Jonathan Crane (scarecrow) x Reader [Realisation]

Ok I think I ruined this request so if you hate it let me know! This was so badly done and I'm pissed cause the request was great. Welp whatever, enjoy.

.....................................................................

Three years of med school, a degree in phycology and two years working in a prison for this shit. Arkham Asylum wasn't exactly what (Y/N) had been aiming for but it's where she was. The job was basically hell, most of the inmates were perverts and all of them wanted to kill her. Every doctor there hated her so sent only the worse criminals her way. Waking up and knowing she had to go to that place was almost impossible to manage. Honestly the only reason the young girl hadn't quit was to prove to both herself and those who doubted her that she could handle it. The only saving grace there was a man named Jonathan Crane. He was weird, quiet, awkward but still she liked him. He would sometimes take difficult patients off her hands, cover late night shifts, bring her coffee and so on. Just little gestures that made the job a little easier. They weren't exactly friends but there was some kind of indescribable connection.

Mondays were the worst. So, surviving a whole Monday was a huge achievement in her eyes, which was why there was half a tub of ice cream out and Spiderman:Homecoming playing on the TV. It was the best way to spend any tough day, but something was missing.

"Chocolate sauce!" (Y/N) yelled and jumped for the kitchen.

As she was drenching the ice cream a loud ring sounded. Whoever had the audacity to interrupt a perfect evening better be armed for their sake. Looking through the peephole she saw a mop of messy black hair and rectangular glasses. Swinging the door open she met a perfect smile.

"Hello Miss (L/N)"

"Um, hey Jonathan"

"how are you?" he was calm but there was something odd hiding in his eyes.

"I'm fine. And you?" his smile changed a little and (Y/N) had to hold back a shiver.

"Fantastic, thank you"

A few moments of silence passed. Though every bone in her body was against the idea she felt the need to brake the silence and did the only thing she could think of.

"Would you like to come in?"

"Yes please" his smile was now a small grin.

Something wasn't right. It felt a little invasive to have him in her home but here they were. Once inside she offered him a drink and the two talked in the kitchen, Jonathan sat on the counter and (Y/N) just leaning. They discussed work, and then personal life, and then family, before Jonathan asked: "What are you most afraid of?"

"I don't believe in discussing fears, after all isn't that just an opening invitation for someone to use a weakness against you?"

He nodded and looked down, messy black covering his face. The awkward silence returned but gave her the time to build up the courage to ask what was on her mind.

"Hey, um, don't take this the wrong way but why are you here Jonathan?"

There was a deep chuckle and then a pause. Suddenly He slipped off the counter and sprayed something cold in her face. The quick movement made her gasp and involuntarily breath the gas in. It burnt but the pain was nothing compared to the horrors she could see. Screaming filled the air as she collapsed to the floor. The taller man pulled on his mask and stepped towards her. As she slid away from him, screaming to be left alone, he almost laughed. He did like (Y/N) but maybe that was why this needed to be done, after all the less he cared about the less he could lose. As the effects got stronger she began to pass out and he bent to pick her up.

"Why Jonathan?" she whispered before blacking out.

That stopped him dead. Those words made him feel a pang in his heart, like he had just betrayed a loved one. But she wasn't a loved one, just an acquaintance from work. While placing her body into the passenger seat he watched her face. The slight twitches of fear almost hurt him, he wanted to protect her from the fear, he wanted to help her not hurt her. He actually did like her.

"Oh shit what have I done" Jonathan mumbled as he climbed into the car and sped towards his lab.

Reversing the effects took a while but she didn't wake up for even longer. It had been three days and Jonathan was fearing he had over done it when her eye lids began to flutter and then slipped open. He was by her side in a heartbeat though her face showed fear.

"Please, relax and hear me out "

"you tried to kill me-"

"No not kill just...test on"

"Yes that's much better" accompanied with an eye roll.

"You're right it's not, but I am sorry. I realized that I don't actually want to hurt you at all and that I'd really like it if you'd forgive me, and well...go out with me" he looked away and a light dust colored his cheeks.

A moment passed as the girl considered what he had said. She did really like the strange scientist, and if he really wanted to hurt he then he wouldn't have healed her at all. Slowly she leaned in and kissed his cheek.

"Forgiven and I'd love to" he smiled and so did she.

"Wait why do you have fear gas?"
