Sleep never did Edd well. He'd always woke up to night terrors or just couldn't sleep at all because of his anxiety of something being there and watching him.

He never did tell his boyfriend's his secret of not sleeping. He would often silently cry, making sure to wake no one by accident.

He'd stay up for hours and his main excuse for not sleeping was, "I'm working on commissions". When that was far from the truth. Instead he would always peek through his curtains in fear of somebody being outside.

But tonight was different. He actually passed out from sleep deprivation, he wasn't willing to sleep. The place where he fell victim to sleep was on his floor, face forward and hugging his stuffed cat Ringo since that cat has, unfortunately, died.

Edd witnessed what happened.

"Ringo no!" Screamed Edd as he watched the unsuspecting feline getting rammed by the truck in front
of him.

A loud pained meow.

The cat's blood splatters onto the boys jacket and some on his face.

He was trembling, tears falling down his face. He couldn't move, it felt like time had stopped and frozen him in place.

He fell to the ground and screamed.

The three men cane out of the house spotting Edd on the ground with tears spilling from his eyes.

Tom and Tord rushed to his side, asking what was wrong. They didn't get an answer until Matt let out a loud gasp.

Edd was choking on his sobs. His eyes were filled with terror at what he had just saw, "R-Ringo!" He croaked sobbing even louder.

neighbors, Edurado, Mark, and Jon, looked through the window. Shocked they ran outside, "E-Edd, calm down." Matt stammered hugging his sobbing boyfriend, "Matt, what happened?" Mark, Matt's mom friend, asked. The ginger looked at the blonde then to the street.

Edd went limp only to scream the cat's name once again.

Eduardo was silent he didn't know what to say. I mean, they were rivals after all.

Jon just looked at the cat's corpse and listened to the smaller boys sobs, flinching when the boy screamed Ringo.

Edd tried out, his voice gave out on him. He hiccupped, sobbed, and sniffed. His throat burned and his eyes stung.

Matt carried him into the house, Tom and Tord close behind.

They spent the night in silence. Watching television, cuddling, and listening to Edd's heartbreaking sobs.

"R-Ringo." He choked out his grip tightening around Tom's sleeve.

Edd woke up with a loud gasp. Tears spilled from his eyes and plopped down onto the wooden floors, leaving small wet droplets.

He trembled, the thought seeming to stay in his mind.

Ringo was now just a mutilated corpse. The organs were splattered and it's body was in two. Ringo bathed in his own blood as it surrounded him.

His sobs grew louder.

Tord and Tom happened to be up around four, since they both went to work pretty early. So why not?

Tom having his flask of Smirnoff and Tord having his pancakes with syrup they abruptly stopped when hearing loud sobbing.

"Edd?" Matt cracks the door his heart shattering at the scene in front of him.

The ginger sat down in front of Edd, embracing him in a warm hug. He showerd him with kisses and whispered sweet nothings in his ears.

Tom and Tord soon joined them.

The three boyfriends comforted the fourth until he fell asleep. Matt, scince it was his day off, decided to stay and snuggle with Edd all day.

The ginger smiled, "Have a great day at work, be safe. Love you!" Tom and Tord said their goodbyes as Edd tired to mumble an, "I love you" as well.

He was going to sleep all day.
