Edward Nygma x Sonlin Oakley

first meeting

two people sat in a- pretty nicely sized office. Those two people being Sonlin Oakley and Edward Nygma, Sonlin was a survivor they managed to rescue. Everyone found that they attached themselves to the GCPD forensic scientist, Edward
And he was fine with it. So they all collectively agreed to let them stay with him in he's office, since they had nowhere else to go. Homeless shelters weren't exactly a safe place in Gotham, nor did they have any other family they could go too.

they clinched onto the blanket they were given when they were first rescued, Edward found that they were very silent..infact. they didn't make a peep, even their coughs and occasional sneezes were quie-..wait, occasional sneezes? "Sona" the male said softly as he looked to the person who laid across he's love seat, they were staring at the ceiling so he spoke to get their attention..and he did. "Yeah?.." they replied almost with a whisper, Nygma put down the papers he was filing through to come check their temperature. Removing he's glove to feel their forehead "is there a chance you are feeling under the weather?" He asked them softly, he's eyes narrowed with worry but soon he's worries were shushed

"it is just the weather putting me under it..I usually get very..icky when it warms up.." Sona looked at him, he nodded in return "alright..just..thought I'd ask since you're sneezing alot, I was worried you were catching a cold on me already. We can't have that, not on your first day with me at least" he inhaled then exhaled, having forgotten to breathe "sorry- but my point stands" he continued, the other one giving a faint smile at he's attitude.
Edward returned to he's desk to finish with the paperwork he started while Sona sat up alittle, "where's my owlet?.." they asked gently. They were starting to worry about the small bird, Edward perked up "just being checked by our vet is all, making sure she's okay. She's not injured or sick" he stated causing the other to nod in return "she shouldn't be injured..I never let him handle her.. though I don't know about sick.." they put a hand on their chin, as Kristen Kringle entered Edward's office with the owl wrapped in a warm towel "she's perfectly healthy from what I was told" Sona was handed the sleeping owl. They got scared at first but Kringle pat their head "they had to sedate her, she was threatening everyone and biting them. For being so small she's-..very feisty" the lady giggled, as Sona gave her a gentle smile "she's like that..I think she's just overprotective.." they said, as kringle sat on the couch to talk to them and Edward. "Does she have name?" The man asked with a crooked brow, "willow.." Sona replied. Petting the sleeping owlet

Sometime passed, and soon Mr Nygma and Mrs Oakley were by themselves again. Edward taking Kristen's place on the couch next to them "she's as sweet as can be, you can trust her" he rubbed their back. As they leaned against him alittle causing him to sigh in content "I'll be getting off work soon, you can come to my place with me so you won't be living on the streets..sadly if I'm not here, they won't let you stay here. Which is understandable but it's sickening that they would just throw you on the streets" he seemed- pissed slightly at saying that to them. He rubbed their head "we'll stop by a pet store too, get this one a water and food bowl. Maybe a cage and something's to play with" he gestured to the small owl, petting her head then petting Sona's.

Once Edward got off work he held Sona's hand, in their free arm they carried the still sleeping owl. Whom shifted every now and then to get comfortable, small rain drops hit the ground as the male pulled out he's umbrella "they're calling for storms tonight, thank God too. It's starting to get too hot for my liking" he tried to start conversation, usually he sucked at it. But he didn't feel safe keeping Sona silent "yeah..I agree..I like it when it rains.." they replied with a purr, falling silent once more until Edward started humming
It was an older song. But surprisingly- Sona perked up "is..that I don't want to set the world on fire?.." they tilted their head, as he perked up "I'm shocked you know that one, you don't really strike me as the type to enjoy old fashion music" he let go of their hand. Trusting them that they'll keep following him, and follow him they did. They used their other arm to hold the owlet in their arm

"I like alot of things honestly.. especially older video games.." they smiled, As Edward got excited "you like video games too!?, Oh my lord I have a large collection of old classics that I'm gonna have to show you" he giggled with joy "I love puzzle type games- but I have ones like Mario and very few shooters" he moved he's free hand about. As Sona smiled, happy that he was now happy "that sounds awesome..we'll have to play them when we get home.."
