Joker ~ Imagines

Imagine #1 Moving in part 1

Imagine being Arthur's roommate after his mom dies.

The news had came in as a big shock to me.

Arthur Flecks mother had died.

She was the sweetest woman that I knew.

And she was now gone.

I had been friends with Arthur for a long time, I lived in the same apartment complex as him, on the same floor.

He was a really sweet guy.

Others would say that he was strange and unusual.

But hey look at where we lived.

It was Gotham city.

It had been a few days since the news had came out and I figured I would visit Arthur.

I left my apartment that afternoon to go to his apartment down the hall.

Once I was at his door I hesitated before I knocked on the door.

Should I leave him alone?

No don't do that, he shouldn't be alone.

Just knock.

And with that I knocked on the door and waited for an answer.

"Coming" I heard Arthur's muffled voice from inside.

I heard his footsteps inch towards the door.

The door unlocked and he opened it.

Arthur looked at me, surprised to see me there.

"Y/n!!!, what are you doing here?" He questioned as he moved out of the door way.

Gesturing for me to come inside.

I stepped over the threshold and walked in.

"I wanted to see you, I heard about your mother. I'm so sorry Arthur" I apologize.

Arthur smiles lightly before he speaks, "don't apologize y/n" he replies.

Arthur moves away from the door and goes to sit on his couch in the living room and I follow.

"How are you holding up?" I ask hesitantly.

Arthur looks up at me before he speaks.

A light smile forms on his face "I feel great, she was holding me back" Arthur announces.

I look at him, confusion in my eyes.

He can't possibly mean that.

This was his mother we were talking about.

I knew how he was with her.

I know that Arthur would never say something like that.

"Arthur, you don't sound okay, this was your mother, we're talking about" I respond.

He shouldn't be alone.

He's not all there right now.

He's still grieving.

"Arthur, can I ask you a something?" I ask cautiously.

"What is it?" He replies.

"...I was...um...wondering if I could... move in...with you" I stutter.

I didn't want him to be alone in this and even though I was down the hall, I thought it would be better to actually be here with him to help get him through this.
