Ed held me, running his hand through my hair. I didn't even try hugging him. Now he knows I'm crazy... I guess he'll leave now... God I am fucked up...

"I've gone mad..." I mumbled into Ed's shirt. I could taste the salty tears on my lips. Ed sighed. My tears had formed a wet spot on his shirt.

"You're not barmy... You're just hurting..." He whispered.

As I slowly sat up, trying to wipe tears from my eyes, I felt Ed's gentle hand rubbing his shirtsleeve over my cheeks instead. I blinked at him through my fogged up glasses. "What are you-" Ed cut me off.

He cupped his hands gently around my cheeks and pulled me closer to him. Then he planted his lips softly on mine. I felt a few more tears escape my eyes when I closed them. But the kiss was numbing the pain away.

Ed's lips left mine for a mere moment so we could breathe. Then I was pulled back in for another passionate kiss.

No matter how much the voice in my head wanted to infiltrate me, it wouldn't stand the chance. It wouldn't destroy my world. Because now, Ed was my world. He was everything I knew. Everything I wanted. Everything.

~time lapse~

"I don't want you to go..." I whispered. Ed and I were laying on the couch now. I was laying on him, with my head on his chest.

"I should... I wouldn't want you to muck up anything..." Ed murmurmed. I looked at the clock on the wall. From the dim light of the TV, I could see it was almost 11:00pm. I laid my head back down on Ed's chest.

"Well, Sage did say you could stay..." I said. Ed sighed. Before he could speak, I said "Please... Even if its just one night... Please, Ed..." The ginger boy started to sit up. He held me in his arms.

"Okay Reggie. I'll stay." He said. His voice sounded husky. "I'm tired, though. So uh..." Ed looked embarrassed. "You figure we could just sleep?" I smiled up at my ginger guy. Oh my... Did he think we were... I giggled.

"That's what I was hoping for." I said, smiling. Ed smiled back, sleepily. Then we stepped off the couch. I shut off the TV and blindly lead Mr. Sheeran back to my bedroom. When I flicked on the light, Ed grunted in surprise.

"Blimey! Its bright!" He said, with a small chuckle. He wandered over to my bed and flopped down. I turned on my lamp, then shut off the light. Soon, I was crawling into the bed next to Ed. Then I shut off my lamp and got under the covers.

"Reggie. Question." Ed said, yawning.

"What?"

"Why do you love Shrek?"

"I don't know. I guess I just wish my life was like that." I rolled over and faced away from Ed.

"What do you mean? Like you want to find your true love?" He asked. I chuckled.

"Well, there's that." I said. I paused. "But there is another thing..." I laid there quietly, hoping he had fallen asleep. He hadn't. Ed wrapped his arms around me and held me closer.

"What would that be?" He asked. I rested my arms against his and thought about what to say. Tell him the truth? That I think I'm ugly? Or just say never mind? Ugh... "Come on, love..." Ed murmured. "I'll understand..." I sighed.

"Its just... I'm like Shrek." I said, hoping he'd catch on and keep quiet. But he didn't.

"How so?" He asked. Here goes nothing...

"I'm ugly... Ugly as a pile of shit..." I said. "And... Yeah." I flinched as Ed buried his unshaven chin into the side of my neck.

"You're beautiful, Reggie. No matter what you have been thinking." Ed said. I shook my head.

"No. No I'm not." I replied. I felt Ed open his mouth, but I kept talking. "I'm like Shrek: ugly, fat, friendless. And you, Ed? You're like Fiona: sexy, hilarious, admired, and... Well, you're intelligent as bollocks!" Ed moved his arm and placed his hand on one of my hands.

"You are one of the most beautiful girls I have ever met!" He whispered in my ear. I blushed.

"I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No. I'm not."

"Yes. You are."

"But Ed!"

"But Reggie!"

"I'm not!"

"Yes you are, Reggie!" There was no way I was winning this argument. Not tonight. I just wanna sleep...

"Okay, fine." I said. "I'm beautiful." Ed chuckled. "I'm the most beautiful goddamned girl in the world!" Ed kissed my cheek and held me tightly.

"God, Reggie, I love you." He said.

"I love you too, Ed Sheeran."
