A/N: My requests are open for more Riddler imagines/hcs π the guidelines link is here. Be sure to send in requests and follow me and stuff π
I legit nearly finished writing a fluff alphabet for Eddie yesterday and it just DELETED from my drafts π‘π so that was painful. Still wrote this anyways tho π€
β’ Lol where do I even start with this guy
β’ You'd meet him either in Arkham or somewhere like the diner he goes to
β’ You're the kind of person that's not afraid to get your hands dirty and isn't a stranger to the crime and killing in Gotham
β’ Eddie's quite a quiet guy, something no one would think anything of until he actually talks and that streak of insanity and chaos is laced in his words and in his eyes
β’ Needless to say, he was spellbound when he saw you
β’ Like??? You're so pretty and intelligent and observant and his dream partner hefkabfdfsv
β’ He may do some light stalking, since he's too shy to initiate anything, so it may be you who makes the first proper move
β’ After a few conversations and stuff, you'll be seeing a lot of him
β’ Probably hearing a lot of random riddles which he's ecstatic about when you get them right
β’ Still, he doesn't want to put you in danger with his Riddler world, but doesn't want to start a relationship where it's hidden until you ultimately find out and are hurt and stuff
β’ If you meet in Arkham, you'll know anyway, and he'll admire your determination and skills and power that got you there in the first place
β’ If not, he'd be somewhat nervous to admit it for fear of it driving you away, but it does nothing of the sort
β’ Once it's out in the open and he realises you accept it and like it and are willing to either be his partner in crime or in the background of things, he's so relieved and you two are inseparable. He's not giving you up anytime soon
β’ What he feels when he's with you is something he never really felt in all those awful years at the orphanage and being invisible to the world
β’ You're an ethereal being to him, and he doesn't know what the hecc he did to deserve you
β’ He's a fairly clingy man, affectionately and by wanting to make sure you're protected, so he'll come running if you need anything
β’ Expect to be in a crap ton of his streams and videos on social media, showing you off in your own villain persona disguise (if you have/want one)
β’ If you don't want to be then that's fine ofc
β’ I feel like loads of riddles about love and angels and beauty are gonna be thrown at his victims, and instead of accepting the actual answer it'll be your name π€
β’ You're the only one who can calm him down when he's screaming and getting hysterics over something, just by your presence or hugs and stuff
β’ Man's whipped ππ
β’ Ed getting introduced to hugs and cuddles and kisses is new for him, since he was never shown that attention and love, but after a little while of getting used to it he can't get enough
β’ Seriously
β’ He's a very affectionate guy and loves everything about you, because he be a simp
β’ God help anyone who tries to hurt or capture you
β’ He'll go absolutely mad and won't stop until you're safe and they're dealt with brutally
β’ You're crying? So's he
β’ I can just imagine there being some bleeding victim taped up in front of him, with only three chances (riddles) to live, and you're standing in front of him with his arms wrapped around you, his chin resting on your shoulder or head while he absentmindedly draws lazy patterns onto the skin of your arms or playing with your hair gently
β’ Complete power couple
β’ Aka, one of the GCPD and Batman's biggest problems
β’ I think I'm done π
β’ Eddie's such a soft, beautiful guy that's totally in love and MuSt Be PrOtEcTeD aT aLl CoStS
β’ Mkay now I'm done π
