.* Edd is in for some questions!*
Edd woke up blinking , his eyes tightly shutting in regret. Where he was, it wasn't home and he knew it. The place felt different, Edd reluctantly opened his eyes and saw water and two Advil on the coffee table in front of him. He readily took it and sat up, he looked around and realized that this place wasn't familiar at all.
"Oh you're finally back from the dead?" A male voice came from behind him. A very amused looking redhead man in pajama pants stared at him. Edd now sober didn't take long to recognize him. "Kevin!?" Edd was in shock, then that turned into embarrassment. Kevin probably ran into him at the bar, and if the current situation was any indicator of last night... Well let's just say the night probably wasn't kind to either of them. "Last night you called me Korbin.." Kevin chuckled while walking to sit with him. "Dammit I did it again!" He whined hiding his face. "What?" Kevin asked with a raised eyebrow "Get drunk until you could barely speak or call someone Korbin?" Kevin was sarcastic.
"I have developed a problem... I will probably end up there again..." He murmurs, he was furious with himself. "What?" Kevin now looked at him in concern. "Oh Kevin... I should thank you for bringing me here last night... But my issues with myself shouldn't concern you..." Edd was ashamed, he'd rather not have Kevin involved with him and his issues right now.
"It does when you put yourself in jeopardy like that... I had to carry you up to my apartment after you passed out in my car..." He had a dark look, he was angry. "I'm sorry, I won't run into you while I'm like that again..." Edd didn't know if he could stay away from the bar right now. "I thought you were supposed to be smart..." Kevin said blowing a chunk of hair out of his own face. Edd gaped at him, Kevin was beyond different from before. He looked mature, and cleaned up. Edd looked at him closer, he was really attractive actually. He mentally slapped himself, wrong time for that Edd!
"Not recently..." Edd said, headache building as he began to finally feel more emotions. He brought his hand to his face to try and quell it. "I can see that..." Kevin was worried and Edd could hear it. "Please don't worry about me... it's just me being too stubborn and suffering because of my own decisions... I have been known to do that..." Edd wanted to conquer the demons when was good and ready. "You know I'm not very far from your school... I can be here when you need me..." Kevin got up "Do you want something to eat?" He sounded beyond worried at this point.
"I wouldn't turn it down actually... Thanks..." Edd said finally looking his old friend in the eyes. "You're gonna start talking me again... Because I can't let you have nobody to turn to and force yourself to that point again..." Kevin said grabbing something from the fridge, it was eggs. "I guess talking to someone else other than my textbooks would be a little bit more entertaining..." Edd gave an empty chuckle. "Edd... What you're doing isn't healthy... And you know it..." Kevin grabbed a pan "How do you take your eggs?" He sounded like a scolding father, Edd thought he'd never see the day. "Yes I am aware.. And I will take them scrambled thank you..." He wasn't used to Kevin being the one who takes care of people, especially him.
"Then why do you do it?" Kevin asked while cracking two eggs into the pan and moving them around with the spatula. "To be honest... it's better than the other options that started to come to my head..." Edd knew there was no point in lying, Kevin was gonna be there weather he liked the idea or not. "Jesus Christ..." Kevin sighed "That wasn't what I was expecting to hear, especially from you..." He dished the eggs and looked at him. "Why lie... I can see that you're worried and I know you're not letting me off easy... I just didn't expect it to be you scolding me..." Edd chuckled again, it had more genuineness this time. "I've been there, done that and got into some deep shit back then... I cleaned up my act... And now I'm gonna help you clean yours..." Kevin put two more eggs in the pan, then some bread into the toaster.
Kevin grabbed something from the table, it was a box of something. "You mind if I smoke?" He asked putting the box on the counter next to him as he put butter on the toast and put it on Edd's plate. "It's your home, do as you please..." Edd said getting up from couch and walking to the kitchen, sitting at the table. "Just asking..." Kevin said and put Edd's plate on the table. Popping more bread into the toaster and putting his own eggs on a plate, kevin then took a cigarette out of the box with a lighter. He put it in his mouth and lit it, moving the box to the top of the fridge. A trail of smoke was following him now. Edd started timidly eating his food, and Kevin finished prepping his.
"Never thought of you as someone who drank..." Kevin said grabbing his own food and sitting down. He took a drag of his cigarette and blew the smoke away from Edd. "I did too... Until I began to work myself into the ground..." He glared at his plate. "Jesus how far gone are you..." Kevin took another drag. "It was either that or something stupider..." Edd said finishing his food. "Define stupider, because drinking however much you did last night isn't smart either..." Edd looked at him mouth agape. Did he really want to tell him about that?
"I don't think you'd want to hear it..." Edd stared at his hands awkwardl. "Try me..." Kevin said with a stern and unimpressed look. He sighed looking into Kevin's intimidating blue eyes "I was gonna end up dead, because I wanted to die..." He didn't want to share that, but Kevin deserves to be better informed because he was now technically a witness to a long and ongoing problem. "Okay... well you're not leaving my sight for a bit... because what the actual fuck Edd..." Kevin took another drag and breathed through his nose. Edd knew Kevin was either really pissed off, or very upset. He didn't want him to be either of those things.
"Where's your cellphone?" Kevin asked looking him in the eyes with a penetrating stare. Edd pulled it out of his jeans to let him see it. Kevin took out his own, and exchanged numbers with Edd. "I'll be checking up on you pretty often now because there is no way in actual hell that I will let you walk out of here and forget this after you telling me that..." great, now Edd had a babysitter and he wasn't a happy one.
