Hi guys, I've been writing for Jared Leto's Joker since The Suicide Squad came out (Joker x Reader fanfi...
After not feeling well for months, The Joker finally found out why: the life threatening condition is so serious there's only a 50/50 chance of survival. Dealing with a brain tumor is not going to be easy, that's why The King of Gotham asked his half-brother Arthur to help Y/N while he'll undergo treatment.

The Joker yawns, repositioning his head in your lap.
"You want a small pillow?" you pause the movie you're both watching and he refuses.
"No," J stretches on the couch. "These are soft enough," he pokes your thighs and you squirm, ticklish to his touch.
Suddenly, the cell phone chimes and J reaches his hand to grab it from the table.
"Arthur is here," he announces. "He wasn't in a hurry, hm?" The Joker mumbles while getting up.
You decline to comment and do the same because you can hear the elevator going up to the Penthouse. You could say the anticipation is making you a little bit nervous: you've been with J for about 10 months but you've never met Arthur. Probably it's safe to assume they are not very close yet soon after finding out about the illness, The Joker contacted his sibling to let him know and sure enough he agreed to come over and help.
Although Mr. Fleck is three hours late, it doesn't mean he is trying to back out on his promise.
The elevator opens and Arthur emerges dressed in one of his red suits, anxiously passing his fingers through his curls. J wants to criticize and his brother is in no mood for a lecture:
"Before you lash out, I was delayed by an unexpected issue!" he keeps talking and walking in your direction. "My apologies."
"What issue?" J growls and Arthur extends the palm of his hand, firmly shaking yours, definitely not waiting for an introduction: "Hello there," he smiles. "I'm the older, smarter, funnier and more charming version; you must be the better half."
"Riiiiiight..." The Joker rolls his eyes, annoyed.
"Y/N," you smirk at the man's remark and he lets go of your hand, explaining his delayed arrival:
"Don't get worked up, kid. One of my projects required immediate attention and I had to sort it out."
You expect The Joker to protest the nickname but he doesn't mention anything: Arthur always called him that since they were teenagers and your boyfriend is used to it. Doesn't bother him at all.
"Do you want a drink? Are you hungry?" you offer and he nods a no.
"I'm good; thanks," he takes a sit on the nearest armchair and the couple reprises their position on the sofa.
A few moments of silence before Arthur decides to talk about the reason why he's at the Penthouse.
"Sooo... What did the doctors find out? How bad is it?" he inquires and you unconsciously cling to J's arm, not willing to hear about it again.
