Cruel Love (Gotham/Oswald CobblepotFanFic)

Cobblepot's Forbidden Love: 24. Favors Suck

I stomped up the stairs -coming home after another day of not finding Gertrud- I flew open my door and walked straight to my closet, I started looking through clothes when I stopped and turned around.

No. No. ....No.

"Oswald Cobblepot!" I shouted and stomped back down the stairs, he was standing at the bottom of the stairs, I crossed my arms and stared at himv"What is this?"

He looked at me and smiled "A gift. For you for trying to find my mother" he said and laid the fur coat over the chair, he took my hands and kissed my knuckles. I justs tared at him as he held my hands tightly in his "Oz..." I trailed off.

"Mm?"

I sighed "That date can wait. And I don't want that coat. Give it to Gertrud when we find her" I told him, his eyes lit and he shook his head letting go of my hands.

He truly doesnt know what to do with his mother in the hands of Galavan, I thought as I watxhed him go. I made a face and went up to my room, time to become Nessita Michaels one more time...

I entered the elevator and rode up to Galavan's home -dressed in a black corset, boue jeans and boots, I had a gun on each side of my belt dagger on my oeft as well, the elevator dinged and I exited ro find Tabitha Galavan drinking from a wine glass.

I raised a eyebrow "You again" I said smoothoy as I walked into the room, I was calm and patient "Sidekick, eh?"

She put down her glass "No, sister. Looks to me like you are Penguins sidekick."

I shrugged "Whatever money makes, but no. I work for myself, I just get aoong with the King of Gotham" I said and sat down in a seat kicking my feet up on the table "If Falcone and Maeoni were here you and your brother would hoth be cowering."

"But, they are not. Poor Miss Michaels, always the sidekick."

I laughed "You truly do not know who I am" I said and shook my head as a man entered a room ..or is he a rat? Damn, I thought as I raised a eyebrow his face went white.

"M-Maroni?"

I smiled "Nessita. Do I look that much like my uncle?" I asked as Tabitha stood up, I grinned "Now, now. You can bow or you can curtsy" I srood up and straightened my jacket, leather.

Clearly, I didn't look like a Maroni or I would have known yeaes ago we were related, it was the loook I was giving Galavan at the moment. Oswald said I looked like Sal when I did it.

I took the compliment.

"Pick your mouth up off the floor already" I snapped makin him shut his mouth "I just came here to tell you if you do not keep Gertrud safe I will kill you both."

"Emptt threat" Tabitha said and crossed her arms. I smiled.

I was faater than Zsasz, I pulled out my dagger and quick as a flash it was in her ahoulder maiin her scream. I smiled as Theo stared at me "Watch your mouth, I was the heir to Gotham."

"Why didn't you kill Cobblepot and take it then?"

I just stared at the daek haired giro with the dagger in her shoulder, I walkednover to her "Because-" I pulled out my dagger quick making her scream again "-I don't want to disrespect my uncles memory and deal with people like you two morons."

As zi walked to the elevator and wiped blood off my blade I said "Remember, Mrs Kapelput stays safe or I bring back a bigger friend than this one."

Sneaking out was easy, sneaking back in was the hard part, I climbed in through my window and fell on the carpet. I sighed as I laid there for fibe sweet seconds.

I was jerked up by my jacket collar and puahed against the wall "Where were you?!" was shouted at me.

"Out."

"Out where? What did you do?"

Oswald shook me and I pushed him away from me "Nothing! Out of Gotham, why are you so worried?" I asked, he was nervous and shaking like a leaf "Cobblepot!" I shouted.

He sighed and sat on the bed "I was worried. This hasn't been the beat time of my life and ...I thought they took you from me."

It dawned on me. He thought Galavan had took me like they took his mother.

"Oz... If someone took me away they would just bring me back. That is the upside of being a Maroni ...being a asshole runs in the family unfortunately" I mumbled the last part but he still heard because he smiled.

He took my hand in his and kissed it "You ...you are wonderful" he said and smiled at me "Will you tell me what you went out and done?"

"No. Its between me and them."

"A little hint?"

I smiled at him "Well... Nessita Michaels came out for the night" I said, his eyebrow raised up as he looked at me. I understand it sounded a little weird but I was different when I thought I wasnt the niece of Salvatore Maroni.

He turned to me and smiled "Nessita Michaels huh?" He said, before I could say anything he leaned forward and pressed his lips to mine. Its been awhile for this, he smiled against our kiss.

"I don't know which side of you I like better" he mumbled as he wrapped his arms around me and smiled, I put my arms around his neck and stared into his eyes. You never kiss him because you are scared to fall in love, my brain scolded me.

"The side that doesn't want to kill strangle you in your sleep" I told him, he was grinning.

"I hope that isn't the side of you I just kissed."

In a quick movemnt, I grabbed him by his suit jacket collar and towards me making him confused and his eyes wide.
