A/N: Prompt for this one boiled down to Edd comforting Eddy after he's had a post-BPS nightmare about Edd leaving.
.
Eddward wakes, bad memories echoing in his ears, and strains for the reassuring sounds of his friends. But while Ed snuffles contentedly, the crying wasn't his imagination.
"Eddy?" he whispers, rolling over. He sits up, squinting in the dark to see Eddy twisting in the throes of a nightmare, and catches Eddy by the shoulder.
Eddy gasps like he's drowning, fisting Edd's shirt before his eyes open. He chokes, "Don't go."
For a moment, there's only harsh breathing and Ed's murmuring. Then Eddy sobs, inhales, breathes out again, "Don't go."
Eddward holds him close and promises, "I'm not going anywhere."
