“Good man. You're a good man.”

He whispered gently, resting one hand in Matthew's head, while the other arm would be wrapped around his waist, holding him tightly and close, protective as ever.

“I love you so much . . . Just know, you won't get rid of me so easily.”

[𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐰. @DEMONOLOGlES]

"Okay. . . "

He muttered, sniffling while trying to stop his tears. His head rested on Ed's shoulder, and Matt let his smell fill his nostrils. It never failed to calm him down.

"I love you. . . "

[ᅠ‎ 𝙴𝙳 𝚆𝙰𝚁𝚁𝙴𝙽 ˛ᅠ @oflastrites]

Smiling at the sweet sound of his chuckling, Warren hugged him protectively against his own chest. He was small and delicate, which made Ed want to protect him even more.

"You too. You make my days brighter . . . You're my happiness."

[‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑖𝑟𝑣𝑜𝑦𝑎𝑛𝑡. @PSYCHlSMS]

"Aw. . . "

Loren instantly blushed and chuckled, hiding his face on Ed's chest. He was so small his head fit right there. . . Like they're made for each other.

Maybe they actually were. . .

"You make me feel so, so loved. . ."

[ᅠ‎ 𝙴𝙳 𝚆𝙰𝚁𝚁𝙴𝙽 ˛ᅠ @oflastrites]

Ed felt just the same . . . Loved and cared like never before. Josh made him the happiest man.

"I love you more than anything, hon."

He whispered softly, nuzzling his nose before placing a soft, loving kiss on his lips.

[ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐮𝐚 𝐋𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐭ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ @astraIwanders]

Smiling upon hearing his voice, Joshua sighed. He let himself to feel lost in all those feelings, enjoying being there with him - feeling loved and cared for.

"I love you so much. . ."

He whispered, smiling once more against Ed's lips.

[ᅠ‎ 𝙴𝙳 𝚆𝙰𝚁𝚁𝙴𝙽 ˛ᅠ @oflastrites]

Gently, Ed hugged him closer, grabbing his shirt as to never let him go ever again.

"Shhh . . . Everything's all right. It'll be all right. I'm here with you and we will face it together, okay ?"

He spoke softly, tightening the hug a little.

[𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐰. @DEMONOLOGlES]

Matthew only opened his mouth to speak of something - but soon after, it closed.

He gave up. Letting his tears flow free, the teacher hugged Ed as if his life depended of his arms.

"I'm sorry. . . I'm sorry. . . "

[ᅠ‎ 𝙴𝙳 𝚆𝙰𝚁𝚁𝙴𝙽 ˛ᅠ @oflastrites]

Ed chuckled softly, enjoying the sound of his laughter and the vision of him beaming . . . He was like an angel on earth.

Hugging him close, Ed nuzzled his hair, smiling softly as he's gently caress his back with one hand.

"Mhm . . . I could be like this with you forever."

[‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑖𝑟𝑣𝑜𝑦𝑎𝑛𝑡. @PSYCHlSMS]

"I missed you kisses too, Ed!"

Loren chuckled, full of energy. He beamed at his vision - God, he loved him so, so much. . .

"I missed you all . . ."

Hugging him tightly, the young man rested his head on Ed's chest - sighing and closing his eyes, relaxed.

[ᅠ‎ 𝙴𝙳 𝚆𝙰𝚁𝚁𝙴𝙽 ˛ᅠ @oflastrites]

"Mhmmm-hm!"
Ed smiled softly, leaning to nuzzle against his hair, placing a gentle kiss on top of his head.

"Do I ? Maybe because I'm looking at you. The most wonderful person in this world."

[‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑖𝑟𝑣𝑜𝑦𝑎𝑛𝑡. @PSYCHlSMS]

. . . Y-you think so? 🥺
To me, you have the same eyes of this kitten. . . Beautiful, shining, fierce.

[ᅠ‎ 𝙴𝙳 𝚆𝙰𝚁𝚁𝙴𝙽 ˛ᅠ @oflastrites]

He whispered, gently holding the chocolates and the card, walking towards the living room to look at him in a smile.

"I do."

Ed answered softly. He didn't needed to think before answering that question about being his valentine.

[ᅠ‎ 𝙴𝙳 𝚆𝙰𝚁𝚁𝙴𝙽 ˛ᅠ @oflastrites]

Upon entering his office and checking his desk, Ed couldn't help but to smile as soon as he saw the card and the chocolates. That vintage touch and that beautiful calligraphy were unmistakably his.

"Josh." +

[ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐮𝐚 𝐋𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐭ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ @astraIwanders]

He just did-
Ed should check his desk. And search for a couple of chocolates and a vintage card, filled with the teacher's calligraphy:

". . . For my Valentine, if you want to.
Because I do.
Now and forever.

Joshua"

[ᅠ‎ 𝙴𝙳 𝚆𝙰𝚁𝚁𝙴𝙽 ˛ᅠ @oflastrites]

"The good ones, they're usually lost or in need of help . . . The bad ones, they're troublesome, but there's always a way. I can help you, even if I don't share your gift."

[ᅠ‎ 𝙴𝙳 𝚆𝙰𝚁𝚁𝙴𝙽 ˛ᅠ @oflastrites]

Blinking softly, Warren waited patiently for her answer, curious to her words, her reasons and at the same time, eager to help her. He could see she was uncomfortable, plagued by something and he would do his best to help her out of it. +

[ℳ𝑖𝑠𝑠 ℳ𝑜𝑟𝑎𝑛 ⭒ @hauntedseer]

The warmth irradiating from the cup helped Lorraine to rearrange her thoughts. And, dear God, there were a lot of them.

Funny how being there with Ed seemed. . . Just right. Even if she was frozen on her seat, struggling to find the correct words. Deep down, Lorraine

+

[ᅠ‎ 𝙴𝙳 𝚆𝙰𝚁𝚁𝙴𝙽 ˛ᅠ @oflastrites]

"Miss Moran, I believe you're a medium. It's a very special gift the one you have, but . . . It also attracts what it shouldn't. Hence the bad spirits."

He hummed, nodding once before continuing, all in a gentle tone. He didn't meant to alarm her. +

[ᅠ‎ 𝙴𝙳 𝚆𝙰𝚁𝚁𝙴𝙽 ˛ᅠ @oflastrites]

"Never. Promise."

Ed spoke in a soft tone before kissing his lips. It was gentle and caring-- no rush at all, but a kiss filled with all the love he had in his heart.

He couldn't put in words what he felt for Josh, not even if he tried.

[ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐮𝐚 𝐋𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐭ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ @astraIwanders]

His eyelids fluttered close upon receiving the soft touch of Ed's lips. Joshua felt like fluttering when with him him. . . Always.

"Never let me go. Please."

The teacher softly replied before kissing Ed's lips in a gentle, heartfelt manner.

[ᅠ‎ 𝙴𝙳 𝚆𝙰𝚁𝚁𝙴𝙽 ˛ᅠ @oflastrites]

In a throaty chuckle, Ed closed his eyes, leaning just enough to let him place the kiss on his cheek.

"Oh. I've missed that."

[‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑖𝑟𝑣𝑜𝑦𝑎𝑛𝑡. @PSYCHlSMS]

Upon feeling his soft kiss, Loren beamed. He stood on the tip of his feet to kiss Ed back in his cheek - slowly, lovingly.

[ᅠ‎ 𝙴𝙳 𝚆𝙰𝚁𝚁𝙴𝙽 ˛ᅠ @oflastrites]

Me ?!
Looks more like you, y'know . . . All smol and curious and adorable.

[‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑖𝑟𝑣𝑜𝑦𝑎𝑛𝑡. @PSYCHlSMS]

It you too. 🥺

[ᅠ‎ 𝙴𝙳 𝚆𝙰𝚁𝚁𝙴𝙽 ˛ᅠ @oflastrites]

@PSYCHlSMS you

[ᅠ‎ 𝙴𝙳 𝚆𝙰𝚁𝚁𝙴𝙽 ˛ᅠ @oflastrites]

ooc.

The dream was also inspired by Evil! judy in the mirror.

Idk man, they're cooking something.

[ᅠ‎ 𝙴𝙳 𝚆𝙰𝚁𝚁𝙴𝙽 ˛ᅠ @oflastrites]

ooc. Had a dream about an evil! mirror version of Ed, inspired by that part of the trailer where he's holding a bible against . . . a mirror ?

Anyways, if I'm right about this, I'll scream.
