A Surprise Visit. With neverontime

[olliequeen]

Oliver made his way into Bruce Wayne's living room. He wasn't surprised that Bruce wasn't there because Bruce hadn't been expecting him. Of course, he would have been late anyway. Because he was, after all, Bruce Wayne.

He made himself comfortable on the sofa, folding his arms behind his head, a smirk on his face as he waited for his old friend to show up.

"My wit is lost on the common folk," he bemoaned. The glass in his head still had some liquor in it, but he was finding himself a little light headed.

Whatever.

He finished the glass and set it down. He wasn't going to drink anymore. Unless Ollie did.

"But seriously, Ollie. She's a good girl. Too good for you. Don't let her get away." He paused in reflection before continuing, the smile gone from his face. "I can count on one hand the amount of women who would have the balls to throw a glass at some crazed psycho's head, no matter that it was obviously very dangerous." He motioned to Ollie's stomach. "Are you okay? I meant to ask you sooner, but I didn't have a chance to."

Oliver grimaced at the mention of the lunatic that had slashed him across the stomach and the arm. And at the mention of Chloe's glass-throwing. "I'm fine," he told him with a slight nod.

"And you're right. She's definitely too good for me." He smiled faintly, acknowledging Bruce's words with a slight nod. "But I have no intention of letting her get away, believe me."

His curiousity was piqued. "Oh? And what are you going to do to make sure that doesn't happen?"

He paused for a moment, looking at Bruce seriously. "Can you keep a secret?"

Bruce let out a laugh before he could help himself. Clearing his throat, he simply nodded.

He didn't question the laugh. Bruce had always had a bit of a strange sense of humor. "When the time's right, I'm going to ask her to marry me." His voice was quiet. It had been something he'd realized weeks ago, but it had been too soon to ask. It was still too soon to ask. "If she'll say yes..." He shrugged a little.

"The woman attacked a man who kills puppies and throws their bodies into elementary schools," Bruce said flatly. He'd been researching a bit more into this Joker person, and by all accounts, he was psychopathic. "She'll say yes."

Narrowing his eyes a little, he gave his friend a deadly stare. "You better be serious about this though. No changing your mind, nothing. I'm not saying you don't love her, I'm just playing Devil's advocate her. There can't be any secrets or anything."

Oliver stared at him with a horrified expression. The lunatic killed puppies and left their bodies for kids to find? He wondered if the guy had already graduated to killing people or if that was just next on his list.

He met Bruce's eyes and held his gaze. "I won't be changing my mind, Bruce. And Chloe knows everything there is to know about me already."
