I've done it! After four days, I've finally finished chapter one of my KevEdd story. I'm super excited about this one, cause it's in a genre that I'm not familiar with writing. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Ed, Edd n Eddy belongs to Danny Antonucci.

Kevin was pissed.

It was raining. They were stuck in the middle of a goddamn forest miles from the cul-de-sac. It was getting cooler outside. He had a flat tire.

He had no idea where Edd's car was.

He couldn't remember how his dork had managed to get every single kid from the cul-de-sac to agree to a camping trip right after their returning home from their first year away at college. But if anyone could pull it off effectively, it was Edd. And that's exactly what he did.

Kevin remembered the chain of events as he made his way away from his car, flashlight in hand. He began walking towards he last saw Edd's car. Edd had mentioned to Ed and Eddy his wishes to take a camping trip before he departed for college. Of course they both agree immediately. The only stipulation for Ed was if he wanted to go, Sarah had to go as well. Despite being closer as siblings than they were as children, Sarah was still the preferred child. And everyone knew it. If Sarah went, Jimmy wouldn't be left behind, either.

Kevin was going because Edd was going. After a series of events (which were mostly Eddy's fault, as per the norm) that led to a pair of broken legs and other various injuries in their sophomore year, the two wound up spending a great deal of time together during the recovery process. The acquaintanceship grew to respect. The respect grew into friendship. And the friendship grew into love. They'd been inseparable since summer between sophomore and junior year.

Kevin managed to convince Rolf and Nazz to join. Rolf was thrilled to be sleeping in the outdoors with friends, as it was something he'd done back home. Nazz took some convincing, being to complete opposite of Rolf, and not being much a fan of nature and its entire splendor.

The only one who couldn't make the trip was Jonny, as he and his family always went away for two weeks from the day school ended.

"Ew!" Kevin didn't bother looking back at Nazz. As they were driving to the spot Edd had marked on the map, something had run out in front of Kevin's father's van, which held himself, Rolf, Nazz, Sarah and Jimmy. Kevin had managed to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting it, but still blew a tire. Behind him, Edd was driving his own car, with the other two Eds as company. After he'd slammed the brakes, he could hear a squeal coming from behind him. It was quickly blocked by the startled sounds coming from his friends.

And Edd's car was nowhere to be seen.

"Ed!" Sarah called out. She and Jimmy were following Kevin. Rolf had agreed to stay with Nazz and keep an eye on the van.

"Sarah! Bad!" Ed's loud voice answered somewhere to the right of where the trio were. Kevin flashed the light in the direction of where he'd heard the voice calling from. But still they couldn't see anything. They all stopped walking as they heard hurried footsteps making their way towards them.

"C'mon Lumpy! I see a light!" Eddy was heard saying, gasping.

"No, Eddy! Don't go towards the light!" Ed replied.

As the footsteps got closer, Kevin couldn't help but notice the distinct lack of a certain voice. Panic gripped him the longer the Eds were out of sight.

A sudden flash of yellow caught Kevin's eye. It was Eddy's shirt. The shortest of the Eds was running quickly. As he neared Kevin, Sarah and Jimmy, he slowed to a jog, before leaning over, resting his hands on his knees as he tried to catch his breath.

"Where the hell is my brother?" Sarah demanded, looking as concerned as Kevin had ever seen her. Ed's whereabouts were almost inconsequential to the redhead at the moment, though.

"Eddy, where's Double D?" he asked, his voice finally returning to him. Eddy waved a hand behind him as he tried to take in deep gulps of breath.

"Sarah!" Ed finally made it to where they all were. There was a slight cut on his brow, and his glasses were askew, but he otherwise looked fine. Shaken up, but fine. Eddy had the same appearance, looking slightly paler than normal with a few minor bruises, but fine. It was Edd who didn't look fine.

Edd was behind carried bridal style in Ed's arms, blood leaking from what appeared to be several wounds, including a large gash on his forehead. He had a dazed look on his face, but otherwise seemed to be alert.

There was just so much blood.

Ed and Edd both looked at him, the former in concern, the latter in relief. Ed walked up to Kevin, holding Edd gently but firmly. Edd was trying to make his way out of Ed's arms. "Kevin, bad. Double D's hurt."

"Shit," Kevin muttered.

Edd smiled smirk up at his friend, then turned that smile to Kevin. "I'm fine, I promise. The impact of the collision cause several pieces of glass to shatter. The worse is from the wound on my abdomen from the shard that embedded itself. And head wounds have a tendency to bleed more because there are more…"

Edd didn't get to finish his sentence as Kevin pulled him from Ed's arms into his own. He moaned in pain as he felt his weight being shifted from the taller Ed to the shorter Kevin. Under normal circumstances, Edd would typically prefer not to be carried and manhandled, but the pain coming from where there had been a piece of glass in his stomach made it so he didn't really mind not having to stand on his own two feet. Kevin placed a kiss on his temple, and just stayed there. Edd wrapped his arms around Kevin, sagging slightly as he felt the adrenaline of the night ebbing from him.

"I was so worried when I couldn't see your car," Kevin murmured against Edd's temple. He pulled away, frowning at the sight of all the blood. "Why are you so hurt and those dorks," he pointed to Eddy, who was sitting on the ground still gasping for breath, and Ed who was being looked over by Sarah, "barely have any marks on 'em?"

Edd shifted nervously in Kevin's arms. "I may have steered the vehicle in such a manner that any impact with the oncoming trees would have had less of an impact on the passengers than on the driver."

Kevin groaned. Of course he did. "Fucking dork…" Edd smiled softly at him. He turned to the others. "Rolf and Nazz are waiting by my car. It's too dark to try and salvage yours, so we'll have to wait until morning. I've got a first aid kit, too. We're gonna need to stop the bleeding."

They all began the trek to Kevin's van, Jimmy holding the flashlight as Kevin's arms were full. Despite being as careful as possible, Kevin could make out the slight winces on Edd's face and the pressure he placed on his stomach as they walked through the trees.

They were all quiet until they spotted Rolf busy building a fire in the makeshift campsite. Nazz was the one who saw them first, and immediately jumped from the van to greet them.

Nazz ran over to Kevin, looking over Edd in concern. "Oh my god, what happened to you guys?"

Edd opened his mouth to speak. Eddy beat him to it. "We crashed."

"Double D was sleeping after the crash," Ed added. "We had to wake him up before we could pull him out of the car." All eyes were suddenly on Edd, and he was growing more uncomfortable being the center of attention.

Nazz looked at the Eds, taking in their appearances. Eddy seemed to be the one with the least amount of injuries, although there was some slight bruising on his face. "Well then, where's your car?"

"It's still nestled against the tree that decided to embrace it," Edd said, looking slightly annoyed. Gingerly, Kevin set him down in the van. "I should have been more careful, and paid more attention to watch I was doing."

Eddy snorted. "Shove it, Sockhead. The reason we're not 'nestled against a tree' is cause you were careful. We should be dead, but we're fine cause you had to play victim."

Edd looked admonished. He crossed his arms over his chest, but quickly undid the move and winced. "I wasn't playing 'victim', Eddy. I was making sure you weren't hurt! And Kevin, you could have at least placed a towel or something down! Blood stains!" Kevin was in the back of the van, moving things around looking for the first aid kit. He grabbed a small towel from the floor and threw it to the front where Edd sat. Looking at the dirty towel, Edd didn't even bother picking it up.

"Why are you fighting about this?" Eddy asked. "I think that blow to the head did something to your brain. What happened happened and nobody died. I would've thought you'd be happy about that."

Rolf walked away from the fire, straight for Edd. He leaned in, nearly pressing his face against Edd's, as Edd tried to cautiously lean away from him without aggravating his wounds. "Double the Ed boy," Rolf said, looking directly into Edd's eyes. He really had no sense of personal space. "You carry the multiple wounds of a sheep after battle with the warthog." What? "Cease this active refusal of assistance and allow for Casanova-Kevin boy to dress you with the sashes of healing. Or Rolf will do it for you." Rolf patted Edd's head none too gently, nodded once, and then swiftly turned back to the fire. "Come, Giant-Ed boy, assist Rolf with provisions."

Ed shrugged, going over to Rolf. "Ok!" Rolf began directing Ed to pick up rocks and dried mulch for the fire. The pile got bigger as the two set the items aside for later.

Kevin eventually pulled out the first aid kit that Edd had packed prior to their leaving. Climbing out from the back of the van, he made his way to Edd, who was leaning back, a discomforted look on his face. He had a hand on his stomach. Both his hand and shirt were also covered in a blood.

"Jesus, Dee," Kevin sighed, beginning to take various things out of the kit, "just how bad was that crash?"

Edd opened his eyes, blinking quickly. "It was bad enough." He gingerly sat up, taking the proffered peroxide and wipes. He lifted his shirt carefully, revealing a deep bruise and a small shard of glass still embedded in his stomach. Kevin flinched at the sight. Edd smiles oddly. "The most interesting thing is that I can feel the bruise, but not the glass."

Kevin stares at him. "That's not good. Why don't you just pull it out?"

Shaking his head, Edd cleans around the glass. "That would be a bad idea. The shard is sizeable enough that it could do much more damage if I were to pull it out." He frowned. "At least the bleeding stopped…"

Kevin just watched in silence as Edd cleaned and dressed his wounds. When he was finished, he put everything back into the kit, closed it and handed it over to Kevin. Sarah appeared behind Kevin, taking a few bandages, before making her way over to Ed.

Eddy and Nazz were sitting near the fire. "I can't get any signal on my phone, so we can't even call for help." Eddy was glowering at his own phone. Rolf scoffed, standing up.

"We do not need portable telephones to survive! We shall make do like Rolf's Nana when she fought the bears that tried to eat her cows! Come, simple Nazz-girl! We shall find the food of the ground for forage!" Rolf quickly grabbed Nazz's hand and pulled her to her feet.

Kevin tossed Rolf the flashlight. "At least take the damn flashlight if you insist on getting yourself lost." Rolf caught it with one hand, saluted, and pulled Nazz into the forest.

"Dammit, Ed! Let me at least see the cut!" Sarah cried. Ed was struggling under his sister, who sat atop his chest trying to affix yet another bandage on Ed's face.

"But Sarah! Double D needs them more!"

Edd looked up from where he was in the van to his name being called. "Double D has already been taken care of, Ed. Let Sarah assist you."

With an annoyed look that was rare for him, Ed allowed Sarah to remove his glasses and place the final bandage on the cut above his eyebrow. Eddy chuckled, peering down at him.

"Looks like Sarah is trying to mummify ya, Lumpy."

"No!" Ed grabbed his glasses, jumping up and running away from Sarah to hide behind the van. Edd could see the top of his head popping up from behind the driver side window. He giggled, shaking his head. Sarah picked herself up, pulling things from her hair and glaring at Eddy. Eddy was bent over, laughing.

"You are such an asshole!" Sarah yelled, stomping over to Jimmy. Eddy only laughed harder.

His laughter stopped immediately when they heard a scream coming from the direction Rolf and Nazz had gone. Jimmy and Sarah grabbed one another, looking in the direction of the scream. Edd sat up, and gasped in pain as he tried to jump out of the van, only for Kevin to push him back in.

"Stay there!" Kevin practically growled at him. Ed ran around to the other side of the van. A second scream, this one more anguished than the first caught their attention. Grabbing his flashlight, Kevin ran towards the trees. "Come on, Ed!" Looking determined, Ed quickly followed Kevin, and the two ran after their friends.

"Both of you be careful!" Edd cried out, watching their retreating figures. Damn these injuries! A carefully as he could, Edd climbed around the van, making his way to the back. Eddy caught the moment and rushed over.

"What the hell are you doing, Double D?"

Edd pulled the first aid kit towards him. "I fear we're going to need to use this."

"Do you think they're going to be hurt too bad, Double D?" Jimmy asked from buried against Sarah's shoulder. Older he may be, but certain anxieties never quite left the younger boy. Edd offered him a gently, albeit sad, smile. He didn't enjoy having to lie to people to comfort them.

"I believe so, Jimmy. I just want to make certain that all of our bases are covered, just in case."

Jimmy nodded. Sarah mouthed "thank you" to Edd, wrapping her arm tighter around him and staring into the fire. Eddy just paced in front of the van.

They all jumped when they heard hurried footsteps coming nearer. Ed appeared from the trees, a blood covered Nazz in his arms.

"Oh geez!" Jimmy cried, a hand covering his mouth. Sarah could only stare in shock.

Edd motioned quickly towards the tallest Ed. "Ed, bring her here!"

Ed ran to the van, lying Nazz down. Within seconds, Edd had a pair of gloves on, and was cleaning any and all blood from the blonde.

Eddy turned to Ed, who bounced nervously. "Ed, where are Kevin and Rolf?"

"Kevin told me to grab Nazz. Rolf is hurt, but Nazz was hurt more."

While this put Edd's mind slightly at ease, he couldn't help but still feel nervousness at the glaring fact that the duo had yet to return. The strange cuts on Nazz were also bothering him. He pushed those thoughts aside, focusing more cleaning Nazz. He'd inspect the wounds later.

Ed grabbed Eddy by the shoulders, shaking him. "Eddy! There was something trying to eat us out there!"

"Trying to eat you?"

Ed nodded, still squeezing Eddy. "It looked like a lady, but I couldn't see cause it was moving so fast! It was biting Nazz, and then it knocked over Rolf, and then when Kevin tried to hit it with a stick, it knocked him over, too!"

Edd looked at Nazz's arm. That would explain the marks.

"Ed," Edd asked, "did you get hurt?"

Ed shook his head. "No. Kevin told me to grab Nazz and run, so I did."

"…I insist you let Rolf go so I may go back and slay the demon of the change!" Rolf's voice cried. Both he and Kevin appeared, and they too, were in the condition Nazz was in. Kevin had Rolf's arm over his shoulder helping him walk, as Rolf was weakly trying to pull away. Kevin and Rolf made their way to the van.

Edd moaned in concern, pulling off the gloves. He had finished putting on a fresh pair. Looking up, he could see they both looked slightly paler, which was strange seeing Rolf look so pale. Like Nazz, they were both covered in scratched, and what appeared to be bite marks. And just like Nazz, they had blood all over their faces and mouths.

Edd's brows furrowed in confusion at that.

Quickly, he set to work, cleaning and bandaging Rolf first. He would have to switch gloves when he began to work on Kevin.

"How is Nazz doing?" Kevin asked, watching Edd work.

Without looking up, the smartest of the Eds replied. "She's fine. It appears that she merely collapsed out of fear. Her wounds aren't as bad as they seem."

Kevin nodded. "Good." He made a disgusted face before turning and spitting blood. "Whatever that thing out there was, it seemed really eager to shove it's bloody hands in my mouth."

He glanced over to Ed who was now seated by the fire. "Hey Ed." Ed looked up, his mouth a thin line. "Good job getting Nazz out of there so quickly, man." Ed just nodded. He would have normally been thrilled to have been acknowledged so positively. Obviously, the night's events were beginning to catch up with him.

Edd eventually finished with Rolf. He jumped out of the van, muttering curses under his breath, before plopping himself next to Ed by the fire. He still wasn't too happy with Kevin pulling him away from the fight.

Nazz suddenly gasped and sat up, surprising everyone. She looked around quickly, before breaking out in a smile. She threw her arms around Edd's middle, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Oh, I'm so glad!" she kept saying over and over.

"N-nazz," Edd wheezed. "Please l-let me go!" She was unknowingly pushing the shard deeper into his skin. The pain was becoming too much for him now that all the excitement was ending. Realizing her mistake, she quickly let him go, blushing. She looked at her hand, noticing the blood.

"Oh, Double D! Dude, I'm so sorry!" she cried. Edd waved off the apology.

"It's quite alright," he said faintly, putting a hand to his stomach. Obviously the bandages weren't strong enough to staunch the bleeding.

Without realizing it, Nazz brought her blood covered hand to her mouth, licking Edd's blood from her fingers. Everyone stared at her in shock. She yelped pulling her hand away.

"…the fuck was that, Nazz?!" Eddy cried out, his eyes wide.

"I-I don't know! It just…happened!" she replied, staring at the blood now beginning to seep through Edd's shirt.

Edd, for his part, was no longer paying attention. His focus was wasn't as sharp as it was just a few minutes ago.

"Double D?" he heard someone call out.

"Hmm?"

"Shit." That was Kevin, of this Edd was sure. "You need to eat something, Edd."

"N-no. I need to finish this." He motioned to the kit. Kevin pushed it away. "You took care of everyone already. You're bleeding again." Ed leaned on him, looking for warmth. He frowned when he felt how cold Kevin actually felt.

"I think he lost too much blood," Jimmy offered. Kevin shot him a glare.

"Well," Sarah began, lifting her hand to start counting, "we've managed to lose a car, our resident genius is indisposed, Nazz has a blood fetish, we're stuck in the middle of nowhere with no means of communication, and! To top it all off, there are creatures out in the forest who seem to want to eat us! Great fucking idea, Double D! 'Let's go on a camping trip.'"

Edd frowned at Sarah's mocking voice. "You are highly negative for someone who practically blackmailed her way into a trip." Kevin laughed and Eddy snorted. Sarah huffed, punching Jimmy in the shoulder when he giggled.

"Owie."

"Shut up, Jimmy."

"It didn't like light," Ed said suddenly. He pulled Sarah and Jimmy closer to the fire. "It didn't like light."

"Ok, Ed, geez," Sarah said. "It didn't like light."

Rolf leaned against the van. "The creature of the change did attack Rolf when he flashed his light to save Nazz-girl."

Kevin shrugged. "So then we just stay here until morning. If that thing tries to come here, just grab a branch, set it on fire and burn the fucker."

"Language," Edd muttered. He closed his eyes, allowing Kevin's hand rubbing his side to soothe him. They weren't going to go anywhere. Not this late, with half of the group injured and only one vehicle available.

Kevin frowned, looking down at Edd. It was a shame they were stuck there. He really looked like he could do with a warm bath.

Eddy opened the back of the van, pulling out what few blankets they had. When they were packing, it seemed like a good idea to split the supplies between the two vehicles. Now that they found themselves in this situation, it didn't seem like such a good idea. While most of the clothing and blankets were in Kevin's van, most of the food was in Edd's car. Eddy shook his head in annoyance. Hindsight wasn't just 20/20. It was a bitch, too.

"Well, it looks like we're camping here for tonight," he said, throwing blankets at everyone. "I think you guys should sleep in there," he pointed to Nazz, Kevin, Rolf and Edd," since you're all bleeding and shit."

Nazz nodded, staring at her hand. Rolf shook his head. "Rolf will stay awake to prevent the creature of the change from attacking Rolf's friends again. If it brings its face around here, Rolf will make it so justice will be swift and fast!"

"Yeah, sure. Whatever, Rolf," Eddy said. He gave the last blanket to Kevin. "Make sure he gets covered. He's too scrawny, and I don't want him kicking the bucket overnight because he bled and froze himself to death."

Kevin glared at him, snatching the blanket. "Thank you for that, dick." Eddy smirked, before heading towards the fire. Kevin unfolded the blanket, wrapping it tightly around Edd. He didn't feel cold, and he knew that Edd was prone to sickness more easily as he was, in Eddy's words "too scrawny".

He lay Edd down in the backseat of the van. Nazz was curled up in the front, but was still contemplating her hand. He took a look around the makeshift campsite. Eddy was already wrapped up and snoring. Jimmy and Sarah happened to play it smart, using one's blanket to cover the ground and the other to cover themselves. Ed wasn't sleeping at all as he kept a watchful eye on his sister.

Kevin wasn't sure if this was to protect her from whatever was out there, or from Jimmy. He chuckled at that.

Rolf was still leaning against the van, his face locked in a dark frown. This "creature of the change" thing seem to really sit badly with the foreigner, and he was determined to make sure that what happened a while ago didn't happen again.

Kevin groaned. What a fucking night. Everyone was accounted for, but not in one piece. Sitting himself on the floor, he watched Edd sleep. He looked paler than usual thanks to the blood loss. And forcing himself to move around with his injuries as bad as they were obviously hadn't helped anything.

Edd shifted and groaned in his sleep. Kevin raised his hand to comfort him, when he noticed the blood. It was from when he was rubbing Edd's side. He sighed. He hoped that he did stop bleeding. And that the wound didn't become infected. He trusted Edd when it came to almost all things medical. For fuck's sake, his father was the Chief of Medicine at a major hospital and his mother was a cardiac surgeon. But even with his vast knowledge, he still had a piece of glass jammed in his stomach.

Without realizing it, Kevin, just as Nazz had done, began to suck Edd's blood from his fingers. His reaction was different from Nazz's, though. His eyes closed in ecstasy as he let out a quiet moan. This was not normal, he knew that logically. But something about Edd's blood in his mouth felt extremely pleasurable. Almost…sexual.

These thoughts caused Kevin to stand up quickly and pull his hand out of his mouth. He cursed as he banged his head on the roof of the van. He jumped out, landing in an ungraceful pile at Rolf's feet.

"Casanova-Kevin boy?" Rolf asked in concern.

Kevin picked himself up. His heart was pounding. It almost seemed like his vision had heightened. Taking in a deep breath, he looked at Rolf. "Something's not right."

Kevin wasn't pissed anymore. Now, he was worried.
