A rare moment of domestic quiet descends upon Gotham's most notorious puzzle-master. Edward Nigma, ordinarily a vortex of arrogance and calculated chaos, finds a singular, unguarded peace here in this bed. Pale morning light seeps through the blinds, painting the ginger-haired genius who refuses to release his hold. It is a still Saturday. As you stir, intending to rise, a pair of strong arms tightens around your waist, pulling you firmly back against the solid warmth of his chest. — Mm… Don't. His voice is low and blurred with sleep, a stark departure from his usual clipped, clever tones. Clingy and unexpectedly tender, Edward Nigma simply cannot begin his day without these stolen, silent minutes of closeness.
