"So, where would you like to eat, Kevin?" Edd asked as they left his house.

"There's a McDonalds pretty close to here…"

"McDonalds? That is a very unhealthy choice, Kevin, besides which I am not entirely sure their hygiene is up to standards…" Edd trailed off when he saw the look Kevin was giving him, "Of course… If that's what you want… I suppose I can deal with it just this once…"

Kevin smirked walked up the pathway, "that a boy, Double Dork!"

It was only a 5 minute walk to get there and soon enough Edd was stuck trying to decide on the best option of what to order. They had some salad options but Edd had seen an older mother order one at it didn't look nearly as fresh as the picture depicted so he decided against trying one himself.

"E-excuse me…" he murmured going to one of the girls at the counter, "I was wondering if you could tell me the exact part of the cow these beef patties come from and maybe the meat to fat ratio…"

The girl stared at Edd unsure if he was serious or just trying to make her job more difficult and Kevin snorted behind Edd, pulling him back. "Dork, chill out already- you honestly don't need to know everything about everything- just pick something and try it."

Edd looked over at Kevin then up to the menu, "I suppose I will choose a happy meal with chicken nuggets and an apple juice…"

Forcing the urge to mock him down Kevin smirked, "good choice, I'll go up and order it- you can find us a table, okay?"

When Kevin received their food and made his way to the table Edd had found Edd was still wiping and cleaning the table and chairs, "Jesus, just sit down!"

Edd obeyed and Kevin passed him his meal, "how much do I owe you Kevin?"

"Nothing, dork, I got this one."

"B-but-"

"Chill you're letting me stay at your house; it's the least I can do, right?"

"I'm the reason you can't stay in your own house!"

"Don't sweat the small stuff, dork!" Kevin laughed, "Now hurry and eat your lunch."

Edd opened his meal and took a chicken nugget first, he forced it down and was surprised to find it didn't taste too horrible; in fact it didn't taste that bad at all. Kevin watched Edd's changing expressions in amusement as he ate his own lunch.

"So, Kevin, how has your year been? I forgot to ask." Edd broke the silence after taking a sip of his juice.

"Eh, same old, same old… I still play a bunch of sports and just scrape by in school…" Edd frowned at the last part of that, nodding slowly, "What about you, I mean boarding school would have been pretty different, right?"

"Oh, yes- it was quite different… to be honest I was a bit worried about having to share a room with a stranger but Rave is quite nice and he keeps the room pretty clean I mean he often leaves scripts and props lying around but other than that… Oh! I didn't mention did I? Rave is a drama student, which is why he has scripts and costumes and other things…" Edd continued talking excitedly about his life at boarding school, sneaking bites of his food in-between sentences. When he and Kevin had finished, he took their wrappers to the bin and began cleaning the table before Kevin dragged him away. He wasn't going to say anything, but Kevin was happy to see the dork smiling happily again. Especially when he said, "Thank you, Kevin, despite the unhealthy food choice I enjoyed myself proficiently!"

"Is that dork for 'I had a good time?' If it is; me too…"

Nat came around to Kevin's house at ten in the morning and was greeted by Rave at the door with, "You do remember that Kevin is staying at Edd's house, don't you? Happened just yesterday, don't tell me you hit your head… Or are you just naturally this stupid?"

Nat pushed past Rave and walked into Kevin's house, "I don't want Kevin, silly; I came to see all of you!"

"Well you're not welcome."

Nat turned to Rave and smirked, "Well, aren't you rude? We'll have to do something about that attitude of yours."

"Shut up, Goldberg- why are you really here?"

"Just want to discuss our friends, Kevin and Double D!"

At this point Rose had come down the stairs and when she heard what Nat had said she grabbed him and dragged him over to the dining room. Rave rolled his eyes and sat down on the couch.

Rose smiled secretively, "so, tell me- are you here to ask if Edd is gay?"

Nat blinked in surprise, "how did you guess…?"

Rose grinned, "You're not the only one who wants to see them together, you know."

Nat smiled as well, "Jesus, at this rate we could have our own little fandom of shippers for those two!"

Rose's grin widened and she laughed before Nat remembered his purpose here, "so back to my question…"

"Is Edd gay? Well," she said smirking at Nat, "I believe he might have said something about it, but that might have been Rave… or both…"

Nat's eyes narrowed, "Damn it woman, I won't tell you anything about Kev if you don't-"

"Oh, babe, what do you think you can tell me? My gaydar is the finest around- don't you know?"

"Dude, seriously as fellow shippers we should work together. So tell me if it was Edd or Rave!"

Rave heard his name and turned to look at them, "The fuck are you talking about me for?"

Rose laughed and said, "Oh, Rave, maybe you can help us- we were just wondering if it was you or Edd who said they were gay."

Nat's face paled as Rave's face contorted into an expression of extreme anger, "Why the fuck are you telling this little shit that stuff?"

Nat was a little offended by that but he tried to remedy Rave's anger quickly, "H-hey… No need to be embarrassed or angry, if it makes you feel better I'm pansexual!"

Fuck he thought as soon as the words had slipped out, Why did I say that? I haven't told anyone that yet… Rave looked just as shocked as Nat felt but he quickly regained control over himself and snorted, "Whatever, and if you have to know both Edd and I have admitted to being homosexual in the past… But Goldberg don't think for a fucking second we do… anything in our dorm together; neither of us like the other in that way…" With that he left both of them; a slightly shocked and confused Nat and an extremely happy looking Rose.
