I attempt to sleep on the floor next to my own bed. It isn't the most comfortable place to sleep but a man like Oswald Cobblepot surely deserves his space. After all that he has been through, the least I could do is give him a place to rest.
I can hear the raindrops rapidly falling against the window of my studio apartment. This noise is hard to fall asleep to but nothing compares to the silent sobs from Mr. Penguin. I thought this wouldn't last long but it only got worse. I can't just lay here and let him continue to feel this pain can I? Oswald starts to speak words of his mother. I decide to make a bold move by getting up from the ground and quietly sit next to Oswald. What if I sang him a lullaby? Perhaps the lullaby he once spoke of in his dreams.
The fire has gone out
Wet from snow above
But nothing will warm me more than my, my mothers love.
I light another candle
Dry the tears from my face
Nothing can protect me more
Than my mothers warm embrace
The path ahead is dark
So dark I cannot see
But I will not fear
Cause my mother looks over me
As I finish softly singing the lullaby, I realize that Oswald's sobs have came to an end.
I continue to sing to him every night for the next two days, when having these treacherous nightmares.
As I was about to crawl into the blanket on the floor, I hear Oswald's voice.
"Ed?"
"Yes Mr. Penguin?" I say almost surprisingly.
"Do you mind singing that lullaby before I fall asleep?"
It seems that my feathered friend has been aware of my late night singing. I plant myself next to him and start to very softly sing to him.
"Goodnight Oswald" I say, almost silent. Just as I was about to get up, I felt a hand grab on to mine.
"Stay?"
Without hesitation, I do what I was told. I crawl in to the covers and gently wrap my arms around him. Slowly, I move my head toward Oswald's and place a kiss behind his ear. I'm quite certain that both of us will finally be able to truly sleep in peace.
