Arthur Fleck and Joker Imagines

Kiss - Arthur x Reader

A little shorter than my usual imagines, but I hope its sweet 😍

(Y/n) couldn't help but smile as she looked over at Arthur as he sat pouting on the sofa; she had known him long enough to know that that face meant he wanted something, but this time (Y/n) was going to make him work for it.

As she busied herself around the apartment, cleaning, and making sure that everything was ready so that she could put dinner in the oven, she heard Arthur let out a big sigh.

"Arthur honey, what's wrong?" (Y/n) asked, looking over at him, trying not to smile.

"Nothing, I'm fine." Arthur said, sighing again as he slumped back into the sofa.

Even after all this time Arthur was never sure how to ask for affection when he needed it; for so long he had been starved of love, starved of warmth and care, that now he had it he wasn't sure what to do.

Even asking for something as simple as a kiss or a hug, would normally turn him into a blushing mess, causing him to dart off into the bedroom, where he would wait until (Y/n) followed him and took him in her arms. Most of the time (Y/n) would just hold him close, and kiss him gently when he began to pout, knowing that that was what he wanted; but he looked so adorable as he sat there with his arms across his chest, she had to fight the urge to give into him straight away.

"What are you doing?" Arthur asked, as he started following (Y/n) around the apartment, sticking close to her side.

"Well, I have to get my things ready for work tomorrow, and I'm going to put dinner in the oven." (Y/n) told him, as Arthur tentatively inched his way closer and closer to her.

She felt a little guilty for not just pulling him into her arms and kissing him straight away; she hated the idea that he might ever think that she didn't love him, but for once she wanted him to ask to be loved. She needed to know that he loved her as much as she loved him, and that he should know that if he asked her for affection that she would not turn him away.

"Can I help?" Arthur asked, his emerald green eyes staring at her like some beautiful needy puppy.

"You could put dinner in the oven if you like." (Y/n) told him, watching as his eyes darted between her and the oven.

"Sure, will you come with me?" Arthur said, grabbing hold of (Y/n)'s hand and pulling her with him towards the over.

(Y/n) couldn't help but chuckle, it was more than obvious that Arthur wanted to be near her, but he still wasn't sure how to tell her what he actually wanted.

"So, you ask me to let you do something, and then you take me with you; I might as well have done it myself in the first place." (Y/n) laughed, opening the oven door and placing the pot inside.

"I just like doing things with you that's all, I like being close to you." Arthur said, as he stood before her, starting to look a little uncomfortable.

"Arthur, will you please tell me what's wrong?" (Y/n) said. Crossing her arms across her chest and staring at the painfully lovable man in front of her.

"Its nothing. I just want to be close to you." Arthur said, reaching out and taking her hand.

"Arthur please. I know you want something; just ask me for what you want. You know I love you, don't you?" (Y/n) asked, taking Arthurs face in her hands.

Arthur nodded, his eyes falling to look at the ground.

"And you know that I would never do anything to hurt you, so just ask Arthur." (Y/n) told him, watching as Arthur began to blush lightly.

"Kiss." Arthur mumbled, barely above a whisper.

"Arthur, there is no reason to hide what you want; just tell me." (Y/n) said, her fingers softly brushing over his sharp cheekbones.

"Kiss, would you kiss me please (Y/n)?" Arthur said, slightly louder, looking at the woman he loved.

"Oh Arthur, of course I'll kiss you, you silly thing." (Y/n) said, pulling the blushing man into her arms and kissing him softly.

As she held him close, (Y/n) she could feel the tension leave his body, as if the weight of the world had been lifted off his shoulders. Without warning, Arthur suddenly seemed to stand up straighter and stronger, as he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close, as he deepened the kiss. (Y/n) was shocked for a moment, Arthur was usually quiet and passive, but this sudden more confident, slightly dominant side was amazingly thrilling.

As she pulled away, Arthur rested his forehead on hers.

"Well, would you like another kiss?" (Y/n) asked, a sparkle coming to her eyes as suddenly Arthur picked her up in his arms and made for the bedroom.

"Kisses can wait, dinner can wait, I'm hungry for something else." Arthur said, dropping her onto the bed.

"I couldn't agree more Arthur." (Y/n) said, smirking as she pulled him on to the bed with her.

As much as she loved her sweet, shy Arthur, she hoped that this more dominant side was here to stay.
