Laugh Lines

Ready or Not

~Another trick to treat with candy apple dreams

Gonna rot her teeth cause I'm so sweet

One lick to rule them all

They crumble as they crawl

She loves me cause I like to give head like a zombie

Eat, eat, eat, til her insides are on me,

She loves me cause I give head like a zombie,

Eat, eat, eat and nobody's gonna stop me~

~Motionless in White~

Peach had come home, feeling better than she felt when she left. The thief had been found out and punished appropriately and she had put a fear into the remaining employees that they would not forget any time soon. What started as a shitty day had turned around into a pleasant evening. She parked her car in the garage and made her way into the house.

It was quiet, only a few ambient lights were on. If her husband wasn't in the living room watching the news, then he would be upstairs. She checked her phone, it was late, the interrogation and clean up took longer than she would have liked.

She needed to clean up, she had dried blood on her skin and clothes. She made her way up the stairs and into the bedroom quietly as she could. The sight she saw was too much to keep her girly side at bay. She pulled her phone out and snapped a picture. On her bed was her husband, in slacks and a tank top. Lying on his chest, fast asleep and drooling slightly was their daughter.

The sight was beautiful, but it hurt her feelings sometimes how well her daughter took to her husband. It was true that she was only a few months old, but he could calm her down quicker than she could. Joker could make their daughter laugh so easily. It was plain to see the baby loved him. She knew he loved her, in his strange way. She would watch him when he had her, talking to her like she was another adult. He explained things as he done them, as if she could understand.

She sat her things down and reached to move their daughter into the crib Joker had insisted they needed in here for 'easier access'. She covered her daughter in a light blanket and turned to go into the restroom to clean up.

"Did you find your guy?" Joker asked. His voice echoed through the bathroom.

Peach ushered him into the restroom to keep from waking the baby. Once inside she closed the door and turned to face him.

"Yea, well, girl, but I took care of it."

"I bet you did." he eyed the dried blood on her clothes. "You know, wife. You do look so beautiful, covered in blood."

Peach eyed him. Was he trying to make a move? She frowned. She wasn't sure why the though scared her so much. She had been cleared by the doctor, completely back to normal and free to engage in any vigorous activity she wanted, but she was still scared. It had been way too long since she had any quality time with Joker.

He didn't make a move though. Peach undressed and moved to the shower, his eyes stayed on her but he stayed where he was. Now she just felt stupid, he would never push further than she wanted him to. She leaned out of the shower.

"Are you coming?" she laughed at how quickly he moved and undressed.

He moved into the slightly steam filled shower and slid the door closed. Peach was standing under the water, and Joker was getting her shampoo ready for her. He scrubbed her scalp and helped rinse it clean. She worked the conditioner through her hair as he started to wash her skin free from the blood. The slick feel of his calloused hands on her soapy skin reminded her of how mush she missed this. Over the last few weeks Joker had been flirting relentlessly with her, and she had been too worried to bother with any of it.
