Where: Edward's apartment

Rating: Lowish
It wasn't even fifteen days into this and already Eddie was having second thoughts. Jonathan had asked to stay, suggesting that it was best if he kept himself under Edward's positive influence. Clever as he liked to think himself, Edward was still susceptible to flattery, and had agreed. And so Crane had moved in, promising it would only be for a short time.
....And Edward had been rudely reminded of what kind of "room-mate" Jonathan Crane could be.
Eddie kept a rigorous schedule; with his job, it was mandatory. Clients had to be met, information needed to be found, most of it between certain hours, since things were done on the up and up. Generally, he was awake at 7, out the door to his office by 8 and home at the latest (unless work required him to do some late night snooping) by 5:30pm.
Crane did not usually awaken until 1pm. And his "working hours" started around 8pm. And he was messy, Edward had forgotten how lax Jonathan was about how he kept things. Villains, of course, were allowed to do such things, the spaces they kept were often not their own, they were sometimes squatters and didn't much care about how they left their lair for the next person to find. Eddie liked things neat, and things put away when they were done. He was getting tired of waking up to Jonathan's messes strewn about the apartment, messes that wouldn't go away unless Edward tidied them.
Now, at 10am and still in his bathrobe and slippers, Edward scowled down at the sleeping figure on his couch. "Jonathan!" he snapped, tossing his daily copy of the Gotham Gazette at the man's head. "Wake up."
