Double Dee kissed me. It felt...good. It felt amazing. It was like I had been sleeping and now I was being woken up from a deep slumber. His lips pressed against mine firmly but gently at the same time. My hand drifted from his shoulders to his hip, I lightly squeezed. He moaned low in his throat. And I have to be honest, it was a turn on. I wanted to hear it all the time. I felt his hand slide into my hair, knocking my already lopsided hat off my head completely. He tugged slightly and I moaned, nipped his lip in return. Before we could go further, he pulled away. I looked into his hazy, lust filled blue eyes. He had a small smile on his face. And I smiled back. I liked his smile. For just this one moment, he was happy. And I wanted to make him happy all the time.

"Do you wanna get out of here?" I asked him, hope filling the space between us. "Yeah. I do."
"Choice. Lunch?"
"With you? Yes."
I don't think my smile could have gotten any bigger than it did at this moment. Jumping off the bed, I grabbed his hand. We ran straight towards the door and grabbed our shoes. I caught Princess and Rave looking at us out of the corner of their eyes. Rave had a smile on his face while Princess looked neutral. Laughing, we ran out the door and across the street to my bike. We put on our helmets and jumped on.

"You know, Princess. If I didn't know any better, Kevin may have successfully nabbed his crush."

"Or he took him out of the house because we're all smothering him."

"That too. Oh look. A text from Kevin. He's asking about blue drapes for Dee's room downstairs."

"Tell him to grab them. Dee will love them. Oh, and tell him to grab a green duvet. Dee will absolutely love that."

Rave sent off a few texts and closed out the message. "Done and done." He said. He looked rather cheerful, considering his demeanor and all around bad attitude towards things. But over the last few months, he'd grown a soft spot for the redhead and the dork. He secretly shipped them. No one could deny the love that was growing between the two boys.

Lunch was had at Dee's favorite Japanese restaurant, Kyoto's Japanese Cuisine. After sushi and sodas, they headed up the street to a local shop that handmade everything from curtains to bedsheets. Not seeing anything Dee liked, they hit up another store. He found a few items he really liked. Kevin took his phone out and texted Rave.

Kevin: Hey. Dee found some curtains he likes. They match his eyes. Is that weird?
Rave: No. That's not weird. I assume Nat or Princess snuck their cards into your wallet before you took off today. Get the curtains.
Kevin: Choice! And I think they both slipped me their card.
Rave: Get the curtains, a green duvet (comforter), some new clothes for our dork, maybe some bedroom accessories, bed sheets.
Kevin: Okay. Anything else?
Rave: Yes. Go to the jewelry department and ask for Rave. They'll give you a package. Charge it to Princess, not Nat.
Kevin: Aye aye, Captain!
Rave: Ha ha. You're hilarious. Get what he needs. Enjoy!

I looked at Dee out of the corner of my eye. He seemed genuinely happy. I think he was just happy to be out of the house, away from everyone. Especially Eddy. That guy was a little insensitive earlier. And I could tell Dee was hurt when he went to his parent's room to clear it. But the only things left were the bed, the dresser, some other things, and a photo book. When he didn't come back after an hour, I went to check on him. He was curled around the book and he was crying. I hate it when he cries. I want to see him happy, loved, and cared for.

When he kissed me, something changed. And I knew I wanted him. So I took him out for lunch and we just hung out. He held my hand during all of it. I liked it. I liked it a lot.

We were home four hours later. Somehow we had managed to get some of the bags to fit into the saddle bags and the rest he had to hold onto. The other stuff was being delivered later. I made sure to go by the jewelry and ask for Rave, like he wanted me to. Not exactly sure why, but I got what he wanted. A single package no bigger than my hand. I wondered what Nat would be opening later.

Bags in tow, we headed up the driveway to the door, where it was promptly thrown open by Amber. Jessi Anne was trying to calm her down.

"Amber! It's just a tomato! There's more in the fridge! You can cut one up and use that one!"

"Jessi! That isn't the point! He took my tomato, the whole tomato, and ate it like it was a fruit!"

Jessi Anne looked at Amber. "Amber, darling, tomatoes are a fruit."

Amber stared at Jessi Anne until they both broke out into laughter. We watched as the girls walked inside, not noticing us until we walked in behind them.

"Oh shit!" Jessi Anne.
"What're you guys doing home so early?!" Amber.
"Fuck! They're home?!" Sandy, Nat's little sister.
"Well damn. I thought we had more time." Krissy.
"Ladies. Y'all really thought, that in the four hours they were gone, we'd be finished by now? Pfft. No!" Devy, she was probably by far my favorite Sisterwife. Aside from Princess and her cohort Nat, who were also part of the Queen Squad. What that was, I couldn't tell you.

Dee and I looked around. The walls were painted in every color of the rainbow. Pictures were hung around the house. The place looked like a home, a home where you knew someone lived in it. Putting the bags on the kitchen table, I looked over at Edd. He had tears in his eyes. I walked over and wrapped him in a hug, which he returned. From against my chest, he looked at everyone and said, "I honestly couldn't ask for better friends than you guys. And I am so grateful that I have you. If I didn't, I don't know where I might be or what I might have done." He let a few tears roll down his face before he looked up at me. "And thank you, Kevin, for being there when I needed you." He stood on his tip toes and kissed me again. I returned the kiss with almost everything I had, I say almost because if I had put everything into it, I don't think anyone would be very happy with the, uh, display of extreme affection. (AN: Hahahahahahah! Oh god that was great.)

We heard shouts of "Get a room!" "Yeah, Kevin! Get you some!" "Awe! Double Dee and Kevin! They're so adorable!" "Where's my sandwich?!"

Amber sure did know how to make a moment either awkward or just really funny.
