You and Eddy have been dating for 8 months, you have known he was the riddler for a while now. You would OCCASIONALLY help him with the riddler stuff only with little things though like patching up cuts or his suit you couldn't risk him getting caught or bleeding to death. When Eddy first told you about his "secret" you were nervous, Eddy told you countless times that he would never hurt you. That you where his angel you believed him but at the same time you felt like you had to walk on eggshells around him. Not sharing your own opinions or ideas. Edward quickly caught on to this he was mad at himself for making you scared of him. But soon you relised that Eddy would never hurt you that you really are his little angel. You worked as a librarian at your local library, so some days you would be able to come home early if the day was slow and today was one of them days. When you arrived at the apartment you looked around "this place is a mess" you said to yourself walking over to the sink where the dirty dishes were starting to pile up turning on the tap and adding dish soap you let the dishes soak for a bit as you start to clean up eddy's riddler work moving paper work on his desk, re-pinning photos to his cork board then you noticed it the piece of paper what read "8th October 2022" and next to it "Recognition" you read it. The further you got down the papear the more you felt weak, you felt like you were going to faint, your chest became tight and your breathing more un-even feeling tears started to well up in your eyes coming to the realisation that tomorrow on the 8th of October Eddy was going to complete his work and revile himself to Gotham, he would end up in Arkham. Knowing this you felt numb you knew the day would come were Eddy would get caught or decide it's finally time to reveal himself but you always pushed away that thought. You fell to the floor uncontrollably crying your chest tightened, the room felt small as you sobbed. After a while you lost track of time not knowing how long you sat there feeling numb, feeling like you are in a nightmare wanting to wake up but you couldn't. You heard the door open and a familiar voice cheer "angel, I'm home!!" you didn't reply you didn't even know if you could form words still sobbing uncontrollably "love? Are you home yet?" You could hear in Edward's voice that he was concerned you where always home before him "over here" you mumbled, you didn't even know if Eddy would be able you hear you but he did he came running over to you he saw you laying on the floor sobbing he was confused on why you where so upset until he saw the paper in your hand that's when he understood why you were crying "angel I- i promise I was going to tell you" "really?!! You can't Edward you can't do this to yourself or me!!" You scream at him. You see tears start to form in Edwards eyes "angel please I'm sorry" whispers Edward his voice cracking "why would you? Why can't you reveal yourself later!! Why now huh?" You say trying your best to fight off tears "I-I don't know it just feels right" "well it's not Edward, it's really not!!" you scream at him "Fine, fine angel I won't I'll wait please just stop shouting at me" hey says while using the sleeve of his jacket to wipe your tears "thank you Eddy" you said exhausted "cmon love you must be exhausted, Lets get you to bed" Eddy picks you up bridal style and carry's you to bed gently laying you down on the mattress. He lays next to you spooning you (he's the big spoon) the silence is awkward after that basically one way argument "shit" you mumble "you okay angel?" Edward asks softly "I forgot to wash the dishes" you groan, he chuckles against the back of your neck "don't worry love I'll do it later."
