Have you ever heard of fate?

The first time you two met, it was like it was timed. Everything was perfect, like a spider luring it's prey ever so carefully. Every small detail was all perfect and completed.

The second time you two met, he had successfully lured you into the spider web. You couldn't be more brainwashed to believe him. His honey words accompanied by his companions were all twisted;  beautifully sweet but dangerously sinister.

The third time was just as laughable. Fate had already set it's path for you, you had no choice but to walk it. Yet, the agony never bothered you.

The fourth time and so on, you two were a couple. You had shared feelings and everyone congratulated you guys. It felt like home, warm and fuzzy like.

But fate isn't so nice to all.

The loud sirens of police cars had you wide awake. Policemen were running around, trying to trap you and the sliver haired male. However, you two had successfully avoided them.

Small quiet steps ended on the roof of a house. Hushed and frequent breathes were covered by hands.

"I think they're gone," you hushed.

"Could be," Joker cursed under his breath, "this couldn't be worst timing. We didn't get the treasure and were almost caught. This is bad, very bad."

"What should we do now," you sighed and rubbed your temples. "No one is coming as backup. What is the next step?"

Joker stood in a thinking position. You too were thinking but something in the far distance caught you. It was blurry but it was definitely a person but they were camouflaged. The person wasn't looking at you, but rather your partner.

That's when it hit you but you were too late.

You pushed the male aside, a yelp from him but a scream was soon replaced by it.

Fresh blood oozed out from your chest. It was aimed right at your heart. It had surely hit a vital point even if it missed. A knowing smile graced your lips as you collapsed. You expected to fall but Joker caught you in his arms.

"Why.... you didn't have to do that!" Joker cried. He didn't care if anyone caught him, he was losing a life right in his arms, the most precious treasure he spoke of.

You gave a weak smile and placed a hand on his chest. "I always knew I would take a bullet for you..."

"No, don't speak! I-I'll get a doctor!" He panicked and tried to find his pockets for a cell phone.

You raised yourself and got close to his ear. "I'll die anyway. But let me make clear of this. If the roles had switch," your voice turned hoarse.

"I knew you wouldn't take it for me."

"(Name)? (NAME)!" He screamed. His suit was stained with blood as the liquid pooled below him. Her eyes were blank but a smile remained on her face.

He cried.

She smiled.

Fate laughed.

"Sorry" could not be heard from the distance. From the sniper to Joker, nor from earth to heaven. "Thank you" was invalid now. "I love you" had no meaning now.

Still, he kept repeating those three words. He knew he would be found out soon, but it pained him the truth she had spoke to him.

"I'm sorry (Name), I could never be that brave," he said bitterly. He kissed his love's forehead for the last time before jumping off into the distance, a cold bitterness he had never felt after his parents died.

"I love you."

The lost words scattered in the wind, he wished for her to be revived, to give him another chance to show he loves her.

But even love has limits to the dead

How laughable isn't it?
