Joker used: Heath Ledger's Joker
Snow was great. It was beautiful and fun; as long as you weren't in it. But sadly you had to work late on Christmas Eve. And it decided to snow. By the time you made it back to your apartment due to the annoying traffic, it was ten minutes to midnight. You quickly shuffled into your apartment, wanting to get out of your cold, wet clothes as soon as possible but paused seeing Christmas lights on each wall. You definitely didn't put those up. Shrugging off your coat, you took in all the new decorations.
Your small, cutely decorated Christmas tree still sat on your coffee table but now there was a much bigger one in the corner of your living room decorated with ornaments of your favorite colors and a beautiful shining gold star on top. There were a few presents under the tree but the big ones caught your attention the most. The green and purple wrapping gave it away, but you still jumped a bit feeling arms wrap around you.
"What happened to, uh, not working today?"
"That was the plan but I got called in. A little extra money wouldn't hurt." You looked up at The Joker. "This was a lovely surprise. I don't remember giving you a key."
"Who says I needed a key?" He retorted.
"Well, I'd rather you not break in. Just a preference of mine," you turned to face him, a big smile on your face. "You didn't have to do all this. I didn't expect you to."
"Oh, I know you didn't. That's why I did. I love surprises."
You chuckled. "What happened to being busy? Big plans? Made that up?"
"Well, no. I'll handle that once I leave here."
"Well, what if the Batman is spending time with his family?" You wrapped your arms around him.
His grip tightened a bit once you mentioned Batman and you could see the excitement in his dark eyes.
"You think so?" The Joker leaned in closer as his tongue darted across his scarred cheeks. "I'm not very sure. This is Batman we're talking about-ah. If he's out any other night to, uh, make Gotham a better place, I don't think there's a family waiting for him."
He made a good point.
"See, that's the one thing we don't have in common. I actually have someone waiting for me. Someone lovely-ah." He cooed, making you chuckle.
"Yes. So don't get yourself too caught up in this chaos, mister." You warned.
"No, no, no. Where's the fun in that? I'm just taking you along for the ride is all. Oh, would you look at the time," he lifted your wrist to look at your watch. "Midnight. Merry Christmas, doll." His eyes darted up and you followed them, eyeing the mistletoe hanging from the ceiling.
"Seriously?" You snorted as he chuckled.
The Joker poked your nose. "Just admit it, you wanna kiss me."
"Yeah? Maybe you wanna kiss me and you think that using reverse psychology would make me kiss you." You raised an eyebrow, "and a mistletoe."
The Joker shrugged and leaned in closer.
"Well. Did it work-ah?"
"Yeah, you fuckin' goof. It worked." You grinned and pressed your lips against his.
He pulled you closer once you moved away to breathe.
"I hope you didn't get a bunch of mistletoes and put them all over my apartment." You tried to see if you could spot anymore as you spoke.
"What if I did?"
You let out a laugh and shook your head. "Very creative."
"You think so?" He lifted your head up.
"Mhm. Definitely." You kissed him again.
Your hands moved up to his neck once the kiss got a bit heated and you huffed once he pulled away.
"Don't pout. Let's open your presents first." The Joker gestured over to the Christmas tree.
"Hm. No, I think you should open your present first." You started to push off his coat.
"And just what is my present?"
You smile at him. "Well, these clothes aren't going to take themselves off. Sorry, I'm a bit wet." You cooed.
"Alright fine."
You let out a laugh as The Joker lifted you up and started moving towards the bedroom.
"I'll, uh, gladly open my present first."
"Wait, if you cut my clothes I swear to God-put the knife away!" You screeched as he pulled out his pocket knife.
"I'll open my present however I want to-ah."
"J! I'm serious!"
He definitely owes you some new clothes.
