Reader P.o.v

I had filled in applications for a few jobs. So within this week someone should call me back or at least i hope they do.
I sigh and turn to my door as i heard a knock. Arthur told me he would stop by after work so I hoped it was him.
I turn and open the door to be faced with Arthur in his clown makeup with tears in his eyes and a frown.
I pull him inside and hug him protectively.
"What happened?" I cupped his face and he sniffles. It was only 2 weeks ago he was a happy man at a comedy show with me.
"I dropped a gun in the childrens hospital. I didn't mean to. My boss said i stole the sign the kids broke and i have no job now. He said the people at work are scared of me. They all think im a freak.
"You are no freak Arthur. You are a good man and they dont deserve to have you work there. Do you hear me?" I ask making sure it gets through to him. The nerve of people in this fucking city.
He nods and pulls away from me calming himself down.
"Sorry i need to go take care of my mom and make her dinner." He says and smile sadly.
"Want some help?" I ask and he brightens up.
"I sleep on the couch. Its only a one room apartment like yours." I nod.
"Theres a small table in the living room.. If you really want to.." I nod
"I do really." He grins and takes my hand and we go up to his place. We walk in. It looked a lot like my place m just different wallpaper and obviously stuff.
"Mother I have someone over for dinner!" He calls out to her room.
"Is it A lady? Arthur you really should get yourself a girlfriend!" She calls back and his face turns red and he goes to the small kitchen.
"Its not much but i can start cooking some pork chops and you can mash the potatoes and un-can the green beans?" He suggests and i nod.
I wip the mashed potatoes and get everything ready and set the table with food. After he finished we sit on the couch and Arthurs mom comes and sits in the arm chair.
"Oh arent you lovely?! Arthur you picked a good one." She smiles and he blushes.
"My names Y/n, Ms. Fleck." I say and she nods.
"No need to he formal my name's penny." I nod and we start eating.
His mom was a very kind and nice woman. She was lucky to have a son like Arthur and he was lucky to have her. My parents and me didnt speak much so seeing them was very nice. We turned are entention to the tv as the news came om about someone murdering 3 people and saying it was a clown. Arthur frowns.
"Hear that Arthur. You should be careful." Penny says and he nods.
"Its getting crazier." He sighs
Thomas Wayne then came on tv talking about the boys. After his mom left the room I sighed.
"To me hes a hero." I shrug and Arthur laughs a little
"All people like those men do are be bad people. He was doing something that needed to happen." I sigh.
It then cut to all the people im clown masks and Arthur looked suprised.
"Its a movement." I say and grin.
"We should go down one day mabey it would be fun. It would mean something."
I stand up. "Its getting late i should get home and fill out more job applications." I hum and stand up stretching. Arthur nods and i go back to my apartment. His mom was nice. I regretted leaving right when i sat on my couch. I felt so alone.
I look down and curl up in a ball sad.
After a hour of watching tv i hear a knock on my door. I sigh and go answer it to be pushed back and kissed by Arthur. My eyes widened and his lips touched mine and his hand held my face and waste. I rested my hands on his neck and he pulls away gasping for air. I lean up and peck his lips before smiling.
"I like you a lot." He says and smiles.
"I like you to Arthur." I grin and he kisses me one more time before i pull him on top of me on the couch. We just laid in silence as i softly stroked his hair and he kissed me then my jaw and neck. I pulled his hand away from my body as he started putting it up my shirt.
"Im not attractive. I dont look good. I-" I sigh and my voice cracks and he holds my head close to his chest.
"I understand its ok baby." I blushed. I loved being with him... I just didnt want him to see the scars that covered my body. I didnt want him to leave.
"Why are you so insecure?" He asks and strokes my cheek.
"Because if you see me like that you'll leave." I whisper and he strokes my cheek.
"I will never leave. Ever. I will always be here for you. No matter what." I stand up and let my shirt slip off. I showed the many cuts from being beaten on the streets of gotham. I then pull down my pants to show even more. I look down as he didnt say anything
"You are beautiful. Baby we all have scars." He stands up and follows what i had done. He strips down to his underweat showing me his skinny figure.
"Your so thin Arthur. Your a very handsome man but your hurting yourself."
"I'll do better. I'll eat. Anything for you." He leans down and kisses me and he lays me back down on the couch. He moves down my neck to my chest.
I loved this man.
