Author's Note: This is super short, but I wanted to give you guys something, since I haven't posted in a few days, and I might not get the opportunity to for a few more. So take this tiny fluffy thing.


"You are rather imprudent," Double Dee murmured, out of breath, allowing himself to linger on top of Kevin for seconds that stretched to an eternity. He panted softly, having just sprinted to tackle his friend (but Kevin was breathing heavily, too). Despite their heavy winter coats, he could swear that Kevin's accelerated heart was pounding under him. Logic and data built right angles and unraveled algorithms in his mind, but he could not compute these situations lately. He could not help himself but to study the redhead's features. Those petulant green eyes. That perfect curve of his freckled nose and his distinctly strong jaw. The inviting angle of that ephemeral, reserved smile.

Kevin could only grin sheepishly then release Edd. He could sense the blood rush to his cheeks when his eyes accidentally stumbled upon Edd's lips (God, how he just wanted to kiss that dork). "Don't think I forgot," he added, regaining his satisfied and aloof composure, "so answer me when I text you. How else can I win you over?"

Unable to be in such close proximity to Kevin without melting the snow, Edd stood up. "Was that your intention all along?" he inquired dubiously, extending his hand to help the other boy up.

"Probably was," the redhead admitted, and they resumed their walk. He wanted to ask if they should just skip the texting bullshit and go on a date, but instead he spent the entirety of the walk to Eddy's house wishing he had the nerve. Edd, actually marginally less shy, still failed to conjure up a topic. It seemed like their time together was becoming a litany of awkward moments.

When they came up to Eddy's place, Kevin waved goodbye unceremoniously as Edd disappeared into the house.
