Waiting Game (GOTHAM Zsasz and Penguin)

Slamming his wine-glass down so hard he shattered it Penguin fumbled for the wine bottle next to him, hands shaking as he took several big gulps before slamming down the now empty bottle.

“I need more…” His voice wavered, directing his slurred order to Zsasz, who had been cleaning his knives while staring at the distressed man across from him. “Get me more!”

“No. You’ve had enough.” The other male shook his head, watching as Oswald tried to pathetically get out of his seat to reach the unopened bottle, only to trip over his own feet and fall to the floor with a thud. Slowly setting his knife down Zsasz walked over and grabbed him by the arm, lifting the hysterical crime lord and depositing him back into his seat. “No more wine for you.”

“But I need it!” Penguin tried to sound like his normal self, but only ended up sounding like someone who had been crying for a while. Which he had been, but Zsasz didn’t really care about that, he only was there to make sure the idiot didn’t try and go after Galavan even though he barely escaped with his life a few days ago.

“No, what you need to do is sober up and think about what our next step will be. I understand, losing a mo-her was hard, but you need to move on so you can get the revenge you deserve.” Oswald looked like he was about to go for his gun, staring up at Zsasz before slumping back against his seat in defeat. The bald male nodded and returned to cleaning his weapons while Penguin was served some food, trying to come up with some sort of plan while he ate. Zsasz could only shake his head and waited for his next order, already itching to kill once more, and with how angry Penguin was it probably wouldn’t be too long. So he would wait.
