May and Ed were sound asleep on his floor. After a long night of horror movies, foreplay, and gaming, they were spent.
May lied with her back on the floor, her lovable behemoth lay suspended on top of her, his arms tucked in under her.
May started to awaken, her arms stretching upward.
She rustled Ed's Auburn hair, still in awe of what transpired the previous night. Not the dirty stuff, but that Ed agreed to being boyfriend/girlfriend. She'd been calling him that for years, but this is the first time he'd ever agreed.
"Yeah." Ed's voice played on repeat in her head. She just couldn't believe they were dating, in fact, she needed confirmation.
'Better make sure that wasn't a dream.'she thought, lightly shaking Ed.
"Ed, Ed." May said softly, only answered by the sounds of Ed's slumber.
"ED!!!!""Huh! What?! Chickens?!"
Ed was disoriented for a while before being calmed by the touch of May's lips against his. His immediate reaction was to press back, taking in her embrace.
After some time, they broke the kiss, and stared into each other's eyes in a rather awkward silence. Ed decided the best way to break the silence was too start talking, only he didn't exactly think twice about it.
"Er...girlfriend?" he muttered under his breath.
Despite being slightly taken back at first, May understood.
"Yessss?" she replied in a mocking tone.
"Okay, so we are like...""Mhm.""Cool.""Mhm."
May was purposely giving him short responses in an attempt to force him out of his uncomfortably.
"So uh, you're really good at-""So are you.""Oh, uh, yeah. I I've never really done stuff like that before.""Same."
With none of his ice breakers working, Ed decided to try something drastic.
"I like anal.""Hm?""I uh, I would like to try anal sometime.""Okay.""Okay?""Yeah."His literal final attempt at breaking the awkwardness crumbled before his eyes. Ed has given up.He knew now that no matter what he said, it would only end in more awkward, so he just said anything.
"He made me read Po.""What?""Double D, back in junior year, he made me read Edgar Allan Po."Hearing this caused May to get up from her well slept position and look at Ed astonishingly.
"You like Po?" she said in what Ed now calls her Hint of Lemon voice, which always soothed him.
"Yeah, I've read literally all of his stuff.""Really?""No, I lied.""...oh""That was a joke.""Oh!""Gotcha.""Do you have a favorite?""Story or Poem.""Either.""Well, my favorite poem is The Raven, and my favorite story is the one where the monkey kills people with the razor." Ed replied, slightly ashamed that he couldn't remember his favorite story title.
"I LOVE The Raven, and my favorite story is The Pit and The Pendulum, and you're thinking of The Murder in the Rue Mourge."
"Yeah...that one." Ed said with a scratch at the back of his head, still blushing from his embarrassment.
"I didn't take you for the poem type, Ed. Why'd Double D make you read?""Well, it doesn't sound as mean as it was. He knew we would be graduating in a few years so Eddy locked me and him on his room and wouldn't feed me til I finished a book. It was rough but I got thru it."For the first time since their encounter by the sidewalk, May looked at Ed as if she could feel exactly what he was feeling, because she could.
"Me too." she replied in her ever lovely voice.
"Huh?"
"Lee and Marie did it too, they made me study for a whole week." May looked at him with a slight unnerving glimmer in her eye.For the next hour, May and Ed talked of the things they were forcefully taught by their friends. May talked of how she can quote any Shakespeare ever, and Ed spoke of how he knows the beginning, middle, and end of every major war. They were radically enjoying each other's company until the device in May's pocket began to vibrate, which they both knew wasn't a good sign.
'Crap.' they thought in unison, and they weren't wrong.
May checked her phone to find a text from Marie.
-Mom's gonna wake up soon-Great." May sighed, getting up and tucking her phone away in her pocket.
Ed got up to bid her farewell.
"I know what that means.""Mhm" May said before looking up to give her new man a kiss on the cheek.
Climbing out from his bedroom window, May turned and looked at Ed with on last word.
"See you later, boyfriend." she said in the tone that once haunted Ed's nightmares.
"Sure thing, girlfriend." Ed said back in his old dopey voice.
May want expecting this, and the sudden action was enough to automatically make May giddy to the brim, as she walked away with a slight swagger in her step.
Ed kicked back on his bed, he had his first girlfriend, and he had seen enough of Kevin and Nazz to know how good that was. After graduation, Ed didn't know what to do with his time, but now, he didn't worry anymore.
Everything seemed fine.
*BAM BAM BAM*
Ed was broken from his train of thought by a knock, or rather, a pummel against his window. Thinking it might be May, he hurried to his window to find something that made all the knowledge he had gained disappear for a moment.
"Are you doing that look again Monobrow? I thought we fixed that?""EDDY!!!"END.
