Hello! It's been a long time and I can't wait to hear what you all think! Anyway, I'm not really sure how far I'll go with this or even if it'll be worth finishing. Anyway, I love this pairing and have been dying to get back to writing as it's so relaxing. Let me know what you think! Happy reading everyone.

KEVIN

"I can't believe he's here! I guess double D was always really smart so it makes sense, this is one of the best colleges in the state." I shrugged not really sure if Naz was talking to me or herself.

Lizzy put her arm around m waist and hugged me, pushing herself as close as she could like she was trying to crawl under my skin. "Who cares anyway? He was such a freak in school."

Naz gave a disgusted sound and took off in his direction and I had the urge to follow her too. I miss being a kid, teasing Edd was my favorite activity as a young child. At the time I'm sure he thought I was a real jerk but it wasn't out of malice. I wanted so badly what the Edds had I couldn't help myself. I was the worst type of bully.

"Kev let's go back to your room now" Lizzy whined at me. "I want you" she was on her tip toes whispering in my ear, normally I'd comply. As expected of me I'd take her back to my shared room and give her what she wanted because she was a cheerleader and I was a football star.

Lizzy was blond teased hair, big brown eyes and a mouth that was... impressive. She was tall enough to look good but short enough to fit under my arm at games, she'd come to the cul-de-sac around middle school and had ended up coming to college with me. We've been dating since 10th grade and everyone expects I'll marry her.

Naz has expressed her general disapproval but loves me to much to disown me over this. Dad said she's good for me and as I look down into those big brown eyes I know that I'll be satisfied and content in my life. I know my future and everything that is in store for me. Why would I ever need anything more than a good career, a good wife and a good home. I should be grateful for the stability offered to me.

I watch Edd smile at Naz from far away and he's kind of beautiful. Blue eyes almost glowing in the setting sun, jet black hair and a crooked smile with a gap in the middle that's never been corrected. I ponder about his mouth for a second, wondering just what it might be capable of. Better that I never find out, what an embarrassment that would be no doubt.

"Kevin!" Lizzy actually stomps her foot and I realize she thinks I'm staring at Naz. "Sorry, I was just thinking about the Edds" not a lie, but she doesn't kneed to know what I was actually focusing on. "Whatever Kevin, I'm not in the mood anymore. Walk me back to my room I have to study for a test" she demands and I agree automatically.

We're heading right for double D and I can't help but smirk as we draw closer. Fuck why am I feeling like this? I reach my hand out to touch him but catch myself and instead ruffle Naz's hair on the way past. "Double D" I acknowledge him also, feeling really out of it.

Lizzy is glaring daggers at me but he squeaks "Hello Kevin" in such a small voice I laugh out loud. Now Lizzy is pissed, thinking I'm laughing at her. "Fuck off Kevin" she storms off, picking up speed and leaving me in the dust.

"Kev what the hell was that?" Naz asks from behind me. I turn to find her standing there with her head tilted and a worn expression on her face.

"I'm always messing up hu? She'll call me later to tell me what I did wrong. Hey Edd, good to see you" he's bent over a little trying to hide himself behind Naz but I can't resist. The urge I have to tease him rears it's ugly head as it had when we were kids.

"Kevin, I did not expect you would be coming here. It's a pleasant surprise to see you as well" Naz laughed and said it outloud "Kev he thought you'd never make the entrance exam. Neither did I to be honest, but I did help him." Naz, to her credit, is the reason I passed it's true.

"Dude you can just say you think I'm kind of dumb. Without Naz I would be failing all of my classes, we took almost all the same ones. I don't really have a major, just general stuff because I'm here on scholarship." Why am I telling him all this? It's not like he asked.

"I'm here to become a scientist but I would love to be teacher." I know I'm staring but he's really filled out as a teenager. He's almost as tall as me and less lanky now. His chest looks like he's put some work into it and I'd imagine he might have some abs under the baggy grey shirt. He's still slim though, and his legs are longer than Lizzys I think.

That makes me laugh and I notice Naz watching me watch him. I quickly focus on her face trying to play the whole thing off but I also take notice to the silence that has settled over us. "So I was saying that we should get lunch tomorrow after third period, what do you say Kev? If it's okay with double D?"

"If you'd like to join us Kevin that would be splendid. I miss Eddy and Ed very much and reconnecting with some old friends would be a good time." He seems so genuine I can't help myself "Double dweeb if you'll be there you can count me in for anything" I take a step closer to him with a smirk and he stumbles back a bit.

EDD

Kevin is watching me like an animal might watch a future meal. I almost fall backwards when he steps closer to me with the wolfish smile. Maybe inviting him wasn't the best idea, and he's back to calling me names. I had hoped that maturing a bit might have helped with his general disposition but I seem to be mistaken.

He looks the same if not more muscular. Toned arms, emerald eyes, adorable freckles and a baseball cap turned backwards. He's finally taller than me but somehow I don't feel quite as small when he looks at me as I did when we were children. This look he's giving me now makes me think of ravenous hunger but I'm not sure what kind of feast he's expecting.

"Sorry" he steps back and more silence follows, I'm looking him in the eye and this is a courage I rarely find in myself. If I look away I know he'll take it as submission and I can't afford to live in his shadow for the entirety of my college life like I did for grade school.

"Tomorrow then at the cafe in the middle" Naz points over to a set of three eateries in a row that are located in the middle of campus after breaking the silence. "See you tomorrow Edd!" she grabs Kevins arm waving and steers him away though he continues to look at me, going so far as to turn his head. No doubt about it, we will have to address the problem he seems to have with me as adults some time soon.

I turn towards my room and head that way with my head down and trying to power through this feeling of inevitable doom. Something is going to go very wrong here and I know it, there is no universe where Kevin will be kind to me. I sigh wondering when it was that I offended him so. Ed was the one who was always picking fights with him.

I opened my single room door. Being gay was hard by itself but having to share a room with another guy who might have been straight was something I couldn't handle. If I was ever found out they'd probably beat the shit out of me. Shaking my head I tried to help my attitude with some positive thinking.

"You're much more equipped to defend yourself, stop moping around. Hit the gym" I encouraged myself out loud and snatched my keys off the dresser beside my bed. I was so sick of being seen as weak that I had started working out, weights were easier than cardio with my asthma. I'd bulked up to being a sizable 170lbs at 6 feet tall which was more than I'd ever imagined I'd make it to.

After I finished and drove home it was time to hit bed and I tossed and turned for a long time before finally falling into a restless sleep.

"He has something he wants to tell you Edd" Naz was practically exploding with excitement and standing behind her was Kevin. He was shirtless and sweaty, dirt streaking his cheek. I peaked around her to get a better look at the glistening skin.

He was tanned evenly and gorgeous, I felt my chest tighten as he took a step forward like earlier. This time I just looked up at him, he was right in front of me close enough to touch and Naz was long forgotten.

"Edd, I want you to... you know... please be..." he was searching for words. "You can't be real" I breathed and reached for him, sure enough he poofed away and I woke alone in my bed.

I shook my head wishing to never have a dream like that again. I got dressed as fast as I could and practically ran to my first class of the day which was all the way across campus.

When I got there I took my seat at the front of the class where I was almost always alone. Elizabeth took a seat next to me for whatever reason. I cringed, she was Kevins long time girlfriend and incredibly popular. She was even meaner to me than he had ever been. Perhaps because she'd felt genuinely mean while Kevin was more of a teaser than heartless.

"Dweeb, what is it that you and that slut were talking about with Kevin yesterday?" she sneered and I swear she had never looked so ugly. This face was not one she would ever show to Kevin. "I don't know what you're talking about" I blatantly lied to her face and we both knew it.

"You tell that skank to stay away from MY man or else she'll have some problems next time she uses a bathroom." she stood up trying to walk away, I wouldn't normally say anything but I reached for her hand "You should be careful not to let Kevin see you like this, jealousy really is so ugly. Especially when you're not very pretty to begin with Elizabeth."

Defending myself was one thing but I would protect Naz, she was innocent here and didn't have feelings for Kevin anyway. If it were to be truthfully told Naz was as gay as I but she wasn't out. Elizabeth was terrible to her for years behind Kevins back but Naz wanted him to be happy so she never said a single thing. Admirable.

"I will fucking end you" she whispered and I let go of her wrist as the teacher entered. "please take your seats."
