Double D currently faced Kevin for a heart-stopping second time after they had established their project's topic. Jacky had been elated and began to rant on the benefits of team-work. Kevin completely ignored her and Double D tried to pay attention…for about five minutes. Kevin soon just got tired of listening to her even if she was super pretty, and grabbed Double D by the arm, jerking him back to their seats with an audible squeak from the less athletically-inclined boy.

As they sat down in the plastic chairs, Double D gingerly wiped his arm off, inwardly ranting about germs and what kind of things Kevin had touched that now went onto him! It was mutiny! Then Kevin was speaking again, Double D ready this time!

"Ok so-"

"Because this is a separate project outside of the home, you are going to have to collaborate and visit each other's houses! In class we will have lessons not related to the project, so good luck! Today is the only day to discuss it," she said with a half-hearted stern tone, smiling down at them all. Kevin glanced at Double D with a look that could kill, as if he was the source of the problem.

If Double D were the type, he was sure would have been saying fuck my life a couple times over.

So now they had to visit one another's house, something Double D had been hoping to avoid. He really wished that he could just do the project and Kevin would sit back, doing nothing, but Jacky had said they both had to present around half of the research and work. There was no way Kevin could do it without initially helping.

"It appears we must cooperate for this project," Double D said quite sadly, his tone defeated. Just to fuck with him a little bit Kevin reared up, glaring at him.

"You don't like hanging out with me?" he threatened, eyes like knives piercing into Double D's soul. He yelped and moved to the back of his chair, shaking a little bit now.

"T-That's not what I meant. Uh…my parents!" he burst out, coming up with an excuse. God he scared him! "They don't like others over because the house must always be c-clean. That's why we must do this at your house," he said, inwardly cringing. What if he took at as Double D demanding him or something? He would beat him up! That was all he could think about around Kevin it seemed.

Kevin gave him a scrutinizing glare, obviously trying to see if he was lying or it was true. Double D was a spazz all the time so one moment didn't differentiate from the next.

"Fine, fine!" Kevin said, letting it go for now. He had made him squeal enough already. He really, really didn't want to have the dweeb over at his house, but he needed a good grade. He was already failing this class he somehow got into because of last year.

The thing was last year he had gotten a nerd to do his homework the whole semester and so it made him seem like some sort of genius. Then they put him here. Halfway through the semester and after hours of night work he was still just about failing. Kevin was actually grateful to be with the nerd who could probably do this project in his sleep…with his hands tied behind him. He admired Double D for being such a smart guy, but he would never, ever admit it to his face. His reputation would be ruined if he admired a nerd! He sighed and ran his hands over his messy red locks after removing the cap for a little bit.

"I'll talk to my parents about it. They'll be fine if it's for school," he finished, putting his cap on backwards in the usual fashion. Double D gave him a weak-hearted smile.

"That will be just grand! Um, shall I come over tomorrow then?" he asked, his heart rate speeding at the thought of being in the bully's house, at the bully's whims. Sure, he had been there before but only for Ed and Eddy's ridiculous scams, and he usually threw them out halfway through…or beat them up.

Just then the bell rang for lunch and Double D jumped, getting a cackle from Kevin. "I'll tell you tomorrow Double Dork," he said with a grin, gathering his books up before going outside of the classroom, meeting up with Nazz of course.

Double D had only two people he needed to meet up with, and he let out a resigned sigh to his fate.

At the cafeteria he spied Ed and Eddy already sitting with their food, laughing uproariously. Ed had mashed potatoes on his face and Eddy was yelling at him about some scam he had in place. Double D gingerly slid inro a seat once he had his food as well, greeting them with a pleasant smile.

"Hello Eddy, Ed," he said in turn, picking up the plastic utensils used, wiping it off for good measure as well.

"Just in time sock-head! I have a plan! A brilliant scam to get the money right out from under these loser's noses," Eddy chimed in, jerking his thumb at the kids of the cul-de-sac around them. "If we get started today by tomorrow-"

"I can't do it tomorrow," Double D burst out, blushing at his own sudden outburst. He just really didn't want to do a scam, especially if he had to work with Kevin who could see him after he had been cheated of money. In response to his outburst Eddy narrowed his eyes, leaning in.

"Excuuuse me? Who do you have to hang out with instead of us?" Eddy inquired, sounding hurt and enraged by the thought. Double D managed a smile, playing with his food as he looked down. Certainly this would be like the time when Kevin asked for the time and Eddy accused him of being on his side…

"I'm doing a science project with Kevin," he said softly, Eddy rearing back.

"Science? You can blow that off, can't you? You could do that in your sleep," Eddy said dismissively, Ed perking up and inputting his own tad-bit.

"Science is like in my comic books; attack of the zombie!" he said, and gave them a goofy smile. Double D couldn't help but smile fondly back at him. Ah, Ed was so Ed-like.

"Yes Ed." He gave an apologetic look to Eddy, who looked sore.

"You'd better not betray us like last time!" he yelled, pointed savagely at him. Double D pursed his lips and held back a retort, wanting to say he had been wrongly accused. With that, the short lunch conversation was finished and they went to their separate classes.

The rest of the day, surprisingly, was quite uneventful. He went to class, did his work, and then went to his locker to go home. Woot for him. Once at his locker he pushed in his heap of books, rubbing his arms in pain from holding them all up. "Curse my weak muscle capacity," he said to himself, rubbing the sore things. He let out a sigh and began piling what he was to take him. That is, until a hand was pressed against his locker door, effectively slamming it closed and scaring the living daylights out of him.

Double D turned to give whoever it was a piece of his mind, when he realized it was Kevin. He blinked and took a nervous step back, suddenly unsure. "K-Kevin, what do you want?" he asked, holding his book bag to his chest.

"Just came to say see you tomorrow," he said with a teasing smirk, mock saluting him before he took off with his other jock buddies, leaving Double D a little bit surprised, and winded. He shakily got his things and walked quickly out towards his home, dreading what tomorrow would bring.

It was a new morning, and Double D was once more walking to school. As it was so, he was accompanied by his two best friends(if one could call them that), laughing and bouncing about in the early hours. Double D smiled at the familiarity, wishing it could last forever. Today he was wearing a brown sweater that complimented his feminine frame nicely, and snug jeans. Lately he had actually gotten a pretty good sense of style after reading his mother's fashion magazines. It was astounding what a simple change of style did! People stopped beating him up(besides Kevin) and he actually got compliments from time to time. One thing that would never change though was his hat. Under it he hid his most prized possession; his hair*.

"Hey, what are you smiling about Sock-head?" Eddy demanded, his hands jammed deep into the pockets of his outfit. Double D shook his head, watching Ed roll in the grass, eating a couple pieces.

"Just reveling in our friendship!" he said with a big smile. At these times he didn't mind their company all that much. Eddy gave him a weird look and punched his shoulder, making Double D wince.

"You're such a nerd. Come on!" he yelled at head, moving his direct attention. Double D could only smile as the cool fall air caressed his body. He sure did love fall! The falling leaves, the brilliant colors, and the way science played a big part in nature. He loved studying all the habits and things about fall, everything that made it what it was.

On that thought, he spied a small leaf on the steps and let Ed and Eddy jump ahead, stopping by the school doors to bend down and examine a multi-colored leaf. He was so into it, when he was suddenly slapped on his rump, he shot up with an audible yelp, his hat going askew. "E-Excuse me?" he said, quite ruffled from the action. Did someone think he was a woman? He turned to find none other than Kevin, with his hands in his pockets, looking completely innocent of the action.

"Mornin' Double Dork. I asked my parents. They said ok," he said, making the motion with his fingers. He tipped his hat and then was off into the school with Nazz, leaving Double D standing there, flustered and confused. Kevin was truly an enigma.

The first part of the day was a blur, all just leading up to the class that would be with Kevin. He could barely pay attention for an off reason; everything Kevin had done making him all the more confused. One second he was bullying him, and then the next he was being…nice-ish? He laid his head on his desk, dispelling those thoughts for now because; well they simply began to give him a headache.

Double D was careful when going into APES, making sure that he was quiet as a mouse when getting into his seat. Kevin came just before the bell with Nazz, the beautiful girl practically clinging to him. He observed this without much though; the two of them were the perfect couple. Everyone knew it was going to happen sooner of later, it was only a matter of time. He looked away when Kevin sat down, waiting for him to say something, but he was silent and merely paid attention to whatever their teacher was saying. Double D let out a relieved breath and focused on the lesson.

Throughout the whole thing a word had not been said between Kevin and Double D, which was just fine with him, though he had a couple of questions. One being, when should he come over? Should he bring supplies? Would he be staying late enough for dinner? Despite all that, he couldn't make himself break the silence between them, hanging like a cloud. Once again, Kevin was truly and enigma.

After class he went to his locker, as per usual, and grabbed his books for the day. Despite their project he had to finish a three page lab report on the lab they had done that day, bringing him about an hour's worth of excitement before it would be done. He didn't pass by Kevin, coincidentally, and now he felt like he should find him to make certain of their meeting. He was coming over, correct?

He walked around the school; long after it was over and done with, searching for him. He didn't have to search too long, for he found him by the locker rooms, freshly showered after his last class which happened to be PE. His hair was dripping and trailing down his neck, disappearing under his green sweater. Double D found himself staring, for he was so well built! His body was perfectly toned, the faint outline of a six-pack coming through his shirt.

"Double D?" Kevin said, suddenly noticing him as he threw his book bag over his shoulder. Double D jumped at being caught staring, his eyes flickering to his face, framed by his dripping red locks.

"I-I came to make sure that today was the day I arrived at your home," he replied, smiling quite nervously. Kevin nodded, the look in his face telling him he must have forgotten.

"Yeah, let's go," he said, taking off in the opposite direction Double D had been heading. Oh…well alright then! He followed him quickly, his shorter legs making him have to run a couple times to keep up with that long stride. He did find a pace that worked; stretching his legs quite far as he walked beside him. It was once again, silent. The silence was kind of uncomfortable, since Double D was heading to his bully's house. At least they lived near each other!

The walk was short, and soon they were already at Kevin's house before they knew it! Kevin huffed and opened the door, as if he was about to face a beast in a cave. As they walked in the smell of cooking food assaulted Double D's nose. He sniffed the air, smelling…meatloaf?

Kevin's father lumbered in, a huge man who looked like he could kill Double D with one of his hands. He gulped and tried not to move when he came over, patting his son hard on the back. "Welcome home son!" he bellowed, laughing. A woman appeared from the kitchen, much more petite and beautiful.

"Oh you must be his friend he told us about. You two can go and work in the living room or Kevin's room. I'm preparing this long dinner early," she said kindly, a big smile on her face. She had laugh lines and wrinkles on her forehead, but she looked pretty happy throughout the whole ordeal.

"Heard you're real smart! Help our son keep up the good grades," his father laughed. Double D flushed at the attention and nodded, quickly leaving the two with Kevin. Said boy seemed embarrassed, rubbing the back of his head.

"Sorry about them. They're excited," he said a bit begrudgingly. Double D shook his head, quite envious. If his parents had acted like that, he would have been in heaven.

He sighed lightly and followed Kevin into his room with a nervous gulp.

Woot I would call this a cliffhanger perhaps? Well anywho~ please review and all that jazz~

I want all your comments, concerns, and flames ;A; constructive ones please!

I don't want something like: 'You're such a homo-lover this is gross!' or something -A-

*What do you think his hair should look like under his hat for a possible future chapter? I think I'll have it black('cause I know some people say it's blonde), but I'm open for ideas!

I won't have beautiful long locks down to his waist or something either because I hate really feminine characters oAo

Sorry if you wanted a super girly Double D. Ehehe, I realize he can be skittish and kinda weak and stutter-y, but it's Double D XD
