How perfect could this be? The tall empty abandoned building that stood across the street of your apartment building faced your room so perfectly, Like it's destined for Edward to be stood shrouded in darkness while holding the binoculars up to his eyes, Careful as to not scratch the Lens of his glasses while he watches you mindlessly walk around your apartment room.

Your so oblivious, unknowing that your being watched with a loving gaze through your window. Your wearing nothing but pajama shorts and a oversized shirt while doing some small cleaning.

Edward sighs softly, A sound of contentment while he takes in your natural beauty, A sight he's sure no one else gets to see. How he yearns to be by your side, He could hold you close and slowly sway you side to side in a small dance while you both bask in each other's warm embrace—

The vibration and rather loud ringtone of Edwards phone has him drop the binoculars to the dusty floor while he backs away from the window and frantically searches his pockets for his phone. Who could possibly be calling him? He doesn't have friends or anyone besides his work that could be calling him.

Finding his phone, Edward reads the name of the caller and his heart swells before he grabs the binoculars and approaches the window again and sees you holding your own phone to your head while lazily seated on your couch, Though your white curtains that hang halfway opened hide most of you from his view which annoys him. Edward nearly forgot that you and he exchanged numbers after running into each other at his favorite quiet little diner, You and him slowly growing closer as a friendship is formed between you both, Though Edward longs for something deeper with you.

Answering his phone, He clears his throat before speaking. "Hello..." It came out polite yet awkward all the same as always.

Your giggle at his adorable greeting has his heart swelling with love, "Hello, Edward. how are you?" He can hear your smile through the phone as he watches you nervously play with the hem of your shirt.

"I'm doing good, How are you angel? " The little nickname he often calls you now rolling off his tongue in a lovestruck daze. Smiling at the sight of you practically beaming. That's something Edward found enduring, The small little signs of you possibly returning his feelings you show when on the phone with him and not believing he can see. How you allow the blush to adorn your face when he compliments you over the phone, How you smile widely and place a hand over your heart when he does something you deem adorable over the phone—like that time he accidentally sneezed and felt mortified you'd laugh at him but when he watched you through the binoculars and window, You were beaming with an awestruck look.

"I'm doing good too, I was wondering if you'd like to come over? I ordered your favorite takeout..." You say while waiting for his response, Chewing on your bottom lip anxiously.

Edward grins almost dreamily while nodding before he realizes you can't exactly see him. "Of course-yeah id like that" He stammers, Seeing you place a hand over your heart like he's seen so many times before while you smile.

"Good, because if you said no I would be stuck eating a lot of food-Oh! And I made a surprise dessert for you!" You exclaimed the last part excitedly which made Edward feel guilty, He's been watching you for a embarrassing long while today and already knows what the dessert is, The pumpkin pie he's seen you made from scratch. Though he can act surprised, Anything to see that heart melting smile of yours.

"Oh? What is it?" He grins as he sees you sit up on the couch and shake your head.

"It's a surprise, Eddie. The sooner you get here the sooner you'll find out" Oh that cheeky little tone you used has Edward blushing while butterflies flutter around the depths of his belly.

I can get there sooner than you would expect angel

Edward thought while placing the binoculars down as his face flushes red after following you to your bedroom where you had shed your shorts to place on pants, He would save you that slice of privacy...For now...

"I'm on my way then, I'll see you later" He desperately wanted to utter the three words that try and roll off his tongue every time he parts with you, Though he doesn't, Not yet...Not until he's certain you feel the same.

"Okay, Be careful Eddie...Bye" You said so sweetly that Edward almost whimpers into the phone but suppressed the pathetic noise and mutters his goodbye.

Now he has to sit in the building for a reasonable amount of time before going to your apartment, He can't make it seem like he's been standing in the building across your own. He can't risk getting caught watching over you like some creep.

Maybe he is a creep, But he can't fight the urge to always be near you, Always have his eyes on you. He wants to protect you from the horrors of Gotham and he can't do that when he isn't near you.

Edward loves you so much it hurts, He wants to fall to his knees and worship you like you deserve every time you walk into a room. He felt lucky to actually gain your attention that day he basically ran overtop you like the clumsy fool he could be sometimes, He felt lucky to run into you again at the diner where you gave him your number and you both talk the nights away most times, He felt lucky to be your friend....

But he wants more, He needs more. He needs you to return his feelings, He needs you to love him the way he loves you....

Edward brings the binoculars to his eyes one more time before finding you placing the food on your coffee table, How you always go all out on ordering his favorite meals just for him. He giggles at the new thought entering his beautiful mind, He would confess his feelings for you.
