Racing Love
Me: I just got onto the Kevedd ship so this is going to be fun! All characters and such belong to their owners!
It's a quiet morning in Peach Creek when a rumbling of a van pulled down the way into the Cul-de-sac causing many to peek out their windows to see the van pull level with the new house that was built over the early spring and summer. Nazz's eyes widened as she saw a motorcycle she hadn't seen in almost twenty long years. On the bike was a bulky figure styled in ripped jeans and a leather jacket, helmet firmly on his head, the smaller figure behind him was encased in black jeans that hugged her thighs and flared out from the knees with a cropped leather jacket. A purple helmet was on her head and both had black combat boots on. Tugging the helmet off a long red ponytail draped down his back and green eyes squinted at the morning sun. Reaching into the side bag he pulled out a worn red hat and placed it on his head backwards. Nazz gasped and ran to her front door, flinging it open despite the calls from her children and husband she ran across the pavement shouting out a name she never thought she'd say again.
"KEVIN BARR YOU COMPLETE ASSHAT!" Jumping and spinning around quickly he grabbed onto his old best friend's wrists before she could scratch his eyes out with what he saw were still perfectly manicured nails. "How dare you leave without saying one word to anyone! Do you know how worried we were?!" She broke free of his grip and pounded her fists on his chest.
"Nazz, it's great to see you again. And I know, I'm sorry I left without saying anything seventeen years ago, but I did have a reason." Nazz fixed a pointed, baby blue eyed glare at him.
"Oh yeah, and what pray tell was so important that you left us all?"
"Well remember that girl I told you I hooked up with the summer after high school? Well, I got her knocked up and she didn't want the kid. Hell it was all I could do to get the wench to carry to full term." Kevin growled out the last bit under his breath. Nazz blinked and placed hands on her bathrobe encased hips.
"Knocked up? You mean you have a kid?" Nazz looked at the figure over to the right of them. The purple helmet rested against her hip and bright cyan eyes stared at Nazz. She had long black hair with red highlights slung back into a high ponytail. But what struck her most was all the piercings the girl had. She had a belly button one, an eyebrow, lip, and cartilage on top of the two sets she had in her earlobes.
"Nazz meet my sixteen year old daughter Aqua. Aqua meet my best friend Nazz." Kevin introduced them and Nazz smiled.
"Hello, welcome to Peach Creek." Aqua's lips stretched into a grin and the lip piercing on the right side followed the stretch.
"Yo, what's up?" That's when Nazz noticed a tongue piercing as well. Before Nazz could answer she was interrupted by a familiar whine.
"Mooooooooooommmmmm! We're hungry!" Kevin turned as Nazz did to see two twin boys standing in the doorway to her house. They had to be only six or so by the look of them and a man Kevin didn't know stepped into the frame behind them.
"Hunnnnieeeeeee I'm hungry too!" He whined with a grin, brown eyes glittering in amusement. Nazz sighed and giggled as she put her hands on her hips.
"Alright alright I'm coming! Honestly how did they get so whiny?" She turned back to Kevin. "You mister are bringing your daughter to the pre-school barbeque so the others can take a chunk out of your hide and so they can meet your daughter. My house at six, be there or I'll send Nat for you!" She jogged back across to her house.
"Well I guess we don't have to worry about dinner tonight." Kevin said grinning while rubbing the back of his neck.
"We best get started unpacking then dad, so we can be mostly done by then." Aqua started to instruct the movers where to take certain boxes as Kevin stared around the Cul-de-sac. Three people had been watching the whole time, driven to their doors by Nazz's scream. Nat, who only really grew in height and muscle was grinning while having his hand on a shorter male's shoulder. The shorter male had long light purple hair that touched the back of his knees, a teal bathrobe cinched around a slender waist and a deep frown marred his face. Kevin could see matching glittering bands on their hands, so obviously the shorter one was Nat's husband, but Kevin had to wonder how Nat could stand marrying someone half his height. The other one was leaned on their doorframe drinking out of a tea cup. This one had floor length black hair and Kevin could see a scar that started at the temple and stretched back to their ear, the area was bare of any hair. Cyan eyes were contemplating as the figure turned around, black robe swishing around him, then the door closed. Kevin sighed and turned around. It was nostalgic to be back, but things were different now, Nazz and Nat were married, Nazz had kids, and instead of being a pro baseball player he was now a mechanic. Although the perk was that he got to build his daughter's car in his very own shop. His daughter had been the light of his dark dreary life for the last seventeen years. And now she wasn't going to be the only light now. His daughter, she was a wild child, but she knew when to toe the line and when to speed right on past, as such for a budding NASCAR driver. In fact the only reason why she agreed to come to Peach Creek was because they had a racing division for sports, just like Vanilla Bay did. Despite walking on the wilder things in life, she was a straight A student with many awards in music, art, and BASEBALL. She had been forced into softball because she was a girl, but after fighting a battle of equal rights and sexism she got to play rough with the boys and boy did she play rough. Many thought her piercings were outrageous for a sixteen year old girl. But the way Kevin saw it, it was her own body and her own life, she could choose what to do with it as she pleased as long as she took care of herself. He did however make her promise that there would be no tattoos until after graduation.
"Daddy hurry up!" Aqua yelled and he grinned as he trotted up the drive and into his house. The movers finally left after one in the afternoon so he decided to take his daughter out to a café in town for lunch. Driving up to the Lunar Starcast, an unusual café that was owned by a bubbly woman named Bunny. He parked next to a sleek black charger that literally glittered in the sun. He took a second to admire the car before hopping off the bike and strapping his helmet onto the bike and placing his customary red cap on. Opening the gate he steppe inside the outside patio and saw the shorter male from this morning, light lavender hair braided back, a rainbow tank top and bell bottom jeans with sneakers were on his feet. He was sitting with a tall blond male that also had long hair braided back and blue streaks running through it. He was dressed in a plaid flannel shirt and jeans, cowboy boots on his feet.
"Oh come on Eddy, so Kevin is back, how is this bad?" The lavender haired male snorted.
"Ed, he's just going to go right back to his favorite past time of harassing us I just know it." Kevin's eyes about popped out of his head, those two were the dorks he picked on in high school? It was like a freaky twilight zone.
"Dad move." His daughter pushed him forward which caused him to topple over since his shocked state argued with the movement. "Dad! Are you okay?" She knelt down at the same time a ravenette did.
"Are you alright Kevin?" Kevin looked straight up into deep cyan eyes. Kevin gasped, he had only seen that light of knowing in one person's eyes before.
"Double D?" The ravenette nodded, causing a long black bang to brush his face, making him shiver at the silky texture. Extending out a lightly calloused hand Eddward helped Kevin up. When he was finally up on his feet he looked fully at the cyan eyed man. He was dressed in a white and black striped cropped shirt with overalls that he had neglected to pull up all the way, straps dangling around slim thighs, kept from falling down by flared hips and a cinched belt at the hips. Combat boots were laced up on his small feet. "Wow, I mean, wow you've sure changed since I last saw you." A grin busted out on lightly tanned lips, revealing the tell tale gap between his teeth.
"Well, so have you, and this lovely young woman behind you is?" Kevin looked behind him to see his daughter up on her feet again. She seemed just as surprised as him at the compliment.
"That's not usually the first word someone describes my daughter with when they first see her."
"Oh and what would the proper adjective be?" A black eyebrow winged up in a skeptical manner.
"Hellion, harlot, devil woman, take your pick." Kevin grumbled at the closed minds from his last home. Eddward snorted and extended his hand to the girl.
"Nonsense, whoever said that can't appreciate beauty when they see it. Hi, I'm Eddward Vincent." The girl blinked before grinning and shaking his hand.
"Aquata Barr." Eddward smiled and looked up at Kevin with calculating eyes.
"Would you two like to eat some lunch with me and my friends?" Casting a look over at the other two eds he wavered a minute, he didn't really want to deal with Eddy. But he looked back into those cyan eyes and was sold, he couldn't say no to eyes so close to his own daughters'.
"Sure, why not, it'll help me catch up with what I missed." Steering them over to the table he sat between his daughter and Edd, while his daughter sat next to Ed. That's when a wail broke out and the larger Ed bent down to a baby's buggy and undid the straps before picking up the infant. Kevin was once again shocked, he didn't expect the larger of the eds to have a child. Bouncing the infant a bit the larger Ed took a bottle of formula out of the diaper bag at his other side and cradled the baby in his arms before feeding him.
"There we go Fallon, be a good boy and eat up for mommy okay." Ed cooed and Eddy grinned.
"Mommy?" Aqua questioned and Ed grinned at her.
"Yes, I'm the mom in the relationship, my husband Rolf had the more time consuming chores to do so I took Fallon for my afternoon."
"I hope I'm not stepping on any toes here, but Ed you're talking different from when I remembered back when we were kids." Everyone went silent, Ed was smiling, Eddy was frowning and Eddward had a serene smile on his face.
"A lot happened after you left Kevin. Ed's family took him to a neurosurgeon after he fainted leaving for work on Rolf's farm one day. They found a severe tumor on the frontal lobe. It was affecting his speech and learning patterns. Well they went into surgery before it worsened, however Ed fell into a coma for about what fourteen months?" Eddward paused after that to let Ed nod his affirmation. "When he woke up, he didn't remember anything besides us and his family, so they had to send him through online courses, which he passed through quickly and quickly integrated himself into agriculture fully, in which both him and Rolf drew together and married about four years ago. They got custody of Fallon just last spring from the adoption agency. Eddy…" Eddward looked at the shortest of the trio, looking deep into Eddy's green eyes.
"I'm fine with it, Double D, really. My older brother had been emotionally and physically abusing me for about five years. Controlling me like a demented twisted puppet, from everything I wore, to everything I ate, my life was filled with fear of what he would do if I ever defied him. Finally about four years after you left, he had hit Sarah for being so annoying I stood up to him. I got the crap beat out of me, and he got locked up for life because of the abuse he had dealt to me for over ten years, the evidence carved into my back. Then a year later I got a job on a dance studio, and everyday after closing I'd dance to my heart's content. Finally one of the couches saw me and offered me a teaching position. I accepted and quickly soared up in the dancing world. Two years later, Nat and I met up on Dancing on Air, that dance show showcasing different styles of dancing. He was my partner for hip hop tango. We hit off from there, got married last year and now are trying to adopt a seven year old boy from the agency but they are fighting us much fiercer than when Ed adopted, the case worker Ed had, retired and she was the last worker that approved of same sex couples adopting." Eddy finished and Kevin was blown away by the suffering the two Eds had. He looked at Double D a bit skeptically. Arching his black eyebrow again Eddward smirked.
"My story is less dramatic. After you left and the fiasco with Eddy and Ed I left for collage as intended. I have my degree in Chemical and Bioengineering however there weren't any jobs hiring for one of those so I returned home to Peach Creek. My parents wouldn't accept me back jobless, so Nazz took me under her wing since both Ed and Eddy still had their own problems to deal with. I searched relentlessly for a job that never came up. She was heavily pregnant at that time and one morning I came outside to her cursing up a storm at her car. It wouldn't start for her, so I walked up to the library and got books on cars, did my research, did the diagnosis on her car, got the parts and fixed it. Apparently I did such a good job she told everyone she knew about me, I had cars lined up to the start of the cul-de-sac. Through that I managed to make a modest living and bought my parent's old house when they moved out about five years ago. I finally ditched my hat about six years ago when it kept interfering with fixing cars." Eddward smiled at Kevin. "Then I saw a garage opening up in Peach Creek, took my chances and applied, and got hired. I start work there next Monday, you don't happen to know who I'll be working for would you?" Eddward smirked at him and his cyan eyes glittered with amusement. Kevin blushed a bit, the sight of Double D being so forward and seductive was a definitely something he could get used to.
"I'm going to guess mine?" Eddward's smirk widened to a grin.
"That's right." Suddenly Edd's phone went off with a ringtone firmilar to Kevin but he couldn't place it before Edd answered it. "Hello? Oh, Nazz hey. Yeah, most certainly, alright I'll pick all that up and be on my way, see you soon." Eddward got up and stretched. "I have to go, Nazz is sending me on some errands that she can't get away to do. Later." Eddward flipped a hand in goodbye before exiting the gated patio and opening the door to the black charger and reversing out before speeding on his way. Ed got up as well.
"I should probably get Fallon home to Rolf and make sure everyone cleans up, it is nice to have you back Kevin." He buckled Fallon up before slinging the diaper bag over his shoulder and picking the buggy up before waving with a smile and crossing over to a ford pick up truck. Kevin turned to Eddy who was looking at him with sharp eyes.
"I won't say it was nice seeing you, however it will be interesting from here on in, later shovel chin." Eddy said as he got up and walked away, flipping his long lavender braid over his shoulder and crossed over to a perfectly restored '69 muscle car. He got in and drove off after Ed towards the cul-de-sac.
"Dad?" Aqua looked at her stunned father.
"I'm alright Aqua, just trying to deal with some regret, I'll be fine." He grinned at her before hailing down a waitress.
