Hello and welcome back to the second chapter of 'Eternal Love.' I would like to thank everyone who reviewed. Thank you for sharing your opinions with me! Oh and since my best friend Yavi (some know her as the author: Myv 382) is practically living with me she's agreed to help me write this Fic! So two for the price of one! Also we've been brainstorming (who knew we could use our brains?) and are currently debating on a special surprise further along in the story but for now it's hush hush!
Disclaimer: We don't own anything mentioned in this story!
While Edward was asleep I cleaned and fixed the house. The others had gone shopping to get all the things a human would need. We all stood in the kitchen cooking dinner. It seems that if you cant even eat then cooking is impossible. After we had finally finished cooking we began setting the table, only to be interrupted by the sound of a yawn. We all looked over to see Edward standing in the doorway. He was wearing some of my old loose pants and an old white shirt. I smiled when I noticed the shirt was too big but the thing that made me chuckle was the fact that the pants were bunched up and tied at the side with a rubber band. We stood in silence and watched as he ran his hand through his long golden locks. The silence was broken when a loud roar sounded from Ed's stomach, causing him to turn an adorable pink. I laughed and motioned him over to the table. "Come on. Your foods done."
We all sat at the table pretending to eat so Ed wouldn't get suspicious. Edward was eating silently to himself when he finally spoke up. "I know what you are." At this confession everyone's eyes grew wide. "W-what?" I asked ,failing to sound calm. "I heard you both talking outside the door. Plus she yelled it pretty loud so it wasn't hard to hear." He chuckled and continued to eat. "For people who are known for their stealth and secrets you really can blab." We all glanced at each other before turning back to Edward. "Aren't you scared or freaked out?" Jean asked. Edward stopped eating and lowered his head. "You're nothing compared to the people I've seen the past few weeks. Besides I'm far off from normal myself so I have no right to judge." He replied softly. It was silent until we heard a sigh. We all looked over to see Riza pouting at the other end of the table. "Well if you're gonna stay here I guess we'd better introduce ourselves." In return she was given a beautiful smile by the boy.
~A moment in Ed's childhood~
I watched as he hesitated to cross the street. He had been standing there for a good twenty minutes. After awhile I had an idea. I casually strolled up beside him. "You seem a bit scared. Are you alright?" I asked as I looked down at the six year old. He looked up and blushed. He started to fiddle with anything his tiny hands could grab; Hair, backpack, clothes and ect. "This is the first time I've walked home from school alone." He whispered softly. I made funny gestures as I pretended to think, causing an adorable giggle to come from the boy. "Well you're going this way and I'm going this way so how about we go this way together?" I asked with a smile. He nodded with a bright smile on his face. As we were about to cross he tugged at my shirt. I looked down at him with a questioning look. He wrapped his tiny hand around mine and clung on to me. "We need to hold hands. It's a rule." He stated seriously. I laughed and ruffled his hair. We talked about any and everything as we walked to his house. He suddenly stopped and I noticed we had made it to his house. I had been dreading this moment, I don't want to let him go. He turned and smiled at me. "Thank you for walking me home!" He said happily. I smiled and gave a small nod. As he walked up to his front door I called for him. He stopped and turned to face me. I couldn't tell him how much I loved him so I picked something casual. "Good luck with that loose tooth,buddy." He nodded happily and walked inside. Every step I took leading away from him caused my heart to ache.
~Present Day~
We spent hours talking and we all hit it off really well. It was like Edward had been with us since the beginning. It wasn't until Ed started to yawn that we had to stop. He hugged and thanked everyone then asked if I would walk with him to his room. We walked down the hallway in silence. He suddenly stopped walking and tugged on my shirt. I looked over at him with a questioning look. He blushed and looked away. "I-I'm kinda nervous when staying in new places so I was wondering if I could sleep in your room." He looked up at me with bright gold eyes. "near you." He added with a whisper. I was shocked to say the least. I've known him for years but he doesn't know that so him taking up with me so quickly was a dream come true. I was speechless so I just nodded. He wrapped his hand around mine and clung on to me."We need to hold hands. It's a rule." He stated seriously.
I was reading a book while he laid on my bed. I looked up and noticed he was staring at me. I closed and set aside my book. "May I help you?" I asked playfully. He blushed and covered his head with the covers. "Can you lay down with me until I fall asleep?" He mumbled from under the blanket. My head was running wild with thoughts. I shouldn't do this but for some reason my body wasn't listening and continued to crawl in next to him. He instantly cuddled up next to me. "I'm sorry. I know you don't sleep but I just really need someone right now." He said as he laid his head on my chest. I wrapped my arms around him protectively and held on tight. "How can you trust me so easily?" I asked softly as I breathed in his heavenly scent. "I feel like I've know you my whole life. I feel safe, you wouldn't hurt me." He slurred as his eyes closed and breathing slowed. We stayed the whole night like that. It was the most amazing feeling in the world. I kissed he top of his head and whispered. "I love you."
End of chapter 2. I know it sucks and we're sorry. I have the flu and I kinda might have given it to Yavi so both of us are not in the writing mood but as soon as we feel better we will make it up to you guys. Equivalent exchange: We write and you review.
Love, BartleBy & Yavi!
