Re: 2/2

[enigmaster]

[It took a lot of effort for Edward to get here and the second Oswald asks that, the panic is back, and all he wants is to immediately take it back. Pretend this conversation never happened, walk out the door, maybe fake his death - it could work, maybe! - but...

He swallows and tries to steel himself. No backing down. He already said the words, so it's too late now. It's scary. But...

Not because he didn't mean it.]

Yes.

[There's the hard part out of the way.]

I mean, I... As I said, my experience in this area is lacking, to put it extremely lightly, and it's new to me, I always sort of thought love wasn't really real or at the very least I wasn't capable of it, but given new evidence and the fact that I don't know what else this could possibly be, I have to think that--

[He's rambling.

...He might not know how to stop.

You should probably say something and snap him out of it, Ozzy.]

[agoodname]

[Really, Edward, all he needed was the "yes."]

Edward.

[to get his attention, mostly. He'll wait until he's stopped babbling]

[enigmaster]

[Immediately, Edward's mouth snaps shut.]

[agoodname]

[and that's when the smile starts, spreading across his face in a way he can't stop, because he's just--he's really incredibly happy] I love you, too.

[enigmaster]

[Oswald had already said as much, multiple times. But every time he hears it it still feels unreal. And he's... Yep, Edward's blushing.] Oh. I... Right. Yes. Good. [He's usually good at talking but it's REALLY HARD NOW?]

[agoodname]

[Edward is just

so cute???

help

Also Oswald will return those couple steps he's taken, holding out a hand, obviously expecting him to take it.]

[enigmaster]

[Yeah, he's just going to follow Oswald's lead here for a bit, taking his hand.]

[agoodname]

[he'll tug Edward to his feet, then] Come here. [and then he'll just...gently pull him into a hug.]

[enigmaster]

[That... oh.

...That is very nice. And for once, Edward seems to actually... relax a little in the hug.]

[agoodname]

[Oswald is just going to wrap his arms around Edward's waist and bury his nose against his shoulder and hide his big, dopey smile there and he'll just...enjoy this. Enjoy knowing that--that he loves Edward. And, by some miracle or grace or randomness of the universe--who knows--Edward loves him.

Edward loves him]

[enigmaster]

[It's extremely nice and that's almost too much. It isn't where he expected this day to end up. Or any day. His heart is beating very quickly and he feels warm and it's so much.

So, of course, his mouth just starts moving, because that's how he copes.]

...For the record, I understand completely, since I am extremely lovable.

[Edward your self loathing ass is so full of it, don't ruin the moment.]

[agoodname]

[...okay yep there it is--and Oswald can't help but sputter out a laugh, leaning back just a touch so he can look up at him]

Duly noted, for the record. [you nerd.] How could I resist, clearly.

[enigmaster]

[He's red in the face again, now that Oswald's looking at him, but thankfully he has a lot of practice talking himself up.]

Obviously you can't. Really, it was inevitable.

[agoodname]

Completely inevitable. I just had to wait for you to catch up and realize it. [The corner of his mouth curls upwards, starting as a smirk, but morphing into a pleased smile] Also, for the record, you're very cute when you blush like that. [:>]

[enigmaster]

I-- [Edward sputters and, having no idea how to respond to that - because really, Oswald? - just ends up putting his head on Oswald's shoulder. The one way he could see to hide his face.] Shut up.

[agoodname]

[he can't help but laugh in response, lifting a hand to rest on the back of Edward's neck]

I'm simply stating the truth, Edward. [it's that tone of voice that says he knows exactly what he's doing and he's delighted to have the upper hand]

[enigmaster]

You're terrible.

[agoodname]

I'm incredibly clever, is what I am. [:>] You said so yourself. Also, I knifed Robin.

1/2

[enigmaster]

[And Edward laughs, despite himself.] You did, yes, fine. Call me when you knife Batman, will you?

2/2

[enigmaster]

That's a joke, don't do that.

[agoodname]

[he huffs at that] Boo. You're no fun. [definitely pouting]

[enigmaster]

I cannot stress enough how much you can't go knife Batman.

[agoodname]

Why not? [he definitely sounds sulky] It's the barest minimum of what he deserves.

[enigmaster]

Because I don't need the heart attack, Oswald.

[agoodname]

I've taken harder hits than that. [he huffs, resting his chin on Edward's shoulder, since he's low enough right now]
