Your P.O.V =
The coffee cups in my hands were making them nice and warm as I walked up to my Dad's desk. I always try to make it a habit that when I'm downtown I would always pick up coffee for Dad and Jim and take it to them at the G.C.P.D building. It was my way of getting a little bet of extra time with my Dad that I normally wouldn't have. I did it not only for the extra family time but also to see some of the new cases they were working on. Dad never wanted me to get involved with serious matters such as this, but I'm too fascinated to look away. I don't know why but I am. My fascination only seems to grow with every case Dad gets into and knowing Gotham the cases keep on getting curiouser and curiouser. Dad is always against me becoming a detective. He always says that some of the cases are so bad that they stay with you, but that's not going to stop me from becoming an analyst. I think he has seen of much bad on the job and in the city that he forgets that he is doing good by putting the bad guys away. I love him and I respect him but that's not stopping me from proceeding.
As I started to draw closer and closer to his desk I noticed that my Dad was talking very seriously to both Jim and Edd . . . Oh my God there he is! God he's more handsome then I remember. With his hair nicely slicked back and with those glasses that complement the outline of his face and jaw. . . What the hell Y/n snap out of it! I know you've had a crush on Edd for the longest time, but just be cool and stop drooling over him! Ok just collect yourself and get a grip and go over there and act normal. I said to myself trying to give myself a pep talk as I was only steps away form them.
Edd was the first one to look my way while I was walking up behind my Dad. Edd's eyes seemed surprised and yet slightly happy all at once, which made my heart flutter. Oh my God he noticed me! Ok Y/n be cool. I reminded myself. "Hello Miss Bullock." Edd greeted me causing both my Father and Jim to turn around to face me. "Y/n what are you doing here?" My Dad with slight sternness in his voice. "I always bring you coffee when I'm downtown." I explain handing the drinks to Jim then Dad before continuing. "I'm sorry Edd if I knew you were going to be in I would have gotten one for you to." I admitted feeling a little bit guilty. That's quite alright Miss Bullock. How could you have known I would be here. . ." Edd paused for a few moments continuing to stare at me leaving all four of us in an awkward silence before adding. "Or what I take in my coffee." He finished with a hearty laugh. I just laughed with him trying to hide my blush while leaving Jim and Dad to envelop in the awkwardness. "Yeah that's true, and please call me y/n." I stated kindly but slightly timid. "Very well then Y/n." Edd tried out my name for the first time which only caused me to blush more. My father and Jim exchanged glances before my Father spoke up. "Thanks for the files Nigma but that's all we need for now." My Father stated almost coldly trying to shoo him away. "Oh ok then I'll get back to it then." Edd replied looking almost nervously at my Dad. "Yeah you do that Nigma." Dad said with the same tone before drinking his coffee. Edd nodded at my Dad and Jim then smiled briefly before turning and quickly walking back to the lab.
Once Edd was out of view I turned to my Father. "Why did you have to do that?" I asked aggravated. "The guy creeps me out, and especially don't want you hanging around him. It's awkward enough.." Dad bluntly stated. I just sigh and shake my head. "So what's new and exciting in Gotham today?" I asked about to pick up the big case file on the desk but before I could Dad put his hand on the file abruptly stopping me. "It's nothing you need to worry about Y/n." He stated sternly. "Oh come on Dad how bad can it be?" I asked kindheartedly trying to take his hand off. Only to have him press his hand down harder trapping the file. "It's bad." He said with such seriousness that it worried me a little. I need to know what Dad is getting himself into. With all of my strength I pry his hand off the file, picking it up and opening it enough to reveal the title 'The Goat Man Murders'! "No . . . No way. Dad you closed this case a long time ago why is this open?" I asked worried. I had every right to be worried. This is one of the cases that stayed with Dad. "We have reason to believe that there may be a copy cat mimicking the original Goat Man Murders." Jim added in calmly. Trying to calm my nerves no doubt. "That's why I need you to take extra precaution until this guy is caught. Ok?" "But Dad this guy only goes after wealth daughters of Gotham." "Yes I know but I'm on the case and I still worry."He explains. "Ok I will." I agree with him. There was no point in fighting with him when I know he's right. "I got to get back to work but I want you home." He said putting on his jacket. "Ok I'll go say hi to the Captin then I'll head home." I compromised. "Ok sounds good just call me when you get home ok?" He instructed coming towards me for a hug. "Ok." I agreed hugging back. "Love you." "I love you too Dad." We both let go and looked at eachother once more before Dad started to make his way to the stairs with Jim following. "It was nice seeing you again Y/n. Stay safe and thanks for the coffee." "No problem Jim. Hey take care of him for me?" "Will do." Jim smiled then turned around and headed for the front door.
As I watched them leave something else caught my attention out of the corner of my eye. I looked over to the side of the large room to see Edd standing in front of a group of detectives while they all seemed to be laughing and hollering at him. I watched in anger and sadness as Edd was being made fun of but quickly excused himself and scurried away. The group of detectives laughed some more before tossing the files given to then into the trash and walking away. I quickly made my way to the trash and pulled out the files before they could get dirty, and held them to my chest as I made my way down the hall and into the lab
. .
I knocked on the glass window of the door to the lab. I waited for an answer but there was none. I really hope he's ok. I thought opening the door trying to juggle the files, a cup of black coffee, and some sugar and cream packets. Oh no one's here. Maybe he went to go get something, I'll have to be quick. Trying very hard not to dirty the files as I made my way across the room to his desk. I put the mug of coffee that I made in the break room down first. Followed by the files and lastly the packets of sugar and cream that I was carrying on top of it. Maybe this will cheer him up. Oh almost forgot. I pull out a small plastic spoon and put it down beside the packets. I don't know what he takes in his coffee but I hope this is enough. I should leave a note. I grab a pen and start writing on a sticky note when I heard the door suddenly close, causing me to jump letting out a small yelp. I quickly turn around to see Edd shocked to see me. "Y/n what are you doing here?" I was caught a little off guard so I instantly became speechless. "Oh...um ... I.... um. I was on my way out and saw what happened with the group of detectives and I thought you could use a coffee." I stepped aside revealing the cup of coffee and a pile of packets on his desk. "I just brewed it but I didn't know what you took in your coffee so I brought some packets and spoon for you." I added finding it hard to talk or breath due to my heart pounding so fast. I watched as his mouth formed a nice smile showing off his white teeth and his cheek had a tent of red as he stared down at the desk. "Thank you Y/n that's very kind of you." He said walking towards me with some papers in his hand before pausing. "Are those the same files?" He asked looking down with a big smile only making me more nervous and flustered. "They. . . They threw them in the trash so I pulled them out before they could get dirty." I paused when his smile got wider and his eyes looked down into mine. "I knew they were important so I didn't want them to get ruined. . . Everything you do is important after all." I went on not being able to stop myself and the complements that just fell out of my mouth. Realizing what I just said I knew that it was best if I got before I say anything else that I might regret. "Anyway I should get going." I quickly stated as I walked past him and towards the door. "Y/n wait." I hear Edd say followed by a soft gental hand grab mine and turn me around. Edd was holding my hand and not seeming to let go any time soon. Holy shit! He's holding my hand! This is actually happening!" My heart was pounding in my chest when I noticed how close we were. "You know you really know how to make a day better. Your so kind and genuine. Thank you." "No problem. Any time really. But in all honestly you really don't need to thank me." we just stood there smiling at each other while staring into each others eyes. "But their is one thing I need from you." "Name it." "I need to know what you take in your coffee, because if a coffee makes you smile that wide. Well then I'm bringing you one everyday."
