready." I playfully pushed him off the bed and out the door. Jack headed off to his room and I went over the Harley's, I need her help with this. I knocked on her door and called out her name, then she finally opened it. "Harley I need your help. J just asked me out on a date and I don't know what to wear!" I said kinda quickly. She cupped her cheeks and squealed very loudly. Well someone's excited. "Finally! I've been waiting for him to ask you for ages!" She quickly grabbed my wrist and dragged me back into my room, closing the door behind us. She pushed me down onto the bed and opened up my wardrobe. I have nothing I would wear on a date, nothing fancy. "Do you have any dresses? Like at all?" She asked, throwing all my clothes onto the floor. Why the heck would have a dress I... oh wait, yes I do. The one that Jack gave me to wear when we had to go to Wayne Manor, I remember. "Wait, found one. Ooo, it's really pretty." She pulled the dress out and placed it down next to me on the bed. "Harley there's no way I'm-" "Maddie this is your first date, and whether you like it or not you're wearing that dress." She stubbornly interrupted. "Fine then, but I'm not wearing heels." I got up and pulled my black converse out from under the bed. "Here, wear this too." Harley chucked over my leather jacket and I caught it. I headed into the bathroom and quickly changed. The dress fits perfectly, nice guess of my size Jack.

I walked back out to Harley and she started squealing again. "Maddie you look amazing! Do me a little twirl." I smirked and slowly turned around for her. "Now for makeup and hair." She grabbed my wrist and pulled me back into her room and into her bathroom. "Okay you got me to wear a dress, but no way in absolute hell am I wearing makeup!" I said stubbornly. I hate makeup, it makes people look so fake. Erm, no offence to Jack and Harley. "A little makeup ain't hurt no one, now sit." She demanded. I sat down on the stool near the sink and turned my body to face her. She plugged in a hair straightener then opened up the top draw which contained all her makeup. Damn there's a lot in there. "Not too much please." She nodded and started with a bit of blush. Once she was done with that she put on a bit mascara and skin colour eye shadow. "Nearly done Puddin." She smiled as she pulled out some lipstick. It was a light pink, did I also mention I hate pink? She applied the lipstick and took a step back, admiring her work. "Wow Maddie, you look so pretty." She smiled, turning the stool so I could look in the mirror. I have to admit, I really do look pretty. A small smile spread across my face. Harley picked up the straightener and started straightening my hair. After a bit straightening and tying, she turned the stool  around so I could see. She had done a flower with the top half of my hair and the rest sat nicely on my shoulders. "Damn girl you look good." Harley said as I stood up, not taking my eyes off my reflection. I hope Jack likes it. We left Harley's room and we slowly walked down the hallway towards the stairs. I could hear Jack at the bottom talking to Jonny. "Imma do an introduction." Harley whispered to me. I nodded and she made her way to the steps. "Now the moment you've all been waiting for, Mistah... J..." she paused for a bit as she looked over at him with a shocked expression. Okay, now I'm super nervous. A large smile spread across Harley's face as she reached over and pulled me over. "I give you... Angel." I looked over at Jack and completely froze. "Woah." Jack and I said at the same time.
