After shouting Edward's name, more dramatically than you probably needed too, you can see Edward's whole body stiffen up, before he began turning back around, to face you once more.
"Do you really want to know what was wrong?" You ask him, feeling almost guilty for the way you have been acting.
"You know I do!" Ed says, l
ooking at you with an irritated look. "Would I be here if I didn't (y/n)?"
"Can we just sit up here and talk for a while, I feel like I need to make sure of something." you say, as you swiftly turn around, and plop down onto the roof where you were sitting before Edward interrupted your much needed silence, without waiting for Edward's response.
Edward makes a face to insinuate you are strange, then begins to make his way to where you are sitting, then similarly plops down next to you. You turn your head upwards to look up at the sky, causing Edward to also begin gazing at the stars. You get up, because you want to hold his hand, not his automail hand, his flesh hand. For whatever reason, you feel the need to be sure of what you are feeling, before you say anything at all. Edward's face screams confusion, in reaction to the feeling of you moving and getting up, he turns quickly to look at you, only to find that you were just going to sit next to him, on his left side. Even more startled Edward was, as you grab onto his hand, then continue to look up at the stars, as if You hadn't done anything at all. You are sure that you can feel him looking at you, you look without turning your face, and to your surprise you can see he is already a bright shade of pink. Edward does looks thoroughly confused, but damn either way that boy sure can be cute.
"(y/n) um ar-" Ed begins, but you cut him off, in an attempt to getting straight to your point.
"What do you feel?" you ask, c
losing your eyes, as if to ask your own mind that very question.
"I uh.. A lot of things.. It's kind of cold tonight.." Edward says, looking all around and rubbing the back of his neck, while playing stupid.
"That isn't what I mean!" you say, slightly irritated at Edward's seemingly natural bashfulness, This very irritation causing you to clutch his hand harder.
"(y/n) Do you mean how do i feel about you holding my hand?" Ed asks, sounding more serious and sincere, but then adverting his face away from you.
You simply say, "Duh".
"Well I didn't take my hand away.." Edward says, scratching his head,
though also regretting the words he chose to say just now.
You go to examine how Edward looks in the moonlight, even though you know he is still looking away from you. Edward looks incredibly flushed and uneasy. Does this mean he likes you? You turn your eyes back to the sky, letting your thoughts run wild. I mean this could mean a number of things really.. Maybe he is just too kind hearted to make me feel stupid right now, maybe he already does think I'm stupid right now, or Maybe, and bless his heart, maybe he has never been through anything like this before. I mean I haven't either, even so, I just can't see how any other girl couldn't find Edward absolutely lovable. I can't say that I love him, but I know being near him, holding his hand, even fighting, and bickering with him over unimportant things, it all makes me feel like I never have before. I can hardly explain it, I can't even explain it to myself, so how could I ever formulate the right words to try and express any of these feelings to him. I can only hope that me taking his hand into mine, makes him feel even just slightly similar feelings. Hopefully and perhaps feelings of not only butterflies and flushed cheeks, but also feelings of comfort, with an odd feeling of home in a way. I've never felt this way for anyone before, and it is beyond interesting for me, I want to know, and learn more. All I know in this moment, right now I don't feel the need to set out with the intent to try and own him, I just want to be near him, because I genuinely enjoy this boy's company, more than words can seem to express
right now.
Lost in your thoughts as you gaze at the stars, holding this blonde's hand, you notice after looking through the corner of your eye, that he is now looking at you. You look over to him to find and connect your gaze to his rather, than the stars.
"I really enjoy your company.." Edward says, beginning to feel more comfortable, leaving him with a smile smile.
You lean over to Edward and land a kiss on his cheek before letting go of his hand, lifting yourself up, and starting to walk to the window.
"GAH! What was that for?" Edward says, waving his arms around, then holding onto his face, starting to freak out
at your small, but gutsy gesture.
You turn, as you were walking away, and smile at him then you say, "figure it out little man, and there might be more where that came from!" you then grab a hold of the roof, you get into the right position to hang off of the roof, then with slight force you push yourself through the window.
"GAH! I AM NOT LITTLE!" Ed screams, waving his arms around a little bit more, before just letting his whole body fall on the roof in a huff.
"What just happened?" Ed mumbles to himself.
