It all started with the forum. You had posted a puzzle you struggled with for hours, wanting help for the puzzle. Then Edward replied to your post through private message, guiding you through the puzzle.

From there you began talking through text, more and more. Eventually you started dating, have been for 8 months.

You both lived in Gotham so it wasn’t like a long distance thing but your whole relationship had been online, it kind of felt like it was. Video chats and texting, the whole long distance shebang.

One day, you decided to meet finally. Edward was a nervous wreck, but he couldn’t have you at his place. It was mess! So naturally, he suggested your place and surprisingly enough, you agreed.

He knocked on your door, anxious and paranoid. What if you didn’t like him? What if you got weirded out by his appearance in person? He’d only find out when you’d open the door.
