Gotham Oneshots- Requests Are Open!

Arkham Knightmare

Oswald wakes to an empty bed and loud banging on his front door.

"I'm coming! Jeez, hold your horses, morons." Oswald says grumpily, walking down all those stairs and answering the door. There stands Jim Gordon, with an annoyed Harvey Bullock behind him.

"What's going on?"

"It's about Ed."

"Yes? Oh God...is he alright?! Is he hurt?! What happened, is he okay?!" Oswald begins to panic. 

"Calm down Oswald, he's fine. He was arrested this morning."

"Well, for what?!"

"The murder of Julia Olimp."

"I don't even know her."

"She was a bartender at Cherry's place. Was working there to put herself through college. She was studying to become a pediatrician." Harvey says roughly.

"Well I can assure you Edward didn't kill her! Whatever evidence you have was planted by the true killer!"

"Her blood is all over him. He was holding the knife used to practically gut her."

"Where is he?"

"He's at the police station right now. If we go right now you can catch him. Say goodbye before he's sent to prison." Harvey says quietly.

Oswald holds back a sob and follows the detectives, getting in the back of the squad car.

After about 20 agonizing minutes they arrive at the police station. Oswald hobbles in, not even giving a damn about the officers staring at him. He spots Ed sitting in a holding cell, sobbing softly all drenched in sweat and blood. Oswald runs up to the cell, gasping in shock.

"Ed!" Oswald calls out, clasping the bars.

"... Oswald?" Ed says quietly, tears staining his beautiful face.

"Ed, what happened? Why did you kill that girl?"

"I'm so sorry Oswald. Forgive me..."

"Why?"

"...I think I almost cheated on you. I was walking out of the bar with her and she pulled a knife, and I snapped. It was self defense at first but you know me, I can't stop at one stab and...I'm so sorry, Oswald, I'm so sorry..." Ed breaks down, holding Oswalds hand through the bars. Oswald sobs softly, putting a hand on Eds sweet face, wiping away the tears.

"We're gonna fight this, okay? You're not rotting in jail, not on my watch! I'll get you the best lawyer money can buy. I'm getting you out of this..."

"Oswald, I don--"

"Time's up, Nygma. Say goodbye to your boyfriend." A particularly gruff officer says loudly.

"Where are you taking him?" Oswald asks, confused.

"Arkham. He is insane, right?"

"No! You can't send him back there, no way in hell! He'll die in there!! No, he can't go back to that hellhole!!! EDWARD!!! NO!!!" Oswald breaks down even more as Edward is hauled off by the officers. Jim holds on to Oswald to keep him from attacking a police officer and being sent to Arkham too.

Oswald sobs into Jims chest, heart completely shattered by what just happened.

After a week goes by, Oswald finally musters the strength to visit Edward.

Edward looks like hell. All beaten up and bruised. His lip is busted up and he has two black eyes.

"Edward, I will get you out of here. I promise... I'm getting you a lawyer, we'll build a good case, we'll have you out of here in no time. Ed, I love you. You are not dying in here." Oswald sobs softly.

"I know. Just... know...I don't think I'll ever be the same...not after this..." Ed says quietly. Oswald gasps silently in overwhelming pain. He clasps Eds hand, tears streaming down his face.

"No touching the inmate!" The guard barks.

"Can't a man just hold his beloved boyfriends hand without some imbecile guard yelling at him?!" Oswald snaps, pain evident in his voice. Ed sobs softly, squeezing Oswalds hand.

"I love you so much Oswald...I don't know what I'd do without you..." Edward says quietly, sadness thick in his voice.

"Time's up!" The guard barks.

Ed stands up, staring at Oswald. The guard starts to lead Edward away, but Edward stops.

"One moment..." Ed looks at Oswald. He walks over to him, then wraps his arms around him tightly. He kisses him sweetly and passionately, but the guards are quick to rip them apart. Oswald sobs in despair, longing for just a few more seconds of contact. Suddenly the guard punches Ed hard in the gut, but Ed barely reacts, only gasps. The guard hauls him off, and the last thing Ed says to Oswald is

"They're torturing me..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oswald gasps, waking up in bed, but not alone.
He feels Ed by his side, his arm draped over Oswald. His legs tangled with Oswalds. Oswald lets out a huge sigh of relief and elation.

It was just a dream. No, a nightmare. My worst nightmare...my Edward was taken away from me...

Oswald holds Ed close, burying his face in Edwards chest. Ed wakes to find Oswald sobbing softly into his chest.
"Hey, did you have another nightmare, baby?" Ed says quietly, running his hands through Oswalds hair. Oswald sobs harder, clinging to Edward.
"I dreamt you were arrested for killing someone and you got thrown in Arkham and--"
Oswald is cut off by Ed shushing him. Ed pulls Oswalds face up to look at him. Ed wipes away the tears and kisses him.
"I'm not going anywhere, Oswald. You have nothing to worry about..." Ed says comfortingly, but Oswald only sobs harder.
"Promise me you'll never leave..." Oswald hiccups.
"I promise. I cross my heart. I swear it. There's no getting rid of me." Ed says warmly, locking pinky fingers with Oswald. Oswald giggles at Eds adorableness.
"I love it when you giggle, Oswald. It's adorable."
Oswald lays there gazing at Edward, eternally grateful that Edward is still here with him.
"Kiss me." Oswald says sweetly. Ed leans in and kisses Oswald passionately, tangling his fingers in Oswalds hair. After a moment they pull away, breathless.
"I love you Ed."
"I love you too Ozzie."

*Single solitary tear rolls down cheek*

I love them!

*Sobs a little*
