    Summary

    Ed had always had a problem with personal space.

    He never really noticed it. He assumed that if he did then he wouldn't have the problem in the first place, but alas he didn't, so it wasn't exactly a rare occurrence when people backed up from him or asked him to step away. Comments like 'why are you breathing down my neck?' or 'could you move, Ed?' were commonplace enough to not even cause offense.

    That is to say, he wasn't all that surprised when, upon first meeting the Penguin, the mobster told him that he was standing too close.

    Summary

    As much as he missed the taste of fine wine and wagyu beef, he had to admit that he'd come to love these dinners. At this point, he couldn't even look at canned fruit without heat threatening to flood his cheeks.

    It was just the proximity, the ambiance from the lit candles. The atmosphere put him in a dreadfully romantic headspace and occasionally it made him forget himself.

    For example, the first thought he had when he sat across the table from Ed — wine glasses filled with purified water and expensive cutlery stolen from Aubrey James' residence — was that the yellow glow made him look terribly attractive.

    Summary

    A week and a half he’d kept his company — nine days to be exact. Oswald couldn’t exactly remember the first couple, lost in a haze of fever, and the next few were fraught with tense mistrust, but by this point, he could hesitantly say that this abandoned factory-turned-eccentric’s-apartment was rather comfortable.

    The bed especially.

    Caught in a nighttime haze, Ed and Oswald use each other for a moment of intimacy, but, with both of them having very different ideas of what intimacy means, they never realize that they're not exactly on the same page.
