Don't play song until I say so!!

Edward POV

I took Envy back to the hotel room. Once there I set Envy on the bed and called Greed, letting him know Envy was with me.
Envy must've been exhausted.

He laid there curled up on the bed. I sat beside him. "You must be so tired, especially after last night", I said. I started to stroke his hair.
"Why don't you get some sleep", I suggested.

His eyes widened as soon as I said that. "No!!", he screamed.

He looked at me with frightened eyes. "I can't! I don't wanna! What if I have another nightmare?! I can't handle that Ed!! The voices will just keep saying bad things! I can't...Edward I can't...please don't make me..", he trailed off and started crying.

I held him in my arms. "Sshh it's okay Envy, it's okay. It's gonna be alright. I promise", I assured.

He sniffled and looked at me with scared eyes full of tears. "H-How do you know?", he asked. I took out a hanky and wiped his tears away.
"Because I'm here for you. You don't have to be scared with me around. I'm here to keep you safe Envy"

His looked at me shocked. He buried his face in my chest and I held him close.  He cried a bit more then finally calmed down.

"It's alright", I said. He looked up at me. "Thank you", he said. I smiled softly and wiped the rest of his tears.
"Anytime my palm tree"

I set us to be laying closely on the bed. "Ed...I'm scared", he said weakly. I kissed the top of his head.

"I know, but it's alright. I'm right here", I stated.

"Hey Ed...do you mind if um..." I looked down at him curiously. "What it is?", I asked.
"Could you...sing a little? Please?", he asked.

"Awww Envy, of course I will", I replied. I took his hand and smiled.

Play music!!

Envy POV

As I listened to Edward sing I could feel all my worries just melt away. I've never felt so safe in all of my life. Edward was so sweet and amazing. I smiled softly and snuggled close.

Laying my head on his chest I felt myself completely relax for the first time in a long time.

I never knew he could sing so well. As he reached the end of the song I felt myself grow sleepy. He kissed the top of my head.
"I love you Envy"
"I love you too Edward"

"Sleep well, my palm tree"
And with that I felt my eyes close and I fell asleep. It was the most peaceful sleep I've ever had. Thank you Ed, it was a miracle for me to have you.
