He pulls out and collapses beside me, we're laughing and panting breathlessly.

"Wow." I sigh in amazement "That was incredible." He smiles proudly, cuddling up beside me. "Goodnight, Ozzie." He whispers softly, falling asleep. I snuggle closer, wrapping an arm around his waist.

Ed POV

I wake up with a splitting headache and a slightly nauseous feeling. Shit, I really overdid it last night. I'm never drinking like that ever again

I open my eyes but hiss in pain and shut them again when I'm met with blazing sunlight. I slowly open them again slowly and look around the room the best I can without my glasses. Well, this isn't my room. What did I do last night?

I try to sit up but I'm stopped by an arm around my waist. I look down only to see a naked Oswald Cobblepot next to me. Well, shit, that's what I did last night...

More like who.

My head snaps towards the location of the noise. He's standing there in my green suit and that black bowler hat.

Well, we had fun last night, HAHAHAHA!!! Except for the hangover, thanks a lot, lightweight.

"Shut up, I'm not talking to you right now."

I know you weren't pretending that he was Isabella, y'know. It was all him up in here. Riddler says, tapping on his temple.

"Be. Quiet." I say shakily. I can't deal with him right now. No way in hell.

Oh, Oswald, please don't stop. Oswald, Oswald, Oswald, Oswald--

"I said ENOUGH!" I snap at him, sitting bolt upright. I put my hands over my ears, trying to drown him out. I don't even hear Oswald tiredly trying to get my attention. All I can hear is Riddler laughing at me and saying horrible things.

Oswald pulls my hands away from my ears, forcing me to look at him. Those big green eyes are wet with tears. Oh...

"Are you okay?" He says awkwardly, biting his lip. I don't even know how to answer that question. Am I okay???

"I don't know. I don't know what happened last night. I just know I'm never drinking like that again." I say shakily. Fuck...

He lets my hands go and looks down at the blankets, not daring to look at me. He says something, but it's too quiet for me to hear.

"What was that?" I say, turning more towards him.

"I love you." I he says quietly, squeezing his eyes shut. His hands are shaking.

He looks terrified...

Yeah, cause he knows you and Isabelle are a thing.

Isabelle-ah.

What did I say?

Nevermind.

"Oswald" I say quietly, taking his shaking hands in mine "I love you too..."
His green eyes light up.

Oh, God...he's so happy right now and I'm gonna rip his fucking heart out... damn

"As a friend." I add. His entire face drops, driving another dagger into my heart.

"I can't believe I let you into my bed last night. I was so stupid." Oswald says angrily, ripping his hands from my grasp.

"Oswald, there is a big difference between love and sex. Besides, it's not like I'm the first person you've ever been with." I say plainly.
