A/N thank you so much to my friend lost souls keeper for all the Rping we did for this story. I couldn't have written this story without her help, go check out her batman stories. They are all really good and bring a new light to the characters.

Joker followed Bruce into the bedroom, walking into the room looking around. Bruce shut the door and took off his mask, Bruce moved toward the fireplace grabbing a bottle of scotch pouring a glass "want a drink "he asked gently. Trying to make it easier for the other man, joker looked up " yeah I could really use one right now" joker walked over feeling the fire on his back made him relax a little more. He took the drink and walked over to one of the couches sitting down, he watched Bruce sit down on the opposite couch.

" I am not sure how to go about this " Bruce admitted, joker looked nervous " join the club buddy this is all new territory for me " joker chuckled little, Looking over at Bruce who smiled a little "I suppose the best thing is to play it by ear "he said draining his glass.

Joker drained his glass in one swallow" I guess that's best "joker said trying to move closer to Bruce slowly. Bruce smiled a little patting the spot next to him, showing joker that it was ok. Joker walked over to Bruce, sitting on the couch looking away "this is very awkward "looking down "it usually isn't this gentle "

Bruce made joker look him in the eyes " its ok " he said gently trying to reassure the young man. " joker we agreed to do this my way, just relax and enjoy yourself " Bruce said starting to unbutton the other mans shirt. Joker leaned back lying on the couch " ok I'll do it your way " joker moved a little so Bruce could slip the shirt off his shoulders, he closed his eyes feeling Bruce's hands roaming his chest. " joker would you let me take off your face paint "? He asked gently, joker tensed up for a minute unsure, taking a deep breath " ok " Bruce stood up leaving the room for a second and returning with a damp rag. He saw joker shaking a little, "joker are you sure about this? I won't take it off if you are nervous" Bruce said walking back to the couch.

Joker took a deep breath trying to calm down "its ok "Bruce sat back on the couch starting to gently remove the face paint, seeing the man underneath. He could tell joker was still nervous, joker slowly opened his eyes seeing Bruce stand up "come on, we'll be more comfortable on the bed" joker walked over sitting down on the edge waiting.

Bruce moved closer to joker kissing him gently, feeling joker tense up. Joker slowly returned the kiss; Bruce sat down next to him slowly kissing a trial down joker's neck. Bruce felt joker's head lean back, he felt joker's hand trying to pull his head back up. Bruce gently stopped his hands and continued to kiss downward, Bruce slowly moved off the bed still kissing down. He started to undo joker's pants, joker's hand shot out to stop Bruce's " wait " Bruce felt the tight grip the other man had on his hands and stopped what he was doing. Looking up at joker "what is it "joker looked down at Bruce sitting up a little "can we just take it a little slower" Bruce moved back so he was sitting on the bed.

Joker slowly leaned over to Bruce starting to undo the buttons on his shirt, pushing him back a little roughly, climbing on top of him. Kissing him hard, Bruce moved his hands up pushing him back gently " I thought you wanted to take it slow " Bruce asked, joker looked down at him " yes I do, but you did all that with anything in return. I thought would want to be touched the same way "joker said confused.

Bruce "joker this isn't about repaying me. It's about making each other feel good "he said seeing more confusion on the mans face. Joker moved so he was lying down "ok, sorry "he said softly Bruce turned towards him softly stroking his face "don't apologize, do what makes you feel good. Know that I am doing this because I want to" he looked into joker's eyes he still looked sad and so confused.

Joker relaxed under Bruce's touch, just trying to feel and not fighting for control. It felt nice to feel safe with someone. "That's it just relax " Bruce soothed his hands moving slowly over joker's body, slowly undressing the clown and caressing his skin.

All the feelings were new and it felt like a lightning strike where Bruce's hands touched on joker's skin. Joker felt the bed shift slightly when Bruce moved off it. He tensed for a second wondering if Bruce was leaving, but then his heard clothes falling to the ground and knew he was just getting undressed. He lied there waiting for Bruce to return.

` Joker felt the bed shift and Bruce's arms coming up his body pulling him closer. Joker tried to turn around so he was could look at Bruce, but Bruce was holding him tight not letting him move. Joker tensed up tying again, he felt Bruce nuzzling his neck softly and his breath tickled joker's ear "relax just let me hold you" joker leaned into Bruce, trying to relax and breath like the other man was. He closed his eyes "this feels nice "he said softly to no one in particular.

"It's supposed too "Bruce smiled softly, he felt joker relaxing more in his arms. Joker slowly closed his eyes giving in to sleep. He drifted to sleep happy and feeling safe for the first time in so long. Bruce felt joker relax completely knowing he had fallen asleep, he laid his head down on he pillow falling asleep quickly with his arm around joker, holding him close.
