Author's Note: I was watching the Mad Love episode and it just popped into my head. At like, three in the morning. It may not make a whole lot of sense.

Summary: Perhaps the only time he was not smiling was in bed. Harley/Joker.

Disclaimer: Sadly, someone else had the idea before me. (:

He never smiled in bed. Not once.

There was always a look of concentration on his face.

Always.

My Joker was a perfectionist.

He wanted to do things right, to make sure I was satisfied by the end of it.

Yes, he holds me afterwards, and yes, he kisses me sweetly and says nice things.

But never once is there a smile on his face.

It puzzles me.

Just when I think I've got him figured out, I realize there is more to him then I will ever understand.

Like, after he yells at me and hurts me, he is kind and sweet and brings me flowers.

Or after I do everything he asks of me, he ignores me.

I cannot understand him.

Nor can I resist him.

And even after he hits me,

I still need him.

I look at my Joker,

Realizing there will never be a true smile on those perfect lips of his.

Nor will there ever be love in that cold heart for me.

I kiss his cheek gently.

And sigh unhappily when there is no smile.

Pouting, I turn over and I feel him pull my body against his.

He nuzzles against my neck and I feel him smile.

But what?

My Joker never smiles in bed!
