[ he kept his eyes half lidded watching her even if she was blurry.]

I promise, I will in time. For now how about we go upstairs and have a bath or lie down?

[revmeup]

Ohhh, a bath sounds perfect.

[ She stretched underneath him before moving to sit up. ]

Can I ask you somethin'?

[hosannas_of_anguish]

Thought it might.

[ He mused, holding a hand out for his glasses, or her hand. Could be either or both.]

Always, what do you want to know, darlin'?

[revmeup]

[ Harley perched his glasses on top of her head and took his hand. ]

Since I started working at Arkham, really?

[hosannas_of_anguish]

[ She was going to have to lead the way to the tub. He's pretty blind without his specs.]

Mmmhmmm, very unprofessional of me, but I worked there with you, maybe a month before I was captured.

[ He had moonlit at Arkham between hits before Batman captured him. Arkham was all that would take him after the gun.]

[revmeup]

Wow.

[ She could feel herself blush, so he didn't get his glasses back yet. ]

I never had a clue. I don't even remember meeting you then.

[ She kissed him and put his glasses back on for him after pulling away to head upstairs. She shed clothes as she went.]

[hosannas_of_anguish]

Even then, I aimed to keep to myself. I was already making the Scarecrow known by then so, I had no time to really do more but notice you.

[ He explained, thankful when his vision became less blurry. Smiling a bit for her as he watched her shed her clothes. Tossing the lab coat over the railing of the steps as he followed along taking in the sight.]

I didn't fully know you, not really. And by the time i was arrested they kept me pretty drugged up. I can't really be for certain when we were introduced.

[revmeup]

Ohhh, so you just liked the look of hot young blonde around the place.

[ She paused at the top of the stairs to kiss him when he caught up. ]

I think it was that, uhh. That group art therapy? It didn't last long, cuz everyone made shivs out of the paintbrush handles.

[hosannas_of_anguish]

To be fair, I've always had a weak spot for blondes, your confidence also helped a lot.

[ Back then he was a lot more hung up on his looks to ever speak to someone as lovely as her.

He kissed her back once he caught up, pulling her close a moment ]

Ahh, yes I do recall that.

[revmeup]

[ She slid an arm around him, so they could walk together. ]

We didn't really talk then, though. Not until... I think it was when you, me, an' Eddie all had rec room privileges at the same time.

[hosannas_of_anguish]

[ Moving along with her, an arm over her shoulder once he had tossed his shirt off into the bedroom, to lead them towards the bathroom, where the vintage claw tub awaited.]

Now, see that I remember, that was around when I met Edward as well. Ahh, the old days.

[revmeup]

Love that guy.

[ She leaned over the tub to get the water the right temperature and poured a measure of bubble bath into the tub. A bath without bubbles wasn't even worth considering, in her opinion. ]

For someone who had a crush on me for years, you sure were hard to actually date.

[hosannas_of_anguish]

To you, I'll admit he's one of my best friends, I don't quite know when that happened either.

[ He leaned on the doorframe watching her get the bath ready, sometimes he just enjoyed watching her. ]

I didn't really think you were serious at first, and the week wait was because I am used to sleeping with someone and disappearing. I needed time to come to grips with the fact we both wanted this.

[revmeup]

My love life is the only thing I take seriously. Hopefully by now you believe I'm in it for real.

[ She trailed her fingers through the bubbly foam and started to step into the tub. ]

Are you just gonna watch? Ya perv.

[hosannas_of_anguish]

Of course, I do now. You have made it quite clear and I dare say I think you might attack anyone who might try to touch me now.

[ Which he was fine with. He hated being touched by people outside of his circle. Pushing off the wall, he made his way over, only now peeling off his Halloween socks and pushing off his pants.]

I don't deny it, can you blame me with how lovely you are?

[ He spoke before stepping in the tub after her, which was only a bit of a challenge with thos long legs.]

[revmeup]

[ Harley didn't bother to deny it either. She settled between his long legs and leaned back against his chest. Her head tucked neatly under his sharp chin. She sighed happily. ]

This is just what I needed.

[hosannas_of_anguish]

[ He wrapped his arms around her just under the water around her waist once she was settled in.]

I thought it might help you unwind. Feeling more at ease?

[revmeup]

Mmmhmmm.

[ She slid her hands down his arms and threaded her fingers through his. ]

Though the orgasm took care of that too.

[hosannas_of_anguish]

Yes, but you often shower after we've been intimate, so this seemed idea.

[ He squeezed her hand back, and kissed the top of her head.]

[revmeup]

Y'know, you warned me at the start that you weren't good at relationship stuff, but you're doing a pretty great job.

[ She closed her eyes and let herself fully relax in his arms. It would be easy to drift off just like this if she wasn't careful. ]

[hosannas_of_anguish]

... Truthfully, I read a lot of romance novels. I simply wanted to treat you the way that felt right. You're happy, right?

[ he wouldn't let her slip down in the water, though he did relax a bit, propping one of those long legs on the edge of the tub.]

[revmeup]

Very happy.

[ She let go of one hand and trailed her fingers over the lean muscles of his leg. ]

Are you?

[hosannas_of_anguish]

[ He was quiet a long moment when she asked her question, the free hand idly tracing patterns around her belly button while he pondered his words. ]

I don't think I knew happiness before you, Harleen, but now? This life we've made, I dare say it is happiness, it is something I do not see myself being able to live without if we somehow parted. You've bewitched me, Dr. Quinzel.

[revmeup]

Oh Jonny...!

[ She turned around with a lot of sloshing water so she could throw her arms around him and kiss him. Harley had loved the party lifestyle and constant nights on the town with the Joker, but part of her had always hoped he would one day settle down and the two of them would have a life ... Well. Like this one.

This was what she had wanted all along. ]

[hosannas_of_anguish]

[ A suprised noise escaped him when she turned, the slosh clearly unexpected and yet, he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her softly in return. Pulling back enough to speak but let their lips brush.]

To repeat, I want you to be you. You make me feel this way just as you are. Please don't try to change to make me happy, just, don't let other men touch you as I would. That is my only real rule.
