Oswaldxreader " If you love me let me go"

"If you love me let me go

If you love me let me go

'Cause these words are knives that often leave scars

The fear of falling apart

And truth be told, I never was yours

The fear, the fear of falling apart"

What seemed like years, was only a simple few months since Oswald became the King of Gotham. You were happy for him, hell you saw he was happy about it as well. He had defeated Fish and everything seemed like it was moving forward for a while..till you felt yourself walk, no,charge into a brick wall mentally and in your heart. You walked into you and Oswald's home, you sighed softly, sliding off your shoes, and setting your shoulder bag down. You gently ran a hand through your h/c as you walked towards his voice that echoed through the halls of your home. You went to go open the door when you heard not just his voice but many others. He was in a meeting, as what seemed to become the norm nowadays. You sighed softly as you as you turned on your heel, walking down the hall and towards your bedroom when you paused in your step, letting out a gasp as you got a brough idea.

" I know, I'll surprise my love with a hot meal and some romantic stuff! That should cheer him up a bit. My poor ozzy has been so stressed lately.." You thought to yourself as you bit your bottom lip softly.

You turned around once more and headed towards the kitchen. As quickly as you could, made up his favorite meal, pulled out your old record player that had rock and heavy metal band stickers covering the case, you opened it and played a soft violin album you had. You dimmed the lights, setting out tealight candles. In the center of the dining table you laid out a black, silk table cover, and light two red candles, with two glasses that you filled with the finest wine you could get at a short notice. You then quickly ran up stairs, slid out of your everyday outfit, pulled out your " little black dress", slid on black fishnet, thigh high stockings, and lastly pulled on black high heels. You then fixed your h/c, and put on some deep, red lipstick and some black smokey ,eyeshadow, finishing it off with 50's styled eyeliner. As you went back down stairs, you had just enough time to adjust your dress before you heard you love of your life call your name.

" Y/n, where are you my love?"

He called out as you heard his footsteps echo down the now empty hallways .You smiled softly as you called back in the sweetest voice you could speak in.

" I'm in the kitchen, Ozzy."

" Ah, my love dove what are you doing in h-"

He was cut off as he blue eyes widened at the scene placed out before him. You then walked over to him, watching his follow you, undressing you in his mind. You kissed his cheek as you then pulled back and placed your left hand on your hip, while reaching your right hand out to him, smiling softly while locking eyes with his.

" My dear, will you join me for dinner? I know you have been stressed lately and I wanted to give you a bit of a treat. "

With that Oswald took your right hand, quickly pulled you into his arms, placing soft kisses all over your f/c. Sending soft tingles all over your body as you felt your heart start to speed up it's beating in your chest, you also felt a rose colored blush creep across your cheeks. You both had your eyes closed as he slowly pulled back, making you both open your eye's, only to lock them onto each other's eye's once again.

" Of course my love dove."

~ Time Skip~

As you both were only have way through your dinner, you glanced down at your plate, starting to move around some veggies around your plate with your fork, which caught Oswald's attention.

" What's wrong?"

" Nothing Ozzy."

" You know you shouldn't lie to me...Y/N." He said as he leaned back in his chair and took a sip of his wine.

You let out a shaky sigh as you felt your chest tighten slightly and started to fidget with your napkin that was on your lap after setting your fork down. You then looked up and looked at Oswald. You then sat up straight and bit your lower lip hard, making you taste the bitter flavor of your own blood.

" Oswald.. You know I love you very much, it's just that I-"

" You what?, spit it out already." He said with a harsh tone that caused you to feel your breath get caught in your throat.

You know when his voice went into that tone, things would only go downhill from here.

" I- I think we need a break, I just..I don't feel the same flame we had in the start of our love for one another. For now, I-I am ..going to leave for a bit, if it's meant to be.. Then I'll come back. I-If you love me.. Let me go.."

You started to tear up as Oswald just stared at you, then slowly gripped his wine glass, letting out a dark, dry laugh.

" I-I'm sorry Y/N, what did you just say? I don't think..I heard you correctly." Oswald said with a dark grin that showed he was either going to snap or worse.

" I am leaving you, Oswald..I'm so sorry. I just can't wait here and pretend that i'm ok. I just can't do it. I am not just some toy to leave lying around for you to come back here and there to just play with for a bit before you get pulled away. "

Oswald set his glass down as you slowly stood up and went to go and leave, when suddenly you felt him grip your shoulders, turning you around to face him his eyes were watery as he cracked a weak smile. Trying not to let his true emotions through.

" Your joking right? This is just some dark joke you thought was funny. Yes? Yes.. Now we are going to sit back down and finish are dinner, after we will go to our room. We will laugh about this joke then fall asleep in each other's arms like always." He

said while nodding to himself, trying to reassure himself about what was happening.

With that you pulled away from him and shook your head, your own eye's started to sting from your heart that ached and your stomach starting to turn. You then cleared your throat and stood up straight, trying to act cold even though you knew the next words would leave scars on your heart forever.

" Oswald Cobblepot. I do not love you anymore, I am sorry."

With that being said your quickly turned your back towards Oswald, heading towards the door, feeling your heart strings start to feel like each one was snapping with each step you took away from him.
