#five two

You were just working with Joker

At least, that’s how it started

He knew about you before you even met, kept tabs on your actions because of how impressed he was with your power and intelligence. He didn’t have to recruit you because you already had similar missions. He just waited until it was the right time to work together.

Then he appeared in the smoke, a grin on his lips and his teeth held a cigarette. After looking him over you sighed and took the cigarette from his mouth, taking a long drag as he chuckled and lit another.

You adapted to working with him easily, he was entertaining and amusing and you thought it was nice to not be alone on your missions anymore.

Someone having your back was nice

He tried to fluster you but it just frustrated him at first because you didn’t get flustered, you just gave it back to him.

“Hey pretty girl” he’d say when he’d pop up again

You laugh “hey handsome, what’s the plan?”

Didn’t know why his heart would flutter at your compliment

You ended up flustering him more

Until his compliments and flirty tones increased

And you realized just how much you liked it

Leading to your first kiss

Which happened on a mission in the nether

Your footsteps barely made a noise as you moved through the dark, the only light was the red tip of his cigarette. He saw the white clad before you did, grabbing your hand and pulling you down a hidden hallway and hiding. “Come here often?” He whispered into your ear and you placed your face against his shoulder to contain your chuckles. “I’m a frequent visitor actually, I come here with a very amusing man, maybe you know him” you whisper back, your lips against his ear. “Hmmmm is that so? I bet he’s worth it if he pulled you here” your soft breath hit his neck and sent goosebumps down his spine “I must be worth it if he brings me along” your teeth graze the bottom of his ear and he gasps in shock, causing you to pull back in the small space and cover his lips with your fingers. A playful smile on your lips as you looked into his eye , through the darkness you could make out the passion in his eye and it made you shiver. So many things he wished to say, so many things in your head, he wanted to shout how worth it you were, how gorgeous and amazing and sweet. How you made his heart pound and unknown feelings enter his heart. But you both know that no words would suffice, the moment your fingers fall from his lips you’re both closing the distance, your lips touching gently before you both melt into each other, the kiss becoming more heated and hungry. Until fire illuminated you both and you had to part to fight with fire in your belly from the excitement of kissing him.

Your second kiss didn’t happen for a while after the first.

For a while you thought it was just going to be something that happened in the nether and would stay in the nether.

Until you were in your apartment one night, doing research and planning while listening to some music

you smelt the smoke before you saw him, he watched your smile spread before you looked up and found him on the fire escape outside of the window

“I bring coffee and more information”

He watched your shoulders relax and the line on your forehead from furrowing your brows fade because of his presence and help

You finished your planing and research around three am and he left the way he came in

You sat on the fire escape after he left, looking up at the sky, the longing and yearning in your heart almost breathtaking.

You gasp when you smell smoke and he chuckles as he sits down next to you “Hey pretty girl” you couldn’t help your blush, which was new, he’s never seen you blush before and he thought it was so beautiful. You smile as you meet his eye “Couldn’t stay away could you?” He shrugs “Gets harder ever day” he takes out another cig but before he brings it to his lips he lets you take it. It lights the second you place it to your lips, making you smile as you take a drag before raising it to his lips.

“You don’t have to leave you know” He almost missed you saying that your voice was so quiet. He flicks his cigarette over the side and cups your cheeks, meeting your lips halfway. You sigh into him and your hand raises to rest on his neck, your thumb brushing across his skin. His tongue brushes your bottom lip and you let him in, your tongues brushing together. The kiss was soft and slow, passion that only the stars could see. You part and he presses his forehead against yours, your eyes closed as you catch your breath.

Your third kiss happened a few minutes later

“You are worth it” He says through heavy breaths and you pull back with a confused look “what?” He chuckles “in the nether. You said..” he pretends to speak like you, his voice rising in pitch and making you chuckle “‘I must be worth it for him to bring me along’ and you are worth it. You’re strong and incredibly smart, not to mention beautiful, kind, and funny. I know you’re capable of so much because I’ve seen you handle yourself.” He leans in “it’s quite hot honestly. You’re quite hot when you fight”

You chuckle and look down shyly, your cheeks flushing darker “You’re worth it too. I’d follow you anywhere you wanted me. Anywhere you needed me. I know we can do anything together” he feels like his heart is beating triple time, he’s not familiar with feelings but he knows he enjoys feeling this with you. He cups your cheek and tilts your face up towards him “we make a pretty great team” his voice was flirty and he smiles sweetly “the only team I wanna be on” you whisper, your breath hitting his lips.

And that’s when your third kiss happened
