Pleasant Eds

Note: This might not stay up for long, it's just a four page long one sided slashy dream fic. Do enjoy. Flames will be peed on by… uh. Someone.

First, there was darkness. Then, there was Ed. The tall boy blinked, confused as to where he was, as well as why. Looking down, he saw no floor, and above there was no sky. He glanced around, fear beginning to creep up his spine.

"Guys…?" he called out softly at first. There was no response except that of the howling wind. "Eddy?" Ed called out clearer, but still not one answer. "Double-D!" Ed was beginning to worry now. "Sarah?" he added, wondering if his sister was here.

Dare he take a step? Maybe if he stepped, he'd fall. What if he was falling now, and just didn't know it? It's hard to tell if you're falling when you're only wearing y-fronts. Suddenly he felt something brush up against him.

"WAH!" Ed spun around, loosing his footing and landing on the 'ground' as you will. Stood over him was Double-D, who looked concerned for the falling Ed.

"Ed, you should be more careful." He said gently.

"Oh Double-D! Thank Goodness you're here!" Ed leapt to his feet; "It was so quiet and lonely in here! …where're we anyway?" Ed asked, glancing around.

"We're in your subconscious, Ed. You called me here, since I'm the one you usually like to be around when you're scared." Double-D explained. Ed blinked, narrowing an eye.

"Do not." Ed muttered.

"Do too; if not, I wouldn't be here then." Double-D pointed out.

"Oh." Ed stared blankly ahead for a while, then a flash of lights startled him and a scream filled the area. Ed squealed and leapt into Double-D's arms, surprisingly Double-D was able to hold him up. "What was that?!" he asked, clinging to Double-D.

"That, was probably your thoughts tumbling around in your mind." Double-D replied in a reassuring voice, before patting his back while still holding him up. "Nothing to be scared of." Ed felt odd. He never saw Double-D as a comforting sort, or the kind to make him feel better. He mostly made him feel confused. Safe, but confused.

"Uh, Double-D?" Ed asked.

"Yes Ed?" Double-D asked.

"You can put me down." Ed pointed down. Double-D blinked, then lowered Ed to the floor gently.

"Sorry about that. It's just you wanted me to hold you like that." Double-D shrugged.

"I did?" Ed asked, wide-eyed.

"Yes Ed; your mind automatically cried out to be held close and to be reassured. I am all too happy to do as you wish." Double-D smiled. Ed stared at him,

"Anything?" he asked.

"Yes Ed, anything." His hatted friend nodded, "Anything."

"Soo… you can fly?" Ed asked.

"If you want me to." Double-D replied, but before he could answer he found himself lifting off the ground, "Huh, well that's new." Ed giggled to himself as Double-D kept rising. He then grabbed his shoe and the two lifted up into the blackness.

"Whhhheeeeeeeeee it's like the abduction scene in 'It came from Beyond the Cheese'!" Ed cried out. The two kept on rising into the sky, until they broke through the blackness. Now, they were in a green field full of flowers. Double-D suddenly ducked behind a tree.

"…Double-D?" Ed called out. Scratching his head, a horse suddenly trotted up to him. It was a stallion, pure white with a black mane. "Horsy!" Ed declared happily and patted its nose. Any normal horse would have bolted at the cry and heavy pat, but this horse remained where it stood. Ed then leapt on, "Find Double-D, horsy!" he declared.

The stallion neighed proudly and took off in a fast pace gallop. Ed clung to the horses' mane as if they were reigns, enjoying the ride. The sun warmed his bare back, and there weren't any bugs flying into his face. Suddenly the horse stopped and pawed at the ground.

"Huh?" he glanced over the horses' head and saw in the valley below. Double-D was there, and he was… picking flowers? "Double-D!" Ed called out, waving his arm. Double-D raised his head and looked over his shoulder at Ed.

"Ed!" Double-D returned the cry. Ed slid off the horses back onto the grass, and began to run towards his hatted friend.

"Double-D, don't you run away like that!" Ed called out, wagging a finger as he ran along.

"Sorry Ed!" Double-D replied as he hurried towards Ed. The two met with a crash, Ed pushing Double-D into the grass causing the two boys to tumble over and over again until they came to a landing at the foot of the small hill. Ed laughed joyously as he had pinned Double-D down.

"Gotcha!" he squealed. Double-D laughed, and not his usual timid, or over the top sugar-rush laugh. It was a real, hearty laugh. Before Ed knew it, Double-D had grabbed Ed under the arms and hugged him tightly, pressing his head against Ed's chest.

"Aw Ed…" Double-D whispered happily. Ed blinked, not sure if he should be enjoying this or not, but what they hey. It was a dream; he could do and think whatever he wanted. Double-D then lifted his head and the two stared somewhat deeply into the others eyes.

Ed suddenly found himself leaning down towards Double-D, who had shut his eyes and partially opened his mouth. Just as the two were to meet-

"WAKE UP ED!"

Ed jolted and fell out of bed, crashing onto the floor below. Eddy stood over him, arms to his hips. "Well look who finally decided to wake up!" Eddy scowled.

"Heya Eddy!" Ed grinned, then saw that Double-D was running a finger across his only table, tsking at the mess. The sight of Double-D suddenly reminded Ed of what his dream was of, and what was to happen. Also he realised he had a… problem. He pulled his usually un-used blanket from under the bed and plopped it onto his lap. "What's up guys??" he asked, trying to ignore the feeling.

"What's up? The sun, suckers, everyone except you!" Eddy nagged.

"Well this is indeed a turn around." Double-D said, "Usually it's we who wake you, Eddy!"

"…aw darn, we coulda dog-piled him." Eddy muttered. Ed mentally sighed in relief that they hadn't. Probably would have been a very embarrassing and confusing situation.

"…can I get dressed guys?" Ed asked.

"What? Sure." Eddy said, motioning to the pile of clothes in the corner. Ed fought back a blush that was ready to set up camp on his face. Double-D glanced at Ed and saw the look, then looked to Eddy.

"I think Ed would want to dress by himself, Eddy." He explained.

"What, why? We've seen him in less then underwear!" Eddy snapped.

"Seriously Eddy… c'mon, let's go see if they've got anything for brunch." Double-D grabbed Eddy by the arm and tugged at it. Ed coulda hugged Double-D for coming to his aid, but he remained on the floor. Eddy groaned and pulled his arm free of Double-D.

"Ugh fine! You!" he pointed at Ed, "Be upstairs in five minutes!" with that, Eddy stormed up the stairs and was gone. Double-D began making his way up the stairs when Ed rushed up and grabbed his hand, the blanket still held in place with his other.

"Double-D?" he asked,

"Yes Ed?" Double-D asked. Ed stared at Double-D, wanting to have that look again. The look Double-D was giving him back in his dream, he'd even go so far as to say he wanted to hold Double-D beneath him again. But that look wasn't there now; instead Double-D just looked like normal. The eagerness to be of assistance to his friends with a hint of worry.

"…thanks." Ed smiled sadly.

"Oh don't mention it Ed!" Double-D waved a hand, "When you need your time alone, you need your time alone!" he thus patted Ed on the top of his head, a thing he could only do when he was on the stairs and Ed wasn't. Ed watched Double-D vanish up the stairs before turning back and looking at his bed, and then nervously looked down at himself under the blanket.

He just hoped this wouldn't happen again; he'd get too confused if it did.

[The End!]
