Ed Sheeran Imagines ♥

Warmth

I could have fallen asleep right there on the floor in the hallway, after closing the door behind me. I felt absolutely dreadful. My legs were sore, my head was pounding and my throat felt like it was on fire. Basically my whole body was aching.

Over the weekend, I've caught an awful cold and I thought I was well enough to go to work, but I was so wrong . I was feeling worse than ever and I wanted to slap myself for not listening to Ed who has told me to stay at home. Speaking of Ed: All I wanted right now was the comfort of my bed and his warmth. But where was he?

There was an unusual silence in the apartment. "Ed?" I called him softly, voice hoarse from the dryness in my throat. I didn't get an answer. Maybe he was out with friends or something.
I carelessly let my bag drop to the floor, my shoes and jacket were next.
Then, I went upstairs to change in more comfortable clothes.

But when I opened the door to our shared bedroom, I stopped in my tracks. Ed was lying on the bed, fast asleep with a blanket wrapped safely around him. As quiet as possible, I tiptoed through the room and kneeled down beside the bed so that I could look at his face. A smile spread accross mine as I watched him sleeping soundly.
I've always loved watching him sleep, as creepy as it sounds. He just looked so peaceful and innocent, and I adored his kitten like snores. I reached  out one hand to gently stroke his soft, orange hair.
No matter how horrible my day was, as soon as I was with Ed, I instantly felt better.

I quickly changed out of the uncomfortable clothes I've been wearing all day, and found one of his shirts that I threw over my head. I also grabbed my big blue scarf that I've left on the floor earlier this morning, and wrapped it around my sore throat.  Then, I carefully lifted the blanket, trying my best not to disturb him, and crawled under it to join him.
His warmth surrounded me immediately and I breathed in his clean, masculine scent. I wrapped my arms around him, pressing my body flat against his and resting my head on his chest.
After making sure that I didn't wake him up with my movements, I sighed and closed my tired eyes to also get some rest.

I didn't know how long I've been asleep, but when I next opened my eyes, I was staring into Ed's blue ones. There was this adorable, slightly confused expression on his face he's always wearing after waking up from a deep slumber. I lifted my head a bit and as soon as he had noticed I was fully awake, a smile started to form on his pink lips.

"Hey, Honey. Since when are you here?" he asked and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. I just shrugged my shoulders, knowing that my voice would probably betray me.
He tilted his head a bit.

"How are you feeling?"

"Awful," I managed to croak out.

"I told you to stay at home!" He said and carefully put a hand on my forehead, studying my face with concern in his eyes.

I nodded and just gave him a guilty look.

"Luckily, you don't have a fever but I'll still get you some medicine for your throat. I'll be right back," he told me and sat up in bed.

"No!" I reached out and got hold of his wrist."Please stay here, you're so warm and I'm cold and I can't sleep without you."

"But I'll be right back," he said softly, stroking my hair.

"Please, Teddy?" I pleaded and gave him my best puppy dog eyes. "I can take my pills later. I just want to rest a bit." 
He laughed quietly but then lay back down next to me and wrapped his arms around my body, pulling my back against his chest and letting his hands rest on the bare skin of my belly.
"Okay, okay, I'll stay if it makes you happy," he whispered in my ear, kissing a spot behind it.

"Thank you. I love you, Ed," I mumbled and placed my hands over his, lacing our fingers and squeezing tightly.

"Love you, too, Darling."

Words can't describe how much I LOVE Divide! ♥ It's the best thing I've heard in so long! Tell me your thoughts about the album (and the new chapter of course haha) ^-^
