A/N: I know I said longer chapters, but yeah... that's not gonna happen with ALL of them LOL.

Enjoy!


Just by stepping on the land, Kevin knew that Thessaloniki, Greece was really going to be something. He didn't really know why he chose to go there. Greece just sparked a sort of interest in him. Maybe it was just the cool name, Thessaloniki. He liked saying it. And with summer winding down, the air was fresh and warm, relaxing, calming—beautiful. The two had already decided they would definitely stay for the harvest fest and activities since they had read much about it before landing.

As always, the first place they headed to was a hotel to check-in. Hyatt Regency was a reasonably sized hotel that had a villa house style to it. The lobby was similar to the Hotel De Paris one, except, there wasn't much such a large space and there were more couches, giving it a cozy living room feel.

Edd and Kevin decided on a suite for this hotel, upgrade to something bigger than their last room. The suite was the decent size; lounge area complete with the Greek decor of a vintage orange couch, slightly beige sofa, glass coffee table in the middle. There rested a 19" inch television on a small dresser and off to the corner was what appeared to be a work area—table fit for studying with desk chairs and a lamp. The bedroom wasn't too large, the huge king size bed took up most of the space.

There was indeed only one bed.

The bathroom was Edd's favorite. It came with a marble and granite bath with a walk-in shower and he just imagined how well one could cleanse themselves in that, which gave him the sudden urge to try and figure it out for himself. While he showered, Kevin walked back into the lounge and indulged in some television. He allowed himself to sink into the couch, which felt much more soft than it looked, and he thought back to the past months with Double D.

It felt strange, really, how everything came so easy to him with the sockhead. Nothing was ever easy for him, but somehow, Double D made everything seem like it was no big deal, like life was actually simple. It sounded corny, but Kevin didn't really know how else to see it. That's just exactly how it was.

So deep in his thoughts, the redhead didn't realize Double D had finished his shower and was now sitting at the desk, looking up something on his laptop, but when he finally did, he raised his eyebrows to see Edd wearing a robe. Edd looked up from the screen and smiled softly before realizing what Kevin was staring at. The sockhead looked down at the white robe and chuckled.

"Complimentary bath robes," he said with such pride as he grinned and Kevin smirked.

"Is it comfortable?"

"Oh, yes, very."

"So, what are you looking up?" Kevin asked as he got up from the couch and walked over to Edd's side.

"A website that gives us all the information of the things we can see and do here. I was thinking we can start today with visiting the Byzantine walls." The sockhead moved the laptop enough for Kevin to fully see the picture he was looking at.

Kevin grinned and nodded. "Cool. Yeah, let's go."

"Wouldn't you like to eat something first?"

Hearing that, the redhead couldn't stop himself from laughing. He wasn't even surprised that question was asked. After practically living with Kevin for months, of course Edd knew almost everything already.

"It's like you read my mind," Kevin humored him and Edd replied with a smile.


The two stopped at the first place they saw—Lena's Bistro. They ate their food, shared a conversation over the things they wanted to do in Greece, and Edd watched as Kevin indulged himself in some drinks. He tried to get the sockhead to join him, but really, Edd was in no mood to drink any alcohol, at least not at that moment. Kevin also managed to start up conversations with random strangers. No surprise there.

But unlike Megan and Nathan, he didn't become friends with them. He just said his goodbyes, they told him to enjoy his trip, and he left with Edd. The two headed over to the Byzantine walls where Double D immediately took out his camera and began snapping shots of, what seemed like, every inch of the damn thing. The locals who were merely passing by raised their eyebrows questioningly at them. The redhead just stood by, rubbing the back of his neck. Could they look anymore like tourists?

Double D didn't mind their stares. He was too caught up in the beauty, and after finally rolling his eyes and shrugging it off, Kevin joined in Double D's excitement. The walls were... fascinating. Old, rusty castle walls.

"Just imagine how wonderful these must have looked when they were first built," Double D said.

Kevin did think about it and smiled. "Pretty rad."

Edd blinked and looked over Kevin. "Yes, that could be the word to describe it." He took a few more shots, before asking Kevin to take one of him standing in front of it.

Then he insisted Kevin be in a picture, too.

"No way, man," he protested. "I hate pictures."

"I suppose that's why you always posed so proudly every time the yearbook club ask for photos."

Kevin sighed. Double D wins again.

"Okay, whatever," Kevin said. "Just one, though."

Double D nodded, but once the redhead stood in front of the walls, Double D took more than just one picture.

"Hey!" Kevin growled. "I said one."

Edd just giggled and shrugged innocently. "Oh, my mistake. I must have misheard you."

"Ha-ha, very funny." But Kevin couldn't resist. He sauntered over to the sockhead's side and placed a swift kiss on his lips. "So, what now?"

Edd faced him and raised an eyebrow. "What would you like to do?"

"I don't know. You're the expert."

"You chose to come to Greece."

"I know, but... I... it was really just so I could say I went here."

Double D tilted his head. "You're serious?"

Kevin grinned and resisted his laughter, but it came out anyway. Double D didn't understand what was so humorous, so he just stared at the redhead and waited until he was done. Kevin continued laughing, but he could see the confusion in his boyfriend's eyes, and that made everything... not so funny anymore.

"Okay, I'm good," he said, clearing his throat.

Edd smiled. "Perhaps we could drop by a store and send our friends another postcard?"


They returned to the hotel after buying the postcards and just like before, they scribbled down their messages.

Kevin wrote to Nazz: Hey Nazz. Another card from me because this dork keeps insisting we buy these. Hope you like it and also hope that you're having fun. You better come home when I do so I can see you, alright? I'll have a lot to talk to you about by then. Love you, Nazz.

And to Rolf: Rolf, my man! How's Wilfred? I'm guessing good, same with you. You take care of yourself, and make sure to keep Eddy in check. I'll admit that I miss you and your crazy words, but don't tell anyone that or I'll pound ya. Ha, which probably wouldn't even go well for me in the end, though. I'll send you another postcard from the next place we go. Later.

Double D wrote to Eddy: Greetings from Thessaloniki, Greece. Oh, isn't it wonderful that I'm here? It's as beautiful as everywhere else. This experience has been nothing but perfection. The only thing missing is you and Ed to experience it with me. Yes, if you two were here, that would definitely make this a little more perfect. Well, speak to you soon, my friend.

And to Ed: Salutations, Ed. I trust that you're doing quite well and that you are not overeating any buttered toast or gravy. You know that isn't very healthy for you. I'm staying at this very nice hotel, small and cozy. I'd think you'd love it. Take care, Ed.

The sockhead sighed after finishing that it caused Kevin to look up.

"That was a sad sigh," Kevin told him.

Edd faced him and shook his head. "Oh, no. It most certainly was not." He forced the corners of his lips to rise as he walked over and joined the redhead on the couch. Kevin wrapped his arm around him and moved him even closer to him. Double D rested his head on Kevin's shoulder and they sank into a comfortable silence as they watched whatever was on TV.


A/N: I'm actually going to ask for some help. What fanfic would you all like to read next after I'm done with this one?

- A scary(hopefully) fanfic that includes all of the EEnE characters.

- A fanfic about the Kanker sisters.

- Three's A Crowd sequel

Let me know! Eventually all of these fanfics will be posted, but I want to know which one you're more interested in reading sooner rather than later.

You can let me know on here or on tumblr, which is the same as my name on here. Heytheregisela.
