This story is loosely based on the Korean Drama, 1% of Anything, because I added more twists, so, uh, yeah.

I've updated 4 days earlier! See what I told ya? *wink*

Thanks for the MANY reviews! Sorry I can't mention you one by one but I love yah all! ;)

Thanks for the alerts and faves too. :*

I'm back to multiple POVs! :o))

Disclaimer: I don't own TWILIGHT or 1% of Anything.

EPOV

I quietly lie beside her. She pushed the pillow she's cuddling earlier and absently placed her arms around me.

"Mhmm." She hummed.

"Bella." I mumbled.

"Ed- Edwar- Edward." She whispered.

"I'm right here, love."

"It. It. Hurts." She whimpered.

I frowned. "If there's something I can do, my love, I'll do it. If I can only take your pain and make it mine, love, If only I can somehow transfer that pain so you'll be alright." I murmured agonizingly.

"Love." She smiled.

I looked at her. Yep, still sleeping.

"Yes, Isabella, love." I smiled back, knowing full well she can't see or hear me.

I kept touching her silky tresses, tracing her beautiful face, drawing invisible patterns on her arms using my fingers, carefully massaging her lower abdomen.

"Pain, pain, go away. Give it to Edward instead." I whispered in a singsong voice.

I continued this until I fell asleep.

I awoke. Is it all a dream?

I reluctantly open my eyes and there she is, alive, real and still sleeping.

I smiled contently when I felt her cuddle me closer until our faces are a mere inch apart.

Then she opened her eyes.

Crap. What should I say?

"Edward?" She whispered softly, making all my worries fade away.

"Bella." I murmured back, inching closer.

BPOV

And as he leans forward, several thoughts are bubbling inside of me. Shouldn't I pull away? I'm supposed to be angry at him after all, right?

But I can't bring myself to move away. There's this pull that brings me towards him.

No. No. Pull away right now, Bella. If you still value your sanity!

Yet, I can't move away.

Then, he sneezed. Yep, he fucking sneezed!

My eyes, that closed without my consent, snapped open. What the-?

"Edward?"

He moved away, his back facing me.

"I'm so sorry. I- I- I got- Got to- Uh-" He stuttered, moving to the edge of the bed.

"You- You're sorry?" I whispered, suddenly feeling hurt.

Wait, you shouldn't be hurt! You should actually feel grateful!

He spun around, looking horrified. "Oh NO! NO! I mean, I- I 'm just sorry that I, uh, sneezed right in your face!"

"Are you okay? Your face are all red.." I sked.

He started getting up, I do, too.

"I'm okay." He sneezed again.

I sighed. "You're not."

I walked to him as he sat on the edge of the bed. I stood in between his knees. I placed my hand on his forehead. Sure enough, he has a slight fever.

"Stay here." I ordered. "You need to rest."

"But-"

"No buts! You took care of me last night even if I'm a bit bitchy." I said in a small voice, looking down.

"Don't worry." He said, smiling up to me. "I've been through worse. Wait 'till you meet my sister!" He grinned and sneezed.

"Okay, okay. Less talking, more resting." I said, shoving him back to the bed.

His hands suddenly gripped my waist thus taking me with him. I fell atop him, our bodies and faces completely aligned.

I gazed at his bright emerald eyes as Iit looked back at me with the same intensity. His eyes flickered to my mouth and I consciously licked my lips. He slowly lean forward and I can feel him growing hard.

"Bella." he whispered.

And his stomach rumbled, ruining the moment.

Great! His internal organs are literally protesting to us not to kiss! Not that I care, of course. Psh. You're in state of denial.

He looked away again, his cheeks tinted pink. I never saw him blush before. Yeah, Bella, fascinating. (*B's internal voice is being sarcastic*)

I sat on his chest, straddling his body.

"Are you blushing, Mr. Cullen?" I giggled.

"Am not! Edward Masen - Cullen never blushes!" He stated, arguing with me.

"Whatever you say. But that's definitely a blush. Ask the blush master." I said, moving away. Our bodies are too close for comfort, it makes me uneasy. But I never been uncomfortable with him before. I used to have the upper hand, the power. I wonder what changed..

"Don't think that I already forgave you because of what you did yesterday, Mister." I scolded, wagging my pointer finger at him.

"Oh really?" He asked, getting up.

"Yep." I answered, crossing my arms.

He stood up, sauntering towards me. "Even so, can I use your bathroom? I haven't showered for 3 days." He said, scratching the back of his head.

I gasped. 3 days? "Er, why?"

"I sort of, quite, uh, 'ran away'. 3 days with no food, water, clothes, and sleep." He said in a small voice.

I involuntarily stepped forward, feeling a need to comfort him.

Then his face slightly changed. maybe all crap.

"Well, now that you mention it, you smell like-" I moved closer to him, sniffling him. 3 days? And he still smells like the most manliest sddicting cologne I've ever smelled? Yeah, right. "A homeless man." I lied. There's no way I would tell him that. That's like adding fuel to a very large ego-fire.

He smiled a little and leaned down to whisper at my ear. "Wanna shower together?"

I shivered in pleasure as I fantasized about what would happen if I agreed. Wet. Dripping. Edward. Sounds yummy. I shook my head. What the hell?

He laughed, walking away and to the door. "Gotcha." He grinned and left, shutting the door.

I just stood there, completely stunned. Erm, what just happened?

I walked to the kitchen, clearing my thoughts on the way. His scent is too strong on the bedroom.

I saw Edward by the front door, opening it.

"Edward? You leaving?"

He swiveled around, carrying a gym bag and a newspaper.

"No. Jasper texted me saying he brought some clothes for me." He said, throwing the newspaper on the counter. "Why? 'Fraid I'mma leave ya alone?" He asked, smirking.

Of course! Why am I so concerned of him, leaving or whatsoever? It's not like I'm his girlfriend or wife! Yet. I quickly opened the fridge, hiding my red face, cooling it down, too. He left to the bathroom, laughing. He is so full of himself! That arrogant bastard! Urgh!

Since I opened the fridge might as well be productive. I grabbed the carton of eggs, some loaves, and bacon.

I cooked 8 eggs, the whole package of bacon; toasted some bread. I might went overboard but hey, he said 3 days without anything, he might finished these all and my share, too.

I served the food along with a carto of OJ, milk and a hot cup of coffee. I wonder what he prefers.

I sat on one of the four chairs and looked around.

Oh, right! Since my mom isn't here, my groceries ain't storing themselves. I stood up again. Then I realized that the bacons, eggs, drinks, and bread is neatly stored on their respective places. Huh.

Wait. My clothes were strewn on the living room when I removed them last night. I'm so irresponsible! I walked to the room only to find out they weren't there.

I went to the laundry and there it is. Completely and neatly piled away.

A card is peeking out of my jean pocket. I took it out and read it.

"Dearest Isabella,

I'm really really sorry about what I did/said the other night. I shouldn't have did/said those words. I loathed myself because of it.

I'll change, I promise. Please, please, I beg you, forgive me. I would try my very best not to do it again.

Let's start over?

Yours truly,

Edward"

I smiled a little and tucked it back.

I walked to the kitchen and sat down, feeling like I achieved a goal.

I think he really changed according to his actions/behaviors last night.

I think I should forgive him after all.

Yep. That's it. For now.

Although it's only a refiller. It's still an update! (and a step forward to ExB relaysh. A progress.) :oD

Next update would be on Monday, August 30, so you lost nothing. ;))
