"You don't trust me, admit it Bat's!" Harley biting her lip out of frustration from how Bruce always hovering around her before she did anything. Parking in the bat cave, Batman got out the car first. "I trust you Harley." Not giving her any courtesy of making eye contact saying that to her. She
sat there remembering what brought her here and how badly she wanted to escape the abuse. There to give her a hand when she was in need, giving her a home safe away from Joker himself.
She watch him sit at his computer seeing him without the mask he wore more than his own face concentrating. He never seem to take a rest. "Hey Ba-Bruce. I notice you haven't been sleeping, I think you need to take break." Bruce typing away could feel Harley at his side, he almost shrug her off but the look of worry held him from speaking them. "I'm fine Harley." Her hand grab his from continuing, he wasn't happy but understood why she did it. She was angry at him for being restrictive when she help him out there fight crime but right now she knew it wasn't the most active of times.
"Why do you push yourself Bruce, you can let the police to take care of the small fry's at least." She heard his loud sigh when he got up and walk to the elevator out of the bat cave. She follow along, Bruce waiting for her to be at his side. 'He's doing something to us.' Exiting from the elevator into his room, she wasn't going to drop one thing that bothered her. "Do you really trust me? When we're at home you stop being a control freak with me." Bruce usual confidence not found in this situation but he face worse.
"Harley, I don't mean to offend you," his voice being firm even when he didn't know what to do; "I'm not trying to be be overbearing. I want to protect you." She didn't expect to hear that from him. "Oooooh." She was way off the mark on her own reasoning. All she could muster is a dry "Thanks Bruce." Giving him a big smile as he left into his bathroom saying you're welcome, she tried her best not to analyze his voice into something else again. Harley went into her room with exhaustion slowly making her eyes heavy as she put her phone down an idea came into her head.
Bruce laid on his bed thinking about the entire day, replaying every single moment with her. His year's of training brought him awareness. As he saw the door open and the silhouette of the one stuck on his mind. "Harley?" She began doubting her idea 'How did this sound like a good idea Harley!" Bruce mind racing at what she could want at this time and the revealing clothing she wore to sleep wasn't helping his brain to state the obvious to him. "Do you want to sleep together?" She felt a blush on her face she couldn't hide, she saw his eyes widen open.
She began laughing; using her hands to help him from misunderstanding. "I mean sleep in the same bed, been feeling lonely in this big mansion of yours." It's been this way since his family eventually left when he brought her home. 'It couldn't hurt.' Bruce patting the bed giving her the okay, she let her happiness fill the air. She jump high into the air landing on the bed, making the spring of the bed echo throughout the room.
They laid there not knowing what to do, the change of being in bed with each other immediately. Bruce took the initiative telling her good night facing away from. The peaceful sensation of her presence allowing him to rest. A couple hours he woke up to her holding him, facing her direction. Her eyes closed.
The urge to turn away from her but fighting to not disturb her sleep. Bruce let out what else made him protective "I love you Harley." Whispering to himself. He close his eyes gently holding her more close into him, a deep loving embrace. Harley arms tighten around him after making sure he fell asleep, she wasn't sure about her own feeling. 'You love me Bruce, how can you love someone like me?' Falling asleep to her thinking, hoping she could forget what he said or tomorrow will be for certain a awkward time.
