CLOWNIN' around!

jack held out the photo to him, and perhaps one of the first thing that was apparent about her was that the joker looked a lot like her; they had almost the same facial structure, they had the same nose and same lips. it was almost like they were related ( and they were, though jack wasn't going to tell him that right away ). jack let out a shrill laugh at what he said then and pocketed the photo, " but anyhow, now that i'm not goin', i don't have to worry about that anymore! and you're right. ahh, but the one between us is such a sweet tragedy, isn't it? " the joker hummed and reached up to peck the other's jaw, a satisfied smile spreading across his lips while he looked up at him, " i suppose so. do tell me whether this is too much for ya, but i just wanna cuddle with you so badly — what'd ya say we do it back at my place? " 
          
          // ; yeah, this is true!! i can't argue with that... like, you can just tell that this man meant every single thing that he said, and it was just * puppy dog eye emojis * you know? but yesss, of course!! and aww... i'm sorry, babe. i hope the fluff that i included here at the end makes up for that jsjsj but you're welcome!! everything you write is amazing, tbh

          if it wasn't clear to the joker before that bruce was going through some serious inner turmoil, it was now. just the way that he was composing himself right now had 'distress' written all over it. jack longed to somehow reach into his heart and take it all for him; so that way, bruce could actually relax, and the joker wouldn't have to experience the complex emotion that is / worry / . all of this stress couldn't be good for the dark knight. he started to wonder how he'd been sleeping lately, how frequently he'd eat, and whether if he were to put his hand right over his heart... if he would be greeted with a steady beat or an accelerated one. before long, the joker couldn't help himself from carefully pressing his hand slightly to the left of bruce's chest, where his heart should've been. he remembered something about how your heartbeat would spike when you lie; so, he kept it there until after bruce told him he didn't need to be doing this. the joker could feel a shiver run up his spine but one of the ' good ' kind when the bat's thumb ran over his hand. with a quick clearing of his throat, he looked down at his train ticket. " anyways, besides the more obvious reasons as to why i'd be glad to see ya here, i'm also glad 'cause i was nervous to go! god's... that's SUPER weird to hear, ain't it? i would blame it on all the funky love hormones surging through me right now, but i don't know. seein' a picture of someone and actually goin' to see them are kinda two different thing's — aren't they? but putting that aside, this is who i'm talkin' about! and let me tell ya... looking for her was like tryin' to find a needle in a haystack, " he rambled, desperately trying to move on from talking about his feeling's anymore. but he couldn't really escape them; the joker struggling to find the polaroid photo in his jacket for a moment before he finally found it. 

i just — was angry, and i didn't care about how hard 'tis been for ya to act on your feelings, what with all the guilt ya must have surrounding it. but that's not okay. especially since i understood deep down why ya were havin' such difficulty with expressing any love ya have for me. 'tis because of my actions. you don't have to get into a full-blown relationship with me, bruce, right away or at all if ya don't want to. i just love you so much, and i wanted to give ya some space to figure out what you want. i wasn't planning on leaving for forever, you know, " he stifled a laugh that sounded weird to his ears. it was nervous and a bit awkward. he squeezed the other's hand back, keeping his gaze on bruce's eyes. " only a week. but hey, if you don't want me to go, then how could i? this is very romantic when ya look past the tragic aspect of it all, " a weak smile formed on his lips before he was wrapping one arm around bruce, bringing himself closet to him and digging his head into his neck. a hiccup threatened to leave his throat, " why do you love me, bruce? i'll go back with ya, but some part of me doesn't get it. i need to know. " 
          
          // ; AHH he really is, isn't he? i'm not gonna lie... i might've gotten slightly misty-eyed while reading you reply. it's just so sad ;; but oh, okay — i thought you were being serious LOL but alrighttt! and of course it is, my love. i absolutely LOVE your starter!! 

@waynetatics 
          the joker couldn't remember the last time he was this unsure of what he was doing. i mean, one of the things he was known was his unwavering confidence... right? but here he was, typing away at his phone with the dollmaker and expressing how maybe getting on this train wasn't such a good idea — that maybe he shouldn't go surprise his one and only remaining family member ( at least, to his knowledge. ) his mind constantly wavered to bruce, after all, and the feeling he'd had in his stomach whenever he said all of those things to him; a feeling that told him he was going to regret saying this because he was doing it purely out of anger and because he was taking it all out on bruce. letting out a soft sigh and fixing the leopard print jacket he wore, he wondered whether bruce could ever possibly forgive him for the nasty things he'd told him. and then he saw him. he was / right / there, in front of him, reaching out to hold his hand. then telling him not to go. the joker can't help but gape at him for a moment, his heart immediately picking up speed: this kind of thing took bravery. " you... you actually came, " that is all that the joker is able to manage at first, his voice full of both surprise and warmth. jack felt a frown tug at his lips whenever he first heard those words out of bruce's mouth. not because he was dissatisfied with them, but because he was even more saddened by his own words and actions from earlier in response to this, his lower lip trembling a bit. " you know, i've been thinking about how i left things with you for a while now, and i'm sorry for everything i said. everything regarding barbara not being smart enough to not involve herself with you... and apologizin' not helpin' at all in regards to what i did to the kid, so i ain't gonna even try to do it. and about how ya should take responsibility for kissing me, despite me knowing that it isn't that simple. 

@waynetatics 
          // ; oh, okayyy. i was about to say, like... bruce better be ready to put 'em up because if that's true, then the joker is about to fight LMAOOO okkk,, well, that's slightly better. an improvement, as they might say (': yeah... what the joker is doing doesn't reflect how i think about the subject, of course, so i can / completely / understand where he's coming from. the joker has a body count that's probably in the thousands by now after all and that would probably leave a lot of people running for the hills so lolll but we love that bruce is willing to try it with the joker!! and alrightyyy, let's get this party started then! i'll go ahead and do that in a few (: 

@waynetatics 
          // ; he really can't, and i feel bad for laughing at it a bit, but something about the fact that he's so indecisive about it struck me as funny JSJSJ oh... damn, i didn't know he was thinking that. now being mad over that is completely valid * skull emoji * but yeah, he just wanted to have one more kiss before he decided ' yeah, this'll do for now. i'll just wait for the next millennia which is probably when we'll kiss again ' lmaoo but we could start a new one, yeah!! i could drop it this time as well if you want? and ohh, yeah... i figured that he probably would because the joker was pretty firm about it so it's all good ahahh

@waynetatics 
          // ; HONESTLY... I CAN'T REALLY ARGUE WITH THAT LMAOO and the joker really said, ' umm, yeah, that's not gonna work with me. BYEEEE ' to that * skull emojis * though, i understand where he's coming from, of course. i meannn the joker is a very bad person and also killed his son + hurt a good part of his family / friends so... y'know

the joker murmured this right before their lips were connecting in a low, tender tone. an abalaster-colored hand lingered on the side of the bat's jaw while he kissed him, tangling his other hand in bruce's hair whenever he opted to kiss him back: just more fervently than he did. a pleased groan left the joker's mouth as he felt his fingers digging into his face, and his body being jerked closer to bruce, kissing him back with just as much passion. a shaky breath left him at the sensation of his fingers digging into his back and he arched it slightly to lean into his touch. the joker eyes flickered between bruce's lips and the other's own ( eyes ). he furrowed his eyebrows, then, and scoffed; pushing him away from himself. the joker was getting frustrated by this, so he walked off to the door and pointed at it, " batsy, batsy, BATSY. if you don't know what ya want, then go and figure it out! 'cause only you are capable of that at the end of the day... so, stop wasting my fuckin' time with this ' oh, i like you, but i also can't be with you ' shtick! "

          the joker batted his eyelashes at the other as he would often do when he was trying to play innocent; except, perhaps this time, it wasn't just being feigned. he'd hold onto the words that bruce told him for forever. they were arguably as valuable as gold to him, for they indicated something that he longed to hear from him ever since the first day he fought him: that the bat wants him. he wants the joker on some deep, carnal level. and although the batman himself had qualms with saying that, it was like music to the joker's ears. if only bruce could take the olive branch he'd extended to him and just be done with this whole ' conflicted ' nonsense. though jack normally would've enjoyed seeing the bat struggle, this was different. jack hummed a soft tune under his breath while he finished tracing the symbol on his chest, " ooh, FEISTY — i like that! don't respond to a rhetorical statement like that again, though, darlin'. it makes ya look dumber than you actually are, " the joker shot him a condescending grin, throwing his head back with a shrill laugh before he inhaled shallowly. his demeanor changed almost instantly then; his eyes falling to the floor while he listened to the other, " hey... ya don't achieve anythin' by dwelling on the past, baby. i'd know — i used to try to make sense of these fragmented memories in my noggin'! but all i was doin' in reality was torturing myself, bats, " the joker gazed up at the dark knight and spread an arm out in a shrug-like gesture, his teeth gnawing down on his bottom lip. he really wasn't all that good at comforting people; but he still attempted to get bruce's mind off of it a bit. jack let a lopsided smile form on his lips, with the beginnings of his teeth showing. " i really do wish i could shrink ya and put you in my pocket sometimes. somehow, you're even more handsome when you smile. " 

// ; aww,, you're so welcome, my love! and honestly... that's so valid because i love it as well LMAOO but yesss, gosh, we really have been twinning so much lately. i love that for us haha and i love these two very VERY much myself!! but ooh, well, you were right to say you see him NGL. he really went for the kill in the end here lolll ( the metaphorical kill * skull emojis * ) but alright
