For everyone who requested the chemical bath or electro shock scene please head over to my other fanfic, The Jokes on Them: Arkham Asylum. I'll get there!
This one is a two-for-one special for May & mariposa599.
Insecure Harley & Worried Joker
Harley stood in front of the bathroom mirror, studying her white form. It was the first time she'd really looked at it since ACE chemicals.
Like most young women, she had perfected the art of projecting her minds worries onto her views of herself.
If she'd been honest, she knew she had nothing to worry about, but she couldn't help it…
What if she didn't do everything right? What if she couldn't get as excited as Joker about the same things? What if he grew tired with her..?
After all, nothing good lasts forever, right?
She glanced at her clothes on the bathroom sink before wrapping herself in her fluffy, pink robe.
Harley had been acting strange all week. Joker heard the soft fall of her feet, they didn't sound right… They sounded sad, almost depressed.
He watched her enter the living room and sit down on the couch, pulling her knees up to her chest.
He frowned. What could possibly be wrong with her?
He spotted her silly, stuffed hyena and threw it at her, hoping she would swat it away with a smile. She merely caught it, somberly and set it down beside her. She didn't even look back at him.
After a pause, he walked over to her, kneeling down in front of her. She still wouldn't look at him. He lifted her chin, forcing her eyes to meet his. "Harley?"
Tears welled in her eyes but she held them back. "Mista J…" She began. "You do like me, don't ya?"
Joker let out a sigh of relief that came out more like a laugh. "Is that all?" He stood. "You are a silly girl, Harley Quinn." He walked towards the kitchen.
"Wh-where are you going?" Harley asked, worried.
Joker looked back at her. "Do you want me to make you hot chocolate or not?"
She smiled, her whole body language lightening. "Really?" She sounded so hopeful.
He continued to the kitchen. "Go get dressed, sugar." He refused to look back at her but when he heard her feet skipping across the floor he couldn't contain a smile.
