The week would meander on slowly from that day in the food court. Edd was almost wishing time would march at a faster pace, just so Saturday would come sooner. Oh how excited he was for this little party. He had already decided on his costume, as had Kevin. In the days that passed they had picked out clothing for one another. Kevin going as Edd's "victim" and Edd being the very very stereotypical 1800's Victorian Vampire. Complete with a pleated shirt and a rather nice form fitting over vest. He thought it fit rather nicely. Not only that but Kevin had seemed to enjoy the view. It was comical really. Edd did in fact enjoy the little head turn he had made the red headed man do. It was almost endearing really.
By the night of the party Eddy and Ed had already gotten their little invitations from Kevin. He wasn't exactly the most enthusiastic to invite Eddy but it seemed to make Edd happy to have his friends with him. So of course he would be putting aside his own minor annoyances to make his date happy. Not only that he would have to learn to at the very least tolerate Eddy if he was going to continue this little relationship past one measly date. Which was of course his plan. He has had a crush for almost two months of this semester. It didn't seem that admiration was going to go away any time soon.
As for the time being, the red head was finishing off his little victim costume. His clothing slightly tattered and disheveled, half of his button down tucked while the other hung over his washed out jeans. A tie was very loosely pulled around his neck, to make it look as though he was as ruffed up by the attack, there were also two little dots of face blood on the side of his neck to make it look like a bite mare. Honestly it was a bit hokey, but for some reason Kevin had found it comical. Since Edd insisted on being a vampire for the season. But Damn he pulled it off well, especially the way his slim figure filled out that vest. Kevin had noted the fangs that looked a bit too real for him to really not take note. But it wasn't that much of a secrete ever since Natt had mentioned the fact Edd may be an actual blood sucker. He couldn't say he minded all that much.
Edd seemed almost too eager to go out with Kevin. Even if it seemed social gatherings weren't his forte. Maybe it was just the prospects of a date with the red head that had gotten him so giddy, or the fact he didn't have to hide his off little features for the night. Regardless it was quite cute. While the other Ed's had offered to drive Edd to the party he had declined. The prospect of riding on a motorcycle was not... exactly appealing to the brunette, but he had already accepted the offer from his date. This however seemed to leave a very sour taste in Eddy's mouth. The always rode together, ever since Eddy had gotten his old beat up cavalier. Honestly it was just as much of a screaming metal death trap as the bike was.
The group would all leave to the parking lot together before splitting ways, Eddy glared daggers into Kevin's back as he wondered off with his friend. To this however Kevin was pretty antagonistic. Giving a shit eating smirk before his hand would "slip" from Edd's shoulder down to his waist. Making the slender brunette give the slightest of jolts before he leaned into the red head's side. There was an odd sort of chemistry between Eddy and Edd that Kevin would never admit to being almost jealous of. Of course he was going to show off his new more intimate gestures he could now safely give without too much feat of rejection. It just made the smaller demon's blood boil. Good, and poor little Edd seemed oblivious to this fact. Giving a gap-toothed grin up at the red head, those crystal blue eyes looking up at him with almost admiration.
"Well babe I hope you are ready to hold on tight." Kevin spoke in almost a cocky tone and Edd could feel his heart get about trapped in his throat.
"O-of course Kevin, I will admit I have never even dreamed of riding on one of these extremely reckless automobiles" Edd's tone was a tad nervous, however Kevin seemed simply amused as he handed him the helmet. Shoving it into his awaiting hands. "Oh... yes, thank you"
"Come on D, you are safe. I wouldn't let anything bad happen to you, alright?" Kevin spoke in a little bit more serious tone. Edd could feel his knees wanting to give way. Pull it together and stop acting like a school girl Vincent! You are much too old for this! It isn't like this is even his first Date, but something about those eyes made him melt under his gaze. He was falling rather hard. With that Kevin mounted his bike and motioned for Edd to do the same. The brunette hiked his leg awkwardly over the side with his hands on Kevin's shoulders, slightly pushing him down. However he took Edd's hands and snaked them over his own waste. Edd practically melting against him and Kevin could tell his face was as red as a tomato. Edd's face buried into his back, hell at this point Kevin was a bit pink as he could feel his heart flutter ever so lightly.
Their entire ride was Edd clinging right to Kevin's back and barely looking up as they went down the highway. It was terrifying and yet at the same time one of the most enjoyable moments of his life. His fingers gripped into the front Kevin's shirt, with his eyes closed for the most part. Yet there was that ghost of a smile on his lips. Kevin's scent was nice, almost as rustic as the forest that his eyes seemed to resemble. He was drawn to it in so many ways, and deep down that scared him. Slipping scared him. They pulled into a large neighborhood soon enough, turning the corner and parking into a rather... familiar cul-de-sac. Something from when he was a child, where he had first met the Ed's. Of course they had all moved around the country since then but he didn't realize how close they where. The sun was low in the sky but still light out.
"Here we are, this is Nazz's place. She is an old childhood friend of mine. Like middle school childhood." Kevin spoke as he stepped off the bike and offered his hand to Edd. Who took it but still managed to stumble over himself into Kevin. Earning him an amused chuckle. "You alright there D?"
"Yes! Certainly, just simply not used to these bikes." Edd spoke as he straightened his back and rubbed the back of his neck. He is hand moving to grab Kevin's, interlocking their fingers. "Thank you once again for inviting me. Also for allowing me to invite the Ed's... Eddy wouldn't cease about going to some sort of party in out college days." He joked a bit but there was an undertone of slight annoyance. But it was very light, almost like an annoyed fatherly figure. So damn cute. Kevin took that almost icy cold hand in his own as they started into the party. Ed and Eddy still hadn't seemed to show quite yet
"Oh shit you made it dude!" A blonde woman spoke up as she walked over to Kevin, shorter than him and Edd, but with a kind smile and bright blue eyes. "Oh! This must be that guy you were telling me all about over the phone!" She spoke with a giddy tone wondering up to Edd. Kevin tried his best to play it cool and not like he had been gushing about his cute roommate the past two months. "Sorry, that was rude, my name's Nazz, nice to meet you."
"Edward, but you can call me double D. It has been a nick name for quite some time" He smiled gently to her and with his free hand shook hers. "It's a pleasure to meet you." He was always extremely polite and it seemed to come off as charming to the blonde woman. Even with his gapped-toothe and fanged grin. Which was so dorky that Kevin tried his best not to stare every time. Fitting really, and a complete contrast to his very proper dress. Though even with the get up he still war that black beany. Strange but Kevin never questioned it.
