AN: Hello everyone! I'm sorry for the wait my mind is a dark place most of the time and It's hard to get my plot bunnies to hop out of their holes as I had to literally drag my muses up out of the clouds today! Lol Anyway I'd really appreciate it if people would stop asking me if I'm just going to end this story just because it's been a few months since an update. I will not be abandoning this story at all. It may take some time to finish but believe me you I want to see it to the end just as much as you guys do!

Bold: Text messages
It hadn't truly sunken in until a few hours after the raven had been forcefully taken from their home.
Him and Marie had swapped numbers and decided to brainstorm on ideas on how to help Double D at a later time when the shock of it all wasn't so strongly on their minds.
The auburn haired teen was currently sprawled across his bed his bare arm shielding his eyes from the dimness of his bedroom.
It was all majorly fucked up, every fucking single part of it.
This isn't how it was supposed to end.
He's not even sure he wanted...
Whatever it was he and the dork had between them to stop; let alone end forever.
Gods none of this made any sense...
His iphone 5s began to vibrate against the bed lighting up with a text message popping up on screen.
Peering over his arm he reached down his bed spread and picked up his cell phone, typing in the pass code to view the message.
Message From ( The Green Pervert) : Yo Kevvy how's Double Delicious? Naz said she saw his parents come home or something?
He groaned and ignored it, this was the last thing he needed right now, Nathan trying to help fix everything.
His phone buzzed again not even a minute later.
Message From ( The Green Pervert ) : Waiiii Keviiiiiiiiiinnnn please please talk to meeeeee I just wanna help! Come onnnnn
A few minutes more of ignoring his idiot of a best friend and another text another came in.
Message From ( Queen Nazz ) : Dude are you ignoring Nat? Cuz that's totally not cool man, all we wanna do is know what happened with Double D, everything's okay right?
Rubbing his face he groaned exasperatedly and quickly made a group text and typed rapidly.
Group Text To ( Queen Nazz, The Green Pervert) :
Edd was taken back by his asshole of a dad. Ma said there's really nothin' we can do unless we find evidence of abuse of somethin'
Group Message From (The Green Pervert) : The fuck?! You never told me Cutie D was abused man! Not cool!
Group Message From (Queen Nazz) : That's seriously horrible...abused like how? I mean...I've never seen him with bruises at school have you? :(
Group Text To (Queen Nazz, The Green Pervert) : Think about it Naz...ever since we were kids his parents were never home, he's the smallest outta all of us minus Jimmy. He's almost unhealthily skinny. I know some stuff about what's going on...but it really ain't my place to tell. If you wanna know anything maybe I can get Marie to come over and we can all talk. And Besides Nat I didn't really know about anything until recently...
Group Message From (The Green Pervert) : Marie...? As in that hot goth Kanker chick with the blue hair?
Group Message From (Queen Nazz) : Geez out of all of what Kevin said that's the one thing you pick up on Nat? She's Edd's best friend now right Kev?
Group Text To: (Queen Nazz, The Green Pervert) : Yeah Marie Kanker, the gothic Hottopic wannabe pain in my ass. She's a total bitch but she really cares for Double D I guess...
Before he could even get another text a small stone hits the outside glass of his closed window startling him into dropping his cell onto the bed.
Frowning he sits up and swivels his legs over the side of the bed he stands making his way toward the window.
Standing below dressed in just charcoal gray pajama pants with the batman insignia on them and a matching t-shirt stood the hunched form of Edd.
Kevin noted that he was shivering and hugging his arms inward against his body for warmth or perhaps security that he seriously longed to have.
Hurriedly opening his window the jock gapes down at him, "W-what the hell do you think you're doing?! It's freezing out! You don't even have on a jacket you dork!" He harshly whispered.
He was only rewarded with a watery smile as Edd simply stared up at him with red rimmed blue eyes.
Biting his lip he hurriedly pulled on his orange hoodie, "Stay right there I'm coming down...just..just don't leave okay?"
Edd nodded still remaining eerily silent.
Not even bothering to close his window the ex bully darted out of his room stumbling down the stairs and out the front door.
Edd was perched on salted front steps when he made it outside.
Getting a closer look at him in the porch lamp light the petite raven looked almost ghostly pale, his usual pink lips a pale imitation of his usual healthy looking complexion.
Pulling off his hoodie he places it around the younger boy's thin shoulders, "Fuck D how long have you been out here? You're freezing!"
The continued silence brought worry deep into his gut, "Edd?"
Tears filled Edd's eyes as he blinked them back and forcefully plastered on a smile that looked painful to look at, "I wanted to thank you."
Tugging at the corners of the orange hoodie pale fingers nimbly tucked the warm spicy scent of the olde taller boy into his senses.
"...Thank me? For what?" The older boy blinked in confusion.
A watery laugh erupts from pale lips, "For giving me happy family memories...for once in my life, I actually felt like I belonged somewhere you know? It was like I was actually apart of your family and that was really nice. I selfishly took the time for granted...it was so lovely and warm I suppose I let myself believe that maybe..." He trailed off and dabbed the back of his sleeve across his eyes.
Kevin felt speechless, he seriously didn't know what to say to that.
I mean he'd know it meant a lot to the dork to be included in their home and even something so small as family dinners, but he'd never expected it meant this much to him.
"Maybe what...?"
Edd looked down at the ground, "That maybe you'd end up liking me too...silly really you would never...couldn't ever...with someone like me you know? Besides you made it perfectly clear that you wanted nothing to do with me in that manner of speaki-"
The ravenette's words were cut off by a slamming of chapped lips clashing awkwardly with his own soft ones.
Teeth hit teeth in a clicking clack of an amateur lip lock for a moment before they figured which way to move their mouths.
The salty tang of Edd's tears intermingled against their lips.
"You talk too damn much you know that?" The jock muttered against the nerd's lips before pulling the teen onto his lap.
Flustered a bright pink Edd's cheeks felt as if they were on fire, "I...um...but you..." He managed out.
"Yeah well...I don't fucking know okay? I'm not gay but...with you it's different." Kevin muttered in an embarrassed fashion as he rested his chin atop the raven's head.
"...I don't understand...are you attracted to me?" Mumbled Edd as he leaned back into the warmth of the larger body around him.
"Let's not get too ahead of ourselves but...yeah...maybe...just a little." Kevin admits as he wraps his arms around the slight waist of the small teen on his lap.
Edd smiled serenely this time a real smile, "If that's all you've to offer...I suppose that's better than nothing."
"Dude you are so selfless it hurts my head..."
The younger of the two snorts, "I am just very used to not being chosen first...or at all for that matter...having you like me even in the teeny tiniest parts of your heart...is good enough for me. After all isn't that how love starts anyway?"
Love...
That word alone scared the crap outta him
But with Double D...maybe it wasn't such a bad thing?
This was such a chick flick moment.
And for once he couldn't bring himself to care.
"Can we pleaseeeeeeee pleaseeeeee pleaseeeeee go over now?!" Moaned Nat.
"Shhhh I'm not done recording it. Geez dude way to kill the moment man..." Muttered Nazz as she turned off her camera phone from video.
"This is so cute I just wanna huggle them...do you think they'd want a threesome?" The green haired teen waggled his eyebrows at the blond next to him as they peered through the bushes.
"Something tells me Kev wouldn't be the sharing type." Snorted the cheerleader.
"But...but..." Nat pouts.
"Just be happy you have the eye candy dude, don't be selfish." She whispers.
"Eye candy my fucking ass get outta my bushes you perverts!" Kevin yells over from the steps.
Edd just stares flabbergasted as he turns even more red.
Naz and Nathan tumble out of the bushes and walk over to the steps.
"Well if you'd have answered our texts we wouldn't have had to spy." Smirked Nazz.
"Yeahhh, leaving us hanging like that to go snuggling is so not fair Kevvy! I feel hug deprived! At least invtie me next time!" Nat whined.
Kevin growled, "No way dude."
Nazz snickered into her hand, "See I told you he's the possessive seme type."
"Seme...?" Blinked Edd.
"Oh for Christ's sake don't bring up the Japanese crap again!" Moaned the jock.
Nazz sniffed indignantly, "It's not "Japanese crap" Kevin, it's called Yaoi and it's hot as fuck."
"I second that." Nat grinned winking.
"What in the world is Yaoi?" Asked the genius teen in curiousity.
"You soooo don't wanna know." Shuddered Kevin.
"Oh sweetie I'll show you my whole collection sometime!" Bounced Nazz up and down as she smiled at Edd.
"Oh no you fucking won't he's too pure for that kinda shit." Glared the red head.
"He needs corrupting!" Nat chimed in, "Shall I corrupt him for you? You seem to be going at a snail's pace Kev."
"Touch him and I kick your ass."
"Oooh baby sounds fun."
Suddenly the porch light comes on from across the street at Edd's house making the raven bolt up off Kevin's lap.
"I...I gotta go!" He whispered out hurriedly before looking at Kevin quickly and then darting across the street and into the back yard of his home.
"...Well damn he looked pretty scared." Nazz speaks at last.
Nathan frowned and sat next to Kevin who had a conflicted amount of emotion ranging across his features.
"He must have snuck over to talk to me..." The red head voiced aloud.
"Poor guy." Nazz says sadly.
"His parents must be really strict or something." Nat says while scowling.
"Dude you don't know the half of it."
Settling into bed before his parents find him out of it he realizes he's still wearing Kevin's orange hoodie, which looks oversized on him.
Inhaling the cologne scent clinging to it he burrows underneath the covers clinging to the orange fabric.
Tomorrow starts the beginning of a great change in his life.
And for once he wasn't sure if he was going to listen to his parents this time around.
He hoped that he had the strength to actually follow his heart.
