Joker x reader "Fools" part 2

Hey hey! I'm back with
Joker X reader "Fools" part 2
Requested by the one and only,
MoonsDepression 💜
I really enjoyed writing the first one, so I'm super excited for part 2! Okie dokie. Let's get to the story! Enjoy~

"Time!" The smash announcer yelled over the speakers.
You grinned at Joker, your partner in the team battle you guys had just won, and ran over to him. It had been approximately one week since that morning at the caffe, when Joker had asked you to be more than just a friend.

"That was great!" You said, running towards your boyfriend. He picked you up and spun you around in a hug.
"You were amazing love." He smiled, setting you down.

"You did most of the work!" You huffed, poking his cheek.
"We both know that's not true." He grinned, holding out his arm for you. You looped yours through his and made your way off the stage.

As you walked through Smash Mansion, you couldn't help but notice other couples doing, well...coupley things.
Zelda was reading in the lobby, with Link leaning over her shoulder and smiling. Lucina was feeding Robin ice cream as he flipped through the pages of his book. Even Luigi and Daisy were going for a stroll hand in hand through the gardens.

You looked up at Joker, who seemed to be watching the other couples as well.
"Do you think we should try to do something, er, coupley?" You asked, tilting your head.

"I, uh, suppose we could try." Joker nodded, a bit self-conscious. "I'll write down a list of things to try, and you do the same. And then we'll alternate through our lists until we find something we like." Joker smiled at you. "But right now darling, I need to be on stage for a few one on one battles." He kissed the top of your head.

"Okay." You smiled. Sometimes you wondered how you had ever gotten so lucky.
You watched him as he turned to leave before running to your room to start on your list.

"Hmmm." You thought, twirling your pen with your fingers. "Ah-ha!"
You grinned, starting to scribble some things down on a lined piece of paper. A faint blush covered your cheeks as you thought of as many cute coupley things as you could, making sure to write down everything that popped into your head.

Ten minutes later there was a knock at the door. "Oh, right on time." You laughed, skipping over to the door. You flung it open to see Joker standing in the hall. You invited him in, and grabbed some lemonade from the standard mini-fridge in your room. You  poured two glasses and handed one to Joker, who was sitting at the end of your bed. He took a sip from his glass as you sat down next to him.

"First off, how'd the match go?" You asked curiously.
"Oh! Very well. I was able to claim victory with a whole stock left. Though I suppose that's not all that impressive since I was fighting against a small dog with a duck perched on its back." He looked to you with a charming smile before quickly changing his expression and plastering on a goofy grin. He normally put on a very serious and focused persona (pun intended), so it was great to see him in his own natural element. You couldn't help but blush to think about how close you two had grown in such a short time. You could recall Robin saying that the bonds between people grow much faster when they're forced to rely on each other in combat, but you would be a joker (pun intended) to pretend that you only spent time together on the battlefield. {For example, you also fought on Final Destination, Yoshi's Island, Pokémon Stadium... I'm sorry. I'll try to stop joking now... *Ahem* where were we? Oh! Yes!}
Joker looked at you with a small smirk on his face. "Are you wearing blush, or are you simply overwhelmed by my good looks?" he asked. You grinned back, your face flushing a deep crimson.
