“You saved me, my heroine!”
For a guy who almost got eaten, he looked way too pleased.
“That’s worthy of, well, an award, you know!” He tapped his split lip thoughtfully, lying on the ground as if nothing had happened. “Ah, Zero Year may be over, but I think it’s only fair for me to name a month after you. What do you say?”
His impractical coat was all messed up, his hat laying a little to the side, just as dirty and caked with snow.
“It’s january, isn’t it? It’s Amberary now! Maybe not for all of Gotham, but for me for sure.”
He grinned.
What the hell is he saying? Why bringing up those old words? Ridiculous. Amber failed to hold back surprise in her eyes, but she almost managed to stop herself from smiling in time. Almost. He noticed.
“… Get up.”
---------------------------
Long story short: Amber saved Ed from predators, and he decided to be extra with his flirting.
I remembered Edward's words from “Zero Year” about naming months after gothamites heroes and an idea came to me… This scene will definitely be in a fanfic, for which I have an underdeveloped idea, and which I will definitely not write. %)
In any case, this is roughly how I imagine ZY!Eddie flirting, in addition to all the other headcanons. My vision of him is too different from how most of the fandom sees him . xD
I’m trying to jump above my head again, not having the skill in background, clothes, drapery, and full body, especially since I almost never drew two interacting characters. My most ambitious work so far. But I’m happy!
