At lunch, Edd had another cucumber and hummus sandwich and even though he knew Kevin knew what it tasted like he still gave him a bite. Nazz was texting Kevin all through lunch asking him if they were a couple and teasing him about staring at Edd too much. He ignored her.

Edd paid the least amount of attention he could get away with in class until the day was over. He headed to Kevin's locker right away.

"You ready? I'll drive you home too since I made you leave your motorcycle at home. I can't hang out but... I can take the extra long way home?" He smiled charmingly showing the gap in his teeth.

"Thanks Dee. I'd love that."

The long way home was fifteen minutes and the extra long way was around thirty minutes long. Once they were both buckled Edd pulled out of the parking lot and turned left to take the back roads.

"So let's play favorites." Kevin said.

"What's favorites?"

"Its where ya exchange what yer favorites are like color N' food, so you can get ta know each other better."

"Oh that sounds fun! Okay well it's your game so you start."

"Alrighty. My favorite color is blue or red. Whabout you?"

"I like green, olive green and emerald green the best."

"Cool. Okay, my favorite movie is limitless."

"Hm well I haven't seen any new movies but as far as old movies go my favorite is sailor beware."

"You're too sheltered, I need to have you over one night and just binge watch movies and shows you haven't seen."

"Heh, maybe. Only if you provide cookies."

"Deal! Okay then... hm. Well, my favorite number is 24 because that's been my jersey number since I was little."

"If I had to pick a number I guess I'd say three, no particular reason either I think its just a pleasant number."

"Okay animal. I like cats."

"I enjoy elephants, they are extremely intelegent and among the only other animals proven to actually mourn over the death of others."

"I didn't know that thats cool. Okay, favorite food. So far its been baked ziti but right now I think it might be your sandwitch."

"I'm flattered." Edd beamed. "My favorite food.. well I really really like blueberries. So I guess that would be it."

"Okay well I'm out of stuff really... so how about just other questions?"

"Okay Kevin"

"Okay so who was your first crush ever?"

"Ah, straight for the more intimate questions. well, I suppose I'd have to say Nazz. When I first moved here she was the only one around that didn't scare the daylights out of me. What about you?" Edd smiled, this game was kind of fun.

"I think everyone had a crush on Nazz, but my first real crush was probably just last year I really liked that Natalie girl. But she wouldn't give me the time of day because I may or may not have dated her friend N' then broke up with her saying she smelt like cheese all the time N' I just couldn't handle that."

Edd laughed. "You really said that to someone?"

"Yeah! She smelt like cheese. Like specifically smokey cheddar and I just can't try to kiss a girl who smells like a sandwich.."

"You're deplorable." Edd smiled so wide his cheeks hurt. "Okay well, I'll ask a question. What was your most embarrassing moment or memory?"

"Oh! Geez... Well freshmen year, I was trying ta get with this chick, Amber? Whatever her name doesn't matter but I was trying ta impress her and she was really into cowboy stuff like horses N' bull riding so I figured this stuff can't be that hard right? And I took her to the rodeo in lemon brook. They had a real bull riding contest and I entered it having no experience in riding anything let alone a bull. I was third, so I saw two buff guys go first and get thrown around violently and I was terrified. It was finally my turn and I got on the bull right N' I'm about to shit my pants.. the guy opens the gate and the bull goes roaring in and I was so nervous I forgot to hold on.. so I tumbled backwards before it even started and landed in a big pile of bull shit... face first.. and to make matters worse the bull rammed into me and it's horn slid into the belt loop of my pants and it threw me around until the handler got him to stop bucking.. the crowd was laughing their asses off. The girl left needless to say... there are still videos of it on boobtube."

Edd had been snickering the whole time he was talking. "Wow. I don't even know what to say, Kevin... Honestly, my most embarrassing moment, that was really my fault anyway, is when I tripped in gym class and landed on Kimberly Taffit. My face landed in her chest and she screamed bloody murder. Everyone thought I was a pervert for weeks after that."

"Hah! I remember that! Okay...okay. Whats the furthest you've ever gone with someone?" Kevin smirked at Edd.

"Ah.." Edd turned bright red and fiddled his fingers along the edges of the steering wheel. " can we maybe skip this one?"

"What? Is it too weird? Are you really a kinky kinda guy N' you can't talk about it because I'd judge you? I won't say anything."

"Ah! What?! N-n-no nothing like that! I haven't even kissed someone!"

"Really? I mean I know ya said something like that the other day but I didn't think you meant it."

"No, I did. Up until... well today.. I had never even held someone's hand." Edds face and ears were a deep red and he was gripping the steering wheel tightly.

"So... With me?" Kevin blushed a bit as well.

"Um.. y-yes. With you. " Edd stopped at the stop sign and looked down for a moment.

"Ah.. well then, I feel special!"

"Eh?"

"If I'm the first person to hold your hand.. that makes me feel really special. Like I got to be the first to see a great painting, it wouldn't matter if people saw it afterwards because I would always be the first. That's a really cool thing." Kevin fidgeted awkwardly and blushed brighter.

"Oh.. " Edd had also gone a whole shade deeper in red. He cleared his throat and continued. " what about you Kevin? What's the furthest you've been?"

"With a chick?"

Now, The way Kevin had worded this left Edd to think maybe Kevin was bisexual.

"Oh, either I suppose."

"Well with a girl there isn't much I haven't done. I'm not inta anything too kinky like body fluid stuff, or that thing with the hankey and balloon. But there are a few things I haven't done that I'd probably be okay with. With a guy... well I guess we're even there, I've only ever held yer hand." Kevin stated rather casually and then smiled.

"Oh.." Edd paused before realizing they had reached their culdesac. "We're here.." he sounded a bit disappointed.

"We are." Kevin's voice matched.

"I had a really nice time talking to you, I'm really excited for tomorrow. I will see you then?"

"Yeah" Kevin smiled and got out of the car walking over to Edds side.

Edd got out and faced Kevin kind of shyly. " I will text you when I am done with my homework?"

"I'd like that Dee." Kevin moved in closer. " and for tomorrow, wear something cute." Kevin smirked and his eyes looked down to Edds' lips before he walked away and into his house.

Kevin kept getting texts from Nazz all night but he ended up ignoring everyone waiting for Edd to text him. He even skipped out on Anthony's party. instead, he thought over how tomorrow was going to go and kept looking across the street to see what Dee was doing. Kevin laid out on his bed and imagined all the ways the date could go, one of which ends in a kiss. 'do I like Dee like that?' He blushed. ' I do think he's cute, he's thin and he has these big adorable eyes, it's almost unnatural. He really is attractive, his skin is nice and he looks like he came out of a goth girls dream, just in pastel clothes and without the piercings. I've never liked a guy before but Dee is really feminine shaped... I mean he has such a girl butt... doofus..' he smacked his head. 'He's a boy, he's got the same equipment as you do. I wonder what..' he squinted his eyes closed as images of what Edd might look like without clothes came into his head. 'yer a pervert kev.. a real pervert.'

Meanwhile, Edd was a frazzled wreck. He had a nearly permanent blush and couldn't focus on anything. He tried on five outfits in between assignments and when he finished and finally got to text Kevin, he asked if there was any other kind of dress code involved. Kevin told him whatever he wanted to wear would be fine. Edd showered twice that night before bed. 'Is tomorrow a date?' He wondered. Edd was developing feelings for Kevin and if Kevin didn't feel that way about him this could end really badly. 'The past is doomed to repeat itself' he quoted. He sighed and slipped into his pajamas.

10:30 pm Edd looked out his window even though he knew from the most recent notification tone on his phone that Kevin was indeed awake, and to his surprise Kevin was looking out his as well. They both looked surprised to see the other, Edd laid down flat on his bed and messaged Kevin apologizing for looking. Kevin sent back a bunch of acronyms that Edd didn't understand and a laughing face, he called Edd cute and told him goodnight. Eddward told him to sleep well and that he would see him tomorrow.
