This is my first piece for Arthur/Joker in general and I'm a bit nervous but I hope you all like it!!
~~~~~~~
ARTHUR FLECK
I think his crush would develop rather quickly
He'd bump into you while checking the mail for his mother and he wouldn't be able to get your kind smile out of his head
Arthur would go out of his way to start running into more whether it be near the mailboxes of in the hallway and you caught on quickly--it was hard to tell if he knew he was being painfully obvious in following you around or if he thought he was being discrete
After a while, Arthur spent his spare time following you where ever you went
The store, work, the library; you always caught a glimpse of him
At first, you were very cautious about him but you were the one to start a conversation after a few weeks of seeing him everywhere
You purposely left out the fact that you knew he was stalking you though
Arthur could tell that you knew from the look in your eyes and he was just happy he didn't scare you away
Arthur's jokes are...unique
Most of them are in the "I shouldn't laugh, that joker is super inappropriate" but you find yourself laughing anyway and laughing hard
i.e that one joke in his journal "why did the old man like having insomnia? Because he didn't have to sleep with his wife."
Arthur loves the sound of your laugh, and his crush on you is much bigger now
Especially when you start telling him some of your own jokes you come up with
There's nothing better he can think of than laughing the night away with you
He loves how understanding you are
You don't look at him weirdly when he has his laughing fits
He loves that you're willing to help him
Arthur would go out of his way to get you gifts and take you out
He wants to spend all of his time with you and if he could, he would
You're the happiness in his life right now and as things progress, he can't see a future without you in it
JOKER
Now don't get me wrong, this is still Arthur, but due to a series of unfortunate events he is much different
And he has a long way to go mentally
When he first sees you, he watches you closely
At first, there's a sort of battle on whether he should even pursue this or not
The process doesn't change much, he would still end up watching you for a while, interested to see what you do every day and how you act
Only Joker would purposely let you see him
And you would only see him when he wants you to
This will unnerve you a bit and Joker will enjoy seeing you scared
He does show himself eventually and he nearly scares the hell out of you
Only because you don't expect to see a guy in full clown makeup; specifically a guy who killed 6 people, one of them being on live television
I think that condones a bit of panic, you know? Like an "oh SHIT" moment if you will
Only when you realize his goal is not to kill you is when you calm down a bit
Joker radiates a lot more confidence and that confidence keeps you around
He seems so sure of himself and his actions, you find yourself intrigued
The jokes don't change, if anything they get worse on the "I REALLY shouldn't laugh this joke is super inappropriate" scale
For some reason, his darkest jokes seem to be the funniest
Joker can't pinpoint one thing about you that drew him in
There's so much about you that he can't get enough of
After a while, you aren't scared of him and he really likes that
Plus the fact that you seem to be ready to follow him to the ends of the Earth
It gives him a sense of power that he's never had before
He doesn't plan on giving that or you up anytime soon
He treasures your smile, your laugh, everything about you
The fact that you're genuinely interested in the way he thinks is something he can't fully wrap his head around
But boy does he love you for it
He enjoys your company and you enjoy his too
You both are like a perfect match~
