Author's Note: This chapter is short because it wasn't supposed to exist in the first place. It's just to keep the plot going because I made a mistake. Anyways, here you go. Enjoy!
Chapter 36
When they finally got back on the road, Eddy had Ariel's phone number. He spent the majority of the drive texting her, Ed hanging over his shoulder and laughing at her messages. Nazz took the front seat again, singing along with Rolf to a band that Edd had never heard of and did not particularly care for. He and Kevin had switched positions from earlier; the redhead reclined on the seat with his head in Edd's lap, sound asleep. Edd read from his book, one hand absently smoothing the hair away from Kevin's face. He thought back on the events of the day and felt a sharp tug in the pit of his stomach. He smiled to himself. He quite enjoyed his little moments of dominance, and Kevin seemed to as well, but it was exhausting. He wasn't likely to try it again anytime soon. Tonight Kevin was planning on spending the night, and Edd was sure that things would be back to normal. He glanced down at the mark on Kevin's neck and covered a grin with his hand.
A few long hours later, Rolf parked the van in the cul-de-sac and jumped out to stretch his back. Ed clambered out and picked the farmer up in a crushing hug, twisting to pop Rolf's back. Rolf thanked him and pulled him around to the back to start unpacking, his hand lingering over Ed's. Eddy and Nazz got out to help as well. Edd pulled Kevin's hand up to his lips. The redhead stirred and yawned.
"Wake up, Kevin," Edd cooed. "We're home."
"Mmm…really? Choice." Kevin sat up and rubbed at his eyes. "Let's go, then."
He pulled Edd out of the van, picked their bags up from the back, nodded to Rolf and Nazz, and set off toward Edd's house. Edd protested, trying to pry Kevin's fingers from the front of his shirt.
"Kevin! We haven't said goodbye. I haven't thanked Rolf for inviting us! My friends…"
"They know you appreciate it. We've seen enough of them. Now unlock your door."
Once inside, Kevin followed Edd up to his room and watched from the bed as he put his belongings away. He held his arms out and Edd settled down beside him. They cuddled for a while, talking about nothing in particular. At one point, Kevin fell asleep again and Edd had to wake him to prevent him from disrupting his sleep schedule. Grinning, Edd stood and pulled Kevin out of bed.
"Come, let's watch a movie or something. We need to keep you awake."
Kevin wrapped an arm around Edd's waist and fell back onto the bed, holding Edd firmly in place on top of him. "I can think of better ways to keep me awake."
In the back of his mind, Edd knew that he was going to have to wash the sheets again, but at that moment he couldn't bring himself to care. He grunted at the slight pain of Kevin pressing into him, squeezing freckled shoulders for support. Kevin waited until Edd was comfortable, kissing every inch of his face in the meantime. When Edd nodded, he pulled back, whining in the back of his throat. They worked up a rhythm quickly, familiar with each other's movements. Edd's hands dropped to the sheets to grip at the fabric and his head pressed back into the pillow. He moaned openly with each thrust.
"Fuck, Edd…"
"Yes, you are."
Kevin laughed breathlessly. "Sassy little shit. Maybe I should stop."
"God, no! Don't…a-ah!"
Picking up the pace, Kevin inched a hand over to link fingers with Edd. His head strained back, breath coming out in puffs. With his free hand, Edd began to stroke himself off. He was close, so close…just a bit more… With Kevin's name on his lips, he came between them, his body tensing. The redhead followed a beat later, burying his strangled whine in the crook of Edd's neck. They lay in a sweaty pile for a moment, enjoying the afterglow. Edd ran his fingers up and down Kevin's back, humming. After a moment, Kevin lifted his head and gave Edd a crooked grin.
"Shower time?"
Edd leaned up for a lingering kiss. "Shower time."
