Property Line

Chapter 14

A/N: This chapter takes place directly right after the previous chapter! Enjoy~

The party was going to be Friday. Kevin got the permission of his parents to hold a party at their house while Edd received permission to attend. Edd noticed he's been going to parties a lot. He figured it was the reward for being around Kevin a lot. He enjoyed parties, but could handle being alone. Sometimes the party would get too awkward if he didn't have anyone to talk to. Kevin barely let that happen though. He tried to get Edd involved with the party as much as possible.

Except for that last party where he secretly left.

That decision was a stupid one when Edd looks back at it, but now he was glad he did it.

If he didn't, maybe he and Kevin wouldn't be dating.

Every morning, Kevin and Edd went to school together regardless what people thought. It was just a bike ride, and they both agreed there was nothing wrong with it. As soon as people saw more of it happening, they got less interested in the gossip, and continued on with their daily lives.

Friday came closer than everyone imagined.

Edd met with Kevin at his locker and started to talk about funny things that happened to him in chemistry class. Kevin, half listening in the conversation, looked around if the coast was clear.

The halls were basically empty at this point. Everyone rushed home on Fridays, but the school was cleared out since many were heading to the party later.

Edd laughed to himself about how some classmate sang a song about the periodic table that caused everyone to join in. He was cut off with soft lips that belonged to Kevin. He jumped back, cheeks turning pink.

"K-Kevin?! How vulgar!"

Kevin grabbed his wrist and pulled him closer. "C'mon, I had to play secret agent all week. No one's watching now." He leaned in for another kiss, longer than the previous one.

Edd whimpered and returned the kiss daringly. He felt worried he would get caught, but couldn't resist the temptation of Kevin's sweet lips. Kevin pushed him back against the lockers and deepened the kiss by slyly slipping in his tongue. Edd's eyes squeezed shut and let Kevin take the lead, unsure what to do in a moment like this.

A group of people was heard from down the hall. Kevin groaned in the kiss and then softly nibbled on Edd's bottom lip before departing. Edd's face completely flushed, knees weak, lips tingled. As the group came closer, Edd sunk to the floor and covered his face with his hat. Kevin laughed as he grabbed a folder to rummage through.

The group passed by and glanced at Kevin and Edd but said nothing. They were people who weren't interested in nonsense.

Once they disappeared, Kevin closed his folder and stuffed it in his bag. He slammed his locker shut and looked down at his hiding boyfriend.

"Yo, let's go."

No response.

"Too much to handle?" He chuckled.

No movements.

Kevin smirked with an idea. "If you don't hurry up, I'll attack you right here."

Edd pushed his hat up and startlingly stared at Kevin with wide eyes. He managed to get up and haul the weight of his jacket, and moved along to the stairs, speed walking away from Kevin.

Kevin pouted. "No fun, dork!"

Edd helped Kevin set up for the party. People were bringing things, but Kevin had to fix tables and move around furniture. The Christmas tree was still up, which added a seasonal effect to the party.

Edd wore something casual like a sweater vest and skinny jeans while Kevin wore his signature hoodie and shorts. They both had on their respective hats and waited for people to come in.

Slowly, one by one, people arrived. Kevin welcomed the guests and Edd talked to some.

"You're here early, Double Dee." A cheerleader smirked.

"Why yes, I do live across the street from Kevin. It would be illogical to come in rather late." Edd smiled.

The cheerleader analyzed Edd before she foxily walked away.

Kevin's house was almost full with basketball, football, and baseball members and cheerleaders. Nazz was around mingling with her friends, while Edd and Kevin were informing each other if they needed more plates or not. Kevin handed Edd a cup of punch that he gratefully accepted.

Everything seemed fine and dandy until the door busted open with Gavin, Rick and Dylan.

"Sorry we're late!" Rick called out.

Gavin and Dylan laughed and started to talk with their friends. They looked over the crowd of friends and spotted Edd in his black beanie.

"Found him." Gavin murmured to himself. He cleared his throat and Dylan looked over at the signal. He followed Gavin's eyes and found Edd somewhere in the crowd.

"Of course he's next to Kevin." Dylan mumbled. He made his way over and pushed himself against the nerd. He managed to do it just in time Edd was sipping his drink, therefore spilling all over his torso. "Whoops! Sorry!" Dylan laughed and then disappeared in the crowd.

"Those fuckers!" Kevin growled as he glared at Dylan.

Edd shook his head and stood in front of Kevin, stopping any more actions. "No! You mustn't!" Edd ceased. "It's fine. I'll change into a new shirt at home."

Kevin shook his head. "I have some hoodies upstairs. Just change into that."

Edd blinked. "Are you sure?"

Kevin sighed. "Yeah, if they do something again, at least it's mine and not yours. I know you like your things clean." He smirked. "Come on." Kevin grabbed Edd's wrist and led him upstairs.

Eyes followed. Mumbling started to evolve from the whispers.

"I can't believe those fuckers just had to do that!" Kevin roared in his room.

Edd stood by the door. "It's fine, Kevin. I'm sure it was an accident."

"Accident their birth." He mumbled.

"Kevin! Cease your words! You can't be involved in another fight among the same people."

Kevin groaned pulled out an orange hoodie and held it up. "This fine?"

Edd smiled softly. "Yes, I fancy the color."

Kevin rolled his eyes. "Such a dork." He walked over to his boyfriend and carefully pushed him against the door. "Here, let me help you with that." He tugged on the edge of Edd's vest and pulled it above his head, then yanked it off of him.

"W-Wait Kevin!"

"Just shut up." He fumbled with the shirt that was underneath and teasingly ran his hand up his abdomen. He leaned in with a forceful kiss that melted Edd against his will. Kevin pulled the shirt over his head and carelessly threw it on the floor.

Edd tried to resist, but couldn't overpower Kevin and his firm muscles. After Kevin slipped in his tongue in, Edd managed to push Kevin away.

"K-Kevin! This is inappropriate! You have a party going on downstairs!"

Kevin shrugged, as if he didn't know there was one taking place. "So? They can manage by themselves."

"Kevin." Edd crossed his arms and gave a look.

Kevin looked down at his lips and leaned in closer, centimeters away from another kiss. "Come on, don't be like that." He gave a sweet peck on Edd's cheek that caused Edd to soften a bit. Still, Edd put on a brave front.

"Kevin, not now, okay?" Edd covered his bare chest and took this hoodie from Kevin's hands. He pulled the shirt over his head and slid it on. He fixed his hat and looked in the mirror to fix any hairs that were sticking out. "Now, let's head back downstairs. They're waiting for us."

Kevin groaned and nodded. They left Kevin's room and headed back downstairs. Many people were staring at them.

"What took you guys so long?" A cheerleader whined.

"Sorry about that. Edd was very picky about what to wear." Kevin chuckled. Edd shot a look at Kevin and rolled his eyes.

"Oh please! On the contrary, you were being stubborn and wouldn't let me wear what I wanted."

Kevin rolled his eyes too. "Sorry Madam Jung. I thought you were just going to go with the flow."

Edd scoffed and walked away. Some guests disregarded how long they took and continued their fun, while still had their own suspicions.

The party resumed without any more mishaps.

The week after the party, people started to calm down about the rumors since Kevin and Edd acted as if they weren't true. To make things more casual, Edd didn't eat lunch with Kevin all the time. He ate with Ed and Eddy at other times and then returned at Kevin's table. Also, the two of them would avoid each other at school, but when they returned to the cul-de-sac, they acted their usual self. They still went to school together. No one bothered them about it though. No one dare bring it up.

Until the following week. Edd ate with Kevin on Tuesday at the usual table. Today's lunch was sloppy joe, and Kevin dared to eat the mystery meat.

Kevin took a large bite of his lunch and pieces of meat stuck to the corners of his lips. Edd groaned and pulled out a napkin.

"Kevin, do not eat so sloppily." He wiped Kevin's mouth and folded the napkin neatly. "It's bad-mannered."

"Thanks, mom." Kevin mumbled.

"And don't eat with your mouth full!"

Kevin ignored the teen and continued to eat however he wanted. Edd watched him make a mess out of himself and would wipe his mouth when he got really sloppy.

A football player stared. "You guys always act so weird."

Kevin and Edd turned their attention to the athlete.

"How?" Kevin asked with food in his mouth.

"I don't know, like you two are dating or something."

Edd and Kevin sat there silently. This was the first someone actually brought it up.

"Why aren't you guys saying anything?" A cheerleader questioned, covering her mouth in shock.

"No way!" Another cheerleader squealed. "It's true?!"

All of them exploded into chatter and debates.

"Told you these guys are gay!" Rick pointed.

Kevin stood up. "Woah, wait, just cause we were silent, doesn't mean anything. What are we supposed to say to that?" Kevin wiped his mouth. "Didn't you guys assume the same thing a few weeks ago? Like, c'mon guys." Kevin crossed his arms.

Half of the table nodded and agreed what Kevin was saying was true. The other half of the table exchanged looks and wasn't persuaded.

Edd gulped and ignored the matter.

But not for long.

After school, Edd opened his locker to grab his textbook. Pieces of paper fell from the top of his locker to the bottom. He picked them up and unfolded them then began to read them in his mind.

"Leave Kevin alone!" "Know your place, DORK." "You're so fucking gross." "How much did you pay Kevin? LOL"

His stomach clenched and he felt pale. These little notes scared him, but the one that stood out the most was,

"You're done, faggot."
