Sorry for the first post of this chapter. I have no idea what happened.
Well this got way more interest than I thought that would! Thank you for all your nice replies and reviews. I would like to apologize for the mishap with Jonny and Jimmy. I will try to fix that soon. I have finals soon, and have no computer charge. So this chapter is short, and I don't particularly like it. But, I want to try and update at least once a week. So I'm trying. Again thank you! (:
Kevin stared at the small boy's frame in the huge bed, bandages wrapped around his head several times. The bandages where starting to tint; he had to change them soon.
Running his hand through his damp hair he frowned. Why does the dork seem to know me, but nobody else? Not even himself? He thought to himself.
He found it odd; he didn't understand why sock-head would remember him, especially since he was a bully to the small boy.
Yeah, he may have gone easy on Edd, and been polite and even nice at times. But, he still had bullied the kid, apparently to tears one time in freshman year.
After Kevin made Edd cried he avoided him at all costs. Seeing those big tears well up in the aqua eyes, black lashes fusing together with his chin trembling, his teeth biting his bottom lip hard. Seemingly enough to draw blood, if the red liquid spilling between the gap of his two front teeth was any clue.
That look of utter devastation and determination not to cry in front of him had gotten to Kevin. Kevin found himself wanting to hold the boy, and apologize and protect him from the world. In that moment, Kevin swore to stay away by any means necessary. He definitely was not getting in the middle of the mess he called 'feelings'. Especially when it was feelings for one of the Ed's.
Kevin came out of his thoughts as Eddy launched himself towards Edd again. Kevin caught him easily and threw him back into the dumb Ed's arms.
"Get the fuck out, dork." Kevin said flipping him off. A vein was throbbing on Eddy's temple, and his face was bright red, he looked as if he would blow steam out of his ears in a few moments.
"Why should I Shovel-Chin!" Eddy growled out, his dark brown eyes glaring daggers at Double- D and Kevin. Kevin scoffed and gestured toward the tired figure on the bed.
"Because he obviously doesn't know you, and you're scaring him." He stated plainly, getting somewhat of a malicious glee when Eddy seemed to frown.
Eddy flipped him off once, and with a "I'll be back Double- D." Grabbed Ed and stormed out of the crowded room.
Kevin looked back at Edd, he seemed like he was trembling, his eyes flitting around nervously as he grasped at the sheets. Kevin assumed the people in there staring at him were scaring him, even if he was familiar to them.
"Why don't you guys go head to 2nd period. I'll talk to him, see what he remembers and what he doesn't." Kevin said softly to the others. They all nodded and started filing out of the room. Turning away from the now shut door, Kevin looked at Edd curiously.
"So…. You remember me?"
How dare Double-D remember Shovel-Chin, but not me? His obvious best friend, what the actual fuck. Eddy was furious, he wanted to storm back in there and beat his friend to a pulp. 'Maybe the beating would knock some sense into him' He had said to himself as a way to justify his beating. He would get the job done, just had to wait until the little weasel was alone.
Edd sat in the bed warily, watching Kevin, as he thought of a way to explain his answer to him.
"I suppose in a way I do. I don't know you. But, I know you." Edd said with a small rueful smile.
"If you understand what I am trying to say."
Kevin just looked at him oddly and lifted up his finger, mouth open to say something. Before he closed his mouth and brought his finger down, choosing to shrug slightly to show his answer.
Edd sighed as he tried to think of a better way to explain it.
He watched Kevin as his head tried to form coherent words. Though he would probably never admit it aloud, he had to say Kevin was handsome… In a rugged way. White tee-shirt, dark tan with a light dusting of freckles. Wild 'just got out of bed' or 'sex hair' red locks, and heavily lashed dark green irises.
Edd personally thought them to be gorgeous, he bet if he were to get close there would be more detail in them, and he would be able to make them out as a more of a hazel color. But he didn't know, and he didn't know why he was thinking about that. He coughed loudly to try to clear his thoughts and tried to start over in explaining himself.
"It's like I know you, I know your name, I feel as if I can trust you, and that you'll protect me." Edd said slowly as if speaking to a child, he didn't want to confuse him.
"But, then again. I don't know you, I don't know what you're like, your life, your favorite things, your character traits nor your reputation. I just know you as Kevin."
I hope this one posts better. I'm halfway done with chapter 3, and that should be longer. Thank you for all the alerts, favorites, PMs, and reviews! They make my day.
Yup, really short. I just wanted to put something up before my computer dies and I'm MIA for however long. Hopefully not long. I didn't know people would like this so much, and it feels great to know people are liking my writing! So again thank you.
And criticism and suggestions are welcomed!
Have a good day/night,
Lyly
