Hey guys, how are you? :)
I present to you the second chapter of 'I'll Be Your Geek, If You'll Be My Nerd'. Kind of a mouthful, huh? Anyway, in this chapter you'll find out what 'gift' Eddy has planned for Kevin and the end result of it. I won't say too much, because I don't want to spoil it. :)

Oh! Another thing; I'm going to be updating some chapters of stories like Highschool Never Ends. I noticed that the first chapter of this story and Highschool Never Ends was very jumbled and mushed together. It was hard to read for me, so I can imagine it was probably hard to read for you guys as well. I won't be changing much, just rearranging the dialog and separating the paragraphs so they aren't as thick and mushed. I'm sorry about that.

So, I hope you enjoy this chapter, and if ya do, tell me what ya think of it in the reviews if you'd like. :D
Thanks for reading! Enjoy!~

EDIT 6/2/2017 - I AM SO SORRY THIS IS SO MUCH LATER THAN I WANTED.
I've got some... personal stuff going on and there's stuff with my friends and I'm just... I feel so done sometimes. I just don't wanna do anything anymore but that's not fair to you guys. I'm so sorry. I really hope you enjoy this chapter and I, again, am so sorry for letting my personal life affect when I update x(


Edd was going to go home but Eddy had other plans. He needed a distraction when he slipped into the locker rooms, and since Ed wasn't here, Edd would have to do. As much as Edd argued against it, it didn't help for Eddy just ignored him as usual. So, Edd found himself slipping into the crowded locker room, looking for Kevin. Eddy followed behind, hiding from the other jocks.

"Wait until you see Kevin. Talk to him or something, just distract him then I'll slip the fucker his 'gift', okay?" Eddy whispered harshly to Edd, who sighed and nodded slowly.

"And what of the other jocks, Eddy? Surely they will see something is wrong and act. What if I get beat up or-"

"Look, there he is! Go! Go!" Eddy pushed Edd, causing him to stumble and bump right into Kevin. Edd yelped and backed away while Kevin whirled around, holding his basketball. They looked at one another for a minute before it finally sank into Kevin's head that he was staring at Edd, the dorky loser that hung out with Eddy.

"Edd, what the fuck are you doing in here?" Kevin slammed his locker shut, dropping the lock onto the bench. Eddy ran by to the next row of lockers and hid behind them, pulling a small bag out of his jacket pocket.

Kevin glared harshly at Edd who continued to back away from the taller teen, visibly shaking. "I-I was sent here to.. Uhm... tell you s-something..." Edd nearly tripped over a bench, to which Kevin snorted.

"Okay, well what the fuck is it? In case you don't realize, double dweeb, I got practice right now and you're wasting my fucking time. So speak." Edd frowned, trying his best to hold his ground, trying not to seem like a scared little kid.

"The over a-amount of profanity is not necessary, K-Kevin... You may speak w-withou-"

"Don't fucking tell me what to do! What do you want, damn it?!" Kevin was getting angrier by the second and was losing patience fast. He was going to get grilled by the coach again! What the hell did the dweeb want? Was it about the library? Why the hell didn't he just say if it was? It's not like he was threatening him or anything.

"I-I simply wanted to state that... I understand you're difficulties in juggling practice a-and classes. So, I want to h-help...you..." At this, Kevin crossed his arms, his nicely toned arms Edd noticed, and rose an eyebrow.

"Help me? Like what, tutor me? I don't need your help, Dork." Edd sighed and glanced behind Kevin. How much longer must he keep this up? He did not want to see Kevin angered any further, plus he had many chores to do, and homework as well! He didn't see Eddy, maybe he was still hiding?

"O-Of course, Kevin. It was merely a suggestion. I-I'll take my leave then." Edd quickly spun away, all too ready to leave when he was grabbed by the arm and pulled back to face a now uncomfortable looking Kevin.

"Uhm.." He let go of Edd's arm, shoving his hands into his shorts pockets, looking to the floor. Now what? Why'd he pull him back for? What was he to say? "Look, I do need some help with...Math. So, maybe you can help out with that." There, that wasn't too hard now was it, Kevin? Edd didn't say anything so Kevin looked up to see him stumbling for words again. What a dork.

"I-I'd love to help out, Kevin. Uhm, you have practice so I won't keep you... I'll see you, uh, tomorrow. We can discuss this further over lunch." Edd's face brightened, realizing how that sounded as it left his lips. "O-Or afterschool! really any time is fine, I have no duties, besides homework and maybe some chores, b-but I'm sure we can work something out! I-I should go, farewell K-Kevin."

Edd stumbled out the locker room before Kevin could say anything. With a sigh, he turned on his heels and went through the other doors, towards the gym with only a glance back. What a total loser. He's a bumbling idiot, why did he ever ask for help? Because he's not an idiot, Kevin. Quite the opposite, he's a genius and you suck at math. He could help you, in more ways than one.

Kevin furrowed his brow and groaned, picking up his pace more irritated than before. "What a load of bull..."


Edd rushed home, fumbling with his keys and tripping over his own shoes as he took them off at the door. Tossing his book bag on the couch, Edd paced back and forth in front of it, rubbing his temples.

That just happened! He was going to tutor Kevin! Kevin, of all people! Edd shook his head, a worried expression etched onto his face. "No, no, calm yourself, Edd. Do not overreact to such silly things. It is simply tutoring, nothing more and nothing less. Just think of him as any other student..." But that was just it; Kevin was not just any other student.

He never realized it until the end of middle school, but by then it was too late to tell Kevin. Edd had been slowly developing feelings for the older jock, rude as he had been to the trio. Edd always thought that somewhere deep down Kevin had a soft side, one that only those close could access, and Edd started to realize that he had been wanting to see that side of Kevin. He wanted to see a lot of Kevin. Kevin was the only thing that entered his mind and never did he exit.

"Oh this is disastrous..." Edd flopped onto the couch, his head in his hands. A sudden bang caused him to jump out of his thoughts and off the couch.

"Gyah!" Edd yelped, flying off the couch and onto his butt, only to see Eddy standing behind said couch. "Oh my-Eddy! What are you doing in my house? How did you get in?" Had he no shame!? Eddy only snickered, moving to the side of the couch.

"Geez, Double Dork, you sure are jumpy today. Anyway, I see ya didn't get beat up, though they musta did something to you, you're rambling more than usual." Eddy flopped next to Edd's bag, annoyance clear on his face. Whatever he came here for it wasn't just to see how Edd was doing.

"Oh, I guess you could say that. Now, what is it you want, Eddy? I have chores to do and homework to get done. Surely what you want couldn't have waited or you could have phoned me, perhaps?" Eddy rolled his eyes and Edd sat next to him. "Or maybe you'd like to tell me where you disappeared to, and what exactly your plan was in the first place?"

"I don't have to explain shit to you. You'll see tomorrow, I'm sure. Kevin is in for it now, and this shit is long overdue. I need help with my homework, and you're like a freakin brainiac so let's get to it." Of course, that's what Eddy would be here for. To drop off his homework. Somehow, Eddy was no different than the typical jocks he claimed to hate so much.

"Eddy, you must attempt it yourself, I cannot and will not give you all the answers straight away. How will you ever learn?" Big mistake, for Eddy glared threateningly at Edd and scoffed.

"Okay, first of all, math is completely idiotic. Algebra? Like anybody ever uses that shit."

"Actually-"

"And secondly, you're my best friend, my wingman. You're supposed to help me when I need it so I'm asking you for help. You gonna turn me away now?" Eddy's face softened and Edd frowned, groaning lightly. He knew Edd was a pushover and, if asked nicely enough (or threateningly enough), he would help out as much as he could.

"Fine! Fine, I'll help you but this is the last time. You need to learn on your own. What are you going to do when we go to separate colleges or universities?" If Eddy even made it that far, he would never survive. Edd was honestly worried about him, the way his life was going now. His brother was not much of a help either, he was a terrible role model.

"Hey, thanks Double Dweeb. I'll drop by later, alright? I'm gonna go buy me some jawbreakers and shit with the money I got today. Maybe get some video games, too." Edd huffed disapprovingly but led Eddy out and told him to get home safely. It wasn't the time for it to get dark early but Edd knew Eddy had some enemies in the school and they'd be looking to hurt him.

As Edd closed the door, he narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms. How did Eddy manage to get in? Then it hit him. The spare key under the opening in the side of the porch. Edd sighed and stepped outside, crouching down on his knees to carefully slip his hand in a small opening on the side of his concrete porch. His fingers only went in about halfway and but that was far enough. The key should have been right there but it wasn't.

After getting up and dusting himself off, Edd frowned and headed back inside. Did Eddy take the key with him? But why? It was no use to him. Unless, of course, he decided to melt it down and use it to enhance some new drug or something. He'd probably poison half the kids in school but if he got money off of it, then Eddy wouldn't care.

Edd huffed again and took his dirty sweater off. There was now dirt on the sleeve and his pants had dirt on the knees. Oh, and his socks! Edd just got completely dirty in a matter of three seconds! Now he had to add to the wash he was already to do! Better he get started on the chores now, he supposed. Once he was done with those then he can get started on the double homework he had to do.

It was going to be a long day.


It took Edd about three and a half hours to get everything done. That was his fastest time so far, but it still took quite a while. He was exhausted now! It was almost six thirty now, it would be time for dinner soon. He had better prepare it now so by seven it would be done. Where was Eddy to pick up his homework? Perhaps he got sidetracked with some shenanigans with his brother again. So typical.

Edd simply made mac and cheese for dinner, with a cup of fresh water. It was quiet, always was it quiet. But he enjoyed the quiet, it gave him time to think. And think he did; about his future, about Eddy and Kevin, and even about Ed and how he was faring. He missed Ed, even though he was dirty and illogical at times, but he was one of Edd's best friends and right now, he needed him.

After Edd finished his dinner, he washed and put away his dishes, retreating to his bedroom, where he changed into his bed clothes. He laid silently trying to fall asleep but he couldn't, not with all his thoughts running amuck like wild animals in a barn. No, he needed to talk to someone, to share his thoughts and problems with.

Ed. It was late but perhaps he was still awake. Ed had gotten his own cell phone the last time he had heard of him, so maybe he still has it on him. It was worth a shot.

It rang three...four times before someone finally answered. "This is Ed speaking, who am I talking to?"

To hear his voice again brought a wide smile to Edd's face. It had been too long. "Salutations, Ed, it is good to hear from you again. I'm sorry for calling so late, but I...I needed someone to talk to and you were the first to come to mind..." He heard Ed laugh on the other end and was a little confused.

"Oh, Ed, do not be silly! You can call any time you deem necessary! I am yours to command, brainiac maniac." Edd laughed at Ed's ridiculous nickname, though it was certainly better than Kevin's cronies and Eddy's nicknames for him.

"Well, I appreciate that, Ed, thank you for your kindness. Before I pile my troubles onto you, might I ask how you've been doing? It's been awhile since I've heard from you."

"Oh, Edd, I have the greatest news! My grandmother said that I shall return for the day of my birth to be at your side again!" Edd gasped and sat up to look at the calendar that sat near his bedside. Ed's birthday was in only a week! The thought of being reunited with him sent a shiver of excitement through Edd's body. But before he could respond, a thought popped into Edd's head; what about Eddy? Would he try to take advantage of Ed as well? Use him for his diabolical schemes and tricks? Call him rude names and mistreat him as Eddy had to himself? Maybe Ed coming wasn't such a great thing after all...

"Edd...I...I am overjoyed to be able to see you again..." Edd wasn't sure how to explain this. Last time Ed saw Eddy, he knew he was bad but he wasn't nearly as bad as he was now. How was he supposed to tell him his best friend...may not be his best friend anymore?

Ed finally said something, to which surprised Edd. "I sense some hesitation, Ed. Is it because of Eddy?" Edd almost smiled, if not for the worrisome topic. Ed was getting better at reading the mood, so much so that he could sense certain emotions through a person's tone of voice. Edd was proud of him. "Edd?"

Edd blinked out of his thoughts and sighed, looking down at the bed. "It is, Ed. He has gotten so much worse since when you left. He acts like Kevin's cronies, calling me names and causing trouble for other unsuspecting students. He sells drugs out of his locker, smokes and fills his body with chemicals and alcohol and it isn't good for him, Ed! Eddy is hurting himself, and hurting others and I don't know what to do... Oh heaven's, and I helped him! Kevin has no idea what Eddy has done, I don't either but yet I helped him..." Edd sighed again and curled up into a ball, now realizing just what he had done. Kevin probably has scholarships but if Eddy messes that up for him... Oh no...

"Edd, are you listening? This is not on you, my friend. Eddy has gotten himself into this mess and he can get himself out. If he needs our help, we will be there but until he is willing, all we can do is wait. As for me, I.. am not having any of that shit. Excuse my french." Edd's eyes grew wide. He had never heard Ed curse before, and it sounded strange coming from him. "I asked to have no classes with Eddy for he would just hold me back. My grandmother helped me out with that, because I am not good with asking properly for what I want. Do not worry, Brainiac Maniac, we will figure this all out."

Edd hadn't realized he started crying until he sniffled. Ed had really grown, speaking with such maturity aside from the profanity and understanding everything Edd was saying, not straying from the topic and even giving advice and trying to cheer him up! Well, Ed was always the type to cheer his friends up if they were down, but he had so much more of a sense of maturity to him now, Edd was so proud words could not describe.

"Ed, you're really a great friend. Thank you..." Edd felt better after hearing Ed's kind words. "I'm really excited to see you on your birthday. It is on a Friday, I believe so we can do something to celebrate." Edd grinned, feeling more excited than tired now. Before he knew it, he and Ed had talked for two more hours before Ed almost fallen asleep on Edd. Edd wished him a good night, and put his phone away.

Ed stayed awake for a little while longer, thinking on what the morning, the school day, would hold. He hoped he could make it through the day without Eddy causing trouble or Kevin breathing down his neck.

Edd blushed at the thought of him literally breathing down his neck, curling into a tight ball. No! He shouldn't be thinking such naughty things! Especially with Kevin! He didn't understand why he was even thinking such things... Kevin was a jock who hangs out with big, burly guys who could beat up a nerdy, dorky, dweeb like him in a matter of seconds. They weren't compatible, they would never happen. Did he want them to happen? Is that what these feelings were? Love? No, it was to soon to call it love, it was just a simple...crush. Yes, he was crushing on the hottest, toughest, coolest guy in the school; Kevin Dunbar.

Edd sighed, squeezing his eyes tightly. There was so much thinking to be done, Edd knew, but tonight he needed sleep. Tomorrow was going to be a long day and he needed to prepare. Soon, Edd fell into a deep sleep, his dreams twisting into terrible nightmares.


There ya go! I hope you like this, I hope it doesn't seemed rushed toward the end x(

I was looking some things up on Kevin, because I was looking for a last name but I couldn't find one so I used Dunbar. Anyway, I found out some interesting things :b
Also, Ed! He was kind of annoying sometimes in the show, but he was hilarious to me and I never disliked him x) I wanted to make him grow up and learn more, y'know? I hope he's not too... out of character or anything. I mean, he is going to be different, smarter, more mature but I hope it's not like 'oh that's nothing like Ed at all', he will still be silly and stuff. I hope that all makes sense e-e

/shrug/ I really hope you guys like it, I'm going to try and upload quicker, I think the next thing to update is... My new RusCan story! I think. Or AFOA, I don't remember. xD But update I will! So, see ya there, guis :3
