Ed stood towering over both, though his almost too pleased demeanor didn't seem off in the slightest as he stretched out his fingers in those crudely made gloves. Flexing out the latex claws and chucking, as if he did not have some of his own at times. For the one person that is actually a monstrous being with distinctive tendencies, he sure enjoyed fantasizing. Edd Covered his mouth slightly as he watching, hiding the little bits of laughter that escaped him, if only to be polite. Not that Ed would take offense to his friend finding his absentminded mannerism utterly comical.

"Ed, can you please leave the Kitchen, you are going to get faux fur in the food." Edd spoke up and Nazz nodded in agreement. Perhaps she just was unsure why this random giant of a being was invading her kitchen. Which honestly, Edd couldn't blame her in the least bit for this. So he tried to remedy the situation and possibly alleviate the awkward meeting. "My apologies Nazz, this is Ed, he is a childhood friend of mine. Ed, this is Nazz. One of Kevin's friends and the host of the party." Edd spoke as he gestured to each respective person. Ed gave a large grin in return, shoving his hand forward almost instantly to be sort of polite.

"Nice to meet you Nazz! I'm Ed." He boasted almost too cheery to meet someone new. "Hey Double D, I'm starving. Can I have one of those?" He was quick to turn his attention back to the food after greeting the host with a hand shake. Well that was at least something, Edd was all too familiar with how socially inept the trio could be, himself included. Though he felt he was holding it quite well, even enough to consider himself proud of the achievement. Kevin's friends were far higher on the social latter than anything the Ed's had encountered thus far in life. It was almost reeling for the slimmer of the trio. While jarring he was sure the night would go over smoothly.

"We have to put it out for all the guests Ed. Can you grab the other tray and help us out?" Edd suggested and the largest was more than happy to oblige if it meant he would also get to snack on the horror themed goods. There were pretzel spiders in frosting, ghost shaped cookies and cupcakes with eyeballs on top. The craftsmanship was rather nice and Edd couldn't help but think of how long it must have taken for Nazz to create such a spread. The dedication to being a good host was enough to admire alone, let alone her sweet demeanor. He could see well enough how she could garner Kevin's friendship, hell she was close to having his own by just a simple lighthearted conversation.

The little group would make their way through the crowds, While there were a good fifty or so people about the halls and rooms it wasn't suffocating as Edd had expected it to be. Most people were from their local school, people Edd had seen in passing, though there was an over stimulus of smells and voices. Something he was sure Ed Experiences along side once they had made it to the living room. They placed the platters down on the punch table, which was decorated with tethered cloth and cheap dollar store props, fake skulls, bones and spiders all lined the table. It could be seen as slightly childish but to Edd it seemed almost nostalgic of his youth and the way his mother would try to have some sort of festive touch to his home. His fingers would touch the silver colored platter to adjust, only absentmindedly wondering if it was fake silver because Nazz knew of the inhuman or if it was simply for looks.

Ed was already grabbing handfuls of snacks from the platter and stuffing them down his throat happily. It was a bit wilder than usual but Edd had chalked it up as the other needing a distraction from the rest of his senses. He took his own small snacks and cup of punch, noting the coolers underneath full of cheap beer with little alcohol content. While Edd was not opposed to the stuff he tended to enjoy being in complete control of his facilities. As he filled his cup he could feel someone approaching him from behind, with all the people it was hard for him to tell at first. He didn't like that feeling of not knowing, as he was quick to find out. Though as a now familiar weight was slung around his shoulder his tensed shoulders rolled back and he sighed through his nose.

"Greetings Kevin." Edd spoke with a smile up at the read headed man, who seemed quite happy to see the other as well. Even though Kevin was maybe a few inches taller he seemed massive. It was possibly just the fact the other was more athletically gifted than the thin twig of a man in his arms. Those green eyes looked over him and a lazy smile spread across his face. As Eddy made his way over it seemed as though the group was together. They lingered that way through out the evening. Though Eddy was less than polite to the red head. Making back handed complements throughout their time spent in idle chat. However Eddy was the most socially outgoing of the three, it was possibly due to his more demonic nature that he was slightly more charismatic. However it was not by too much more.

He seemed to be enamored by the kind blonde host, much to Edd and Kevin's mild annoyance. It was obvious the red head could be a bit protective of his friend base. But he didn't want to drive a rift between the trio and himself. Especially not when he had just stared dating the brunet. He wanted the relationship to last a bit over just one date. Especially since it was already risky dating his dorm mate. Though any time Eddy would get a bit too close or a bit too invasive with the topic Kevin would squeeze at Edd's shoulder gently. His body would grow tense and his expression would show that of annoyance. Eventually Edd would decide that this was starting to get a bit too stressful, the tension in the air was too high. So He finally piped up.

"I uhm, I think that we should go get some air. I think that they are going to be shooting off a few shuttles any minute now. It is quite the experience to witness!" Edd said as he gently pulled away from Kevin and towards the back door. He knew Ed would fallow due to his obsession with extraterrestrials. Which would in turn leave Eddy alone with Nazz, to which all that moxie and gusto would diminish as quickly as he had brandished it. So the trio moved their way outside with Kevin confused, but in toe still. Since Nazz was the host she had to politely decline to tend to her gusts. Perfect.

Edd pulled out his phone to see if there were any actual launches, luckily he had not been lying. Otherwise that could create an even more awkward rift between them. Kevin moved up beside him, his fingers moving over the other's arm. "You know it's rude to just abandon the party." He teased Edd slightly as he leaned into him.

"It is also rather rude to act as though you are ready to leap at a moments notice." Edd spoke back with an even more smug look. "I don't need poor Nazz cleaning up a mess if you were to get into a spat with Eddy back there." Kevin's face dropped a bit and he rolled those forest green eyes, his arms going over his torn clothing, still dressed as the poor victim to Edd's vampiric mercy. However Eddy was behind them only a few feet, his hands deep in his pocket. He grumbled out annoyance at being asked to come outside. Though Kevin had his mind on Edd at the moment. "Oh look there are two shuttles! One to the west and one to the east!"

"Great we can take the west one... and they can take the east." Kevin spoke up as he jabbed a finger at the other Ed's. Eddy only rolling his eyes to the suggestion. "We haven't actually had any alone time tonight anyway, huh D?" Kevin suggested, making Edd's face grow slightly flushed, besides the affection he had completely forgotten this was meant to be a date. So he was of course happy to agree.

"Come on we didn't even get here two hours ago and your already ditching us? Seriously Double D?" Eddy huffed, obviously disgruntled.

"Eddy-"

"No, hell no. You have been all over him all night, you even got here before us and haven't left his side. Come on what about me and Ed?" He had cut Edd off and that expression of understanding concern fell.

"Because I am currently on a date? Less you have forgotten. I asked Kevin to invite you as well because I thought it could be enjoyable for all of us to socialize." Edd snapped some at Eddy. While it was slightly shocking, to Kevin at least, it was true. Edd crossed his arms. "You and Edcan survive for thirty minutes at about six yards away, correct?" He didn't think his request was anywhere near unreasonable in all honesty. If anything this was ridiculous even for Eddy. With that Edd headed west, taking Kevin's hand as he does so. The poor red head had been drug into a small spat. Though he didn't seem to understand the immense dependability that the trio had one one another. However Edd was quick to hide that frustration, putting on a smile and directing him and Kevin where to go. While Eddy complained to the taller man of their party.

"Did you see that lumpy? He just ditched us! Threw us to the curb like some broken toy! And for what!? A pompous jock with some muscle and a damn shovel chin?" Eddy spoke out with his arms still crossed and his body more into himself. This was not the first time Eddy had felt this frustration. Deep down he knew it was jealousy, he had already started to act out on it before. Ed did look back at the pair, slightly upset by his words.

"Double D wouldn't do that Eddy..." He said this softly for a moment as he tried to look forward. "Him and Kevin just like each other, you like Nazz too." Ed Pointed out.

"Yeah well that's different! I'm not ditching her for you am I?"

"You only talked to her inside." As Ed said this there was a slight pause from Eddy as his face grew slightly red.

"What of it?" He spoke as he got closer to Ed, bowing up his small stature to the gentle giant. "Huh?!" Eddy had always been defensive of anything wrong he had done.

"Eddy I don't feel that good" Ed suddenly spoke out with a little huff, those latex claws went to his stomach quickly.

"Yeah change the subject, god it's probably all that candy you scarfed down like a goddamn vacuum." Eddy crossed his arms over his chest, going to look at the sky for whatever little speck of light that is meant to be a ship as he walked forward a good yard or two. That was until his eyes trailed to the left a bit, the sun had almost completely dissipated and there it was. A sphere of golden light that cut through the blackness of the sky. He stopped dead in his tracks to look to his side. No Ed. He cursed, spinning on his heel to see that the other was doubled over half a yard back. He ran over but it was a bit too late. The tallest had already gone half way through turning. Real claws shredding the latex one, fur, a muzzle full of razor sharp teeth. He looked monstrous. He pushed Eddy back quickly, making him jump to avoid the deadly claws. Ed could smell his panic, he fed off of it. The beast rushed away quickly, the sound of bones cracking, stretching and growing anew could still be heard by the trained ear. They all knew it was a painful and terrifying process when not expected.

His claws tore through the lawn, tearing it up as he ran to the other side, the field was larger than most, a nice plot which a smaller house set. The beast could tell there were people, many many people around and he didn't like it. It scared Ed, since there was still that worry of getting caught ingrained so heavily that it was instinct. So he rushed away from the house and towards the woods out behind the home. Eddy however rushed after him, running as quick as he could, but his smaller legs were no match for a wolf/human hybrid. So he darted off closer to the house in hopes of seeing Edd or hell even Kevin to help locate him. He was one of the only people that could deal with Ed in this state. He had a trick to calming him down like no other.

While all this had started Kevin and Edd had been peacefully looking at the stars. Edd's mind a fog when he was around the red head, he had gotten out of his shell that night, met new people spoke about different topics with them. He had possibly made a new friend and gained a boyfriend as well. Things were looking up, very up.

"So... sorry about that back there. You know I have known Nazz forever and she is like a little sister to me?" Kevin said as he rubbed the back of his neck, his eyes more focused on the small amount of stars above their heads. Edd smiled a slight bit as he looked over at Kevin.

"I understand Eddy can be a bit much, please go easy on him however. He means well most of the time. He just can be rough around the edges." Edd snickered some and he moved his hand into Kevin's slowly. Their fingers grazing gently, his ice cold hands begging for the warmth of the other's. To which Kevin obliged happily, interlocking their fingers in silence.

"I know this is probably a horrible first date with all the people, but I wanted you to meet Nazz and Rolf, some real close friends of mine. I mean if we are going to date you have to at least sorta know em?" Kevin snickered as he rested his head against Edd's.

"Of course, I think it was a over all success. I would even say it's grounds for possibly a second date?" Edd felt quite sly suggesting it in that manner. It had even caught Kevin off guards, his face going to slightest bit red as he cleared his throat and tried to regain composure.

"Right... of course. Only if you want to. I don't want it to be weird because we kinda live together you know? Seems like some sitcom, moving in first then dating." Kevin spoke out in a nervous habit, but Edd could tell he was still happy for the suggestion. It was cute to see him flushed. So Edd decided to take his chance. Leaning up to plant a soft kiss on his cheek, pulling back for only a moment before landing one on his lips. He was getting more confident in this intimate moment. Even though the kiss was brief and only a few seconds it was nice.

"I would love that Kev." He spoke out with a grin and his hand gripped at Kevin's just a bit tighter. Though there was a snap from behind them, it seemed small, further away. But it was out of place and it drew Edd out of this soft gentle moment.

"Are you-" Kevin started

"Shh" Edd hushed him, he gripped him tighter and his head lifted ever so slightly to the side, focusing. Something was wrong. Then there was another snap, then feet thumping on the ground. However it wasn't quite the clatter of boots on damp grass. It sounded heaver and more organic than that. Then he saw it, something coming up from behind the pair, large with bright eyes that reflected the light of the windows from the house. As Edd turned to try and get a better look he was pulled back. Kevin had about knocked him off his feet with a sharp jerk. Stumbling to keep his footing the beast moved faster, faster and with a thud. Lunging at the red head. "Wait!" Edd screamed out as his arms moved froma round Kevin.
