Riddle Me This

You use me every day but you've never paid for it. I'm truly yours, but I come from someone else. What am I? Your name. It's your name. Mine's Edward-- Nygma. Did you know blood comprises up to seven percent of a human's body weight? Well, maybe not yours. Not anymore. Don't worry, it's nothing personal. Independent multiship, multiverse RP blog for Edward Nygma from Fox's Gotham. I am not affiliated with Fox, DC, or Cory Michael Smith in any way.

         “ Yes I know, you’ve said that already, back at school remember? ”

     Oswald gave a shake of his head as he moved to sit himself up, legs still stretched out on the bed. His hands settled down on his lap as he leaned forward a little. He seemed to get so..excited, even if they were just riddles. They probably weren’t just riddles to him. This probably wasn’t the kind of thing he did every day but neither was it to Oswald. He’d never had a kid come back home with him, had a kid so genuinely happy to talk to him. The boy reminded him of almost a puppy.

        “ So what else do you like? ”

[enygmatiic-blog]

“Word puzzles.  Video games!  Anything that gets my brain working,” Ed answered.  He was still bouncing on the mattress as he spoke, just from being so excited to finally have someone listen.  “What about you?  What do you do outside of school?”

[enygmatiic-blog]

“I should be,” Ed said, smiling right back as he pulled back from the kiss.  “I’d like that very much.  My place?  I promise I’m a good cook.”

[the-nephilim999-blog]

“Your place sounds perfect.” She smiled. Getting up she grabbed her files and walked towards the door. “See you later.” She said spinning around to face him with a smile as she opened it and walked out.

[enygmatiic-blog]

Edward grinned as he watched her go, long after he was staring at a closed door. 

“I didn’t know you had that in you,” remarked a smooth, snide voice from behind him.  Ed’s smile faded instantly.  He didn’t even need to turn around to know who that voice belonged to.  “I can’t wait to see how you screw this up.”

“Leave me alone,” Ed warned his dark self.

The other Ed huffed a little laugh.  “You know, you could just let me handle this date.  She’ll probably stay around longer.”

“You stay away from Miss Mason,” Ed warned.

“Suit yourself.  But it’s only a matter of time before we’re back to pining after Kristen like the pathetic loser you are.”

[enygmatiic-blog]

Ed returned the sorrowful smile and gently took her hand in his.  “I promise, as long as you want me around, you won’t be.”

[the-nephilim999-blog]

“Such big promises Edward.” she smiled. Leaning forward she kissed his lips again. “I’ll let you get back to work. Perhaps we can grab dinner tomorrow night? If you’re finished solving this case.” she smiled.

[enygmatiic-blog]

“I should be,” Ed said, smiling right back as he pulled back from the kiss.  “I’d like that very much.  My place?  I promise I’m a good cook.”

[enygmatiic-blog]

Ed nodded in agreement.  “But that’s not always a good thing.  Case in point.”  He gestured to the body.  “Fear keeps us from doing things like jumping out ninth story windows.”

[the-nephilim999-blog]

“Suppose so.” Dru said looking over the body. She pinched her lips together in thought. “What do you fear?” she asked looking back at Ed.

[enygmatiic-blog]

Ed thought for a minute.  It was a pretty personal question, but something about Dru made him want to open up.  “Failure, most of all.  I guess a lot of people are, though.  What about you?”

[the-nephilim999-blog]

“Being alone.” she replied letting her eyes fall to her hands. “I’ve come to terms with the no happily ever after… but being alone forever…” she shook her head and looked back up at him with a sad smile. “That’s unbearable.”

[enygmatiic-blog]

Ed returned the sorrowful smile and gently took her hand in his.  “I promise, as long as you want me around, you won’t be.”

“Sometimes it’s hard to see the lines you’ve drawn until you’ve crossed them.”

“You’re surprised because you have a soft spot for hot blondes.”

“Is that – that’s a naked Scarlett Johansson on your fridge.”

“You can stay, but for no more than two nights.”

“Please don’t look in this drawer. Please.”

“I told you not to pick him up, he’s very sensitive.”

“Yes. I might have given you rabies. But in my defense, that’s ridiculous and I didn’t.”

“I’m sorry, my cell phone data coverage does not cover the bullshit zone you’re in.”

“Hey! Give me your pants. Quick, give me your pants.”

“No, I’m serious. Stop it right now or I won’t give you the last cookie.”

“You think I’m kidding. But I’ve never been more serious about anything in my entire life.”

“How much would a stripper cost and why so much?”

“I’m going to buy you a drink. Next week. On Thursday. When I get paid. Can you swing this one?”

“Hippos are hungry, hungry! And you are considerably larger than a small piece of lettuce!”

“When I was little, I used to be afraid of mummies. And now look at me. I love dead people!”

“I don’t even miss my ex-boyfriends/girlfriends, I just miss my glockenspiel.”

“It happens to everyone, you just sell your skirt for some coke.”

“Please do not pull your pants down in front of baby Jesus.”

“That’s not the phrasing you want to use.”

“Because nothing says heterosexuality like a gold sash.”

“Please don’t take it out on my boobs.”

“When it gets really windy I look like a bizarre combination of Marilyn Monroe and Cousin It.”

“We have to change our names and run away to Mexico. It’s the only way. Adios.”

“How much money do you have on you?”

“Please tell me that’s a raisin and not a tiny hamster shit you’re eating.”

“Life is a lot better when you put things on your head.”

“For someone who’s not very deep, I’m incredibly not shallow.”

FOR LOVERS;

“I need you to remind me what it feels like to love you.”

“I love you. What? No I don’t. Forget I said anything.”

“I need you to tickle my feet but like, sexually.”

“If we got married, would I have to take your last name? Or could we just make up a new one?”

“I don’t think I can do this anymore.”

“I heard you say his/her name in your sleep last night. Want to explain or should I just leave?”

“I want to spend the night with you tonight. But I also want to sleep on your side. And without you on the bed. So technically I just want your bed.”

“Please don’t be proposing to me in an empty parking lot.”

“Stop saying you’re sorry, you stupid fucking broken record. It’s done.”

“I’m not jealous, I’m curious. About the things you were doing. With him/her. Without me.”

“Your mother’s looks could kill. Actually, are you sure they haven’t before?”

“If you’re breaking up with me tonight, can I at least eat first?”

“Stop sweating. It’s not attractive during sex, and it’s not attractive now.”

“Are you – are you checking me out? In the line for the confessional?”

“We have to go. I might have told your mom I’m pregnant. I don’t know why I said that. I’m not.”

“So what you’re saying it that you’re snorting sugar to get excited for sex.”

“My dog licks better than you do.”

“But through every stupid thing you do and say – and those are a lot, by the way – I love you.”

“I don’t care if you’re growing another head. I’ll talk to both of them. I love you.”

“And I’d take fifty years of not talking to you for just a day of doing so. I promise that’s a compliment.”

“I don’t want to hide this anymore. I’m not some dirty little secret, you American Reject.”

“This is a bit too dramatic for my taste, so can we skip it and have sex instead?”

“I don’t want you to think of me as your personal sex toy.”

“Thanks and all, but that makes me feel like a low-class escort, so.”

“A kiss in exchange for every nice thing you say about me. Deal?”

“Promise me you’re not like him/her. I need to hear it from your mouth. Promise me.”

“Look, I’ve had my heart broken before. I’m not ready to let you in just yet. Anywhere.”

“Don’t leave me here. Anywhere else, okay, but not here.”

“I wish I could say that was the worst sex I ever had, but I’ve had worse.”

“I just blew you. Could you look a little happier about it?”

“I’m attracted to shiny things, so if it looks like I’m staring at your chest, it’s because I am.”

          “ Damn! No, no I don’t just hold on ”

      Oswald bit his lip gently, lightly chewing on it while he gave it some thought. He was going to figure out this riddle. Now try and backtrack through the riddle, maybe there was something he missed. There were the four rooms of guns, drowning, starvation, and electric chair. There were meaningless doors you went through to get to those. Then, there was the little important detail that he completely bypassed.

          “ Oh god I’m such an idiot. Death by electric chair, the power is OFF.                           –That one really stumped me, but you didn’t get me this time. ”

      He laughed lightly, turning his head on his pillow to smile gently up at the taller male.

[enygmatiic-blog]

Ed giggled wildly when Oswald answered him.  “Correct!”  He was actually bouncing on the mattress in his excitement.  “You’re good at this.  No one’s ever even bothered answering my riddles before.”  Had he said that already?  He’d probably said that already.  But he was just so happy to have someone who encouraged his greatest passion in his life at long last.

[enygmatiic-blog]

“I’m even more honored now.  I like you very much too, Mr. Penguin.”

[enygmatiic-blog]

"That was noisier than I thought it would be"

“That just adds to the thrill of the chase!”

[kiingpengu-deactivated20211020]

          “ What would I do without your optimism, Ed? Perhaps there may be other ways, but in a very limited scheme, now we really must do what we were here to do and slip out. ”

[enygmatiic-blog]

“I suppose so.”  He couldn’t deny that he was looking forward to the challenge, but Oswald was the mentor here.

[kiingpengu-deactivated20211020]

"For once, I feel nice about myself."

          “ Ed..Do you have something you wish to tell me, friend? For if you ever need to speak, I am willing to listen ”

[kiingpengu-deactivated20211020]

          “ Edward don’t get COCKY, there’s always a situation where you can’t quite slip out of, not so easily at least. ”

[enygmatiic-blog]

“Just because it’s not easy doesn’t mean it’s not possible. ”

[enygmatiic-blog]

" You are too tall. Get down here. "

“Maybe you’re just short.”

[kiingpengu-deactivated20211020]

      Oswald didn’t tend to let himself fall into his emotions, but at a time such as this, with the loss over his head, Ed was all he had left, and he wasn’t sure what he would do without him in his life. So cling as he must, he wasn’t going to let him get away from him, not if he could help it. 

          “ Good  ” 

[enygmatiic-blog]

Ed felt Oswald’s fingers tighten against his sweater, clinging even harder.  He felt so small and vulnerable, to the point where it felt like the former King of Gotham would shatter if Ed ever let go.  And for the first time in a long time, Ed wasn’t tempted to test that theory.  He held Oswald tighter, nuzzling his face into his hair and breathing in the other man’s salty sent.  “I’ve got you, Oswald... I’ve got you.”
