Reader P.o.v

I woke up and sat on my couch reading though the paper for a new job. I wanted something easy but there wasnt much business right and left we're closing down. I sigh and look down as i turned to face out my window. I didn't understand what i could even do. I don't have many options. I sigh and turn my head to face the door as I heard a knock. I huff and sit up and walk to the door and peek out the key hole.
"Arthur, what are you doing here?" I ask with a hum.
He smiles "Well i uh.. Im doing this comedy show thing and I really wished you would come. I know its sudden and its tonight and i completely understand if you have plans." He rambles and I laugh softly.
"Of course I'll come Arthur. Im sure your the funniest comedian ever to be there?" I say and he grins.
"Really?" He asks and his eyes light up.
I nod "Really. Hey wanna come in and have some coffee? Mabey you can practice some jokes on me?" I suggest and hold the door open for him.
"Well i wouldn't want to interrupt you.." He frowns a little.
"Its perfectly ok. I havent been doing much anyways." I shrug and he nods walking in.
"You have a very nice place." He says politely and sits on the couch.
I sit next to him. "Thanks." I then pick up the job book and push it away looking down.
"You got fired?" He asks with a frown and a confused face.
"I quit ok. Stuff uh.. I dont want to talk about it." I whisper and he rubs my back.
"Im sorry.. If you want to talk im here?" He says and i nod a little sniffling as my teary eyes looked up at him with a broken smile.
"Its ok, Arthur, I go to therapy." I whisper and he frowns.
"Me to but they don't really listen much. They just ask the same old questions. There not gonna be there for you always. I will. Im not going anywhere." He smiles and i hug him softly. Then I pull away, i couldnt help but to notice how thin he was.
"Thank you Arthur. Thank you for everything. Your a very kind man." I smile and hold his hand softly. "Would you like some coffee then?" I ask and he nods. I make some coffee for us then turn on my tiny radio quite for background noise as we talk.
"Hows your job been then?" I ask and he shrugs.
"Im going to a children's hospital next friday so thats gonna be fun." He laughs a little. "Before that its the usual sign spinning."
"Its must be nice. I dont necessarily feel im here to make people laugh just to make people happy. Even if i can just make one person happy i would feel my life was worth something. I don't have anyone. So maybe since were kinda friends i can make you happy?" I say and he grins.
"You make my day better every time i see you." He says and i blush slightly.
I hand him his coffee and we sit like that for 2 hours talking about life and emotions. I enjoyed being around him.

Time skip

A while after Arthur left i decided to get ready. I felt i would be safe with him so i wore a red loose dress along with red heels. I walked across the street and sat in a empty table in the back of the club drinking a soda and eating frys.
I watched as He walked on stage. He then broke out laughing. I felt bad that it would happen right now and people were giving him looks. He struggled to get the first joke out but after that it was smooth sailing. Whenever he heard me laugh his smile would grow. I hated my laugh so i would cover my mouth. Or at least try and hold it back but i couldn't.
The show ended and i went backstage and when i saw Arthur i hugged him tightly.
"You did so good! Im so proud of you." I pulled back and he looked me up and down and his face turned flush.
"Oh you look lovely Y/n." He smile and I blush slightlt.
"Thank you very much. Hey do you wanna go out for dinner maybe.. If you don-" he cuts me off
"Of course I want to." He says and i sigh happily.
He takes my hand and we walk to a small diner near by ajd have dinner. We talked about the show and he told me jokes and i would laugh. Suddenly his face turned sad and i got confused.
"What's wrong Arthur?" I ask and frown. He just looks down and pulls my hand into his.
"Why do you doubt yourself so much?" He asks and i shrug.
"No one has told me otherwize so instead i get to think of my own thoughts for myself. So maybe they arent good. It doesnt matter much anyways." I lean down to sip my Pepsi.
"It matters to me. Your a good person you shouldn't think of yourself like that."
"All I have are bad thoughts Arthur."
"I only think that way to but its not right for you. Your so sweet and you do not deserve that at all." He then pulls my hand to his mouth ans kisses my hand softly. My face turns red and he looks into my eyes just the the waiter leave the bill. We pay and walk home together. We dont say a word as we go out sperate ways. I smiled and laid in bed. I liked him very much. I just hope he stays in my life forever. I fell asleep that night and for once was happy. I didnt think this random man with his amazing laugh would cause this much happiness in my sad life.
