Hello Mr. E. Nigma

Uh little help?

Dedicated to Omdenman!! I'm just gonna let you know I keep trying to pronounce this and it keeps sounding like Abdomen. XD Thanks for the votes! Wow we just shot past 200! Yey!

Loreli's POV

I wake up and rub my eyes. Yawning, I stretch and climb out of bed discovering I had slept till 2 o'clock! Great way to waste a day, Loreli. I walk into my living room heading for my kitchen to find something for lunch.

"Morning, Sleeping Beauty." I jump at the familiar voice and turn around to face Edward, stitching his left shoulder up rather badly.

"Ed! What the heck? What happened to you?!" I quickly sit next to him examining his shoulder.

"What's it look like? I got shot, obviously. I took out the bullet, it's the trash. By the way you might want to turn these cushions over. There's kinda some blood on them." He laughed. I glared at him forcing him to be quiet.

"Whoever taught you how to stitch was an idiot." I mutter snatching away the needle and thread from him.

"Oh, and what makes you think you can do better?" He lifts a eyebrow with the same stupid 'I know everything grin'.

"My dad was a surgeon. He taught me some basic things." I tell him as I weave the needle and string through his skin.

"Was?" He questions, I ignore it, my past is none of his business. I finish with the stitching and cut the loose end off the string. I look at his beautiful brown eyes trying to remain like I could care less if he's here. That's when it struck me that he was missing his shirt. Awkward. I feel my face change into a harsh shade of red as I look away from his surprisingly built chest and strong arms. "What?" He asks clueless, or maybe he knows exactly what the problem is? Sounds like him.

"Uhmm, you- you should put a shirt on." I hear him laugh slightly as he takes his white shirt and puts it on, followed with him loosely putting his green question mark tie on.

"Better?" He asks gesturing to himself. I still blush, but lightly and nod.

"What happened? And why did you come here?" He gets up slightly holding onto his injured shoulder.

Edward's POV

I looks around her apartment, it was a cozy little place. Everything is somewhat in place. There are some dishes on her coffee table. And more dishes in her sink, a couple of unopened boxes and several just junk boxes. Her Tv is across from her sofa in the center of the living room and between is the coffee table. Beyond her living room right beside her Tv is a bar counter that looks into her white kitchen. "Well, Joker and Harley came up with a plan to leave a gift for the GCPD. It didn't go so well.... The lovely couple ditched, I got shot, and your place is closer than the warehouse." I wander over to the open bedroom door in the back left corner of the apartment. I look into her bedroom only to be stopped as she steps in front of me and closes her door. I smile at her but no smile is returned.

"So, uh, I guess your staying here?" Either it's just me or I can detect a small hint of hope in her voice.

"Why? Do you want me to?" I lean in, she cautiously backs up against her bedroom door. I chuckle, her timid nature is rather adorable. Her breathing becomes more unsteady as I come closer, our eyes never stray from each other's. Cruelly, I pull back, she doesn't want to be with me, I almost forgot that. The tension in the room is released a bit but it just leaves us with an awkward silence.

"I think that you shouldn't be going anywhere with a hole in your shoulder," Loreli whispers just loud enough for me to hear.

I look back at her smiling, "If you insist." I bow. Her face turns a light shade of pink when I accept her invitation.

"You hungry?" She asks shyly, making her way to the kitchen.

"Starved." I say, pulling up a bar stool to the bar counter. Loreli rummages through the pantry and fridge searching for a possible meal. She pulls out a can of tuna, noodles, cream of mushroom soup and an onion.

"How's tuna casserole sound?" She asks, I nod. "Care to help?" I hop off the stool and make my way around into the kitchen.

"What is my task miss Everhart?" Loreli pulls out a cutting board tray and lays it next to the sink then hands me a knife.

"Chop the onion." She commands.

"Great idea, give the vicious murder the knife." I mock, proceeding to chop the onion. Loreli shakes her head at me then starts to boil the noodles. Once she turns on the stove she walks over to radio and turns it on. And it is then that one if not the best song ever begins playing.

Ps: IDEK why. I was half asleep. And I thought this would be funny and cute.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide no escape from reality. Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see...

Loreli hums the tune and softly sings, "I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy." Then resumes to hum. Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low. Anyway the wind blows doesn't really matter to me...to me.

I finish chopping the onion with some tears in my eyes and decide to use the onion inflicted tears to my advantage, dramatically a rush up to Loreli and sing, "Mama, just killed a man. Put a gun up to his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead!" She giggles as I continue, "Mama, life had just begun. But now I've gone and thrown it all away!" I hold her hands tenderly, still continuing my act, "Mama, ooh. Didn't mean to make you cry, if I'm not back again this time tomorrow! Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters..." Loreli takes over.

"Too late, my time has come. Sent shivers down my spine. Body's aching all the time. Goodbye everybody, I've got to go! Got to leave you all behind and face the truth!" She smiles amusingly at me and I return the smile when we break into unison: Mama! Ooh! I don't want to die! Sometimes I wish I'd never been born at all!! I echo in the background, "Carry on, carry on." Loreli quickly turns off the stove noticing the noodles are done but nods her head to the small change in tune as she pours out the spare water in the sink.

Then she snaps around, "I see a little silhouetto of a man."

Scaramoche, Scaramoche, will you do the Fandango!?

Me: "Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me." Then we do a poor attempt at the next verse.

Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Figaro, Magnifico.

Loreli spins around to the already opened cream of mushroom soup and pours it into the noodles whilst singing, "I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me."

He's just a poor boy from a poor family, Spare him his life from this monstrosity!

Loreli's POV

Ed turns me around and fakely pleads, "Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?" I grab my stirring spoon a point it at him scolding.

"Bismillah! No, we will not let you go!"

Let him go!

Further in the song, we finally manage to get the casserole in the oven. Leading to my favorite part after I almost die laughing from Edward trying to do the high note on "me". The rocker part forces us to just dance around the kitchen, playing air guitar and laughing at each other's rocker faces. Ed spins me around a few times and we slide around the tiled floor with our socks.

Ooh, Baby, can't do this to me, baby! Just gotta get out! Just gotta get right outta here!

Now the song turns slow and somehow the dance turns into more of a waltz. But the strange thing is that I don't mind. I wrap my arms around neck and lay my head against his chest as his arms wrap around my waist.

Anyway the wind blows....

"So, you really think I have beautiful eyes?" Ed smiles down at me.

I smile against chest, "Don't get so full of yourself Riddler."

______________
So that was so fun to write! Be honest, how many of you were signing along? How many of you even know the song?
