A little bit of everything Multi Fandom Imagines

A little advice on women - Ed Nygma x Reader

                                                      >>--------------------------------------<<

The next day (Y/n) made her way into the GCPD, dodging officers that were taking people to cells, and trying to avoid any early morning questions from Gordon and Bullock. As much as she liked the two detectives, the thought of once again trying to explain the lifecycle of a housefly larvae on a dead body was too much for her today; she had spent a sleepless night thinking about Ed, annoyed that he could be so interested in a woman like Kristen Kringle, but more annoyed at herself that she hadn't had the guts to tell Ed how she felt about him.

As she reached the lab she stopped at the door, taking a deep breath and preparing herself for a day of having to listen to Ed gush about Kringle.

"Morning Ed. I've brought your coffee." She called out, expecting Ed to rush over and grab his king size cup from her hand as he would every morning.

When he didn't come, she looked around the lab; there were signs that he was there, but he was nowhere to be found.

With a silent chuckle and a shake of her head, she placed the coffees on the table and hung up her coat. As she returned to her desk (Y/n) noticed a small envelope addressed to her; opening it cautiously, she found a piece of paper with a riddle on it.

If you've got it you can't share it,

and if you've shared it you haven't got it.

What am I?

(Y/n) looked at the riddle for a moment; Ed asking her riddles was nothing new, he did it every day, but he had never left one like this before. She looked at the paper, thinking it over in her mind for a moment before a small smile came to her lips.

"You'll have to try better than that Ed, that was an easy one; the answer is A secret." (Y/n) called out with a chuckle, believing that wherever Ed was he would be able to hear her.

                                                     >>-----------------------------------<<

The day was proving to be a bizarre one, wherever she went Ed had just been there, whenever she had gone to do something, Ed had already done it, but she was still to see him, and despite her being accustomed to Ed's little quirks this was proving strange even for (Y/n).

As she sat at her desk completing some paperwork, she noticed something out of place sticking out from one of the draws, pulling it open she found a small posy of wildflowers, with a little note attached.

A simple thing, but it means so much

They will bloom all the more under your tender touch

As beautiful as these things may be

They are nothing compared to your smile to me.

(Y/n) couldn't help but smile sadly, as she breathed in the scent of the beautiful wild blooms before she placed them back in her draw; all she could do was presume that Ed had hidden them there so that he could give them to Kristen later, but as the blooms disappeared from sight, as she shut the draw, (Y/n) couldn't help but feel a little hurt that Ed would leave a token of love for another woman in her desk.

As the day came to an end (Y/n) couldn't wait to leave; for once Gotham had not given her any new bodies to work on, and the day had dragged, leaving her to her own thoughts, her mind going over the days events and the riddle and posy that she had found. Putting on her coat, (Y/n)'s hands instinctively went into her pockets, making sure that her house keys were still where she left them. Rummaging around, she found a piece of paper, written on it was another riddle.

You can touch me,

You can break me,

You should win me if you want to be mine.

What am I?

(Y/n)'s shoulders dropped, normally she loved Ed's riddles, but today wasn't a normal day, and she just wanted it over with.

"If you didn't know the answer (Y/n), it's a heart." Ed's voice coming from behind her.

(Y/n) spun around to see the man that she had been looking for all day, the posy of wildflowers in his hand and an adorable goofy smile on his lips.

"Ed! What the hell is going on? Where have you been all day?" (Y/n) asked, crossing her arms across her chest, and looking up at the tall man.

"My darling (Y/n), I'm sorry if I have gone about things in an unusual way, but I have something important to tell you. You were right that the answer to my first riddle was a secret, because that is what I have, but I wish to share it with you." Ed said handing (Y/n) the posy.

"My secret is that I think you are the most wonderful woman in the world (Y/n), you are sweet and kind, intelligent and beautiful. Your smile puts the beauty of those wildflowers to shame, and if you want it you have my heart, because I love you (Y/n)." Ed said, watching as the woman in front of him, stared at him wide eyed.

"Y-y-you mean that this is all for me, and not Kringle?" (Y/n) asked, shock evident in her voice.

Ed couldn't help but chuckle at her. "Of course (Y/n), you deserve all this and more; I just have one question to ask. Can you love a riddling fool?" Ed asked, as he moved to stand in front of her.

"Oh Ed!" (Y/n) exclaimed, throwing herself in his arms.

"I've loved a riddling fool for a long time, I've just been waiting for him to realise it." She told him, as she pulled him into a kiss.

As the two held one another tight, (Y/n) couldn't help but think that if she had known that a little advice on women would have led to this she would have told Ed a lot sooner.
