A/N: A big thanks to those on tumblr who helped me choose where Kevin and Edd travel to next! I needed that help lol. I just want to get this fic done already. I love it, sure, but ahhh I'm just tired because it's taking me forever.

Nathan belongs to Acid. :)

My apologies for these last two chapters being really short. The next chapters are probably going to be freaking long that my head might explode. LOL


After it had almost been a month, it was that time again to leave—to embark elsewhere. But before they left, Edd knew there was one place he definitely wanted to revisit. On their last day, Kevin slept in. The sockhead wasn't able to do so himself. Sleeping in just didn't feel right to him, even if he wasn't home. Therefore, he got up at seven in the morning as always and quietly got into the shower.

To his amusement, he found Kevin still in a deep sleep, lying on his stomach, snoring loudly with his mouth wide open. Edd giggled at the sight, but left him alone as he quietly got out a book and began to read it. When two hours went by, Double D looked over to see Kevin in the same position. He laughed a little before grabbing a pillow and tossing it at the redhead. Kevin immediately jumped up, his eyes wide but lazy and Double D just laughed even more.

"Hey," Kevin said. "That wasn't funny."

"Of course it wasn't funny to you." Double D smirked and the redhead raised an eyebrow.

"Oh okay." Kevin rolled his eyes and stood up. He checked the time to see it was ten and sighed. "Well, I guess there's no use getting more sleep, huh?"

Edd shrugged. "It is your decision, Kevin." He put his book back into its original place and smiled. "Though I would like to have breakfast now and go somewhere afterwards before we leave tonight."

The redheaded nodded. "Awesome. I'll get ready." He stretched and yawned loudly, making Edd widened his eyes.

Was it really necessary to yawn that loud? No, it wasn't, but that didn't stop Kevin.

Kevin wandered into the bathroom, but before closing the door, he said, "I hope we can find a hotel as nice as this one in Thessaloniki." He grinned.

Double D smiled wide, revealing the gap between his teeth. Thessaloniki, Greece was Kevin's choice of where they went to next and Edd was quite excited about it. It seemed like a wonderful place to go. Of course it meant taking another plane—that or take a twenty hour drive, but Edd was already feeling used to plane rides. They weren't so bad... as long as he didn't think about all the plane crash accidents he heard on the news a lot of the times.

The sockhead shook away the uneasy feeling and stepped out onto the balcony. The water was crystal clear and sparkling under the sun as always. It was Edd's favorite thing to stare out. Everything about it just felt so peaceful and beautiful, an easy thing to sit back and relax to.

And that's what he did as he waited for Kevin.

He listened to the sounds of the waves, to the sound of the shower and Kevin's humming. Hmm. He never really heard that before. Edd looked over his shoulder and listened more closely. Kevin sounded sweet and free.

It was lovely.

And Edd couldn't help but get closer to the bathroom door. He stood there, smiling softly as he tried to make up what song Kevin was possibly humming, but none came to mind. It didn't matter. The redhead sounded wonderful.

When the water was shut off, Double D stepped back and waited, but as soon as the doorknob turned, he ran back out onto the balcony. He stared out at the water again, trying to seem casual. Kevin had dressed inside the bathroom, so he was drying off his hair with the towel and looked out to see a flustered Double D with his hands on his cheeks.

"What?" Kevin asked, raising an eyebrow.

Edd couldn't resist anymore. "I heard you!"

The redhead blinked, but then sighed. "Don't tell anyone."

"Singing in the shower isn't anything to be ashamed of."

"Yeah... err, just don't tell anyone, okay?"

Edd smiled and nodded. He walked back into the room and watched as Kevin placed his baseball cap on top of his head despite his hair still being damp. The redhead looked up and walked up to the ravenet. He smirked and leaned in closer. Double D tensed a little.

"Let's go eat," he whispered.

The sockhead smiled and closed the gap between them. Kevin smiled against the other's soft lips as he cupped his face as the kiss deepened. He started moving forward, forcing Edd to walk back... back... back... until he had no choice but to lie back on the bed. Edd could feel the tingles in his stomach, reaching up to his heart, making it speed up. Kevin's breath smelled sweet, his taste was of a mint, a nice, fresh mint, and it honestly just made kissing him all the more better.

Hands traveling from a cheek down to a stomach, fingers running through hair, lips moving together, and tongues entangling made the thought of food completely ignored and forgotten.

But not for too long after Kevin's stomach started growling loudly.


Nathan Kedd Goldberg. It had been almost two weeks since the couple had seen the teal-haired teen. Nat wanted to steer clear of Kevin and Edd, let them have alone time since they had to adjust to being an actual couple on a journey together when they started out as just friends. But it being their last day, Nat came out of hiding and joined them for lunch.

Instead of eating at a restaurant in the hotel, the trio headed to The Pub for some burgers and beer. Kevin loved the idea of having some American food and Edd had to admit he liked it, too. It gave him a little piece of being home. The 'Pub burger' immediately caught Kevin's attention and he ordered that. Nat grinned as he saw the 'Hangover Cure' burger and ordered it. It was just what he needed, and it had a fried egg inside it. That sounded delicious. Double D just went for the mini ground beef burgers. He wasn't up for such a fancy burger with a fried egg in it or a secret sauce.

Nat and Kevin ended up having a conversation about high school while Double D sat still and ate in silence. Perhaps no one cared about his high school experience. Well sure Kevin was there for most of it, but Edd felt sort of left out. He wasn't an attention seeker, but he wouldn't mind having Nat asking him a few questions about this and that. Well, he just wanted an excuse to talk about home, even though he felt it'd be best to keep his mind off it. And as if Nat could read his mind, the teal-haired teen began questioning him. Edd's answers were short, but he tried keeping a smile on his face the whole time.

After the burgers were eaten and beers were downed, Kevin and Edd said their goodbyes to Nathan.

"How much longer are you staying here?" Kevin asked him.

Nat sighed. "Probably another week. I kinda love it here." He grinned.

Kevin rolled his eyes, but chuckled.

"I'll probably head to France next," Nat added. "I like hearing French words all around me."

"Is that why you came here?"

"Yep."

Edd smiled at that. He hadn't known this guy for too long, but it already felt he knew him. Nathan just wasn't too hard to figure out and get to know.

"Well," Nat said loudly, making Double D flinch a little. "Hope you guys have fun in Greece."

Kevin smirked. "Yeah, and have fun in France."

"Je le ferai," Nat said, grinning.

The redhead blinked. "Uh, yeah."

Both Edd and Nat laughed, but they stopped once they noticed Kevin glaring at them.

Nat cleared his throat and smiled at Double D. "Have fun, man." He patted the sockhead's back and watched as the two exited the pub.

"Well, he was interesting," Kevin said once they were outside.

"Yes, he certainly was," Edd said with a nod.

"So, where did ya wanna go?"


Revisiting the Japanese Garden was a must for Double D. Not only because of what happened there, but because during that time they went, they didn't exactly see every little thing the garden had to offer. There really wasn't much more to see, but Kevin understood and he held Edd's hand as they walked through. In daytime, there were much more people wandering around.

"I wonder how much everyone misses us back home," Kevin said.

Double D sighed quietly. He intertwined their fingers together and gave Kevin's hand a gentle squeeze. "Yes, I wonder too," he said softly.

The redhead raised an eyebrow and looked over at Edd. "You okay?"

Edd looked up and smiled. "Of course. Why wouldn't I be?"

Kevin narrowed his eyes at him. "You're lying."

"I am not lying."

"Sure." Kevin stopped walking, let go of Edd's hand and grabbed the sockhead's shoulders. "Tell me what's wrong." When Edd remained silent, Kevin leaned in and stared deep into those big blue eyes.

After a few seconds of that, Double D had to give in. He looked away and said, "It's that I've been feeling a bit homesick, but I'll be fine, Kevin."

The redhead's expression softened and he stepped back, letting go of Double D's shoulders. "You're homesick?" He frowned. "Does this mean you wanna go-"

"No!" Edd shook his head. "Not yet. Although I am missing everyone, I do not want to miss out on seeing more of what's out there."

"Are you sure-"

"I'm more than sure." Double D furrowed his eyebrows a little as he turned to face Kevin again. "I don't want you worrying about me."

"But I do worry."

Edd sighed. "Yes, I understand, but you shouldn't-"

"Too bad. I do. So just deal with it." Kevin grinned lopsidedly.

Double D looked over Kevin's face before finally smiling and nodding. Kevin pulled him in closer and gently pressed his lips against Edd's forehead.

"I'll make you feel better," Kevin whispered.

The sockhead could feel his cheeks heat up and he smiled softly. Maybe it was just that sweet little moment, but Edd was already feeling better about being away.
