The day was Saturday and Edd woke up early, made his bed and cleaned up what little mess there was in his otherwise empty house. He knew if he left his house on of two things could happen: 1. He would catch up with Kevin and get to tease his favorite little nerd. Or 2. He ran into Eddy and had to deal with the relentless fuck whom had a growth spurt in the past two years. At the 50-50% risk, he chose to pull on his shoes and attempt to simply get to the trailer park and spend time with his best friend, Marie Kanker. Now, Marie was the only person he trusted to know about his ridiculous crush on the popular pretty boy and though she teased him for it, she kept it secret for him.
Letting out a sigh, Edd opened his front door and immediately bumped into the one guy he wished to avoid, "Ah! Grr…" he caught himself and straightened out his posture as he glared up at Eddy, "What do you want? Isn't bad enough your presence haunts me at school? Do you love to-" "Zip it, Sockhead." Edd recoiled as usual, feeling foolish for it but doing as Eddy told. He hated himself for unwillingly complying with the other and Eddy seemed amused every time he cut him off, "I gotta proposition for ya"
A proposition? More like a scam you're too lazy to draw up schematics for and build yourself. I cannot even fathom the utmost disdain you are inflicting on me with igniting this old and treacherous flame… "I want you to-" "No" Eddy took a turn of recoil and blinked, "Huh?" he asked, completely dumbfounded. Edd glared, "I have plans today, Edward. One of your tedious and evasive scams will not interfere. If you truly need ass-" "Who the FUCK said I wanted help with a scam?"
Wait, what? If it's not a scam, what would he want? Edd was puzzled and Eddy took advantage of the silence, "What I was gonna say was, 'I want you to go on a date with me this evening'..." Edd couldn't stop the blush that came across his cheeks and he pulled his hat over his eyes, tugging the hood of his jacket to shade his face. "A… what?" he asked and Eddy repeated, "A date, Double D." Edd stood there, frozen in place until the familiar tune of his phone going off brought him back to reality. Checking the ID, it was Marie. He sighed, "If I say yes will you go away?"
Eddy smirked and nodded and Edd sighed, "Then fine, text me the details. I need to go" he said and walked off, answering his phone. "Greetings Marie. Yes, my apologies, I am on my way. I had an… 'obstacle' at my doorstep. I'll explain everything when I get to your home. I'm walking, no car today. Alright, see you soon" Edd then hung up and left the cul-de-sac as he went towards the trailer park. He came up to the Kanker's trailer and Lee was sitting outside while May was reading a book, "Salutations Lee, May." he said and Lee waved, "Sup, D?" he said. (Note: Author's Lee Kanker muse is trans female to male) "Please refrain from using that abbreviation, Lee." he said and May chuckled, "You know him, Edd." she said and Edd rolled his eyes, knocking on the door.
Barely able to get one knock in, Marie flung the screen door open and dragged him inside the privacy of the trailer. She locked her siblings out and shoved Edd onto the couch, "Talk, now. I know what you mean EVERY TIME you say 'obstacle'." As always, Marie was concerned for him.
