Oswald woke up with a headache. He looked around him. He was in his bed at home. Cunfusion hit him like a ton of bricks, the realisation hit him. He remembered being dragged to the docks by Ed and being shot. He remembered everything.
"Whats going on? Why aren't i dead?" Oswald asked himself.
"Because I saved you. You're welcome" A voice said, coming into the room.
"Ed? What are you doing here?" Oswald asked.
"I realised I was wrong to blame you and try to kill you. I changed my mind and rescued you" Ed smiled.
"You shot me and tried to kill me. What makes you think thats ok?" Oswald said.
"Because we're friends" Ed smiled, he took a seat and continued "And because i came to realise that I actually love you aswell"
"I don't love you" Oswald replied, crossing his arms and frowning angrily.
"The irony" Ed smiled "Yesterday it was the other way around."
Oswald looked up to Ed confused. Ed smiled more.
"Yesterday?" Oswald repeated with confusion.
"You've been unconcious for a day" Ed smiled.
"Why do you keep smiling?" Oswald asked, looking at Ed weirdly.
"Because I'm happy that you're alive" Ed smiled.
"Where's the camera, audience or whatever" Oswald asked, looking around the room in confusment.
Ed looked at Oswald like hes crazy.
"I don't get it" Ed replied "This isn't a joke. I'm serious"
Oswald pulled back the covers and sat up, getting out of bed. He stood up and went for the door.
"Back to bed, you're still recovering" Ed said with concern in his voice.
"I'm fine, Ed" Oswald said moodily.
"I cannot be bought, but I can be stolen with one glance. I'm worthless to one but priceless to two. what am I?" Ed asked.
"I don't know. Love?" Oswald replied.
"Exactly" Ed smiled.
"Whats that got to do with anything?" Oswald asked, a frown on his face and arms crossed, again.
"It means I'm in love with you" Ed smiled.
"I don't trust you" Oswald replied, looking down at the bed.
"I don't blame you" Ed said, the smile disappearing frown his face.
The silence in the room lasted for what seemed like eternity. Oswald avoided eye contact. He wasn't sure whether to trust him, Ed could betray him again. He wanted this aswell. The silence was broken by a voice that entered the room.
"Nygma? Can I ask you someth-" The voice paused as it got to the room.
Ed and Oswald looked at the new person who was in slight shock.
"You told me he was dead. You lied to me!" The voice said.
"Barbara, how did you get in?" Ed asked.
"Why is the Penguin still alive!?" Barbara practically shreiked.
Oswald looked at Barbara with a smirk.
"I don't stay dead, I always find a way" Oswald smirked.
"I was told I was going to rule Gotham City. We tore down his empire and all you had to do was kill him but you can't complete such an easy task. Instead you decided to shoot him and then look after him!" Barbara said angrily.
"Guess you did a lot of hard work for nothing" Oswald smirked.
"Nygma, Kill him or We kill you" Barbara said, walking out of the mansion in a strop.
"I guess she will have to kill me then" Ed smiled.
"Who did you give keys to?" Oswald asked.
"No one, your house hasn't got any security" Ed replied.
Oswald sat up in the bed and looked at Ed. Ed pushed his glasses up his face more.
"Where are my clothes?" Oswald said, realising he was in pjamas and not in his suit.
"They were wet" Ed replied.
Oswald took a drink from the cup beside him. He looked at the drink in disgust before getting up again.
"What are you doing?" Ed asked.
"Getting a drink" Oswald replied.
Oswald grabbed a wine bottle and returned to bed. He drank the wine straight from the bottle. Ed grabbed the bottle and placed it on the side, earning a look from Oswald.
"Want to hear some riddles?" Ed asked, a smiled on his face.
"No" Oswald replied instantly, a moody look appeared on his face.
"I can fill a room or just one heart. Others may have me but I can not be shared" Ed asked joyfully.
Oswald sighed before looking up at E.
"I don't have the slightest clue" Oswald replied.
"the answer is Lonelines" Ed said.
"Is that it?" Oswald asked, crossing his arms for the millionth time today.
"Nope" Ed said "I can be a member of a group but I can never blend in."
"An individual?" Oswald asked, finally giving in.
"Correct. Your really good at these" Ed said joyfully.
"I've only answered one" Oswald said "Please say thats the last one"
"Wrong, still got a couple more" Ed said "I feel your every move, I know your every thought. I'm with you from birth and I'll see you when you rot."
"Your reflection" Oswald said.
Ed smiled, happy that he got Oswald to answer some of his riddles.
"I've got one more before i leave you alone for the night" Ed said with a smirk.
"Get on with it then" Oswald said.
Ed stood up from his chair and went closer to him.
"What is black and white and red all over?" Ed asked.
"I don't know" Oswald said, looking over at Ed.
"A blushing Penguin" Ed said, leaning towards Oswald and kissing him on the cheek.
Oswald blushed and watched leave the room.
