My Dearest Journal,

The time has finally come! In exactly 31 days from this date, I shall be embarking on my trip to Romania! I have been looking forward to this date for nearly two years! Now the time has finally come, being that I will be graduating in three weeks, at the top of my class and with honors if I may add; because of my outstanding achievements, Mother and Father are finally letting me take the trip of my dreams! I shall be spending my entire summer in Romania, plus an additional four months. I have all of the information that I need taped to the back of this page. This is mostly for my benefit, in case I would, for some bizarre reason, forget. I also have neglected telling you, journal, maybe to surprise you? But anyway, I am going!

I am more than enthused about this trip, but my biggest worry is telling Kevin. Oh, journal, you know much about Kevin, as I mentioned him numerous times. You know of my childhood friend/enemy. And I mentioned how we finally became friends in high school, finally putting the childish behavior behind us. Obviously we have blossomed into a romantic relationship, and it's been a wonderful year for us. But, I'm still uncertain of how I'm going to tell him that I'm leaving for the entire summer…

Edd sighed softly, closing the leather journal and setting inside his desk drawer. He frowned a little as he thought about what he had just wrote in his journal. How will he tell Kevin that he will be leaving for over three months? Edd sighed once more and made his way over to his bed, collapsing on his back. 'I'm conflicted…'

For as long as Edd could remember, he loved to travel. With his father being a pilot and his mother a flight attendant on international flights, he always got to travel. He's been overseas to Europe numerous times, London being the most place he had visited. He always loved the scenery there. The busy streets, the beautiful waters, and the architecture was gorgeous. He had also traveled to Paris, France with his parents for Christmas.

Being that his parents were on international flights, they barely had time for one another. They would send postcards and letters every so often back home to Edd. He loved seeing where his parents ended up, even if it met time apart. Because he knew when they arrived home, it would be a wondrous occasion for everyone. But, he could only hope for that day to come soon. They had promised him that they would be home for when he received his diploma, and Edd was enthralled to hear the news. But, in the back of his mind, Edd knew he shouldn't get his hopes up too soon.

Edd rolled over onto his stomach after staring at his ceiling for some time He took out his iPhone and scrolled through his messages until he found Kevin's name.

'Hello Kevin. Are you perhaps busy by chance?' He waited nearly ten minutes before he finally got a reply from his boyfriend.

'i just got out of tha shower babe. wassup?' Edd rolled his eyes at the text message.

'Your texting is atrocious. Can you please stop over? I would very much appreciate your company tonight.' Edd immediately got his reply.

'be right there sass a frass' Edd grinned and set his phone back onto his nightstand. He stood up and stretched a little, making the baseball jersey he was wearing rise above his hips. He then made his way downstairs into his living room to wait for Kevin to arrive.

Edd had enough time to make two cups of tea for him and Kevin before his front door opened.

"Shoes!" Edd yelled from the kitchen. He swore he could hear Kevin scoff from the living room.

"Sheesh." Kevin grumbled as he appeared into the kitchen. "Hey babe." He cooed, wrapping his arms around the smaller boys waist, planting kisses against his temple. "Did I ever tell you how sexy you look in my jersey?"

"Hello Kevin." Edd giggled and turned toward him, presenting a cup of tea. "Yes, you've told me once or twice before. Here, I just made this. It's Sinicuichi Erotic Tea. It was made with dried Sinicuichi leaves!" Edd happily exclaimed while taking a sip. The tea immediately warmed his entire body, and he felt relaxed.

Kevin stared at his boyfriend for a second then broke out into a fit of laughter. "Thanks, Martha Stewart. The tea is wonderful." Edd slapped the red head in his arm a little, pouting as he went to his bedroom. "Aw, come on Mr. Pouty pants!" Kevin chuckled as he followed Edd up into his bedroom.

Edd had already laid himself on the bed, so Kevin crawled in next to him, placing gentle kisses along his jawline, then finally connecting with his lips. Edd smiled against the red head's lips, wrapping his arms around his neck. Kevin chuckled as he threw his arms around the smaller boys waist and pulled him closer against his body.

"So, dork. Why did you want me to come over, hm?" He teasingly kissed Edd's neck, making Edd giggle and put his hands against Kevin's chest.

"What? I can't see my boyfriend?" He replied playfully, with a little attitude in his voice. Kevin moved closer to kiss him, but Edd moved his face a little, still giggling.

"You're so sassy. I love it." He moved closer to Edd's ear, whispering. "And I love you."

"And I love you too." He whispered back, connecting their lips once more. Kevin deepened the kiss as he pushed apart his lips with Edd mimicking his movements. Kevin turned over, so he was hovering over top of Edd. He moved closer to Edd's neck, kissing and sucking at all of his sweet spots. He knew where each spot was too. 'Right below his right ear'…he placed a kiss there. 'The front of his neck'…he slowly grazed his teeth along, making Edd let out a breathless moan. 'Along his collarbone'…He bit even harder, making Edd arch his back. He knew how to please his boyfriend, and Edd also knew how to please him. They were a match made in heaven.

Edd threw his arms around Kevin's neck, and his legs around his muscular waist. "Make love to me, Kevin." He whispered, trying to sound completely innocent. Kevin grinned from ear to ear.

"I would love to." He replied before crashing their lips together once more.

My Dearest Journal,

Last night couldn't have been more…amazing. I had asked Kevin to accompany me, and of course he obliged. It was the most exhilarating night I've had with him in a long time. We made love, and it was last few months when we would had intercourse, honestly I haven't felt that spark that I would usually feel. But last night, that "spark" was there. I felt connected with Kevin; I felt like we were a whole and not two separate people. But sometimes, I feel like nothing more than.. his "plaything" for when he might be bored. But, alas, I love him.

Right now, he is snoring away. I don't plan to wake him until 9 AM. I shall serve him breakfast in bed! All of his favorites, including pancakes, blueberry if I may add. Bacon and sausage, although it will be the healthy alternative to what he usually will consider "bacon" and whatnot. I shall make him orange juice, not pour a cup from a container, I'll make him orange juice. I'm more than excited for this breakfast, and I also plan to tell him about my trip. I'm praying it goes well… although we can' wish for miracles.

Edd placed his journal in the usual spot in his desk drawer: underneath two notebooks. It was invisible to the eye, and he knew that no one would be looking for it. He smiled as looked back over at Kevin, snoring away still. Edd jumped up from his chair and walked downstairs to begin preparing Kevin's breakfast in bed.

Out of no where, Kevin jumped out of bed, nearly having a heart attack. He then realized his phone was ringing. "Shit!" He mumbled, reaching for his phone on the nightstand.

"Yeah?" He spoke, still feeling groggy and sleepy.

"Hey, Kev." It was his dad.

"Dad, it's 7 in the morning. Why!" He groaned, laying back on the bed. He looked to his left and noticed Edd wasn't in bed. 'Already?' He shook his head, beginning to stand up.

"Yeah, sorry I don't really wanna be up either. But you know that shop I was tellin' ya about?"

"Yeah, the bike shop?" Kevin was still half asleep, so nothing was registering in his mind.

"Well, they wanna hire ya because I gave ya a good recommendation." Kevin's eyes widened.

"Are..are you serious?!" He nearly yelled into the phone, smiling like an idiot. "That's awesome!"

"Yeah, you just gotta see them tomorrow. 'Round noon. Gotta a pen and paper? I'll give ya the address."

"Yeah, yeah! Edd's bound to have a notebook somewhere. Hold on." Kevin made his way over to Edd's desk, but he couldn't find any papers, not even a sticky note. He opened the drawer open and grabbed a notebook and a pen. "Go ahead." He swiftly wrote as his dad told him the address.

"I expect to see you workin' there next week, kid." Kevin grinned, but immediately frowned. "Man, how am I gonna tell Dee dad?" His dad was silent for a moment, but spoke up.

"He knows how much that job meant to ya, he'll understand. Even if you're working three hours away, kid. I'm sure you guys will work through it." Kevin smirked.

"Yeah, thanks dad. I'll be there tomorrow. Later." He hung up and set his phone on the desk. He must've set it too close to the edge, because it fell into Edd's desk drawer. "Of course.." He mumbled, fishing in the desk for his phone. He grabbed it, and something caught his eye. It was a decent sized leather bound book, and it was pretty thick. "Journal" was etched onto the front of it. Kevin quietly listened for Edd, but he knew he was in the kitchen. He sighed and stared at the journal now in his hands.

'Shit.. I shouldn't..' He thought to himself as he stared at it. 'But then again, he's probably just talking about dorky shit. Maybe he went into detail about us having sex..' That thought sent Kevin into Edd's journal. There were numerous entries in it. He flipped through, seeing sketches of bugs, leaves and flowers prints, and even pictures of himself and Kevin. Kevin grinned when he read the entry about having their one year anniversary.

Kevin had taken Edd to the lake, being the fact his dad owned a small lake house. Kevin couldn't afford nice things, but he ended up saving his money and buying Edd a promise ring. He practically proposed to Edd, and ever since, Edd never took off the ring. He smirked when he began reading about the sex they had. Edd had a way with words, and it was honestly the first time Kevin got an erection reading something. 'Shit..' He smirked again and began flipping the pages. One part of an entry caught his eye.

How do I tell him? What will he say? Will he leave me? Oh journal, I wish I was better with words…

Kevin looked at the entry, very skeptical. He began flipping through more entries, nearly all of them saying the same damn thing.

"The hell did you do, Dee?" He whispered as he kept flipping through the pages fast, then one page stuck out from the rest. There was entry from yesterday, and there were papers behind it. Kevin pulled out the papers and examined them. There was a plane ticket, a passport, and papers talking about some..hotel it seemed. But it was in another language. 'What the hell..' Kevin flipped the page and began to read the entry from yesterday.

"Romania!?" He whispered loudly. "He's going to fucking Ro-" Kevin heard Edd walking up the stairs, so he closed the journal and pulled the blankets over him, as he turned the opposite way clutching the journal.

"Kevin..? Are you awake?" Kevin stayed completely still without making a noise. Eventually, he heard the door close, so he sat back up, taking the journal back out. "Why didn't he tell me…" He whispered again.

Kevin flipped the page to today's entry. Edd wrote it only an hour ago. Kevin sighed and shook his head, feeling completely hurt and betrayed. How could Edd think something like that? How could he ever think that? Kevin felt anger spark inside him, so he closed the journal and placed where he found it: underneath the notebooks in the desk drawer. He quickly dressed himself then walked downstairs.

"Oh, hello Kevin!" Edd smiled cheerfully, holding a tray of food for Kevin. Kevin stared at the food, then back at Edd.

"I gotta go. I'll..um.. call you later." Kevin spoke, shaking his head. "Maybe.." He mumbled as he put on his shoes.

"I'm sorry, what? You can't stay? I just.. m-made breakfast for you?" Edd felt heartbroken, his entry coming back to him. Kevin was leaving Edd like he was some one night stand.

"I have to go. I.. just.. something came up." Edd quickly set the food down and walked toward Kevin. As Kevin opened the door, Edd abruptly closed it. "Edd, move. I have to go."

"Why can't you at least stay for breakfast?" Edd looked up at him with pleading eyes.

"Because..something came up. Now move." He gritted his teeth together, and clenched his fists. Edd noticed he did those things, so he placed a kiss on Kevin's cheek.

"Why can't you talk to me? We always tell each other everything." He smiled, making Kevin scoff.

"Yeah, you're one to fucking talk." He snapped, making Edd feel utterly confused.

"Language Kevin! And I'm sorry, I don't understand?" Kevin grinned and crossed his arms.

"Stop playing dumb, it's not a good look on you."

"Excuse me? Kevin, will you please just tell me what I did-"

"When the hell were you going to tell me you were going to Romania?!" He nearly yelled, making Edd drop his mouth open.

"How..did.. you-"

"As much as I don't want to admit this, I read your god damn journal."

"K-kevin! That's an invasion of privacy!" Edd felt his chest tighten up.

"I thought you might've wrote some like, I don't know. Hot stuff that we did. So i was snooping. And I'm sorry that I did that, but then again I'm not. You're leaving in a fucking month, for how long?"

"Seven..months.." Edd mumbled, rubbing his arm to try and calm his nerves.

"Seven fucking months?!" Kevin was yelling at this point, making Edd flinch with every word. "Not only were you keeping this from me, you also said all those horrible things about me! Like, how I only think of you as a fucking booty call or something? I don't know exactly what you said, but it fucking hurt!" Kevin's voice nearly cracked, but he held his composure.

"K-kevin.. I'm sorry-"

"And I was nervous as hell to tell you that I'd be working three hours away. When you will halfway across the fucking world!" Kevin moved Edd out of the way and headed outside.

"Kevin!" Edd cried out, immediately putting his hand over his mouth to stop himself from crying. But, unfortunately he was already crying. Edd slowly closed his front door, sinking to the floor with his back toward the door. He looked up to see the food he made for Kevin and sighed. He stood up and walked into the kitchen, discarding the food into the garbage. Suddenly, Edd had lost his appetite.
