Life's a Game and I Will Help You Win
Arthur Fleck x Homeless Teen Reader
You stood at the corner of a store on your knees and broken. Nobody was paying you any mind and it hurt. Your clothes were mucky and ripped and shredded. You needed the money wanting so badly to have a meal when you let tears run down your face when you were just about to get up when a man with long hair dropped a coin into the small bowl you had. You looked up at him to see his grinning face and you couldn't help but grin back.
"Thank you sir. I really do apriciate this." you say softly as you stood up with a big smile glued to your face.
He shrugged his shoulders and laughed slightly as you chuckled with him.
"Well life shouldn't be a tragedy it should be a comedy and anyway I can help I will." he said as he gave you a hand to shake.
"Arthur Fleck. What is your name?" he asked.
"(Y/N). Nice to meet you sir." you said deciding to still be formal. He did an exaggerated sigh and put his finger on his chin in a goofy manner making a face that made you giggle.
"How about we get you a meal hey?" he asked as he pointed to a Chinese reasurant around the block. You nodded excitedly as you nodded making him laugh at the enthusiasm and leading you there. You thought in the back of your mind that you knew better than to go with strangers but you were too hungry plus he was one of the few people to show you compassion he couldn't be that bad.
