Anyway it's been a while since I watched Book of Circus I forgot how cute Joker was!  This was requested by BestIrishTwat So I hope you enjoy!

Your pov

I looked up at the poster plastered on the wall in front of me. "Noah's Ark Circus." I read out loud, my voice weak yet a smile was on my face. I followed the sound of the circus music until I found that familiar circus tent set up. I felt my heart pound harder. I'll see him again...

I purchased a ticket with what little money I had and took my seat in the audience. The lights dimmed and as the crowd waited in anticipation, a spotlight turned on. I felt the world stop when I saw his face. Memories of the last time we saw each other and the nights we shared together appeared in my mind. Joker... you have a lot of explaining to do...

He introduced the performers and let the show get underway. I watched the show as I had done multiple times before. No matter how many times I watch it I still enjoyed it every time. The final act came and Joker asked for someone to join them for Beast's act. Me as well as a few other eager audience members put our hands up. 

I could see Joker looking at the others until his eyes landed on me. I grinned at his reaction for a second before returning to a straight face and standing up. Everyone was silent as I walked out of the tent, taking one last glance at Joker and shooting him a quick wink. I walked towards where the first string tents were set up and waited for that ginger-haired man to come round that corner.

It didn't take long for the show to end and not long after I heard the sound of shoes thumping on the ground coming towards me. I turned my head and after a second Joker came into my eyesight. "(Y/N)!" That familiar cockney accent made me smile slightly. He stopped in front of me, his eyes clearly full of shock.

"(Y/N)...W-What are you doing here?"  He looked me up and down. I was wearing a raggedy shirt and jacket with some shorts. The only clothes to my name.

"Shut it Joker. You know full well why I'm here." He looked down sadly. "Look...I'm sorry..." 

"You better be sorry! You know how shit it was to wake up and find out you'd left! You didn't even tell me!" I yelled at him. I let all my emotions from that night run loose. 

I'd met Joker when the circus had made it's way up north. I had been the audience member that decided to join in with Beasts act and after the performance, Joker had caught up with me and said he wanted to get to know me better. At first, I was concerned that he was just messing about with me. People had messed me about before when they had found out I was gay but Joker looked so handsome I just couldn't say no to him. 

For the month the circus was in my town, we got to know each other a lot personally and...intimately. We fell in love and I came to see him at every moment I could. I was even considering getting a job at the circus so I could be with him. Then one morning... he was just gone. The circus had suddenly left town and I was left behind. I was a servant for a horrid master and my salary was terrible. I had no way of knowing where they had gone or how to find him. He'd left me.

"You fucking hurt me so much Joker." I said with anger running through my voice. "Was I just a quick shag for you? You just do it to see what it was like with a guy? Did I mean ANYTHING?"

"No! No you were never that! You were-" He stopped talking and moved his head closer to my face.

"What's wrong with your eye?" He said with a serious tone. 

All the anger drained from my body. I suggested we head into his tent as the other circus members were making their way back and so we entered his tent. He sat down on his bed and gestured for me to join him with his prosthetic hand. We were both silent for a minute before I decided to speak.

"When I heard the Circus was going to London I had to come and find you. But my master wasn't too happy when I told him I wanted to quit ..." I let out a dry laugh as I saw the realisation dawn upon his face. "I was lucky I stumbled upon a philanthropist and he was nice enough to sort out me out a new eye." I reached up and pulled out my artificial eye.

"I always told ya northerners are nicer than southerners. I jumped a train to London, hid in the baggage compartment and well now I'm here." 

I looked over at him with my one eye and saw the regret on his face. "(Y/N) I'm sorry. It's my fault it is... If I'd just let you come you wouldn't have that there glass eye..." I held the eye out to him and allowed him to take a look at it. "Joker why did you leave me behind?" I quizzed, putting my eye back in carefully.

"(Y/N) there are some things I have done and have to keep doing for reasons I can't say right now. I just wanted to keep you safe and away from it all." Guilt ran through his voice as he buried his head in his hand. 

"You're an idiot." His head snapped up in confusion. "W-Wha?!"

"Joker we were in love with each other. I still am in love with you! And you're an idiot for not knowing that I'll be there to help you with whatever this is. I can tell just by your voice that whatever you've got yourself into you don't wanna do it and if you'd just let me in I can help you!" 

I could see he was about to protest but I wouldn't let him. I leaned forward and kissed him, my arms snaking around his body. I felt him give up on protesting and kiss back. "Fuck I've missed this." He groaned out, pushing me down onto the bed.

"Joker promise you won't leave me again." I murmured between kisses. 

"(Y/N) I love you. I won't leave you ever again. It hurt too much last time." He laughed, laying down next to me. I laughed back, looking into his eyes. 

"I love you too Joker." I smiled as he looked into my prosthetic eye and I held his prosthetic hand. 

I hope this wasn't too shit and you actually enjoyed it!

Until next time Bye- Jude
