Author's note: I do not own Ed, Edd and Eddy. Only my own plot. This is my first fan fiction. please be nice. PLEASE REVIEW.
As i looked in the mirror telling myself it's a whole new year which meant a new start for me at Peach Creek High. I wasn't sure it was true but i kept telling myself.
With the help of Marie i came out of the closet but more importantly i became comfortable with that truth of who i was.
You may know me as Double D or Edd…. or one of the Ed's of the cul-de-sac. But this year i was my own person… again something i kept telling myself.
I hadn't seen much of Ed or Eddy over the summer. Eddy's brother had been back in town so he was being followed by his brother like a puppy as usual… and Ed… well Ed was just off in his own little world. Which wasn't a bad thing .. as long as he kept Sarah happy.
Thinking of the guys made me worry my lip a bit between my teeth. Once i caught myself i took a deep breath and started what had become my daily routine of ablutions. Upon exiting the bathroom i gave the attire i had laid out on my bed a scrutinizing look before readying myself for the day.
To say i was nervous to have the real me walk out the front door of my house and to school was saying the very least. I wasn't sure how people would react and i wasn't sure how i wanted them to.
I checked myself over in the foyer looking glass once more before steeling myself with a deep breath. "Here goes."
….
Kevin had been gone all summer so he wasn't sure what the dingle dorks had been up to… and he didn't much care, for the most part.
With his hat pulled low he was checking over his bike making sure he didn't have to ditch it at home and ride the bus or something on the first day of school. Since his old man hadn't been home all summer he had been shipped off to a camp to keep him occupied and "out of trouble".
'Pfft… as if some camp would help me by now.'
Kevin sighed and moved his bike slowly out of the garage before closing and securing the door. He did a cursory glance around before straddling his ride and barreling off to school.
…
'Maybe i should have worn my hat' Edd mused as he made his way up to the school, one hand sliding up to touch his hair self consciously. His eyes scanned the multitude of students looking for a familiar face before seeing Marie smiling at him proudly.
"You finally did it Edd. How do you feel? You look amazing by the way." Marie gushed as we got closer to the school and fell into step. Hearing her compliment made me blush. "Thanks Marie… you don't think it's too much for the first day of school?" I gestured at myself and nervously tugged and twirled a tendril of hair as i had become accustomed to doing without my hat on.
"You look knock out awesome. Come on we don't wanna be late" she grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the auditorium for the beginning of term assembly.
…..
Kevin parked and as he walked to the school doors he saw the Blue haired Kanker sister dragging an attractive willowy figure in high heels after her. Kevin shook his head knowing that anyone associated with the Kankers are usually a bit odd… or stuck. With that thought he wondered if that Brunette..(Ravenette?) with Marie was just stuck.
He trudged into the school and followed the crowd.
…
"Marie you're going to hyperextend my arm if you continue at this pace" i gasped as my balance was off kilter due to her insistent tugging. "I haven't discovered how to run in heels yet you know that… at least they aren't a more slender heel" even to myself i was whining but i was self conscious and worried about being awkward.
"Well you want to have a seat this year don't you? You remember how much the principal drones on and on at these things." Marie chided as she triumphantly finds two seats relatively close to the door.
…
Kevin files in and gets stuck standing due to the influx of the student body's numbers this year. He caught sight of Marie Kanker again and saw her head close to the dark haired figure next to her. He couldn't make out any features from where he stood but he saw the gorgeous black hair in soft curls (they looked natural but with girls you could never tell) and the narrow shoulders and thin build. It nagged at him why he should care but the person fascinated him… which was rare anymore. Throughout the rest of the assembly he watched Marie and the mystery person whisper to each other. When the speeches were finished he was pushed out of the doors quickly by the mob of bodies that flowed out into the school's hallways heading to all the regular home room classes.
Edd stood when the way was cleared and readjusted his top and his skinny jeans so that he wasn't wrinkled. He made his way to his home room class and slipped into a desk hoping to go relatively unnoticed till the attendance was read. Honestly the light tunic top (if a bit on the gothic/grunge style with its "shredded" sides and it's scooped neckline) was comfortable and felt better than any button down and sweater vest combination he had ever worn. The skinny jeans had taken some getting used to but to be fair not ironing his clothes did take time out of his routine… they were slightly faded black and gray with black rhinestones on the pockets to draw attention to his derriere (he was appalled when he saw this but was assured by Marie that it was perfectly fine and very attractive). He wore high heeled boots to finish out the ensemble. There was a ball of nervous energy in the pit of his stomach as he reminded himself not to look around and draw any unwanted attention. Since no one actually knew how long his hair was when he had worn his hat he wasn't surprised when no one recognized him. Maybe this year would work… maybe just maybe this him, the REAL, him could finally be free.
…..
Kevin took his usual seat in any class he had at the back of the room and his attention was instantly drawn to the willowy figure as they slipped into a desk near the front. Who was it? Why did they have his attention? And why for god sake did they have to be so hot?
He shifted uncomfortably in his seat as his thoughts were less than platonic towards the person he hadn't even seen the face of or spoken to. He just answered when his name was called and tried to drown out the rest of the class and gather his thoughts… but when he heard a name called and that willowy figure spoke up and answered "present" his eyes widened and he felt as if he'd been hit by lightning. Double Dweeb? Seriously? He'd been perving all morning over one of the dingle dorks? Wait… what was he doing dressed like that? Where were the slacks and the sweaters… and where for the love of god was his hat?!
He scribbled a quick note and shot out the door as soon as the bell rang. He had listened to the locker assignments and slipped the note into the correct one before running to his next class.
…..
Edd walked to his locker to deposit his home room book and found a note inside with his name scrawled unceremoniously across the front. Looking to either side of himself he set his book aside and opened the note:
DD.
Dude… where have you been hiding yourself? Your hair? WHERE IS YOUR HAT?
Man i can't keep my eyes off of you… what changed? How? When? WHY? …. I liked the dork you were and i'd like to get to know the person you are… but i don't know if you'd give me the time of day if i asked…
The note wasn't signed and that confused Edd even more than the contents. Who could it be?
….
Each period till lunch Kevin was a wreck his palms were sweaty and he didn't know what was going on in his brain. It wasn't the fact of the attraction or even to whom it was directed (to whom?... what the hell he even was starting to think like HE talked now). Kevin knew he liked Double D long ago… that's why when he would pulverize the Ed's he was softer on him.
That gapped tooth smile and that tittering laugh of his as well as his small high pitched voice as he directed the lumpy headed one to do the grunt work.
All this thinking of him made him grimace and shift in his seat but not out of disgust or anger but out of pure lust. He would try every trick known to date that could stop this need.. All to no avail. Luckily his sweatshirt was long and his pants baggy.
….
Edd was doing alright in his classes so far today. He had a few questioning looks as he would speak up at attendance but nothing untoward really. It actually made him chuckle a bit since he knew it was quite a change from his usual demeanor and attire. All in all a good first half of the day. 'Now onto lunch' he mused as he placed his latest book in his locker to join the others. His eyes searched for Marie as he walked into the cafeteria hoping he could share with her the events so far… but he wasn't sure if he should tell her about the note.
…
Kevin saw him walk into the cafeteria and wondered if he had anyone to sit with… oh right that kanker sister. He chewed his lip as he debated whisking him away to somewhere else to talk…
But just then he saw one of the guys from the football team zeroing in on the dork and he knew then that he had to move.
…..
Edd walked across the room and just before he could react he was grabbed by a jock. "Geez Dork what you some sort of fag or something? Dressing like a girl?" Even though it was only 11:30 this brute smelled of alcohol. He was laughing as his grip tightened on Edd's arm.
"And my orientation would concern you how? Wanna be my boyfriend or something?" Edd quipped back at the jock without thinking. That got a round of laughter from the rest of the team as the jocks face twisted in disgust and a bit of fear. "You are sick" he spat before shoving Edd away from him. His other hand pulling back in a fist.
Edd winced waiting for the blow to land but it never did. He opened his eyes to see none other than Kevin standing in the way of the bully and himself. "Leave the Dweeb alone" Kevin hissed at his teammate. Just then Ed and Eddy walked in and rushed over wondering what was going on.
Kevin whirled on them and sneered "can't you even keep him safe?" before he wrapped an arm around Edd and walked him out of the cafeteria.
….
Kevin heard the whispers and the jeers and the other dweebs stammer and question him as he steered Double D out the door. He was firm but careful not to hold tight as he made his way to the boys room with his companion. "Are you alright?" Kevin inquired. "Marty didn't hurt you did he?" as he asked he reached for Edd's arm and found bruises already forming. He frowned and his brilliant green eyes sparkled dangerously.
"N-no Kevin i'm fine really, it's nothing as bad as i'm used to and a lot less than i was expecting for today" Edd babbled as he tried to cover the bruises with his shirt sleeve which only succeeded in uncovering his shoulder.
"He had no right or reason to touch you like that you should report him … or i'll beat him to a pulp" Kevin growled. The look of pure terror that washed over Edd's face was the only thing that gave him pause. "You really don't think this was much of anything to get upset over do you?" he asked still seething inside.
"N-no i don't… i've had worse." from you. Edd stammered and thought all at once. He rubbed his hand over the bruises left by the ham handed jock and bit his lip forgetting about his lipstick. "Why did you save me? Why bother helping me after all this time and all of the history?" Edd asked his voice shaking as his eyes glistened and pierced right to Kevin's heart.
Kevin blushed softly taking his hat off to shove his fingers through his hair. "I couldn't stand to see you be hurt. Not for being yourself. Not for finally doin-Being something you want to be. That's a strong thing to do and you don't deserve any flack for it from anyone." Kevin hid his face as he confessed his thoughts. "I won't let anyone mess with you Dweeb… not for anything." he turned and walked a few feet. "Think you can stay out of trouble till the end of the day? I'll take you home. Be by my bike at 3:00" before Edd had a chance to answer Kevin was gone around the corner.
…
Edd barely had time to process what had just happened before Ed and Eddy burst into the hallway from the Cafeteria.
"Hey Double D what just happened? And what the hell is with your clothes? IS THAT MAKE-UP?" the shorter one rapidly fired questions at him as they approached.
"You look different Doubble-d" Ed spoke before squishing Edd into one of his smelly and rib bruising hugs. "I like it though… but where is your hat?" he asked as Edd pulled back smiling sheepishly.
"I gave it up. Seems i was just using it to hide."
"You still haven't answered any of my questions Dude" Eddy quipped. "Come on man what is with the get up and all the hubbub in the cafeteria?"
"Oh well Marty took a liking to how i look ,or offense,… i'm not too sure but he approached me with aggression and just before you came along Kevin rescued me" Edd replied still not sure how to explain his attire and his use of beauty products.
"Then what's with the clothes and the make up dude?" Eddy asked persistently.
" because this is ME!" Edd said back looking a bit aggravated. "This is the real me. I feel real and right and i don't have any regrets with the change." the words flowed from his lips as he waved his hands to emphasize his meaning. "Do you see anything wrong with it or have a problem too?" he got close to Eddy and leaned down into his face only inches away breathing hard.
"Only that you have faded lipstick and it's on your teeth. Besides that you look awesome." Eddy replied with his usual goofy smile and snide attitude. "But what was with shovel chin blaming us for you getting attacked? It's not like we knew where you were or what you looked like today."
Edd sighed with relief at their acceptance. "I don't know. When i inquired the same all i got in reply was that he didn't want me to be attacked for being myself or something to that effect."
"Maybe you could help Sarah with her makeup Double D… She looks like she put it on with a chicken's foot" Ed piped in happily before squeezing his friends once again in a hug.
….
The rest of the day went by without any more problems and when 3 rolled around Kevin was headed to his bike. The willowy figure with raven hair was waiting for him looking nervous.
"Um Kevin i could just ride the bus. Motorcycle rides are notoriously dangerous. And i've never ridden before."
Kevin held up a hand. "Hush up and get on the bike Dork…. I can't keep you safe if i'm not with you and i don't have a car so this will have to do" he patted his bike softly before holding out his helmet for Edd.
"Just hold my waist and lean with me."
Edd gingerly took the helmet and fastened it to his head still apprehensive to join Kevin astride the death trap on two wheels.
Kevin reached out a hand to help the nerd and said "Don't you trust me?"
Edd didn't reply but took the aid offered only to firmly encase the athlete's torso with his arms.
As the engine roared to life he felt his body tremble more than the bike itself.
Kevin patted Edd's hands and said "it'll be alright we'll be home in no time"
The wind buffeted them as they zoomed along. Edd squeezing tight to Kevin, squealing at every turn. Kevin had been right though not long after leaving the school parking lot they were indeed back in their own cul-de-sac. Kevin pulled into his own driveway before turning off the engine and putting down the kickstand. "Double D, you can let go we are safe and sound." Kevin smiled a bit to himself at having to reassure the thin wisp of a man tightly wrapped around him.
Edd slowly loosened his hold and unmounted the bike still trembling a bit but no worse for wear.
"I'd like to thank you Kevin for the aid you provided me today in the cafeteria as well as the ride home. If ever you have need of scholarly assistance, do not hesitate to ask. I shall be more than willing to help." he was a bit breathless and still wearing the helmet. Kevin couldn't help but think to himself that the nerd looked adorable all flustered and the helmet was cute even though it clashed with the outfit of the boy. "I'll keep that in mind." Kevin replied and even to his ears it sounded a bit more intimate than he had intended. He rubbed the back of his neck and smirked. "You going to keep the helmet? I mean i do have a spare." he chuckled as Double D gasped and unfastened the helmet quickly.
"Here is your safety gear back kind sir." Edd held out the helmet with a look of chagrin. "You did indeed get me returned to our neighborhood safe and relatively sound. But i do believe i should be going home." Kevin took the helmet and his fingertips brushed Edd's. "I leave at 7:30 so be ready and i'll bring you to school."
"Oh that won't be necessary Kevin i can take the public transportation provided by the school… or i'll just walk" Edd replied emphatically.
Kevin scowled. "I already told you how can i keep you safe if you don't let me? I'll bring you to school." he said firmly.
Edd relented and gave him a smile. "Alright Kevin. I'll be ready." as he made his way across the street to his own dwelling his heart raced. Kevin Barr was being nice… well as nice as he could be given his temperament. Edd nearly giggled at the idea. Kevin was trying to be his friend.
…..
That night Kevin's dreams were invaded by the scent of honey and milk and a soft sweet musky smell that he couldn't place. Glimpses of a gapped tooth smile and raven hair.
He awoke covered in sweat his body aflame with desire. His shorts were soiled with the evidence of his body's lust. What the hell was wrong with him? He didn't think of guys like that, did he? Or was it just the one? Just the thought of that voice talking so smart and polite made him blush. The idea of them cuddled up together doing homework warmed his chest. The thought of a kiss made his lips burn. He looked at his clock and groaned.. He still had hours til his alarm. Knowing he wouldn't be able to sleep he hopped into a shower. The cold spray pelting him, washing away the heat of his dreams.
….
Knowing now that Kevin noticed him and liked his new visage made him nervous. Edd wracked his brain wondering what he should wear. He tore through his closet searching for the right apparel. Remembering what Eddy said yesterday he made sure to bring his lipcolor with him today. Today's look was similar to yesterday's only the color of the shirt was different really. Well that and the design of the rhinestones on his pockets. Marie had made him model each outfit and combination he owned during the summer till they discovered what was best. It had been an excruciating experience at the time but now he was well and truly thankful. Using an expert hand he applied subtle color to his eyelids as well as liner and mascara. His lip color was an amazing color that drew attention to his full lips. Most days he could do without foundation or bronzer or blush. Marie always lamented about how lovely his porcelain skin was and how lucky he was that he didn't need help with cover up. When he first started to dress this way his hair was still under cover of his beanie. After wrestling with the Kanker sisters and having his hair free flowing he had been sworn off of the use of his hat. At first it was pure torture but as time went on he grew to enjoy the freedom. His hair curled and was rarely messy as it had been inside the hat. The silky tresses bounced and moved smoothly. He had refused to get bangs no matter how much Marie begged. He knew his face shape and knew the bangs would give him the appearance of hiding under them. Having awoke at 4:30 he had ample time to prepare for his day and it made him agonize over every detail. Once 7:30 rolled around and he exited his home to head to school with Kevin it was all worth it seeing the other boy go wide eyed. He had to admit even if only to himself that it felt good to see the look of approval at how he looked.
…
Kevin's eyes nearly popped out of his head seeing the lithe figure slink toward him in those high heeled boots and figure hugging jeans. He could see the bruises on the arm peaking from the sleeve of the top. He was cottonmouth seeing those colored lips smile in greeting. Not knowing what to say he just held out his spare helmet and started the bike up. Once again those thin arms encircled his body and they were off down the road. He caught a whiff of the scents that ensnared his dreams causing his body to react. He only hoped the slender hands across his chest and stomach didn't fall and brush up against the evidence of his desire. What was going on with him? He couldn't wrap his head around it. He never had this reaction before. Not even to Nazz when they dated. No one had ever gotten under his skin or into his brain like this scrawny nerd did.
…..
Edd clung to Kevin as the bike rumbled and streaked down the road. His hands plastered to the chiseled chest and stomach in front of him. His fingers pressed into the muscles feeling them move as the man they belonged to maneuvered the monstrous machine they sat astride. His mind awhirl with wonder at the feeling of such power and masculinity. Before he could catch himself he was thinking of those muscles working to touch him and maneuver his body instead. The sheer audacity of his thoughts made him blush. As if it were possible. The gentleman used to bully him for goodness sake. How would that translate or lead to attraction let alone physical intimacy? The ideas ran through his brain like it were the Cern Super collider. Could Kevin like him? He knew it was hopeless to dream such things and each thought provoked questions and desires he hadn't been aware of. His skinny jeans true to their name were quite snug and he knew the pressure added by his mind's spiralling out of control would make it unbearable. He scooted back slightly lesst his body betray him to the figure ahead of him.
….
Both boys being lost in their thoughts as they pulled in didn't notice the looks or stares. The rumble of the bikes engine covered the whispers. Not everyone had seen Edd the day before so some thought Kevin had a new hot girlfriend. Unbeknownst to either of them they were being paired up in the eyes of everyone watching. Kevin was finally finding himself calmed as he pulled into a parking spot. He felt almost mournful at the need to make the dweeb let go so they could go inside. He patted Edd's hands to signify it was time. Edd pulled back and he too had calmed himself enough to move. He handed over the helmet and shook out his hair before smiling thanking Kevin politely and starting toward the building. Kevin panicked at the thought of the other boy leaving him behind even just to go to class by himself. He grabbed his hand. "I'm supposed to stay close remember?" he said before dropping Edd's hand and falling into step.
Edd blushed and nodded. "You are really taking this seriously aren't you? It's alright you know. I'm sure i can find sanctuary with others."
"Like who the dingle dorks you used to run with always scheming and running into disaster? No i'll keep you safe just like i promised yesterday." Kevin shot back.
….
Nazz and Marie had witnessed the whole exchange and seen them the day before at lunch. "They don't even know how to go about it do they?" Nazz asked Marie with a sad smile. "They don't even know what IT is." Marie answered. Nazz was sure they were meant to be. It was instantaneous and there was a spark between them she had never felt when they had tried to date way back when. Maybe if she could help. "Hmmm… Marie do you think we should help them? I mean i know they will get there eventually but wouldn't it be easier to help them now so they don't miss their chance?" Marie contemplated what Nazz was saying and knew she was right. Both boys were stubborn and wouldn't speak up or let on what they were feeling. And both were too blind to see it on each other's faces. "You're right Nazz. but how?" the girls put their heads together and walked towards their class.
…..
Edds phone buzzed in his pocket. He opened up the screen and saw at text that simply said:
He's a sucker for poetry.
He looked around and searched the class for any faces that might give away the sender.
He who?
He replied quickly.
Your knight on a revving engine.
Was his only received response. He blushed and put his phone away.
He sat there thinking to himself the rest of the day wondering what the texts were leading to. Creative writing was not his forte so he was not sure even his best try would be enough if he was so inclined to wax poetically at the redheaded adonis that had been his near constant companion outside of class.
….
Kevin also was surprised by a message on his cell from an unknown number. When he was able to steal a glance he found that it was about Double D.
He is self conscious about his hair.
Kevin's eyebrows shot up.
Why?! For god's sake half the girls in school are jealous because his hair is GORGEOUS!
Another text came but it wasn't a reply.
His parents haven't been home for longer than a week at a time in years. He's always lonely.
Kevin felt a pang in his chest at that last message. He knew how it was to always be alone and without parental guidance. His mother had disappeared years ago and his dad never coped well since. Kevin did sports so he would never notice the quiet in the house. You don't care if you're alone when you are too exhausted.
….
That day after school as they two climbed off of the motorcycle to part ways for the evening Kevin rubbed the back of his neck and decided to say something.
"Hey, uh… Double Dee, would you want to come over and watch a movie or something? Maybe order pizza?"
"Why certainly Kevin. I appreciate the invitation." Edd smiled brightly and looked positively radiant with happiness at the idea of not being alone for a few more hours.
Kevin's chest warmed and he smiled back. "You can pick the toppings. Just light on the sauce please?" He closed the garage and they made their way into the house.
Upon crossing the threshold of the house's entrance Edd became shy and started worrying his lip between his teeth and wringing his hands.
"Don't worry about my old man getting mad at the company. He is almost never here. And my mom left years ago." the last part was said softly with a wistful look crossing the other boys face. "So what kind of movie shall we watch? We have just about any that comes to mind besides silent films and foreign ones with subtitles though i'm sure i could run to the library and get a few if that's what you are into." Kevin caught himself babbling. What was it about this person that makes me lose my cool? Kevin was turned into knots of nervous energy and word vomit every time he tried to just act cool.
….
Edd noticed the change in Kevin and smiled a bit wondering if it was just another side of him or if he was the cause for the change. Wait, do i want to be the cause for this difference in him? Is it a joke that will just take time before the harsh end comes crashing down? Or was this real?
"I'll watch whatever you like Kevin. These days i only watch movies that Ed brings over when he and Eddy barge into the house. So it's a lot of aliens zombies and such nonsense."
"Shall i remove my footwear? Not everyone has the same rules concerning floor care." he asked softly as he hadn't moved from the doorway.
Kevin replied " Be comfortable. If removing your boots is easier on your mind then do it. I don't mind. I'm sure your feet need the relief after a long day." Kevin knelt at the movie shelf perusing the titles searching for just the right thing to watch with his … date?... Friend?... company. Something not too mushy but could be cuddle worthy, nothing too scary, not too much action as to become boring.
As Kevin searched for a movie Edd called for a pizza and remembered the request for light sauce as he ordered. He chose one with everything on it since he didn't know Kevin's preferences,.anything unwanted could be picked off. Once the order was placed he slipped out of his boots, Kevin had been right about his feet needing a break from them. He breathed a sigh of relief as he flexed each foot and wiggled his toes.
Kevin had chosen a movie and turned to ask if it was appropriate in time to see the pleasure and relief cross Edd's face as his feet relaxed. Kevin felt a pang of jealousy wishing the look and sound from him had been his own doing not the boots removal.
The boys set up the movie and got situated for their evening on Kevin's couch. Edd cuddled a throw pillow and Kevin lounged at the armrest of the other end. Edd had never seen the movie Kevin had chosen and it was the latest installment of a series of movies all of which Edd had only heard of so they two of them decided on having a marathon. Edd had been apprehensive at first knowing his time would be better used by studying but he didn't want to leave and go home to his own empty abode. Why be alone when they could stay together?
The boys chatted and talked about school and their classes. Kevin discovered that Double D studied really hard to do as well as he has. Double D learned that because of his parents not being around to aide him in his studies Kevin had a disadvantage.
"Edd, why do you work so hard at school? Is it to impress your parents or something?" Kevin blurted it out but did want an answer.
"It's what is expected of me, dear Kevin. No less than exceptional is good enough." Edd replied as if by rote. A look of displeasure crossed his face as the memories of his parents drilling it into him repeatedly flooded back. "They want me to be a brilliant surgeon like them. To be an elite caliber entity unto myself."
"Geez man they really have that much pressure on you? That's messed up. Even my dad doesn't have that much pressure on me about my future…. So long as i don't end up a jobless homeless idiot." Kevin ran his fingers through his hair and shook his head. "Heck my pops only wants me to be happy. He doesn't care much past that."
"Well i have no need to work hard since i've surpassed the school's curriculum years ago… i could and would be honored to help you if you'd like?" Edd offered half hopeful the ginger would agree.
"Only if you really want to." he added just to alleviate any pressure he may have put upon him.
Kevin had a look of surprise on his face as he contemplated the offer. "I do need the help Double D. There's no one else i think would even help me." he looked at the raven locked wonder and asked "would you?"
"Of course Kevin" Edd smiled.
…
Before either boy had realized it they'd fallen asleep on Kevin's couch leaving the last movie they'd put in to cycle on the menu screen. Edd was snuggled to Kevin's chest, the ginger's hands holding the other boy's shoulders and waist. Both sleeping the most deep and calm sleep they'd either had in quite a long time. The morning light crept through the window sliding across the room softly illuminating them. Kevin's cell phone rang with the morning alarm he had set for school days. Always a 2 hours earlier than he left so he could work out or fix up his bike if need be. Deep blue eyes snapped open and met rich green. Edd quit breathing as he realized he was pressed rather intimately to Kevin's body and it was morning. Kevin went dry mouth and stared at the disheveled beauty he held to his chest. No man or woman should look so wonderful. Eye shadow, liner and mascara barely smudged around such striking eyes. Lips full and plump with a hint of that luscious color he wore on them. Without thinking he leaned in and brushed his own lips to them. Wondering if they tasted as heavenly as they looked. The willowy figure in his arms gave a soft sound of surprise and welcome. Strong hands held tight and thin elegant ones gripped and twisted into the other's shirt. The soft kiss deepened and tongues danced. The alarm blared again causing them each to pull back.
"Oh my, is it really that time?" Edd scrambled off the couch. " I need to get ready for school… and i haven't even been home, notthatitmatters-nooneisthereanyway. Um i shall see you at 7:30? When we make our way to the school?" He didn't even wait for an answer before grabbing his boots and hastily making his way out the door and across the street to his own home.
