This is my first piece for Arthur/Joker in general and I'm a bit nervous but I hope you all like it!
ARTHUR FLECK
-I think his crush would develop rather quickly
-He'd bump into you while checking the mail for his mother and he wouldn't be able to get your kind smile out of his head
-Arthur would go out of his way to start running into more whether it be near the mailboxes of in the hallway and you caught on quickly-it was hard to tell if he knew he was being painfully obvious in following you around or if he thought he was being discrete
-After a while, Arthur spent his spare time following you where ever you went
-The store, work, the library; you always caught a glimpse of him
-At first, you were very cautious about him but you were the one to start a conversation after a few weeks of seeing him everywhere
-You purposely left out the fact that you knew he was stalking you though
-Arthur could tell that you knew from the look in your eyes and he was just happy he didn't scare you away
-Arthur's jokes are...unique
-Most of them are in the "I shouldn't laugh, that joker is super inappropriate" but you find yourself laughing anyway and laughing hard
-i.e that one joke in his journal "why did the old man like having insomnia? Because he didn't have to sleep with his wife."
-Arthur loves the sound of your laugh, and his crush on you is much bigger now
-Especially when you start telling him some of your own jokes you come up with
-There's nothing better he can think of than laughing the night away with you
-He loves how understanding you are
-You don't look at him weirdly when he has his laughing fits
-He loves that you're willing to help him
-Arthur would go out of his way to get you gifts and take you out
-He wants to spend all of his time with you and if he could, he would
-You're the happiness in his life right now and as things progress, he can't see a future without you in it
JOKER
-Now don't get me wrong, this is still Arthur, but due to a series of unfortunate events he is much different
-And he has a long way to go mentally
-When he first sees you, he watches you closely
-At first, there's a sort of battle on whether he should even pursue this or not
-The process doesn't change much, he would still end up watching you for a while, interested to see what you do every day and how you act
-Only Joker would purposely let you see him
-And you would only see him when he wants you to
-This will unnerve you a bit and Joker will enjoy seeing you scared
-He does show himself eventually and he nearly scares the hell out of you
-Only because you don't expect to see a guy in full clown makeup; specifically a guy who killed 6 people, one of them being on live television
-I think that condones a bit of panic, you know? Like an "oh SHIT" moment if you will
-Only when you realize his goal is not to kill you is when you calm down a bit
-Joker radiates a lot more confidence and that confidence keeps you around
-He seems so sure of himself and his actions, you find yourself intrigued
-The jokes don't change, if anything they get worse on the "I REALLY shouldn't laugh this joke is super inappropriate" scale
-For some reason, his darkest jokes seem to be the funniest
-Joker can't pinpoint one thing about you that drew him in
-There's so much about you that he can't get enough of
-After a while, you aren't scared of him and he really likes that
-Plus the fact that you seem to be ready to follow him to the ends of the Earth
-It gives him a sense of power that he's never had before
-He doesn't plan on giving that or you up anytime soon
-He treasures your smile, your laugh, everything about you
-The fact that you're genuinely interested in the way he thinks is something he can't fully wrap his head around
-But boy does he love you for it
-He enjoys your company and you enjoy his too
-You both are like a perfect match~
