"Kevin, my parents emailed me and said it's about time you were up and about. They want you to try standing today, and they have ordered some physical therapy equipment that will help build your muscles back up." Edd said smiling at the red head who had actually achieved sitting on the edge of his bed with his legs dangling off the side all by himself.
"Dee, my back itches could you scratch it for me?" Kevin said looking at Double Dee with puppy dog eyes.
"Ok, where does it itch?" Dee asked reaching around Kevin and rubbing his back."
"Lower" Kevin said as Dee rubbed further down his back, "Much Lower."
"Now hold on young man, you are just trying to get me to touch your butt, are you not?"
Kevin leered at Double Dee, "And if I was, would that be so bad?" He said laughing.
"Well sir as I am your care giver it would set a bad precedent. I know, I'll call Nat I am sure he would not mind touching your butt for you."
"ewww, no, I don't want the green haired freak touching my butt, I want a raven haired sock head to touch me on the butt." Kevin said wiggling his eyebrows and laughing.
"Now, now Kevin are you trying to molest my favorite future son-in-law?" Said Mrs Barr standing in the doorway to Kevin's room laughing. It relieved her heart to see her only son sitting up on the side of the bed and teasing Double Dee.
"Oh, Ma! Tell Dee he has to scratch my butt for me because I'm a helpless invalid." Kevin said putting on his saddest puppy dog eyes.
"You don't look to helpless to me young man, you behave yourself or I'll have to come in there and spank you."
"Dee call CPS and tell them I have an abusive parent, hurry before she beats me." Kevin said rolling on his side laughing. Sitting back up the red head looked at Dee and said "OK, since you won't touch my butt, how about a little kiss, hmmm?"
Kevin made a grab for Dee, but the dork jumped up and stepped away from the bed, "If you want it come and get it." and stuck his tongue out at the redhead.
The redhead got a look of determination on his face and slid forward on the bed until his feet were touching the floor, he pushed himself upright with his good arm and stood leaning against the bed a look of surprise came over both their faces. Getting a sly look on his face, Kevin tried to take a step forward and got over balanced and started to topple forward. Dee ran to catch the red head before he fell. As Dee brought his arms around Kevin to keep him from falling, Kevin leaned in to bring their lips together for a kiss.
After several seconds Kevin broke the kiss and said "Ha, gotcha ya"
"I should have let you face plant the floor"
"You wouldn't have, I knew you would catch me. But now I'd better sit back down before I fall down."
As Kevin turned around and grabbed the edge of the bed he shook his butt at Double Dee and said "You wanna touch it you know you do."
Dee swatted the red head's butt and commented "Sit down before you fall down" just at that moment they heard Mrs Barr call Edd to come down stairs a moment.
When Edd arrived down the stairs he saw most of the baseball team there. He smiled at them "Greetings fellows, I guess you are here to visit Kevin am I right. Just a moment, I'll run up and see if he would like some visitors today."
Dee ran up the stairs and into Kevin's Room. He pulled an arm chair over by the bed and helped Kevin into it. "There you'll be more comfortable for your team to visit you. Here we'll put these shorts on and this tank top. Since you're unwired this morning, you can dress up a bit for company."
"But Dee, "
"No buts, the company will do you good. I will run down and send them up. You will enjoy some Jock time" and in a pretty fair imitation of Kevin's tough guy voice Dee said "To be all manly and shit."
"Ha ha, very funny Dee." laughed Kevin and then added in his best imitation of Double Dee "eep, Language Dork!" Both boys laughed at this and then the sock head hurried down to send the jocks up to visit Kevin.
"Hey Kevin" said the guys as they entered his room, each stopped short when they saw the redhead sitting in the arm chair next to his bed.
"Hi guys, glad to see ya" grinned the emerald eyed boy looking around at the team.
Derek walked over to Kevin's chair and said. "They guys have come to apologize about what happened last time we were here to visit. Glad Edd relented and let us come back for another visit."
"Dee is the one who convinced my mom into letting you guys visit again. She was really upset by what she overheard one of the guys saying about Dee. So if you guys want to be able to visit again I suggest that you guys be nice to Dee, Mom really loves him."
"No worries about that Kevin, what few idiots that were on the team are now gone, We as a team asked them to remove themselves from our ranks, by unanimous vote. We also voted to adopt Dee and keep watch over him when he's at school to make sure he's safe." Piped up Billy, "It was Nat's idea."
"Well I'm glad you guys feel that way about Dee, I might as tell you guys while you're here. I've asked Edd to be my boyfriend. We weren't going to tell anyone until school starts in the fall. But, after what you just told me I had to let you guys in on it."
"Kevin, you wouldn't believe your eyes if you looked in on the school these days, everyone who is anyone speaks to Dee these days, we even brought him and the Eds over to out table to sit with us. We took in the other two because Edd would not leave them by themselves. The big goofy guy is sorta cool once you get to know him, but that short one is a major pain."
"Yeah Eddy can be a pain, but he is one of Dee's closest friends, I can't stand him but for Dee's sake I try to get along with him these days, and his heart is all there when it comes to Double Dee."
"Yeah Kevin, it's like Edd has his own entourage these days. We also want you know your captain ship is still there for you when you return to school. Ted tried to call a vote to get Adam elected captain in your place, but by all but two votes you were reelected Captain of the baseball and football teams."
"I'm honored guys, but I'll probably be so far behind you guys won't want me as captain."
"Nah dude, Dee and Nat are working to get it so that you will be in your same grade and even for you to graduate with your class."
"Sounds like I will soon be in for some extreme Edducation, Hahaha." Kevin laughed, then off they went into their jock discussions of games."
