Chapter Text
“It’s really a shame,” remarked Edward. He stirred thoughtfully at his bowl of muffin batter before lifting out the spoon to take a taste.
Bruce dipped a finger into the batter and licked it clean. “Oh?”
“Bruce! That’s disgusting. Who knows where your hands have been?”
Winking cheekily, the taller man slid into his ‘Brucie’ voice. “No idea! Anyway, I’m dying to hear what the shame is, Mr. Nygma, don’t keep me waiting!”
“You really are disgusting. Anyway, Jervis asked me to lunch tomorrow.”
“Oh. Why’s that a shame?”
“Because I was terribly sorry to have to tell him that I already had plans for lunch.”
“Ah,” Bruce smiled. “You mean… at that waffle place you like? With, say, me and Steph?”
“Exactly.” Edward grabbed Bruce’s wrist before he could get into the batter again and handed him the spoon. “I'm almost drowning in remorse.”
"Maybe some maple syrup will fix that."
