Gotham One-Shots

Trouble Believing

You look at the drink in your hand and smile. This one drink had gave you love.

"Oh my..." A man says to you a you sit up, and frown, noticing your drink had been spilled all over your new f/c blouse. You look at him ready to destroy him, but you quickly melt under his soft brown gaze, "are you alright?" He gives you his hand and you smile,
"Well I just stained my new blouse, I just spilt my favorite drink, and," You look at your watch as he helps you up, and sigh, "now I'm late to my interview. So I probably lost a job I never had. But yeah... I'm alright." He frowns, but then slowly smiles,
"It doesn't quite lie in your stomach, it lies above, and is often thought as a symbol of love." He says, and you look at him confused,
"Oh, it's a riddle." You smile, but then frown, "I'm sorry, but I don't quite know the answer." He smiles,
"That's okay." Then he hands you a piece of paper, "I'll tell you tonight at dinner. Consider it a sorry for my mistakes." He then hurries off and you stand there confused, with a man's number, and an address. You shrug your shoulders, what else was there to lose?

That night he'd introduced himself, and you two quickly became the apple of each other's eye.
"Could I also have a black coffee?" You ask the barista seeing as how there were no more customers in line. He nods and you pay for it as you look at the time. You stared at it, hoping time would move just a little bit quicker. You sigh, but quickly smile after hearing your name called out. You grab the coffee and begin your walk.

"Well hello..." An officer says to you, as you walk into the GCPD. He winks at you, and you immediately feel disgusted, "And why might a pretty young thing like you being doing in such a many place like this?" You internally puke, but kept your smile up, remembering why you had come here in the first place,
"Oh yes. I just remembered." You say as you quickly scan the crowd not seeing your beloved, "Ummm... Do you know where I could find Eddy?" He looks at you puzzled.
"We don't have a Eddy." He then smirks, "But we do have a Tommy." He winks at you again and you frown. You then look at his badge noticing that it had read Thomas Dougherty. You sigh,
"Look I'm just here to see my boyfriend Edward Nygma. Can you please point me in the direction he's in?" You ask flatly not wanting to deal with him anymore. But upon hearing what you had said he laughed. He. Laughed. All essence of your happiness left, and you stood there frustrated,
"You're hilarious." He says as his laughter begins to die, "I could marry you. You're so funny." You tense at his comment, which he notices, "You're not joking?" He looks you up and down, "You're actually dating Edward Nygma!?" His voice so Lou's, he was basically yelling. Everybody at The GCPD had turned their heads, and looked at you. And thus the whispering had begun. You sigh,
"Thanks." You say as you go to the sitting area, knowing that now nobody was going to help you now.

"Are you really Edward's girlfriend?" A girl with red hair and cat eye glasses asks, and that just drives you over the edge.
"No i'm not." You say with the most sarcastic tone you could muster. She looks at you shocker,
"Really?" She asks, "I really thought that-"
"YES! I am actually Edward Nygma's girlfriend! You morons." You accidentally yell, sending her scurrying away. You shake you head and sigh. "What's the point? I might as well leave. I mean the coffee's already cold." You say to yourself. You pick up your bag and the coffee and head back out, everybody watching your favorite movement. You sigh as you stand in the doorway, "I'm leaving now." You announce to everyone, "So now would be a good time to stop talking about me and actually do your fucking jobs." You turn around to see everyone still staring at you and you shake your head.
"Wait!" A voice shouts, but you continue walking out the door, "Y/N! N/N! WAIT!" You turn around to see Edward,
"Eddy..." you say softly, a smiling pulling on your face.
"Please don't go..." He says as he approaches you,
"Ed-" you start but you're abruptly interrupted by someone's lips on your own. You smile into the kiss, as you kiss back.
"A heart." Edward says as he breaks the kiss off. You look at him confused, "The answer to the riddle all those years back was a heart." He pulls out a box, and gets on a knee, "And I'd love to give mine to you." You stare at him in shock, "What I'm saying is; Y/N, you marry me?" Your smile grows larger, and a few tears fall.
"Of course!" You say,smiling, "Yes, Ed, I will marry you!" He smiles and twirls you around.
"I love you to the moon and back." He says as he pulls you in for yet another kiss.
