the royal we ~ /isaac

[Chess Lincoln]

feel the sparks of the friendly fire..

[/size][/font][/center]

Making the final arrangements to the party people started filtering into the home that i had borrowed from a friend to host this awesome halloween party. I really lost count of who was being lt in and kept seeing faces around everywhere. I was content though. Getting compliments as Harley Quinn, i felt i fit the part wonderfully. I kept my mind wavering away from saddening thoughts only to focus on fitting Harley Quinns personality, which i was complimented on entirely.

When it started to get a little hot and full in the entire house, i slipped upstairs into the outdoor balcony. Taking a seat by some people, i poured myself a small drink of the vodka on the table and listened to their conversation putting myself in there a few times, but not really focusing on the whole crowd and loud music. I guess you could say i spent much of this party learning to forget about people and learning to live.

misery inspires.

______________________

some men just want to watch the world burn.

Isaac really wasn't sure if going to Chess's halloween party was going to be a good idea. After all the things he said to her at the welcome back dinner he was half expecting her to start throwing things at him when he walked in the door. he had no plan on what he wanted to say, no words came to his head and he had no plan on how to approach her after that god awful night. But who knows - its halloween, things could turn around. As he trotted up to the house, he got a lot of looks and thumbs up on his costume, Isaac taking that as a compliment that he had done the new age joker some justice. Then again, Isaac wouldn't of had it any other way - he had the walk down, the voice down - the only thing now was to find the correct person to use it on.

Isaac knew that the house that was hosting the party wasn't Chess's, but he none the less knew how to get there. By the time he got there the house was pretty much filled, Isaac not spotting the Harley Quinn Chess up on the Balcony. He entered the party swiftly, using his joker voice to ask around for Chess. A few people giggled at him, probably because he was the Joker and Chess was Harley, though unaware to him. He eventually got an 'she's upstairs' from some girl dressed as .. he didn't even know, it was just slutty. He climbed the stairs carefully, walking into each room to see if he spotted her - but it was a more difficult task then he originally anticipated, considering everyone was in costume. Once he reached the room where the balcony was he grinned, knowing exactly which one of these people was Chess. "Oh Harley, dear," he called to her from the room, looking and sounding as much like joker as he could muster. "I need you for a second," he said, only this time in his normal Isaac voice. He was hoping to hear a 'coming mr. j!' from her, but he was expecting a more .. violent glass throwing reaction instead.

i used to be love drunk,

[/size][/font][/center]

Giggling lightly at the conversation i was stuck in, my smile faded as soon as i spotted a similar costume to mine with a dark voice. Raising my eyebrow i tilted my head slightly to him knowing immediately it was isaac. I took a deep breath and stood up, giving a wink to the ladies and guys with small bow. "I'll catch you all later, pretties." I bounded back to isaac trying to fit the part best i could until we could be secluded. Smiling slightly at him but forcefully, I nodded to him gently. "Hey Puddin'! Follow me." I said a little more seriously at the end. I stepped into the room and across the bathroom area, opening the little other side to a room that was elsewise unoticed. The perfect space for us to talk.

but now i'm hungover.

Isaac was somewhat relieved when Chess didn't chuck the glass she was holding at him. Her Harley response was appreciated, Isaac being the huge batman fan that he was only nodding to her, catching the serious tone at the end of her phrase. He merely followed her to a secluded room, Isaac surprised that there was an empty room for them to talk in - happy, but surprised. With each step Isaac was thinking about what to say to her first, how to explain what he had to say, how to get her back .. how to say I love you. This was all very scary to him, he was being sent on a roller coaster of emotions he has never felt before and he didn't know how to handle it. It seemed like they reached their destination way too quickly, Isaac standing alone with her at last, seeing her face to face for the first time with the dinner. "You look great," was all he was able to mutter at first, Isaac feeling much like a dog with it's tail between his legs. This was a drastic change in personality for him. He was open, lacking confidence and lacking words. He knew Chess saw it too - but he didn't know if it would make a difference.

They stood in silence for a moment Isaac speaking again. "Listen, I need your advice," he started, looking at her in all seriousness. "I know this guy - he's a total dickhead. He found the girl of his dreams, one of his best friends that he is just absolutely crazy about. They started messing around and stuff, and once she told him she loved him he just .. broke her heart," he said with a small shrug. "And now he's loosing sleep over her - he can't draw anything because he has no muse since she's been gone. He just can't stop thinking about her because he knows he fucked up. Big time," he stopped for a moment, rubbing the back of his neck. "So he comes to me, and asks me what he should do because all he wants is her. But I can't help him.." his voice trailed off for a moment. " because I'm in the same fucking boat," he finished, slightly embarrassed and very uncomfortable with this entire situation. He looked away from her, eyes focusing on the floor as he waited for a response.

tonights the night and it's all we need now,

[/size][/font][/center]

I said nothing to him. I wanted to hear what it was that he had to tell to me that was so important. Isaac acting this way couldn't be normal. It definitely wasn't normal at all, actually. In a way, it made me happy because he finally opened up to me, but in no way would i forgive him for what he said to me at the dinner. Well, until i heard the end of his story. "i'm in the same fucking boat." I just kept my eyes on him slowly gnawing on my lower lip playing with my lip ring. My curiosity and sudden happiness getting to me. I looked away from him exhaling quietly and forcing back a huge smile so that all that was seen was a small smile. "Isaac... i need to be honest with you. At first, i was so pissed. I still was up until now. I couldn't sleep, i've had trouble with hunger.. I felt like nothing would go right. I think you really fucked up my emotions right there. But you know, its okay.. I forgive you.. you know why?" I paused to make the tension. And i wasn't going to start talking until i had his full attention and eyes on me. And no matter how long it took until i got his eyes to see my face and the small smile i had, i looked away slightly embarrassed as well. "Because i love you. and thats what this shitty thing called love does to you."

( the end of heartache

[/b][/size] )

______________________

Isaac was quiet. He almost felt wounded, not really know what Chess was going to say or how she was going to react to his little story telling. He glanced up at her for a moment when he felt her presence move, but for the most part kept his eyes averted to something else. But then she started to speak, Isaac feeling a little bit better, but not completely. She was suffering similar symptoms - so it wasn't just him. Well, he knew that she would have been upset about all the shit he said to her that night but he didn't that she would have been anywhere near as fucked up over it as he was. He really didn't even know why he was so upset about it, he was still trying to make sense of the entire thing. But his attention at the moment was focused on Chess, the Harley to his Joker, who was asking him if he knew why she forgave him. His eyes floated back to her, he dying with anticipation to hear what she had to say.

"Because i love you. and thats what this shitty thing called love does to you."

He smiled. For the first time in about two weeks Isaac Clarke fully smiled. "you can't hide that smile from me - get over here," he told her, approaching her quickly and grabbing her around the waist to pull her into him before kissing her like he was never going to see her again. It lasted a moment, Isaac finally pulling back after the heat of the moment was over. He placed his forehead on hers and just sighed for a moment. "I really don't understand how you do it - make me feel the way I do. I swear to god you're some .. strange finnish magician," he said, grinning down at her the entire time. Swallowing, Isaac had made her wait long enough, right?

"I love you too - that's what I'm suppose to say, right?" he gave her teasing grin. The words still felt strange coming from his lips, Isaac making a strange .. motion with his mouth after saying it. This was going to take some getting use to.

love is just a chemical creation,

[/size][/font][/center]

I could tell that what i said changed Isaacs mood completely. I felt almost wonderous at that moment. So very magical, that i could change a mood like that. My smile slightly growing bigger but until he smiled did i finally smile with true happiness. As he grabbed me and pulled me close to him and kissing him so amazingly with the right moment of passion, i was so content. I missed him and i missed every little thing that he did. He pulled away and i pulled back slightly too, to allow my bright green gaze to look up to him with finally a smile. "I really dont understand how you do it - make me feel the way i do. I swear to god, you're somestrange finnish magician." I laughed slightly beore shrugging. "my dear, you make me feel like no one else has ever. So as far as i'm concerned, we both are magicians." I said softly. Time passing by slowly as it seemed. i gently moved my hands up around his neck locking them there so i could stay close to him.

"I love you too.. thats what i'm supposed to say, right?" I almost died with happiness. I pulled him close to me and nuzzled my head right above his shoulder and by his neck. "you have no idea how amazing that was to hear it come from you.... the boy who doesn't know what love is. i don't know about you, but i've found my definition of love. its you." I said softly. Knowing just how cheesy it would be in any other situation. This one was fine though. it didn't really seem cheesy at all.

will it be perminent?

______________________

So this was it. In a moment of realization all Isaac Clarke could do was stare at Chess with a small smile on his face as he realized the fact that this was true love. This is what he had been searching for his entire life - it took him 22 years, and it almost completely fucked it up but he finally found her. Her touch on his neck, her body so close to his it was like he was on cloud nine. He never wanted to loose this feeling, the butterflies in his stomach and the longing for her to be with him always. He didn't say anything to her comments at first, just watched with loving eyes, his hand bentley brushing the side of her cheek before resting underneath her jaw line. "I never imagined it being anything like this ..." he said softly, his eyes looking from her lips to her eyes a few times, he longing to kiss her again. He never wanted to stop, but he knew that they eventually had to come up for air. "It's like when I'm with you times completely stops. Nothing else matters but you .. and me," Isaac said, that small smile still creeping at the corner of his lips. "You've done this before, is it suppose to be like that?" he questioned, a small laugh passing by his lips as he did so. She was the experienced one in this scenario, not him.

He let his hand fall back down to her waist, Isaac making sure that she was still closely pressed against his body. A devilish grin came across his face. "This means you're my girlfriend now," he snickered, wanting the world to know that Chess Lincoln was his and no one else's. He was very old school in this aspect, Isaac removing his hands from Chess's waist once more and pulling his hands up to his chest, removing his high school class finger from his index finger. "People need to know that you are not up for grabs, or I'll have to break some bones," he said, protective nature kicking in as he held the ring up for her, wanting her to take it. In a rather dramatic tone to complete the 50s style of dating, Isaac spoke "Chess Lincoln, will you go steady with me?" he said with a small laugh, unable to keep himself from smiling.

This was the happiest moment of his life.

It didnt take long before the excitement and happiness that was overcoming Isaac would soon rub off on me. I couldn't help but to grin at the boy that stood in front of me, with his touch on my cheek. His voice exactly like soothing water pouring from ear to ear and engulfing my mind in sweet serene tendencies. "I never imagined it being anything like this." I shrugged lightly knowing that it could be the most wonderful thing in the world. "It's wonderful, isnt it?" I said softly with a gentle smile on my lips, returning his kisses before oxygen was needed. "Its like, when i'm with you time completely stops. Nothing else matters but you.. and me. You've done this before, is it supposed to be like that?" I smiled to him gently and tilted my head to him before inhaling slightly. "Truth is, half of this is new for me too. I never got this whole feeling like i have from you. But as far as i know, yes.. It's supposed to be like nothing else could be better. Like that phrase that adornes teenage girls bedrooms, 'you know you're in love when reality is better than your dreams.' I think it fits." I spoke gently. My Finnish accent dripping from my lips with a content flow.

I reached my arms up gently and wrapped them around his neck, gently letting my gaze reside on his face before i saw his little devilish smile appear. My gentle smile quickly shiften to a mischevious one with curiosity. "This means you're my girlfriend now. People need to know that you are not up for grabs, or i'll have to break some bones." I laughed slightly and nodded, moving my arms from his neck to his shoulders and gently along his arms slightly while still listening to him. "Chess Lincoln, ill you go steady with me?" I didn't even hesitate. Instantly, i nodded and smiled brightly to him. "Of course, love. I'd be honored to." I pulled my left hand back a bit to allow him to put the ring on. There wasn't any way in the world that i could keep this smile of happiness from disappearing from my face.

to say something that could change their life forever.

______________________

Listening to what Chess has to say Isaac was relieved that it wasn't just him who was feeling like this for the first time - he would have felt like a 'noob' as the word goes. He grinned a bit to Chess before responding "I'm happy it's your first time too," he teased lightly, making it a sexu al innuendo, like usual. The thought crossing his mind, Isaac definitely wanted Chess to spend the night with him tonight, though he realized that she probably would have to stay here to clean up the mess that is left over from the party. The thought of cleaning up after all these disgusting people agitated Isaac, but he would stay and help her. Anything to stay with her for the night, and anything that could make her life easier. "I'm guessing you're going to be here tonight, right?"

[/color] he questioned, wanting to be sure he was prepared to wherever he had to stay tonight. "you're stuck with me for the night, just so you know."

He was glad to see Chess answer his question with the answer he was looking for, he not really having a doubt in his mind. He slipped the ring onto her finger, noting that it was a little bit bigger then her fingers. "Feel free to wear it around a necklace if it's too big," he commented, kissing her again when she ring was safely placed on her finger. There wasn't a second in-between the transaction, Isaac generally good in these kinds of situations as he brought his face to hers, his hands grabbing the sides of her face to deepen the kiss. He could have kissed her for the rest of his days. Isaac started to walk, pushing Chess back as he continued to kiss her, pinning her to the wall that was located behind her. He smiled as he did so, almost tripping over his own two feet in the process. Once having her to the wall he leaned his body against hers, his hands falling back down to her waist, the kissing never sieving to stop.

He eventually let the two come up for air after a few minutes, Isaac getting his daily dose of Chess Lovin' that he was craving. He grinned a bit after, licking his lips and pressing his forehead to hers. "C'mon, babe," he said, no longer leaning on her up against the wall. His hands left her hips, one trailing to her hand and taking it in his. "I want the world to know you're mine," he said, gesturing for her to come with him back out into the party.

it felt like a good night,

[/size][/font][/center]

I raised my eyebrow playfully at his words and made me laugh. Oh what an interesting personality this boy had. Though, i couldnt complain. He was the perfect compromise to my very own personality. I nodded to his next set of words and shrugged. "Yeah. Not too excited about it, but at least i know we'll be the talk of the town for the next few days because of everything." I let a small laugh escape before smiling. "I wouldn't call it being 'stuck' with you for the night. I want to be with you, silly." I poked my tongue out at him for a mere second before smiling at the way his ring fit me. I could easily shift it to a necklace later but for right now, it would stay on my hand. "Its wonderful, my love." I smiled to him before he kissed me. i returned the kiss just as deep and passionate this time than it had really ever been, so it felt like.

Following his lead, i had no problem where he would move me to. But we easily ended up to the wall, which made me feel both happy and content. Yet, finally i could breathe. With his forehead against mine, i kissed his nose softly before smiling bright and wide to him while he pulled away slightly to take my hand in his. "I want the world to know you're mine." I nodded to him. 'We'll show the world." I nodded lightly. "Right, Mr. J?" I shot a wink to him, getting back into the whole character of things before we returned to the party.

______________________

Prepared to return back into the party, Isaac needed to get back into the swing of things. He sighed a bit, wanting to make sure he stayed in character with his new found Harley Quinn. He grinned at her, admiring the fact she was able to keep up the act so well. "I got this," he said, clearing his throat before testing out his joker voice on Chess really quick. He worked hard on it, the voice not really easy to get down. "And I thought my jokes were bad,"

[/color] he said perfectly before a grin spread across his face. "Good?" he asked for chess approval before leading her back out into the party.

Once the exited the private room they were in al eyes were on the two. He knew it was because of Chess, all the people that were there were her friends after all. Chances are some of them knew about the two as well, which made this all the better. Hand in hand, Isaac's yes wondered from person to person who was watching, he deciding to play up his Joker costume. He approached one girl, who was looking rather .. un-entertained. He broke away from Chess for only a moment, needing to put the full affect onto the character. "why so serious?" he asked, his face not far from hers. He was dangerously close, just as the joker would have been, his hands making motions around her face, he making sure to make her as uncomfortable as possible. He stood there for a moment after saying what he had said, before turning his back to her and letting out his best joker intimidation laugh, grabbing Chess's hands again. "Come on, Harley. Dent is here somewhere..." he murmured to her, flashing her a devilish grin. [/justify][/blockquote][/size][/blockquote]______________________

Nodding to him as his impression of the wonderous Joker took hold of the party. Walking back into the group of things, the eyes were on us. i stuck a small smile on my face before watching the joker go up to a girl who seemed entirely bored and uncomfortable the more the Joker acted his part. It seemed almost real, honestly. Everything seemed right. I sat back and allowed him to do what he did, pulling out a small brush with some face powder and applied it lightly before the lipstick. I didnt need to, but i did it anyway to see if someone would join in on the fun. Finally a friend of mine from the tattoo shop watched me and looked to me. "Oh, come on Harley. lay off the makeup." my gaze turned to him before letting a small laugh escape as i shut the powder and stuck everything back into place. "You dont understand... you see, my boss likes me to wear a smile everywhere i go." Shooting a smirk his way, i looked back to Isaac, better off known as the Joker, as he returned to me and grasped my hands. "Come on, Harley, Dent is here somewhere." Nodding, smiled to him eagerly. Letting go of his hand momentarily, i made a circle around him to catch everyones attention. All eyes were on us and having good fun with the reality of the party.

Clearing my throat, i smiled wide. "Its Late Night Gotham Live, and here's the man who puts a smile on your face whether you want it or not, the Joker!" i stepped to the side of him and clapped gently, all of my friends and even some people i didnt know joined in with the fun. This balcony was just full of fun as of the moment.

______________________

Isaac heard Chess get 'into character' as much as he was, and he loved it. Currently these two were the life of the party, which made them actually being together all the better. Harley Quinn and Joker : the perfect, most dysfunctional couple ever. Lets face it folks, Chess and Isaac were pretty dysfunctional for a while. Hand in hand Isaac was not pleased when her hand was pulled away from his for a moment, but knew it was all in good fun. Everyone's eye were on them, and even though Isaac hates being the center of attention he had to admit, it was pretty stellar. More or so because it was obvious to a lot of people that they had finally made their relationship official, and Isaac wanted everyone to know. He followed her onto the balcony, which she gave a wonderful introduction. He heard some people clapping along, playing along with the entire thing. Hey, it had to be somewhat entertaining.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We are tonight's entertainment! I only have one question. Where is Harvey Dent? "

[/color]he started, walking around with his joker swagger and awkward motions, The twitching, the moving of the mouth and licking of his lips. No one answered, so he continued. He walked up to one of the guys from the tattoo shop that he recognized, grabbing his face. "You know where Harvey is? You know who he is?[/color] he asked aggressively, before letting go and moving onward, walking around the room for a moment before walking up to someone else. "You know where I can find Harvey? I need to talk to him about something. Just something, a little ... no?" he walked over, turning around to see Chess, AKA Harley. The next part planned was, of course not from the movie, but then again neither was Harley Quinn (a blasphemy, in Isaac's opinion). "Harley dear, I thought you said he was going to be here,"[/color] he said, slight annoyance coming to the end of his voice as he heard a few giggles coming from behind him. He shot Chess a grin, happy that everyone was enjoying the show.

"Well?"[/color] he asked, approaching Chess slowly, as if he was mad.[/justify][/blockquote][/size][/blockquote]______________________

I shot glances across the crowd as my Joker went along playing his part. I returned to watching him before he turned to face me and brought me into the whole game of things. "Harley dear, I thought you said he was going to be here.. well?" I let a small amount of confusion cross over my face before i looked around a little more. "He said he was going to, Mr. J. You believe me, don't ya?" I paused to take a step back from him sort of into the crowd. My eyes dancing across the crowd once more. "I bet you that Batman got to him. I'll figure it out.." I said a little more worried. Trying my hardest to lose this Finnish accent for a more... Harleyish accent. It worked wonderfully.

I bit down on my lower lip for a few seconds before getting a small signal from my friend from the tattoo shop that said he would dress along with the whole batman theme i was going with. Up came good old Harvey Dent. I turned to look at My Joker and offered him a gentle nervous smile. "I told ya he'd be here, Puddin."
