Chapter 9

James awoke to the smells of breakfast; eggs, bacon, and a hint of pancake.

James walked towards the smell and found himself in the kitchen.

Edd was standing at the stove.

On the table behind him was; pancakes and bacon.

"Wow."

James murmured as he walked up behind Edd and stared over his shoulders at what he was cooking.

"Good Morning, James. You may sit. I've prepared extra food for you to eat along side me."

Edd said as he turned the stove off and turned around holding a pot holder and a pan full of scrambled eggs.

James was still standing in the same place.

Edd was wearing a fitting red t-shirt and blue skinny jeans.

He had a pink apron and he was wearing pink bunny slippers.

"Man."

James wasn't sure what to say at the site of what seemed like the cutest person he'd ever seen.

"Are you not feeling well, James?"

Edd asked with his head tilted slightly.

James nodded and turned around to walk towards a chair that was closest to Edd and himself.

They sat together for several moments eating breakfast.

Edd was actually able to get chuckles to escape his lips.

When breakfast was over James helped clean up the table.

"Ouch!"

Edd yelped when he cut his left hand on a knife that was submerged in the sud filled water.

"Edd! You okay?"

James hurried to Edd's side and gripped Edd's hand.

"L'me see."

James turned the water on and held Edd's hand under the flowing water.

Edd stared as James cleaned his wounds as if he was a professional nurse.

"It's not deep. It shouldn't scar but make sure to keep it clean."

James looked up into Edd's eyes freezing at how close to Edd he was.

They stared at each other for several year like seconds.

James began to lean but the door bell rang and he released Edd from his grip with a blush painted across his face.

Edd stood to his feet and rushed to the door opening it quickly.

"Kevin!"

Edd leaped into Kevin's arms and kissed him sweetly.

"Hey babe, how was your night."

Kevin said as he held Edd sweetly and nuzzled his face into the nape of Edd's neck.

James looked to the front door which could be seen from the part of the kitchen he was sitting.

Kevin noticed James.

"Who's he?"

Kevin murmured as he released Edd.

"Oh! This is James Kanker!"

Edd shut the door and lead Kevin towards James.

"James this is my boyfriend, Kevin."

"Nice to meet ch'ya."

Kevin said with a nod of the head.

"Dito."

James said as he stood to his feet.

James glanced at Edd with a blush still painted across his face.

"I'm going to go home for the day Edd. Thanks for the grub."

James hurried past Edd and Kevin.

"Okay, Be sa-"

Edd tried but was interrupted by the front door shutting.

"Guy must be shy."

Kevin shrugged as he began to kiss Edd's neck.

Edd moaned lowly.

"Let's go upstairs baby. I've missed you."

Kevin murmured as he scooped Edd into his arms and hustled up the stairs.

"Kevin!"

Edd said as Edd's bedroom door shut behind them.

James POV

James was driving home thinking of what he almost did.

He parked the car in the driveway of his departed fathers home and turned off the engine.

"What was doing?!"

James yelled at himself as he covered his mouth with his palm.

"I could've ruined Edd's life! His relationship! Or worse…"

James got out of the car and walked into the house and locked the door behind him.

He walked to the bedroom to the right of the hallway and slammed his body down on the bed.

He laid there thinking and thinking.

After several moments he turned the television on and watched cartoons.

His thoughts could be heard over the show that he was watching.

The volume was at 86.

"God damn it! Shut up!"

James yelled at himself as he thru the remote at the wall.

Edd was trapped in James's mind.

Pulsing thru with each struggle to force the thoughts from his head.

At first it was about him almost kissing Edd but then, it was of Edd last night.

The way his legs were spread and the way his back was arched. The moans he couldn't swallow and the smile Edd wore thru out the day.

Suddenly James shot up..

"Oh no!"

James gripped his head.

"Nononononono!"

James ran to the bathroom and stared at the mirror.

"You can't be falling for someone you barely know man!"

James said to the mirror and washing his face.

James calmed himself and walked to the kitchen pulling out a beer from the fridge.

He chugged the beverage and plopped down on the couch still thinking of Edd.

Beer after beer after beer.

He finally passed out later that day.

Poor James, your little heart must be hurting. By the way, this should be the only chapter based on James's POV. I THINK!
