Work Text:
“Oswald,” Ed knocked on his bedroom door. “Oswald-“
Oswald groaned, still in bed, rolling over to face the door. “What is it, Ed?”
Ed slowly opened the door with a creak, he was still dressed in what he had on yesterday, a button up and purple tie, with a green cardigan. He stepped in, standing awkwardly by the bed.
Oswald rubbed his eyes. “What time is it, Ed?”
“3:32” He replied without looking at his watch, he was swaying back and forth on his feet fidgeting with his hands like he was waiting to tell him something.
“What have I told you about waking me up too early?”
Ed looked down at the floor. “Not to, unless it’s extremely important… I’ll go, sorry to bother you.”
Oswald sighed, Ed knew how to make him feel bad. “No, no. It’s too late now, isn’t it, what did you want?”
Edward’s face lit up, and he raised his hands to just below his chin, fidgeting with them more. “I organised all the books, games, DVDs and CDs in the house!” He beamed. “They’re now in alphabetical order, and I looked for any that were left around the house. It was really annoying me that they were just, left in random places and and-“ He was speaking far too quickly, his excitement masking his tiredness.
“Ed!” Oswald raised his voice a little, to get him to stop talking. “You need to calm down, it is far too early for this, have you even slept?”
“Oh- right. Well, I tried to… but I went to get a CD to put on to help me sleep and well, I forgot what I was supposed to be doing when I saw everything out of order and had to fix it.” He looked down at the floor again, lowering his hands.
“Come here, Ed.” Oswald shuffled to the side to make space for him in the bed. He noticed him hesitating. “I can admire your work later, at a reasonable time, and when you have gotten some rest.”
Ed again, raised his hands to below his chin to fidget with them as he awkwardly walked over to the bed.
“Ed, it’s alright. I’m not mad at you, you need some rest.”
Ed slowly got into the bed, taking his tie and glasses off and putting them on the bedside table. Oswald smiled, glad he wouldn’t have to spend more time convincing him. He shuffled closer to Ed and put and arm around him.
“Now you won’t be escaping.” Oswald spoke sarcastically, giggling a little.
“Ok, ok you got me.” Ed blushed a little as he leaned into Oswald’s neck.
Oswald kisses his head, rubbing Ed’s back in hopes of getting him to fall asleep quicker.
After a few minutes Ed had fallen asleep, having put an arm around Oswald too. Oswald watched him, smiling before gently leaning his head on Edwards, falling asleep.
