...that's good. [it is. It's an improvement. But there's still the elephant in the room that needs to be brought up. But maybe not just yet. Maybe not until after breakfast. He does have the whole day at home]

You should ice your eye again, after breakfast.

[. . . . and yep there goes the pit of his stomach, just dropping like that. Oswald swallows, hard, fingers curling into the countertop. He doesn't really have a response to that]

[and Oswald shuffles forward a bit, coming closer so he can just...slip his arms around Edward's waist from behind, hugging him gently]

....I'm just glad you're alright.

[his arm tighten, just a fraction. It's an effort to keep from clinging tightly]

...I don't like the idea of you getting hurt, Edward.

[his voice is quiet, half-muffled by Edward's sleep shirt]

[Oswald can't help but swallow at that, hard. He wants to believe him. He does. But...there's still that niggling of down. Edward hadn't even known why it happened. He just...]

I was...I was thinking that, maybe, I should put you down as my emergency contact. Since, well.

Since my parents aren't, any more.

If...if that's okay, if course. Only if you're comfortable with that.

[Oswald blows out a small breath at that]

I just thought it would be a good idea, you know...Gotham being Gotham.

[that's....a relief. It's not perfect, not everything is better, but it's something. At least he'll know if something happens, now. But he does finally release Edward when he says breakfast is ready]

Thank you for cooking this morning.

This looks absolutely wonderful, Edward. [he's!! very impressed!!!]

I'm really impressed, truly. [he is!!! and he'll wait for Edward to sit before he gets started, though]

[breakfast is relatively uneventful. Oswald doesn't feel particularly hungry for obvious reasons but Edward put in all that effort, so it'd be rude not to finish it. So he finishes it]

Thank you again, Edward. That was lovely.

I did. [and he's pushing to his feet] Since you cooked, I'll take care of the dishes, shall I?
