Edge chuckled softly, and stroked down the side of Donnie's cheek quietly. "I'm not going anywhere. I promise you that. I'll be here when you wake up. Every day afterward, too." he murmured, leaning up to kiss his cheek, and adjusting his position so that his arm was over Donnie's chest, and he was laying facing him. He didn't want to smother the boy, but it felt good to be able to partially hold him as they had a bit of a nap. Made it more real, if he was in his arms. More solid. More true.
Truthfully, he was having a hard time believing that Donnie was real, too. He'd fallen so hard, so fast, without a parachute of excuses. There was no helping it. He was head over heels in love with the boy - and he had a feeling that Eden was too, even if he wouldn't be quite so open about it. He let those thoughts run around in his mind a bit as he went silent, and watched Donnie's exhausted form. There was a dire need there, to protect him, to keep him safe. Especially to keep him away from jerks like Jared. The boy wouldn't want for anything anymore - Edge had made himself that promise. Too much had already happened to him, and he wouldn't let anything else.
"I love you." he whispered in Donnie's ear, before using his free hand, and reaching behind him to the drawer of the bedside table. He fished around in it, until he picked up a cloth bag, and nudged the drawer closed with his hand. Pulling the bag over, he opened it, took out the three pieces, and started to apply them. Two earpieces that served as earbuds that he could sleep in... and a chestpiece that generally went over his own heart, or plugged into his MP3. Today, he warmed it in his hands, and pressed it over Donnie's heart, replacing his arm afterward. Edge could never sleep with complete silence. Donnie's heartbeat would help to fill that. Indeed, he was already drifting off when he dropped the bag back onto the table, and snuggled close, pulling the plush, warm blankets around both of them. "G'night Donnie..." he murmured, before closing his eyes and falling asleep.
