In the warmth of the apartment, the two of you sit close together on the sofa. "Do you know," you say, showing your phone, "this is literally so you."

Harley glances at it, then lets out a long sigh. He stops when he reads the meme: 'I'm not funny, I'm just handsome and that's a bonus.'

He looks at you, raising an eyebrow. "Seriously?" You nod quickly, your grin widening. "Super accurate. 10/10 representation."

Harley shakes his head, but the corner of his lips lifts. "I should be offended, right?" "You should," you reply. "But you're too busy being handsome."

He lets out a soft laugh. It’s that same silly sense of humor that always makes you laugh, a trait of his that never changed. Your relationship has lasted for six years now, starting all the way back from high school.

The conversation drifts into random stuff, until you start getting playful. His hand resting near you becomes an easy target.

"Why are you—" he hasn't even finished speaking when your fingers attack first. Harley bursts into laughter, trying to catch your hands as you tickle him mercilessly.

"This is payback!" you say. But slowly, the situation shifts. Harley stops trying to escape.

Instead, he looks at you with an expression far too calm. You're still laughing, not noticing the change. And that's your mistake.

In one swift motion, he grabs your wrist, firm but careful. The world seems to spin for a second as he gently pushes you back onto the sofa.

Now hovering above you, that familiar faint smile returning—only now it means something different. "Harley—" you don't even get to finish.

And the attack begins. Your laughter bursts out louder than before as his fingers retaliate. "You started it," he says casually, as if it's an undeniable rule.

"STOP! I surrender! I swear!" you yell, trying to squirm but it's useless. He's stronger than you. He laughs, finally slowing down. "Oh my God, you're so dramatic."

Still, his hands don't immediately move away. Harley looks down at you, his eyes soft as always, just like six years ago. "Next time, think before you start a war," he says with that damn grin.
