Arthur Fleck/ Joker X Reader (Completed)

chapter 24

We jumped into the van sitting Joker down on the ground. We wrapped a bandage around his mouth until we got home.

Once we got there we helped Joker into the house and sat him on the sofa.
"I'll stitch him up and he'll be good as new" One of the men spoke as he walked away to get a kit.
Joker removed the bandage and tried smiling at me.
"No don't. You'll make it worse" I put my hand up to stop him.
"You were bloody great out there. Thank you" He winked as I saw his eyes flutter. His head tilted back as he lost consciousness.

"No, no stay with me" I shook his shoulder for him to wake up but he didn't. "It's fine y/n he's very weak. I'll nurse him back to health just get a glass of water for when he wakes up" The man had come back, this time carrying a first aid box. I nodded as I walked into the kitchen.
----------------------------------------

It had been hours since we got home but Joker had finally regained consciousness. His face was stitched up but was extremely red from it all. The man had left me alone with him.
"Hey sleepy head" I smiled at him as I took his hand.
"How are you feeling" I asked him.

"Like someone cut a massive smile into my face and stitched it shut" He smiled back as he walked towards the mirror. He stumbled back in horror as his hand traced over the cuts. "This is horrifying. You can't see me like this" Joker began panicking as he stumbled up and down the room. I sat him down trying to calm him down.
"No, no no no no you will never look at me the same" He kept repeating the word no.

"Listen please. I don't care what you look like. I love you no matter what. Please, don't hide from me" I tried to take his hands away from his face but he shrugged me off.

"No! You're gorgeous and I'm hideous. You can't see me" It was no use Joker had this stupid idea that I couldn't see him because I would hate him. I closed my eyes as an idea came to mind. I stood up and walked over to the kitchen pulling a knife from the draw.

I walked back over and spoke. "Arthur, look at me I love you no matter what. And to prove I don't care about the cuts I'll join you" Joker lifted his head up to look at me. "Woah, what are you doing!" He turned scared as I took a deep breath and stuck the blade in my mouth.

It was cold as it pressed against the side of my lip. "Stop! No y/n" I ignored him as I sliced up my cheek. Warm blood came pouring out like a fountain covering my face. It stung like crazy as I repeated the process on the other cheek. I could see Joker goggling at me in disbelief. My head began feeling light as I dropped the bloody knife.

All I could hear was Joker's voice faintly yelling my name and saying 'why' as I closed my eyes. I felt like I was falling out of reality until everything went quiet.
----------------------------------------

I opened my eyes and saw Joker staring at me. I ran my hand over my face and felt stitches all across my cheeks.
"See I told you. I don't care. I love you" I smiled weakly as Joker just stared angrily at me.
"What the hell y/n why did you do that" He squinted his eyes at me as he spoke. He sounded disappointed. It hurt me to hear him like that.

"You wouldn't let me near you. I had no other way of proving it to you" I furrowed my eyebrows as he shook his head.
"What is wrong with you" I felt like I had just been punched in the stomach. Those words tore me apart.
"Fine. If you can't stand the sight of me I'll leave" I stood up expecting him to hold me back but he didn't.

"Go on then, leave." He didn't look at me at all as I scoffed at him. "Wow" I removed my necklace and chucked it at him before leaving the house.

*two month later*

I had been staying with a woman I met on the street. She was a lovely lady and thankfully didn't know who I was. She welcomed me into her home and I told her all about Arthur except that he was the infamous Joker. She would always tell me to go and speak to him but every time I shut it down.

"I'm not going anywhere near him ever again" I spoke as she poured me a tea.
"Oh darling, I know it's tough but by the sounds of it you were really in love". She sat down next to me.
"Yeah we were in love, until he told me to leave" I sipped my tea as I looked down at the table.

"He was scared you were going to get hurt" She held my hand as she said this.
I didn't respond instead I changed the subject to something else. If he still cared he would've came looking for me I thought to myself.

I spent the next few days watching TV and talking to the woman. One night I heard a knock on the door.
"Hello, my name's Arthur. Do you know a woman called y/n?" I jolted at the sound of his voice. No he couldn't be here. I heard the lady invite him in as I hung my head in frustration. "I don't want to speak to you!" I shouted down to him as I heard the door close.

There were murmures coming from downstairs as I listened from the hallway.

"She's really angry with you, you know" The lady spoke softly to Arthur.
"I know. I feel horrible for what I said. I was scared, I didn't want her putting her life at risk because of me" Arthur sounded genuinely upset.
"You need to give her a bloody good apology" I giggled at the lady as Arthur agreed.

I slowly walked downstairs as Arthur stood up, waiting for me at the bottom. His eyes lit up when he saw me.
"Can I please take you somewhere" He asked, holding out his hand.
I sighed before taking it and turning to the lady.
"Thank you for everything" I said. She nodded and smiled.

We left the house as Arthur took me up a hill near the house. We walked for ages until we got to the top. My jaw dropped as I saw the entirety of Gotham in front of me.
"I would come here for the view whenever I needed time to think" Arthur began speaking.

"I wanted to sincerely apologize for everything" I stopped him from speaking as I kissed him hard.

"Arthur there's something I need to tell you" I pulled away and looked him dead in the eye.
"Anything" Arthur gave me his full attention as he held my hands.

"Arthur. I'm pregnant".
