Edd x Depressed! Reader

I was sitting on my bed, just staring at my left hand. It was covered in numbers written in dark blue pen, all over the place. These numbers may seem random, sure, but they weren't.

They were times.

Times of Depression, to be exact.

Yeah. I was depressed. I won't say much about it, because really, can you make a conversation about it? No. Anyways, I'm not constantly depressed. No, it's more like flashes of sadness. Sometimes I'll just randomly start crying, not even knowing why. Other times it'll come out of nowhere and make me feel like I'm gonna die. It isn't fun, that's for sure.

I sighed as I read the times.

12:03. 1:46. 10:18. 7:59. 3:20. 11:34. 5:02. And on and on....

I facepalmed, looking at the freshest one through my slitted fingers. Why must it be this way. Why must I always have to feel like this...

Er, well, not always.

That's when I smiled, as I remembered the one who always seems to make my day a little brighter.

Edd.

He was always so nice to me. He would listen to me, even when he had no idea what I was talking about. He would worry about me when I got hurt by anything. He would ask me genuine questions about the things I do. And, most importantly to me, he would always be there for me, whenever I needed him. And that's why I loved him.

Yeah, I loved him. Wouldn't you love the sunshine of your life, too?

Laying my hand back down at my side, I slowly became lost in my own thoughts. Then, I started listening to all the noises around me. There was the humming of the vents running, the faint sound of the wind blowing outside, and the quiet murmuring of the tv downstairs. It was all soothing, in a strange sort of way. I slowly drifted into a light doze.

As I dozed off, someone lightly knocked on my door. Lost in my own world, I didn't notice. It sounded again, and Edd's voice spoke. "Y/N? You in there...?" he asked. Not getting a response, he opened my door silently. Then, he saw me. From his point of view, I was laying on my side on my bed, one arm draped over my stomach, the other hanging off the bed. One leg was straight, while the other was crossed over it. My hair was messily splayed out across the pillow, and my mouth was ever so slightly parted, letting small snores out.

He gave a little blush. They're adorable, he thought, before shaking his head and smiling, walking over to me. Sitting down on the floor next to me, he watched me sleep for a few minutes. Then, he noticed my hand.

I woke up to him holding my hand, examinging it, a slightly worried look on his face. I was surprised to see Edd in my room at all, as I hadn't given him permission, but whatever. I was more concerned about the fact that he was holding my hand. I quickly sat up, yanking it away, and he looked at me in shock. "Y-Y/N!" he gasped. I held my hand close to me. "W-what are you doing here?" I asked him. He looked at my hand again for a moment before looking back at me and speaking, slightly hesitantly.

"I...I wanted to see if you were okay." he said, sort of nervously. "I've noticed you writing on your hand even more...and I know you do that when you're feeling upset. So..." he thought for a moment. "So what's bothering you?" he finally asked me, looking into my eyes. I looked back silently for a few moments, encaptured by his gaze. Then, I looked down. "I..." I trailed off. I wasn't sure of what to say.

Then, he took my chin, making me look at him, causing my eyes to widen. "You can tell me, Y/N." he told me softly. I felt my face flush; I was just inches away from his face. And then, giving up on how to say this to him, I finally let it all out.

"Okay, fine!" I said, sighing and leaning back. He watched me intently. "I'm not alright. Not at all. Feelings keep attacking me. I could just be having a lovely day, and then suddenly, WHAM!" I shouted, clapping my hands once. "Everything is suddenly sad! My good mood just dies! I'm not ALLOWED to be 'happy'. Almost nothing makes me happy! The only thing that actually makes me happy in this cursed world is you, and even YOU make me upset sometimes, because there's no chance that you'll ever love me back, and I know that! EVERYTHING HATES ME!" I outbursted, tears now streaming down my face. Edd was watching me in blushing surprise. "Y-Y/N...I...you...you love me?" he asked me, putting together what I had said. My eyes widened as I realized, and I curled back. "Oh no...I-I'm sorry..." I said, but I was cut off by Edd hugging me tightly. I gasped as he did.

"I love you too, Y/N...and I hate seeing you like this..." he mumbled. I slowly hugged back. "I'm sorry I didn't realize sooner...I'm sorry I couldn't make you as happy as you could be. But don't worry, Y/N, I have you now...I'll keep you smiling forever. Okay?" he told me, pulling back to look me in the eyes. I nodded at him, smiling lovingly, blushing darkly, and completely transed, not able to speak. And then, I wasn't able to control myself. I tighted my grip on him and pulled him in for a passionate kiss. I enjoyed every second of it, and I think he did too, because when I finally pulled back, he was a grinning, blushing mess. "Th-that was...wow..." he breathed. I chuckled lightly at his reaction, my own face deep red. "I know, right?" I said. We then hugged again. "I love you so much..." I whispered, holding him as close as possible. He hugged me back, nuzzling into my chest. "I love you too...more than you'll ever know." I smiled.

"Thanks."
