EdMay:Hidden Love (chp.1)
"Huh huh huh,cool!" the big, short haired lummox giggled as his eyes were glued to the pages of his latest comic.
Walking down the side walk, biggest of the Eds, Ed, trotted not looking where he was going, having walked the same path to the candy store day in and day out, he had the path memorized.
What he hadn't planned on in his mental layout of his path was an obstacle, coming in the opposite direction.
smash*
Being the behemoth he is, Ed's body was unfazed by the impacted, but the object itself fell towards the ground.
"Oh! uh, sorry. I was-" Ed's heart stopped, realizing the mistake it just made.
The object which halted Ed's path was one of the infamous Kanker Sisters, and the one with a particular infatuation with him, May.
In silence, May didn't look fazed by Ed's reaction, in fact she looked as though she was waiting for him to give his usual response to her.
"Just run." she said with a rather cold expression.
Bolting back towards his house, Ed was in the bed before he realized what happened.
"...wait"
Sneaking around the cul de sac, Ed slowly and discreetly made his way back to where he saw May.
Looking over the fence at her, he noticed the cold expression hadn't left her face, but that isn't why he came back, as May dusted her self off and walked away, Ed hopped the fence and began looking for the comic he left behind.
"Not home. Not home. Not Home!"
To no avail.
His comic was gone.
Disheartened, Ed slammed his way back to his home, a pocket full of quarters, yet he just wasn't in the mood for jawbreakers.
-1 hour later-
Laying in bed, mindlessly tapping away on his controller, completely destroying his online opponent, he always had a natural skill in Sm4sh, Ed couldn't shake his mind of that comic. It was his favorite series, Superman Unbound, the newest issue, gone before he could get half way thru.
Turning his game off and rolling over in his bed, Ed decided it was just best to sleep it off, despite it being just 8:30.
-4 hours of nightmare induced snoring later-
tap tap tap*
"zzzzzzzzz"
TAP TAP TAP*
"h-huh? Santa?" Ed mumbled as he woke.
Tripping over just about every comic book stack, Lego models, and discarded food in his room, Ed eventually made his way to his window. Opening the seal, allowing the chilly October air to enter his abode, Ed was utterly shocked to see his Superman Unbound comic seemingly hovering above his face.
GASP*
"Superman! You do always come back!" Ed expressed with tremendous joy, snatching the comic from its suspension.
Upon doing so, Ed felt a hand when he grabbed his comic, looking up to see who had returned it, he was slightly confused to find they were already walking away.
"Mom says to always thank good citizens for returning lost items" Ed said to himself, scurrying to get his clothes on while jumping out his window simultaneously.
"Wait up, kind sir! Ed must give thanks to you!" Ed chuckled to himself, hence all the running, he thought it'd be funny to talk like his old 12 year old self.
Now leaving the Cul-de-sac, Ed had finally caught up to mysterious stranger, and the closer he got, he began to realize it was a girl, and upon walking directly up to the girl,her back facing him, he began to recognize the blond hair.
Without turning around, May Kanker said in a tone just as cold as the weather, "Just run."
Not listening to her words, Ed was much more intrigued by her outfit.
A Red Toboggan
Black Hoodie
and Grey Sweatpants
with shoes of course.
But the most notable was the back of the hoodie, which had a Batman logo on it.
Ed,being the DC nerd he is, couldn't help but stare.
"Just Run!" May now screamed at him.
The sudden voice volume broke Ed out of his trance, he then remembered his task at hand.
"Oh! Than-"
"Yeah, whatever." said a shockingly cold May, beginning to walk away.
"Grundy's my favorite." said Ed, trying to keep her from leaving, a success.
Stopping and turning around, May responded.
"What?"
"Solomon Grundy, he's my favorite DC villian."
An unexpected light began to show in May's face, much to Ed's even more unexpected delight.
"Mine too. Well,not my very favorite, that spot belongs to Deadshot."
"Really!?" Ed shouted, his face resembling as it did in his dopey youth.
As much as he wanted to continue, it was late, and cold.
"But uh, yeah. Thanks for bringing my comic back. I'll see you around." Ed exclaimed before turning and walking away.
Still slightly astonished at what happened,May stood there for a while longer, before remembering where she soon had to return. The cold expression reclaimed itself on May's face before turning around and walking home.
