Prologue

It was a hot summer day and Eddy was trying to salvage his latest already failing scheme. "How do you ever expect to make any money if you're always giving up!" Eddy yelled at double D as he tried to hide under his hat.

"I told you from the very beginning that this was an awful idea Eddy! I never agreed to be a part of your plan." Edd muttered.

"What are you talking about!" Eddy screamed back, "You're the one that wrote up the blueprints and everything!" "Only because you forced me to!" he retorted.

Eddy picked up one of the water balloons from the bucket next to him and a grin spread across his face, "That's it sock head!" Eddy threw the huge balloon straight for Double D's head, but he quickly ducked not knowing that Kevin and Nazz were walking up behind him.

The water balloon spun over Edd's head and he turned to watch it fly in slow motion right towards Kevin's face. The balloon exploded with a pop, soaking Kevin's hat and most of his shirt. Nazz tried to hold in a giggle as everyone stared in silence. Edd couldn't help but notice Kevin's bulging muscles and had to snap his eyes shut when they landed on his hardened nipples. He covered his face in fear and Eddy let out a quiet "sorry".

"I'll kill you Eddy!" Kevin shrieked as he took off running after Eddy, Ed barreling close behind them. Edd stayed behind, his eyes once again covered by his hat. 'Why am I feeling this way?' He thought to himself. "Are you okay Double D?" Nazz asked with a sweet smile. Edd finally stood up straight "Yes, I'm quite alright Nazz. Thank you for your concern." He blushed.

The two boys could be heard shouting in the distance as Edd just rolled his eyes. "When will he ever learn?" Edd thought aloud. Nazz laughed as Rolf and the others joined them.

Later that evening Kevin was sitting in his front yard working on his bike when Edd walked up to him sheepishly.

"What do you want now Double Dweeb?" Kevin asked without looking up from his work. "Well, I just wanted to… apologize for Eddy's… bad choices." Edd explained, looking at the ground shyly. There was a moment of silence and Edd could feel Kevin's eyes studying his face. He couldn't bring himself to look up but he turned away when he felt himself blushing.

"Whatever." Kevin responded as he looked down to find another tool. Double D sighed and turned to walk back to his house but stopped when he heard Kevin's voice. "You don't need to apologize for that dork, it wasn't your fault." Edd smiled and turned around.

"I'm glad you feel that way Kevin." He said with a blush. "Yeah, well, goodnight I guess." Kevin mumbled as he picked up his bike to carry it back to the garage.

Edd's blush spread across his cheeks as he watched Kevin's muscles flex. 'Oh dear' he thought as he began to feel the same way he had earlier that day after seeing Kevin's chest through the wet shirt. As the image resurfaced in his mind his face turned beat red and he spun around, running towards his house.

"Goodnight Kevin!" he yelled over his shoulder, afraid to look back. Kevin shook his head as he watched Edd's front door slam behind him. 'What a strange kid.' He smiled to himself.
