A sweet familiar scent wafted around the red knight who found himself strolling down infinite dark halls, lined with cold steel bars. This of course drew out his superior from the shadows like a cop to a doughnut shop.
"Hey, hand over one of those muffins."
It wasn't a request. Joker stood in the wayward traveler's path, both thumbs hooked in his belt loop, waiting expectantly.
Ace paused, raising his empty hands in mock apology. "Ah, sorry, I'm all out. Too bad, huh?"
The warden regarded him with a narrowed eye. His senses never lied.
"Bullsh*t. I can smell them like they're fresh out of the oven!" Another whiff. "They're strawberry flavored!"
Joker wasn't wrong, but Ace was determined to run him through before he'd consider giving up one of Alice's muffins to the bossy sweet-toothed guard. She'd made them especially for him after all, and with much prodding. What rotten luck to have wandered here of all places.
With a sigh, Ace's carefree expression turned into a frown. "Joker...having a guy smelling me is a little-"
"Keh, don't waste my time. Wordplay isn't your arena."
Joker sneered. His other half was far more skilled in changing the topic, and when he noticed, he didn't tolerate it from him either.
"Are you telling me to deflect with my sword instead?" The knight queried, feeling the edge of his lips pull into a teasing grin.
"H*ll no! I'm telling you to give me a d*mn muffin!"
"Ah screw it." vaguely processed before something snapped. Probably Joker's whip, as that is where his hand had wandered. However his opponent had been prepared, sword in hand, like any button pushing master worth his salt. Not that the warden cared. He wore his own sh*t-eating grin, because even if he failed to beat the ace he could smile in the knowledge that the miserly knight wouldn't get any delectable strawberry muffins either. He'd make sure of it.
A/N: Since only Alice differentiates between the Jokers using "Black" and "White" I refrained from using those nicknames. However there is only one Joker here and I'm sure his attitude is a dead giveaway.
Ace is being treated as the Knight of Hearts here and not the Executioner because that is the current role he's fulfilling.
I decided to keep my first published fic short and simple, so I'd appreciate any constructive critique.
