A/N: Hopefully you're okay with these written as headcanons!
Oswald Cobblepot
Your safety had always been his number one priority
So he made you promise early on that if anything were to happen to him, you'd run far far away
He'd sacrifice his life for you, but he'd never want you to do the same
However, that promise was tested when you happened to be at the right place at the right time
You overheard some hushed voices around the corner
And although you would have normally ignored it, you heard your partner's name fall from their lips
They were discussing the next hit, and it happened to be the one person you weren't willing to risk
And so that fateful night, you ran towards Oswald's club, trying to get there to warn him before it was too late
But unfortunately, shots were already echoing throughout the air by the time you had arrived
You knew that if you ran in there, you'd be risking your life for his
You'd be breaking the vow you made
But as another shot rang out, the decision was made
You sprinted in the building and kept your head low
You searched everywhere until you saw a small trail of blood leading into a dark corner
On instinct, you followed it
And you immediately found Oswald propped up against the wall, a bloody wound in his shoulder
The moment his eyes found yours, his tired gaze became terrified
"No, no, no! Get out of here! Leave!" he yelled at you
You'd never seen him so angry with you before
"I'm getting you out of here!" you replied
You helped him up and despite his fear, he let you do so
You managed to lead him out the back, thankful for the first time ever that the GCPD were there to distract the gunmen
And the moment you had him outside, he was pulling away from you, staring at you with wide eyes
"What the hell were you thinking? You were supposed to be at home! You could have gotten yourself killed!"
You began to tear up at this
"You could have died, Oswald!" you shouted back
"Better me than you!"
Your sobs finally broke through the night
"I can't lose you! Please, please, don't be mad..." your voice cracked
And with that, his anger dropped
"I-I'm sorry, my dear," his voice quiet, "I just don't know what I would do if something happened to you"
You shook your head, "And that's how I feel towards you"
He finally pulled you into a warm embrace with his good arm, shushing you
"You've saved my life in every way. I'm sorry"
You kissed him at that, finally beginning to lead him out of the alley
Edward Nygma
As intelligent as The Riddler was, there was still a part of him that was just Ed
The Ed who loved you and wanted to protect you at all costs
So when the police showed up one night and threatened to take you away to Arkham for helping him, he gave in
He turned himself in to protect you
You remember the screams and tears you let out, the cursing towards the police as they took him away
His sad eyes just stared back at you
That pain truly didn't compare to anything you had experienced in the past
He had already been to the asylum before, and he refused to have you endure everyone and everything there
That is why you knew you had to save him
He'd likely spend the rest of his life in there if nothing was done
Would he be upset? Yes
Would he likely berate you for being so careless? Absolutely
But you knew he'd do it for you
It took weeks of planning and meetings with some not-so-great people
But you found a way
During one of the guard's rotations, you planted the bomb on the nearest wall
And the moment it went off, all hell broke loose
Inmates were laughing and yelling as they sprinted through the hole
Guards were already shouting and beginning to make their way to the sight
But you waited
And right before it seemed doomed, he stepped through
His eyes found yours instantly, and you could see his eyes flash between disbelief, worry, and anger
He immediately began running with you until you were far enough away
And the moment you stopped, he gripped his hands around your arms
"You must be insane! What were you thinking?!" he spat at you
"I couldn't just let you rot in there!"
"Well, now you certainly have a warrant out against you! It wasn't worth it!"
You hugged him in response, the tears making it impossible to respond any further
"Please, Ed. You would have done the same for me."
He slightly relaxed at this, knowing you were right
"Just- please don't do something like this again. Promise me"
You looked up at him and slowly shook your, causing him to furrow his brows
"I can only make promises I'll keep, Ed," you softly smiled
