"It's good for ya, Babe," Kevin said.
Edd just rolled his eyes.
"I'm plenty fit, Kevin," Edd said as he hiked up his shirt to reveal a set of abs Kevin thanked the swim and track gods everyday for.
"I know! I'm…."
"Just helping," Edd said with a knowing smile.
It was Kevin's turn to roll his eyes, but his cheeks were as red as his hair.
"I'll make you a deal," Edd said. "Next thunderstorm we have, you can help me do all my usual conditioning for the day at home."
Kevin's eyes flew open wide. Edd was always up with sun, but hated driving in the rain. He didn't work out nearly as often as Kevin did and preferred cardio to weight training, which Kevin had been after him since they started dating two years ago to try.
He'd skip a conditioning day at the gym if it meant not having to deal with bad drivers and wet roads. Considering Peach Creek's rainy season, Kevin thought it was a terrible idea, but Edd's stamina was always on point, so he didn't argue. Now he's willing to let Kevin help him?!
"DEAL!," Kevin grinned as he pulled him in for a kiss and hug.
It poured all night two nights later and when Edd got up the next morning and checked his weather app and saw it was gonna rain all day, too, he went to wake Kevin.
Except it was Saturday. Kevin was going to kill him for waking him before dawn on the weekend, but the rain gods decided Peach Creek wasn't going to see dawn for another 48 hours so what difference did it make?!
The only thing that got Kevin up was coffee and Edd shirtless on the floor as he stretched for his usual cardio workout.
"What's first?," Kevin asked as he downed his coffee.
"Sit ups."
When Kevin kneeled in front of Edd, he was impressed by Edd's perfect form, but not surprised. Perfection was the ravenette's thing. What he wasn't expecting was Edd to do one measly sit up, and throw his arms around his neck as he pulled him in for a kiss.
Kevin toppled over a giggling Edd with an 'oof.'
Kevin looked down at Edd and opened his mouth to chastise him for messing around during workout time, but Edd had wrapped himself around him and was grinning slyly.
"I prefer this workout," the genius whispered as he arched his back and rolled his hips into Kevin's.
A moment later, Edd's squealing as Kevin hoists him in his arms like a sack of potatoes and sprints to the bedroom.
Thunderstorm workouts are now their favorite workout.
