After Kevin went home the next day he lay, flustered, on his bed, unable to get last night's scene out of his head. Whenever he thought about the incident his heart beat fast, and skin felt sticky. He could still feel Edd's fingertips against his chest.
The weekend had come and gone, as it did every week, and Kevin walked slowly to school. He hated Mondays, he hated every school day, he hated the people, who intern ignored him. He went through the day in his mind.
Get text books out of locker
Day dream in English.
Walk to biology.
sit in biology
Eat lunch, alone.
go to art class, that was the only thing he liked about school, art
then walk home, alone
A sigh escaped Kevin's lips. How he wished to be at Edd's house, watching an animal documentary.
When Kevin went to get his textbooks he was not surprised by what he saw on his locker. In bright green sharpie someone had scrawled "FAG". Kevin sighed, he would have to spend 20 minutes scrubbing his locker, but he didn't have time now. He fished his textbooks out from under a pile of old drawings and left for English.
Kevin tried to focus, he really did. But he simply didn't care about predicates and pronouns. Instead his mind kept wondering back to Friday's incident and Edd's soft lips. He thought about it on his way to biology, and all though the class.
Soon it was lunch time. Kevin sat in his regular spot, the table in the corner, by himself. He eat his sandwich and absentmindedly doodled, trying to get Edd out of his mind, but everything he drew reminded him of Edd, Edd's hair, Edd's soft lips, Edd's hard chest (and other hard things) . He sighed.
"Hay, pumpkin." Edd materialize behind him. Kevin jumped as he felt two warm, soft hands drape over his shoulders. A smile spread across Kevin's face "Hi Edd." Edd whispered in his ear "do you want to come eat with me." Kevin grew red, if he ate with Edd he'd have to eat with Edd's friends, and he wasn't too good with new people. "Oh, no, that all right."
But soon he was sitting next to Edd, so close he could feel Edd's heat, and Edd's arm slung casually around his his. "Hay!" Edd greeted the gaggle of intimidating boys "Kevin, this is Johnny, Tim, and Rolf." he said nodding at each of them. "This is Kevin...my… friend." he introduced Kevin.
Friend friend friend
That simple word echoed through Kevin's mine, as he sat there disconnected from the real world. "Is that all we are?" he thought "even after…" he flushed red.
Edd's voice broke through his daze "pumpkin pumpkin pumpkin!" Kevin looked up startled "hmmm?" "The bell just rung." said Edd. "Oh!" Kevin quickly got up, dropping one of his papers. He left in a hurry, and didn't notice.
Edd picked up the drawing laying on the floor. It was a picture of a tall muscular boy, with long raven hair, and a tight red T-shirt on leaning over a hot stove. A smile broke across his face "that Dork" he mumbled pocketing the portrait.
Kevin sat on the floor, a bucket of WD-40 and a sponge. He sighed as he rubbed his locker vigorously. Just then he saw Edd walking up to him "Hay pumpkin what are you doing?" "oh" side Kevin "just cleaning my looker." Edd's brow knit as he looked at the writing "who did this." Kevin gave a bitter chuckle "could've been any one" he said.
Edd knelt down beside Kevin; he pulled out the extra sponge left floating in the bucket and wiped the looker. He stole a glance at Kevin who didn't seem upset, or angry. How could he not be angered by this? Did it happen that often?
Soon the writing had diapered. "I'll walk you home." Edd offered. "Oh, ok." Kevin looked down at the ground as they exited the school. Halfway home Edd pulled out the portrait. He held it so that Kevin could see "I really like this drawing." said Edd "It reminds me of someone." he said with a devilish grin. Kevin grew red and snatched the picture away "It, it's no one!" he said, flustered "just, just a friend."
Friend Freind Friend
The word echoed in Edd's mind, but rather then become angry he simply leaned on Kevin and whispered, close the Kevin's neck "Friends is that all we are?" Kevin looked at the taller boy, shocked. Then hardness came over his voice, and tears gathered behind his eyes "That's what you want right! That's what you said!" Edd saw the emotion on the boy's face and pulled him into a tight hug. "No, pumpkin babe.. That's not...it's not what I meant. I just didn't want…" Kevin interrupted "what to tell your friend's about it? About your booty call!" Edd pulled back so they were face to face "I didn't want to scare you off." he said "would you do me the honer of being my boyfriend?"
Kevin smiled ear to ear in responses to Kevin's question he pecked the taller boy on the cheek. "Yes" he said. Edd wrapped his arms around Kevin and right there on the street pulled him into a passionate kiss. He felt Edd's soft lips against his own, and Edd's hands pressed firmly against his head and back.
