The main idea for this story is based off of is The Sockhead Secret by Aaron Ledgers. I recommend ya'll read it! The rest of the story is my own ideas!

After three days of being in the hospital, Edd was allowed to go back home. He had insisted on going back to school on Friday, even though he didn't exactly want to go. He couldn't wear his wrap until the next Monday, so he would have to go to school without it. He stood in front of the mirror, upset that his chest wasn't flat. But he smiled as his doorbell rang. Kevin had promised to pick him out and bring him to school. He ran down the stairs and threw open the door, giving him a big, gap-toothed grin.

"Greetings, Kevin!" Kevin smiled at him and he pulled him into a big hug.

"Hey, D." As he pulled back, he pulled down his shirt in attempt to hide his chest. Kevin smiled sympathetically then pulled off his green hoodie.

"Here," He handed it to him. "It will be a little too big on you, but hopefully that will help." Edd smiled and he slid his arms through the sleeves before zipping it up, satisfied that his chest appeared flat underneath it. Kevin grinned at him.

"You ready to go?" Kevin asked, earning a nod from Edd.

"Indeed." He grabbed his backpack then shut the door, locking it since neither of his parents were home. Then he looked at Kevin, who took his hand gently. Edd giggled softly and walked with him. As they got closer to the school, Edd's grip on Kevin's hand became tighter.

"I'm right here, Edd. Everything will be okay." He reassured and gently kissed his cheek. Edd smiled slightly, his cheeks growing pink from the interaction. During the three other days that Edd was in the hospital, Kevin came to visit him everyday after school. Their relationship had grown and they had spent as much time as they could cuddling together. A few other of his friends had come to visit, but they mostly left the two boys alone. Edd's parents had only visited him once, but he didn't really care all that much. Kevin stayed with him from the time school ended until the visiting hours ended. Now everyone knew the two boys were together. And soon, no one would be talking about Double D's gender, just about their new relationship and questioning Kevin's sexuality. Even before finding out Edd's true gender, everyone had silently assumed that he was gay. But Kevin, no one other than Nazz could have guessed that. And Kevin already made it clear to everyone that no one would make fun of Double D for their relationship or for his gender or for anything. It luckily didn't even take him threatening to pound them to make them agree. He wanted to make Edd as comfortable as he could. As Kevin and Edd walked into school, hand in hand, they were met by friendly smiles. Ed ran over and pulled them both into a bone crushing bear hug.

"Ed, you are squishing me." Edd chuckled softly as Ed released them.

"Sorry Double D!"

"Quite alright, Ed." He smoothed Kevin's hoodie on his body and looked up as Nazz sent a grin in their direction, causing Kevin to chuckle. Johnny made his way over to them. Kevin sent him a glare, warning him not to say anything bad to Edd.

"I'm sorry how I acted the other day, Double D. That was immature and wrong." Double D nodded, his grip on Kevin's hand loosening-but only slightly.

"It is alright, Johnny. All is forgiven." Johnny smiled slightly before he ran off to class. He knew that Ed didn't understand anything going on, and he doubted Eddy explained it to him. Soon, the bell rang and everyone made their way to their classes. Hand in hand, the two went to their class. Neither really paid attention to what the teacher was saying, they just held hands under the table, content just being in each other's company.

As Kevin walked Edd to his next class, he stopped him and gently grabbed his waist and pulled him close.

"I've got a surprise for you after school." Edd rose his eyebrows, placing his hands on Kevin's shoulders.

"What is it?" He asked, causing Kevin to smirk.

"It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you, babe." Edd blushed a deep red color at his words, causing Kevin's smirk to grow bigger. He leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to his lips before pulling back.

"I'll see you later." He smiled at him then rushed to his next class so he wouldn't be late.

The rest of the day went by quickly and everyone was being kind to Edd. After school, Kevin led him out.

"Mind coming to my house?" Kevin asked and Edd shook his head in reply.

"Not at all." Kevin smiled and led him to his house.

"Where's your mom?" Edd asked as they went into his house and tossed their backpacks on the ground.

"She's working late today." Kevin said quickly, making Edd question whether or not he was telling the truth. But Kevin led him outside to a hammock hanging between two trees and he laid down in it, holding out his arms for Edd to join him. Grinning, Edd climbed in with him. Kevin wrapped his arms around his waist and he held him close. Edd wrapped his arms around his neck and he cuddled close to him. Comfortable in Kevin's grasp and exhausted from the day, he fell asleep.

When Edd woke up, he was shocked to find the he was now alone. He sat up, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes and looking around.

"Kevin?" He called but there was no answer. Once he got off of the hammock, he noticed a sticky note on the back door. He walked over to the door and pulled it off so he could read it.

'Edd, if you are reading this, walk around to the front of the house -Kevin' Edd smiled slightly and he walked around to the front of the house, only to notice a second sticky note.

'You mean the world to me, Edd. You're amazing. Ps. Turn right until you find the next note. -Kevin' Edd did as the note told him and he walked until he found another note stuck to a light post.

'I never would have thought I would feel this way toward you, but I do. Ps. Keep walking right. -Kevin' He continued walking until he found the next note on a stop sign, to which he had to jump to reach it.

'It's hard to say this, but... I love you, Edd... Ps. Turn and go to Nazz's house, the door is open. -Kevin' Edd looked at Nazz's house and he walked up the driveway up to the door. He held the sticky notes in his hand and he slowly pushed the door open. Nearly his entire high school's population was there, everyone turning to him and smiling at him. Edd, stunned, looked up to notice a large banner, like one you would see at a baby shower, reading 'It's a boy!' Edd covered his mouth, a mixture of laughs and tears overwhelming him. He wiped away the tears off his cheeks as they fell. Kevin emerged from the crowd and walked toward Edd.

"Did you do all of this?" He asked, pulling his hand from his mouth.

"Nazz and I did, yeah. Eddy helped a lot too." Edd looked around in awe.

"And you did all of this for me?" Kevin smiled.

"Of course we did, you deserve it, Edd." Edd suddenly hugged him tightly, burying his face in his chest. Kevin gently lifted his face and he brought their lips together. The entire room cheered, causing Edd to blush and Kevin to chuckle, grinning at the blush. Looking into the crowd, he noticed Kevin's mom walking over. She smiled kindly at the two boys. Kevin shifted slightly, his arm going around Edd's waist.

"So, you two are together?" Kevin slowly nodded his head.

"Yes, we are... I'm gay..." She smiled softly.

"I always knew that." She said, causing Kevin to blush. Edd smiled slightly then looked up at Kevin's mom.

"What about his father?" He asked quietly, but she waved the thought away.

"I'll talk to him and settle everything out, no need to worry. Just focus on each other." Edd looked up at Kevin and he smiled up at him. Kevin leaned down and kissed his head gently, causing his mom to smile at them.

"Now, go have fun. There's food in the kitchen." She said before leaving and going to talk to Nazz's mom. The two boys got some food then sat on the couch. Everyone was kind and smiled at them, but the two boys hung to themselves. After they finished eating, they cuddled on the couch. Edd knew there would be issues later on with his parents and his gender, but he didn't care. Because he had Kevin and together, everything would be perfect.
