Sorry for the long wait. I had to take care of People and stuff came up. Thak you to the nine reveiwers I love you all 3 enjoy hope it's good enough for you.
... Rev!edd belongs to Asphy their is some slight talk a out Rev!kevedd and rolfed ill probably won't go into much detail on it unless I make another story for them...
Ring….Ring….Ring….
Double D grabbed the phone on the third ring and held it near his ear, careful enough not to let it contact his face for fear of germs and other residue.
"Hello, Vincent house hold. To who am I speaking to?"
He could sense the smirk on the other line. "Salutations Junior."
Double D gasped. He leaped up to the kitchen counter as he replied with one of the biggest smile that showed all his pearly white teeth and gap. "Big brother Eddward! Greetings! How have you been?Has anything new and eventful happen to you?Have you won another championship?Or maybe you have called to finally tell me some outstanding and marvelous partner you have gotten?Oh you must be brimming with new events to tell after the last time we have conversed through the phone and I have so much I must tell you-" Double D cease speaking as he heard Eddward chuckle and he immediately turned red.
Putting one hand to the side so he could lean his weight on it he apologized. "F-forgive me Eddward, I've seem to be babbling again."
"It's alright Junior. I'm glad to hear that my calling instigates your babbling instead of having Awkward one-sided conversations with you." Edd laughed.
"I miss you older brother." It was the honest truth. It's been about seven years since the last time he saw his brother. Three months since he has spoken to him.
"I've miss you to Junior, things have just been…hectic around here but you must not fret yourself brother for I have a surprise for you."
Cyan eyes gleamed at that sound. "A surprise? For me?!"
"Yes."
"Big brother you shouldn't have."
"Now now Junior. I already shipped your surprise and will be getting home in about an hour. "
"Big Brother Eddward, you really shouldn't have send anything for me it's not even my birthday." A scoff was heard from the other line and Edd could imagine Eddward rolling his eyes at him. "An argumentation is not needed for I to send you something little brother , I just know that once you see the surprise you will be exquisitely over joyed by what it is."
"May I at least get a hint?" He inquired. Eddward let out a chuckle before speaking. "Lets just say that your surprise will make you very happy and our parents very angry."
"Oh?" Immediately after saying that he got off the kitchen counter in a hurry when he heard his front door slam open and Eddy screaming for him to get out. "What was that?!" Eddward demanded quickly wondering what was going on that startled his brother.
"O-oh it's..it's nothing just my friend. I'm terribly sorry but as much as I don't wish to I-"
"It's alright Junior, go and have fun with your pals for now. Just remember that my surprise should be getting their in one hour." He smiled."Alright I won't forget, I promise. Goodbye."
Eddward looked down at his phone as a grin plastered itself on his face. He put his phone back on his pocket and looked out of the window. 'Just one more hour and ill be seeing my brother soon.' He thought.
After hearing the devastating news(yet marvelous news for him) his parents had lashed out at anyone in the school to let him back in. Fortunately for him the Private School for Young Minds denied Eddward's parents wishes and send them off. They didn't understand what went wrong until they spoke with their own son. Happily, he told them what had happened and what he wanted….
"I saw someone get victimized by a bully while I was hall monitoring. The ape headed bully didn't cease his rough housing so I became quite agitated and showed him out the fourth floor window." Edd responded with a blank face as he sat in the Principals office. The principal stared at him as if he had just told her the truth about what the cafeteria lady uses as meat for sloppy joe Monday.
While his parents stared at him in pure shock. "C-come again?" His mother cleared her throat. "That was a very…peculiar story Eddward." The principal massaged her temples. "I assure you Mr. And Mrs. Vincent, Eddward is not lying."
"WHAT!?"
Unfortunately, the guy he threw out the window survived the fall by landing in a bush. At that time the schools gardener was trimming the bushes and just so happened to save the boys life. Also, since the boy was quite more frightened by Eddward than anything he didn't press any charges as he was wheeled into the hospital.
His parents couldn't decide if to praise their son for stopping a bully or be angry at the action that could have cost a life. After leaving the premises they decided to just stay angry at having to change their oldest son to a regular High school in his second year. This must be the most devastating thing to their son at the moment they thought.
Eddward let out a sigh he didn't knew he was holding. True to be told, he was over joyed to be out of that hell hole. Everyone, including his own teammates, annoyed him to no end. He did not spent years in that place to make bozos or snobs as his friends. Yes, he had a little group of dimwits who liked to follow him around and act like if they were top dogs around the school because they got a few words or sentences out of him. They were nothing to him, just migraines that wouldn't leave him alone unless he slammed the door in their faces.
Though,…their was one person he didn't dislike at all.
It was silly, a little crush (if you wanna call it that) he had on someone. Someone he would bump into now and then and sometimes, sometimes he had very interesting conversations with this certain person. Why, this certain person even had him, a self proclaimed Great White Shark, rolling over when no one was looking. It's funny yet embarrassing knowing that someone other than his brother could have such control over him.
Kevin.
That was his name. Kevin. A short ginger who loved robotics and could go days talking about it (he always listened). The same boy who came close enough to be able to call a friend. The same boy he had hurt a few days ago. The same boy who was getting picked on by that ape headed moron. If it was anyone else other than Kevin he wouldn't have cared.
At the thought of leaving Kevin behind had him hesitating getting in the vehicle. He had to remember about his brother and how he was alone at home right now. 'Besides' he told himself, 'theirs that blonde friend of his he seemed to be infatuated with and that boy with green hair.' He had subconsciously frowned.
Besides it was just a little crush nothing more.
To get his mind cleared, he called his brother. The little time he spoke to him were great. He seethed a little at having their conversation be interrupted by none other than his brothers friend.
"Was that your brother on the phone darling?" He blinked and turned his head to look at his mother. She was looking at him through the rear view mirror with curios green eyes.
"Yes." He responded turning away.
After his brother got hospitalize and both parents were phoned about their whereabouts, his mother has seemed to be more caring to the youngest of the two. Yes, she still held the oldest in a pedestal and wondered why her youngest couldn't achieve things like him, but she has tried to be more motherly towards him. This, at least, pleased Eddward. Unlike his father who could care less.
"Was everything alright? Did he tell you if he needs something?" He shook his head. It was enough of an answer to her and they rode in silence.
(Back in the Cul de sac.)
After hanging the phone Eddy came stomping in with an agitated face. "Come on sock head we got kids to scam and lots of cash to get." He nodded towards the phone. "Who were yah talkin' to?"
"Just someone dear to me Eddy." Edd said as he followed Eddy out the door.
The kids in cul de sac were all outside playing and chatting around in the sunny day of the last week of summer. They were trying to make every second count before school came back. They were all about to enter the first year of high school (all except for Jimmy, Johnny and Sarah) and only Edd was excited for another year of school.
As they stood outside, Edd trying to keep his excitement on the down low, they noticed Ed rolling around in the grass laughing. "Ed that is highly unsanitary and bad for my lawn. I just mowed it this morning." Double D scolded him. "Double D!" At the sound of the smartest Ed, the tallest of the three threw himself onto his pal. Eddy laughed at them as they hit the ground. "Come on lumpy let Double D breath or else he'll be flatter than usual."
"But Eddy, Double D loves my hugs!" Edd let out a choked breath as he tried-yet failed- to push Ed off. "I can't breath-Ed! Your extracting oxygen away from my lungs." After finally getting off Edd and apologizing, Ed showed Double D packets of balloons he had in his pockets of various colors. "Look what my mom bought me Double D! BALLOONS!"
Edd smiled. Ed's joy was very contagious.
"Yeah, lumpy here has been begging his mom to get them for him last night in the market. Now we can use them for my last scam." Eddy snickered as he rubbed his hands together.
Edd stared agape at his short friend. Certainly he heard wrong. Last scam?
"Eddy," Double D laid a hand on the grinning Eddy's shoulder giving him a teary look. "I can't believe you have finally outgrown scamming-"
"What? Psh no Sockhead! I mean for the summer yah brainiac." He shoved Edd away. Snatching the balloons away from Ed before he could play with them and ran back inside Edds house and straight into the kitchen knowing that his two pals will follow. "We'll be meeting new fools to scam on and more cash when school starts." He strapped a green balloon on the sink and filled it with water. "This is just a little thing compared to what I have in store for the first day." He gave them a devilish grin as he showed them the water balloon in his hand. Ed snickered and got closer to touch the balloon. "It's so pudgy Eddy." Eddy chuckled letting Ed get ahold of the balloon."That it is lumpy."
Double D on the other hand frowned. "I should have known it was too good to be true I suppose." He muttered under his breath. "So what is this scam you have for today Eddy?" He asked. One hand on his hip as he tried not to let the disappointment show in his face. He loved his friend dearly but he wished he will stop this childish scams. They weren't 8 or 9 anymore, they were 14 (or 15) already.
Eddy threw the bags to him as he spoke. "Something simple really. Will make water balloons and sell 'em for a quarter each. They will want to play and wet each other so much ill be loaded with quarters!" He exclaimed. Double D bit his lower lip. This seemed to easy and most likely to succeed, but he couldn't shake the thought that something might go wrong as usual. He shook his head. "Very well but you will not fill those balloons with water in my kitchen, please go outside and-"
"BAM!"
They both turned to look at Ed. Ed had gone quiet after having bursted the water balloon, he now had it covering his face. Taking ahold of it he gasped as he inspected the thing. "WHAT HAVE I DONE!?"
"M-my kitchen…" Edd muttered.
"I HAVE KILLED THE SQUISHY! IM A MONSTER!" Ed wailed.
"Um..Eddy, please make yourself useful and take Ed out to the backyard." Eddy didn't argue. He's known Edd long enough to know his OCD was about to take full control of him once they're out.(1) Taking a hold of Ed by the sleeve he took them both out and tried to explain everything to him while Edd looked at the mess.
Cleaning wasn't the difficult part for Edd, he was accustomed to doing it every day since he could remembered. No, the hard part was actually stopping. After mopping and wiping the kitchen he had planned to go out and see what mess his two pals had made for him but instead his brain kept tugging him onto going around checking that everything is perfect. He did not see Eddy run to his laundry room, he was too busy making sure he had done every single chore his mother and father left him.
As he got to the door he could hear giggling and laughter and splashing. Once out he noticed that Nazz, Sarah,Jimmy and Rolf were in the middle of a water balloon fight. "Ey Sock head get over here will yah!" Eddy yelled at him. Edd could see that this was actually working and for once the jar was somewhat full. Though that didn't mean he didn't feel petrified at what both his friends had with them in their stand.
"Are those my clean bed spreads and pillows?"He narrowed his eyes at Eddy who gave a nervous chuckle at being caught with them. Sitting on a pillow with about six other huge and small surrounding him and Ed who had made a very impressive blanket fort to protect them from the water balloons being thrown everywhere. Inside with them in the middle of both Eds were three big blue plastic laundry basket that were labeled 'Laundry'. "Uh yeah ummm about that.." Edd cocked his head to the side with hands on his hips waiting for an explanation. "Umm Well I couldn't just go to my house and get them cuz', yah know, my mom and ..stuff and Lumpy can't keep them clean enough and-OH!another customer!" Saved by the bell thought Eddy as he grinned towards the red head coming this way.
Edd turned almost having a heart attack at how close their 'customer' has gotten in his personal space without knowing. It was no other than Kevin who stepped back in embarrassment. "G-Good Lord Kevin! Why were you that close?" He questioned the red head. As much as he tried, Edd couldn't stop the blood raising to his cheeks. He silently told himself it was the heat.
Kevin on the other hand let out a small laugh, a hand on his pocket and the other one behind his cap fidgeting with it. "Ah well yah know man I wanted to see what the whole yap was about and then I thought ill come by and say sup to yah. So…" He looked at Edd in the eye and looked away. It wasn't as easy as he thought it will be confronting the Dork. " Sup?" He gave him a half awkward smile.
Double D giggled. Sometimes Kevin was cute when he was playing civil.
"Salutations to you too Kevin." He greeted back.
They both just look at each other fondly for what felt like forever until the mood was broken by none other than Eddy who forced his way in the middle of them both and put his loaded jar into Kevins chin(since you know, his short).
"'Ey, shovelchin! Glad you could make it to the fun. How about it, 25 cents for one balloon but if yah give me 5 buckaroos ill give you twenty balloons. What d'yah say?" Kevin glared at Eddy.
It has been two years since the last beat up and he will be damned if he didn't shoved his fist on the short Eds face for once. But then again, doing so will ruin his chance with Double D.
Many things have changed and after getting to know Edd after long tutoring sessions just to stay on the team he has learned more about the dork than he expected to. Like how Edd loved Panic theDisco and owned every album. How he loves collecting dead bugs like beetles and moths/butterfly. And how those eyes of his changed from one color to another in certain views and emotions, when he was sad they got dark and blue, when he was happy they will be gleaming and aqua. Just like right now. The boy he has been crushing out on seems to have a bounce in his step even when angered. He will need to ask him about that later.
"Get off my face dorko!" Kevin glared at Eddy and pushed him away. "I only came to talk to Double Dweeb here."
Eddy huffed annoyed. An idea came to mind and smirked. Putting one arm on Edd's shoulders watching as green eyes darted straight to the movement. "You wanna talk to Sockhead and I want this," he jiggled his jar," filled his quarters." Eddy kept smiling. It was no secret to Eddy about how Kevin felt for his smart friend. He didn't like the guy, not at all, but if he wanted a chance with one of the two boys he saw as a brother then he will give him hell and lots of it.
"What?" Kevin snapped. "Come on sock head lets not waste time with shovelchin here." Eddy started to walk back to the fort making sure to grab Edd and force him to move.
"W-wait Eddy!"
Their was a tug on his other wrist that ceased his movement. "Now wait just a fucking minute dork." Kevin growled out.
"Kevin please, language."
Eddy glared at him and pulled on the other wrist.
"Let Go.
Kevin gave another tug and his glare intensified. "I was talking to him first so Fuck Off."
"Well not anymore."
"Gentleman please desist pulling."
"Look here dork. I only came over to talk with him not to pick a fight."
"HA! better have not come here to fight or else I would pummel that chin of yours in."
"Oh really?"
Edd stood uncomfortably in the middle of their glaring contest.
"Oh dear."
He could already feel the bruising in his wrist.
As all this was going on Ed seemed to be cheering for his baby sister and Jimmy who were against Nazz and Rolf, Johnny had left to get his water guns. "Go baby sister!" He cheered. His sister only rolled her eyes at her brother but bit back her smile as she slingshot the balloon at Nazz. "Sarah we don't have any water balloons and I'm out of money."
"What?" She turned to look at Jimmy just in time for Rolf to hit her on the head. "HOHO! This is a very fun way of using balloons yes!" Sarah growled at him. "Hey time out we don't have any more balloons!" Nazz and Rolf walked towards them both as soaked as the others. "Yeah Rolf threw our last one to." Ed hearing this came with a solution.
"Here you go baby sister I have balloons for you and friends!" Ed picked up the blue laundry basket closest to him and ran to them. "Oh dude thanks but we don't have any more quarters." Nazz kindly said.
He set down the basket and smiled. "It's okay. FREE FOR EVERYONE!" He yelled so loud it got Eddy's attention. Everyone else cheered.
"Hey! Wait a minute Lumpy." He let go of Edd (Kevin smirked in triumph) and ran to were everyone was getting as many balloons they could grab in their hands. "You all have to pay me a quarter for those balloons." He demanded but instead got a face full of water from Sarah. "Put a sock in it loser." And they started their game again.
Eddy angered at this grabbed some from the other basket and aimed for her. Ed seeing how fun it was started to grab some for himself and through them aimlessly at everyone. One hitting Kevin who was trying to apologize for bruising Edd's wrist. "Who threw that!?"
Eddy laughed. "HA! Good one lumpy!"
"I like chickens Eddy."
"Chicken loving Ed boy, by my Nana's hairy back you will not get away with throwing Rolf Balloo-" Ed laughed once he hit Rolf with a water balloon in the face. "Rolf lets play together!" He shouted. Eddy who was distracted by both Rolf and Ed's strange antics shrieked at the feel of cold water hitting him on the back by none other than Johnny who had plank tied in his chest. "Take that Eddy!"
Kevin laughed as he watched Eddy try to dodge-yet fail- Johnny's attack. Edd stood behind him, keeping himself dry and clean behind Kevin or so he liked to make himself and the others believe. Truth be told he just wanted an excuse to touch Kevin's muscular back without looking like a creepster.
Edd took his precious, and careful, time consciously drawing circles with his fingers in the taller boys back. It was pure innocent and he really didnt think Kevin would even think anything about it. Boy was he wrong.
The red head was doing his very best not to turn around and swoop the ravened haired boy to a kiss and stealing him away from everyone. He quickly turned away from everyone as his little friend started to wake up. Thank heavens he was wearing baggy jeans today. "Come on Dweeb lets play or you wanna get away from this idiots?"
Edd blushed just thinking of being alone with Kevin. He looked down as he started to play with his fingers. A corner of Kevin's lip twitched upward at the shy gesture. "W-well I guess it wouldn't hurt to-"
"DOUBLE D LOOK OUT!"
Both turned at Ed's warning only to be blasted with cold water coming from a fire hydrant closes to them. They were soaking wet from head to toe. Eddy laughed as he held a wrench and so did Johnny next to him. "You two look like wet rats!"
"THE HELL! Dork I'm going to get you for this!" Kevin screamed.
"Lighten up will yah!"Eddy said as he took Johnny's water gun and sprayed him before running away towards the others.
"Why I atta.." He grumbled pushing his green sleeved up ready to kick their asses but was held back by a pale hand on his shoulder. He turned to look at a very agitated Double D. "Filthy filthy filthy." He muttered under his breath as he pushed Kevin with him back to the blanket fort were two other baskets laid full of balloons. "Kevin would you be kind enough to help me?" Edd asked. "Alright man but on what exactly?" He asked. Edd turned to look at him in the eye. His eyes were blue and dark. "Why were going to annihilate them of course." Kevin gave him a devilish grin. He was liking this plan. The red head agreed.
In a minute they had created a big slingshot with the blankets and two thick sticks that were used for the blanket fort. Double D put about as many water balloons in the middle of the sling shot and went to help Kevin with the pulling.
"This is gonna be so rad." Kevin snickered. He looked like a predator eyeing his prey that all stood in the middle of the road oblivious of what they were doing. "Alright lets start pulling, on my word we let go." They took six steps back pulling the protesting blankets with the water balloons as much as possible till Edd thought it worthy. "Alright now!" And they let go and watched as every one got smacked by a balloon.
They laughed and immediately were getting sprayed by water. Everyone laughed and ran around enjoying each others company as they wetted one another.
Soon enough Kevin had grabbed his front lawn hose and started to spray everyone. Taking steps back he did not notice Edd with a bucket of water. He jumped at the shock of having water hit him from behind. He turned to see a giggling Double D. He was fully red, hands holding on to his wet beanie and not covering his mouth as he usually did when he laughed showing off the gap. Kevin's heart stuttered and he let go of the hose not caring that he was wetting his favorite sneakers.
"K-Kevin! Let go of me this instant mister!" Edd shouted flustered at getting picked by the back of his knees. He looked down at Kevin, one hand on his shoulders and the other still on his hat. Kevin only smiled at him. "Whatcha gonna do about it?" He teased. Edd only huffed before squealing at having someone else pick him up from the back. Ed ran away with Edd thrown over his shoulders.
"I got him Eddy! I got Double D! Now Kevin won't eat his big brain!" Kevin groaned in annoyance. "Of-fucking-course." He instantly regretted just standing in the middle of a balloon fight as he was attacked by every side.
"Hey now that's not fair I'm not armed!" He yelled. "Yah snooze yah loose!" Sarah yelled aiming at him. He dodge. "Haha come on Kev, don't let Eddy get to you." Nazz said as she patted his wet back. She knew about how Kevin felt for the smart Ed. She always knew, just like Eddy.
The Eds were laughing and throwing water Balloons at one another while the rest played with each other. All was great and for once, no one saw the stranger walking on the sidewalk towards them.
Eddy aimed to hit Edd who dodged. He got ready to throw his own water balloon when he noticed both Ed and Eddy looking behind him. They were absolutely frozen in place as they stared with wide eyes and slacked jaws. "Double D has been cloned Eddy.." Ed whispered which brought Edd's attention and turned.
He couldn't believe it.
Standing only feet away from were the Ed's were located in the sidewalk close to his house was a stranger. A tall pale stranger that wore a black leather jacket on top of a dark red shirt and black skinny jeans with black combat boots. Holding on to a grey gym bag. What had Double D gasping in shock was not that the stranger looked like him but by what he held around his neck and on his head. A black beanie with two white striped hiding black lock of messy straight hair and two dog tags with the abbreviations 'M' and 'F' standing for Mother and Father.
The stranger had aqua eyes with bags under them that stared back at him with pure joy as he opened his mouth to show pearly white teeth and a gap, just like his, as he spoke.
"Greetings Junior."
Edd stared speechless.
Eddward. His Big brother Eddward. Was back home. His brother was home. His big brother Eddward was standing right in front of him.
His lower lip started trembling as he tried to say something, ANYTHING. Instead he started tearing up.
"B-big Brother!" He shouted and ran the short distance. The other teens stopped what they were doing and turned in shock. His brother put his gym bag down and walked only a few steps before he was wrapped in skinny paled arms and a sobbing little soaked brother.
He hugged back feeling like a father who left to fight in war coming back to his family. And that's what this all felt like. Being away from his brother who he had taken the full liberty of taking care of since a young age and then being ripped away from and just getting back felt like he had been fighting a war and surviving just to get back to this. He hugged him tighter not caring of how soak he was getting.
"Big brother big brother big brother!" They let go and Edd was giving him a wide gap tooth smile. "Your back! Oh dear, it is really you! "
"It's good to see you are fine Junior. I really missed you." he grabbed his brothers face and rubbed their noses together. Edd let out a laugh at this old gesture of theirs. It's been so long. They were really close brothers. This type of gesture were nothing but comfort to each other.
"The fuck is going on?"
