Nygmobblepot engagement/wedding fic, yay!!!
Edward POV
God, I'm nervous. I never realized how nerve-wracking proposing could be. I mean, he'll most likely say yes, but who knows?! All I know is, I love him. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. He makes me so happy, I...I can't believe he's real. That's why tonight...I'm asking him to spend the rest of his life with me...as my husband.
We walk hand-in-hand down the street in the diamond district after dinner at chez parnasse. It's nearing Christmas time so the buildings all have elegant white Christmas lights in the windows. Even the small trees on the curb and the lamp posts have lights around them. As we're walking it starts to snow, but only a flurry, nothing bad. I'm thankful I have my coat on because it's pretty damn cold. But not frostbite cold, at least. This city looks so gorgeous in the winter, with the decorations all around. But nothing is more beautiful than him...
Suddenly a snowball hits me out of nowhere. I look up to see who struck me only to see...
"What are you doing in the diamond district, Selina?"
"Nothing...just working."
"And you decided to pelt me with a snowball? Isn't that a tad immature?"
"Maybe I just wanted to throw something at someone." She says snidely, walking off on the opposite side of the street.
I roll my eyes as me and Oswald continue walking down the street.
"It's so beautiful this time of year, Ed."
"Yeah it is..." I say quietly, gazing at him.
"Stop it..." He giggles, blushing bright pink.
"I won't stop it. I love you."
Ugh, just ask him already before I do...
"Um, in fact... there's something I've been meaning to ask you..."
"Anything. You can ask me anything, my love..." He says warmly.
We've stopped walking, and now I'm standing here like an idiot not knowing what the hell to say.
"Oswald, you are my best friend, you make me so happy. I am forever grateful that I can wake up every morning and have this face be the first thing I see. I want to wake up every morning beside you for the rest of my life. Guess what I'm saying is..."
I drop to one knee and pull out the ring box from my jacket pocket. He gasps and clasps his hands over his mouth, eyes wide open with shock. I'm not sure if that's a good thing...
"Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot, will you marry me?"
He stands there in complete shock, staring at me with wide eyes. A single tear falls from his eye and I can see that he's breathing shakily.
Please say yes... please...
Oswald POV
I'm in shock. Edward Nygma is asking me to marry him. The love of my life is asking me to marry him. Oh my God, this is so shocking. Oh...my heart is pounding a 1000 miles a minute.
I realize I haven't said anything yet. It's been nearly a whole minute and I haven't said a thing!
"Oh, my God, yes..." I say quietly, tears of pure joy streaming down my face.
He lets out a relieved sigh and stands up, sliding the beautiful platinum band onto my finger. It's gorgeous, with a simple yet elegant emerald set in the center. It's the most beautiful ring I've ever seen. And he's the most beautiful person I've ever seen.
"I love you so much Oswald Cobblepot..." He says warmly, pulling me into a warm kiss.
I hear people cheering on the background. I look up to see Zsasz, Barbara, Butch, Tabitha, Jim, Ivy, Selina, and Gabe standing there.
Ed planned this...
"Hey, congratulations, Pengy!" Ivy says happily, running over and hugging me tight. Barbara comes over for a hug as well. Butch is watching from a distance beside Tabitha. I don't even care about that imbecile standing there, I'm too happy about me and Ed being engaged!
"I can't wait to plan a wedding with you!" Barbara says excitedly.
"For now, let's get out of the damn cold, I'm freezing!" Selina says quietly, adding a shiver for effect.
Gabe gets in the driver's seat of the limousine they came down here in. We all pile in the back. It's a bit awkward given everyone in this car has tried to kill each other once or twice, meaning a couple of hundred times.
"Hey, congratulations, Oswald. At least you'll have someone else to bother all the time." Jim says.
"Jim!" Barbara scolds, scoffing.
"What?" Jim says, and Barbara rolls her eyes.
Once we're back at the mansion, we sit in the living room drinking champagne for a while. Jim left after only 20 minutes after Harvey called him about the murder of a wealthy doctor and his wife. The husband killed himself and the wife was stabbed and buried in the backyard.
After a couple hours everyone left. I'm sure Selina stole something but it's no matter.
All I need is Edward....
I'm gonna do a part 2 because it's getting pretty long...
