If you have issues with bullying and some form of self harm this may trigger issues you have, so please if you can't read it skip over it or don't read at all. I love reviews so please do.
I do not own Ed, Edd and for boy/boy love.
Chapter one hope.
'Come on freak get out here we just want to talk to you!'
'No,go away!'
'Awww...The dork don't want to play with us.'
Hahahaha...
Hahahaha...
Bolting up in bed I'm nearly out of breath from that darn nightmare, those bullies keep getting worse with every year that passes. Ed and Eddy don't understand they are both well liked, despite how Ed acted he is quit smart. Eddy works with student council or well he will be working with them since we start our ninth year today, I'm so nervous about it all the bullies will get to me I just now it.
It was only three in the morning and I was to awake at this point to go back to sleep, so I simply got up from my labelled bed put on my bunny slippers and went down stairs.I flip on the kitchen light slightly hurting my eyes but I blink back the tears, walking to the fridge I pull out a bottle of water and drink.
'Bang,bang.'
'Cough' "Oh my, please hold on a moment!" I call out to who ever is banging on my front door at this hour, I hope it's not a prank by any of the old bullies I have. I quickly rush to the door in my own special way...Meaning I almost fall over myself to get to the door.
"May I help-Kevin?" I was shocked what was Kevin Barr doing here at my house this early in the morning?
"Hey Double dork mind if I come in?" He was being nice about it, the name was a term of endearment just a nickname he could never stop saying I guess.
"What on earth are you doing up so late Kevin?" I asking without the stutter from my past when ever I was around this bully.
"Saw you up dork...You going to let me in or what?" He just can't ever call me something nice can he? I sighed loudly and nodded letting him in and pointing to the shoe rack by the door, and the slippers he must put on like all my other guests of course groans about it but does it willingly, we walk to my kitchen were I hand him a water from my fridge and sit down at the table.
"So Kevin may I inquire why you are here so late?" I just can't understand him anymore.
He looks at me for a brief moment and then looks away quietly reply to my question which I couldn't hear him talk, "I'm sorry Kevin what did you say?"
"I couldn't sleep and I saw from my front door you were up to, do you want to hang out tell we have to leave for school?" He almost snapped out, but calmed down with a deep breath.
"Why couldn't you sleep Kevin?" Awww, the big question why couldn't he sleep I knew why I was up but him he was Kevin Barr the star of the baseball team.
"I-I-Dork why would you care!?" He yelled out but quickly as he did he stopped and almost looked scared of something, he shook his head and slumped forward almost defeated."I have nightmares of what I used to do to people, I can't be that type of guy anymore."His hands went to his cap rubbing his hair as he slid his hands down his face, he looked almost broken.
"Kevin." I felt bad for him, so I was going to do what I've never done with anyone before."I was awake because of everything that I was put threw this past year, I-I have been getting beaten up quit a lot." I heard him snap his head up to look at me, his eyes were wide with shock and fear.
"who's been hurting you Double D?" He whispered to me his hand coming to my arm in comfort for some odd reason I didn't flinch away like I normally would with the others.
"You used my name." I stated it was a surprise it really was he never uses it.
"Yeah but you didn't answer my question Edward who's been hurting you?" Oh my he used my real name I think I'm blushing, can't he tell I'm blushing I hope not."You look a bit red in the face are you okay?" Oh no he did notice the blush.
"I am quit alright Kevin I am simply not used to you using my name, it sounds so different coming from you then it does the others." I was blushing like a school girl now, oh lord someone save me from myself.
"Edd, please answer me who's hurting you?" He whispered my name, oh my.
"Your friends Kevin its always your friends and it will always be your friends, they call me names and on the worse days I've been beaten to the point of broken ribs." I mumbled out not really wanting him to hear me, but he did and the sharp intake of breath was enough for me to look up. I saw the shock of all this in his eyes he was so angry after I told him, but quickly calmed down.
"You mean my team or just everyone I know?" He asked as calmly as he could.
"Everyone Kevin anyone who sees fit to hurt me." I whimpered out, the tears that stung my eyes almost falling with every word spoken.
He knocked over the chair as he pulled me in for a hug, I stiffened at first but quickly hugged back."I'm sorry Edd, I'm so sorry I wont let them hurt you ever again I promise." I wanted to believe him I really did, but he never cared before, why now?
"Why are you acting so nice,when you used to beat me up to Kevin I do not understand?" I questioned, his body tensed and I could feel him putting me back on the ground.
"I used to hurt you but do you remember the last time I ever did anything to ya?" He looked almost hurt that I was making him out to be the bad guy.
"it was our summer before seventh grade, two week before to be accurate." I didn't see his point.
"That day I found out something about myself that I've only ever told one other person and now you, I can trust you can't I?" I simply nodded my head."I'm gay Edd, I like guys." He whispered in a serious tone but to me it sounded like a joke, so I stupidly laughed."You think I'm joking don't you?" He looked almost mad but with a smirk on his face, I didn't know what else to do other than nod my head yes."Fine I'll show you." He was to fast for me to react, his hand cupped my cheek as he push our lips together.
"Mmmm..." I moaned what am I doing he's messing with me this is a joke right? Right?
He started to deepen the kiss making me shiver as his tongue ran over my bottom lip, I wouldn't let him in I pushed away quickly shock written all over my face. "Kevin?" I wasn't mad at him just confused he was the most straight boy I knew, this was all to confusing."Your straight why would you kiss me, ME of all people why? This is not funny I do not find this a very funny joke Kevin, please explain what you are doing? If this is some way to pick on me I do not like it nor will I take this in my own house, I will see you to the door please leave." I was having a panick attack and Kevin looked scared so very scared this caught me off guard as he sunk to the ground, almost to afraid to look at me. "Kevin?" I quickly calmed my nerves down and walked to him, putting my hand on his should I could feel him stiffen shaking at my touch.
"Edd, please I-I-...It's not a joke and no one but you and Nazz know, please don't hate me your one of the only other people I can trust." He was looking me in the eyes dead serious, I could only nod my head to say I wouldn't tell a soul."You can't tell the other Ed's Double D you can't promise me that this is just between you me and Nazz." I nodded once more and hugged him to calm him down, he nuzzled up to my neck and I could hear him sob just by a little.
"What are you afraid of Kevin?" I couldn't hold the question in any longer.
"Of being hated by everyone." Was his watery reply.
"Not everyone would hate you the star of the baseball team." I reassured him.
"The last guy that came out on the team was kicked off Edd, they treated him so badly and I was apart of it I can't take it if they turn on me like I turned on my friend." He sobbed a bit harder this time I didn't know of the person he was spreeking of but I wanted to ask.
"Who was it?" He stiffened but I could hear the sigh as he spoke.
"His name was Jack he was the nicest person you could have ever met, but that all changed when he told some of the guys on the team that he was gay. They spread it around D they told everyone, he couldn't take the talking and names and the worst part was getting kicked from the team. The guys they would go so far as to write faggot on his locker, oh god Edd I was apart of all that he ended up moving and its all my fault. I should have stopped it I should have said something supported him, he was my friend why didn't i do something Edd?" He was crying again balling his hands on my shoulders, I could hear my shirt rip just a little from his strength.
"You were horrible yes." I shot back as if I had burned him with my words, he looked hurt and almost as it he wanted to run but I continued to talk."But with how you feel now I say you should call him, and tell him how sorry you are and that you didn't handle it the way you should have. If worse comes to worse Kevin you said how sorry you were you tried to write the wrong you did to this person, to your old friend and that in its self is you being a better human." He looked calmer then he did before his tears had finally stopped falling, he crawled back on the floor in front of me. He held out his hand I was confused now,"What?" He smiled and responded.
"I want to be friends with you Double D, a fresh new start can we?" I was shocked to say the least, I quickly smiled and took his hand shacking it.I was willing to trust him and give him a chance, besides everyone needed a second chance and this is his.
"Kevin you may never call me dork again are we clear?" He smiled at me and his eyes brightened at my words.
"You bet, and don't just think I'm not going to be your friend in school your stuck with me Double D. You and me we are going to be real tight, just like me and Nazz that girl is awesome can't wait for us all to hang out." He smiled at me and I smiled back a feeling in the pit of my stomach grew stronger with each passing moment, Kevin had no idea what he had done when he kissed me.
...^_^
"So Double D what do we do now that I'm done confessing my secrets to you?" Kevin asked me so softly I almost didn't hear him but I smiled holding my hand out, he quickly took it and we got up. I had gained in height since we were in junior high, I was now almost as tall as Kevin but still I was like a twig not very much meat on my bones at all. Unlike the very tan very fit Kevin who could break me like the twig I was, he had the body every guy wanted I was very jealous of this fact but didn't dwell on it.
"Let us go and watch some movies, Ed and Eddy love my T.V. room its state of the art in pretty much everything, my mother and father saw fit to treat me to this since I have perfect scores on all my report cards."I couldn't help the smug smile that pulled on to my lips when he finally walked into the T.V./Game room, no one but my friends had been in here so I was very happy to now have someone else to share it with.
"Dude really do you even play the Playstation 3? I mean I never thought you would be into it, since you know your smart and all I thought your heads always in the books." He laughed as he pulled out a few of the games he saw, smirking I replied in a smug tone.
"Well if you think I can't kick your ass then well your wrong I'm the best at all of these games, Ke-v-in." I could hear the gasp and the head snapping sound then I saw him looking at me in shock, I just smirked at him oh he thought I was such a good guy like everyone else little do they know I'm not so good.
"Dude you just said ass, you always get on everyone about their mouths what the fuck dude?" His laugh almost made me blush but I pushed it down I wouldn't let him get to me, I wont let this part of me win out not yet it has to wait.
"Oh well you see that just around people I deem not worthy to see this side of me, hell even Eddy don't ever see this side of me this is special. But I think since you told me your secret I can let you into my own special circle, there's only a few people who know of me being like this. You, Mary, Johnny and Rolf I do tend to slip up with Ed but he never really notices or doesn't care, but Eddy I wouldn't stoop to his level I love him don't get me wrong. But I wouldn't want him to think this is how I want to act all the time, cause it's not this is just for play and relaxing so are you going to pick a game so I can hand you your ass, or am I going to have to do the picking myself?" I smiled sweetly at him all the while thinking he would run away now this isn't the Edd he wants to be friends with, but he simply smiled and picked a fighting game.
"Hand me my ass...Yeah fucking right, I'm going to hand you yours damn it."He smirked as he put the game in flipping everything on, I simply smiled a new but old friend I didn't have to
"Bring it bitch." Was my not so nice reply, and I even punched his arm for added effect. He just laughed hard and smiled relaxing into my couch as the game began, oh yeah having him around would be hard he was just to perfect.
So we spent the past few hours playing games eating the food I made, and quickly getting to know one another as if we had been friends for longer. It was something knew but old all at the same time it felt nice, I had invited over Johnny and Mary to hang out since I new they would be up. It quickly became a small breakfast party something I didn't mind Kevin asked if he could call Nazz over this made Mary giggle just a little, some how Kevin picked up on this giggle and gave her a knowing look. Nazz showed up not to long after and quickly got comfy with everyone around, I was surprised to see her so comfortable in my home with everyone around.
School didn't start tell eight thirty so we had plenty of time I quickly made more food, and brought out drink getting thanks all around, I was quit happy at the moment. I had added two more friends to my group and I was thrilled, Rolf rolled around about ten minutes after Nazz and found his spot near was quit amazed to see that Rolf was in this special circle I had, but he simply stated something about his Nana and the subject was then dropped.
"So Edd, are you straight or what?" Nazz asked I choked on my drink and coughed quickly as Kevin patted me on the back, everyone in the room was laughing knowing full well what I was.
"Nazz that is not a very nice thing to ask someone when they are drinking." I waved my finger at her scolding her for her actions, she blushed but grunted.
"Well are you?" I was going to die from blushing, I ws so red I think you could fry and egg on my face.
"Oh dear, umm...I am not sure I should answer this question?" I quickly looked around the room for anyones help on the matter, but they all looked at me with eager eyes even Kevin...sigh..."I'm gay." Was my simple reply which made Nazz jump up and down, and the rest of the room go back to what they were doing they had already been informed.
"..." Kevin had gotten up and went out of the room.
I followed behind him worried that what I had just said would have been to much for him to handle, he was sitting at the table his head in his hands shaking.
"Kevin?" I sat next to him, his head snapped up and I saw it he was laughing?
"Your not straight...I thought you would hate me and here this whole time your just like me, oh god this is a relief I was so worried." I looked at him and laughed along I could see why he would be worried, being friends with a straight guy its hard I do it daily with Ed and Eddy.
"I think we are good now right?" I asked him softly.
"Yeah I was stressed out...but I'm way better now,thanks for telling us." He smiled softly at me a real smile the kind that made your eyes sparkle, I love that smile.
"We still have an hour before school want to go and play more?" He nodded his head and we rushed back to the other room were we tackled the others, laughing in a more relaxed atmosphere then before.
My house seemed so empty now that everyone was gone, they had left to get ready for the day ahead of them. I quickly pulled on my clothes after scrubbing in the shower, I put on my hat and grabbed my bag already nervous about the day ahead of me. I knew the moment I walked threw those doors Kevin and Nazz would ignore me once more, maybe the rumor about me being gay would start up again? No telling but here goes nothing right, cant put life on hold cause of my fears.
Quickly walking up to the double doors of the peach creek high school I gulped down my nerves, pushing open the doors I was greeted to a surprise I was not expecting...Kevin.
"Whats up Double D?" He waved making all his friends look my way, their eyes glaring at me already wanting to hurt me."Hey fuckers, I see what your doing anyone of you assholes hurts Double D and they answer to me. The guys cool okay, any issues with that order and we can settle this just fine on the field." He smiled at me once more pushing off the wall he was leaning on walking over to me and patting me on the shoulder, his arm was now placed around my shoulders and he was now walking with me.
"Greeting Kevin, how is your morning going thus far?" I almost stuttered but I didn't and he smiled softly to me.
"Going pretty damn well man, so are we hanging out later or what I think you owe me a rematch on that game?" He smirked and I smirked back.
"Heck no you lost that's all on you." I slipped into my comfort zone to easily around him darn it.
"Oh, straight to the heart man. Come on you owe me, I got my ass handed to me ten times by you." He laughed along with me as I put my stuff in my locker, I couldn't believe he was hanging with me he wasn't lying.
"So Kevin what do you have for your classes?" I quickly asked pulling my class schedule out, he groaned and pulled his out to.
"Oh wow, Kevin you have most of my classes I did not think you were into learning like I am?" He laughed and blushed a bit rubbing the back of his head.
"Yeah about that, I'm actually pretty smart I want to get into building bikes and all. So you kinda have to know the working of an engine and all, what about you what are you planning on doing?" The question caught me by surprise I looked at him with wide eyes.
"Oh dear, um...Well mother and father wish for me to go into some for of doctoring, but if you really want to know what I want to do its kinda silly?" I quickly blushed and looked away, he was nodding ready to hear my answer."I wish to design games." I said so quietly that he almost didn't hear me, but I heard him snicker at my answer.
"dude that would be cool, why don't you?" He was so naive on this.
"I need mother and fathers money to go to college Kevin, sadly I do not do sports and even with my grades I may not get a scholarship." He looked at me with a bit of anger in his stare.
"Dude you're the smarted dumb guy I know, I'm sure you will get into any college you want your way to smart." He smiled and patted me on the back, at that moment Ed and Eddy showed up shoving Kevin away from me as if he was hurting me.
"What the hell you want shovel chin?" Eddy snapped out at Kevin making me flinch at his tone, I hated when Eddy was so loud in the mornings.
"Hello gentlemen how are we this fine morning, and Eddy, Kevin and I were just talking about our classes seeing as we are friends." I could hear Eddy grinding teeth at my words he was mad as his sharp stare turned on me, I could already hear his words in my head.
"He's not a friend Sockhead he's a dick who bullies us, he lies and cheats I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him."Eddy growled out looking red in the face his short body looking bigger with each word he snapped out.
"Eddy looks like the monsters on one of my sci-fi movies Double D, Eddy scary run AWAY Double D...Run..." Awww, Ed you lovable gaint you, grabbing both my hand and Kevin's as he dashed down the hallway Eddy yelling for us to come back.
"Double D and Kevin are friends now yes?" Ed smiled happily at us.
"Yes Ed we are how are you today?" He smiled and hugged Kevin.
"You be good to MY Double D okay...or I will hurt you do not make me, are we understood Kevin barr?"The last part I could not hear but Kevin looked shocked, knowing my lovable brother figure he threatened to beat him up if he was not nice to me.
"Yeah man we good, so Ed what you got for classes." Heres something no one but I knew of, Ed was smart just as smart as I, I simply laughed as Ed handed Kevin his paper who choked on air at seeing it."Dude the fuck is this?" He nearly yelled but caught himself and in a rough whisper asked Ed about his schedule.
"That is my classes Kevin, not many people know this of me but I have dreams of getting my ass out of this town and being something." kevin looked shocked, I just laughed hard at this me and Ed falling into one another.
"You guys are joking right?This is a sick joke Ed why the hell would you act like a dumbass if your smart." It was at that moment Ed and I both sobered up and answered him.
"His/My family Kevin." He looked confused.
"They are not rich kevin nor do they support Ed that well, his sister is the favored child. If they found out Ed had the brains in the family they might try and hurt him, Ed plays dumb for a reason and the teachers never have issues with keeping his smarts to themselves." Kevin almost looked stunned and was gaping now.
"I'm sorry are you saying they would beat you if you were better than Sarah?" He really was shocked, and Ed just nodded.
"They do not like me being better than her, or them for that matter I learned that a long time ago." He sighed shaking his head, this was the moment Eddy caught up to us I snatched Eds paper back and put it in his pocket.
"There you jerks are what the hell Ed, Kevin is bad news why did you run off with him and Sockhead?" I wanted to slap Eddy but held off.
"Cause Eddy, friends are friends Eddy...Double D buttered toast for breakfast?" Oh Ed I hope you are to good, I smiled and nodded.
"Yes Ed let's go get breakfast, Kevin you coming?Eddy?" I looked back as Ed playfully dragged me away.
"Stay away from Sockhead." Growled out Eddy to Kevin.
"Oh and why should I?" I couldn't understand his issue, we are just friends.
"He's my friend Shovel chin stay away from him and Ed, poor Ed thinks your going to be nice you're a prick your just using Double D for school right you dumb rock." He pushed past me growling I smirked oh Eddy if only you knew the real them.
"You know what Eddy I think I'm going to ignore you, I happen to like them both they seem pretty cool you on the other hand your still a small-minded jerk who can't get over the past." I walked way at that point, hearing him calling me a dick and huffing as he followed me to the caffatiera.
"What took you boys so long Eds almost eaten the whole breakfast bare himself, if your hungry I suggest you go eat...like now." I simply waved my hand as Ed shoved more toast and gravy into his mouth, oh Ed this will not end well for you.
"Damn dude cool your hungry tummy and have some tumes you gonna need them with all the heart burn your going to have later."Kevin said pulling Ed away from the food and handing him some anti acid tablets, this surprised me why would Kevin need those?
"Kevin that was very nice of you." I smiled at him patting him on the arm, he pulled me into a hug with him and ed.
"Dude Eddy threatened to kick my ass if I even so much as talked to you two, why have you guys not said anything to Eddy about your smarts and cool attitude?" Ed looked at me and we both sighed, this was going to be hard to explain.
"My house later tonight after Eddy is for sure a sleep understood?" I told Kevin and Ed they both nodded and we departed from our hug.
The day at that point seemed to fly by rather fast Kevin had most of my classes with me as well as Ed, notes were written down and quickly put away. As the last period of the day rolled around Ed and Eddy walked with me to our homes in the Cul-de-Sac, Kevin having practice or was it try outs either way I was rooting for him to do well.
"Dude why did you have to befriend our enemy Sockhead?" Eddy once again asked me this was the fourth time in our walk to our homes, I sighed and once again answered.
"We are friends Eddy because he came over and finally said how sorry he was for everything I being the person I am gave him a chance, I would wish for other to do the same for me." He sighed and rubbed his face with his hands once again, he grumbled and changed the subject to a prank we should pull.
"I think we should do this guys, come on it would be funny as hell. Just think about it the whole baseball team covered in orange it would be so cool, Kevin and the others would look like pumpkins." He laughed Ed and I eye rolled and shook our heads no to Eddy, this made him mad and run off in anger slamming his door to his house.
"Good god why is it that we deal with him again Double D?" Even Ed had the same thought as me just now...sigh.
"Because Ed he was the one that saved us from being alone." I new we had grown up and Eddy just seemed to be stuck in his prank stage far longer then either of us would have liked.
"Yeah I know its just...Cant we talk to him? He's so stuck in acting like a kid it's getting to be too much, and honestly I would like it if I could act like this around him to." I understood I really did but Eddy just wouldn't understand he was to into himself at the moment.
"Not yet Ed, but I think once he is a bit more mature we will bring him into our circle." I said patting my brother figure on the back as we walked up to my house.
A few hours later there was a knock on my door, I quickly rushed down the steps and opened the door.
"Eddy?" I asked all to surprised I wasn't expecting him I really wasn't, Ed and I were waiting on Kevin.
"Hey um...can I come in?" shyly asked as well, okay somethings up but what?
"Eddy what have you done?" I asked in a stern voice, he flinched away and looked a bit more shy than before.
"I may have pulled a prank I need help getting out of." He stated nervousness in his voice.
"No Eddy please tell me you didn't dye them all orange?" I asked him hoping beyond hope that I was wrong.
"Oh I think he did do just that Double D." Kevin growled out walking up the path leading to my door, he was bright orange and looking pissed.
"Kevin? Oh dear." I looked between the two of them, Eddy almost hyperventilating from fear. Kevin almost ready to punch Eddy for which he would so have the right to do, but I quickly put that thought behind me and spoke up."Kevin please come in I think I have something to get you back to normal, Eddy go home and stay there I wish for you to think on what you have done." I scolded him shooing him away as I grabbed on to the growling jock and pulled him threw my door, I pushed him into the bathroom after I waved Eddy off.
"Dude why didn't you let me hit him?" He growled as I turned on the water to the shower.
"Because Eddy is not okay right now, this is a prank asking for attention and its going to get him all the wrong kinds. He needs Ed and I Kevin Eddy is...Well Eddy is abused Kevin. He wasn't loved right as a kid and seeks violence as a form of love, I have tried to get him to stop but he's scared of it, the only way people see him he says."I bit my bottom lip in nervous habit, but was pulled out of it by the site of an almost naked Kevin.."Dear lord man have some shame." I quickly darted from the room,hearing him chuckle at me as I left.
"Edd how the hell do I get out of being orange!?" He yelled to me as I hear the curtain close behind him.
I laughed and ran to my room, I had picked up the special soap I made a long while ago. Due to all the pranks I had to put up with a lot of dying of my skin or Eds, so we came up with a soap to use when this happened.
"Knock, knock...I come barring a gift for the oh mighty orange one." I laughed once again as I heard him grumble.
"Dear god this soap is amazing." He sang out as he cleaned himself, I laughed my butt off while I left the room and him in it.
An hour later and much scrubbing from the red-head, we all sat around my T.V. room, talking about not only school our friends but Eddy as well.
"So I knew of his brothers mental abuse but his mom and dad do it to?" Kevin not so subtly asked me this question.
"Yes, but he prefers to make it out like nothing it wrong." I replied calmly as I could.
"Well shit." His head was bowed and he looked as though he was upset.
"So you see why we are and will always remain his friend, we ask that you also lesson up on him. We do see that you to have a bond that is important to him, he needs you and well you need him to survive in a way." Ed said this so elegantly I almost forgot how smart he truly was, I simply nod my head in agreement.
"I can't pick on him anymore, nor do I want to keep up a game of sorts. I think I need to figure this all out guys, its ton of shit to take in and it's just not something I'm used to. I mean my mom loves me my father does to, I'm only a bully because I'm a jerk by nature. But I'm trying to change that it was affecting my mom and dad by a lot, hearing all the things I did to others it made my mom cry over the summer. I just don't think I can hurt them or anyone else, my mom told me some stuff about when she was in school Double D it was bad things I do to people she had done to her." Kevin for the first time that I've ever seen looked guilty, his eyes were dark with memories of the past they haunted him you could see it clear as day.
"I do understand this Kevin, but pray tell how are you going to get Eddy to be your friend?" I can't just let this go, god Kevin is going to tire of me soon.
"Don't know that one yet but I will figure it out, just like I did with you guys I will make this better. Even if it means I wont be on the baseball team cause of who I am hanging out with, I am smart enough to get into a college somewhere...I'm sure of it...Coughs...Yeah, yes I am." He looked determined and this only made Ed and I smile with relief once Kevin Barr set his mind on something he was sure to get it.
"Edward darling where home...Sweety?" Aww mother always coming home at the wrong times, why was it now of all times that I'm in the middle of an experiment that she has to call for me.
"Dude your mom's calling you, you can't just not answer her." Kevin snapped at me, ME.
"Uhg...Yes mother I'm upstairs working on a school project I have a guest in my room, how can I be of assistance to you and father?" I very kindly asked her what she wanted when really all I wanted to do was roll my eyes, they call me son but really I'm just bragging rights to their friends and people they work with.
"We have food dear please help put it away." I almost let out an angry groan but I got up to do as I was asked, to my utter surprise Kevin stood as well.
"Dude I can help, I practically live here." He smiled that one smile that shows all his pearly white teeth, his perfect teeth they made me shiver.
"Okay Kevin please follow me." We quickly made our way down the steps and out side where my mother and father stood waiting, they almost looked shocked to see Kevin follow so close behind me.
"Son, who is your friend?" My father almost stuttered out, but held strong he was much shorter than Kevin was and you could feel the fear come off of him.
"Oh pardon my rudeness sir, my name is Kevin Barr I live across the street its a pleasure to meet you both." Kevin very softly stated who he was and bowed kindly to my family, this was the moment my mother hmmm'ed and nodded her head in approval.
"It is very lovely to meet you Kevin, your father owns the candy factory right?" Mother was always a bit off, but Kevin just smiled and stood straight.
"Oh no he works there as management ma'am." Oh my he was being very polite this is outstanding.
"Oh, and what of your mother?" This made Kevin stiffen a bit but he simply smiled once more.
"My mother has become ill and will not be able to work anymore, or...Well at least until her health improves. But she did do teaching at the elementary school, she's a pretty good teacher and the kids love her they miss her since she's not been working send cards all the time."He was smiling but it was so dull and lifeless I was almost in tears, his eyes were red with all the tears he was holding back. My mother surprised everyone by bringing him into her arms and hugging him, he simply broke down at that point never had I seen him cry but there he was balling in my mothers arms.
"You must be so stressed out dear boy, you are welcome here when ever you want night or day." My mother cooed softly to him my father nodding in agreement of her words, and standing to hug Kevin with her I moved in as well and as a family hugged Kevin in comfort.
"Mother is there anything else you may require us for, if not we will be upstairs working on our homework?" I quickly asked as my mother was unloading the bags and restocking the fridge and cabinets, she smiled and waved us off.
"No dear please make sure your done by dinner your father is taking us out to eat, since we have not had a dinner with you in three months. Oh and Kevin?" She looked up at Kevin with a bright smile I was jealous of him in that moment,she never smiled at me like that warm and bright.
"Yes." He cocked his head to the side almost confused.
"Your coming with us dear, your part of our family now to please clear it with your family." Mother you can be so dumb sometime, but it was a sweet offer Kevin would have better-.
"Oh yeah okay I will call them right now, I would love to come to dinner thank you." He bowed and walked away with his cell in hand, I was to say the least shocked that he accepted.
"Dad, hey um...Listen Edwards family asked if I could go to dinner with them is it alright?"
"Well, I might need you to come home and handle your mom kiddo."
"Please dad...Its been a while since I got out, and its with Edward the smart kid from across the street."
"I understand you need some you time son I really do, but I need to have you handle your mom tonight."
"What do you have going on tonight that I can't go and eat dinner one night this week with a friend and his family, you know how long its been since I was out with a friend?"
"Don't argue with me, you coming home at your time limit and that's that."
"No dad I'm not, for the first time in six months I'm saying no."
"How dare you argue with me, I put a food on the table to feed you a home for you to sleep in, I will not have you argue with me."
"What do you got going on dad that I can't have one night?"
"Its none of your concern what I got going on, you need to be home to take care of your mother."
"Dad, please tell me your not cheating on mom?"I didn't mean to ease drop but hearing those words in a sob out of Kevin's mouth broke my heart, mother and father were right behind me hearing this to.
"If you ever ask me anything like that again I will beat you!"
"Dad please tell me your not?"
"I refuse to answer a child, get your ass home NOW!"
"This child happens to take care of mom on a nightly daily basis I would like to hear what mom has to say about you sleeping around."My father's hand tightened around my shoulder I looked to him to see him smiling proudly at Kevin, I was jealous once more.
"You wouldn't dare talk to your mother about this, she wouldn't believe you she loves me to much and is to sick to even do anything if I was."
"Dad I will not be coming home tonight its a Friday and I am staying over at Edwards please do not contact me tell Sunday, my phone will be off for the next few days see you later."
"Kevin if you're not home in two hours your grounded for the rest of your high school life, and your friendship with Edward is gone you come home now your never talking to him again."
"Bye dad."
"Kev-" Snap.
He cut his father off, with a deep breath and a heavy sigh he walked out running into all three of us.
"Oh god you heard all of that didn't you?" He was red in the face almost looking angry at the three of us.
"Yes dear boy we did, but you are welcome to stay for as long as you like. We will handle your father in the event of him trying anything, you're welcome here for as long as you want." I snapped my fathers smile my mothers loving eyes, they are never here for me why him?
"I can't fucking believe this you love on a complete stranger who you just met...You both never smile like that at me, never show your proud of me for anything I do. I can't believe how much care you just showered my friend who is not related to you by blood, but yet you will not show me love in the least missing birthday after birthday for work. You look at me like I am a prize and that's it, I'm done I will no longer do as you ask you have both lost my affections...I will not go to dinner with any of you, goodnight." I stormed off for the first time in my life I said something to Mother and Father, I am so afraid Kevin will hate me for saying these things but at the moment it's not my concern.
"Double D, wait up!" Kevin yelled out follow closely behind me.
"What do you want Kevin." I snapped throwing my hands up in the air, my face was red with anger and I could feel the heat coming off of me.
. feet scrapping on carpet, SLAM.
"KEV-," SLAP.
"Your family was being nice, they were proud of me for standing up for something. But they love you dude how dumb can a smart person be, I could freaking see the pride welling up in them when their eyes met you. Your mom fuck dude your mom broke down in tears when you walked away, she kept saying you were right that she's a bad mom. My moms dyeing dude she's not going to get better, she's going to be in a grave this time next year. But your mom she's here she loves you yeah they have a shitty way of loving their son, but damn it Edd they fucking love you. Your dad puts all your awards up on the walls anything and everything that you win, can you even see that or are you just that fucking blind? Just fucking look at the walls instead of cleaning them look at the walls dude, I walk in here and its like a shrine to how amazing you are. You have it good man the only thing I've got is a trophy case for sports, my family doesn't give a shit about my grades but sports, as long as I got those I'm loved do you get it now dude do you see what I'm saying?" He panted and walked back and forth anger seeping out of every pore, he turned sharply looking me died in the eyes as he spoke in a gruff husky voice I almost couldn't stop my hands from darting to his face.
"You will go and talk to them Edward, you will fix this and we all will go out to dinner like they wanted are we understood?" I shivered but nodded my head, and there it was the Kevin Barr smile I loved so much."Good now let's go down stairs mister and talk to mom and dad okay." He smiled at me when I snorted at his mom and dad comment, always making me shiver.
"Mother, Father?" I walked into the livingroom whispering their names softly not wanting to anger them more, or upset them.
"Edward." Oh Father your angry but staying calm as usual
"Son." Mothers calm voice almost made me snap again, but this time it was Kevin who spoke up.
"Oh would you three knock it off already, enough is enough you guys need to talk things out like a family not a well oiled machine."I blink and was slightly confused as were my parents.
"What?" Came our reply to his upserd metaphor.
"What I mean is...'sigh', is that you guys can't talk like this. Its not normal to say Mother,Father, Son its weird and so formal why can't you guys just talk like how I am right now?" Kevin pointed out making my Father nod his head, Mother did the same thing.
"Sweetheart we are sorry you felt this way about us, I understand you feel upset about us working all the time. I also understand the lack of us being here would affect you in more ways than just emotional, we have come up with a proposal if you wouldn't mind hearing it?" Mother smiled softly to me for the first time in years I saw the love I had not felt, and it made me want to hear them out so I nodded.
"Fine, proceed." I waved my hand still angry with them I would not give in so easily.
"Father and I will from this moment on take off your birthday and holidays as we should have been doing to begin with, also we will take at least two weeks off in summer to do something of your choosing." I looked almost shocked but held strong only the day of my birthday, that wouldn't cut it.
"I wish for you to be here the day before and after my birthday giving me a solid three days and two nights with you, I agree to the other terms of this arrangement if you do those days for me?" I smiled at them softly I could feel them almost shocked that I agreed to the terms so easily.
"We agree to these terms and are happy to do so, we shouldn't have taken so long to tell you how proud we are of you, this was a long time coming my sweet child may I have a hug?" Both Mother and Father held out their arms standing up to hug me I am much taller than both of them, so I smiled tugging Kevin with me as we hugged my parents both smiling like fools.
So dinner went smoothly mom and dad quickly took a liking to my more relaxed demeanor, and were happy to hear that Kevin would be staying for the weekend aft they had called his happily told her husband to shove his attitude up his ass, making my mother laugh and talk to Kevin's mother for almost an hour about anything and everything.
"Hey Edd where am I sleeping the guest rooms a mess right now from your parent's unloading their stuff?" Kevin smiled at me while we shuffled some of the bags and boxes out-of-the-way.
"My room I guess?Thats if you don't mind sharing my full-sized bed it might be tight since your bigger in body size then I am, but I think it will still work." I smiled at him and noticed his slight blush, my mother also seemed to notice his blush and giggled softly to herself making me blush as well.
"Mother." I snapped making her burst out into a fit of laughter.
"Oh...Hahaha...Dear...Hahahaha...Me...Hahahah...Ha aahaahaa..I'm..Haha..Sorry...Haaaa..." Dear lord is she rolling on the ground, she is her dark red dress and black hair flying all around as she rolls on the ground. Her eyes that mirrored my own sparkled with tears from laughing so hard, I am so embarrassed but what made it worse was Kevin laughing with her.
"Mother, Kevin please stop this nonsense." I was panicked, mother didn't know of my sexuality and it was making me feel self-conscious all over again.
"Oh please Edward a mother always knows what her son prefers." She sat up in that moment and looked me dead in the eye serious and calm, it made me nervous and Kevin had stopped laughing now to.
"Oh, so you figured it out? How did you do it cause I just found out myself?" Kevin smiled at her she simply smirked at him and me.
"Like I said a mother always knows some of us just chose to ignore it but others love their children for who they are, and boy do I love you." She tackled me down to the ground kissing my face and forehead, she quickly and with more strength then I knew she had pulled Kevin down with us."You two are very special and here in this house will always be loved not for what you do, but for who you are and I think your father who happens to be crying in the door would agree." She smirked up at my Dad who almost squeaked in a none manly way, but quickly tackled us in a group hug once again I am going to have to get used to this aren't I?
"Thank you Mom Dad it means a lot to me that you love me no matter what, and that you love Kevin to." I smiled to my parents and then to Kevin who was blushing once more not sure what for this time, but he was happy and it showed in his eyes this time.
It was finally time for bed the lights where off all over the house, hearing Kevin's steady breathing next to me was almost mind-blowing. But what got me was in his state of rest he had turned his body facing me, putting his arms around my body and holding me to him. He nuzzled my his head in between my neck and chin, sighing happily to himself as he was comfortable once again. I myself was being lolled to sleep by the rhythm of his breathing soft and sweet, I was quickly taken into a the dark were for the first time in month I slept threw the night.
'I hear giggling.'
Click.
'Was that a camera?'
"Hmmm..." I heard Kevin start to wake up, I unconsciously moved into him snuggling up to his chest.
'Giggle.'
Click.
"Mom, if your taking pics of me and Edward could you at least not giggle so much?" Kevin sighed as he rolled over still holding me in place on his clothed chest, my mother was in the room when I looked up blushing were I lay.
"Hello boys, I just couldn't help it if you all are hungry I made breakfast." Father said from the door.
"Have you no shame parents?" I snipped out at them hiding my head under the covers embarrassed by their layed back attitudes on this matter.
"Oh come on Edward we just love to tease you, all though this is going to be my Christmas card for our friends and family this year." This made Kevin and I shoot up and try to grab the camera away from her, she laughed rather evilly as she ran past father.
"Oh dear." I bowed my head in defeat.
"Dude we are so dead if anyone sees those pictures." He laughed was he having fun with this?
"Why are you laughing?" I just can't keep my thoughts in my own head around him.
"Cause for once I don't care if anyone sees us like that, I love your family man they are so excepting better than my dad trust me." On that note there was a knock at the door down stairs and it was rather rough, Father snapped his head up at it.
"Sweetheart wait tell we are down stairs do not open the door!"Father yelled making a mad dash for the stairs, Kevin and I close behind mother was to weak to actually protect her self from harm we were worried.
The knocks grew louder and a shout of Kevin's name from a male voice yelled for him to come outside, Kevin's father sounded as if he were slurring his words..Drunk perhaps?
"Dad go away, your drunk and we aren't opening the door tell you sober up and don't go bugging mom either." Kevin told his father in a stern voice, the banging stopped and a sob was heard threw the door.
"Your mom passed away last night Kevin, she refused to let me call you to come home." He sobbed again Kevin stiffened my mother gasped but held his arm as she opened her phone, to call Kevin's mom he silently thanked her the phone rang once before a voice picked up on the other end.
"Hello Mrs. Barr its Elizabeth yes Edwards mother your husband is drunk and on our door step lying to your son that you have passed away, I am going to call the police and have him arrested for drunkenly conduct. I wanted to call and make sure you were alright before I did so, are you alright Mrs. Barr?" My mother the ever thinking very brilliant women, just won this fight before Kevin rushed out with his father to what ever doom lied in wait.
"Oh for the love of god, yes please do as you will and my son I hope he is welcome to stay for as long as you all don't mind having him. I would also like to thank you for making that phone call to my doctor last night, he was surprised to receive the money I needed for the treatment thank you so much."Kevin turned on my mother and held her hand with a smile that nearly blinded us, he bowed to her as she hung up and called the police.
It did not take long for the police to show up after hearing what mother told them, they were quit upset with Mister Barr and asked him many question on what he planned to do to his son. This raised a few questions of my parents as well they both talked to the police, and to Mister Barr who smiled a wicked grin and told them loud and clear.
"I was going to beat him to an inch of his life for going against me, to bad someone was to smart for their own good. Calling my wife really that's one smart ass move, just you wait kiddo once I'm out of lock up you and I are going to have some words." He laughed deep and amounous it made me shiver and not the good kind but out of fear, my mother looked scared but my father to my surprise punched Kevin's dad in the face.
"Dad/honey?" My mother and I both snapped out.
"You ever come anywhere near MY BOYS and I will kill you, and yes officer that is a threat on his life and I dare you to try me." I was shocked to say the least Kevin as well had his jaw gaping at my dad, a man two times smaller than Kevin's father knocked the man on his ass.
"Go Dad!" We both yelled at the same time, this made Kevin's Father look up at him in shock, anger, pain, and hatred for his son.
"Oh I see how it is, I wonder how your mother would feel if she found out you're a faggot?I should tell her it's the least I could do for the sick women, god knows she would hate you the second she finds out. Hell God hates you freaks I'm sick to think I actually breed one of you, your no longer my son you faggot get your shit out of my house before I get back!" Yelled Mister Barr to his son who stood shocked at his fathers hurtful words, and then he began to shake from fear in what his mother would think of him.
"No." He whispered under his breath,"this can't happen I love my mom she could die from this." He whimpered as Kevin's father yelled at the top of his lungs for all our neighbors to hear,"dad stop please." Kevin whispered softly in a defeated voice making his father smirk in victory.
"LISTEN UP NEIGHBORS KEEP YOUR SONS AWAY FROM MY BOY, HE'S GAY THE LITTLE FAG LIKE IT UP THE ASS!" Kevin fell backwards as every one of our neighbors started to whisper, my heart sank into my stomach how could his dad do this. Whispered heard all around, Nazz crying as she ran over to Kevin who was now so broken he didn't hear her say his name over and over again.
"PARDON ME, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I DO NOT CARE THAT HE IS GAY I AM AS WELL. YOU ALL ARE OUR FRIENDS IF YOU TRULY CARE FOR US YOU WILL SEE PAST THIS, AND LOVE US FOR WHO WE ARE IF NOT THEN PLEASE FUCK OFF!" Kevin snapped his head up in shock looking at me with a wide smile on his face his eyes filled with life once again, our neighbors to our surprise cheered at my words and yelled for Kevin's father to go.
I was picked up in a tight almost bone crushing hug,"Thank you Edd, thank you so much." In that one moment Kevin kissed me in front of everyone in the Cul-de-Sac, I was of course lost to the world since this kiss was filled with all the love he had for me and me for him."I love you Edward, from the first time I saw you and talked to you I knew all this time and was so scared to say it. Please date me?" The last part came as a question and everyone was waiting on bated breath for my reply.
"Kevin Barr you are and always will be the first person I've ever truly loved, and I would love to be with you." It almost sounded like I was saying yes to a proposal of marriage but hell I wasnt going to pass this up, the cheers from our friends were heard Ed and Eddy were to my surprise very happy.
"He shovel chin you hurt him I hurt you got it?" Oh Eddy you over protective brother.
"Same goes for me Kevin, I will snap you like a twig." Everyone turned to see an all to serious Ed who cracked his knuckles, making Kevin shiver in fear who nodded in agreement.
"Promise you Ed and Eddy I will take good care of him." He smiled at Ed who went back to being his goofy self in no time flat, oh you if only other knew of your smarts.
Coughs,"Son are you sure he's who you want?" Asked my parents in their parental tone of voice, I smiled and laughed kissing Kevin once again.
"Hell ya!" Was my not so elegant reply making all our friends gasp out of surprise.
"Double D?" All our friends said at once, I just giggled as Kevin put me down hugging me to him.
"He's mine, see you all later."Kevin dragged me up the walking path to my front door and closed it behind us once we were inside, I could hear the police leaving and my mother and father chatting up he neighbors."Double yummy." Kevin whispered in my ear softly biting it as he made up a nickname that had me getting quit hot all over."Your mine right?" He whispered as he licked my earlobe softly again getting a shiver out of me, I was blushing so hard I think I was redder then a tomato.
"Yes Kevin I'm yours." I whimpered as he picked me up and kissed my neck, but of course that was short lived when my mother coughed from behind us.
"Hello boys." She smiled impishly at us.
"Yes mother?" I couldn't help the shiver that ran threw me as Kevin's fingers danced along my arms, he was starting to get to me my member was twitching not a good think in front of my parents.
"You two okay after what just happened?" My father looked a tad bit uncomfortable Kevin seemed to notice and stopped touching me, this made my dad look guilty for a moment but a silent thank you was given in a nod to Kevin.
"Yes mom I'm okay and I think Kevin is alright as well." I stated looking to my now boyfriend, that's odd to say in my head wonder how it would taste on my lips as I voice it.
"Yes I'm fine a little shook up, but happy to hear my moms going to get treatment and that I hope I get to stay here for how ever long she's away?" My mother laughed and nodded her head, smiling to my father as she did.
"Under some rules since your both dating each other now, you are to not sleep together tell you graduate from high school and I mean sex...Are we understood young men?" I almost got upset tell I saw Kevin's smile and him nodding in agreement, I was a tad bit worried the things he did to me I wanted him and bad.
"I understand and thank you for allowing me to stay." He was so polite I like it when he shows that side of himself.
"Good, now lets eat some late breakfast I'm starving." Fathers stomach growled to make a point and ours seem to follow we all laughed and nodded, heading to the kitchen to eat our breakfast.
