A/N: Slashy B/J Haikus! These are plotless and not in any kind of order, chronological or otherwise. But I did format them so that the ones on the left are from Bruce's point of view, and the ones on the right are from Joker's pov. There are also a few that could be from either or both of their perspectives mixed in as well.
Inspired by dollhouseDISASTER's "I'll Tell You in a Haiku" which you should check out, cause it's awesome :) Also, thanks to KitCat Italica for encouraging me to post these :)
Bruce's POV
Joker's POV
Before I knew you
life was so. Fucking. BORING.
But YOU made me smile…
You stare back at me,
broken-mirror reflection,
promising chaos
Hey, Bats? Remember
that time I tried to kill you?
…I didn't mean it.
Unstoppable force
promises eternity,
…and the object moves.
You told me once that
what we have is destiny…
I guess you were right.
A dark completion—
Collision of psychopaths
Just a freak like me
You said we're destined
to do this forever…well,
I fucking hope so
I won't run from this,
but I will never, ever
admit I love you
this is what happens
when an unstoppable force
goes batshit crazy
Yes, you deserve it
but I'll never let you fall…
'cause you complete me.
A gunshot; one less
mobster to trouble you, Bats.
… I know you're watching.
There's no going back—
what we have is forever.
Irrevocable.
Your lips are poison
that I can't seem to resist.
So I've stopped trying.
Wanna hear a joke?
I really used to think that
I didn't need you.
Unavoidable,
someday this all has to end.
We'll burn as we fall
They've got it all wrong,
this self-important city.
It's all about us.
Go ahead and scream,
I love the way you hate me.
'cause at least you care.
Your words are razors—
cutting, (laughing while I bleed)
but never too deep
I love the pain, but
we really should stop fighting…
'cause fucking's more fun.
Explosions are fun,
so's killing, and chaos, but
all I need is you.
This feels…perfect… but
happy endings aren't for us,
my dark defender.
Chaos and greasepaint—
a beautiful disaster.
You belong to me.
All through the city,
echoing screams—they fear us…
And rightfully so.
Fate's a funny thing—
Bat and Clown forever bound
Despite our hatred.
You KNOW that it's true—
We COMPLETE each other, Bats.
Why won't you SAY it?
You're the only one—
the only other REAL thing
in this fucked-up world.
You say you hate me,
but I know you don't mean it—
you can't lie to me
I know you feel it…
You can't fight this forever—
but I know you'll try.
You're mesmerizing—
such a colorful mindfuck…
Chaos incarnate.
You're the only one
who could ever understand—
but you refuse to
Finally broken—
your only rule shattered… so
why are you smiling?
Only one rule left,
you made me break the others…
I won't let you win
Fistfights and kisses—
I hope this lasts forever…
You're all I have left
Unexpected kiss—
Ha, I'll always remember
the look on your face
Perfect enemy—
dark as me, in your own way.
My only equal
Why so serious?
"Why so sexy?" I mutter.
…oh shit, he heard me.
Three word confession—
I'd say it back, but I don't
know what that word means
A/N: Perhaps I'm being neurotic, but I feel the need to clarify that last one… in it, Bruce has finally told Joker "I love you," and Joker doesn't quite know how to react, since their relationship is nowhere near "normal," and I doubt that Joker understands or has experienced "love" in the traditional sense of the concept. Codependent obsession, certainly—but love? Je ne sais pas.
Oh, and the next-to-last one was adapted from the captions of one of my B/J drawings over on LiveJournal. I'm Kayliana_19 on LJ, check 'em out if you're interested *end plug* :)
There will probably be more haikus from me in the future, 'cause they're fun to write and they're great for stimulating creativity…
I would love to know
what you think of my haikus…
won't you please review?
:)
