Happy Valentines Day, from me to you! I hate Valentines Day, which explains the, well you'll see once you read it now won't you. Hope everyone has a great day, and I love Harvey and Harley, only for the fact that they seem so cute together, and Joker's abuse gets on my nerves. Hope you like this one shot. And I sadly own nothing but the idea for the plot. Pairings are JokerxHarley, and HarleyxHarvey. Have fun everyone!

Harley felt the sharp stinging in her left cheek long after Joker had hit her. She, Joker and the rest of the Batman villains were at the Iceberg discussing all sorts of things. When Harley had mentioned that Valentines Day was coming up, Joker had gotten angry with her, and hit her when she asked what they were going to do. Now Harley sat next to her Mistah Jay, and next to the wall, head bowed, and tears streaming down her cheeks. She shouldn't have talked. Her Mistah Jay didn't like it when she talked. When she stopped crying, she looked up to see Joker in the middle of a story, one where Harley had screwed up the plan again.

When Joker came to the climax of the story, the part that she ruined the plan, he got angry, and started punching her in the face as he told the story. Harley yelped in pain as he did so, begging for him to stop, and reminding him that she loved him.

"Please Mistah Jay, ya know it was an accident, ya know that I didn't mean to! Please Mistah Jay it's almost Valentines Day, we shouldn't be fighting! Don't you love me?" that was the wrong thing to say, and she knew it. Joker stopped his abuse, and stood over her, breathing heavily, his chest drastically rising and falling with each breath.

"What. Did. You. Say?" he growled. Harley gulped.
"That it was my fault, and that I screw everything up." She whimpered. Joker smiled, and helped her up. He tweaked her nose.

"That's what I thought." Harley smiled, but inside she was starting to fear for her life. He was only acting civil because Joker was with all his friends. Everyone resumed the conversation, as Harley checked herself to make sure that she wasn't to badly hurt. She had the feeling that someone was staring at her. She looked up to see everyone had gone to the bar, and was currently picking on Penguin, everyone except Harvey-TwoFace. She smiled at him, and he only furrowed his brows more.

Harley sighed, she had never really talked to Harvey much before, Mistah Jay had told her that he was a stick in the mud, and to avoid Harvey. But TwoFace, that was an entirelydifferent story according to Joker. And it was one of Harley's favorite stories for her Mistah Jay to tell her; she'd heard it a million times.
"You see Harley it's like this" he'd explain to her. "A long time ago, in a world before smiles, and jokes, there was a man named Harvey Dent." She'd nod her head, and snuggle up closer to him as he told the story. "Now you see Harvey Dent was everything wrong with the world. He was optimistic, he was a planner, he was dare I say, handsome." Harley would smile, and kiss Joker's cheek telling him that no one was more handsome than her Joker was. Joker would chuckle lightly, and then continue his story. "Well you see, the Buttman, and Gordon started changing things, but don't worry, this story has a happy ending." He'd grab her roughly and kiss her on the cheek for reassurance. "Well, things seemed to be going fine and dandy, but then I came to the rescue of the world. Now the details of our little fights aren't important, after all this is Harvey Dent's story. What happened next is just so beautiful." He'd breath out the word 'beautiful' as if he were talking about seeing the Eiffle Tower for the first time. Joker would pause, savoring the old memory, then continue in an almost whisper tone. "You see Harls" he pulled her closer to him, and she'd squeak of happiness. "I kidnapped Harvey Dent and his little girlfriend, and made their friends choice between the two. Well there was a prize at the bottom of the cereal box that day, you see, not only had the girl died, but half of Dent's face was blown off, and he went boozonkers!" He laughed here, and raised his hands out at the last word as if to emphasize how funny it really was. Then after he calmed down from his laughter he'd pull her close again, and finish the story. "Well I convinced Dent that there isno justice in society, and" he started laughing "he went on a killing spree, and we now have the great and evil TwoFace that we love today. But there's catch" he raised a finger and waggled it at her. "Only halfof him is evil, and the other half, the 'pretty' half is still that stick in the mud-pretty boy Dent." He started laughing again. "Oh Harls" he wiped his eyes. "If you ever get the chance to listen to the two of them argue with each other, take it." And that was it; Joker would smack her for saying the wrong thing, or talk about his latest plans.

So now here was Harley alone with the man that her Mistah Jay had basically created. She forced a smile, and Harvey only frowned deeper. Before she could strike up a conversation, he started talking to her.

"So why do you stay with him if he treats you like that?" he asked. Harley sighed, everyone asked her that.

"I love him, and he loves me." She sighed her well rehearsed line, she took a sip of her drink. Harvey shook his head no.

"Are you kidding me? Did you forget what he just did to you? What he's done to you for years?" he growled a bit. Harley stuck her nose up in the air.
"And who are you to judge Ugly-Face? You haven't had a girlfriend in years." She used Joker's nickname for him, and it seemed to have it's effect. He heaved a great sigh, and he suddenly looked really sad. Harley felt guilty for bringing up his old girlfriend. "I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to-" Harvey cut her off before she could finish her apology.

"It's fine." He smiled, and Harley noticed for the first time that the Harvey side of his face was handsome, and he didhave a gorgeous smile. She made a note to talk to Pam about that later. Harvey meanwhile changed the subject. "So, Valentines Day, eh? You like the holiday?" she bobbed her head up and down. Harvey smiled kindly at her. "Never really celebrated it much, Rach-" he choked on her name a bit. "My old girlfriend didn't really care for it, and Pam, well," he chuckled "you know Pam." Harley smiled, and nodded her head.

"I love Valentine's Day! Mistah Jay doesn't much care for it though. Back when I was younger and in school, we used to send flowers to each other. I remember the best year was my senior year." Harley got excited, she rarely got to tell a story without being interrupted, and Harvey was a good listener. "I was so upset because my boyfriend who was in college had dumped me; I almost didn't go to school that day. But my parents forced me. Well when I got there, the flowers were being delivered, and I was all upset because I knew that I wouldn't be getting any. Not that there was anything special about them, they were cheap paper roses, but it's the thought that counts. Well anyways, suddenly a delivery comes in with this HUGE" she stretched her arms out here "bouquet of flowers, REAL roses, and he plops them on my desk!" she sighed. "It was the best day ever, and I eventually found out who delivered them, it was this little sophomore guy who sat behind me in my math class. He said that he felt bad because I was dumped, and wanted to make my day." She sighed here, and noticed that Harvey was smiling at her.

"Well what happened between you two?" he asked. Harley sighed and shrugged her shoulders. She started stirring her drink with her straw, watching the ice cubes move around in her soda.

"Oh, we never went out… I told Mistah Jay the story back when we got together, and ironically, he was found dead a couple of days later…" She sighed heavily. Harvey reached out and put his hand over hers.

"Hey, who knows, maybe you'll have another Valentine's miracle." He smiled.

"Thanks Harv-" she was cut off by a loud yell.

"HARLEY! I'm leaving, with or without you!" Joker was at the door, hat and coat on.

"Coming Mistah Jay. Bye everyone" she yelled as she grabbed her jacket and sprinted after Joker.

It was Valentine's Day, and so far the day SUCKED. Harley had decided this at three o'clock. First Joker didn't like her new dress, which she had picked out for its lace, and see through material. Then he wouldn't let her make breakfast, AND he didn't have a gift for her! Last, he had left her alone at the house, telling her he'd be back late at night. Harley sat and watched a cheesy love movie. She sighed heavily again. Suddenly she heard the door bell ring. Harley dragged herself to the door, and opened it, surprised to see a large bouquet of roses. The person was leaning against the door frame, holding the flowers above his face. Harley squealed, and the mystery person lowered the flowers to reveal that it was Harvey. He passed the roses to her. He still had something behind his back though she noticed. Harley discreetly looked him up and down as she smelled the flowers and thanked him.

He was wearing his usual suit and tie, only the tie had small red hearts on it today. He leaned against the door so she couldn't see the scarred half of his face, and he seemed perfectly at ease, one hand behind his back, and the other pushing the hair out of his face.

"I thought I'd stop by and drop those off seeing how Joker doesn't seem to be getting you anything today." He smiled, and Harley for some reason felt her heart flutter. "Where's the clown?" He asked. Harley sighed.

"He's out doing errands, he's a very busy man you know." She said matter of factly. Harvey sighed and shook his head, muttering to himself.

"Right. Well, I'm sorry about that." He ran a hand through his hair. "Any chance I can coax you out of here; maybe we could go catch a movie- as friends?" he seemed to add the last part in nervousness. Harley shook her head no, feeling sad.

"Mistah Jay ordered me to stay here. Sorry. Thanks for the offer though." She heard him mutter a few more things then he stood straight, standing at an angle so the scarred side was still hidden from view.

"Yeah, well I'm sorry. Oh here, this is for you too." He pulled the bear out from behind his back, and Harley was surprised to see it was the scarred hand that passed it to her. It was a little white teddy, holding a heart that said "I love You Beary Much" Harley chuckled at the pun, and looked up to see that TwoFace was smiling a bit at her too. However it wasn't his usual creepy smile that made Harley's skin crawl, it was actually similar to Harvey's smile. Harley threw her arms around Harvey, and kissed him on the cheek.

"Thanks Harv, thanks TwoFace!" She saw Harvey blush just a bit, and she thought he looked rather cute when he blushed.

"Yeah well. I should get going. Lot of stuff to do ya know. Have a nice day Harley." He started walking off, but then stopped and turned around. He had both hands in his pocket. "If-if something ever happens, and you need to get away." He gulped. "You could always come to me, I'm not that hard to find. I mean, only if you don't feel like going to Pam's. I know that you two are friends, and I'd never get in the way of that…" Harley smiled.

"I'll keep that in mind. Thanks again Harv." She said smiling. She stood at the door for a few minutes, even after Harvey was long gone. She breathed in the sent of the flowers, and kissed the teddy bear's head before finally going inside.

As the night grew on, Harley got nervous about what Joker would do to her if he saw the flowers. Filled with panic, she grabbed a liter, and without thinking twice, set the roses and teddy bear on fire, and threw away the ashes; right as Joker walked through the door.

He was holding a teddy bear bigger than he was, and taped to the bear's enormous paw was a bouquet of flowers, not nearly as many or as grand as the ones that were previously destroyed, but she didn't care. Harley squealed, and ran to Joker, as he threw the bear down.

"Happy Valentines Day Harls." He said.
