It always lingers... (Eddmatt)

Ice Skating...

.•*Edd's POV*•.

I wake up, arms cradling me protectively. "Aye, the cat is finally up, yeah?" Matt asks, looking down on me; he's sitting up in the bed. I give a tired hum, crawling on top of him, my stomach facing down, laying to rest, yet again. Matt gives me a cute morning smile, wrapping his slim arms around me, pulling me into a cuddle. "Can we sleep innnnnnn?" I plead to him, closing my eyes. "You always want to sleep in, dork. But yeah, we can today," he says softly, pulling his legs up to make a triangular position, making the cuddle more tight and comfortable. "I love you, Matt," I coo, placing my arms around his neck. "Oh, Eddward, oh, Eddward, how art thou Eddward? I seek love you see, and for it, I shall return the deed," Matt sarcastically speaks, going into a dramatic poetic pose. "Okay, thanks, Shakespeare Jr., good sleep!" I squawk, trying to fall back asleep. "Alright, alright, nice rest, bread," Matt mumbles, drifting to sleep as well (or so I thought). I giggle to the nickname. Matt's is ginger and mine's bread, I got the brunette, he's got the orange. He's always saying, "I can't be ginger without my bread!"

I feel something shift under me, caressing the back of my head. I slowly, but surely, open my eyes to see my tall boyfriend. "Edd, I know you want to sleep in.... Buuut I want to do something with you! I'd thought you might like it!" Matt squeaks energetically. "Okay- wait- did you even sleep at all?" I question, cocking an eyebrow and looking into his crystal blue orbs. "Sleep?! Barely! Too hyper I guess!" Matt exclaims, giving me a wide, toothy smile. "Uuuhhhhh... Sure..." I say slowly.

Badideabadideabadidea! I think to myself as Matt pulls up to an ice skating rink. "Uhh. Is it just us?" I ask kinda quickly. "Ah, yes! I rented a little one while you were sleeping!" Matt squeals. I guess he has really been wanting to do this... I get out of the car, a sickly feeling in my stomach. Before I know it, Matt grabs my hand and bounds to the entrance, dragging me with him. All of a sudden we stop. I hear Matt talk about something, but I'm not listening, no, I'm too busy trying to calm my stomach. I was pulled again, this time into an ice skating rink. "Uhh, M-Matthew..!" I stutter as he puts on both our skates. He looks up at me, concern lingering in his eyes. "Is something wrong, Edd?" He questions, standing up and hugging me. "I-I can't skate," I squeak, getting flustered and shoving my face into his chest. I feel him pet my hair and say, "Oh, Eddward! You crack me up! 1. I already know, 2. No need to be embarrassed by it!" I look up at him, greeted with a smile. I smile myself and let go of him. "Okay... But you have to stay by my side!" I demand, holding the gate to the rink. Matt nods and grabs my wrist, skating to middle and leaving me scared. He stops and holds me by my arms. I begin to shake and grip onto Matt as if my life depends on it. "Hey, hey! It's only ice, we're not balancing on lava here. Calm down..." Matt says in a nice low voice. I calm down a little, trying to get my balance as I ease my grip on him. "Edd," he says, to which I look up into his gorgeous eyes. "I'm here for you, you're not gonna fall on my watch..." He coos. My breath slowly goes back to a normal pace. It is only ice! Why must I be so scared of such a thing? I think. "Here!" Matt chirps, skating us to the wall, holding my hand as we get there. "I'll hold your hand while you glide with the wall, then once you feel more used to it, let go. I won't let go of you unless you're ready, k?" He squeezes my hand and smiles at me some more. 

_-EEEEE another time skip-_

Matt and I were skating in the middle of the rink. Matt slowly let go of me and I started to roughly skate a little. "Matt! Matt I'm doing i-" before I could finish my sudden outburst, I got to cocky and fell face-first. Matt let out a faint chuckle and asks me if I was okay, which I reassure him that I was. He skates over and lifts me up, calmly asking, "I think that's enough for today, you think?" I just give a weak nod and lean my upper body on his arms. We return the skates, go home,  eat, take a quick nap, then went on with the usual.

Okay! Sorry for the long awaiting chapter! Sorry the writing has changed a little, I'm reading too much Lord of the Rings and I started mixing it into my writing by accident. So yeah, here ya go! Also, I'll give you the crew's height so you don't get confused. Matt: 6'4 Tord: 5'9 Tom: 5'7 Edd: 5'3(he's supposed to be REALLY short, so if you want him to be shorter go ahead)
