"Hey Barr, your phone is ringing," Mark chided, pointing down to Kevin's phone as he walked passed the redhead on the gym floor. Looking over from the bench he was lying on, Kevin nodded a quick thanks to Mark and picked up his phone and holding it to his ear.

"Hey babe," he spoke into the receiver. "Everything okay?" He asked as he looked at the clock on the wall - it was only half past two.

"I'm fine, I just wanted to hear your voice was all," Eddward chuckled into the phone from the comfort of their bed. "How's the gym?" He smiled.

"Oh you know," Kevin began, sitting up from his spot on the bench. "Hot and filled with too much testosterone," Eddward snorted. "You should come with me sometime," he cocked his eyebrow knowing all too well what Eddward was going to say next.

"As nice as the offer is, I will have to pass," one could almost hear the sarcasm in his voice. "Physical activities have never been my strong suit," he added on as an afterthought. A smile made its way to Kevin's lips as he hummed at Eddward's response.

"I beg to differ," his voice smoothed over. "Last night, you were pretty physical," he damn near winked.

"Kevin!" Eddward gasped, beginning to mutter how undecent Kevin was for speaking about such intimate moments publically. "Have you no shame?" Eddward asked, sitting up on the bed with Duke laying at his feet, completely unbothered.

"No babe," Kevin chuckled. "I have no shame when it comes to my feelings for you," Eddward smiled. Looking back up the clock, Kevin cocked his eyebrow when he realized that already twenty minutes went by in regard to him pulling Eddward's strings over the phone. "Look, babe, let me finish up here and I'll be home soon, alright?" He asked as he came to a stand next to the bench he was sitting on.

"Okay," Eddward whispered, a frown making its way to his face and seeping slowly into his voice. "I'll see you when you get home," he remarked.

"Love you," Kevin said.

"Love you more," Eddward respond and Kevin hung up the phone. Cracking his neck, Kevin quickly stretched after tossing his phone on the bag. Standing before the cable bicep bar, Kevin quickly adjusted the weights and went to work.

Walking in front of him, Mark cocked his eyebrows at Kevin, making the redhead roll his eyes. For some reason, unbeknown to both, Kevin never really liked Mark. Ever since he laid eyes on him, Kevin couldn't shake the feeling as if Mark wronged him some way even though they never interacted outside of the gym and barely spoke to one another inside the gym. In all honesty, it was a weird dynamic between the two. Maybe, just maybe, they were enemies in a past life.

On the floor beside Kevin, his phone lit up once more, but instead of a simple phone call this time, it was a video call. Laughing, Kevin bent over and answered the call, as Eddward's face came onto the screen. Smiling, Eddward was lying their bed with his black ever shining brightly against the sunlight that intruded through the windows and the stark whiteness of their pillows.

"It's only been five minutes," Kevin laughed and Eddward blushed.

"I know but I just wanted to see you," Eddward admitted and Kevin's heart fluttered. It was simply amazing - to say the least - that his heat hadn't exploded yet from the pure love and admiration Kevin held for Eddward. Without him, Kevin doesn't know where he would be in the world and if he was being honest, that was although he seldom thought about because it scared him to death.

"What am I going to do with you?" Kevin laughed and sat the phone on the floor but angled it so Eddward could see him and he can see Eddward. "Want to keep count?" He joked.

"Alright team!" Eddward yelled. "Five sets of twenty!"

Kevin snorted not only because Eddward is a character, but because he doesn't have on headphones and everyone in the gym can hear Eddward, especially Mark.
