"Edd?!" Kevin caught him from falling on the ground and hurting himself. He tried to wake him up but the dork was out. "Shit..."
"What did you do, Kevin?!" Nazz screeched from the doorway.
"Dude! Nothing!"
"Right, cuz Double D just randomly passes out!"
"He asked me if I found him attractive and I kissed him. I fail to see how this is my fault!" Kevin pouted.
"Oh my god, Kevin! Seriously?! Why would you do that?!" Nazz groaned
"Cuz I thought it would be sweet and a bit romantic!"
Nazz rolled her eyes "Just get him to the nurses office... I'll gather you guys' stuff and meet you there" she chuckled lightly.
"Thanks Nazz" Kevin chuckled. Holding Edd bridal style was easy, he fit so well against Kevin and he loved it. With Edd's face resting on his shoulder, his light breath on his neck, he entered the nurse's office and handed him over, stating he just passed out when they were eating lunch.
"This is the last number we have on record for his parents but it doesn't seem to be in service anymore. Would you happen to know how to get in contact with them?" The nurse looks up from her sheet and gives Kevin a concerned look.
"No, they're hardly around as is. Can you call my Mom? I can take him home and make sure he's okay and stuff?"
"It's against school policy to allow anyone but emergency contacts to make decisions as to the well-being of a student. He'll have to remain here until he wakes up or we get in touch with his parents."
"Well, you'll be waiting forever for his parents." Kevin rubbed the pale hand under his own tanned one. He wasn't leaving until he felt Edd was awake enough and if he needed anything, it would be available to him.
"You need to get back to class. He'll be alright here. He should be awake in no time" the nurse says passive aggressively.
"I'd rather wait. Thanks" Kevin snipped shortly.
The nurse sees that Kevin won't budge and decides to just let him do whatever the hell he wanted to. They weren't paying her enough to argue with a hardheaded teenager. "Fine. If you're going to stay, you must remain in here. No wandering the halls or doing anything mischievous" she says sternly before walking away. A few quiet minutes pass before Edd stirs in his sleep. "Kevin...?"
"Hey, ya gave me a scare... Ya need anything?"
Edd's head rolls towards the sound of the familiar voice. "Kevin? N-no, I'm fine" he groggily sits up and holds his head in his hand.
"Take it easy, Edd. The nurse couldn't get ahold of your parents, I don't know if she would still need to or anything. You know how this shitty nurse is..." Kevin growled out.
"Language Kevin..." Edd gently chides. "They...have a new number" he says sadly.
Sensing something isn't right, Kevin tries to calm the boy. "It's probably okay now. Since you're awake and all. I can take you home if you want. There's only one more class period left but you need to rest."
Edd frowns at the thought of his perfect attendance being ruined but decides to go ahead and skip his last period so that he can go home and think things over. He gives a slight nod and steadied himself on the bed before trying to climb down. "I think I can walk home just fine. You should go ahead and go to Calculus, you shouldn't miss a day in there."
"You sure? I want to make sure you're ok... And Nazz will have my head on a steak if I don't and something else happens to you. I can always give you a ride back home."
"A r-ride?! On t-that d-death trap?! You really ARE trying to kill me!" Edd says with a pale face.
"Nahhh, I haven't died and neither has Nazz. The only one I would try to kill on it would be Nat probably" Kevin grinned and laughed.
Edd's face turns sheet white at the thought of the carnage and mayhem that would be brought on by a simple bump from a car or truck. He sighs as he decides that this may be the only way to get back into Kevin's good graces. "Alright..." he whispers softly.
"Choice! Let me get Calc. out of the way and we'll head out. Nazz brought your lunch up for me. I ate the rest of mine, which was delicious by the way." Kevin smiled "I'll be back in about an hour!" he said before walking out the door. Edd sighs and pouts for the better part of an hour over his ruined attendance record. He gives Kevin a puppy dog look as he walks back into the office, putting away the small amount of homework that has accrued over the morning classes.
"What's with that super adorable face?"
"My attendance is ruined…" Edd pouted.
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to make you pass out" Kevin rubbed the back of his neck with a wry chuckle.
"It's alright... It's all my fault. I shouldn't have overreacted..."
"I shouldn't have kissed you so suddenly... It was the only thing I could think of that wouldn't leave any doubt in your mind."
Edd face heats up at the memory of Kevin's lips on his. "S-so you do like me?" he whispers shyly.
"Well I certainly don't go around kissing people I don't like" Kevin smiled. "You want me to show you again? Will you pass out again?"
"Ut-tuh-uh!" Edd blushes even harder. "Um...can we go somewhere more...private to discuss all of this?"
Kevin chuckles "Come on, let's go" and holds his hand out to help Edd down. Edd cautiously takes it and climbs down. He shyly stands a few feet away and walks out of the room. "Where are we going?"
"Where ever you feel more comfortable. My place, your place, the park, street corner, where ever" Kevin offered with a shrug.
"Um, my house is more private" Edd suggested.
"Alright, come on. I even got a spare helmet that will fit you." Kevin held the door open for him and followed Edd out. He hoped that this would go as well as he hoped. Edd nods and carefully pulls the helmet over his beanie. He wraps his arms around Kevin and holds on for dear life as the motorcycle roars to life.
Kevin reached down and tapped Edd's hands "Calm down and hold on, lean when I lean." Kevin kicked off the ground and rode out on to the street. He loved the feeling of the little dork's hold on him and his warmth on his back. Edd relaxes a bit but still clings on tightly. He gives a startled yelp as they begin to lean and change lanes. He silently prays that they arrive to his house quickly and in one piece.
Kevin gets to Edd's house as quickly as possible and parks the bike and dismounts. He helps Edd off takes the helmet before following him into the house and kicking off his shoes by the door.
"So, where do we go from here?" Edd asks timidly.
"I'm leaving that up to you. I'm interested in you, Edd. I think I've made that crystal clear but I'm not gonna push you into anything that you aren't ready for."
"I'm interested in you, too. It's just I-I don't know what to do" Edd admits.
"What do you THINK you should do? What do you feel comfortable with?"
"I- I want to give you a chance. Correction...give us a chance. Admittedly, I've liked you for a while now."
"Choice! You've made my day... Hell, your made my week! We'll go at your pace. Don't worry, I won't force you to do anything" Kevin excitedly rattled off.
"Does that mean we're a...c-couple?" Edd asks innocently. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that he'd ever get a chance with the sexiest boy in school. He looks away shyly and blushes a little.
Kevin shrugs "If that's what you want... We're going at your pace here so I am waiting on you."
"Uh-y-yeah... That's what i want..." Edd fidgets nervously before looking up at Kevin with innocent blue eyes. "Kevin? Can we um… t-try that kiss again?" he asks, blushing profusely.
Kevin smiles "Absolutely" and he scoots closer. Edd backs up until he hits the arm of the couch. He wanted the kiss so badly but he didn't want to disappoint Kevin by not knowing how to kiss.
"It's okay, Edd. If you don't want to, you don't have to. I would love to kiss you again but don't do it for me."
Edd shakes his head. "It's not that. I just... don't know how..."
"Do you want me to show you again or do you wanna wait? I would settle for cuddling...?" Kevin suggested, he wanted to kiss Edd again but forcing it would just push the genius further and further away.
"Um...cuddle. I-if that's okay with you" Edd says shyly. "I have a couple of DVDs that we can watch. They're documentaries though..."
Kevin sits on the couch with his arm on the back, welcoming Edd in. "That's okay, contrary to popular belief I actually DO enjoy learning." Edd giggles as he pops the DVD in and hits play before sitting down next to Kevin. He awkwardly scoots closer but remains at a 90-degree angle.
Kevin grins before getting an idea. He brings his arm back down between himself and Edd and continues to watch the movie. Every once in a while, his hand would scoot over and touch Edd's lightly. Halfway through the movie, Edd summons up enough courage to grab ahold of Kevin's hand. He keeps his eyes glued to the screen as his face begins to heat up but his grip firm. Kevin was pleasantly surprised but takes it all in stride. He already thinks that Edd is adorable and all of this is just one more reason why he thinks that. He gently squeezes Edd's hand back as Edd leans his head onto Kevin's shoulder and tries to steady his shaking nerves. Eventually, Kevin let go of Edd's hand and wraps his arm around his shaking shoulders, leaning them back further into the couch cushions.
Edd looks up at Kevin and comes face to face with emerald green eyes. "Kevin?"
"Hmm?" he gazed into pale blue eyes.
Edd leans in closer and nervously bites his bottom lip. Kevin took a chance and lightly kissed Edd's forehead, breathing in the blueberry and vanilla scent that he was slowly beginning to get attatched to. Edd sighs softly at the feel of the gentle lips on his skin. Before thinking, he grabs Kevin's shirt and pulls him in for a closed mouth kiss before letting him go.
"I think you're a great kisser" Kevin cooed in Edd's ear, watching in amusement when Edd's ears and cheeks blush red.
"U-uh! T-thanks, I g-guess..." he turns his reddened face away and mumbles softly. "Maybe you can teach me more, m-maybe one more kiss wouldn't hurt? W-will you show me?"
Without giving an answer, Kevin tilted Edd's chin and slowly and sweetly connected their lips. They stayed connected for a few seconds before Kevin pulled away. "I think that's good for now. I would love to show you so much more but let's take it slow. I don't wanna scare you."
Edd's heart pounds wildly in his chest. He tries to speak but only manages broken syllables. It takes everything in his power to not pass out for the second time in a day as he looks into Kevin's eyes. He grips onto Kevin's shirt for security as his mind races for something to say or do.
"Breathe, babe..." Kevin whispered with a smirk.
"B-b-babe?!" Edd squeaked.
"Babe... You're mine now. Get used to it" Kevin smiled.
"Y-yours? So that means...you're mine?" Edd asks timidly.
"Exactly!"
"I-...um...would you like dinner then... Love?" Edd says as he blushes at the pet name.
"Ohhh, I like that. Yes, I would like some dinner."
"Great! I think I have something in mind that you're gonna really like!" Edd beams a gap-toothed grin before crawling off of the couch. "It'll be ready in about ten minutes!"
"I can't wait, babe" Kevin smiled as he watched his dork bounce into the kitchen, pulling out his phone and texting his mother to cover for him with his father. She sent back a smiling face and told him to be home before curfew.
"It's ready Kevin!" Edd calls from the kitchen. He sets everything up then pushes their chairs next to each other. Kevin jumps up and moves quickly to the kitchen. When he entered, he saw his adorable boyfriend setting the table and putting food out. Made Kevin fall a little bit more for him. Edd turns around and smiles softly at his new boyfriend. "Have a seat! I made a little thing I call 'The Sandwich'. It usually takes me a day or two to finish the whole thing, but I figured an athlete such as yourself can eat it whole." He takes a seat next to Kevin's chair and motions him to come over. "I have some chips here, as well, if you would like some."
"I can put away a lot of food, especially at dinner time! You sure you can feed me all I need?" Kevin grins before sitting down.
"You're more than welcome to have the rest of mine! I know for a fact that I won't be able to finish it." Edd returns the grin as he playfully shoves a chip into Kevin's mouth.
"Taste even better now" Kevin playfully flirted.
Edd's grin widens and a tiny giggle escapes his lips. "Would you like me to feed you?"
Kevin was ecstatic that Edd was loosening up and being more of his adorable self. "Absolutely" he leaned forward and opened his mouth.
Edd's smile lights up the entire room as he placed another chip in Kevin's mouth. He feeds him a few more chips before gently wrapping an arm around Kevin's bicep and happily munching on a few chips of his own. "I'll admit, this is the happiest I've ever been in this house..."
"You have made me pretty damn happy too, Edd. I've never felt this way about anyone. I mean that."
"R-really? Even happier than Nazz? You two were supposed to be in love for years."
"Love like a brother-sister... After we got together, it was more just like best friends so we broke it off quietly and continued being friends."
"Ah...I see... So, I'm your first?" Edd blushes at his question and quickly tries to backtrack. "I-I-I mean...f-first real c-crush!"
"Technically, I guess so" Kevin shrugged.
Edd's heart drops a little but he tries not to show it. "Y-you're my first real crush and kiss..." his face turns darker at his confession.
"You're my first boyfriend, the first person that I really, truly care about."
"As long as you're only mine." Edd giggles. He nuzzles his face into Kevin's arm and sighs happily. He knew that it was completely unlike him to express such strong feelings in such a short amount of time, but he had a feeling that Kevin was THE one. The one he wanted to spend forever with. The one he wanted to wake up next to every morning. The one he wanted to cook for and laugh with every single day. And above all, Kevin was the one he wanted to fill the void in his heart that he'd hidden away for so long. He squeezes his arm a little as he breathes in his soothing cologne. "Would you like to watch something else or would you rather go home?"
"I wanna spend as much time with you as possible" Kevin nuzzled Edd's hat.
Edd blushes even harder and holds onto his hat. "I want that as well. I don't think I've ever been as fond of someone as I am with you Kevin."
"Me too." Kevin got a bit of a sinking feeling "what about school tomorrow?"
"What about it?" Edd asks not realizing that their relationship might result in beatings and hate not only for him, but for Kevin too.
"I don't wanna hide you but are you ready for this?"
"I-I didn't think about that... I suppose I am. It'll be hard but we'll get used to any of the hate we may receive. I would give anything before hiding you away from anyone because of their ignorance."
"I'll protect you from all that I can and we'll have our friends to back us up" Kevin grinned, thinking about Nazz's tirade to the first poor soul that would come against them tomorrow.
Edd nods and smiles softly. "You have Nat and Nazz, and I have Ed and Eddy. And together, we'll have the entire cul-de-sac on our side!" Edd giggles and pulls Kevin up and into the living room. "Go ahead and get comfortable. I'll put another movie in." He finishes setting it up then turns around to notice Kevin is in the same upright position as before. He smiles and crawls into his lap before moving them into a more comfortable lying down position. "Better?"
"Very much so. You're so warm and soft... I like it" Kevin rests his hands just above the swell of his hips.
Edd relaxes into Kevin's touch and scoots back so that he can be even closer to him. "and you are as well. I feel very safe in your arms" he blushes and turns around so that they are facing each other.
"You're supposed to feel safe in my arms. Safe and at ease with me." Kevin kisses his forehead lightly.
"This is all still so very new and sudden but I think I can get used to this." Edd snuggles into Kevin's chest and gives a tiny yawn. "You wouldn't mind if I took a little nap would you?"
"Nah, I'm interested in this movie actually. I'll wake you when it's over." Kevin pulled Edd to a more comfortable position, angled to lay partially on top of him and rubbed his back with Kevin's large hands. Edd gives another yawn and allows Kevin's calming cologne lull him into a peaceful sleep. Kevin watched the rest of the movie, hands never leaving Edd's back. Once it was over, he contemplated waking him up but he was sleeping so soundly... But Kevin should at least try. "Hey, babe…" he gently shook Edd.
Edd moans and snuggles deeper into Kevin's chest. "Noooo" he pouts.
"What about your homework? We haven't even started it yet..." If that didn't get him up then nothing would!
"I'll do it in the morning" he mumbles into Kevin's shirt.
"Eddward Vincent procrastinating?! I've infected you!"
Edd giggles then sighs as he groggily sits up. "Alright. I guess I'll get up." A soft blush touches his cheeks and bring just enough color to his porcelain skin. His lips curve into a slight pout as he rubs his eyes. He looks up at Kevin with sleepy blue eyes. "Did you get all of the assignments?"
"Yeah, I'm starting to get it now... Thanks to you" Kevin nuzzles Edd's jawline.
Edd's eyes shoot open. "Ah-u-uh y-you're w-welcome." He shifts a little and tries to focus on something else as he silently prays that Kevin doesn't repeat the action. Never in a thousand years did he think that something as small as a face to face nuzzle could get him a little heated. Kevin noticed Edd's diversion and repeated the nuzzle. A shocked moan escapes Edd's lips. He squirms a little and inches away a little.
"Where you going?" Kevin husks.
"K-Kevin…" Edd's blush deepens as he squirms again. He looks away as he feels the heat build inside of him. Kevin smirks as his hands rub Edd's sides lightly and places a small kiss on the side of Edd's neck. "A-ah!" Edd scrunches his neck and pulls a little further away from his boyfriend.
Kevin places a final kiss on Edd's temple before backing off. "Edd, I meant what I said... If you want me to stop then just say so."
Edd nods timidly and squirms around again. "I-I'm sorry..."
"Do you want me to stop?" Kevin asks. Edd shrugs, secretly enjoying the attention but not wanting to come off as easy to his boyfriend. "Babe, you gotta be open with me. I don't care either way. I wanna show you pleasure but if you're not ready, I'm not going to force you. That's not cool."
"I-I want to feel everything. It's just...I'm torn. Just a small touch from you does things to me. Things that I like and want. But on the other hand, we haven't even been dating for a full day and we've done so much already." Edd leans his head onto Kevin's shoulder and sighs "It's a hard decision."
"If you're unsure then let's just forgo it. It's no big deal. You're right, we have done a lot in just one day and ya know? I'm happy with it. No worries, babe" Kevin smiled before looking at his phone. "It's almost 9... I should be getting home, just not too keen on the idea of letting you go just yet."
"You're more than welcome to stay longer. It's not like my parents would mind" Edd jokes.
"I would love to but I wanna give you some time to think about everything. Take everything in. I'll see you tomorrow. I can give you a ride to school?"
Edd smiles and nods. "As long as we go the speed limit." He gets up and walks Kevin to the door. His blue eyes meet Kevin's green ones as he shyly looks up at him.
"At the risk of getting shot down, can I get a goodnight kiss? On the lips?" Kevin asked, itching to feel Edd's soft lips against his one more time tonight. Edd wordlessly places his hands on Kevin's chest as stands on his toes. His eyes squeeze shut and he holds his breath, fully prepared for another mind spinning kiss. Kevin cupped the back of Edd's neck and brought their lips together. A pleasant tingle fired off in Kevin's brain that sent sparks down his spine. Edd moans softly as he returns the kiss and cups Kevin's cheek. He breaks away a few seconds later and steadies himself against his boyfriend. "Wow...um...can we count that as our first kiss?"
"Isn't it? Well, our first kiss as a couple, at least. Kinda regret taking your first kiss at lunch today. This should have been your first kiss..."
"We can count the two on the couch as practice kisses." Edd giggles and places his head on Kevin's broad chest. "Don't worry about earlier. It was a surprise to say the least, but it was a very pleasant surprise!" His arms wrap around him in a gentle hug as he looks up into green eyes. "I'll watch and make sure you get into the house safely, Love."
Kevin chuckles lightly and kisses him one more time before detaching himself and walking to his own front door. He turns and makes eye contact with Edd and giving a small wave before turning and heading inside. His mother hugged him the second the door was shut "I saw! I'm so happy for you! You two are adorable! Invite him over for dinner tomo-"
"Ma! God, must you?! We've been dating for 3 hours. Could you not?!"
"Oh but Kevin! You're dating life has been lame until now!"
"I didn't HAVE a dating life until now..."
"Exactly... lame!"
"Whatever... Does Dad know? We're you squealing?"
"No to both, thankyouverymuch! On a serious note, we won't be able to hide him for long. I'll work on your father. Don't worry, babyboy! Momma's got ya!"
Kevin smiled as he heads up to bed "Thanks Mom."
