It had been a peaceful dream for once in the passing weeks. Key word "had". Oswald woke up to a shriek and found no Ed in his bed. He launched himself out of bed and quickly wobbled down the stairs shouting for Edward. Once reaching the bottom he saw a flashing light come from the living room.
He grabbed his umbrella from the door and made his way slowly to the living room doorway. He carefully looked around and saw the TV switched on and still no Ed.
Oswald called out quietly "Ed?" He walked further into the room and saw Ed laying on the couch with a pillow covering his face. He sighed. He placed his umbrella on the desk nearby and then moved over to where Ed was laying.
"C'mon Ed. What's wrong?" He place his hand on the other man's shoulder and moved it to the pillow. Ed let him remove the cushion and penguin looked him over to ensure that he wasn't hurt. He let off a relieved sigh but was quickly replaced with a concerned look on his face.
"Ed what was that screaming before?" Riddler just slowly pointed to the TV and started to quietly laugh, "The game scared me"
Oswald looked and saw the pause screen on the monitor and chuckled, "You give me quite the scare, I was worried."
"Sorry Oswald." Ed lifted himself up and sat down next to him, putting an arm around his partner. "But in my defense it was terrifying" Oswald just hummed and rested his head on Ed's shoulder, "you know I could stay as your own personal moral support as you try to finish the game"
Edward turned towards Oswald and lifted him up, only to place him sitting between his legs and then wrapping his arms around the man. "That's better" Ed give the penguin a little smile and picked the controller back up and resumed the game.
Oswald flushed and snuggled into Ed, feeling his heart race as he was jumped scared once again.
