Prompt: You're Lazy
Rating: PG
Fandom: Crossover: Batman: Arkham City & Joker/Clover/Heart no Kuni no Alice
Characters: Edward Nygma (the Riddler), Alice Liddell
Pairing: Edward Nygma (the Riddler)/Alice Liddell
Summary: She understood the surprise the others must have felt when she made her decision because, honestly, she had been a bit surprised herself. But now it was starting to become clear why it was hard to believe that she had chosen him. : This is a response to the challenge, located at Lunaescene, called: 1o Little Things… by Katz Go Rawwwrr.

Author's Note: To be honest, this was originally going to be a Kingdom Hearts drabble collection. But who knows? I may still do this for Kingdom Hearts... maybe… if that's allowed… *ahem* Anyway, this prompt was a bit hard since Nygma seems to be anything but lazy. Yet I couldn't use it on Alice because she's not [really] lazy, either, hence the shortness of the chapter.
Warnings: Mild!OOC-ness(?)

He had given her a fair warning, albeit it was in the form of a riddle.
… Yet Alice never really was good at solving those, now was she?
"…"
Nygma, ignoring the young woman's reaction, stepped inside the command room to begin working on his next ingenious plan for his rival to take on.
For a genius, he sure isn't organized. Alice thought to herself as she, carefully, entered the room. Papers were strewn everywhere, mainly cluttered by the workbench to the left and it took her a moment to realize that there wasn't a bed. "… Would you like me to organize those papers for you?" She watched as he made a hand gesture, as if to say: "Do whatever you want. Just don't bother me; I'm busy."
When it came to anything and everything else, excluding his precious riddles and his obsession on defeating "the Bat", Alice learned that Edward Nygma was quite a lazy man when it came down to it.
