Chapter 1 Chapter 11, an ed, edd n eddy fanfic

Hi people! I want to apologize, I was rereading everything and I realized I had made a really big mistake! homecoming tickets are not sold until September 23rd!* This is very important to remember! Sorry if I confused you, I haven't exactly been keeping track :(

Kevin awoke to a smiling face, a very beautiful women dressed in white, with a ponytail in her hair. She was very petite and she had a soft face. She looked extremely familiar to Kevin, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"I see you are awake. How are you feeling Mr. Barr?" It took Kevin a while to find his voice, but he managed it, "'m fine."

"That is good, I am not the usual doctor in this area so I will only be here for a brief moment before Dr. Rosalind is able to see you." She checked a few things with Kevin while she talked.

"I'm in a hospital…?" Kevin tried to sit up but winced as he moved. She quickly attended to him, "you will need to relax for a while longer Mr. Barr." She paused and looked at her board in her hands, picking up papers and moving them around before she spoke, "Mr. Barr do you remember who brought you here?"

Kevin's thoughts went to a boy with a black sock hat, a gap in his teeth and a menacing glare. HE smiled, "Edd maybe…Eddward?"

The women stopped and looked at him for a while, she looked as if she was thinking a little too hard, "a last name?"

Kevin smiled again, "Vincent."

She dropped the check board on the bed before walking out, "I knew it…" Kevin laid there a bit shocked, for a doctor to act in such a way was out of the ordinary. Kevin laid there for a while longer before the door opened.

"…minor bruising on his ribs, no concussion, he will be ok but we want him to stay a while longer." Kevin turned his head just as Edd wrapped his arms around him. Kevin winced as he brought his arms up to him and hugged him back, smiling through the pain. It was silent for a long while and they stayed there for a while, he could tell Edd was trying not to crush him, he was shaking a little.

"Edd, I'm ok."

Edd suddenly gasped, as if he was holding his breath for hours, "God Kevin you looked so broken, I didn't know what to do." Kevin blushed slightly as Edd spoke, but smiled, thankful Double D was there.

Double D didn't pull away, "Doc says you have to stay for a while longer and that you have some minor bruising."

"I'm in the room…?"

Kevin thought about that, "How much longer?" Edd shook his head, still hugging him, "I don't know."

"I am right here, I am the doctor, in the room. And I say for a few more hours, thank you." Edd pulled away finally and they looked at the women. She was still smiling but she looked a bit upset. Edd pulled a chair next to Kevin and watched the doctor intently, her smile did not disappear. She looked at Edd then at Kevin as if to say, well, how do you know each other?

After a while, Double D sighed, "Kevin," he gestured to the women in white and she smiled, "my mother." Kevin's heart stopped and the device that hooked up to him started to go off. Edd immediately stood.

"I'm sorry! I'm ok I-I just….what?" Kevin held his hands up to show he was ok, Edd immediately relaxed along with his mother, who held a hand out. "It's wonderful to meet a friend of Eddward's, we don't see many." Kevin caught the slight change of voice as she said friend.

"You don't see them at all." Double D's voice was harsh as he watched his mother, she grimaced a bit, but altogether looked perfectly fine. A knock on the door sounded through the room as another older women came in.

"Dr. Stevens? May I ask what you are doing here?" Her voice was low, she was also very pretty but much much older. Kevin looked at Edd, Dr. Stevens?

Edd laughed and patted Kevin as if to say I'll tell you later. Edd's mother turned to the new doctor, "Forgive me Dr. Rosalind, Dr. Bindle asked me to look after him, we are a bit short staffed and I have no appointment's today, I shall take my leave." She walked swiftly to the door when Dr. Rosalind stopped her, "Isn't that your boy Cassandra?"

Dr. Rosalind looked over Edd for a while, his expression was bored and he had an eyebrow raised. Kevin had to hold back a laugh.

"It is! Evan how are you?" She went to shake his hand. He stood and lamely shook her hand with the same expression. He looked over to his mother how didn't speak and didn't turn to look at him. He waited a little longer before looking at Dr. Rosalind, "Eddward, I am alright, thank you."

The doctor flushed and apologized as Edd's mother left. Edd stared at the door for a while before sitting and looking at the new doctor. "Dr. Steven's has notified us on Mr. Barr's condition and how long he has to stay, may I be permitted to have some alone time with him?" Dr. Rosalind looked up from her charts and watched Double D for a while. Kevin had never seen him look so professional and…well, formal. Of course his outfit didn't match but overall he looked rather empowered. She nodded, "very well, a few minutes will suffice I think". She took her leave and Kevin felt himself relax.

Kevin turned to Edd as Edd moved to him, kissing him once again. The heart monitor next to him started beeping rapidly. Kevin tried to calm down but his heart monitor only started beeping at an irregular speed. Edd wasn't pulling away either, he only pressed closer to Kevin, wanting him. Kevin started to get dizzy, but he only pulled Edd closer. Caught a bit by surprise Edd pulled away and smirked at him, "feeling better I see pumpkin~"

Kevin blushed again and pulled the cover's over his face, however that didn't stop the heart monitor from continuing its rapid beeping. He heard Edd chuckled and looked up from out of the covers, he looked the same as ever and Kevin relaxed.

"Edd…what happened? All I remember is you pulling off your teammates and…" Kevin stopped not remembering much else.

Edd's smirk fell and he leaned back in his chair, "they are no longer 'teammates' to me. I have not quit swimming," Edd paused, "not yet at least." Kevin looked at him stunned and sat up ignoring the pain that shot through his body. He leaned closer to Edd, "Double D…you need to swim, I don't want you to quit."

Edd's expression didn't change, "Kevin, let me tell you what happened." Kevin sat up straight and gave him his full attention. Edd sighed, "Brian, the captain, and 5 other guys came to the conclusion that it was necessary I be taught a lesson by doing this to you," he gestured to Kevin. Kevin stiffened, did he look that bad? Edd continued, "Due to the fact I was involved in a fight early on today, Dr. Scott basically gave me a presage, no more fights or else my suspension would be elongated and go on my permanent record."

"Was it not already put on?" Kevin looked at him puzzled. Edd grinned and placed his elbows on the bed and let his hands hold his head up, "Dr. Scott and I came to a deduction. As a result of my good behavior and grades, Dr. Scott was able to overlook the incident that occurred today. He was able to keep it off my record and shorten the suspension time."

Kevin beamed, "Double D that's great!" Edd watched him smiling, and Kevin became self-conscious once more as he blushed.

Edd chuckled at him. Kevin spoke again, "Well…what about today? You don't look hurt…?" Kevin looked him over, he still had the cut on his jaw from earlier today but nothing else. He also remembered Edd dodging and moving around the boys before he blacked out.

Edd lost his smile, and Kevin suddenly became concerned. "I am fine, I only wore them out, I did my best not to kill them," his voice got rigid then, "I talked to Dr. Scott right after I brought you here, he is finding the boys and, hopefully, disciplining them adequately."

It got quiet then, and Kevin couldn't wait any longer, "I'm glad that's been settled…your mom is nice."

Kevin immediately regretted bringing up the subject, Edd had never glared at him like that, even when Double D would pick on him. Edd suddenly seemed extremely tense and Kevin's heart monitor shot up again, "I-I'm sor-ry I just," Kevin tried to explain himself, when Edd placed his head face down on Kevin's bed. He sighed heavily and paused for a bit before turning his head to look at Kevin.

He didn't look at him, "my parents are surgeons as I am certain I have told you and the rest of the cul-de-sac once before. My mother kept her maiden name whereas my father and I kept the name 'Vincent'." Kevin nodded, he remembered back years ago his parents had been home and Edd had spent the day with them. The next day he explained how his parents were surgeons and were very busy at work. Everyone in the cul-de-sac thought it was really cool that Double D's parents had a job like that. He didn't know about the names though. Kevin's parents were dentists, boring, he thought.

"That's why when I perceived her approach me I considered the worst…" Edd kept his eyes down for a while, then looked up at Kevin. They were soft, Kevin had never seen him look so worried. /He looked angry in the locker room, but now he looked…scared.

Kevin bent over and placed his forehead on Double D's and closed his eyes, "thank you for saving me Edd…" He felt Edd's hand come up and brush his hair, "pleasure is all mine pumpkin~". Kevin opened his eyes and saw him grinning.

Kevin blushed and pulled away, "w-where were you when you knew about the situation." Edd closed his eyes, he looked tired. "Home, I had just arrived when Marie had sent me a message foretelling me the situation." He opened his eyes again, "I must thank her next time I see her."

There was a knock on the door and they both looked up, expecting the doctor, when Marie, Nazz, and Nat entered. Edd chuckled, "speak of the devil".

"Kevin!" Nat and Nazz embraced him tightly, and he winced in pain, but smiled. The stepped back apologizing. A nurse entered them, "I am sorry to disappoint but you folks have 5 more minutes before Mr. Barr needs to be alone." They all nodded and she left.

Nazz and Nat were asking him so many questions, what had happened and everything that went on, while Edd explained.

Nazz giggles, "Damn Kevin, a knight in shining armour by your side, romantic". Edd glared at her while Kevin flushed and held back a chuckle, Edd had his romantic moments but he was defiantly not the type to be considered a 'knight in shining armour'.

Marie got serious then, "D.C. high won the match today."

Edd only nodded, "as expected." Kevin looked at him, puzzled. Edd sighed and Nazz explained, "Double D had a match against another high school today, but uh…he didn't go."

Kevin looked at Double D, he looked like himself, bored and tired, with just a touch of pink on his face. Kevin looked at Marie who gave a half-hearted smile. That's when he realized, "Oh my God, I am so sorry! I didn't mean for this to happen! I"

Edd hugged him then and Kevin's mouth was smothered in his shoulder. The three others turned away snickering quietly.

"By no means should you repent, for anything…I should be the one to contrite my actions. I should have remained to make sure you went un-harmed." Edd's embrace was rather tight, but Kevin didn't mind, he only smiled.

"Double D, I'm ok because of you."

"AWWWWW." Edd turned and glared at his three friends. They turned away once again snickering. The door opened then and the nurse showed them out. Edd waited as long as he could.

"I will be in the waiting room until the release you."

Kevin raised an eyebrow, "Edd we don't know when that could be." Double D shook his head, "I don't care." Edd watched him closely, his eyes looked strained, and he hugged him again, "you scared me." Kevin blushed profusely again and Edd brought his lips to his. It was a small peck but it still made Kevin's heart monitor go crazy.

Edd chuckled as he left the room, "Se sentir mieux citrouille". Kevin blushed and hide under the blankets again.

Edd's POV

Double D watched his mother smile him, it was strained, she was upset. "What happened to your chin Eddward?"

Edd looked at her with a very intense stare, he can't remember the last time he saw her. A year or so ago maybe? She had more creases in her face and more gray hairs as well. "I got in a fight."

She dropped her smile and looked at him, astonished, "Excuse me?" Edd shrugged.

"Excuse me, I was unaware standing up for someone would cause me strife." She didn't drop her glare but Edd paid her no mind. For her to show any remorse for him was highly unlikely. She sighed and examined the bandage Dr. Jamie gave him.

"The wound has been tended to correctly, so that's good…Edd, are you waiting for a boy by the name of 'Kevin Barr'?" Edd's nerves heightened, his mother was a surgeon, he didn't think Kevin was that bad to undergo such a procedure. She watched his expression change, and strained another smile, "I assure you he does not need surgery." She turned and walked through the double doors, Edd kept her pace.

"I read his file and noticed he went to the same school as you. I also remember seeing you waiting here a few moments ago. I thought he was a friend of yours so I examined him." Edd stared at her, that wasn't the rules of the hospital and for her to take interest in Edd's life came of more to a shock to him.

She paused, "…Eddward, I may not be the best mother but I am able to see some signs. For example, I have not known you to stand up for anyone other than yourself."

Edd chuckled, looking indifferent, "what evidence have to you confirm such an accusation?" Double D knew her to be a 'mother' that came home to sleep, and shower. She didn't even shop for food, Edd started doing that in his early teen years when his parents left him money to 'buy food'.

She grimaced, "Edd, this is the first time I have ever seen you with someone else." She stopped in front of a door that Edd assumed was Kevin's. He reached for the door handle when she stopped him, "which is why I must ask you." She paused and Edd waited, expressionless, "what is he to you?"

Edd didn't flinch, he stayed the same as he watched his mother glaring at him, "a friend, may I proceed?" She waited still until she was determined that Edd had been telling the truth.

"Very well," she opened the door as she talked, "he has minor bruising on his ribs, no concussion, he will be ok but we want him to stay a while longer." Edd saw him laying there, the blood was gone, he looked mostly normal except with a few cuts and bruises. Edd's heart flipped and he couldn't take it. Kevin looked so much better when he was fearing the worst. He practically jumped on him as he embraced him, he was warm. Double D couldn't help his body shake, when he left Kevin he felt cold, now he felt so much more alive. Edd wanted to crush him against his chest, and never wanted to let go, but he knew he must be in pain.

"Edd, I'm ok." Kevin's voice sounded normal, he didn't even sound tired. Double D felt his lung let go, and he realized he was holding his breathe. "God Kevin you looked so broken, I didn't know what to do." Double D told him the truth; after he took Kevin from the school he looked and felt limp. Edd hadn't been in this kind of situation before.

Double D couldn't bring himself to pull away, "Doc says you have to stay for a while longer and that you have some minor bruising."

"I'm in the room…?"

Kevin paused, "How much longer?" Edd shook his head, still hugging him, "I don't know." Edd smiled, he loved hearing Kevin's voice.

"I am right here, I am the doctor, in the room. And I say for a few more hours, thank you." Edd's mother sounded irritated as he pulled away. He completely forgot she was there. She was smiling as if she knew something Edd didn't. He didn't like that expression, his mother was actually a terrifying women, but he couldn't let her know he felt that way. Edd found a chair and pulled it next to Kevin. Double D sat down as he watched her intently, her smile did not disappear. She nodded at the both, Introduce me. Edd waited, he didn't want his mother to know about him and Kevin. He knew she wouldn't care, but she would tell the news to his father, who would have.

After a while, Double D sighed, "Kevin," he gestured to the women in white and she smiled, "my mother." Kevin's heart monitor stopped then, signifying his heart had stopped. Edd stood and looked at the device then back at his mother who seemed a bit lost. She was a surgeon not a nurse.

"You don't see them at all." Double D's voice was harsh as he watched his mother, she grimaced a bit. He assumed she was putting on a façade for Kevin, she seemed perfectly fine, but Edd knew better. He hadn't brought home a 'friend' in years, and when he did his parents were never around. A knock on the door sounded through the room as another older women came in.

"Dr. Stevens? May I ask what you are doing here?" Her voice was low, she was also very pretty but much much older. Kevin looked at Edd, he could tell he was confused by her last name.

Edd laughed and patted Kevin, you're looking cute again, I'll tell you later. Edd's mother turned to the new doctor, "Forgive me Dr. Rosalind, Dr. Bindle asked me to look after him, we are a bit short staffed and I have no appointment's today, I shall take my leave." Edd recognized the name Bindle, he was almost sure that he was her boss. She walked swiftly to the door when Dr. Rosalind stopped her, "Isn't that your boy Cassandra?" Dr. Rosalind was examining him, Edd didn't exactly recognize her. His parents used to bring him to the hospital when he was very young. He assumed most of the people had either quit or wouldn't recognize him anymore. Edd was a bit intrigued she had caught a resemblance.

"It is! Evan how are you?" She went to shake his hand. He stood and lamely shook her hand with the same expression. He looked over the doctor's shoulder to his mother. He was waiting for her to correct the name 'Evan'. However, she kept her face down and didn't speak. He sighed, knowing she wouldn't say anything, "Eddward, I am alright, thank you."

The doctor flushed and apologized as Edd's mother left. He watched the door close and stood for a while longer. Edd wasn't sure why his parents spoke to him as their son in private, but he didn't care. He sat and looked at the new doctor. "Dr. Steven's has notified us on Mr. Barr's condition and how long he has to stay, may I be permitted to have some alone time with him?" Dr. Rosalind looked up from her charts and watched him for a while. Edd did his best to look like the straight A, no red marks, proper child he was. HE didn't think his parents talked about him at work, but whenever the subject came up, he was sure they would talk about him as if he had won the Nobel peace prize.

She nodded after examining Edd's appearance, "very well, a few minutes will suffice I think". She left and Edd finally relax.

Edd turned to Kevin and kissed him again. He had been waiting to kiss him since he left his side. His lips were warm and he couldn't help smile, knowing he was ok. Edd could tell something felt different, his forehead felt funny, then he realized it was because Kevin wasn't wearing his hat. Kevin's heart monitor next to him started beeping rapidly, then turned into an irregular speed. Edd wanted to pull away so Kevin could maintain his heart rate again, but he couldn't. If anything he brought his lips closer to Kevin, wanting him. Edd felt Kevin weakly grab his jacket and pull him closer. Edd wasn't expecting that, Kevin was the type to pull away and blush. Edd then pulled away and saw his blushing face, he was still a bit fluster. Edd smirked at him, "feeling better I see pumpkin~"

Kevin blushed again and pulled the covers over his face, his heart monitor beeped even faster. Edd chuckled, you don't even realize how cute you look. Kevin pulled covers from his head, only uncovering his eyes, Edd watched him, ok NOW you have only made yourself look cuter. Kevin then relaxed and Edd smiled at him.

"Edd…what happened? All I remember is you pulling off your teammates and…" Kevin stopped, he looked upset, like he was trying to remember but couldn't.

Edd dropped his face, leaning back in his chair, "they are no longer 'teammates' to me. I have not quit swimming," Edd paused, "not yet at least." Edd wasn't planning on quitting really. When he swam he was swimming because he wanted to, he forgot about his team, he didn't need them. Edd liked swimming fast during matches, he could have done without the audience, but moreover, Double D liked to swim. He did determine that if the other boys on his team continued to harass him AND Kevin, he would quit. He looked at Kevin who was staring at him. He tried to sit up but winced and Edd shot his hands out to help him. Kevin brought himself closer to him, "Double D…you need to swim, I don't want you to quit."

Edd's expression didn't change, he didn't want to talk about that with him yet, so he changed subjects, "Kevin, let me tell you what happened." Kevin sat up straight and gave him his full attention. He looked intrigues yet serious, Edd sighed, "Brian, the captain, and 5 other guys came to the conclusion that it was necessary I be taught a lesson by doing this to you," Edd gestured to Kevin. Kevin stiffened, he had bruises and cuts everywhere. Also included his bruised ribs, it made Edd's blood boil. He continued, "Due to the fact I was involved in a fight early on today, Dr. Scott basically gave me a presage, no more fights or else my suspension would be elongated and go on my permanent record."

"Double D that's great!" Edd watched him smiling, Kevin was so cute with a smile on his face. He became self-conscious once more as he blushed. Though his smile was gone, it brought a blush to his cheeks.

Edd chuckled and Kevin spoke again, "Well…what about today? You don't look hurt…?" Kevin looked at him, as if trying to find any damages done.

Edd lost his smile, Kevin suddenly fixed his expression more intently. "I am fine, I only wore them out, I did my best not to kill them," his voice became rigid thinking about the fight. God he wanted to do a number on them, thinking about it now started making him feel on edge. "I talked to Dr. Scott right after I brought you here, he is finding the boys and, hopefully, disciplining them adequately." And by adequate I mean suspended for the rest of their natural born lives.

It got quiet then, he figured Kevin was taking all of that in. He was hoping Kevin didn't want to leave him because of what happened, thought he couldn't blame him. Kevin spoke softly, "I'm glad that's been settled…your mom is nice."

Edd stiffened, he was hoping Kevin wouldn't have asked him about that, Edd stared at him. He felt like he scared Kevin. He was just shocked Kevin said something so personal. He thought Kevin knew that he didn't like talking about his parents, Edd really didn't. Double D liked to think of himself as a loner, sort of like an orphan. Talking about his parents was quite a challenge. Kevin's heart monitor shot up again, "I-I'm sor-ry I just," Kevin tried to explain himself, He was cute when he was flustered. Edd placed his head face down on Kevin's bed, hiding the blush in his cheeks. He sighed heavily waiting to calm down, not seem so tense and most importantly get rid of his red face. After he thought it was safe he turned his head and looked at Kevin.

He tried not to look at him, he was afraid he would either blush or tense up again. "My parents are surgeons as I am certain I have told you and the rest of the cul-de-sac once before. My mother kept her maiden name whereas my father and I kept the name 'Vincent'." Kevin nodded, realizing why her name was 'Stevens' instead of 'Vincent'. Edd remembered his mother from years ago. Her hair was shorter and she had less wrinkles. She had been working at the hospital for a few years. She got a call and she had to go to work, another patient. His mother and father were the best surgeons in the area. Lots of people went to them for many things. He never had to, he always went to Dr. Jamie mostly because she was actually there. Double D remembered the only time he got an injury, his mother looked at him. It was a sprained arm, she didn't bring him to the hospital, she fixed his arm with what she had and told him he would be alright. And that was that.

"That's why when I perceived her approach me I considered the worst…" Edd kept his eyes down, even though his parents were the best in the area, Kevin having to go through surgery scared him half to death. HE was so fragile and small. He looked back up at him, Kevin looked so worried and tired, Edd thought about the worst again, and tried to stop a shudder from producing. He couldn't imagine life without him, he didn't think anyone could imagine life without him.

Kevin bent over and placed his forehead on Double D's, he closed his eyes. Edd couldn't help but look at him, "thank you for saving me Edd…" Edd blushed, your not supposed to make me blush, that's my job. Edd brought his hand up to Kevin's head and shook his ginger hair, "pleasure is all mine pumpkin~". Kevin opened his eyes and Edd grinned as he saw Kevin's face blush.

He pulled away, "w-where were you when you knew about the situation." Edd closed his eyes, he knew Kevin was curious, but thinking about the fight made him feel so tired. "Home, I had just arrived when Marie had sent me a message foretelling me the situation." Oh right, he didn't thank Marie, "I must thank her next time I see her."

There was a knock on the door and they both looked up. Edd was expecting the doctor, when Marie, Nazz, and Nat entered. Edd chuckled, "speak of the devil". Edd didn't believe in pre-cognition, but he seemed to be rather good at foretelling the future.

"Kevin!" Nat and Nazz embraced his ginger tightly. Edd hear him winced in pain, but Kevin was smiling. As much as he wanted to pull them off so they weren't hurting him, he knew Kevin wanted to hug them. They did step back and apologize, Edd relaxed. A nurse entered them, "I am sorry to disappoint but you folks have 5 more minutes before Mr. Barr needs to be alone." They all nodded and she left. Edd didn't want to leave Kevin's side while he was healing.

Double D sat there in a daze while Nazz and Nat asked Kevin many questions. Double D would answer for Kevin while Marie threw some stuff in.

Nazz giggled, "Damn Kevin, a knight in shining armour by your side, romantic". Edd glared at her, Double D was NOT romantic. He did want to make Kevin feel special and happy, but when he was seen as a 'knight in shining armour', they had crossed the line.

Marie got serious then, and looked at Edd, "D.C. high won the match today."

Edd only nodded, "as expected." Edd knew that without him and half the team they didn't stand a chance. Kevin looked at him, puzzled. Edd sighed, realizing Kevin didn't know about the match. Nazz decided to explained, "Double D had a match against another high school today, but uh…he didn't go."

Double D, was looking away. He knew Kevin would put the pieces together, soon enough. Kevin gasped and looked at him, "Oh my God, I am so sorry! I didn't mean for this to happen! I-"

Edd hugged him then a bit too roughly he thought. Kevin stopped talking. It wasn't Kevin's fault that this happened, and he hated to think that's how Kevin saw it. The others turned away snickering quietly.

"By no means should you repent, for anything…I should be the one to contrite my actions. I should have remained to make sure you went un-harmed." Edd embraced him tighter, he didn't want Kevin to say those things. Kevin never did anything wrong, he was the kind of guy to help.

"Double D, I'm ok because of you." Edd's face quickly turned red.

"AWWWWW." Edd turned and glared at his three friends. They turned away once again snickering. The door opened then and the nurse showed them out. Edd waited as long as he could, he didn't want to leave Kevin.

"I will be in the waiting room until the release you."

Kevin raised an eyebrow, "Edd we don't know when that could be." Double D shook his head, "I don't care." He watched Kevin closely, he could see that he wouldn't win this. Seeing him in front of him, alive, made Edd smile and he hug him again, "you scared me." Edd couldn't tell if Kevin was blushing, he assumed so. Edd couldn't wait, he brought his lips to Kevin's. It was a small peck but it still made Kevin's heart monitor go crazy. Edd was glad he wasn't hooked up to one, it would have had the same reaction.

Edd chuckled as he left the room, "Se sentir mieux citrouille". Edd smiled as he left the room, but as soon as the door was closed, his face fell and leaned against the wall, trying to keep himself up.

"I didn't realize you were that close with your friends." Edd shot up, and saw his mother staring at him. She didn't look as mad as she had been, but she was not happy. Edd realized she had seen him kiss Kevin. Shit. Edd rubbed the back of his neck and looked down at his short mother.

"You won't tell dad right?" Edd didn't want to look so vulnerable, but he plead with his eyes, begging her.

"We'll see."

Edd took another deep breath, "I inquired your son about his status for homecoming." Kevin quickly snapped Double D's mouth shut, he was shaking. He felt a bit angry, but more frightened then anything. He looked back at his parents, eyes wide. Edd gently took Kevin's hand from his mouth. Kevin looked back at him, Edd was smiling.

His father stepped forward, and Kevin thought Edd was done for, "You asked my son to homecoming." His father didn't say it as a question, it was more of a fact. Edd rigidly nodded, he wasn't smiling but he did try to maintain an apologetic expression.
