Acceptance

"Dorks." Kevin's eyes narrowed as he stood, his feet firmly on the ground. Slamming his tray on the lunch table, he sat down. "I'm sitting here from now on," he confirmed with a firm head shake. "If you have a problem, move."

Edd's cheeks began to warm up, this wasn't what he mean by nicely coming over here. Kevin suggested coming out to their friends, Edd's friends came first. Seeing Eddy give him a look, he looked away. "I-I... I-I have something to tell you two... He felt something warm grab his hand, looking over, he noticed Kevin smiling as he ate his own food. Double D found the courage to smile, he looked back over to the two. "Kevin and I are now dating. As a couple, we believe that he should be able to sit here. Seeing his friends still hate us for the whole Prom prank, he thought it would be a better idea to sit here."

Eddy's jaw dropped, pretty far two. "No fucking way!" He surprised the other with a smile, "Hell, I was wondering when you'd finally get some. I thought you'd grow up to have ten cats and die alone." He looked at Kevin and soon frowned, "Though I despise you completely, If you make Sockhead happy, you make me happy." He looked back over at Edd, "How long have you been dating?"

Edd poked at his food, "A while now... Two months... and a half..." He hated the fact that they kept to themselves for that long, he was relieved that they were finally confessing their secrets. Glancing over at the table of football players, he noticed some glaring their way. Swallowing hard, he knew that they were going to be harder in accepting them. Swallowing down what he had, he looked back towards Kevin, by the gingers expression, he knew the same thought had crossed his mind. How were they going to bring this up? Biting his lip, he shook his head. He was afraid.

Kevin gave the other's hand another squeeze, "Nazz knows, she'll back us up." He said softly. "I know some will disagree, but there are some on the team that wont care." His lips pursed together, "If you're really that worried about it, I'm willing to go tell them alone." He offered, his thumb lightly rubbing against his hand reasurringly.

Double D smiled, his heart warming at the gesture. "I think I'll be okay. Worst case scenario, we get hurt. All wounds heal eventually..." He mumbled. Offering the rest of his lunch to Ed, he stood up. "Let's go do this now, just to get it over with." A smile game to his lips, "As long as you are here with me, I know everything will be okay."

Eddy groaned, his hand pressed to his face. "Do you not realize how corny that sounds? Ugh, I can feel my lunch coming back up, I'm going to hurl." He gagged and pretended to throw up, much to Kevin's dismay. "If those blockheads have an issue with your loving of dicks, just come to us. We'll beat them up, right Lumpy?" He elbowed Ed who had been quiet this entire time.

Edd rose a brow and noticed Ed wasn't even eating as ravishly as he usually would be. Instead, the taller Ed was looking elsewhere from the table. "Ed?" He repeated, wondering what was on the other's mind.

Ed blinked before looking over at them. Letting out a goofish laugh, he slapped Eddy on the shoulder. We'll beat them up Double D." He nodded.

Double D pursed his lips together, he still wondered what the other had been looking at. Deciding to look over where the other had been staring, he noticed Rolf staring their way. Brows raising, he looked back at Ed. The other's cheeks were tinted pink, his smile returned. Seemed Ed was going through something similar to his own issues. "Shall we go?" He asked Kevin.

Kevin pulled him up alongside him, "Yes." He nodded and led him away from the table. Glancing over at Edd, he could see the nervousness returning. Squeezing the others hand, he smiled. Turning back, his feet stopped. Brows furrowing, his smile quickly vanished. Right across from them was Chad, a scowl on the others face. "What's up guys?" He asked, forcing a smile.

The table went silent, all of their eyes went to the couple.

Edd squirmed, Kevin kept his composure. Sitting down, he made room for Edd. "I'm gone for one lunch and it seems like its been a while."

"Probably because we didn't think you were a fag."

Edd stiffined at the word, he looked at the speaker. Seeing Chad glaring at him, he looked away.

Kevin rose his brows, a smirk formed. "Is that what you all think? I'm a fag?" Looking at all of the team members, he noticed some with same expressions. "You know though, atleast I'm a happy fag." He lifted their combined hands to show them all, "I'm in love."

"I support you man." One of the team members piped up, sipping from his straw in his milk.

"Me too."

Edd watched as they all agreed except Chad. He felt the guy next to him elbow him and smile. They were all accepting them, he couldn't believe it. Sure Chad disagreed but there was always that bump in the road. Smiling, he looked at Kevin. The red head was laughing, listening to his friends jokes. Smiling to himself, he found himself laughing with the others. Who would have thought that something as simple as a senior prank would give him the chance to get with Kevin. At last, he finally felt accepted.
