EddxKevin

When school let out, the rain finally fell. Eddy and Ed had been sent to after school detention for lining the underside of the teachers desk with gum which left Double D to walk home by himself. Despite having checked the weather that morning, he hadn't brought an umbrella since Eddy had destroyed it in a scam to farm fish and sell them.

Edd heaved a great a sigh and began his trek home. If worse came to worse he decided he'd sacrifice his Geography folder to use as cover.

"Hey, Double D!" came a familiar voice to Edds left. Edd looked over to find Kevin leaning on his bike as he let his hand fall to his side. He walked over and stood a few feet from the boy.

"Hello, Kevin." He began, and without realizing he added, "Lovely weather, isn't it?"

Kevin looked at him strange then laughed slightly. "Yeah..right.." he sat up on his bike. "Hey uh..I don't normally ask for something like this but.." he glanced off to the sides, "could ya help me with my bike? I dunno what's wrong with it."

Edd was still, amazed at Kevins questions. He came to and replied humbly, "Sure, Kevin. What's the matter?"

Kevin hesitated then said, "It makes this weird clicking sound. I can't find the source...but it's safe to ride..I just don't want it making that sound."

Edd stooped over for a moment and glanced it over. When he stood he said, "I think I can help, but we'd better get going before the rain gets heavier."

"Right." Kevin nodded. "You..got a ride?"

He looked at Kevin for a moment. "Well..no. I don't usually."

Kevin realized his blunder and cleared his throat then said quickly, "Well..hop on." He slid forward and motioned for Edd to sit behind him. Edd looked at Kevin who rose a brow before he came forward and awkwardly boarded himself upon Kevins bike. He held onto the back of Kevins bike and clutched the bike with his knees, nervous.

"You'll fall off if you hang on like that." Kevin pointed out. Edd hesitated then put his shaking hands gently on Kevins shoulder. "Around my body. If I have to stop suddenly your weight will push me forward like that." he said, looking back at Edd who blushed and diverted his eyes quickly. When Kevin faced forward Edd slowly slid his arms around Kevin, without touching him, and clasped his hands at Kevins sternum.

"Hold on." Kevin directed as he began to peddle off. Instinctively Edd tightened his grip around Kevin as they gained speed. Thunder rolled in the distance and the water began to pout down heavier. The water and wind stung Edds face until he gathered enough courage to duck down and hide his face in the hood of Kevins jacket. The ride was bumpy but fast. As they neared their street, Kevin glided with ease in a sharp turn down towards the Cul-De-sac which unnerved Edd greatly. He clutched Kevin tightly and gave a small sound of fright. He could hear Kevin chuckle deep in his chest and feel his ribs expand and contract. He blushed again, burning in his worn jacket.

Kevin pulled to a quick stop in front of his garage and let Edd get off and stand beneath the roof as he opened the door to let them in.

Kevin flipped the switch to illuminate the well kept space then shut the door to keep out the draft.

"I have all the tools you could possibly need." Kevin said as he hung his jacket on a hook. Double D shivered and pulled his jacket tighter around himself.

"I'll just start with a screwdriver." Edd smiled. Kevin nodded and sauntered over to a workbench with dozens of tools hanging on it. He took a screwdriver from the gallery of tools and handed it to Edd handle first. Edd thanked him and began work on the bike with Kevin hovering protectively over Edds shoulder. Within an hour and twenty minutes he finished his work. Kevin eagerly took it for a test spin around the garage and was obviously pleased with the results.

"Sounds just like new." He said in awe. "Thanks, man!"

Edd blushed. "It was nothing.."

Kevin set his bike in the center of the garage as if it were a shining new motorcycle. For a moment he stood and an awkward silence descended upon them. Kevin nodded his head towards the house and motioned for Edd to follow. Nervous, Edd obeyed. Kevin opened the door into the house and removed his shows, Edd followed suit and followed him into the kitchen where Kevin was digging out a canister of cocoa. "Hope you like marshmallows." he said, "It's the only kind my mom will buy."

"I dont' mind them." Edd replied politely, although he was certain he'd choke on one given where he was and how nervous he was.

Kevin fixed them both a cup and sat opposite of him on the island-counter. Edd blew quietly on his cocoa but Kevin drank it right off. "So..why do you hang with those two anyway?" he began suddenly. Edd blushed again. "It's not like you can't do better.."

Edd suddenly felt angered by Kevins words against his friends. "They're my friends..

we've been friends since we were toddlers.."

"Right." Kevin said, taking a drink. Edd was quiet. He only stared into his cocoa. After a few moments Kevin spoke again. "I didn't..I mean..what I meant..uh.." he expelled air loudly. "It just sucks.."

Edd looked at Kevin quizzically. "What do you mean?"

"You're always taking their shit." he shrugged. "It's..I dunno. Sick."

Edd chewed on the inside of his cheek. "Yeah but..I do have fun..I have some great memories with those two.." he spoke with a slightly bitter tongue.

Kevin chuckled which confused Edd once again. "Yeah. I'll bet.." he said sarcastically.

Edd rested his hands in his lap. "I should be going.."

"What for? The guys are in detention, remember?"

"It's been about an hour."

"Oh, right."

There was a silence until Kevin spoke again. "They'll come for you if they want you."

Edd looked up at him. Kevins wanting Edd to stay puzzled him but also flattered him. "Is there something else you want me to do?"

Kevin blushed this time. "Oh..uh..n-no. I just.." he shrugged. Another silence.

"Kevin.."

"Yeah?"

Edd didn't say anything else in fear of making it awkward. He just sipped his cocoa. The two sat for nearly five minutes. Kevins hand slid forward then and lightly touched Edds whose were rested on the sides of his mug. Edd looked up at Kevin who took Edds hands into his own. "I just wanted to spend some time with you."

Edd Stared, shocked. "W-With..me?" Kevin nodded. "What..did you have in mind?"

"I dunno...I just sort of...hoped things would happen on their own.."

Edd smiled gripped Kevins hands. "Sounds good to me. Sometimes no plan is the best plan."

Kevin smiled gratefully. "Rad.."

Hm...should I add chapters or keep it a ones hot?
