💜 Nygmobblepot Week! 💚

🔹Day One!🔸

Nygmobblepot Week Day 1: [Fake marriage]

Headcannon- Barbra Kean "acquired" Oswalds mothers body in an attempt to urk him after he very nearly ruined her plan to rule Gotham. She wants revenge and he wants his mother to rest in peace.

Just a piece of paper

"I have a proposition for you, Ed." Oswald said, gritting his teeth at the name.
Ed crossed his arms. "What is it." He snarled back. Oswald took a deep breath and leaned against his umbrella. "I'm sure you know this by now, but Barbra has taken something from me that I would like back." He said, trying hard not to grab his gun and shove it down Ed's throat.
Ed rolled his eyes. "Of course I do. Why are you here then?"
"Isn't it obvious? You know where she is. Tell me, and I'll let you live another day." Oswald grinned maliciously. Ed laughed. "You think I'm scared of you?!" He got up from his chair and stalked over to Oswald. "You think that you can walk in here like you own the place, and ask me for help?" He laughed again. "You think I'm going to help you?! " Ed said loudly, grabbing oswald by the collar and narrowing his eyes. "After what you did." He said coldly.
Oswalds eyes narrowed as well. He held his facade of pride, but felt the walls crumbling inside of him. "No, but this might convince you." Oswald grinned and waved in a few of his body guards in. Ed gasped as he realized that one of them was holding a knife to Lee's neck.
Ed let Oswald's shirt go; and he straightened his suit.
"I do hope you'll reconsider~" Oswald cooed.
"I can't believe you!" Ed stomped his foot in protest. Oswald chuckled. "I don't care. Now, will you help me?" He asked again, smugly.
Ed huffed and looked to Lee, who was struggling to get out of the Body guards grip. Of course, she couldn't.
"...Fine." He said finally. Oswald clapped his hands together and smiled. "Wonderful! So, where is she?" Oswald asked.

A few hours later and they made it to barbras "hideout". Oswald slammed through the double doors with Ed walking begrudgingly behind him.
"Where is she?!" Oswald yelled into the dust.
Barbra came from the shadows, accompanied by Tabitha and Selina.
"Well, what do we have here?" She grinned, making Oswald's skin crawl.
"Interesting.. The little bird has teamed up with Eddy it seems~" both of them growled at Barbras nicknames, but didn't say anything.
"I asked you a question." Oswald said through gritted teeth.
Barbra scoffed. "Oh very well. I'll tell you. But! You must do something for me first." Her grin became wider. Oswald rolled his eyes. "What do you want?" He said, clearly irritated.
"I want.. " she tapped her chin in thought, trying to think of the most irritating task for Oswald to complete. She looked from Oswald to Edward, seeing their scowls towards each other.
"Ah!" She smiled. "I want you and Ed to get married~" she cooed mockingly.

"What?!" Oswald and Ed both said. Barbra laughed. "Yep. And if you have a problem with it, I guess your poor mother will... Well," she made a pouty face and pointed to a moniter above her. Suddenly it turned on: it showed Oswald's mother on a conveyor belt. Without warning, a furnace on the other side of the room she was in turned on. The belt started to move.
Oswald felt his heart beating at 100 beats a second. "W-WAIT!!" he shouted, face riddled with fear.
The conveyor belt stopped. Oswald let out a sigh of relief.
"We'll do it." He said, after a moment of silence.
Barbra looked shocked. "Oh. Okay, well then why dont you-" "what?!" Ed interrupted. Oswald glared daggers at him. "I didn't agree to anything!" Ed crossed his arms.
Oswald bit the inside of his mouth to keep him from screaming. "You will. Or Ms. Thompkins will be no more." He said menacingly.
Eds face went pale and he looked away. "Fine... It's just a piece of paper after all, it doesn't mean anything." These words cut open old wounds Oswald had shut away. Oswald flinched at the statement, but kept his stature. "Great, now can I have my mother back?" He said, clearly annoyed at this prolonged conversation.
Barbra pouted, a bit dissapointed that they agreed so easily.
"Not yet. Whats a marriage without a wedding?" Oswald and ed sighed and gritted their teeth.
Barbra grinned, happy that they were once again angry. Oswald nodded begrudgingly. "Fine! Let's get it over with." He said, putting a hand on his hip. Barbra smiled innocently. "That's the spirit! I appreciate your enthusiasm Penguin, but unfortunately you can't just plan a wedding instantly. I'll get something worked out soon though.. Meet me say... Tomarrow? In the warehouse district." She winked.
Oswald threw his hands down in frustration. "I don't have time for your childish games!" He yelled.
Barbra sighed. "If you don't, your mother gets incinerated. Your choice."
After a few, painstaking, seconds oswald mumbled "fine." And walked out; Ed followed close behind, not saying a word in fear of Lee's life.

The wedding

Oswald and Ed stood in front of a shabby looking church, vines crawling up the sides. They took a deep breath and went through the double doors.
Inside, were rows of pews filled with people. Ed's eyes widened. "There are so many people!" He whisper yelled. Oswald gulped. "Who do you think invited them?" He glared at Barbra, patiently waiting at the alter. And, of course, there was a giant flowered Arch over it. They, nervously, walked up to the stand, refusing eye contact.

As Barbra read, Oswald and Ed stood silently, not daring to look back at the dozens of people sitting behind them.
[I can't believe I'm doing this..] Oswald thought to himself. [I'm actually.. Marrying him. I never thought this would happen.] He Shook his head, pushing away any lingering feelings that might have still been there for Ed.

[I can't believe I agreed to this! My reputation is on the line! Lee had better be worth it.] Ed thought, sighing.

"Would you like to say your vows?" Barbra said, interrupting both of their thoughts. "No." They said in unison.
She pouted. "Come on, just say anything."
Ed rolled his eyes. "Fine. I vow to never stop hating you." He stared into Oswald's eyes with malice.
Oswald's eye twitched, still hurt by Eds words.
"And I vow to never stop trying to kill you." He growled back.

Barbra clapped her hands together. "Great! So.. Do you, Edward Nygma, take Oswald Cobblepot to be your law fully wedded husband?" She turned to Ed.
He stared straight into Oswald's eyes with hate.

"I do."

"And do you, Oswald Cobblepot, take Edward Nygma to be your law fully wedded husband?" She looked to Oswald. He grinned and glared with the same hatred towards Ed. It still hurt when ed looked at him that way, but he had to keep up the facade.

"I do."

Bonus-

"I now pronounce you.. Husband and husband! You may now kiss the bride~"

They both glared at Barbra. "I'm not doing that." Ed said. Oswald nodded "me neither!"
Barbra scoffed. "You have to! It's what the people want~" she winked at them, waving her hand at all the people in the audience.
"I don't care about the people" Ed snarled. Barbra sighed. "Do it for Lee then, idiot. I'm not letting you leave without a kiss." She grinned.

They looked at eachother.
"Fine, let's just get it over with.." Ed growled.
"Y-yeah." Oswald agreed.
They both sighed and, hesitantly, leaned in closer. Oswald felt his face start to burn a bright crimson, and ed scowled more.
A few seconds of awkwardness later, Ed huffed. "For fucks sake-" he said and grabbed oswald's tie, closing the gap between them.

Oswald let out a small yelp from surprise: and for a moment, Eds lips reminded him of what could've been.
Then, just like that, the moment was over.
They parted lips and they were left with nothing but memories.

[That surprisingly did not go horribly.] Oswald thought as he was on his way back to the mansion. [Although..] He touched his lips. [That was certainly unexpected.]
He felt his lips curl up a small bit, then quickly went back to normal.
It wasn't as monumentous as Oswald had dreaded it would be. But...

[That was a good first kiss.]
