Joker Reasoning

Jokers Series #4~ Joker Reasoning~

The falling rain swept by the wind in multiple directions. Though the lone figure perched on the windows ledge pays no heed to its violent thunderings. He stares transfixed by the young woman asleep. Purple gloved hands carefully open the window and step into the room. After some moments he crosses the room and over to the bed.Kneeling as silently as possible he reaches out to move a lock of hair which obscures her face slightly, to caress her cheek and he can't help but wish he was different, that all things in their lives were different. For what could have been, what should have been, but will never be.

She shudders and its then he realizes he failed to close the window. With a sigh and leaning down to place a chaste kiss to her lips he straightens and watches her a few moments longer. Deciding that even if only for awhile tonight he's not "the joker" he's just a man. A man who needs his wife, her touch, her warmth everything she is. He just needs a reason to touch her, a reason to be near her, anything will do as long as she will still have him, it'd kill him if she never wanted him again. A touch a soft as feathers over his face and through his hair breaks him out of his despairing reverie.

Grey-green and hazel eyes lock in a seemingly endless stare of everything and never. A soft touch of lips against his and tonight he's home, in her arms. Before he knows it he's pulled to the bed there's moaning-whimpering, shaking-pleading, pushing-pulling, crying out-beackoning before finally surrendering to a few hours of beautiful-blissful exhaustion in her arms, in her body, before waking. No batsy, no GCPD, no voices ringing continuously through his mind.

This is the way it could have been, should have been. Him and her always-never apart if only things were different. If only is hard to say. Dressing quietly, he pins a joker's card and pure white lily to the headboard. With a final glance to the woman asleep because of their actions, he's out the window and gone he's "the joker" again. He can only hope that she'll always wait for him and that no one ever knows the reason he doesnt have an obvious lover, because he has a wife. Most of all he hopes Batman never knows.
