"Ah ha ha~ my dear, I was merely jesting. But, from the sting of your slap, perhaps you do wish to engage in -,"
"No." I flatly growl dragging the stupid jester with me through the circus. The tiger cages need to be looked at. It seems that a particular tiger has gotten out a few times and the other workers can't figure out why. The skin around my wrist burns with irritation from the constant pulling. This sucks...and where in the world is Black? "White, where did Black actually go?"
"My my~ you're interested? If you say 'yes' to that particular question I'll tell you~," White hums without a pause in beat, skipping along beside me.
"Really?" I huff, aggravated with his constant pokes. He's relentless! Ever since earlier today it's been nothing but him trying to get my pants off.
"Really really~," he sang, suddenly yanking back on the chain. I suck in a deep breath as the metal dug into my skin. Ouch -! His arms wrapped around me from behind, using my own arm to trap me against him. I glance around, embarrassed. Really? In the middle of the circus? My heart sinks slightly as I notice that we are in an alley between tents. When did he get me here? He leans down, nuzzling his nose into the crook of my neck.
"You smell so sweet...," he hums, reveling in my scent alone, "you smell like a honey suckle. May I take a sample?" He smoothly purrs, tilting my head up as he plants a kiss on my lips. I roll my eyes, annoyed and pull back.
"Knock it off. I want to get this done before night." He sighs and shrugs his shoulders with a simple smile.
"If that is what milady wishes." I do my best to ignore White's presence as I pull back the flap to the tiger's tent. Immediately five of the eight tigers look my way gazing at me without eyes. A shiver runs up my spine. Ugh...I don't think I'll ever really get used to the animals not having eyes. The other three remain lying in their cage resting before the next show.
"So tell me, dear, which one was it again?"
"6." I say trotting by the cage with a big gold number 6 encrusted on the top. Well, the corners look pretty solid and so does the lock. Huh? Some scratches around the lock catches my eye as I take a closer look at it. "Someone's been picking this lock."
"Truly?" White ponders, musing on the prospect as a breath roll over my left shoulder. I jump, turning all the way around to face him.
"Don't do that." I reprimand slapping his hand away.
"But why?"
"Because I said so."
"Aw~ but that's not a very fun answer. Ah, milady, would you care to dance?" He suddenly asks as some drums and trumpets play outside the tent.
"Dance? No, White I'm working right now." I bluntly refuse turning my attention back to the cage. These scratches look familiar. I bet whoever picked this has some experience- "Wah-!"
"My condolences, dear but...I will not take no for an answer." White playfully purrs yanking me into the center of the tent. He takes up a waltzing position, holding me tight as he spins around in circles about the tent.
"White, what's gotten into you?!" I demand, pushing against his chest but he didn't budge. He mindlessly laughs along as he twirls me out, only to yank me right back in and smack against his chest. "You're crazy!"'
"My dear...you're that one which makes me absolutely crazily happily insanely mad." He seductively hums kissing me on the forehead. "I'm actually quite jealous, dear."
"Jealous?" I ask, tail spinning from the quick changes of topics and his adept steps in the dance, each of which leaves me breathless from the all too smooth transitions.
"Yes. All this time you've been spending so much time with Black in that awful jail that you hardly pay attention to me or the circus. I'm quite hurt, dear." He whines pressing my hand to his chest. His clock ticks quietly as he spins me around the tent.
"White, you're spinning too much and it's making me sick-,"
"I must say, I am actually very frustrated, dear. You always go on about 'Black this' and the 'Jail House' that...but you never are concerned with helping me out in the circus."
"Because you have clowns to help you!"
"And Black, his afterimages. It hurts, love, nevertheless." White fluidly counters. My stomach does flips as he continues to twist me around, increasing in tempo with the speeding up music. Oh I don't feel so good...
"W-Well -!" I struggle to come up with a valid argument as he miraculously flips me over his back, spinning me in tight circles as he catches my unstable feet in a whirlwind of complex moves. "I-I don't know how to perform most of the acts, that's all!"
"I'll teach you!" he cries, grasping my waist as he holds me in the air like a breathless ballerina. "My, what a wondrous idea! Of course, only if milady agrees to it~,"
"F-Fine! Just promise to stop sp-spinning me around...," I dizzily trail off clutching his shoulders for needed support. He genuinely smiles as he places my feet to the ground.
"Milady, you've made me so happy!" White cries pulling me into a hug. I slump in his grasp unable to really put in the effort to refuse him. My stomach hurts now.
‡
I'm in Hell.
Straight.
Up.
Hell.
The elephant trumpeted loudly as it stood on its hind legs taking me up with it. I scramble to the crown of its head balancing precariously on the diamond studded head dress. White claps his hands with a broad smile as he helps me balance on the giant animal.
"My dear, you are a natural~," he hums slipping out his whip.
"Down!" He commands with a quick crack. The eyeless elephant drops to all four making me lose my footing.
"Whoopsie daisy~," he hums, pasting me onto his chest as he alone balances on the beast.
"Excellent my dear! You, be sure to feed her extra peanuts for that wondrous performance." White hums as he hops to the ground with me in his arms. The faceless clown smiles and bows.
"Of course!" He answers, clicking a leash to her collar and leads her away.
"My dear, do you like fire?" White asks as his face turns very childish, eyes glittering like a kid on Christmas.
"Huh?" I ask, confused by his question. "Fire?"
"Yes! For one of my favorite acts!" He trills snapping his left hand five times. With each snap a flaming bowling pin falls from the sky right into his hand. I try to jump away but he quickly pins me to his chest. Holy crap -!
"Whoa!" I cry as one draws too close.
"Isn't it astounding? The way the fire dances through the air with each toss as they loop around? Why, I find it absolutely mesmerizing!" White madly laughs juggling with one hand alone. I cower into his side baffled by this side of Joker. I don't think I've ever seen him get so excited before. Normally he's pretty reserved but this is one of the few times I've seen him genuinely smile for so long. "Oh? Do you not like it?"
"I'm...surprised, White. I don't think I've ever really see you smile like this for so long." I honestly note keeping a wary eye on the flaming torches.
"So...you like to see me smiling?" White croons with a deadly icy tone. I lean back in his arm as my heart pounds hard from the close quarters. Oh gosh is this another attack?
"Uh, yeah? I mean, it's been a while since I've seen you so happy."
"Would you like to make me happier?" He seductively purrs trapping me in his ruby red eye. He leans in cruelly tempting me with his lips as he chuckles. I close the distance wrapping my arm around his neck to deepen the kiss. The plates shatter on the ground as White crushes his arm to my back curling his fingers in a tight grip with my cuffed hand. A strange hum purrs in the back of my throat as the world spins in dizzying circles from the lack of air. He pulls back with a loud pop and grins as I droop across his arms unable to stand on my stable feet. Wow ~
"Oh? Are you tired dear?" He asks with concern, hedging between playfulness and actual concern.
"Yeah...," I mutter hardly able to bring myself to get back up. White sure knows how to tire me out, I'll give him that...
"No." He pouts, crouching down and pinches my nose. I flinch back, startled.
"Huh?"
"No, you're not tired. You said until the 'night' time change. So, until then, we still have the rest of this time change to have fun!" White boisterously cries, clapping his hands together. Giant bouncing beach balls fall from the roof of the tent as dozens of toy airplanes and helicopters and blimps and even toy hot air balloons materialized out of thin air, flying to their own accord around the entire arena.
"OH MY GOSH!" I cry as one of the giant yellow and red striped balls the size of an elephant dropped right over us. White grasps my waist as he leaps back, bounding high into the air from a tiny trampoline. I utter a small scream as he lands on one of the balls, falling with it to the ground before leaping to another one.
"Isn't this just delightful?" He cries, ecstatic as he clutches me tightly.
"Not at all -!" I scream as he lands with his back against the next ball, sailing through the air with a giant smile over his face.
‡
"Ah ha ha~ perhaps I went overboard?" White hums with a sheepish smile as he hands me some seltzer water. I sip down the medicine quelling the nausea in my stomach. Ugh I feel awful...I haven't been feeling too hot for a while. Am I getting sick? Hm...when was the last time I got sick? I can't remember.
I glance around White's room astounded at the difference compared to Black's room. White's room is full of eye popping red and yellows with multiple stuffed animals and toys in piles around the room, with a few scattered over the floor. Out of the two of them I honestly would have expected White to be the cleaner of the two. I sway to the side thumping my head to White's shoulder. He smiles and covers my hand lightly squeezing.
"Are you perhaps feeling a tad better?" He murmurs touching his lips to my head.
"A little," I answer relaxing against him. My nose scrunches up as I take a small whiff of my hair. Ew.
"I need a shower." I say without thinking. White's smile broadens as he sweeps me off my feet.
"I as well." He responds slipping through another door. A one person shower stands alone in the bathroom, separated by another door leading to the toilet and sink. Oh gosh.
"Wait a minute. You're not doing what I think you're doing right?" I ask, trembling as he slips off his shirt. His abs blazes with its full glory as heat rushes to my face. Oh gosh no -!
"Whatever do you mean? I need a shower, you need a shower, and we are connected. So, in conclusion, let's shower together-,"
"No."
"Oh? But dear-" He begins, slipping off his pants only leaving him in his infamous
"No." I growl.
"Well, do you perhaps have a better idea, dear?" He asks with a knowing smile, hooking his thumbs into his boxers.
"I do, actually."
‡
Well, this escalated quickly.
White's amazing muscles ripple as he vigorously kneads the shampoo into his hair, letting the water rinse the bubbles out. He even took his eye patch off, carefully navigating himself so every time I caught sight of his Warden's eye it is closed. I nervously try to cover my bra and underwear unable to hide myself from his beckoning eye. Oh man this sucks ... I'm glad I was able to convince him to wear his boxers at least. His arm encircles behind me gently pressing me against his stomach. Oh my good golly gosh...
"What's the matter? This was your idea wasn't it?"
"W-W-Well, yeah but -,"
"Here, let me get that for you." He hums, leaning forward as he reaches for the shampoo bottle. My face steadily grows more and more red as he squeezes a dot into his palm beginning to rub the shampoo into my head.
"H-Hey! I-I-I can do that myself!" I growl as he rubs it in. A vicious grin flashes across his face as he 'slips' forward, pinning me against the wall with his rock chiseled abs.
"Aw~ but this way it will go faster. Ah; while I wash your hair why don't you soap me down?" He horribly compromises handing me a hand rag with a ton of soap dripping from it. I gawk as my face flushes even deeper.
"N-No way -!"
"The more you do now the faster this bath will go." He reminds me, tilting my head up. His lips glisten with the water looking more than tempting as I rip my eyes from him. Oh gosh this is terrible...I slip on the fingerless glove - like rag running it across his belly. A shiver visibly runs up his spine as I quickly finish his torso, standing on my tip toes to reach the back of his neck. He sucks in a wild gasp and runs his fingers through my slick conditioned hair, smashing his lips to mine. I squeak, shocked as he leans forward literally bending me backwards in the close quarters.
"White -!" I hiss shoving against his throat. His tongue slips past my lips and sweeps the inside of my mouth for a quick run through before yanking his head back, panting for air.
"Ah...," he trails off, releasing me as he collects his senses.
"My...apologies lady. That was quite shocking, even for me." He surprisingly admits, deeply exhaling as he shakes off the initial shock before turning to me with a broad smile. "I suppose that's all for today, isn't it?"
"Y-Yeah." My mouth remains open and in shock as he squeaks the water close. He pulls back the sliding glass door and grabs a towel, tossing it over my body. He turns away and grabs a blindfold, tying it around his eyes.
"What are you -,"
"Please, get dressed. There should be some dry undergarments there in the pile." He says motioning in the general direction of the counter. I gaze at White, puzzled at his suddenly remorseful attitude. My...he's surprisingly humble right now. Black never shows this side of Joker. I giggle and does as he asks, slipping off the soaking wet clothing and dry off, placing on the bright red laced undergarments. Joker sure does like his lace. I snap on the bra's adjustable snaps and somehow slip on Joker's PJ top before a thought occurs to me. How did I get my arm through? I slip the sleeve down watching with astonishment as the clothe easily passes through the metal. Just what kind of demonic handcuffs are these?
"Are you done, milady?" White asks as he shivers from the cold nipping air. I pause and quietly observe his surprisingly meek voice as he patiently sat on the toilet. He's ... seriously being patient here. My heart throbs as I take his jaws in my hands kissing him on the lips.
"Yes, I am done White." I sweetly answer. I like patient Joker. His clock ticks fast beneath my hand as his head rolls back allowing me to deliver a quick kiss to his throat. And another. And another.
"Ah~ my love, as much as I adore this sort of attention I am getting rather chilled." White finally admits pulling off his blindfold. I smile and kiss him on the nose, taking the blindfold for myself.
"Sorry." I say covering my own eyes. What happened to me? Seeing him like that ... was interesting. But why did I keep kissing him? Because he didn't do anything back? Or maybe because he was incapacitated in some way? I blush as I listen to him peeling off the wet boxers, slipping on his silk pants. A warm pair of lips suddenly press against my mouth as he slides the blindfold off gazing deeply into my eyes with his ruby red orb.
I melt into his embrace as he picks me up with one arm, carrying me to the bed with bright red covers and yellow sheets. He drops me to the covers and slides into the center of the single bed rolling over so I was on top of him. I carefully keep it at a controllable level never letting him venture too far with his searching hands. His free hand hooks the back of my knee rubbing the ticklish area as he slowly slides upward. I grunt in annoyance and swat his hand away, to which he tactfully retreats and rests his hand on my back. I push his other hand to the bed folding my fingers between his own as he eagerly succumbing to my will. White is ... much more pliable than Black is. Usually it's always Joker's forceful nature that over takes him but here, alone with Joker's Jester half, I find that alone he is pretty ... how should I say it? Submitting? Oh I don't even care anymore...
"Jackie...," he mutters between breaths of air, alternating between my lips and his words.
"Ye...ah?" I ask under the same predicament.
"Would you...do me the - honor of,"
"Marrying me?"

Oh~ it looks like he's not very relenting now is he? Look forward to the next chapter because I know I am~ 10 REVIEWS for the next chapter as usual. And just to let you know White's mask was on the nightstand which is how Black joined in the conversation at the end just to let you know :)
