Hi guys, I've been writing for Jared Leto's Joker since The Suicide Squad came out (Joker x Reader fanfi...
"The Cuddling Room" is a unique idea Y/N came up with when her relationship with The Joker started to fall apart. The awesome plan worked for a while...until it didn't. Maybe the sanctuary's purpose wasn't to mend the present, but to heal old wounds that will never fade unless given a chance.

The Joker walks the hallway leading to the kitchen, dreading the imminent reality: after another horrible fight last night, Y/N is probably gone. Terrible things were said in the hit of the moment and The King of Gotham abandoned the Penthouse, leaving a heartbroken girlfriend behind.
No texts and no phone calls; you are always the first one to reach out and J sort of got used to it. Since you didn't bother to contact him at all, he assumed you had enough and left.
Nobody lasts in a relationship with The Joker anyway.
Why?
Because he "doesn't do" relationships: The Clown Prince of Crime is truly clueless on how to handle them, especially when he actually likes someone. It's a paradox he can't escape: the more J tries to hold on, the more his urge to mess up exponentially increases.
He passes by the studio and can't help but notice the flashy hand written sign hanging on the door: "The Cuddling Room."
Lots of thumping sounds and the door is cracked opened: The Joker peeks inside only to see Y/N running around in order to finish the project she worked on for hours in his absence.
The small room is entirely remodeled: there are decorative lights dangling from the ceiling, candles and books scattered on the shelves, flowerpots plus a twin-size bed moved from storage courtesy of Frost and Shark.
"What are you doing?!" J crabbily mumbles, not that he would admit how relieved he feels you're still on the premises.
"I'm not talking to you," you pout and fluff the pillows.
"You just did," he brings it to your attention, very intrigued while analyzing the surroundings. "What's this supposed to be?!"
"Sanctuary," the clarification briefs the puzzled Joker. "If we have an argument and things go downhill..." you take a deep, strenuous breath, "...and want to work it out, we can use this place. We can be mad and resentful, yet here we can be together without being together."
"Huh?" J has a difficult time processing the peace offer because nobody else went through so much trouble for him before.
He's just not worth it.
"The mattress is tiny; two people have to cuddle if they want to fit...That's why it's called the cuddling room," you grouchily finish your speech.
You hear him huff and slam the door, meaning he's dismissing your idea.
We'll see how it goes, you sigh and grab a book, deciding to dwell into the newly transformed oasis.
About half an hour later, The Joker sneaks in and you completely ignore him. He took a shower, changed into a pair of sweatpants and decided to pop in for additional criticism that will promptly be addressed towards Y/N and her silly experiment.
