Hey guys! Omg I have been sick as a dog for the entire week. I hardly had the energy to get anything done so thankfully I had this little piece just sitting around on my desk top waiting to be edited. With Grace and Civility will be updated soon but for now I hope you guys enjoy this.

Summary: An unenthusiastic Kevin tags along with Nazz to a dance studio but when they run into the Double Dork he gets the shock of his life.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot of this story folks.


Nazz walked through the doors of the dance hall with brilliant smile plastered on her face. Her blue eyes sparkled with a euphoric gleam as she skipped down the halls towards one of the dance rooms located near the back, hand in hand with certain red head who couldn't even spell euphoric if his life depended on it. She smiled up at him and he returned the lop sided smirk.

"I'm so happy you wanted to sit in and watch me practice today." She chuckled, pushing back some of her sunny yellow hair behind her ear.

Kevin shrugged indifferently. "Yeah I know. You've been saying that all day."

His voice was laced with a little irritation but Nazz passed it off as Kevin just being Kevin. Their fingers were laced together as they wandered the campus, though their bodies touched nowhere else. Kevin was sure to keep the right amount of distance from her with Nazz none the wiser. They came to a stop in front of a heavy blue door with a single faded window. Kevin was tall enough to peek through and saw a lone figure inside.

"Looks like someone got here before you."

Nazz raised a brow before pushing the door open. Sure enough there was someone inside. Nazz's face brightened when she recognized smooth white skin and feathery black hair hidden under a beanie.

"Oh Double D! I didn't realize you were coming in for practice today." She said cheerfully, placing her duffle bag on the ground beside the bench Kevin had perched himself on.

The second tallest of the Ed trio glanced back at the sound of a familiar voice and smiled, his predominant gap showing. "Oh Nazz. I did not think there would be others coming today. My apologies."

Naz chuckled and waved him off. "No need to apologize. I just hope I'm not interrupting."

Kevin's eyes danced in boredom from his girlfriend and onto Double D, his eyes scanning the younger teen head to toe. Double D had certainly grown up from their middle school years. He was a few inches taller, though he was still skinny as a twig. But rather than just flesh hanging on bone Kevin was surprised to see lean muscle where one would never guess was. The dweeb's sweat pants were hanging dangerously low on his hips with just a single not in the string keeping them in place. His pecks could honestly rival that of even Kevin's. Not that he was vain, but it wasn't often that he heard about anybody's body matching that of Adonis himself. He grimaced. Nazz probably spread that rumor.

The raven haired teen was smiling about something and Kevin forced his focus back on Nazz, not wanting to be caught for staring. It was then he realized that Double D, the only Ed in the world who fussed about modesty and hygiene, was in fact SHIRTLESS. Kevin bit the inside of his cheek to keep the warmth from reaching his face. He momentarily wondered if Edd realized how... provocative he looked right now.

The only explanation to it was that hell had frozen over. Yeah, that had to be it.

"Oh not at all. I just arrived five minutes prior to your arrival. If you wish to use the room I would be happy to-"

"Nonsense. Let's use the room together. I was meaning to ask you for some help with a few moves on Monday anyways."

Eddward shrugged, seemingly unaware of Kevin's presence at all as he shoved his hands into the pockets of his pants. The pants nudged just a centimeter lower, a nudge Kevin noticed immediately.

"Oh well alright. Let's warm up shall we?" He smiled, turning back to the stereo system he had been meddling with when they had first arrived.

Something about Double D's posture was so... unlike Double D. Instead of clutching his hands to chest where his fingers would nervously fidget, his long arms hung at ease at his sides. His usual uptight manner was a million light years away it seemed, even as he openly cursed and stretched over the back of a speaker to retrieve a CD he had dropped. Double D NEVER cursed. Hell must have been a frozen tundra then.

Eddward lifted himself up a bit and bent over as far as he could to reach the fallen disk. His finger grazed the time as he lifted one foot partly off the ground to give him a little more length. He was completely unaware of the two pairs of eyes watching him. One pair watched on happily as Nazz waited patiently for Edd, and the other gazing appreciatively at his firm round bottom.

"Aha!" He snagged up cd just before losing his balance and quickly popped it into the stereo. "Do you have an musical preference?" Well at least his speech was the same.

Nazz shrugged. "Nah. What kind of music do you have? Nothing too fast I hope. I'm still working on technique. Instructor says I need to be extra prepared for the show if I want to get noticed by the talent agents."

Double D swung his arm above his and stretched the taught muscle of his bicep before doing the same with the other arm. His body arched forward just a tad as he did so, not surprising him when he felt a telltale pop in his spine. He groaned and rolled his shoulders. He stepped up beside Nazz facing giant mirrors that lined the wall in front of them. It took a second for the music to automatically turn on and Kevin recognized it as a popular pop song. This fascinated him. Double D only ever listened to that classical crap. He knew this because he had playfully taken Double D's iPod to tease him and found his playlist filled to the brim with Bach and Beethoven. Nazz was busy stretching out her own limbs, Kevin's interest now far replaced from her feminine physic and trained solely on the male walking anomaly. What was the definition of anomaly again?

"Well a few are slower but it's just a mix I procured some time the evening before." He dropped to the ground without much warning, hands catching his fall and lifting him into a set of pushups.

Nazz smiled as she watched her friend, settling herself to do some crunches. "Hey did you hear about Eddy?"

Eddward frowned. "Yes. I was there when it happened."

Mid-crunch Nazz stopped and laid back on the ground, her lips pouting as she looked over at the Ed. "Geeze I'm sorry to hear. I hope the principal went easy on him."

His soft boyish features made the pout on his face look a tad more adorable than Kevin wanted to admit.

"He was able to pull off a successful scheme regardless of the wages being made between us that he would fail. Unfortunately his cockiness was his downfall." Eddward began to do some running lunges, planting his hands firmly on the ground as he lifted one knee to his chest and then the other as quickly as he could, all the while maintaining his balance. "Hopefully he will listen to any and all future warnings I give him before he thinks pranking the campus security guard is a good idea."

The blond shook her head and slid her legs below her into a split. She rounded her back. "But I bet you guys had a lot of fun. I'm surprised you didn't get caught though. Only Eddy could be traced back to the crime. Did you tattle on him or something?"

Eddward's face snapped to her as he lifted himself up from the ground. "Of course not! Eddy is my friend. Though I am relieved to not have faced the same consequences as he, I cannot explain how I was not caught."

His bottom lip poked out innocently as he thought back on the day. There was plenty of evidence Eddy had left behind, damning evidence that directly linked all three of them to the scene of the crime. However because of Ed's naivety and football star status, minus the ladies of course, he had been let off the hook. But Edd had not been charged at all. In fact some details had been missing that had been a huge part of Eddy's scheme. He shrugged the thought away though and returned his focus back on his reflection in the mirror.

"Well no matter. What is done is done. I am to take Eddy out for dinner tonight though to make up for his solitary confinement in detention."

Nazz giggled. "Good ol' sweet Double D."

Double D's cheeks turned pink at the compliment. "Shall we?"

The song had started off slow but in no time at all flew into a rapid mix of beats. Eddward and Nazz preformed a warm up routine together, remaining a fair enough distance from each other as not to hit the other dancer. Kevin watched with fascination dancing in his green eyes. Eddward's coordination was incredible. Where the stumbling little nerd should have been now stood a completely new Double D. Every chance there was to lose his balance was gracefully caught as though he really never lost his balance to begin with. It was intriguing to watch as Edd's sweet facials features turned stern and focus. His eyes did not move themselves off the mirror in front of him, even when he did a quick spin here and jumped to a side there. Unlike his female counter part who was much more fluid with her movements, Double D's body jerked and locked, rolling into a smooth motion seamlessly. He made it look effortless and down-right easy.

Beads of perspiration dotted across his forehead and back, parts of his body now gleaming from the hearty work out. Kevin had to admit his baseball practices were just as demanding as say football or soccer, but dance was a whole other level of physical activity Kevin wouldn't dream of trying to achieve. He was healthy and fit but he was no miracle worker. And yet as he watched Double D slide across the polished dance floor he contemplated the difficulty of those moves. He just made it look so damn easy! Nazz was having a bit of trouble when it came to more of the core driven aspects of their routine and was out of breath half way through the song. She collapsed into a heap on the floor.

"I give up! I don't know how you do it Double D!"

The Ed grinned to himself but did not stop until the routine was finished. He was a stickler for finishing things he had started, hating the habit of leavings things half finished. Heart thumping excitedly, Double D leaned forward onto his knees to catch his breath. The red head had to give the teen credit. He could never pull off any of that.

Nazz's chest rose and fell as she forced her breathing to even out. She picked herself off the floor and rolled her head. "Gosh I'm rusty. Go two weeks without that and you pay for it."

"Nonsense. You were spectacular."

Nazz giggled like she always did. "Well I wouldn't say spectacular but I did my best." She turned to smile at her boyfriend. "Right babe?"

Suddenly green irises met bright blue. Warmth crept up the jock's neck but he refused to let the blush reach his cheeks. Eddward's eyes widened when he realized that someone else in the room had gone unnoticed. A blush did reach Edd's cheeks, his small hands jumping to the rim of his hat in a defensive gesture.

"K-Kevin?! Oh my I-I didn't realize you were...were here." He yanked the hat down over his eyes and the red head practically melted inside. How adorkable.

"Sup dweeb?" He smirked, leaning back against the wall.

Edd sheepishly peeked out from beneath the rim of his beanie and became very aware of his nakedness. He scurried over to his dance bag, which was set conveniently right underneath the spot Kevin was sitting. His lips twisted in a mental groan.

"Pardon me Kevin. Could you please move your leg?"

The red head raised a brow. "What are you up to?"

"Oh nothing. I just... my shirt. In bag." His blush was deepening and he rubbed his neck bashfully.

Kevin did not move his leg. "So?"

Double D bit the inside of his cheek. "I wish to retrieve my shirt."

"Why?" Kevin feigned naivety. He knew darn well that noticing the baseball player's presence turned Edd right back into his timid stuttering self and was now seeking to cover up. Kevin wasn't going to have any of that. He rather liked what he saw and wanted to see it in action some more.

Double D's brows furrowed.

"What's the matter double dork? Feeling naked?"

Perhaps teasing him wasn't such a good idea but he couldn't resist it as the raven haired teen lifted his arms across his chest and rested his arms on his biceps, as if to cover his nudity. If Edd wanted to be worried about something then his focus really should head further south, much where Kevin's eyes lingered just a little too long.

Eddward noticed Kevin's gaze lowering and he innocently followed before inwardly cursing. His pants were practically falling off! In a hurry Edd lifted his pants higher onto his hips and damn near strangled himself tying the knot of his sweats as tightly against his body as he could. By now the rest of his body was flushed pink in embarrassment. Nazz didn't seem to notice the little exchange and jogged over to Edd's side, her hand fall onto his shoulder. Kevin's stomach churned but he ignored the jealous feeling that rumbled in his gut as his girlfriend laid hands on the dork.

"Don't listen to Kevin. He's just teasing you. Come on let's dance!"

Without giving Edd a chance to argue she dragged him back to the middle of the floor. Another popular song started up and Nazz was immediately sucked right into it. Edd on the other hand stood there awkwardly, his eyes dancing between Nazz's and Kevin's reflection. His lips were twisted into a nervous frown. He couldn't dance with Kevin there! Nazz was one thing but his school bully?! He couldn't bring himself to bring one foot in front of the other and tumbled to the floor.

Nazz stopped to look at her partner. "Double D! Are you ok?"

Edd picked himself off the ground but did not get to his feet, opting to remain on his knees. "Oh yes um I uh tripped. Sorry."

Nazz propped her hands on her hips. "Don't be sorry. It happens." She held out her hand to Edd and helped him to his feet.

When he reached out to grab it another hand had gotten in the way. He was immediately yanked to his feet, the air whooshing from him as he stumbled back to catch his balance. In front of him stood nearly six feet of absolute male testosterone and fierce red hair. Kevin smirked.

"Be careful with yourself dork."

Double D's face lit up like the fourth of July. He could just faint right now and he'd welcome the sudden black out. His bully just watched him fall flat on his face just standing still. This day was just not turning out like he had planned at all.

Nazz smiled up at her boyfriend and planted a kiss on his cheek. Kevin pulled away and pushed back the need to wipe his cheek off. Double D was watching but quickly averted his gaze elsewhere as not to watch that little moment of intimacy. Kevin returned to his seat and purposely dropped his legs in front of Edd's dance bag. Just in case he had any second thoughts.

Kevin was such a sneaky bastard for a lack of better terms. He just had to go out of his way to make poor Doubld D more uncomfortable than he already was. No one but Nazz, his class, and instructor knew that the dork danced. He had methodically laid out his schedule accordingly so that none of the kids of the cul-de-sac would ever catch on. Oh but what a fool he had been. He had not taken into account that Nazz would tell her jock boyfriend. She was sweet and Edd couldn't bring himself to be outright mad at her. He doubted she knew much of Kevin's bullying tendencies other than the occasional open teasing and rather than let things get sticky he refused to mention any of it to her. He already had enough on his plate to worry about now that his bully knew he danced.

Edd rubbed his face and groaned.

Kevin licked his lips and briefly wondered what Double D was thinking. He shifted uncomfortably on the bench and decided that he had been sitting for too long. He stood and made his way to the far wall, leaning against the mirror so that he could get a better look at the dancers, Double D in particular. The switch from sitting to standing did little to ease Double D's nerves. If anything he was more nervous than before. At least when sitting all Kevin would be able to see would be bits of his reflection and mostly his back. But now his entire front was visible to the red head's scrutinizing gaze. He swallowed hard. Oh dear.

Nazz shuffled through the set of songs on the cd and landed on a fun little techno piece. She jogged back to her spot on the other side of Double D and Kevin was rather pleased to see that his new position would better able to see Double D without actually giving away that he wasn't paying any attention to Nazz. He noticed a twitch in one of Edd's fingers following the beat of the song.

"Think you could show me a few moves?"

At first Double D could have sworn he heard Kevin say it but it took him a full blown minute to realize it had been Nazz talking. He blinked back in her direction, hoping against hope that Kevin hadn't seen him tense like a scardey cat.

"Oh uh. Sure. What k-kind of moves?" He asked, mentally scolding himself for stuttering.

Kevin was just as curious.

"Well I'm having trouble with the fan kick. My hip just doesn't want to roll with it you know? Oh and I'm having trouble getting that back flip down."

Edd's jaw dropped. "Nazz! The instructor specifically warned you of the dangers of trying such an advanced-"

"Oh come on Double D. I have it choreographed into my routine for the big show and I need to get the mechanics of it so I can adjust it for floor work."

Kevin could barely follow the banter. Back flips? Since when did dancing incorporate back flips? And wouldn't they be done on the floor anyways?

Double D's face couldn't have been any redder. He gripped the edge of his beanie and yanked it over one eye, shaking his head.

"Must you?" His voice was strained. Oh no please Nazz let that one go. Please.

She pouted. "You are the best of both classes. I just need to find a simpler way to get it down. I have it all down in my head and I promise I'll be safe." She took the hand who's knuckled were white from holding onto the rim so tightly and peeled the fingers away. "Pretty please? I would be a huge favor to me."

Double D nibbled his lip and silently fumed. He couldn't say no to Nazz. Then again he could never say no. But with Kevin nearby...

He cleared his throat, rubbing his Adams apple as he did so. "Um, we would have to change rooms for that. Would Kevin be... you know..."

Nazz shrugged. "I don't know. What do you think babe? Wanna join us in the other room or camp out in here for a bit?"

To say Kevin was eager to see what had Double D so worked up about Nazz's request was an understatement. He shrugged nonchalantly. "Whatever." Yes. Oh hell yes.

"Ok then it's settled!"

Nazz led the way from their current setting to another room located in a totally different part of the dance hall. Kevin followed behind Edd whom he was sure was going to turn tail and run. The look on the poor teens face was priceless. His lip was quivering and the clutch he had on his dance bag could choke a horse. He could have sworn he heard a whimper when Nazz slid her dance card into the slot by the door. The red dot turned green on the panel the door dead bolt unlatched.

The room was just like the other room. Cream colored walls, polished wood floors and a row of mirrors lining one wall. The only difference, Kevin noted, were the two long metal poles standing situated towards the middle but spaced far apart. He raised a brow at Nazz who only winked back, sashaying up towards one of the poles. Her blond hair bounced against her neck as she spun back around and leaned against the pole, one hip cocked out as she cast him her sexiest smile. Then it dawned on him.

He snapped his head over to Double D whose face was officially hidden behind his beanie. Oh good lord no. He didn't. Edd wasn't... was he? Oh he just had to see this for himself. Kevin's eyes lit with mischief.

"Do you want the stationary or the spinny?" Naz asked, reaching for the hem of her shirt.

Kevin's eye twitched. "Babe, what are you doing?"

Nazz tossed her shirt aside and grinned. "Gotta strip down if we're going to do this."

The red head hummed in disapproval. "Don't tell me you're going to get naked on me."

The blond chuckled and patted her boyfriend's shoulder. "No silly. We just have to strip down to the bare minimum of clothing. The more skin exposure," She licked her lips and nibbled her lip, eyes dancing over her man. "-the better."

Kevin swallowed hard. His eyes ever so slowly drifted over to where Double D was still standing like an idiot with his hands on his hat. Nazz sighed and stalked over to yank his hands down. He had somehow snuck the shirt back on when Kevin hadn't been looking. She grabbed at the edge of Edd's shirt and yanked on it.

"N-NAZZ! What are you doing?!" Edd squawked.

"Undressing you since you can't seem to do it yourself."

Edd's hands came down on hers and pushed her away at once. "I-I can do it just fine on my own!"

Nazz lifted her ups and crossed her arms. "Ok we're waiting."

We're waiting. Ugh. Did he have to be reminded of Kevin's presence?

Shaking fingers edged to the hem of his shirt which was now partially soaked from the sweat. Thankfully he had brought extra shirts with him in case the weather decided to change later that day. He supposed since Kevin had seen him dance without a shirt previously that perhaps it wasn't all that bad. Nazz had seen him shirtless plenty of times and she was girl. Nudity among other men wasn't considered taboo after all. With a final tug Eddward swallowed his pride and yanked the shirt over his head, mindful of the beanie that began to slip from its spot.

Watching Double D undressing had to be the sexiest thing Kevin had ever seen. And he knew sexy. The subtle and innocent way the raven haired teen wiggled himself out of the t-shirt, back arching and unknowingly flexing the muscles of his abdomen was enough to make the red head's heart begin to race. As the shirt lifted up off his head, the beanie had begun to slip. Long feathery black hair fell from the confines of the hat and fanned the back of Double D's neck. Edd quickly snagged the hat before it could fall off and carefully peeled the shirt off with the rest of his dignity intact. Kevin didn't think he could get ever get enough of Eddward's exposure. He looked so masculine and yet so vulnerable.

"So what's it going to be? Static or spinny?"

Edd dropped his dance bag on the floor in the corner and tucked the shirt he neatly folded right beside it. "S-static should be sufficient."

Edd inhaled deeply and counted backwards from ten. He had to get a grip on himself. It was just a short lesson. Who cares if Kevin was watching? He was helping the guy's girlfriend. Surely he would let Double D off the hook this once for her sake. With a final encouraging nod to himself, Edd forced himself up and marched over to the static pole. He swallowed the bile that rose in the back of his throat as his eyes scaled the impending piece of fitness equipment. One Fan kick and one back flip. Shouldn't be so hard. Rudimentary was all it was.

With a final helping of some self-encouragement Edd faced down that pole and was about to take hold of it when Nazz's voice broke his concentration and he nearly toppled forward. He grabbed the pole for balance and inwardly whimpered. Oh how embarrassing.

"I'm sorry Nazz. I didn't quite hear you."

"I said what about your sweats. Aren't you going to have trouble sticking to the pole?"

Edd cleared his throat. "Oh no. Not for what we are about to do."

Kevin inwardly pouted. Damn. Luckily for Kevin Karma was on his side. Edd did reach down and lowered his sweats down by a whole inch, exposing the curve of his pelvis and hips. Oh sweet merciful-

"Ohh Double D you skank."

Nazz had absolutely no gauge for appropriateness, Double D decided.

"It- it's not what you think!" He spun around and nearly cringed to find Kevin's heated gaze staring him down. "No, no, no! You mistake my intentions! Oh dear. It's for the move I am to show Nazz. It requires little skin contact and the only spot to touch- oh gracious! That wasn't what I meant either." Eddward threw his arms into the air frantically. "Naz oh please explain before he-"

Ooh did he think Kevin suspected foul play? He snickered.

"I get it. Stop babbling and get on with it."

Nazz laughed. "Don't be silly. We know what you meant." She walked over to the second pole and knelt down to secure something at the bottom. She twisted her wrist to be sure the pole was locked onto its stationary setting and looked over to Edd. "I'm ready."

Edd whimpered but nodded. "O-ok. What you need to do for a fan kick is to allow your hips to relax. The motion should be fluid but you need to be in control."

She nodded and went on to talk about what he specific issue was. Kevin couldn't bring himself to pay much attention to the mechanics of it and leaned back against the wall. He rolled his eyes.

"Bored?" Nazz winked over Edd's shoulder.

He shrugged when the Edd didn't turn to face him. "Yup. How about we stop with the talking and get to the part where it matters?"

Nazz's face turned pink for the first time that day and she chuckled sweetly into her hand. "Kevin! You are such a dog. I could give you a private showing later if you'd like." She twirled her finger in a lock of golden hair as the words left her lips, a bit sultrier than Kevin admitted to liking.

He forced a smirked. "That's all fine and well babe. Wouldn't miss it for the world. But-" His eyes jumped to Edd's back and the sexy curve of his narrow shoulders. "I want to see what double dork here can do."

His shoulders immediately tensed and Kevin decided he enjoyed the sight. Edd turned his head to cast a questioning look at the athlete and was met with his trademark smirk. He wanted to see Edd do what?! Naz's brows shot to the top of her head. "You're kidding. I know you're great at a lot of things but if you challenge Double D, he's going to make you eat those words." She cocked her hip out and dropped a hand to it.

"Uh, Nazz I don't think-"

"Tch," Kevin raised his hands behind his head and leaned back against the far back wall. "I'll see it when I believe it."

The raven haired teen struggled within himself not to openly gawk. Was Kevin challenging Edd? Oh dear.

"Alright babe it's on." Nazz threw an excited fist in the air and pushed Eddward back towards his pole. "Make him eat those words Double D!"

Before he could trip again, years of experience kicked right in. Taking the shift in weight Double D threw his legs up until he was in a one handed hand-stand, his other arm wrapped securely around the pole. He held the position for a fraction of a second before gracefully lowering himself down all the way. Inwardly he chastised Nazz for her abruptness but before the words would reach his mouth she was back at her pole. He sighed. Impossible.

Without the aid of music Eddward was forced to silently improvise. His first set of moves were rather basic in approach. He scaled the pole with ease and waited at the top when he realized Nazz had decidedly chosen to take a free spin on her own. With one hand gripping hte pole, and the soul of his foot pressed flat against it, Edd was able to balance himself out so he could lean back and watch. He secretly envied her ability to be so smooth in all that she did. Her dance was practically flawless were it not for her insistence of such advanced moved that she was clearly not ready for. Her muscles were not ready for such strength complexity. The only reason Edd was able to achieve and master it so quickly was because of his male build which made all strength related moves a breeze. He gasped when Nazz's foot slipped and had it not been for her grip she would have certainly fallen and her head.

Edd loosened his grip and his body slid down the pole towards the ground. "Naz are you alright?"

The blond looked up through her fallen bangs and threw a thumb up. "I'm all good!"

He tsked but there was just no getting through to her. Double D swung his leg around and released his hold. With a single fluid twist his small body rolled down and around the poll, turning into a tumble when his shoulders touched down on the ground. He rolled back up onto his knees and absently stared in the direction he was facing. Which just so happened to be in Kevin's direction.

Kevin's mouth was hanging wide open. His eyes were wide as though his mind had been blown. The raven haired teen would have asked what was wrong had it not been for what Nazz had said previously. He blinked when a warm feeling bubbled up in his chest and it nearly jolted him out of his thoughts. Now Eddward was never one to be smug like any of the jocks that picked on him and his friends but darn it if it didn't feel good finally rubbing it in his bully's face!

Pride turned to cockiness as the dancer rocked himself back into the pole. His hand shot up to take hold of the metal as he lifted his lower body from the ground. His long skinny legs swung up and around until his legs hung right next to his arms, his bottom pressed firmly into the pole. Before dismounting he inhaled a deep and steady breath. Using his core to direct his legs up, he was once again in a sort of hand stand with his stomach flush against the pole. A simple twist of his hips gave him just the right amount of momentum to swing back down and clasp the pole between his thighs. Where skin would have caught against the steel and stopped him using friction, his sweat pants simply glided off the surface. This did not deter him though. Using only his upper body strength he kept himself help up two feet above the ground. His feet splayed flat as though standing on the ground and Kevin watched all while entranced.

Forget any misconceptions he had about the dork being frail and weak. This guy was far from it. His execution of core strength and flexibility had been a metaphorical dick slap to the face. Kevin's heart thumped in his chest as he watched with baited breath. Oh god is he going to fall? Is he going to make it?

For kicks Eddward imitated the motion of walking. His forearm and bicep flexed in the process. From below he head Nazz cheering him on and it was enough to make him get creative. Twisting his hips, he pulled himself up into an invert. Mindful that he was in sweats with barely any stick, he shifted to his right and allowed one leg to cartwheel him around. Like an aerial acrobatic he found his balance in his grip and allowed his momentum to carry him the rest of the way to the floor. But he wasn't finished yet. Somehow in his frenzied play Eddward had found his courage and started going all out.

Nazz and Kevin admired Double D's talent with a hum of appreciation. His flow was damn near flawless. His spins were breath taking and when the dork made it back to the top after several advanced climbs that dropped his sweats a tiny bit lower on his hips, he effortlessly pressed himself into an iron-x, both hands latched securely to pole while spreading out his legs straight into an X-shape. Below he could hear Nazz's cheering. Form his angle he couldn't see or hear Kevin and opted for a drop out in one of the most literal senses.

Nazz's scream tore through Kevin as they both watched Double D curl himself around the pole only to suddenly drop from the ceiling. His heart slammed in his ribcage and he and Nazz went running to Edd's side. They came to screeching halt to his shaking figure but what caught their eye the most was that he was not on the floor writhing in what they would assume would be pain from a broken limb. In fact he was inches above the floor boards, his stomach muscles and arm flexed tightly around the pole which broke his fall at just in the nick of time.

Kevin's hands started to shake from the rush of adrenalin. He thought-

"YOU IDIOT!"

Nazz broke into a full blow laugh, tears and all as Eddward tumbled the last few inches to the ground. His laughter emanated from beneath the feathery black hair that stuck to his sweaty forehead. Kevin's face turned red.

"You scared the hell out of me! You really think that was funny?!"

Nazz snorted. "Oh it was hilarious. You should have seen your face!"

The athlete threw his arms into the air. Were they insane or something? He could have gotten hurt. Double D could have-

Kevin's one track mind halted at once as those lovely blue eyes of Eddwards met with his furious green ones. He quickly sobered up and leaned back against the pole to catch his breath. His fingers lifted up to his chest as he concentrated hard on them, finding sudden interest in them.

"M-my apologies Kevin. I was merely displaying my proud capacity of abilities. I hadn't meant to cause you such a fright."

Kevin's anger disintegrated in seconds. He pinched the bridge of his nose and made a frustrated growl, making Edd twitch nervously.

"Don't ever fucking do that again." Because I swear if I ever see you falling from the sky like that my heart will explode.
