The Struggle of Loving Madness

Untitled Part 17

There was a moment of silence between Harley and Joker before Harley asked "how do you know?"

"Well..." ,said Joker, "She's a lesbian."

"Lets set her up with Ivy." laughed Harley.

"See, only problem I'd have would be if she stole you away..."

Joker realized what he said and why Harley had been struggling so much.

Harley looks up at the Joker.

"Im sorry..." said Harley

"Don't be, it's okay. I understand now." replied Joker

"What do you understand?"

"How I hurt you. I took Cheetah in when you were against it because of everything that she did to you. I never listened to you."

"What made you come to this realization?"

"Well, Ivy basically ripped my head off."

Harley shakes her head.

"Oh ivy... what did she say?"

"She basically said that I am a piece of shit and you deserve better."

Harley leans over and kisses the Joker.

"None of this would have happened if I didn't want you and only you..."

Joker Kisses Harley back. 

"You deserve the best."

"I think thats you..." said Harley.

When Joker leaned in to kiss Harley again, the little box that was under her pillow falls to the floor with a little clank. She quickly bends down and puts it in a box next to the bed.

"Harley, thats just it. I'm not the best. I'm evil."

"I don't think you're evil. You are the only one that I want..."

"Are you sure?"

Harley nods, "I wouldn't have gotten so upset if i wasn't so afraid that I was gonna loose you... You are the only one for me puddin..."

She stares into his eyes and he goes into the drawer and pulls out the ring that Harley had just gotten for him. He gets off the bed and down on one knee with the ring in his hand.

"Harley Quinn will you marry me?"

Harley giggles, "you can't propose to me with a ring I got for you! I had it custom made by the guy who does your cane."

Joker puts his  finger over Harley's lips. 

"Shhh don't spoil the moment."

Joker laughs and Harley pulls him in for a kiss. 

"Yes... I will marry you."

She wipes a tear of happiness away from her face.

"Was it something that Ivy said?"

"Nope, I just needed to be sure."

"About what?"

"That was a test to see if you were really in love with me."

Harley punches Joker in the arm as hard as she can.

"Don't you EVER do that again. You hear?! DON'T YOU EVER DOUBT HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU!" 

Joker laughs, "yes sugarbear, I promise I won't"

Harley kisses him again and gives him the ring.

"You are my king... my puddin... my world."

Joker looks at Harley and smiles. 

You make me feel something that nobody else ever has. You understand me in a way that nobody else does. I know that I can't always show that because then people will know that you are my weakness and I don't want to loose you. I don't want them to use you against me. You are the only one for me. My Harley Quinn. The Queen of Gotham. My Queen. Baby I love you so much. Don't you ever think that I don't."
