Video Games

"I'm sorry…" Edd blushed darkly as he stood in front of Kevin's house. In front of him was Kevin who looked like he just woke up even though it was in the afternoon. "I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you when you did nothing wrong. Please forgive my rash attitude." He pleaded before hearing a chuckle. Looking up, he was surprised to see Kevin looking rather… amused.

"Dork, stop worrying about it." Kevin smiled and rested against the doorway with his arms crossed. "Wanna come inside? My parents are gone so it's a bit quiet." He said, tossing his thumb behind him. "I have video games. We can talk about this during that." He suggested, his smile giving Edd a hard time saying no.

Edd gave a shy nod and slowly stepped inside. His eyes wandered around the unknown area. He had only been in here once or twice and that was thanks to Eddy. If his three-haired friend wasn't always seeking war, he'd never have gotten to know much about Kevin. He noticed the tan walls along with the red couches lined up at the walls. The flower arrangement on the redwood table caught his attention. "You have a beautiful home." He complimented softly as he walked over and bent down to sniff the flowers.

Kevin rubbed the back of his neck, "Thanks?" He watched Edd with a soft smile, his hand dropped. "My room is upstairs," He said, beginning to go for it. "Stay here for a minute, got that Dork?" When getting a nod, he rushed upstairs to quickly clean up his room.

Edd stood straight and continued looking around. Seeing photographs hung on the wall, he walked over and examined them. One picture made him smile; it was one of Kevin when he was probably five or six wearing a jersey and football helmet that seemed one size too big. Giggling softly, he moved to another, one of him and his parents. They all looked so happy together. "Family…" He murmured, his smile vanishing.

"Hey Dork! Come on up!" Kevin's voice called from upstairs.

Edd shook the saddening thoughts from his head and tore himself from the pictures. Grabbing the rail, he began walking up the stairs nervously. What would he see in Kevin's room? Magazines of naked women? Probably, teenage boys usually had at least one. He shuttered for a moment before entering the room. He looked around and immediately noticed it was messy. His instinct kicked in and right as he was about to pick something up, he reminded himself this wasn't his room to clean. Though it may have looked clean in Kevin's eye, Edd still wanted to make it cleaner.

Kevin plopped down on his bed and held out his controller, "Hope you're up for a racing game." He said with a grin. Turning the system on with his own controller, he glanced at Edd who cautiously sat down. "Calm down, I made sure I didn't leave any food under the blanket this time." When he noticed Edd's expression change to horror, he let out a laugh. "I'm joking!"

Edd blushed, "Don't joke about such an unsanitary scenario." He shuttered as the thought of moldy food being under him filled his mind. Huffing softly, he looked at the screen and watched as the starting button popped up. "I have played these before with Eddy so I think I may have somewhat of a chance of winning." He said with a grin.

Kevin arched a brow, "Is that what you think? I could be a professional driver seeing how good I am at this game. Be prepared to lose." He smirked as he picked his car, same as the other. "I'm not losing to some dweeb."

Double D gave a small huff as his brows furrowed. Holding down the button, his car shot forward. A grin formed when he passed Kevin. "Well Kevin, it seems this dweeb is going to kick your bottom." He smiled when Kevin laughed at that. His hands along with his car turned as a sharp corner hit. If it weren't for a warm arm rubbing against his own, he wouldn't have been distracted and hit the wall. Glancing down at their touching arms, he swallowed hard. "Curses…"

Kevin grinned, "In first place, whatcha gonna do about it?" He asked as he laughed at Edd's accident.

Edd pursed his lips and glanced down at Kevin's controller. The thought about cheating crossed his mind. It would be funny though, right? "This." He reached over and knocked Kevin's controller out of his hand. Immediately going back to the race, he listened to Kevin curse and go for his fallen controller. Smirking, he kept going until he passed through the finish line. "First place! I win!"

He had expected Kevin to laugh, just to smile even. What he didn't expect Kevin to do was get angry and push him down onto his back. He didn't expect Kevin to crawl on top of him and pin him down. He didn't expect any of it.

Edd was cherry red, muttering apologizes like no other as Kevin stared down at him. "I shouldn't have cheated, I'm really sorry… My apologizes. Don't hurt me…" He blubbered as tears stung at his eyes.

Kevin's frown quickly disappeared and he sighed. "You're such a crybaby; I was just messing with you…" He got off of Edd and sat next to him. He grabbed and pulled him up on his lap, "Don't cry okay? I don't want to see you cry." He mumbled into Edd's hat as he wrapped his arms around the smaller guy.

Edd's eyes watered worse, how was he suppose to not cry when something like this was happening to him? Such a warm hold, he couldn't remember the last time someone hugged him. "Sorry…" He mumbled into Kevin's lovely smelling shirt. It wasn't long before tears soaked the said shirt.

Kevin rubbed Edd's back and said nothing, just let him let everything out. The image of Edd's crying face from when food and drinks covered him filled his mind. Kevin frowned; he had beaten the shit out of Chad after they got kicked out of that small café. No one deserved such treatment, he wanted to protect Edd. He didn't want to see those tears again. But here he was, making Edd cry. Kevin hugged him tighter. "I'm sorrier."
