The next morning, Edd awoke at exactly six o'clock to prepare for his day. No new sticky notes were posted on his door, which meant his parents never came home that night. He sighed, dragging himself to the bathroom. Cheer up Eddward, you have a rare opportunity to be with Kevin today. Don't start your day out with a negative spirit. His bathroom routine, along with his breakfast of half a grapefruit, a piece of toast, and a full glass of water was enough to set him at ease.
I'll have no trouble at Kevin's now. I don't understand why I was so afraid in the first place. He hummed happily to himself as he picked out his favorite record. He placed it in the stereo, and began what he liked to call his 'stimulation period'. Edd began stretching out his limbs with light stretches, doing a few puzzles to get his brain in motion, and completing a couple of scientific equations that he had been working on. Nothing better to start off the day than with a string of quantum mechanics equations!
A quick look at his wrist had him smiling. It was now ten minutes from ten, a perfect time to start his walk too Kevin's. He would arrive at his destination approximately five minutes before ten o'clock, which was the time Kevin previously stated as the time of arrival. He grabbed his coat from the rack labeled fall coats and walked out of his house.
Opposite of Edd's house, Kevin sat in his own home, watching the dork walk out and start his way over. He had been up since eight that morning, unable to really fall back asleep. His weekends were often reserved for sleeping in until the early afternoon, but the thought of the dork in his house set him on edge. He showered, picked away at his breakfast, and worked out a bit, before abandoning it all and instead choosing to sit in his front window and watch for him.
When Edd finally came up to the door, Kevin was in a fit. His hands grew clammy, and his mouth dried. Stupid dork isn't even in here yet, and I'm already a nervous wreck. He wiped his slick palms on his pants and proceeded to the door. Before the younger teen could even knock, the redhead opened the door.
"Salutations Kevin! Isn't it a fine fall day?" Edd smiled his gap toothed smile, causing Kevin to blush.
"Hey dork," he mumbled, ignoring his question and standing aside to allow the other boy in.
Edd's smile faltered as he stepped in. He removed his coat, then looked around, unsure of where to place it. Kevin grabbed it from his hands and threw it onto the couch. This made the raven haired teen cringe. He walked to the couch and grabbed his coat, folding it neatly before placing it back onto the arm of the couch.
"So, h, where shall I begin?"
"You could start with the upstairs. All the cleaning supplies is up in the upstairs hall closet. Feel free to use whatever you like."
Edd smiled at this and nodded before making his way upstairs. The older teen stayed downstairs, taking to the kitchen instead. Maybe I should make us lunch. He'll probably want to eat at some point. Plus, it'll make him stay longer.
It didn't take long for Kevin to scrounge up the ingredients to a pasta dish. He looked at the clock, noticing that an hour had already passed. Rolling up his sleeves, he started to cook.
Upstairs, Edd was just finishing the dusting in what seemed to be Kevin's parents room. His handiwork is impeccable, and deserved praise. He had already successfully cleaned and detailed every room in the upstairs. Well, every room except for Kevin's. He figured he would leave that room alone, considering Kevin was in the house and he felt he would be intrusive. Edd started his descent downstairs and was immediately met with a pungent smell. It seemed as if something was burning. He hurried downstairs and turned into the kitchen coming face to face with a distraught Kevin.
He was frantically fanning a pot of black and red bubbling mass. A pot of noodles lay turned over in the sink, al dente. Edd pieced it together and giggled to himself. Kevin tried to cook lunch for them, and seemed to have failed miserably. He walked further into the kitchen, alerting Kevin to his presence. His expression was one of annoyance. He shoved his hands into his pockets and clenched them into fists.
"I tried to make lunch. Thought you'd be hungry after cleaning and stuff. "
"I appreciate that Kevin, but you did not have to go through all that trouble just for me."
Kevin squinted at Edd and leaned forward. A bit of powder was left on his cheek, probably from cleaning the bathroom. The redhead pulled his hand from his pocket and wiped at his cheek. Edd stiffened under Kevin's touch, and watched with wary eyes as he continued to rub at the powder.
"Got it, " he whispered.
The cool composure that the young teen was so keen on keeping crumbled under Kevin's soft touch. His cheeks flushed, and his knee's began to wobble. This was not how he wanted the jock to see him. And with much left to clean, he didn't think he would last. Just as he was about to mention leaving, Kevin spoke up.
"I think the house looks good enough. I don't think you should have to clean the whole thing by yourself."
"B-but the garage. Is t still a mess?"
Kevin shrugged and walked over to the living room couch. He sat down, leaning against the arm.
"I'll just get our maid to come clean it."
Maid? Could he have not just called her in the first place instead of asking me to clean?
"Well, it seems that I'm no longer needed. I think now I'll take my leave."
"Wait! Dor-Edd, wait."
Kevin rushed forward grabbing Edd's wrist. The younger teen stopped, looking down at the redhead's hand. He looked back up at Kevin in confusion.
"Did you just call me…Edd?"
The jock let go of the other teen's wrist and rubbed the back of his neck.
"Well, yeah. That's your name."
Edd took a step towards Kevin, his fingers nervously picking at his cuticles. A habit he sworn he would cease after much hassle from his absent parents.
"You've never called me by my name, is what I mean. I find it odd that you're starting now."
Kevin stood there, hand still at his neck. He was at loss for words. This could make or break their relationship. He'd be damned to let it fall apart before it even started.
"Do you want to play a game?"
The smaller teen was baffled. A game? Is this a joke? He had places to be, and playing games really didn't seem to fit his schedule.
"We do not have time to play games Kevin. I have prior engagements that I need to at-"
"Just one game, then you're free to go!"
Kevin wasn't very good at begging, but Edd gave in anyway. He followed the redhead to the living room and hesitantly sat down on the couch. Kevin sat beside him, a little too close, Edd might add. His knee brushed against Edd's, sending a shiver down his spine. Get a hold of yourself Eddward.
"So, this game is about…secrets! You say a secret, then I share one of mine. And we keep going
'til we run out."
Smooth Kevin. Cause that's such a normal game people play.
"I hardly think this is a very popular game. It's prying on others privacy. How is this fun?"
And of course he's smart enough to notice that.
"Look dork, play the game, and you can leave."
"Looks like I'm 'dork' again," Edd replied rather dryly. He cleared his throat and pursed his lips, thinking of a secret to tell. A thought popped in his head, causing him to smile.
" I got it! Okay, prepare yourself Kevin. This is a big secret. I once wore my hate for Thursday…on a Wednesday."
Double D covered his mouth, holding the giggles in. Kevin just stared at him dumbfounded. He knew that in order for him to get what he wanted, he would need to lead Edd in the direction. Otherwise, he would receive more 'secrets' that he didn't care for.
"Yeah, haha. That's rad. Um, I smoke behind the bleachers after fifth period everyday."
Edd's nose scrunched up. He never pegged Kevin to be a smoker. And while the habit was disgusting, he did see some kind of appeal. Something to relax himself, that wasn't a crime. Though him being only seventeen was. He's probably quite attractive while smoking. Relaxed, a goofy smile on his lips. He shook the thought from his head. His feelings for Kevin were sure to be obvious. But when he looked up to see, Kevin was looking elsewhere. He cleared his throat, earning back his attention.
"I sometimes fantasize about being normal. Being rather intelligent has its pros and cons. I just want to know what it's like to be the same as everyone else."
This is certainly getting somewhere, he just needs to push him that final step.
"I'm a virgin."
"But you and Nazz…weren't you two, um, intimate?"
Kevin looked away, and shook his head. This could possibly be what gets him to say something big enough for me to reveal my feelings for him.
The younger teen hesitated, picking at his cuticles. He sighed heavily, looking Kevin dead on.
"It would seem that, I have taken an interest in boys."
This is exactly what he needed. Though he didn't expect that from the dork.
"You're gay then?" Play it cool Kevin.
Edd hesitated.
"P-precisely."
The redhead folded his hands behind his head and shrugged.
"You like dick, s'alright with me." You're doing great. Just wait for the right moment.
Edd flinched at Kevin's language, but warmed at the thought of him being so accepting. The jock glanced at the smaller boy, who was now blushing and twiddling his thumbs.
"Anything else you wanna say dork?"
Edd's eyes widened.
"K-Kevin. I already discussed with you one secret. And you have yet to do the same. Why should I reveal another when that was not part of our deal?"
Kevin chuckled. He clapped Edd on the back, leading him to almost fall on his face. He straightened himself up, turning squinted eyes to the jock.
"Alright dorky, just chill. How about you tell me one more, and then I'll tell you my biggest secret."
The smaller teen thought for a moment before nodding his head in agreement.
"Very well."
He took a deep breath and quickly began to reveal his other secret.
"I may have feelings towards another male, but refuse to actually say anything to them for risk of them not feeling the same."
Bingo.
He pulled his hat over his eyes, and awaited the ridicule. But of course, it never came. He looked up at Kevin only to see him in deep thought. His hand scratched the back of his neck, a sure sign that he was troubled.
Of course telling him that I like someone would throw him off. Good job Eddward. You were quite close to Kevin before you soiled it all.
A sigh escaped his lips, breaking Kevin out of his thoughts. He smirked at the raven haired teen, and even went as far as to wink. Edd's face grew red, and in turn was quickly hidden by his beanie.
"Choice man."
Edd was surprised. First he told him he was gay, then told him that he had feelings for another guy. Was this the same Kevin he knew back in his childhood?
"T-tell me your secret. A deal is a deal Kevin."
"Yeah, yeah. Chill Double Dork. I have to figure out how to say this."
Edd crossed his arms and looked expectantly at Kevin. The redhead was once again deep in thought. With his lips pursed and brow furrowed, he looked even more attractive. Which made it even worse for Edd. His discomfort grew until Kevin cleared his throat. The small teen looked up at Kevin, who now seemed to be closer than before.
"Kevin, what do you thin-"
"Shut it dork," he said before cupping Edd's face in his hands and pulling his mouth to his own. Shivers ran through the younger teen. Kevin was kissing him. And all he was doing was sitting there, eyes wide and stiff as Plank. The redhead pulled away, his hand instinctively rubbing the back of his neck.
"Sorry about that," he mumbled, "But that was my secret."
Edd still sat there, his eyes never leaving Kevin' jock scowled at the younger boy.
"You going to say something? Or just sit there with that…disappointed look on your face?"
Disa-disappointed? Kevin thought he was disappointed? He chuckled to himself, earning a cautious eye from Kevin.
"Look, that was my secret Double Dork. I did what you wanted."
Finally, Edd gained the courage to speak.
"So the secret was that you wanted to kiss me?"
"No you dweeb! The secret was that I lik-"
"Hey Sockhead! You in there?"
Both teens eyes shot to the door before looking at each other.
"Yes! Double D you there? Rolf let me pet his chicken!"
Kevin groaned, letting his head fall into his hands.
"Not those dorks. What do they want?"
Edd looked at the redhead and sighed.
"I promised them that I would spend the rest of the day at Eddy's. I didn't text them back, so I guess they came to look for me."
Kevin glanced up, his green eyes soft and pleading.
"Stay with me…Edd."
The redhead reached out and lightly grasped Edd's wrist. The small teen was surprised. He wasn't used to this Kevin. And the fact that he was acting this way with Edd must mean that his secret was true. He did like him. Even enough to kiss him. If only he could stay. They could explore their feelings further.
"I really must go, I don't want to upset my friends," he said quietly.
He lifted himself from the couch, and walked towards the exit. This time Kevin didn't stop him. He reached for the door, but didn't open it. Edd turned around to face Kevin, who's face said everything. He was hurt, and there wasn't much that he could do. Except for one thing.
"Kevin, I like you too."
With that, the younger teen opened the door, and quickly left with his friends. Kevin sat there by himself, which he didn't seem to mind so much now. A smile replaced the frown that had been there seconds before, and his heart beat rapidly in his chest. The dork likes me. And I kissed him. He laid himself out on the couch, noticing that Edd left his coat there. Grabbing it, he put his arms through the holes and breathed in the smaller teens scent. First thing's first though, he had to text Nazz. He untangled himself from Edd's coat and pulled out his phone. A text was already lit up on the screen.
[ Tonight. My house, ten o'clock. Don't be late. –Edd]
There's was no way Kevin was missing this chance. He hit the text and quickly typed out his reply.
[I'll be there dork.]
He hit send without hesitation, grinning to himself.
I got you Double Dork.
