[icantalk710]

Last night's upper body workout with my trainer definitely had me ready for the sweaty high 💪🏽🏋🏽‍♂️😩😤

[imagine--if]

Dano!riddler with a criminal s/o who's just CHAOTIC AS HELL and he has to keep them from going too far with their plans 🥺 every other riddler fic seems to be about the reader calming him down, how would it work the other way around?

A/N: Yesssssfrwaskdf send me MORE 😍 I kind of made this into the reader being a villain too sooo 😛 Srsly, we need to make more riddler x readers where the reader isn't some innocent, normal citizen of Gotham and is a lil Harley Quinn, his perfect partner in crime 💚

Pairing: Dano!Riddler x reader (The Batman 2022)

Warnings: The Batman spoilers?? And ur badass self 😜

• Hehe mkay, this be a long one 😏

• The Riddler has his growing reputation, and so do you, though you're much more forward and energetic

• I'm talking paint bomb bullets and glitter bomb explosions that knock grown men out cold

• You'll smash in a store window at night because, well, that hoodie's kind of cute

• You and Eddie met when you were both after the same target, some jackass interfering with your plans

• So he's all ready with his duct tape when you suddenly saunter out the room with a pleased smirk, your followers/sidekicks sneaking around and slipping unnoticed out the building

• He just stares at you with wide eyes, taking in your smile and clothes and weapon slung over your shoulder

• And that's it. He's in love 😍

• Then you're suddenly out of sight, and an amused voice from behind makes him jump outta his skin as you raise a brow at him

• "Who're you looking for?"

• He literally can't find the words for a long moment, before forcing himself to compose himself

• "It looks like it's been dealt with..."

• "Oh. Kay. Well, see you around, Riddler."

• He's just like 😵⁉

• You're gonna go on your laptop and find a stream where he talks about you and your inspiring work after he's found out who you are and what you do on the internet

• He tracks you down to talk to you as Edward, and he's such a blushy mess as he stutters over his words to tell you how amazing it'd be for two likeminded people to work together

• You play around, like, "You asking me out?"

• "Yes- no! Yes?"

• Man's adorable hehe

• Needless to say, you two kickass

• He finds it so hot when you can take out a gang in a few blows of a bat or using whatever's closest as a weapon

• The whole thing's hilarious and exciting to you, and he finds your energy hilarious too

• But it's like-

• "N-no, we can't blow up his car..."

• "Why not? He rolled his eyes at me. Rude?!"

• You get riled up pretty easily with what you do, and if it looks like it might be getting out of hand, Ed's there to gently prompt you to the main goal or get rid of distractions and stuff

• He's trying to be super scary when he's streaming and everything, but you're in the background being sarcastic and random

• Riddler can't get mad at you though, cus it's you and he loves you and your craziness 💚

• You two work together so well, complete power couple ��🏼

• Sometimes he just stops in mid-kill to watch you handle your own victim in awe 😍

• "You... killed him... for me??"

• "Course I did! That's why it's called 'crazy love'."

• Edward's not used to anyone caring so much about him, and he lives for it, but if you think you can smother him with affection more than he will with you

• Pssh

• He usually comes to you for advice, sometimes even doing the completely crazy stuff that's not entirely serious

• This guy would do anything for you 🥰

masterlist

you had never wanted to turn out like all those bitter people who hate valentine‘s day and make fun of the happy, loving couples. love had been a concept so foreign and fantastical to you, you would still dream about your knight in shining armor coming on his white horse to sweep you off your feet.

now, many years later, you were still a stranger to the abstract notion of love and had lost hope that you would ever find a person who‘d be willing to stay by your side through thick and thin. meanwhile, every single one of your friends was in a loving and fulfilling relationship, some longer than the others, and you were the odd one out.

you did start to become bitter eventually. your friends either never had any time to dedicate to hanging out with you no more because they were spending their day with their partner or you‘d have be the third wheel, having to awkwardly witness them being all lovey-dovey and you’d feel more alone than ever.

throw a hardcore exam season around february 14th into the mix; what you get are some really unhappy people. you were living off of many cups of caffeine and maybe four hours of sleep a day. you didn‘t know how to give less than a hundred percent. you had always been expected to be perfect by your parents and never learned how to deal with failure. to you, getting a B already meant that you had failed as a person and it was hard to get rid of that mindset.

you could hear giggling from the room next to you. your roommate had her girlfriend over and they were currently distracting you from studying. you couldn‘t wait for them to go out for dinner later, leaving you to suffer alone in your misery but at least you wouldn‘t have to feel as lonely and pathetically single anymore, even if you‘d be, in fact, alone.

usually, there would be the option to go to the library or a cafè to study but those places were filled to the brim with couples at present. you had to learn the hard way the previous year when you went to the library to get some studying done but came out feeling miserable and locked yourself inside your room to cry for hours on end. you felt so unloveable.

you had now been blankly staring at your notes for half an hour, trying to absorb the information for the exam you had to take tomorrow but the letters on the pages meant barely nothing more than just words to you. your brain was tired but you didn‘t allow yourself to even take a short break. the right thing to do would have been to get something delicious to eat, fill your water bottle to stray hydrated and take a nap for about half an hour.

a knock sounded on your door and you bid the person inside. “i guess you guys are leaving now. have fun and eat well,“ you say, thinking it was your roommate telling you they were going out.

“she actually just left,“ sounded a voice that was clearly way too deep to belong to your friend. you turn your head and saw one of your male friends standing in the doorframe, smiling softly at you, dimples adorning the corners of his mouth.

“jungwon? i wasn‘t expecting you here today. did you need help with something? is there anything you have trouble understanding?“ jungwon was in the same course you had your exam in so your first thought was that he must have come to ask for your help. what other reason could there be? he surprised you by shaking his head, your attention falling to his soft hair bouncing cutely with the movement.

“actually, i came here just to see you.“ you pointed at yourself, eyebrows furrowed in confusion. the idea of jungwon coming to visit you soley for the sake of spending time together was perplexing.

he handed you a drink and a paper bag. intrigued, you opened it and saw a grilled cheese sandwich and a muffin. he must‘ve come to you straight after buying them because the food was still warm. upon further inspection, you noticed he had brought you your favorite drink as well and felt touched that he had cared to remember your usual order . you wouldn‘t necessarily say you guys were particularly close. you had known him since the start of the academic year and since you were seatmates you regularly chatted in class but your relationship generally didn‘t extend to the outside of the classroom. him standing inside your room felt surreal, as if he was an angel coming to visit you.

“i assumed you haven‘t had much to eat yet so i came to make sure you take at least something to you. i am not scared to use force and feed you myself if necessary,“ he announced and sat down on your bed, an expression in his eyes that could be interpreted as concern and … adoration? no, it couldn‘t be. you knew better than that.

you were starting to choke up at his kind words but you held yourself back. “jungwon, wow, that‘s really nice of you. i don‘t even know what to say. you shouldn‘t worry about me though! i‘m not that -“ hungry. you were interrupted by your stomach growling and only then you became aware that it had been hours since you last had something to eat. “nevermind.“ you laughed awkwardly and avoided eye contact. jungwon was watching you with an expression of concern written on his face.

“you should take a break. even if it‘s just for a few minutes. eat and drink. relax a bit. at this rate you‘re going to overwork yourself.“ “but if i take a break, i‘m just wasting time i could spend on studying and i might lose points on the exam because of that.“ your nails started scratching anxiously at your palms. jungwon sighed and took your hands in his to prevent you from further hurting yourself. if he noticed the heat creeping up into your cheeks, he didn‘t comment on it.

“if you exhaust yourself even more, you‘re going to end up not being able to concentrate at all and might lose even more points. but tell me, what would be so bad about having a few points less? i know that we tend to focus only on the results and we want to do well of course but it really is okay if we don‘t always get perfect scores. it‘s also fine if you fail. you don’t have to be invincible all the time. you put so much effort into studying, that should account for something too, shouldn‘t it? and i am so proud of you for all the things you‘ve achieved and worked hard on so far. and i‘m still going to be proud of you even if you don‘t do as well as you‘d like. and you should be proud of yourself too.“

his earnest words and expressions moved you and tears started to well in your eyes.

“i guess i never thought of it that way…“ you couldn‘t stop the tears from beginning to flow down your cheeks and it became increasingly harder for you to talk.

“i - i just feel…“ you didn’t know how to put your feelings into words. you started over. “thank you for telling me. it‘s great to have people tell you they believe in you but… to hear that it‘s okay to fail or not do as great for once is somehow much more comforting than any words of encouragement i‘ve ever heard. so… thank you.“ he leaned closer to gently brush away your tears. you turned away in embarrassment and roughly wiped your face with your sleeve.

“cry as much as you want, i‘m sure it relieves some stress as well. what do you think about going for some fresh air after you‘ve eaten? taking a walk is always a good idea and the weather is lovely today. we can revise some flashcards after, then you should be feeling more prepared for tomorrow. what do you think?“

“but don‘t you have something nicer to do, it‘s valentine‘s day after all? aren‘t you going on a date? if not, wouldn‘t you rather use the time to study than to hang out with me?“ you couldn‘t imagine someone like him not having a valentine‘s date. he was quite popular and well liked and you were sure you had heard some girl tell her friends about her plans of asking him out.

“there isn‘t anyone i‘d rather be with right now“ was his simple answer and he smiled sheepishly at you, as if he were saying make of that what you will. not wanting to pass up on an seemingly once in a lifetime opportunity to spend some alone time with him, you reluctantly nodded. i hope i won‘t regret it.

you offered to make him some ramen but he had already eaten so you ate your sandwich and muffin by yourself, listening attentively to jungwon talk about a movie he had recently watched with his friends. he had such a charming aura, he could talk about silverware for all that you cared and you‘d still hang on his every word.

the sun was already setting and painted the clouds in beautiful shades of pink and purple, making them appear like cotton candy. the fresh air seemed to fill your body with new life. the two of you quietly enjoyed just being outside. not even the lovestruck couples walking hand in hand annoyed you as much anymore now that you, too, had someone by your side.

jungwon eventually broke the comfortable silence. “you know, i used to absolutely despise every february 14th but, all of a sudden, valentine‘s day doesn‘t seem as atrocious anymore.“ you looked over at him in wonder.

“what changed?“ you asked curiously.

“you.”

his unexpected answer made your heart skip a beat. you paused in your tracks.

“spending this god forsaken day with you makes it feel like the greatest day of my life. to be honest, i wished to but wasn‘t sure if i should ask you on a valentine‘s date. i knew you were so occupied with studying, that’s why i came here so i could make sure you were okay. i don‘t care if you like me back or not but i do care that you take care of yourself and feel happy, so don‘t feel any pressure to give me an answer right now. i know this came completely out of the blue. not even i knew i'd be confessing when i left the house today.“

“i like you too,” you answered immediately to stop his rambling, not even giving yourself much time to think about it. as you said these words out loud you realized they were very much true. of course, you knew you admired jungwon, he was the epitome of perfection after all, but you only now seemed to come to terms with the fact that you, in fact, did like him way more than just as a friend.

“really?“ he asked and started in excitement. “i didn‘t want to get my hopes up but now i can‘t seem to stop smiling like an idiot.“ you laughed as he hid his face in his hands. he was so adorable. you couldn‘t hide your smile, the thought of this cute boy liking you made your insides feel all mushy. long forgotten was the exam as you admired the happy boy in front of you. the happy boy you who had a crush on you. of course, you‘d concentrate on this instead.

he extended his hand to yours, flashing you a cheerful smile. you put your palm in his and he instantly tightened his grip around your hand. you felt safe and sound.

“when exam season is over i‘m going to take you on a real date,“ he announced and you started walking back to your dorm while swinging your arms.

“as long as i‘m with you i don‘t care what we do.“ you didn‘t have to spend any money to have fun with him. as long as you were together you knew you‘d have a good time.

“great but i‘ll still invite you for lunch after the exam tomorrow!“

“sounds perfect.”

“i‘m sure you‘ll feel better by then. as long as you get enough sleep of course. after we revise the flashcards for a bit you should go to bed and get some rest. then you‘ll feel more energized and concentrated tomorrow.“

“i will,” you promised. “thank you for giving me more courage and getting me out of that bad headspace. and of course thank you for being so honest with me and telling me how you feel.”

“i‘ve been dying to confess but you make me feel so shy. i am more than happy that you feel the same way and i can‘t wait to see what the future holds in store for us.“

your revision session lasted about forty-five minutes but it felt like less time. you had a lot of fun and spending time with jungwon made you feel more relaxed and at ease.

when it was time for him to go, you both stood awkwardly in front of your door, silently looking at each other fondly.

“get home safe and sleep well,” you told him.

“you too. i hope you get plenty of rest for tomorrow. goodnight, y/n.” as he leans down, you close your eyes and he plants a kiss on your forehead. you couldn‘t help the big grin that started forming on your face and neither could jungwon.

“goodnight.“ it came out more like a whisper, you being still completely enchanted by his kiss.

when he left, you listened to his advice and tried to sleep early. your heart was pounding very loudly, not because of nervousness but because your head was filled with thoughts of jungwon and that little forehead kiss.

you came to think that valentine‘s day might not be that depressing after all. this was the first of many february 14ths you spent together until, eventually, he proposed to you a few years later on the same day while walking down the very path you had all those years ago.
