Chapter 4: Little by Little

When Double D awoke in the morning, he was usually the first one up, but when he reached over he didn't find any sort of skin like he expected. Sitting up quickly and adjusting his hat he left the bed and rubbed his eyes sleepily. "Sleepy, sleepy, sleepy." He cooed as he shuffled his feet across the floor. Perking up he could smell something cooking. "No way…" He said in disbelief. 'Kevin….cooking?' Edd couldn't help but laugh at the thought, but there he was, in an apron and some boxers cooking him pancakes it seems. "Goodmorning!" He chimed

Kevin's shoulders twitched in shock as he turned around and waved to Edd with bandaids all over his fingers and a plate full of dark brown, almost black pancakes. "Mornin'."

"Oh my!" Edd stepped into the kitchen to examine his fingers. "How long have you been up trying to make this breakfast?" He cocked an eyebrow and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"….About an hour or two."

"Did you at least take proper care of your fingers by applying aloe to the burn?"

"Applying what?"

Double D sighed because it was to be expected.

"How about a couple kisses for effort? Hmn?" Kevin begged in a cheeky tone.

"I don't see how mere kisses would do, but alright.." After giving Kevin some soft chase kisses, Double D saw the steaming out of the corner of his eye. Grinning he said "You might want to flip that…"

"Hmm?" Looking down he saw that the pancake was burning "Oh shit!" Kevin cursed as he quickly flipped it.

After "breakfast", which Edd ate every single bite he could fit, they both laid in bed watching Discovery Channel. With of course, Edd talking about everything he saw in a logical way.

"What a silly narrator! He said that lions could jump 36 feet! HA! Could you imagine? Lions leap, they do not jump." Edd corrected as he hugged on tighter to Kevin. He seemed to be getting used to this and especially his warmth whenever he laid his head against his hard sternum. Wrapping his legs in between Kevin's, he let the top of his thigh snug itself on the base of Kevin's….ahem. Even though Edd was completely unaware he was doing so.

Kevin coughed in reaction to it, but it sounded more like a choke of surprise. "Hey uh, Double D, not to ruin this or anything, but your thigh is kinda…"

"Hmm?" He looked up at him innocently before he glanced down at his thigh and gasped. "Good grief, my apologies!" Moving his legs closer to himself he slid away just a bit.

"No no, it's alright…I just didn't want to get one of those weird boners y'know?" Kevin laughed nervously.

Edd covered his face in embarrassment. "I did not mean to cause you discomfort!"

"Oh, trust me, it wasn't discomforting."

"Oh…" Edd pulled his hands down from his face and stared at them. " I didn't know I could give you that kind of pleasure….being a male and all."

"I didn't know ya' could either!" Kevin was obviously feeling shy about this as well, but he wasn't going to hide anything anymore. "To be honest, I'm a lot more happier around you than anyone else. I don't know why that is yet….but my heart sure as hell does, damn thing nearly beats outta my chest"

"Technically your heart can't beat out of your chest. That cartoon ploy is just a common misconception." Edd couldn't help but correct him.

Kevin laughed softly and leaned in closer. "That's another thing I like about you." Laying his forehead onto Double D's he sighed. "I don't know why I want you so bad, but I've been wanting to ask you something."

"Yes…?"

"Do you wanna go out?"

"Go out where?"

Kevin groaned and laid on his back while holding his hand to his forehead, sliding it down in impatience. "I mean to say…." With a blush he continued "Do you want to be my boyfriend?"

"I…." Edd covered his lips, thinking it through as he looked at the bed spread. "Could you give me a day or two?" He asked looking back up at Kevin's green eyes.

"I'll give you all the time you need…." Kevin smiled as he peered over at him.

"Thank you…" Double D stated softly as he scooted in and kissed Kevin at the nook of his ear.

It was Monday, for the past two days Edd has been ignore all calls and texts, feeling too embarrassed to think of an answer. On a good note, the water was finally fixed, but he's still home alone for a few more days. "It is quite lonely….maybe I should decide quickly so I don't have to stay in the house by myself anymore…." He muttered to himself before he reached his locker. Edd's heart immediately dropped when he saw the horrible word written all over his locker is red permanent ink.

'Fag'

It nearly made him want to drop all of his books to cry. 'How could they have find out?! It's only been four days!' Edd cried out in his head. Swallowing down the large lump in his throat that made him want to cry. Clearing his throat and opening his locker with ease he simply pulled out his cleaning products.

Kevin was irritated today. All those two days he was both worried and impatient. Finding Edd at he locker he stopped for a moment to watch what he was doing. "I didn't write anything…" He whispered to himself.

"Don't cry, just…..simply…breath. They're just words." He muttered to himself trying to stay positive about the situation. The red wasn't coming off as easily as the black.

Edd's bottom lip began to quiver and that's what set off Kevin into a frantic protective mode. Taking only a few long strides towards Edd's locker he took the bottle from him and stared at the sight, reading only that one hurtful word over and over; at least 30 times. "Dammit…" Kevin cursed as he looked over at the boys snickering across the hall. "Stay here." He ordered.

Edd felt compelled to stop him, but he knew he couldn't win against Kevin…especially if he was this aggravated.

"Hey, dipshits. Were you the one responsible for that?" Forcibly pointing back at the vandalized locker.

"So what if we were?" One of his track teammates questioned

"Which one of you assholes did it so I can beat the shit out of them?" Kevin hissed

"Damn, dude. You're protecting that fag? What? Is he your little bitch?" The same teammate offensively spoke

" YOU FUCKING PRICK!" Kevin swung and missed on the first shot and everything broke loose from there, there were highschoolers all around them yelling 'Fight fight fight!'

Double D was frightened and he has to do something otherwise Kevin would get hurt really bad. Pushing his way though the crown he was suddenly in the "ring" of swinging fists.

The teammate grinned at him with a blood dripping from his nose and went at Kevin to strike him once more before Edd stepped in the way and he could feel his eye already beginning to throb. "Tch…." He winced.

Kevin's mouth was full of blood, but for punching his crush, this dude was going down. "YOU MOTHERFUCKER!" With one final crushing blow to the face, the teammate was down on the ground out cold. Kevin shook his bruised knuckles and went to tend to Edd. "Are you alright?"

Edd nodded slowly as he held his hand to his swollen eye.

"That's a pretty good shiner…." Kevin joked.

"For someone who uses mostly their lower-body strength, he sure has a strong punch." Edd joked back.

Kevin could see the principle coming and he pushed both of them into the bathroom nearby. "If she finds us, it would get me kicked off all of my sports teams and it would go on your permanent record. So stay quiet." He put a finger to his busted lip.

After school, Kevin was walking Edd home. Turns out the teammate had to stay on the track team too so he said that he doesn't remember what happened. Most of the students knew to keep their mouths shut too, less they wanted to end up like Eddward.

"I'm sorry about your lip and your knuckles.." Edd frowned.

"Are you kiddin' me? That kid fucked up your cute face, if I ever get the chance again I'll beat the hell out of him." Kevin grouched as he stuck his hands in his jacket pockets.

"That's a bit extreme, Kevin. But I appreciate the gesture." Edd laughed through his nose before they arrived at his house. "Would you like to come in?"

Feeling a tad shy, Kevin nodded. He'd never been in Double D's house before….he was sure it was clean as hell. Upon entering, his initial judgement was correct. Everything was sparkling clean and nothing was out of place.

"Here, I will tend to your injuries." Edd brought out a first aid kit while Kevin was admiring his surroundings.

After they were all done with that, Kevin walked around in circles admiring the cleanliness. "Where's your room, dude?"

"This way!" Edd pulled Kevin along by his wrist towards his room. "Oh dear, one second. Don't move!" Edd walked down the hallway and disappeared into a room.

Kevin was rather confused before he looked down by Edd's door and saw a basket with bunny slippers in them. "Oh hell no…." He groaned.

"Here you can use my fathers since I only have one pair!" Edd smiled as he handed Kevin the rather unmanly slippers. Now that both of them were relieved of their dirty tennis shoes they could enter Edd's room.

Everything was labeled. Kevin was gawking at how much he liked everything organized. Hell if everything was like this in his room he could never find anything! Noticing the ant farm he leaned over and studied it. "Cool…" He muttered.

"Oh, I see you've spotted my collection of 463 beautiful ants! They truly are remarkable insects; did you know they can lift twenty times their body weight? So fascinating!" Edd rambled.

Kevin just smirked "So do you always label everything?"

"Hmn…I still have one thing left to label." Edd's smirk showed some kind of innuendo.

"Really? What else could you possibly need to label?" Kevin chuckled as he looked around for something that was missing one.

Meanwhile Double D was switching the letters on his labeler. Pulling the sticker out he pressed it onto Kevin's chest. "There."

'Boyfriend '

"What's this supposed to mean?" Kevin asked to make sure.

"It's the answer to your question…" Edd laughed sheepishly.

"You really are too fucking adorable." Pulling Edd in, he gave him a firm kiss.
