Edd awoke to the blaring screech of his alarm. With a grunt he lazily got out of bed, grabbing his hat and clothes for the day. As he slowly made his way to the bathroom he saw a single post-it note from his mom. It read;
"My dear Eddward,
Your school is closed for the day due to a horrid snow storm. Father and I will be at the office all day, please shovel the walkway.
Love,
Your Mother."
Edd let out a disappointed sigh, he enjoyed the comfort that school brings and most importantly seeing Kevin in between classes. Kevin, Edd thought dreamily, His beautiful green eyes, bright orange hair, and most importantly, that perfect smile of his. He figured that Kevin would be shoveling today,and he might be able to sneak a few quick glances at him. Edd rushed to finish his morning routine, and as he was making his way down the steps, he heard the door bell.(Edd knew it was just Ed and Eddy he walks over to the door.) When he opened the door he was greeted by a large hug that engulfed his whole body. When Ed finally put him down Eddy had already walked past and was in the kitchen.
"Salutations Ed, Eddy," Edd said as he gave Eddy a perplexed look.
Eddy exclaimed over dramatically , "What do you got to eat, sockhead? I'm STARVING!"
"Well Eddy, there is a carton of eggs in the fridge, but can you manage to not completely destroy my kitchen in the process of making breakfast?" Edd said.
Eddy replied with a sarcastic tone, "Why would I do such a thing."
As Eddy pulled out the eggs, three came tumbling to the floor and all Edd could do is think, "messy, messy, messy always messy," while he was retrieving the mop and bucket. After breakfast and Edd diligently cleaning the mess that Ed and Eddy made, all three boys decided to go and shovel out the thick, white snow that was coating the cul-de-sac. In this moment in time Edd had completely forgotten about Kevin, too wrapped up in finishing his task. Edd was out of breath when he looked up, he saw Kevin walk toward him. Instead of freaking out, Edd just stared with amazement at how gorgeous he looked. His face was flushed from the cold, he was sporting a beanie, instead of his traditional backwards ball cap. He had on his baseball Letterman jacket, and a pair of faded jeans that hugged his legs in the best way. In Edd's eyes, he looked like a snow god. Kevin had finally reached Edd and was giving him a weird look.
"What are you staring at Double-Dweeb?" Kevin growled.
Edd studdered " Wha-a-at are you talking a-a-about Kev-i-i-n?"
Kevin smirked to himself because of Edd's nervousness, Edd was thankful it was cold out because it was able to hide his blush.
"I just came over to see if you needed help. Your dork friends over there seemed to leave you with all the hard work." Kevin pointed over to Ed and Eddy who were busy knocking on doors trying to get money for shoveling walkways.
"Thank you anyway Kevin, I actually just finished as you approached me. Ca-a-n I offer you any ho-o-o-t chocolate?" Edd managed to choke out before a dark read blush came across his face. Kevin had that same smirk as before, and said, "Nah dork, Nazz is over there waiting for me. Maybe another time when your not apart of the other dorks scams."
Edd then smiled while trying to cover up his gap and said, "Thank you again for offering to help. That was very chivalrous of you, and I shall take you up on that offer for another time!"
As Kevin walked away he said, "Whatever dork."
When Kevin was out of sight, Edd went back in his house, only after telling Ed and Eddy that he had to finish house work, making sure not to leave tracks of snow behind. He then made his way up to his room and discarded his wet, cold clothes, and changed into a pair of sweats and a Tee shirt. He crawled into bed, and instantly fell asleep dreaming of Kevin. He awoke to loud knocking on his front door. Edd was utterly confused and looked over to the clock to see it was only two, he was only asleep for a half hour. He ran down the steps and opened the door figuring it was Ed and Eddy. To his surprise, it turned out Kevin and Nazz.
"Excuse me, but what are you two doing here?" Edd said in a confused manner.
Nazz replied with, "Kevin said you were making some hot chocloate and I totally wanted some. I hope we aren't bothing you."
"Oh! Not at all. You are always welcome here!" Edd said with a shy smile.
Kevin with a toothy grin casually walked into the house. Edd ran to the kitchen to prepare the drinks when he over heard the whispers coming from the other room.
"Dude, he SO likes you"
"Nah the dork would never fall for a guy like me. I'm too dumb for him."
"No seriously dude, listen he totally likes you, his face lights up when hes around you!". When Edd heard this his heart stopped and he couldn't move. He could not believe what he was hearing.
This had to be a joke. There was no way that Kevin was into guys, he has had girlfriends before. This was all going through Edd's head at a rapid pace. Edd quickly snapped back into reality and quickly served the hot chocolate. He carefully chose the seat closest to Kevin, just in case it was true. After about an hour of mindless chit-chat Nazz and Kevin decided to leave.
As Kevin was leaving the house he told Edd, "I uh had fun... maybe we should hang out again sometime. I mean if ya wanna."
Edd almost died right there. He felt his whole face turn bright red, and he stumbled over his answer. He finally managed to say, "I'd love to 'hang' out with you again. It would be a delight to have your company again."
At that Kevin just smiled and said, "Alright Double-Dork, I'll let you know when I'm free."
"Sounds magnificent," was all Edd could choke out before Kevin left. While the rest of the day flew by, Edd was in a state of shock. He could not believe what had happened. That night while he was getting ready for school he got a call from Eddy asking why the jerk Kevin was over his house. All Edd could say without sounding too happy was he was tutoring him in math. Eddy seemed satisfied with the answer and hung up . That night all Edd could think about was Kevin and his effulgent smile, and how his laugh was booming. Edd fell asleep with the biggest smile on his face.
