Ed Sheeran Imagines ♥

Darkness

"Gosh, I hate storms so much," I groaned as another thunder roared through the night, making me flinch. The violent storm outside has been going on for what felt like hours and there was no end in sight.
I'd been trying to block out the horrible weather with a book, since reading has never failed to calm me down.

Ed was sitting on the other side of the bed, quietly strumming his guitar. His notebook was lying in front of him and he was scratching down the words to a new song. He looked up at the sound of my voice and used his pointer finger to fix his glasses.

"I know, Honey. But I'm sure it won't last too long now," he said, offering me a warm smile and reaching out his hand to squeeze my leg in a comforting way.

"I hope so," I sighed and turned the page, drawing my attention back to the book in my hands.

Suddenly all the lights in the room began to flicker, causing my heart to beat hard and fast in my chest. I've always hated the darkness since I was a little kid and power outages were one of my biggest fears. In my mind, I was praying for the power to stay on, but my hopes were destroyed by a loud crack of thunder that left room and the both of us in complete darkness. I immediately started to get panic and literally threw my book to the side.

"Ed?!" I asked with a shaky voice, reaching out to find him.

"It's okay, Alice. Don't freak out," he tried to sooth me.

"Where are you?!" His hands found mine in the darkness of the room. He laced our fingers and gently pulled me onto his lap, cradling me in his arms.
"I'm here, don't be scared, Angel," he whispered, rocking us back and forth.

"I'm sorry," I whimpered, knowing how pathetic I must sound.
People always give you strange looks when you tell them you're still afraid of the dark at the age of 21.
But Ed never laughed at me. He would always find a way to comfort and distract me

"Don't apologize, Love. Everyone is scared of something. We can't do anything about it. Don't feel bad," he
cooed while stroking the back of my hand with his thumb. "Do you want me to get some candles or a flashlight?"

"No! Don't leave me!" I cried, holding onto him for dear life. "Please, I don't want to be alone."

"Okay, okay, I'll stay. Do you wanna lie down?" he asked, not waiting for my respond but just pulling me down onto the mattress with him. I placed both of my hands on his chest, gripping the fabric of his shirt. His hands were soothingly rubbing my back, like he was trying to comfort a child after a nightmare.
His tight embrace was only helping a bit as we both lay there, listening to the chaos outside.
Lightning was shining through the cracks in the blinds and the noise of the thunder was making me tremble a bit.

"Shh, you're safe with me, Alice. I've got you. The power will be back soon, trust me," Ed whispered. kissing a spot behind my ear.

"I'm scared, Teddy," I said, trying my best to control my shaking voice.

"I know, but you don't have to be. Hey, you wanna know what? The song I was writing earlier, it is about you?"

I lifted my head to look at him, though I couldn't really see him. "Really?" I asked and couldn't help but smile at what he said.

"Yes, it's not done yet but I can tell you what it is about," he said softly, squeezing me lightly. "It is about what a wonderful person you are and how you make me feel, everytime these gorgeous eyes of yours look at me and about how much I love every little thing about you."

I giggled softly. "Ed, you can be so cheesy sometimes."

His face was so close to mine, I could feel his breath on my lips. "Just admit that you love it," he said, laughing quietly.

"I love you, Teddy. Thank you for being the biggest sweetheart on the planet," I chuckled and closed the space between our faces to touch my lips to his soft ones.

"I love you, too. Even if you're scared of practically everything," he smirked.

"Hey!" I complained and playfully hit his chest. Laughing, he planted a kiss to my forehead.

"Just kidding, Darling."
