Into The Shadow Realm | Rascal x fem reader story 2023

30| Interrupted Meeting

"This happens every time!"

Rascal looks down at everyone. "(Y/n) called this meeting, not I ~"

Ulric, Brute and Brooha's scowls soften immediately, then they all glance towards you with wide eyes. The joker watches in entertainment with a hand on his hip below a titled torso.

"Sorry (y/n)!"

"I-I didn't mean to say that! I didn't mean it!"

"We didn't mean to!"

Begs and pleads begin pouring from their mouth, and you sit there lost for words. You did not call this meeting, technically you suggested this meeting. After you and Rascal turned up in the living room, everyone else arrived. But why would he say that?

Before you can say anything else, the joker leaps forward and hangs upside down right up close to the three.

"Hmm~ I gave you three all power to serve Emperor Nogo! How would you like it if I were to take it away just like that?~"

They all tremble in fear.

"Hey! No it is fine, really guys." You say, feeling sorry for the poor creatures, but they sigh and teleport away.

"Really Rascal?"

The jester giggles to himself, then plops down on the table cross legged facing you. "They should really watch their mouths~"

"You know I did not call this meeting."

He cocks his head. "Oh but you did suggest we have it dearie. It's nice sharing good ideas with another creature I must say!"

You roll your eyes, then look back up to him smiling down at you. There is a couple moments silence shared of just watching each other.

Then, breaking from your trance, a question pops into your head. A few actually.

"What do you mean when you said you gave them power?"

The joker grins, showing his fangs. He leans closer to you. "They are pixies, (y/n)~"

Pixies!? Of course! That would make a lot of sense! How did you not realise before!? You scold yourself for not realising sooner.

"Yes it's true! They had been outcasted, stranded. I came across the poor things with a proposition. And they accepted."

You stop and think for a moment.

"Rascal..."

The jester leans even closer. "(Y/n)?"

"That is...really kind of you."

At your words, his face drops instantly. Rascal frowns, pulling away and gritting his teeth. "Kind~!?"

"Yes kind! You obviously saw that they needed help, then gave it to them."

"I'm not kind! Silly magic bearer! You don't know what you're saying~"

"Silly joker!" you mimic his tone and words back to him, "I think your inner loyalty and kindness is beginning to show through."

Then, suddenly and unexpectedly, Rascal leans further towards you with a smirk. Out reaches a sharp fingernailed hand to take your chin.

"I wonder why?~" His voice lowers a little, the slits in his mask narrowing just a touch.

There are no words to describe how flustered this makes you. You take advantage of his touch and teleport the both of you out of the living room, to yours. The action startles the joker quite a bit, and he falls to the floor.

"That is quite brave of you Rascal," you start, raising an eyebrow while you watch him stand, "anyone could have seen."

"Seen me with the most beautiful creature I have ever laid eyes upon? Oh no." The jester steps forward, his curled boots creaking against the floorboards of the attic. Soon Rascal is backing you into the wall behind.

He stays there, watching you for a second, your racing heart against the silence is deafening. Then, a hand comes up to the edge of your face, Rascal's fingers softly glide against your cheek.

"Hm~ would you mind if I were to kiss you again?"

Your stomach flips as you shake your head.

This time, you do not mind the fact that his belt is digging into your chest. All you are concentrated on is the intimate action of his soft lips locking with yours over and over again.

Your breath catches in excitement as Rascal's hands grip your waist, pulling you closer, and he takes this as a cue to continue. Your hands slide up to his back, knowing he loves the sensation, and you smile when you hear his sharp intake of breath.

As the joker leans in again, you swear you spot the edges of his eyes begin glowing a sort of pink colour. Excitement grows between the two of you, the kisses become more heavy and fast-paced. Both of your breathing quickens, and just when the joker travels down to your neck.....a yell comes shouting from across the Shadow Realm. The two of you freeze. Rascal pulls away, turns towards the sound while gritting his fangs in a scowl.

"Hey! We're here to get the charms back you sadistic clown!"
