Cruel Love (Gotham/Oswald CobblepotFanFic)

Cobblepot's Spy: 19. Heartbreaker

I leaned in the chair at the GCPD I spun around from the desk to see Harvey with his arms crossed "Getout of my chair" he said, I stood up and let him sit down. I sighed "So, I'm out of work" I said, he opened his flask and took a swig.

"What are you going ot do?"

I sighed "I'm thinking ...Metropolis" I said and smiled down at him "I know nobody there" I told him "Perfect spot."

"Ar eyou seriously going to leave all of this?" he asked and looke dup at me "YOu have made a name for yourself, Ness, you are the niece of Don MAroni, you have half the criminals scared of you, you keep the street's clean."

"The GCPD's job."

He shook his head "You are Gotham. For now, until someone else comes along for you, you keep this place ...better" he said and leaned back in his chair "You worked your way up from Zsasz's sidekick to working for Don Maroni, you had trust from Carmine Falcone and you need to work for the King of Gotham."

"That is a huge problem."

"Why?"

I shook my head "He ...Cobblepot told me something ...I can't tell him it back."

HArvey just stared at me "He loves you" he said in realization "Is that why you want to leave town?" when I said nothing, he pointed his flask at me "Your mother wuld not want you ...she wouldn't want you to be like this. COld hearted. She would want you to love someone."

"Thanks a lot HArvey, can i have money for the ticket or not?" I snapped.

HE stared at me before placing the money in my hand, he didn't let go when I grabbed ahold of it, he stared into my eyes "When I took that witness statment form you years ago when she had that wreck ...I took care of you as much as I could, then Falcone got ahold of you" he said, he gave me a look "Don't let me down."

I took the money and walked out of the GCPD, the train station was my destination.

I sat on a bench, my suitcase next to my feet and a book in my hand. I wanted to make fun of the love story I was reading, guy fall for girl, girl falls for guy, guy and girl fight, guy and girl date. Very weird, but then I thought to myself as I read where the guy was going to kill the girl under orders and about where the girl had orders to do the same to him. They had lied to each other all along.

This is me and Oswald, I thought and threw down th ebook before I could read any more of it. It was awful -not the book- but how I had shoved away Cobblepot yesterday, I felt bad. He was trying to give me everything I had always wanted and yet I shoved him out of my heart like a idiot.

I looked to the giant clock and saw it read seven pm, I looked around at the happy couples and it reminded me of the night I went to my apartment and Oswald had attacked me.

All these years I was either under Falcone or Maroni's orders and Oswald was offering to let me control the back streets like I used to, he was offereing me my old job and my old life.

HE gave me the cross bow I always wanted.

As the train number came across the speakers I got up and grabbed my suitcase, my fett didn't move as th enumber was called again.

My gaze turned to the door and locked on it, I sighed and shook my head "You can't love him. You can't be what he needs. YOu arne't strong enough for him" I tried to tell myself, but guilt filled me "But, I need him."

I ran out the door with my suitcase, fleeing the train station.

I am probably the only person that ever kicked open the King of Gotham's doors to his meeting room, Oswald turned around as the door slammed shut behind me, he crossed his arms and leaned on the table as he stared.

"Don't sya anything. Not yet. I am not girlfriend material, I don't know how to treat a guy right, but I can try" I said quick "I will try, I can try to love you. I can try my best, but I don't know how well it will work out. I care for you Oz. I really do, It's just hard for me."

He stood there silent and I spread out my arms "Is that it? I come here and tell you all that after yesterday and you say nothing?" I said.

After a moment, he took a couple steps towards me and was right in front of me "I'll take what I can get."

I reached my hands up and grabbed his collar pulling his head down to me "If I can't do this, I will leave Gotham" I said and he put his hands on mine. I smiled and kissed him before saying "I will work beside you, on a couple conditions."

He licked his lips with a grin "Like I said. Whatevr I can get, just as long as you are beside me. Miss Maroni."
