"Just who do you think you are, anyway?!" Edd confronted Eddy. "Toying with me heart..! I thought you were DONE FOR!"

This may not have been the right time for an argument. It had only been a few hours since the dilemma with Eddy's brother. But, it had been twenty four hours since… their fight. And that time things escalated quite fast.

"Double Dee, I'm sorry," Eddy admitted as he sat on the side of his bed huddling his knees together. He touched his boyfriend's back who sat next to him, his face red with anger. Edd quickly stood up, pacing back and forth, his face as conflicted as ever.

This feeling was still very new to them. It was real. Overwhelming.

It was the first time Edd was seeing him. The real him. That him that he had stored behind an unwanted mask for many unwanted years.

That awful prank he thought would be the funniest scene he ever imagined took a turn for the worst yesterday. It was the worst idea ever that almost cost him a friendship.

"I wish to understand why, Eddy." Edd kept his voice to a low whisper. Eddy's parents were still here, probably listening closely, or much closer then they used to. Everything he had thought regarding Eddy was a lie. His insides squirmed, most likely from their klss.

"I wish I know why, Double Dee. That's the truth. I guess… I guess I'm just stupid."

Edd's heart completely melted. He went back and sat down with Eddy.

"Don't you ever think that about yourself." He already felt the tears coming for a long time. Now he didn't care that they were falling.

Eddy wouldn't look at him. "You're not going to leave again, are yah?"

"No!"

Eddy's eyes filled with tears too. In the past two days this was the most emotion Edd had ever seen from Eddy. It was difficult to witness, but it was something Edd needed to see. There was so much more.

"'Cause I ain't stoppin' yah. I'll only hold you back like always. You deserve better, Double Dee."

Edd took Eddy's face in his. "What I need is you."

"Really?" Eddy's eyes grew. He felt like this was all a dream.

Edd kissed him once more, each reciprocating their feelings this time. Eddy's arm hugged Edd's slim waist making Eddy squeal in delight. He never knew how much he craved that.

"I never meant to make you cry, Edd."

"I love when you say my name."

"I know." They continued to kiss putting the past behind them.
