Gotham One-shots

For The Record (Edward x reader x Oswald)

(I'm sorry that I write these sad one-shots, but dammit I like to write them.  XD)

Edward had chased you around - metaphorically - much like he had done to Kristen. Until, you eventually gave in and agreed to go out with him on a date. You actually enjoyed his company.

After a few months of the two of you dating, he asked you to move in with him, and you obliged.

But after living with I'm for a few weeks you've noticed that he's... different.

Standing in Ed's apartment, you realized how unhealthy you two's relationship was.

You two had been arguing over the phone for the past two hours.

You texted Oswald, your best friend.

You: Hey, Oz, I need you to come by Ed's apartment, please.

Oz: what's up? Are you and Ed fighting, again?

You: I don't know how you always know, but yeah.

Oz: Instincts. And, yeah, I'll be right over.

You: thank you, Oswald, so much. And I'm sorry for bringing you into this, again.

Oz: it's no issue for me, just to know you're safe is all I need.

You sighed, thinking 'thank goodness for Oswald.'

You heard a car pull up downstairs,  that was fast.

But, it's not Oswald... it's Ed.

You tried to hide, but Ed was too fast and came busting through the door, pulling you back by your hair.

"WheRe do yOu thiNk YoUr gOing?"

By his slurs, you could tell that he was drunk.

It wasn't like him to get drunk... an occasional glass of wine, but that's usually all.

Another car pulls up. Please be Oz, this time.

Luckily it was. You could hear the uneven pitter-patter of his shoes, and the clicking of his umberella hitting the tile.

Edward pulls you into a sloppy, drunken kiss.

But, you pull away, spitting the alcoholic taste off your mouth.

Oswald enters the room, and you begin to explain, "his tongue, " you point at Ed, whom has a cheeky grin on his face, "tastes of acid; left me numb."

"oH, don'T liSten tO hEr, OswAld," He rolls his eyes.

"His touch," you continue, "burns my heart and then my lungs."

Your eyes puff up.

"Don'T bE SuCh a dRama qUeen... God, aNd I thouGht KriSten was bAd." He laughed.

"Shut it!" Oswald snaps at him.

"Made me feel like I'm not enough, " you looked to the floor, feeling Ed's gaze burn into your skull, "made me feel like I'm not enough, " you gaze back, sending daggers through his eye sockets - metaphorically, "all I wanted from him was love," you pointed at Ed again.

Oswald waddles over to you, giving you a hug.

You whisper in Oswald's ear, "oh God, losing him was my greatest fear."

You pull away from him.

Continuing to glare at Ed, you say "my mind spun circles until I'd hear your lies, that you'd love me for all your years... that you'd love me for all your years.... now all I want is money, my dear."

It's Oswald's turn to laugh, "you should have expected that Ed... this is Gotham, after all."

Ed groans, "____, sUreLy wE cAn Ju---"

"[No!] With you I gave up. I hit my boy up," You jab a thumb towards Oswald, "he asked me---"

Oswald finished, "What's up?"

You continue, "i say..." grinning mischievously, "I need a couple bucks."

You look back to Ed, your arms at your side, your grin slowly faltering.

"I hadn't let you go. You were killing me way too slow. You were killing me way too slow. I thought you should know... [I'm only] here to finish what we started." A tear falls from your eye, you, wiping it away quickly, "it's all my fault I left you brokenhearted, [you know, from the first time around.]"

Oswald gives you a half hug, your grin back in place, "and, baby, I will own up to the fact..." you trail off, now noticing that, behind his glasses, Ed's eyes are red and puffy, possibly containing tears... "That I'm not sorry for the Heart I lack."

He slowly falls to his knees, the alcohol slowly fading away.

Being slightly drunk doesn't help now, does it, Eddie-boy?

You scoffed, "I know, I was never one to love," you throw your arms up in the air, agitated, "it shows! " you let them fall back down, "[especially] when your push turns me to shove. I don't think that you will get it. I don't expect you to get it. Say my name and throw a fit."

He let's out a sob, and you roll your eyes.

See how you like it.

"It hurts, I know it does - but I've done much worse. "

He stands to his feet, backing up from you.

You chuckle darkly, "don't run, 'cause I-i e-eat hearts for fun."

He looks to you, surprised, hoping that you didn't mean that literally.

"That's why... voices are helping me survive. These voices helping me survive.  I'm so rich [in voices] that I could cry!"

Your phone rings, an owl Emoji appearing on the screen...

What does the Court want now?

You sighed, hitting the disconnect button.

Turning your attention back to Ed, "with you I gave up. So I hit them all up..." you hesitated, "[the court.] I asked them 'what's up?' They said I gotta get them bucks. I hadn't let you go. You did nothing but bring me low. Yeah, you did nothing but bring me low. I thought you should know, I came back here to finish what we started. It's all my fault I left you broken hearted. And, baby, I will own up to the fact... that I'm not sorry for the heart I lack."

Ed was now leaned against the coffee table, his hair everywhere, Sobs escaping his lips from left and right, "please don't leave me..." was all you could hear him whisper.

You walked closer to him, Oswald's arm falling off of you.

Ed flinched as you wrapped your arms around him, Whispering, "I came back here to finish what we started. It's all my fault I left you broken hearted. And, baby, I will own up to the fact... that I'm not sorry for the heart I lack."

You let him go, walking back to Oswald, who had already grabbed your things.

"Are you ready to go, ____, dear?"

You looked back at Ed, whose head was buried in his hands.

"[As ready as I'll ever be.]"

Heyo!
Sooo, as promised, here's another chapter.
I know, I know,  it's sad.
But! I did put a warning at the begining.
I don't know why, but I'm good at these sad one-shots.
And for now...
Dueces!
