Note:First Kiss. Also, I feel like asexual Edd is canon-Edd. Also, Asexuality is really a lot more complicated and in depth than what it seems. And, in the reality shows my mom watches and then the family comedy types, I only ever see stereotypical gay men. I don't think I've ever seen just like, a dude who likes guys and can't tell one shoe from another. /rant

I own nothing!

In contrast to popular belief, their first kiss had not been some kind of act of realization or some romantic gesture from one to impress the other. In fact, it had just been an experiment at first.

Kevin, after having 'weird' thoughts since the beginning of his Junior year of high school, getting flushed as he watched Robert Downey Jr. play in the Iron Man films, and even after that one time when he'd caught himself staring and almost drooling at a random guy at the grocery store with his mother, believed himself to be utterly gay for guys. He couldn't remember every catching himself staring at any girls or women and he'd dreamed of that guy's backside multiple times so he was pretty sure.

Edd, on the other hand, was confused and unsure of what his hormones were trying to tell him.

He'd been a late bloomer, or so said his mother. He hadn't had any sexual thoughts or urges even into his Senior year of high school. He hadn't even known what love was until he'd taken health class that he'd come to understand that the attraction between a man and a woman was love.

But Edd had never thought of a girl in the way that his textbook had described attraction so the confused boy began researching and came to the conclusion that he was just asexual – one to not have sexual urges. To the nineteen year old boy who had had not one wet dream or even an inkling of a twinge in his stomach it made perfect sense. He just did not have the basic urges that others felt, he was already different, so why not be just a little bit more?

In his second year of community college, Kevin found himself becoming good friends with Eddward, one of the dorks he'd tormented when they were kids. The other two dorks, Ed and Eddy, didn't go to the local college and had drifted apart after the end of high school.

One day, completely on accident, Kevin had let slip that he was gay. Not the kind of gay he saw on television all the time with extremely effeminate guys who were into fashion and stuff. He just liked the male form. A lot.

Eddward nodded to him and expressed that he had no qualms to Kevin's preference. He even told the red-head his own thoughts.

"I believe myself yo be asexual, so you don't need to worry over feeling unaccepted." Edd smiled at Kevin. "We live in a sexualized world and I sometimes feel a bit left out or pressured. But, I'm glad you have found what you like and have accepted it."

Kevin, taken aback and feeling somewhat miffed that Edd had one-upped him in such a way, patted the other guy's shoulder. "Well," he said, "how'd you figure out you're asexual? Then again, I guess that makes sense for you. I don't think I could picture you with either a boy or a girl. Or both."

Eddward blushed. "Well, I just realized that I've never had any urges, as you may call them. I've done experiments, perusing Eddy's magazine collection and I even did an online search for male models to use, but even when I used a large variation of skin colour to hair type, I just could not feel anything."

"So, like… You don't do it?" Kevin glanced down and then back up. Eddward jumped and blushed again.

"Though I do find that kind of information to be personal and not to be discussed in public, yes, I do masturbate. It is a healthy part of a human's life and has nothing to do with whether I feel attracted to someone or not." Eddward turned up his nose and moved so he faced away from Kevin.

The athlete laughed. "Okay, okay. Don't get your panties in a bunch. Calm down. But, I have one last question."

"Proceed," Edd said after a moment. He looked back over his shoulder curiously.

"Have you ever tried kissing someone to see if you liked them or not? Like, to see if there was a spark or some shit?"

Eddward frowned at the language. "No. I don't think I can say I have."

"Well," Kevin said, leaning in. "Do you think you may want to try? As an experiment. You've done lots of experiments so…" He pressed his lips to Edd's and lingered for a moment.

When he sat back, Edd's cheeks were bright red and he was flustering about with his hands and looking every which way, but at Kevin.

"I-I think I'll have to assess the information before giving you a proper response," Edd said quickly as he jumped up to leave. Kevin smirked as he walked away.

His lips were still tingling by the time Edd had long since left the patio area.
