My Dearest Journal,

As if last week couldn't get any worse, it has done just that. Kevin unfortunately found my entry from two fridays ago, talking about my trip to Romania. Oh, journal! I am in distress. I knew in the back of my mind that I shouldn't have left it out while Kevin was over. And I promise you this! I was going to tell Kevin first thing after breakfast. I'd figure if I could sugar him up with breakfast, he wouldn't have been as angry as he was. But alas, my plans never seem to work. And it also seems Kevin and myself will be taking a break, he insisted until I arrive back home in seven months. I'm hopeful for at least spending one night with him before I depart. I can only dream, journal. But, now I'm only here for two more weeks. Will Kevin ever forgive me? What will happen during my departure? Will he find someone new that won't lie to him? I'm so worried…but what else can I do?

Până data viitoare, journal.

Eddward.

As another Monday rolled back around, Edd knew the last few weeks of school would be complete torture. Due to the fact that his nerves were setting in for his trip to Romania, and also because Kevin found out about the trip in the worst way possible. Edd knew he should've spoke up sooner about the trip, but every time he'd want to bring it up, his nervousness would kick in, and he wouldn't say anything. But during the week after Kevin finding out, he made it his mission to completely ignore Edd. He'd pass him in the hallway, not daring to make eye contact but Edd would stare him down. Kevin even shoved into Edd a few times, just to make a point. His teammates knew the two were together, so when they witnessed that, they were just as confused as anyone else.

Edd sighed as he made his way into the library for his free period. Normally, he'd finish any homework he had, but since the end of school for the seniors was nearing, he had absolutely zero homework to finish. So instead, Edd decided to work on learning Romanian. So far, he was succeeding at learning simple Romanian words that would be helpful during his time there. Like hello, which is bună! And Mă cheh-amă, which is "my name is."

Edd is a very bright kid, and he can easily pick up on learning, especially a new language. He found it intriguing, and very interesting to learn about another cultures way of life, and that was the main reason he wanted to travel to Romania. That being the main reason, the other reason is just simply he loved to travel. He nearly has his entire passport filled. He was excited to leave, and he only had to wait 25 days.

Edd was completely involved in his studying that he didn't even notice Nazz come in and sit right in front of him. She coughed a little to get Edd's attention, and he peeked over the top of his book. 'Great…' He thought.

"So the rumor was true?" She smirked, crossing her arms and legs. Edd sighed and set his book down. "You're seriously going to Romania? No wonder Kevin was so pissed." She smirked as Edd pinched the bridge of his nose.

"I understand that he is pissed at me, Nazz. He has every right to be because I neglected to tell him about my trip." Edd glanced down at his book, then back at Nazz. "What did he say to you?"

"That you were leaving for Romania. I honestly didn't believe him at first, but after seeing him slam his locker shut and shove people out of the way, I kind of had to believe it then." Nazz put a piece of gum into her mouth and began to chew. "How long have you been planning this?"

"Planning what? My trip?" Nazz nodded, attempting to blow a bubble with her gum. "I briefly visited Romania when I was younger, and I absolutely loved it. And since I was about 7, I've always wanted to go back. I'd ask my parents when I knew they'd be flying overseas if we could go to Romania, but they always said no to me. So when I was 13, I asked one final time and they gave in. They told me as a graduation present, they would let me go to Romania for around 3 months. Each year I asked if they would add a month on if I was 'good.' So now, I'm staying for around 7 months." Edd spoke with a smile on his face, but it soon faded as he saw Kevin pass through the library. Kevin locked eyes with Edd and began walking toward him and Nazz.

"Shit.." Edd mumbled as he began to pick up his books. Nazz turned around to see Kevin walking their way and she smirked.

"Hey Kev." Nazz greeted as she moved from her seat. "See ya after school." Kevin nodded at Nazz and she disappeared from the library, popping her gum as she disappeared. Kevin glanced at Edd and the book in his hand. He sighed and sat down.

"Can we talk?" He spoke with a little twist in his voice, like he was already pissed to talk to Edd.

"Not with that attitude you cannot." Edd sassed back at Kevin, crossing his arms. Kevin clenched his fists, but soon released them.

"Look, Edd. You know I have every right to be-"

"Pissed, yes I know." Kevin stared blankly at Edd, but shook it off.

"Yeah.. and I'm just really scared-"

"That I'll find someone else? While I'm in another country?" Edd scoffed, but Kevin's face grew red with anger.

"Can you stop fucking doing that Edd? God, you are unbelievable. I wanted to make the next two weeks that I have left with you actually count." Kevin slumped back in his chair, and Edd rolled his eyes. "Now what, you fucking sass?"

"You are acting as if I'm going to be permanently staying in Romania. It's quite ridiculous actually." Edd could see the heat rising through Kevin's face, so he reached his hand across the table to rest it on top of Kevin's. "Kevin, I'm only going to be gone until january." Kevin scoffed and moved his hand from underneath Edd's.

"Only?! Edd do you not understand how fucking hurt I am? How long have you been planning this trip?!" Edd sighed, because he just had to tell Nazz this.

"Since I was 7. My parents and I made it official that I was going when I turned 13." Kevin gritted his teeth together.

"So you knew before we even got together." Edd nodded, now feeling the hurt setting in. "You're an ass. Like… you just are!" Kevin stood up and sighed. "Look Edd, I really don't want you going to Romania and hating me for the next half a damn year."

"I'm not even going to try to correct that sentence." Kevin shook his head and took the seat next to his boyfriend. Kevin placed his hand on Edd's thigh, and Edd tensed up at Kevin's touch, but soon relaxed.

"I don't want you to do something in spite of me being a dick, Edd." He took Edd's hand in his and kissed it. "Promise me you won't let some foreign guy whoo is way into your pants?" Edd smacked Kevin and laughed.

"Kevin, you understand you're talking to me? The guy who is still nervous as hell to let you see him naked? Why on earth would I let someone else have sex with-"

"Okay okay!" Kevin chuckled, lacing his fingers with Edd's. Edd smiled and leaned forward to place a small kiss on Kevin's lips. Kevin smirked and stared into Edd's eyes. "Love you."

"And I love you. Now, let me study." Kevin groaned.

"What could you possibly be studying? Although I'm not surprised." Kevin grinned as Edd glared at him.

"Well, being the fact that I'm going to be in another country, I kind of need to know how to speak the language, Kevin." Kevin shook his head and sat back in the chair.

"You are so fucking sassy."

"Would you have it any other way?" Edd grinned as he opened his book. Kevin leaned forward and placed small kisses against Edd's neck and ear, whispering, "Of course not."

Edd grinned as he began to read more of his Romanian language book. Now that Kevin was finally on board, he could be more content while getting ready for his trip.

"Kevin?" Edd said, glancing over at Kevin.

"Hm?"

"Um.. will you help me pack my things this weekend? I understand if you don't want to I just thought maybe we could spend the weekend together and if you don't want to-" Kevin cut Edd's rambling off with a kiss on the lips.

"Shut up, you dork. Of course I'll help you." Edd smiled as the bell for the next period rang. "I'll see you after class babe." One more kiss, then the two departed for the next class. The entire class, Edd had a smile on his face.

The rest of the week went by smoothly for Edd. He aced one of his last tests, he worked things out with Kevin, and then he finally came clean to Ed and Eddy about his trip. Eddy begged Edd to let him come with him, and Edd declined, due to the fact he already booked a hotel for one. And he simply didn't want anyone to distract him on this trip because he wanted his complete focus on Romania, and thats it.

It was now Friday the 24th, and Kevin had promised Edd that he would spend the weekend with him. Edd waited for Kevin after school near his motorcycle. After a few minutes, Edd caught a glimpse of Kevin walking out of the school with a few of his teammates and with Nazz. Edd smiled as he leaned against Kevin's bike, and when Kevin noticed Edd, he smiled too. He greeted Edd with a quick kiss and snaked his arms around the smaller teens waist.

"You know how I feel about people leaning on my bike." Kevin teased.

"You know how I don't really care, Kevin." Edd smiled and turned around to get onto Kevin's bike. At first, Edd was absolutely terrified of the bike, even at slow speeds. But soon, Edd realized that he loved the thrill of going so incredibly fast. It was a slight adrenaline junkie, and Kevin could easily see that.

Edd put his helmet on and Kevin sat in front of him, putting his helmet on as well. Kevin revved up his bike, and soon they took off out of the parking lot. Kevin decided to take the long way back toward the cul-de-sac. The long way had an open road, and Kevin flew down it. Edd was smiling so much, he felt his face would break. Edd knew Kevin was completely focused on the road, so when they had to slow down to the speed of 25 through the cul-de-sac, Edd decided to make a bold move and palm Kevin through his jeans. It caught Kevin off guard and he swerved a little. Edd grinned and kept his hand there, occasionally moving it. He knew he was driving Kevin crazy, and he couldn't wait till they got home.

After a few minutes, Kevin pulled his bike into the garage of Edd's home. Edd closed the garage and headed inside, but within seconds of closing the door, Kevin jumped on him like a puma. They crashed their lips together, their kiss filled with hunger and desire. It had only been about a week since they last had sex, but for both of them it seemed like months.

Kevin picked up Edd, and immediately Edd wrapped his legs around the stronger boys waist. Between breathless kisses, Edd spoke softly. "Upstairs..go upstairs.." Kevin didn't have to think twice as he ran upstairs, still holding Edd against him. Edd giggled the entire way up and laughed even harder when Kevin tripped going into his room. They both fell on the bed and Kevin was now on top of Edd.

"I missed you so much, I don't know what I'm going to do while you're gone Dee…" Kevin leaned closer to Edd and planted soft kisses along Edd's neck.

"We will figure out something. When I get there, we'll figure out times for me to call you." Kevin kissed Edd once more, and let out a low growl.

"I meant sex Dee. I'm going to go crazy without your touch.." Edd bit his lip, watching Kevin's kisses trailing down his small frame. "I want to cherish every moment I have with you until you leave." He slowly unbuttoned Edd's jeans and grinned up at him.

"K-Kevin.. I'm only going to be gone for 7 damn months." He spoke, breathlessly. Kevin slowly pulled down Edd's jeans, digging his nails into his hips as he did so. By reaction, Edd arched his hips a little, helping Kevin remove the unwanted barrier.

"Only?! That's too long for me Dee…" Kevin kissed along Edd's waist, nipping around his boxers waistband.

"Kevin.. s-stop teasing." Edd grinned, making Kevin smile even more. As slowly as he could, Kevin carefully removed the boxers, letting Edd's length spring free. The sudden rush of cool air made Edd shiver, but he loved the feeling.

Edd loved the feeling, not only of pleasure from Kevin, but he loved the passion. Every time they would make love, it felt like the first time all over again for Edd. It would be absolutely wonderful because Kevin made everything perfect. That was until recently, where it seemed Kevin lost all passion and romance for Edd. Edd began to think back a few weeks when he and Kevin where in bed together, and Kevin immediately jumped into sex, without the foreplay Edd always recommended. It continued for days straight, and Edd felt completely used up and worthless, as he expressed in his journal. He couldn't get the image out of his head of Kevin on top of him, calling him very derogatory names.

Edd must've had a certain look on his face because Kevin abruptly stopped performing.

"Dee? You alright?" Kevin wiped the corner of his mouth and crawled up to lock eyes with him. Edd panicked for a moment, but he smiled.

"Yes, I'm fine. Why do you ask?" Kevin shook his head and wiped underneath Edd's eyes.

"Because you were just crying, Dee." Edd began to sit up and wipe his eyes. He felt the wetness of his face and the evidence was there, and also on the pillow. "Tell me what's wrong Dee." Kevin snaked his arms around the smaller boys waist, pulling him close against his chest. Edd hated when Kevin did this while he was upset, because Edd immediately began to cry.

"Kevin… I'm so terribly sorry that I didn't tell you about leaving. I…I was scared, and every time I'd try to talk about it, I'd freeze up and not say anything! I just..wish I had more of a backbone to tell you that I'm fucking leaving!" He blurted out, which kind of surprised Kevin. Edd hardly ever swore, and when he did, he never say "fuck."

"Edd, it's alright. I over reacted, and I understand how scared you were. Jesus, I was scared to tell you I was moving to another city for work." Kevin stroked Edd's hair and sighed. Edd sunk into Kevin's embrace, still sniffling.

"Can we spend the next two weeks together?" Edd said through sniffles.

"Yes, of course. Everyday. No if's, and's, or but's about it. Okay?" Edd nodded and nuzzled his face into the crook of Kevin's neck. Kevin slowly pulled Edd down to lay with him, and within minutes Edd was sound asleep. Kevin, on the other hand, couldn't fall asleep at all.
