Your P.O.V
I take a deep breath trying to organize my thoughts. Is coming here really good idea? I've been contemplating about coming here all day. But I'm already at the door so there's no point in turning back. Edd has been acting very strange lately and it's starting to worry me. Even people that don't know him say that he is acting stranger then usual. He has been secretive and distant. Like he is holding something back. I shook the thought out of my head and just thought that there must be a reasonable expectation to his actions. After all that's why he asked me to come over. I took a deep breath stepping forward and knocking on the door lightly. Once my knuckles came into contact with the wooden door it slowly creeped open. I glanced through the crack of the open door puzzled why would he leave the door open? "Hello?" I announced wrapping my hand around the door pushing it open more and heading inside. I shut the door behind me then turned around hoping to see Edd. But when I turned around I saw no one. His apartment looked deserted, Its like he had just left his apartment to go to work. All of his things were here but he was no where in sight. Did he forget that I was coming over? I looked around for a note but I could hear faint footsteps and whispering as I stepped deeper and deeper into the apartment.
I followed the whispers to the bathroom. The door was open and there stood Edd hunched over the sink with his hands on each side of the white porcelain and looking slightly exhausted and worried towards the mirror. "Edd are you ok?" I asked concerned stepping into the bathroom. He slightly jumped up and out of his trance darting his gaze at me. "Yeah I'm fine. I'm just .... lost in a train of thought." He explained exchanging glances from me back at the mirror and his reflection. "Um the door was open. I hope you don't mind that I came in." "No I don't mind at all....." he trailed off as he stood up straight and walked past me and out of the bathroom.
"Do you want something to drink?" Edd asked heading towards the fridge and opening it. "No I'm fine thanks." He grabbed a beer from the fridge. Closing the door and taking a swig. What, beer? Edd doesn't drink very often let alone drink beer? He only likes wine. "Edd what's going on? Are you ok?" I asked slowly approaching him. He put his drink down on the counter slowly before turning around to face me. "Yeah I'm fine." He said leaning on the counter and giving me a smile I know is fake. "And I'm not a fool. So don't think you can pull that fake facade off. And besides, you don't drink beer." I spoke looking concerned. He turned and observed his open bottle of beer beside him and smirk while he whispered "If only you knew darling. If only you knew." That was just loud enough for me to hear. Just after those words left his mouth he shook is head violently back and forth "Stop!" He commanded in a whisper. "Stop What!" I asked worried. What is going on with him? He is really starting to scare me. He looked over at me in a panic. He pushed himself off the counter and started walked quickly into the living room. "I think you coming here was a bad idea. You should go."
"What No!" I exclaimed following him into the living room to see him pacing back and forth slightly. "Edd I'm not going anywhere ok I care about you and I want to help you." I walk towards him. "You can't ok! You should just leave before it's too late!" Edd stated with his voice slightly raised, looking down to his side and away from me. "What? Edd I'm not going to leave I want to now what's going on! I want to help you!" I stated with my voice slightly raised trying to get my words across to him. I didn't even have a chance to breath after finishing my sentence before he lunged towards me, pushing me up against the wall and pinning me there by my throat. He didn't cut off my air but he was being pretty rough. "What did I just say Y/n. You know you should really learn to put that stubborn attitude aside and take orders from people. It will save your life one day. Maybe one day soon." He whispered in my ear before releasing his hold on me and retreating back to where he stood before. His face was hardened and stern. I took a breath and rubbed my throat. Not in pain but in shock. Why did he do that? "You should go, before I change my mind." He announced coldly. He was trying to scare me away. Sighing disappointingly as I turn around and reach for the door knob only to stop myself and turn back around to face him. I'm not gonna let him push me away there's no way I'm leaving him like this. I don't even know what he might do if I leave. Not only that but I'm starting to get a little frustrated with him refusing my help when there's obviously something wrong. "No you listen here god damit! I'm your friend and I noticed something's wrong! There's no way I'm leaving you here like this! And I am not moving an inch until you tell me what's going on!" I ranted finally putting my foot down. He turned his back towards me, putting his hands on his face. Letting out a long muffled grunt. I waited a few more seconds for him to say something but he stayed silent. That only got me angrier. "Please let me help you!"
"You Can't!" He barked at me turning around throwing his hands down from his face to his sides. "Why!" I exclaimed loudly. He started to look ... agitated, annoyed and in pain. He grabbed his head like he was starting to have a migraine, followed by starting to shake his head from side to side almost turning into thrashing. His lips parted just enough so I could see his teeth grit. I took a step forward but once I did everything just stopped. All of his actions went from pain and agony to chill and proper. He looked at me and smiled but I could tell something changed in his face. He smiles at himself as he look down while taking his glasses off then proceeding to speak. "Because he can't keep me away from you anymore. And Edd isn't here to protect you"He explained putting his glasses in his pocket and smiling wide at me.
Ok what the hell is going on!? Why is he acting like this? What is he doing? Is he completely lost his mind? "W-what are you taking about?" I gulped worried. His smile just got wider and started walking towards me. "Edd... Edd stop your scaring me." I stated backing up slowly, he said nothing and continued walking towards me. Taking a few steps back I realize I was close to the door. I was getting too frightened to stay inside and now it's probably the best time to leave. I turned around quickly and try to grab the door knob only able to open the door an inch before his hand firmly slammed on the door keeping it close with a great amount of force. "Oh so now you want to leave. Well he gave you so many chances. You should've took them." He chuckled darkly. My breath began to race as terror was running through me. He quickly turned me around and pinned me in between the door and his body. Taking both hands and holding them together over my head.
"Edd what are you doing? Get off me!" I tremble as I struggles against him only causing him to hold me tighter. He chuckled before speaking. "Your so cute when you struggle... but you look even better when your scared." He put his mouth to my ear. "And darling I want you terrified." "Edd please stop!" "Stop calling me that!" His face as stern and voice slightly raised. "What don't call you by your name?" I asked confused. "Oh you poor confused girl" He laughed slowly shaking his head then continued. "I'm not Edd!" He ridiculously stated.
"If your not Edd, then who are you?" I went along with it but remained rather confused. "I'm the better version of him. I'm what he's afraid to be so he hides me away from everybody, even himself. I'm the person he wants to be but was too scared to do it. Even though we want the same things. So he hides his feelings away and in return he created me." My eyes widened as he explained. "What do you want?" "I wanted to get a chance to finally meet you for myself. See you with my own eyes instead of through his all the time. He's always afraid that I'm going to hurt you but that's not what he's really afraid of. He's afraid of losing you to me, because I am obviously better than him. He knows that I am so much better for you than him." "Lose me to him?" "Ow he didn't tell you? Ha, well poor little Edd has a crush on you. Actually I would say he admires and desires you. And I can understand his desire for you. Especially now when your pinned up like this." He whispered the last part in my ear causing me to turn my head and start struggling to break free from him. "So now that you've meet me what do you want from me?" He chuckled and continued to stare at me. He leaned in close to my ear. "I want you to me mine." He stated before lightly biting my earlobe making me shudder. "I don't want to be yours. I want to be Edd's. Edd is everything I ever want in the a man. He's kind,smart, sweet, funny, and an amazing cook. He's an amazing man that I truly care for. But you, you just frighten me." I stare straight into his eyes. His smirk went into a scrawl. "One day you'll get bored. And when that day comes I'll be here ready to take you away from him." His voice was filled with venom. But backed up slightly with his hands on his temples in pain. "If you think this is the last time you'll see me your sorely mistaken. I'll come back for you when you least expect it." He announced before growling in pain.
I stood in my spot as I watched him hold his head and move around in pain. He slowly came back to reality. Removing his hands from his face and standing up. He looked disoriented for a moment as he started patting around his jacket or something when he finally pulled his glasses out of his pocket and put them on. "Edd?" Once his eyes adjusted he turned towards me. "Y/n?!" We ran to each other and embraced one another tightly. "Oh thank god you alright! Did he hurt you?" He loosened his grip slightly to look down at me. "No he didn't I'm fine. But he told me some things." "Like what?" "He told me that you cared about me deeply. Is that true?" He said nothing and looked away for a moment. "Edd?" He looked back down at me. "Yes it's true. I care about you very much. I actually think I love you. I wanted to protect you from him for so long but I couldn't. As my feelings got stronger so did he. And If your scared or don't feel the same way I -" I interrupted him by pressing my lips against his soft plump ones. The kiss was so slow and tender. It was better then I've imagined. We slowly broke apart for air. "I'm not scared of you. I've felt the same for a long time." I admit smiling. He's expressing went from shy to happy in an instant before I kissed his soft lips once again.
