He leaned back looking up at the fan as it spun endlessly. "Just once? Yeah just once." He ran a hand through his hair sliding his dirty red hat off his head pulling some of his red hair out. It was his way of telling himself that what he was doing was okay; even if deep down he knew it was wrong. His father didn't care, he only cared if he played football and was behaved. Anything else? Well it didn't matter. Since his mother's passing he had grown violent guess that is what happened when your wife kills herself because you cheat on her with your son's girlfriend's sister. It hadn't been Rose's fault. Her sister's marriage was on the rocks and his dad offered to help. And man did he help. Rose and Kevin tried to get along, but after that but nothing seemed to work. She moved to the neighborhood as quick as she left. She moved to the house that had been Johnny's house. Kevin had liked her but it wasn't head over hills type thing. Really it was more the brother sister thing. They never did anything other couples did. But after his mother killed herself they fell to pieces. She moved saying that she would no longer ruin his life.

"Just once" he said sitting up. "Just once, then I'll never do it again." He walked over to the window and looked out. He watched as the kids walked around, well more than kids, everyone grew up. They were in high school now. Nazz had grown a pair that would knock you on your feet but that was all that had grown, she fell in to the mindless blonde cheer drone bent on being popular. Sarha calmed down a lot as she hit her freshman year. Partly because she had found an outlet in sports. Being the girly girl that loved to get dirty and take a beating she well held her place as being one of the guys. Jimmie grew up, he was taller than Kevin but he was still weaker. He didn't have to have those train tracks anymore. And he finally came out the closet. He came out in front of the whole school telling them he was gay in the most bravest of ways, He walked up to a new teacher and kissed him. Full mouth and everything of course after that he moved out the neighborhood but he comes to see Sarha every chance he gets. Johnny was moved out of his house. Someone called the cops of his family after Johnny brought his best friend plank to shop class and told everyone that they were murders. Turns out his family smoked a whole hell of a lot weed all the time. So they moved all of them, no one really knows where he moved to and no one really cared too. Ralf graduated early due to problems with his Nana, due to failing health Ralf doubled his classes so he could be home more and help with their family farm, now a very well-liked petting Zoo even though he is man's man everyone know that he enjoys seeing all the children having fun. He eyed someone running down the street, it was Ed, the dumber of Ed's running yelling something that didn't even sound like English. Ed had stopped growing, he was taller than the other Ed's but no taller than Kevin. He stayed the same, still dumber than a box of rocks. Eddy came next still short but he had finally grown more hair but he to like Ed had remained unchanged. He still tried to scam everyone around him but he always failed. Kevin didn't mind this though because it gives him just a reason to beat him up. Edd came half running half walking behind Eddy. Kevin felt his face turn slightly at the sight of the smartest Ed. Double D was still as smart if not smarter. He grew taller about to Kevin's chin or at least that is was he guessed. He still had his slender body, though he had started yoga that added just a slight bit of muscle to him or at least toned him. He was still the weakest of everyone in high school. He was bullied more than Ed and Edd. Because of his smarts, lack of anything that made him seem well like a guy he got beat up more thought he was small he could take a pounding. Kevin though had quit bulling him in the eighth grade, it seemed pointless to him for some reason. He still rags on him just not as much.

He turned away from the window realizing he had though too much of Double D but was turned right back around when he heard the yelp from Double D. "ED! EDDY! HELP THEY HAVE CAUGHT ME! YOU GUYS JUST CAN'T LEAVE ME HERE!" He shouted as the three girls circled around him. "Damn it Marie you let our men get away!" Lee shouted at her sister who was drawing hearts on Edd's chest. "Oh shut it. You want them you go get them I got my man." She said getting closer in his face. "Selfish hog" Her sisters shouted as they ran off. Marie stepped closer pinning Edd to the fence and grabbed at him cause him to yelp again and she giggled at the site "Marie please be civil about this. I have told you that I have no intimate attraction towards you, please don't think me to be harsh but I won't be a good mate. Marie please unhand me." Her smile got bigger "Oh sugar I love it when you talk to me like that" Kevin didn't even realize he was outside until Marie was screaming bloody murder as he pulled her off and away from Edd. "Hey stray. The Man said no so why don't you go run along and find somewhere nice to hide in. Like an alley or a trash can." He said throwing her to the side and pulling Double D behind him. "Beat it Ginger, what do you care about him? Last time I checked you like to rag on him so now why is it your job to keep him safe? Hm? B.A.C.K O.F.F Kay?" She said struggling to keep composer in front of the now growing crowd around the three. "Well then I guess that makes him MY dork now doesn't it? SO how's about you go back to the trailer you crawled out from under" The crowd gasped at what he had just said. No one ever dared to cross Kevin or the Kankers due to the fact they both were pretty mean and well known for their violence. Marie smirked "well" She said coldly "at least my mommy didn't kill herself because my father is a lying man whore who-" she couldn't even finish it before Kevin went to swing but mid swing he saw the look on Double D's face and pulled back stopping just at the end of her nose the crowd quickly left knowing this could turn ugly at any moment. Kevin's words seemed to be ice cold but very vicious; "Listen here you dirty little piece of trash. Don't you ever talk about my family. I don't give a damn if you are a girl or not. I'm not even sure if you are a girl or not. But if I even think that you have had even the slight of thought about me or my family it will be the little thing you ever think and yes that is a promise and no I am not scared of anything you say or do because you have stepped over a line not even the bravest person is willing to cross so let me make you suggestion" He said snatching her by her shirt ripping just enough to send a message. "I would get out of here if you want to live another day in that trashy little whore house you live in you got that? Now scamper on you tramp go back to the other side of the train tracks and take your trash with you." He said shoving her in the rest of her sister as they came up on the tail end of the now ended fight. "Marie you alright you need us to rough him up for ya's?" They said together cracking their knuckles to seem scary but Kevin just swung at the fence, smashing a good sized hole in to the solid wood. "I said leave." He said coldly causing them to back up. "Come on girls" Lee said pulling the two back. "This isn't over Ginger we'll see you around" They said running off back to the trailer park.

"Thanks Kevin" Double D said looking lost and grateful all at the same time. "It was nothing dork. Now let's get you home before they came back." Kevin hadn't of realized how far he actually ran to Edd's side until they made it to his house. It was a good ways away Kevin noted though he wasn't sure why he had ran to him. Kevin's thoughts were cut short by Double D's voice. "Uh Kevin Thank you I-I-I didn't think you even cared for me but you saved me. I-I-I-I" "Save it Double Dork. It was nothing" He said now trying to ignore his bleeding hand; Double D now realizing that Kevin had gotten hurt saving him. "Kevin you're bleed, let me bandage you up. I don't want you to get a disease or an infection all because of me." Kevin rolled his eyes at him, "God he is so cute" he thought to himself. Then realizing what he had thought made him turn bright red. "Kevin are you ill? Have you become sick? Come on we need to get you med-"Kevin had quit listening he was being taken into Edd's house. And for some reason his heart was beating fast he didn't not what was going on. "I have a few rules but the number one rule is no shoes" He said pulling Kevin back to Earth, "Uh yeah sure thing" he slipped off his shoes at the door as told and let Edd lead him to where ever he needed to go. They walked up the stairs, and there was a few doors with labels on them "Mother and Father's Room" "Closet" "Bathroom" "Edd's Room"; Kevin was amazed that everything seemed to have a place in the house everything seemed to have a label, a shelf, a door, or something that kept in order. "Kevin please have a seat here and I will be right back okay? And please don't touch anything I have everything in order and just how I like it" He said walking out the door way. "God" Kevin thought, "He is wow."
