"Heellllloooooooo, anybody here?" Nat knocked on the wall of the tech workshop where they built all of the set pieces. He whistled, impressed at most of the things, 'They built these?' He went forward to actually inspect the piece further and his eyes widened in surprise, "Painted too? Wow."
Nat backed up and looked around the deserted workshop, 'Well I won't be able to find anyone if I just stay here.' He continued walking around the back and found another door. The teal haired boy slowly opened the door and immediately noticed the sudden noise, 'Someone's singing?' He walked around and peeked through a cut out square that was probably a window on the set.
His eyes widened when he saw who was acting and singing, 'Rave?!' Needless to say he was shocked at how different the boy was on stage. Nat mouthed the word 'wow' and was content with just watching the boy but a hand on his arm made him jump in surprise.
Kirra put a finger to her lips telling him to keep quiet and motioned him to follow her.
Nat glanced back at the actor, very torn about leaving, but went with her back to the workshop. He thought he had succeeded in keeping the look of disappointment off of his face when she closed the door behind them, but realized that he was wrong when she was giggling at him.
"He's pretty good isn't he?"
Nat nodded, glancing back at the door then ran a hand through his hair to mess it up in case the spikes had fallen, "Yeah he is… SO! What's your plan about getting the two guys back together?"
Kirra sighed and looked to the ceiling, "I know that if Kevin wants any chance of getting Double D back he can't be in the closet. I'm thinking a public display type of thing, but I'm not sure."
Nat chuckled, "Oh man, indiscreet is my middle name." He placed his hands in his pockets and thought for a little while, "But, what to do…"
Silence engulfed the room; the petite of the two squatted and crossed her arms on her knees.
Nat raised an eyebrow and squatted down as well, "…Better air down here?" At her head shake he raised both brows, "So wha-"
"Helps me think."
The jock nodded and chose to actually sit. Then he got an idea, "Hey what if we used the play?"
Kirra wrinkled her nose, "I don't think I can let you mess up the play, no matter what. Besides, Rave would kill both of us."
Nat shook his head still going with it, "Then intermission! Give me a mic and I could do the rest." His smile took over his face at his plan.
Kirra forced herself not to laugh and shook her head, "If you managed to do that, I would say that you've got about two minutes at most before Rave gets to you."
Nat glanced at the door, "Do you think you could stall him?"
"That is me stalling him."
"Oh, damn." Nat looked back to the ceiling again and 'hummed' "I also suppose that Edd would want Kevin to actually say it anyways."
Kirra nodded and sighed, "I'm thinking that Double Ds a romantic type. So it would have to be actually real. You know?"
Nat nodded and laid on the ground but almost immediately sat up, "OH! OF COURSE."
Kirra looked at him slightly surprised at his outburst, "What?"
Nathan was about to continue when a voice broke through their little bubble of planning.
"What the fuck is going on here."
Both heads whipped to the backstage door where a certain person was standing.
Kirra quickly stood up and smiled, "Just working on a project!"
Rave's eyes narrowed in suspicion, "You two have no classes together." It seemed as if he was getting tenser by the second.
Nat gaped at him, "You know my schedule?"
"Get the hell out now Goldberg."
The jock held up his arms and shrugged, "Whatever you say Patricia!" with that he quickly strolled out of the work shop, Rave followed at a distance to make sure that he actually left.
Kirra finally let her smirk show; she could have sworn that she saw the lightest blush on Rave's cheeks when Nat asked about his schedule. She sighed and walked to her tech booth thinking; 'Guess I'm taking on two projects…' She heard the light footsteps of the actor and quickly hid behind a set piece, 'And that I should make sure not to die before they're due.'
Kevin slouched on his couch in quiet despair. As the week passed he couldn't help but feel worse about everything as the time went by. If he could he would take everything back. Anything was better than what he felt at that moment.
Who cared if his team had a problem, at least he and Edd could have been happy.
The boy rolled onto his back and stared at the ceiling. Besides, he had his best friend to back them up as well. Nat wouldn't let anyone hurt any of his friends.
Kevin sighed and pulled out his phone. He scrolled down to that certain name and tapped it with the pad of his finger to send a text.
'Hey man i need your help.'
He let his hand fall to his stomach with his phone and let them rest there. He was happy when he and Edd were together, though not entirely. Sure Kevin couldn't actually do anything with the dweeb in public without being questioned. But if Kevin had managed to somehow get back that boy he wouldn't hesitate to shout it to the school.
Edd made him happy and he felt a lot more at ease with him than a lot of his other friends on the football team, save for Nat.
His phone buzzed against his stomach and hand signaling that he had a text and picked it up to open the message.
'What do ya need homie?'
Kevin smirked at the screen and starting to type out his reply. He sat up, feeling a little bit better than before and hit send.
If anyone could help him fix his problem it was Nathan.
