"I just don’t see how you do it, kid." Harvey Bullock, one of the detectives at Gotham PD stated to you bluntly.

"How I do what, Harvey?" You replied from your desk with a smirk, looking up at the gruff detective with a smug stare.

"Put up with Nygma, he’s…he’s-" he began to explain.

"Smart?" You asked, cutting him off, not quite appreciating how everyone treated him around here.

"I was gonna go for obnoxious." He complained, taking a seat at his desk across from you.

You only rolled your eyes at the statement, you could never quite comprehend why everyone here was always so hard on Ed. He had been your best friend for years and not once have you ever found him obnoxious.

A dork no doubt, but never obnoxious.

"Uhm. Excuse me [F/N]?" You heard a voice ask behind you.

"Speak of the devil." Harvey grumbled as he resumed his work, trying his hardest to block out the conversation.

"Oh, hey Eddie!" You exclaimed with a smile, turning your chair to greet your best friend.

"I found something that will help on the case!" He stated excitedly, a grin taking over his face as he set some papers on your desk.

"Aweso-" you attempted to compliment, before said papers were snatched off your desk by Harvey.

"Yeah, I’m the one who needs the papers, smartass." He stated, rolling his eyes as he began flipping through the pages, seemingly not caring.

"Well, I intended [F/N] to look through them first, actually…" Edward muttered under his breath, much preferring you look over them first.

Unlike most of the PD, you would always compliment his work and thank him, while most everyone else there only seemed to only want him to shut up and go away.

"Good job Ed." You replied with a small smile, as you looked up at him, not wanting Harvey's bluntness to bring down his mood at all.

He only gave his dorkish smile in return, before awkwardly turning away.

"Hey Ed before you do your whole, me complimenting you and you running off to do your smart person things, you wanna grab lunch or something?" You ask with a smile.

Your unsure why but Ed had been acting very off lately, normally he would get excited about explaining everything he figured out to you, which of course, you happliy listened to.

But instead he seemed to run off at random points, especially when you complimented him.

"Oh, sure." He replied erratically, quickly turning around to face you, his dorkish grin still spread eagerly across his face.

"Weirdos." You heard Harvey scoffed under his breath.

"Come on then, it's on me." You reply with a smile

“So Ed….” you asked slowly, as you awkwardly twirled your fork around in your food.

"Yes?" He asked eagerly, his head shooting up to face you.

"What’s been up with you?" You asked nervously, worried that perhaps you had said something wrong to him, in the past that had changed how he was acting around you.

"Oh, you know, solving things, reading things, oh, and I just found this amazing rid-" he began explaining, your question going straight over his head.

"No, i mean…how you’ve been acting…" you mumbled shyly, looking down at your barley eaten food.

"What are you talking about, [F/N]?" Edward asked with a confused head tilt, which you found quite frankly adorable.

"Ughh. Nothing just forget it…" you mutter as you set your head on the table with a whine.

"No! Come on, I mean you know I’ll figure it out anyway!" He replied jokingly, trying to lighten the mood.

You let out a small giggle. “Have you been avoiding me for a reason?” You ask bluntly, moving your head to stare up at Ed.

"I mean…I feel like when ever I see you, you keep randomly leaving! Sometimes even mid-sentence!" You exclaimed dramatically.

He in return, only stared back blankly, seemingly not knowing how to reply to your question.

"Please tell me..if..if I'm annoying you or something…." you mumbled.

"No! You could never annoy me!" He replied quickly, not wanting you to get the wrong idea.

"Then tell me Ed."

"I-I have to go…" he stuttered, attempting to leave the booth.

"Not so fast Ed, tell me" you stated bluntly, as you grabbed his tie, efficiently pulling him back to his seat.

He paused, contemplating how to proceed with the difficult situation. That is, before a wonderful idea struck him.

"It caused the destruction of Troy, The worst of tragedies And numerous maladies Yet it is chased, desired and fought for What is it?" He asked, giving you some intense puppy dog eyes.

A riddle? What are you thinking of course hes gonna explain with a riddle, this was Ed you were talking about here.

"Ok…let me think…" you muttered. "Destruction of troy…chased, desired, and fought for…"

As you thought allowed, ed stared nervously at you, hoping that the riddle would explain everything.

"Ah ha!" You exclaimed, it finally hitting you.

Ed’s eyes widened, nervously awaiting your answer.

"The answer is obviously love! But that doesn't explain anything." You reply blankly, the meaning going over your head.

Or so Ed thought.

You were pretty sure you knew full well what he was going on about but you first had to confirm your suspicious, before jumping to conclusions.

"Do you have a secret girlfriend or something? " you asked, faking your response.

"What? No!" He responded quickly. "I…I uhm…" he mumbled nervously, before slamming his head on the table.

A giggle escape d your lips, looks like you had to take matters into your own hands. “I’m joking Eddie. I got the riddle you silly dork.” You state with a smile, as you moved ed’s head to face yours.

"Y-you do?" He asks, a blush running across his face. "I mean…of course you do." He states nervously, as he adjusts his glasses.

"Eddie, you could have just told me." You reply with a giggle as you stand up to move to the other side of the booth, taking a seat next to Edward.

"What?" He asked blankly.

"Me, surprising you? That's a new one." You state with a grin, as you lean closer to Edward, giving him a small peck on the lips.

He only stared back in shock, his face heating up immensely.

"Eddie? You there? Earth to Eddie." You ask, waving a hand in front of the shocked dork in front of you.

"Ah…yes. I am" he replied as he nervously grabbed your hand.

"For a genius, you sure are a dork sometimes." You laughed lightly as you leaned onto his shoulder. "But your my dork."
