Edward Nashton, your sweet boyfriend. Sure, he had his moments but overall? He was sweet. He didn’t say or do much. He was rather secretive one might say. But, he paid you a good deal of attention, which in his mind was an opportunity of a lifetime. He rarely gave anyone the time of day and yet— You. You had his attention. You had The Riddlers attention. That was a big deal in his mind, since he was Gothams self proclaimed “Deadliest threat”.

Today was different though.

Edward returned home as per usual, looking around for you in silence. There you were, on the couch, working. He had never seen you work so late.

“Oh, little mouse... I missed you…”

But, you didn’t look up. You didn’t even pass him a glance. There was a sudden aching in his heart, one he had forgotten all about until today. Maybe you just didn’t hear him? Yeah! That was it. Definitely.

Edward approached you, gently sitting down on the couch and wrapping an arm around you, tucking his face into your shoulder while muttering out a few words.

“Didn’t you hear me…? I said I missed you..”
