Please interact with the chapters. I don't know how many times I've said this in my writing career. It's exhausting and I don't understand it. My account is a safe space I don't allow anyone to get bullied or harassed. That I completely understand as a reason to skip commenting. But other...

I don't want to seem greedy or fame hungry or whatever, if you see me as that then im sorry you feel that way, this was not my intention, I don't ask for likes or reads, I ask for you to give me feedback, because I'm a insanely self critical person and even though "Yeah, you say you write for yourself or not for fame why do you ask for comments", it's simple: it's so motivating and I love to interact with you, have fun reading your comments and seeing the same enjoyment I'm feeling when I'm writing. Whenever I lash out about it, it's mainly because I'm frustrated, I don't intend to be rude.

So yeah, please continue to comment, I don't want my motivation to drop, I only want to receive little comments because then I feel like you're enjoying the chapters too.

Thank you for sticking around, and hopefully understanding my point of view, I purple you<3

"I'll give you two options, little darling. First, you free him and I won't come after your unfortunately way too gorgeous ass and you wreak havoc on your own", Jungkook started, dark eyes fixed on Taehyung. The smaller couldn't identify the glint in the Joker's eyes. But being alone, without Jungkook seemed like such a dull option now. Taehyung was in way too deep already.

"Or second, you, pretty pretty pretty boy, shoot your ex-boyfriend! You can shoot him anywhere, I don't care, but when you do, you will become mine and there's no turning back."

Jungkook pouted falsely for the effect. Jimin protested but he choked on his own blood partly clogging his throat and he coughed loudly while the Joker shortly beamed down to him before his predatory eyes fixed themselves on Taehyung again. Taehyung who was frozen in his spot, staring at the man he used to love and at the man he might love.

"Once you decide for the second option, you cannot run from me. Or I have to hunt you down and impale you on my cock", the Joker giggled, opening his arms widely and letting go of Jimin.

Jimin stared at Taehyung, a silent question in his eyes. Taehyung had to look away as it felt like Jimin had taken all the air to breathe. He couldn't trust the tied up man anymore. Jimin had lied to him about everything, about why they broke up. Still, was that enough reason for Taehyung to shoot Jimin?

"So, what's your choice? Choose choose choose! The Joker's an impatient man!"

Taehyung looked down at the gun, his fingers pale against the black steel. He dared to lift his head, facing Jimin. Jimin who looked so betrayed, it broke Taehyung's heart. There was no turning back for him anyways, he realized. Jungkook had given him an option but deep down, Taehyung knew there was nothing left.

He had already destroyed his chance for a normal life by sleeping in the Joker's bed. By wishing to escape his fucked up life and killing the two people who brought him into this world. His own brother had erased that chance for a normal life and that slim glimpse he had gotten, had been a lie. It had been fake. Taehyung had been fake.

Jimin wouldn't take him back. If he were to know the truth about Taehyung he would hunt him too. Because Taehyung... he wasn't innocent. He killed two people. And he wanted to do it again. He wanted to make Minho pay.

He was fucked up too, he wasn't Jimin's innocent Sweetheart. He never was. The boy Jimin believed to love had never existed.

And Taehyung knew damn well Jimin wouldn't love him at his worst. But Jungkook did. And for that, Taehyung's decision was set.

A gun shot sounded through the Joker's fun house and Jimin's eyes rolled back, from shock and from pain caused by the severe blood loss when he was shot in his shoulder by the one he swore to love through darkness and light. But it seemed like the darkness had already consumed Taehyung. Further than Jimin was aware of.

Jungkook gasped happily, clapping his hands.

"Would've preferred his dick to be shot since it's been inside you, but I'm up for compromises!"

Jungkook rounded Jimin's chair, snapping his fingers for one of his subordinates to take Jimin away and treat his wounds. The Joker was far from done yet with the Batman, he didn't want to kill him just now.

He had only tried to prove a point, testing Taehyung's loyalty.

"Looks like you deserve a treat, hm Darling?"

°°°

Jungkook had played all of his cards right. Taehyung was dependent of him. He was Jungkook's, only his, with no chance to never leave the dark-haired. Just like Jungkook had planned, faking to give the boy an option in order for Taehyung to have the feeling he had a choice. A choice that would've ended in choosing Jungkook, one way or another.

Because the Joker was already way too deep in his obsessive love for Taehyung to even consider letting the man of his dreams leave. It was such a lucky take Taehyung was even more fucked up than Jungkook had first expected. Taehyung was like him and Jungkook would happily show him how fun it was to live up to your madness.

Not only during the night but Jungkook would show him how to enjoy insanity when everyone was awake, not only during the hours where the sun was hidden by darkness, where no one would judge.

These times were over. It was now time to present Taehyung to the world as the Joker's equal, as his Queen.

°°°

Jungkook pressed kisses to Taehyung's jaw, sucking bruises into the pretty honey skin. The grey-haired squirmed in the feverish hot grip, moaning softly while he gripped Jungkook's hair.

"Did so well, my Darling. Knew you could do it", the Joker mumbled against Taehyung's skin, licking a long stripe over the tanned skin while his other hand sneaked under Taehyung's shirt, caressing his waist with possessive, rough fingers. But Taehyung's mind wandered to Jimin, his guilt intensifying once it sunk in what he just did.

Taehyung's eyes filled with tears as they wandered over to Jimin's bent frame. "D-Did I kill him?", he whispered, broken eyes staring at his ex-boyfriend. All of the time spent together... it had all been in vain.

None of it was real, Jimin hadn't been the true version of himself and Taehyung hadn't been either. The thought alone broke his heart.

But Jungkook's lingering touch brought Taehyung back into reality, made him focus on the man hovering over his smaller frame, with one hand already on its way down Taehyung's pants while the other was tugging on the hem of Taehyung's shirt, clearly indicating what the Joker was attempting to do.

Suddenly, it all felt too much for Taehyung, he couldn't handle it right now, he felt like he couldn't breathe, needed a moment to process what happened, what he did and Jungkook was too much right now, too close, too invasive, Taehyung couldn't take it.

So the grey-haired pushed Jungkook away, a wild look on his face before crumbling, slapping the Joker's hands away who growled when he was denied the touch he craved for so badly.

"Stop it! Fucking- let me breathe for a second!" Taehyung yelled, creating distance between the two of them and yanking his shirt down. He stumbled a few steps away, tugging on his hair and turning away from Jungkook.

"I've had NO time to adjust to all of this! I need to think, I need to- God, do you realize I just shot someone? I shot someone for you, Jungkook and you act like it's nothing!" Taehyung turned around to face a heaving Joker whose dark eyes fixated Taehyung, careful.

He did not try to initiate any sexual touch again, keeping his distance from the trembling male who seemed so close to a breakdown, to a panic attack. And Jungkook surprisingly realized how much he hated the thought of seeing Taehyung like this. Yet he had to make his darling boy understand his ways.

"Because it is nothing!! It only means you're willing to shoot someone. For me."

Taehyung shook his head, tears now freely running down his cheeks yet he didn't wipe them away, showing Jungkook the helpless fury he was experiencing.

"No. It means I just lost the last bit of my sanity and I did it all to myself."

Jungkook scoffed, turning his head away and poking his inner cheek with his tongue. Arms came down to smack against his narrow hips in the exclamation of disbelief before accusingly pointing at Taehyung.

"What's so wrong about losing your sanity?! You're free, Taehyung! Let it go, don't give a shit about the normal boring people", he exclaimed heatedly, narrowing his eyes at Taehyung. He wanted all of Taehyung, without any exceptions. And the Joker was horrible in sharing.

Jungkook approached him, taking Taehyung's head in his large, rough palms.

"Only care about me."

A thumb came to rest on Taehyung's bottom lip but the smaller freed himself, once more. The grey-haired was far in his headspace to care for the perilous glint in the Joker's eyes, the warning snarl forming on his face.

What would he do anyways? Taehyung was fucked up anyways.

"And what about you? How do I know you won't discard me once you're bored and done with me? If you suggest a relationship, that shit goes both ways." Taehyung accused Jungkook with equal fire, feeling sick and finally understanding the emotion. He was far in too deep with the Joker now, if he were to discard him, Taehyung would be left with nothing. He wanted to make sure the Joker was on the same page.

It was Jungkook's turn to respond, a laugh of disbelief leaving red bitten lips before he leaned close to Taehyung, tall height easily making him hover over the petit male who stared up to him defiantly, not breaking eye contact. It made the Joker feel proud but also fire up his anger. How dare he, assume things about him, the Joker, when Taehyung hadn't seen the length he went through in order for Jungkook to have Taehyung?

"What about me? Me me me who searched for you all over the city, found you and captured you, made you mine and took you to Arkham so we could be together? Me who freed you, who gave you the chance to break out from the horrors that painted you, me who'll give you a chance to male anyone pay? Darling, you have your answer in my actions, not in my words."

The Joker leaned closer, lips fanning over Taehyung's and all anger seemed to flee from the grey-haired who sunk willingly in his embrace now, releasing a shuddered breath. His heart was beating fast. Jimin was forgotten, because Taehyung only had eyes for Jungkook.

Said man rested his forehead against Taehyung's, long fingers reaching for his jaw.

"And my actions speak clearly of my intentions for you, for us. You're mine. And, if you want, I can be yours." The Joker's voice was rough on the edges, filled with emotion. He hated baring himself to anyone but he sensed that if he didn't do it now, he would lose Taehyung. And Jungkook wouldn't have that.

"Only mine?" Taehyung's voice was small, unsure. Doubting Jungkook. It left the Joker furious but for different reasons. He wanted Taehyung to trust him. So Jungkook could feel what it was like to have a person trusting him completely. And he in return could learn to trust Taehyung.

"Always and forever, Darling. You're right, it goes both ways. I shouldn't have assumed you understood when my world is so new to you innocent lamb. But don't worry, my Darling boy."

Jungkook smiled, a sweet, crooked smile as he pressed a kiss to Taehyung's wet cheek.

"We'll conquer that world together."

Quick reminder: Taehyung in this story is no saint. He is an abuse victim with a horrible family, but to himself, he's already lost. Please keep that in mind, try to understand his position and his actions will seem comprehensible.
