Make your move, Jervis!

Jervis and Jonathan are rarely ever seen with any of the other rogues. The two always sit at the same table, with the same chess board, and the same attitudes. Jervis finds himself realizing he has feelings for the fellow rogue. (they're too intelligent for the others, Jervis being a little cornball, they're Harley's dads, slightly ooc)

"I do hope all is well with our beloved Harlequin." The soft english accent of Tetch spoke to the slim man across the table. Who merely scoffed as a response, shaking his head as he moved his knight forward. "Knowing she's with that green-haired buffoon, it's highly unlikely."

Jonathan's face was always set into some form of scowl or frown, but it seemed to deepen at the thought of Harley getting put in harms way. His green-grey eyes meet Jervis' icy blue ones, giving a small nod towards the board to signal the shorter man to make his move. Jervis caught that familiar feeling of butterflies in his stomach when their eyes met, the same one he would get when looking at Alice before everything went down. The Hatter composes himself with a small clearing of his throat, his signature smile returning as he moves his bishop.

"Just make your move, Jervis! You'll do great!" Harley beams, clutching onto Jervis' upper arm in the courtyard of the asylum, both of them stood in front of the fence that prevented any escape. His brows furrow, but he smiles at the bubbly woman anyway. "You're absolutely certain something good will come out of it...?" "Yep! I can tell!"

He had to say something eventually. It wouldn't do any good if he kept quiet about his attraction to his dear friend, would it? He hadn't even noticed it had been his turn for two minutes, until Jonathan spoke up, snapping his fingers to get Jervis' attention. "Make your move, Jervis."

"I've grown rather...fond of you, Jonathan." He states, carelessly moving a pawn to get his turn over with. Locking gazes with Jonathan and trying to make it obvious as to what he was saying. Luckily for him, Jonathan managed to get exactly what he was saying, giving a small smirk towards the englishman.

He's dragged out of his thoughts, looking down at the board to try and make a good move. His brows furrow faintly at the sight, Jonathan had the upper hand, and would most likely beat him in this game. Jervis was usually the best of the best when it came to playing, but his thinking had distracted him, and he made bad moves. Though, that sentence reminded him of what him and Harley had talked about yet again. He had to. He had to get this over with, but how?

Jonathan probably wouldn't like something emotional, he wasn't that kind of man. Maybe something simple and straight to the point. They have been friends for a year or two in their career of being madmen, so he shouldn't respond too negatively if he doesn't reciprocate Jervis' feelings. It wouldn't necessarily be wrong to continue to admire him quietly- No, Harley said to make his move, and he was going to.

"The feeling is mutual." Oh thank the heavens.

Across the hall.

BtAS Edward and Rogue! reader are the only two people left awake in the cell block of Arkham. They reluctantly figure out a way to pass the time while waiting for sleep to find them. Maybe they haven't been too nice to each other every other day. (slightly ooc Riddler, reader is the most normal rogue out of all of them, frenemies)

"How about this one? What has a head and tail, but no body?" Edward's voice cuts the silence of the slight pause that had come between you. Another riddle to pass the time for the two of you insomniacs. Even if you didn't like him, you were playing along. "A coin? ...Could be a snake if we're going for answers that kind of count." Your voice mutters just loud enough for the redhead in the cell across from you to hear, and he chuckles at your statement. Replying in that voice that usually had you clenching your jaw every other day. "A coin is the correct answer. Although I suppose a snake could somewhat count if you wanted to be funny." You can hear his fingers begin drumming against the steel frame of his cot that was bolted to the floor. And for once, you don't mind it.

You hadn't had anyone to talk to the hour before this because Harley had finally fallen asleep. Honestly you thought everyone was asleep for the night until Edward had asked a riddle out of nowhere. He actually startled you a good bit, but you appreciated the little bit of a conversation that was taking place right now.

"How about you have a go?" His voice makes it obvious he's smiling in the darkness of his cell in front of you, and you almost laugh. You hum in thought, trying to find one that's a little difficult. Snapping your fingers when you remember one Jervis had mentioned a few days prior. "Why is a raven like a writing desk?"

Edward chuckles at your words just loud enough for you to hear, the noise traveling through the cell hall. Movement catches your eye and you look up, making eye contact with the man now leaning against the glass barrier that prevented him from leaving (most of the time anyway). You raise a brow, mirroring his stance across the way. A small smirk graces your features, and his only gets wider when he sees it. His arms cross, drumming the fingers of his left hand onto his upper right arm.

"Ah, but there is no definite answer to that one. So I suppose you've bested me just once. ...Even if you stole that one from our dear friend Jervis." He sighs in faux disappointment over your little 'victory', giving a playful pout. You laugh at his acting, sliding down the glass to sit on the cool floor of your cell. "It's called using my resources, Ed. But, how does it feel to be beaten by me?"

"Not too bad, but only because I outsmart you in every other category."

YAPPING

My posts that I make out of the blue will usually take place in a modern version of BTAS and 04

Most of the requests I write about, when I do get them, will all have the reader as a rogue (unless specified)

I will always try to make the reader gender neutral and not refer to them as "Y/n" or "Name". Obviously unless specified for the gender.

Most of the time the posts I make will be random ones I think up on the spot. So they will be short and quick, unless anyone wants more.

I will write for literally any BTAS and 04 character. Unless they only have one appearance, or never any major roles ifykwim (Even Bullock, I love that nasty guy...)

!!!RULES!!!

NOTHING INCLUDING R*PE, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, P*DOPHILIA, INC*ST, B*ASTIALITY/Z**PHILIA, OR GORE!!! I WILL NOT DO DARKFICS. EVER.

I will not write for OC's/Self-inserts I'm sorry.

Request limits do not exist, but if you send the same thing repetitively because I haven't gotten to it, I will not be doing it and you'll get blocked.
