Anything for you

Oswald POV

I stand in the kitchen, making Ed's tea. I'm careful to not let it steep for too long, making it just right. I walk out to the living room, pausing momentarily to just stare at Edward and thank whatever God may be out there that my Edward is still alive.

I walk to the couch and hand him the tea, and he graciously accepts it, clearing his throat.

"It's ginger tea with honey. It's my mother's remedy for a sore throat." I say quietly, sitting beside him.

"Thank you, Oswald." He rasps hoarsley, coughing again.

I can't help but frown at the bruises on his throat. Why didn't he tell me his plans?

"Are you sure you don't need a doctor?"

"No. Thank you, I'll be fine." He says, coughing once more.

"Why didn't you tell me what you were planning?"

"Your shock when seeing Butch had to be genuine. The people had to believe it, and they did. And once again your the city's hero."

"But you were almost killed..." I say sadly.
I almost lost you, dumbass!

"And you saved me, again..."

He coughs again before looking at me with those chocolatey brown eyes.

"I hope you know, Oswald, I would do anything for you. You can always count on me." Ed says quietly, fervently. I slowly lean in, hugging him tight. I let a single happy tear fall from my eye. I just can't hold him close enough. I grip the fabric of his robe trying to hold him tighter. I suddenly realize what I already knew the whole time.

"I love you, Edward Nygma." I whisper softly.

I'm met with no answer for several moments. Then, to add to my doubt and anxiety, he pulls away, holding my head in his big strong long fingered hands, staring into my eyes.

"I love you too, Oswald. Always have, always will.." He whispered softly, leaning in once more. But this time he kisses me. I gasp and kiss back the best I can with zero experience. I moan softly, tugging on his soft beautiful hair. I feel his tongue licking against my lips, and I open my mouth enough for him to poke his tongue into my mouth. I raise my tongue, moaning at the feeling.

We're making out. Me and Edward Nygma are making out.

All too soon he pulls away.

"We should get you to your room." He says warmly, standing up and scooping me up in his arms. "Edward Nygma!" I try to sound affronted but it comes out all squeaky. He carries me up to my room laying me down gently on my bed. He quickly tucks me in under the covers before crawling in next to me. He holds me gently, kissing my forehead.

"I can't lose you Oswald... please, just listen to me. I'm usually right about these things. I knew something was off about Butch before I found out he was leading the red hoods." Ed says warmly, running his fingers through my hair.

"It's you I can't lose Ed. I would be lost without you." I say quietly, burying my nose in his chest, inhaling more of the intoxicating scent of Edward Nygma. I eventually fall asleep in Edward's arms, still thanking any and every God that exists that Edward is still with me.

That Edward loves me back.

I'd do anything for you too, Edward. You can always count on me.
