I felt hands hitting on my sides and a after a few more mere seconds, my eyelids fluttered open in fright and sat up in bed, wide-awake as I blocked another punch which was directed for my stomach.

I gulped, blinking rapidly as I looked beside me, already expecting what I would see.

"No!" Puddin' shouted, his hands reaching out as he moved around in the bed wildly. As if it was a regular thing, I held his wrists, controlling him as I straddled him. My heart broke at the sight of hot tears flowing down his cheeks and I leaned forward, feeling him relax as I called his name. His chest was breathing up and down. A sheen of sweat was clear on his forehead as his shouting slowly subsided.

I reached forward, letting my lips graze his forehead as I let go of his hands.

"You had another nightmare puddin'." I whispered against his forehead and his arms circled around my waist, keeping me close as if he would die without me.

"I'm here. I'm here." I whispered and looked down to his eyes. I felt a tinge of pain surge through my heart as silent tears flowed down his eyes.

"You were gone." His voice was raspy and weak. "I needed you. I needed you so much."

His words made me realise that his nightmare was of the time when I had been caught by batman to be put in Belle Reve prison.

I rolled off of him, grabbing the glass of water from the bed-side table and held it towards him, wiping his tears away as he drank the water greedily. "I missed you too."

"You don't know how it felt like-"

"I know how it felt like!" I countered back, not believing what he said as tears brimmed my eyes. "It was hell without ya. Atleast you knew I was alive when I was away but I thought y-you were d-dead."

His whole body stiffened at my sudden outburst and he pulled me towards his lap as I straddled him, laying my head on his shoulder. He buried his face in my hair, as he stroked my hair assuringly. I completely broke down, thinking of my time in the prison where I would go violent because I had thought he was gone forever.

"I can't live without you, ya know." I weakly muttered as I continued crying.

"I am so sorry babe."

"You should be fucking sorry!" I shouted, crying heavily before my voice went weak, "It hurt a lot."

"I'm sorry." He muttered into my ear and I continued crying as I held onto his body for dear life, feeling absolutely weak and vulnerable. "I'm sorry."

Tears flowed down heavily as I clutched onto his shoulder, my lips quivering for air as hiccups left my mouth.

He pulled my head from his shoulder, his tears were long gone but his eyes held guiltiness and pain. I cried even more at the sight of that as he held my head, resting my forehead on his. He started whispering sweet things, how he would take care of me, how he would never let me go, how much he needed me, how much he showed his real self to me, how much he missed me and how important and special I am.

I sniffed, wiping my hand across my probably red nose as my tears officially stopped.

"I hate ya." I muttered under my breath, whacking his shoulder weakly, to let him know how he had destroyed me when I had thought that he died. A small laugh left his lips as he held me close.

"Okay." He replied and my lips curved into a faint smile.

"I want ice-cream." I muttered weakly and a louder laugh leaving his mouth.

"Come on." He gave me a soft peck on my forehead and grabbed me by my waist as he pulled me over his shoulder, my legs dangling off his shoulder and my face in contact with his back. "Let's get ya ice-cream then."

I started whacking my hand on his muscular back as I tried to ignore the way his muscles flexed as he walked down to the kitchen.

"Let me down puddin'!" I yelled, whacking his back again. For some reason, he seemed immune to my kicks and punches and it annoyed me a little. His laughter echoed around the walls before he threw me down on the sofa, outside the kitchen.

"What flavour do ya want?" He asked, scratching the back of his neck cutely as he stretched his muscular arms. I controlled my eyes from goggling at his well-built body but it was too hard when he was standing shirtless in front of me with his husky sleepy voice which never failed to fill my mind with sexual thoughts.

"Um." I paused to think. "Joker flavour."

I winked seductively before giggling as I bit my lip, knowing that he would snap.

"Okay." He said bluntly before ignoring me as he walked away to the fridge.

I slumped my shoulders, utterly flabbergasted at his response before a loud laugh bursted out from the kitchen. I groaned, cursing under my breath as I realised that he was playing with me.

"No sex for ya this week!"

The laughter immediately stopped and I bit my lip as I tried to control my giggles.

"No ice-cream for ya then!"

I frowned, groaning as I cursed before standing up and walking towards the kitchen, a playful grin on my face. My eyes unconsciously met the clock and they widened at the time.

3 am.

Ah, whatever. Its not like I have something important to do tomorrow.

Besides, who sleeps?

Suddenly, my world was spinning and a heavy force made me back against the wall as I stared into blue eyes that would always entrap me in them, like a prisoner.

"Think again." He whispered into my ear, his voice low and erotic. "Did ya forget that mind-blowing sex we had two days ago in the shower where you were a moaning mess," His hands slid up my shirt and rested on my bare hips, drawing patters on my warm skin,"begging for my touch?"

"Really? I can't rememb-"

"Oh, shut up." He pulled away from me and I laughed as he reached the table, digging a spoon in it as he scooped up a spoonful of delicious mouth-watering ice-cream and held them to my mouth.

I opened my mouth wide and when I was going to lick off the ice-cream, he pulled the spoon away and licked the ice-cream off as he laughed at my annoyed face.

"Fuck ya puddin'." I pushed him away as I grabbed the spoon from his mouth.

"I thought ya said no sex for a week?"
