Harley hummed ; his gaze briefly looking away as if he was trying to come to a difficult decision . When his eyes returned to meet the otherโs , he answered with a smile .
โ If youโre gonna buy me a drink , do I at least get to know your name .แฃ โ
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
A mischievous grin. โYouโll have the Cheshire Cat then. Itโs sweet and powerful. Itโll have you stumbling after two. Iโll have two delivered up to us. How does that sound?โ
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
Harley pondered over the plethora of options he was sure the man had at his disposal . Of course he wanted the best of the best .
โ How about the most expensive drink on the menu .แฃ Something ๐๐๐๐๐ . โ
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
The motion brought up fond memories of a lover once lost. For a moment, he froze in place. Heavy breathing before brims pursed and they found their way to speaking again. โWhat do you want?โ He asked.
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
Harleyโs body stiffened for a moment as he felt the pad of the manโs thumb gently graze against his lip . The sensation brought back a swirl of emotions that he had thought been repressed ; buried beneath all of the baggage his ex-lover had left on the way out .
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
Watching every move that they make. Cautious. Always careful. โMaybe I can take you to them.โ A thumb reaching out to stoke the perfect pout. A gently and brief gesture. Careful to mind his touch around him.
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
Dark hues glanced down as Harley saw the bloodstains adorning the manโs collared shirt . He hadnโt noticed it before , though the strangerโs response was enough for him to piece it together .
His eyes narrowed momentarily before the vigilante hopped off of the manโs desk .
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
Undoing his tie, leaning back. โSo you admit that you find me handsome?โ Thats a start. For a moment he has almost thought they were focused on the topic at hand, but he guessed wrong this time.
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
โ Of course I think youโre handsome . โ
Harley hummed and stepped forward ; entering the space between the strangerโs legs . He could sense the guards moving behind him , but paid no mind .
This was all a game to him . It was always a game .
feet in amusement .
โ See , I wanna find this fella and I wanna kill him .แ I might feed his body parts to Bud nโ Lou , after Iโm finished with โem . โ
Harley could feel his upper lip twitch in annoyance ; his muscles tightening momentarily as his emotions flared . Though as quickly as his agitation had washed over him , it seemed to dispel as the vigilante began to laugh .
โ Thatโs none of your business , handsome . โ
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
Boy, that struck a nerve. Apparently an infected one. Leaning over. โSo what I heard is youโre not taken.โ Why is he thinking of that at a time like this? โYou have a reputation. Iโm just going off of it.โ
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
Flashing the man a smitten smile , Harleyโs expression was anything but ( happy ) . It was almost . . . eerie .
โ A reputation , huh .แฃ So then you must be curious why Iโm looking for that man . โ
Curling his hands around the rim of the desk , Harley began to swing his
several pieces .
โ Heโs ๐๐๐ my boyfriend . โ
Turning his body around to face him but remaining situated on the desk , Harley glared with growing agitation .
Upon the mention of ( boyfriend ) , the jesterโs demeanor changed . Gone was the expression of lackadaisical amusement . Instead Harleyโs expressionless facade slowly looked upon the other ; slamming the stapler down on the manโs desk , which caused it to break in
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
Thrasher? Now he certainly hadnโt heard of that name. Knuckles clutching the edge of his desk until theyโre bleach white and itโs because his patience is running slightly thin. Heโs not known to have much.
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
โ Iโm looking for someone . Goes by the name Thrasher . He owes me something . Last I heard he was here in your little abode . โ
Harley chose his words carefully ; not sure if he could trust the man with such pertinent information .
โ You seen him .แฃ โ
The corner of Harleyโs lips curled into a smirk at the plethora of compliments laced within the sarcasm of the strangerโs tone .
He clicked his tongue as his palms moved to rest on the manโs desk . His eyes bore into the otherโs visage ; not hiding the fact that he was admiring
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
When they did enter, they made a show of it, as he suspected they would. Eyes laid upon the other man and visage held contact with the gaze of the other. A predator should never avert their gaze with another.
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
๏ธ๏ธ ๏ธ๏ธ
retrieve the stapler that was situated amongst the other contents on the desk surface .
โ I take it you know who I am , or you wouldnโt have sent your goons after me . โ
Harley glanced over at the bodyguards and gave them a playful wave with his free hand .
