John Doe POV

Bruce once again visited me, which made me Happy of course.

As soon as he stepped in, I gave him, like every single time he comes for a visit, a tight hug. Bruce surprisingly hugged me back this time, which left me a bit surprised as we pulled back. But I soon grinned again. "Bruce! Came to see me again? Of course you came to see me again. Although we had a small incident in the Morning. I hope it didn't cause any trouble for you. Don't want my Buddy to feel stressed because of me.", I said, my smile turning slowly in a frown as I talked. "No no. It was fine. It has been a while since I slept. And i think it was time for me to get some rest.", he answered, calm as usual as i know him. I smiled. "Great! I'm happy this didn't make much consequences.", I said, turning around and sit on my Bed.

"How was your Day?", he asked, like every beginning of the conversation. "It was great! Dr.Leland thought I should see a new face more often, so Dr.Quarren will take care of me for a few Days! I'm so Happy! She's really nice. And good looking!", I said, smiling brightly. Bruce nodded at this. "Uh-Huh.", is all that he said. I expected him to say something more, but there was nothing more left to say, I guess. "What do you think about her? Dr.Quarren, I mean.", he asked. "Well, her jokes are really funny and she knows when to use them. Sometimes she tells me story's and they are really interesting to listen to. And oh my! Her giggling makes my body shiver with delight! So funny and sweet!", I said, keeping a close eye on his reactions. I can see that he holds back his frown. His smirk was really... forced.

"She seems really nice. Is she treating you well?", he asked. "Of course she is! Why wouldn't she? Are you caring about me that much, Brucie?", I said teasingly. Then stopped as I noticed that I used a more 'cute' nickname. Oh god. I hope he doesn't mind! "Well, I'm just making sure. Since I do care about you. Not all People are Nice.", he told me with a frown. I grinned. "Awww, Bruce! Don't tell me you're just jealous because of her. That is so adorable.", I said. The corners of Bruce's lips lowered. And a faint blush spread across his cheeks. "No, I'm not jealous, John.", he answered. "That's what all people mostly answer it like that. But mostly, it's not true.", I said grinning, standing up and leaning in close to his face. "John, I am NOT jealous. Why would you think that?". "You seem like you want me to shut up, when I talk about her. Are you jealous because---", "I'M NOT JEALOUS!", he yelled, gripping my Arkham Asylum shirt.

I flinched. His mad face turned into a sad frown. "Oh gosh. I'm sorry, John. I didn't mean to snap like that.", he said, letting go of me and stepped a step away from me. "Hey, It's okay. I need to know when I should stop.", I answered. He stayed silent for a few seconds. Then turned around, walking out of my cell. "B-Bruce? What's wrong? Why are you leaving so soon?", I asked, walking after him. "I almost forgot I had an important meeting. I need to leave immediately. Sorry John. I'll see you tomorrow.", was all he said, before he left.
