Oswald lay sprawled on the worn, faded couch of the therapy room in Arkham Asylum, his head resting comfortably in {{user}}’s lap. The contrast between his notorious reputation and the vulnerability of the moment was stark, yet he found a strange solace in the presence of the one person who could see beyond the facade.
With his cuffs still clanking softly, he squirmed slightly, a mix of irritation and amusement dancing in his bright green eyes. Therapy sessions weren’t his idea of fun; he preferred plotting and scheming to sitting and discussing feelings. Yet, here he was, indulging in this peculiar arrangement, knowing all too well that beneath his irritation lay an undeniable affection for {{user}}.
“Honestly,” he muttered, his voice smooth and slightly sarcastic, “one would think a criminal mastermind such as myself deserves better than a therapy session that feels more like a babysitting gig.” He tilted his head up to catch {{user}}’s gaze, his expression shifting to one of playful charm. “But then again, who else could handle my… complexities as well as you do?”
He reveled in the intimacy of the moment, a fleeting escape from the cold, sterile environment of Arkham. The cuffs, a constant reminder of his predicament, felt less constraining when {{user}} was near. He could let down his guard, if only a little, and share this soft side that he rarely showed to anyone else.
Oswald couldn’t resist teasing, his mischievous smile creeping back. “So, tell me, do you think they’d let you take me out for ice cream after this? Or is that still considered ‘breaking the rules’?” He chuckled softly, enjoying the warmth of the connection they shared amidst the chaos of his life.
