I look forward to being able to update the rest of my fics and thanks for sticking with me this long.


Kevin sat on his front porch, his hood up and a Newport in his mouth. His red hat covering his eyes. His mom had woken him up at 8 in the morning to welcome Edds family back to the cul-de-sac. The news had spread throughout the entire neighborhood over night. Half the town must have known by now.

"Hows it going Kev?" Ed asked sitting down next to him. The red-head pulled his hat off to look at his friend and Ed could see in his eyes how bad he needed the cigarette, he refrained from asking Kevin to put it out and the red-head was grateful.

Kevin had been up all night, he was excited. His childhood crush was coming back to the cul-de-sac but no one else knew how he felt about Double D. So he didn't want to blow his cover.

"Pretty shitty, I couldn't sleep to save my life." Kevin said after a few minutes of silence that Ed had spent waiting for his friends reply.

"I couldn't sleep either. I was to excited about seeing Double D today." Ed said excitedly. Kevin felt the same way but wouldn't tell his large friend that.

That's when the long raven haired teen Eddy showed up, he and Kevin had stopped having problems with each other after Eddy stopped trying to scam the other kids out of their money.

"Yo." he said whipping his hair out his eyes.

"Eddy." Kevin and Ed said at the same time with a nod of their heads.

"Heard Double Ds coming back today." Eddy said.

"That seems to be the word around town." Kevin said taking a drag off his cigarette.

"I bet he is still the same as when he left." Eddy said with a small chuckle. "Mind if I bum one of those off you?" He asked referring to Kevins cigarette.

Kevin didn't reply but pulled out the one he was keeping behind his ear and handed it to the raven haired boy. Eddy thanked the red-head and took a seat next to Ed.

About an hour later the three where still sitting on Kevins porch but Nazz had joined them who had taken a seat on Eddys lap. Not long after that Jonny found his way over with a joint of the same stuff he had smoked Kevin up with the other day. Ed had stood up and taken a seat on the other side of Kevin to try to stay out of the rotation.

That was when they saw the moving truck pull up along with a Mercedes 65 AMG following it. Jonny quickly ditched the roach that had by then been smoked to a point.

Kevin and Ed both sat up in their chairs. Eddy had Nazz on his lap and didn't bother even trying. They watched as a large bearded man got out of the Mercedes, his shoulder length jet black hair tied back in a pony tail. They made the guess it was Double Ds father, who was shortly followed by a shorter woman with chestnut-brown hair. She resembles a mouse and was quite skinny.

Their jaws dropped when they saw Edd, at least they thought it was Edd, they didn't know who else it could be though. At first glance he could have been mistaken for a girl. His black skinny jeans hugged his hips and showed off a girlish butt. His trademark hat was nowhere to be seen and dark chestnut colored hair fell around his lower back. A black t shirt that was tight enough to show that he had gained a bit of muscle that was in no way manly, it seemed if anything to add even more effect to the androgynous look he portrayed so well.

Kevin looked at Eddy and both of their jaws where on the ground. They looked over at Ed but found he had already stood up and was half running over to Double D. Eddy picked up Nazz and slung her across his back so he was essentially giving her a piggy back ride, and Kevin jumped up and ran to catch up to his friend so he wouldn't make an ass of himself.

When they all got there Ed had already wrapped Double D up in a bear hug that was borderline murder. When Ed set him down Kevin took the time to looked the boy over more closely. He must have weighted only 110 pounds. He was only a few inches shorter than Kevin but still had half a foot on Eddy.

"It has been to long." Edd said after the large Ed put him down. He looked around at the group amassed around him and saw how much they had changed and smiled. He no longer had the gap in his teeth and his eyes lit up upon seeing Kevin. Those big deep blue eyes that Kevin had not gone a day in the last two and a half years without thinking about.

"So where's the hat?" Eddy asked putting Nazz down. Edd ran his fingers through his hair and laughed.

"I haven't worn that since I was in 10th grade." he said laughing. "In San Fransisco I kind of found myself." he said not really wanting to go into it just yet. "So whats been going on around here while we've been gone?" He finally asked.

"Well I joined the football team in 10th grade." Ed said proudly. "Me and Kevin have led the team to back to back state championships two years in a row. Undefeated." He added.

"Well me and Nazz started going out about a year ago." Eddy said his arm around the blonde haired girls waist. "I started playing drums about two years ago and me and a couple other guys from school started a band." he finished up.

"What about Rolf? Where's he at?" Edd asked skeptically.

"Rolf joined the military after he graduated. He wrote me a letter a few months ago. He couldn't tell me where he was, but he told me he was safe. Army Ranger man, big time stuff I guess." Kevin said. It was the first time he had spoken so far.

"And what about you Kevin what have you been up to?" Edd asked, he was thrilled to be talking to his childhood crush again, even if he did have to hide it.

"Nothing really." Kevin said rubbing the back of his head.

"Stop being so modest Kev." Ed said smacking his friend on the back. "Kevin is the starting Quarterback on the football team. Best in the whole state. Several colleges are looking at him already and he hasn't even graduated yet." Ed said proudly, even more so then when he was talking about himself.

"Thats great Kevin!" Edd said with a smile that seemed to melt Kevins icy exterior. He had tried to put up somewhat of a wall between himself and Edd but it was never able to stay up for very long.

Jonny was the first one to leave, shaking Edds hands and walking back over to his house and sitting on his porch. Eddy followed soon after giving Edd a friendly hug and then Nazz followed him over to his house. Which left Ed, Edd and Kevin.

"I get the feeling you two aren't as close as before." Edd said referring to Eddy. Ed sadly shook his head.

"After you left Eddy stopped coming outside, and he stopped talking to the rest of us. After he started that band though he would come out and talk to me, or Kevin or Nazz, and then he and Nazz started going out but we all thought she would end up with Kevin." Ed said putting his hand on Kevins shoulder. The red-head just shrugged.

"Was never all that interested in her anyway. No big deal." He said lightheartedly trying to show he really didn't have any hard feelings.

"We where going to hang out today, me and Kevin, Would you want to join us Double D?" Ed asked hopefully, "We'll be over at Kevins, after you're done unpacking your stuff you should come over." he finished.

"Would that be okay?" Edd asked looking at Kevin who found even if he didn't want him to he still wouldn't have been able to say no.

"Sure Double D. Just come on over when you're done. My moms gonna be gone all day so it's cool." Kevin said.

"Cool, I'll be over in about an hour or two then." Edd said with a smile. He gave both boys a hug and ran into the house.

Kevin stood there, his heart pounding a mile a minute his heart up in his throat. The guy he had a crush on since his childhood would be at his house. He and Ed walked slowly over to Kevins house and when they got inside Ed could tell something was wrong.

"I like Double D Ed." Kevin said slowly as he kicked his shoes off at the door. They sat down on the couch both dead silent, you could have heard a pin drop upstairs.

"Well what are you going to do?" Ed asked. Kevin looked at Ed and he could feel the confusion and exasperation pouring out of the red-head.

"I have no idea Ed." was all Kevin could say.
