"Give me love, like her. Cause lately I've been wakin' up alone. Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt, told you I'd let them go." 

Liam stopped before the door, his breath catching. He almost recognized the voice immediately. He had a bag of food balanced inhumanely over his knee, for his other hand was on the door handle and the other was shoving his keys back into his pocket. 

He paused a moment, and listened a little more, his heart racing in his chest. 

"And that I'll fight my corner, maybe tonight I'll call ya after my blood turns into alcohol. Mmm, no I just wanna hold ya!" 

A huge smile spread on Liam's face, for yes he did know who was in there with Ash. Grabbing the bag just before it fell from his knee, Liam turned the door handle softly and entered the room. It was much brighter than it was before, someone had taken the courtesy of pulling the blinds up. Now sunlight was pouring in through the thick glassed window, running it's rays through the fiery red hair of both Ash and Ed.   

Four other rowdy boys were watching with great interest, Niall and Zayn sitting on the edge of the bed and Louis and Harry standing in the far right corner of the room.

By the left window, Ed had his guitar in hand, his fingers strumming over the strings with little or no effort at all as he sung the song that Ash seemed to be absolutely mesmerised in. 

"Give a little time to me, we'll burn this out we'll play hide and seek to turn this around. All I want, is the taste that your lips allow, my, my, my, my, oh give me love!"

She didn't even notice Liam come in, for her eyes were glued onto Ed. She looked so fascinated, so illuminated by what Ed was doing that even when Liam set the bag of food down onto the desk and stood right beside her, she took no notice.   

Ed smiled and tapped his foot on the ground as he dug his fingers into the strings of the guitar, strumming it loudly with the rythm of his taps. As he looked up from his guitar, he gave a smile towards Liam, causing Ash to turn and gasp, leaning forward to hug his side. 

The boys all looked at Liam and gave him a small wave before looking back at Ed, expecting the song to finish. 

"My, my, my, my give me love! My, my, my, my give me love! Oh give me love!" Ed stopped the song, looking up towards Ash, his teeth grazing his lip. 

A huge bright smile lit up her cheeks as she looked back at him with absolute happiness. "I...I know that song," She gasped. "I played it whenever I could." 

"Did you?" Ed smiled, chuckling softly. 

"Yeah! She played that song for us the first time she met us," Zayn exclaimed. Ash slapped his arm, motioning for him to be quiet, but it was already too late. 

"And she played it very well might I add," Harry piped in. Louis giggled and whispered something into Harry's ear, which made him start to chuckle like mad. Ash glared at them. 

"You know how to play this song?" Ed asked, suddenly very interested as he raised his eyebrows. Ash dragged her glare away from the boy and lightened her gaze as she met his eyes.
