Another chapter? Why yes. It's been a creative month or so for me thankfully, so I've had quite a bit of inspiration to write more chapters for this story. This chapter is a little awkward for me. I'm honestly not too good at writing more adult situations too well, and this chapter more or less marks a bit of a turn in Edd and Kevin's relationship. I'm still going to keep a steady (read as slow) pace for their relationship since I believe things would still be quite unusual for both of them being in this kind of relationship. Tell me what you think of this one, I'm a little iffy on it, but I'll keep it as is for now. Please enjoy! I might put up another chapter today if I'm feeling a little wild. I have chapter 14 finished, but I need to read it over again to ensure I like the way it's going.
Again, enjoy! Reviews help me decide how I'm going to steer things, so they always help!
Oh... My Ed...
Something caused him to stir. Not the pain in his head nor the swimming feeling that followed briefly after he noticed it. He tried the pinpoint it only for a moment before his body was charging down the hall and into the bathroom. A few unpleasant moments later, he searched the sink, already realizing it wasn't his. Mouthwash, thank god. Half a bottle and numerous rinses didn't help how gross he felt, but removed the awful taste from his palette. As he stumbled back down the hall, he looked down to himself. Bare feet stumbled over hardwood floor, his fancy lace side-tie panties keeping him more or less decent while an overly large black shirt hung on him with some kind of sports logo on it. It wasn't his, that was for sure.
He turned into the room he recently exited and stared at the bed with a blurred, hungover stare. Kevin was sitting up, rubbing an eye tiredly. "Mornin'," He was about to smile, but stopped as he took in the state of his boyfriend. "C'mere..." The shirtless young man laughed softly. Without word or protest, Double Dee stumbled closer, climbing onto the bed carefully. In a manner pf grace only the drunk and hungover could accomplish, the long haired boy tumbled into a heap, head landing in Kevin's lap.
"I feel terrible..." Edd half-slurred into Kevin's stomach.
"Poor guy... Here, take these and drink the whole glass." A pair of painkillers were handed the Edd along with a tall glass of water. Once both were done, he laid his head back down, content in not moving for the next lifetime. Kevin tugged the comforter back over his boyfriend and leaned back, stroking the boy's head gently.
"What happened?" He asked after a few minutes of attempting to recall.
"Well..." Kevin sighed a little, running his other hand through his own hair. "We were having the Christmas party, right?"
"Mm," Edd grunted lightly, closing his eyes.
The whole cul-de-sac was there and having a great time. Presents were stacked under the huge tree and the traditional array of Christmas tunes were playing over the stereo. Horrible sweaters were made fun of and flaunted, kisses under the mistletoe were sneaked in, and all sorts of foods were consumed as they all enjoyed themselves. Their parents, showing faith in their children, had left them to their party while they had a small one of their own. It was actually a great time.
"Oh Kevin, this is a wonderful party!" Edd cheered, latching onto the redhead who blushed a bit. Not everyone – meaning everyone other than Marie and Nazz – knew that they were dating yet. "Are you having fun?"
"Yeah man, definitely." He grinned and patted the dark hair. "Have I told you I love the outfit? Looks kinda familiar."
Looking down to his angel-like outfit, Edd smiled. "I once dressed up in something similar when we had to teach Eddy a few lessons about the season." A simple, thin white dress danced around him, bare legs flashing with each step. In even a simple breeze, the cloth pressed in close to his thin body, allowing a view of his delicious silhouette. For accent, a pair downy soft looking wings attached to the back and a halo dangled just above his head.
"Where do you get these things from? I can't imagine you going into any place that would sell these." Around the dividing wall in the kitchen, the jock ran his hands over the slim teen's sides, feeling the gentle contours of his body.
Edd flushed and giggled. "A few favors from Nazz." He admitted as he pressed in close, obtaining a quick peck.
"Speaking of, what were you and those two talkin' about yesterday? You didn't really sound too happy about it."
"O-Oh... that." Gulping a little, the effeminate young man nibbled his bottom lip, the slight gap in his teeth visible. He never said it, but Kevin always thought that it was just too cute on him. "They were... um... coaching me on how to..." He glanced down a little between them, then back up to Kevin. "Be a proper b-boyfriend."
Blood filled Kevin's cheeks, and elsewhere a bit, as he comprehended the words. "Oh..." He uttered a little lamely. The two stood in silence for a few moments, Double Dee looking more and more uncomfortable as it continued. "Look, Double Dee..." He began, one of his hands reaching up to cup his cheek. "That kinda stuff can wait."
"But you said-"
"I know what I said... But this is a little new for both of us, y'know?" He grinned sheepishly. "Do I think about it? Yeah, definitely." The both of them laughed, blushing worse. "But if we rush, it could be bad." Edd nodded and smiled.
"You're right... Thank you Kevin." Eddward looked up into his boyfriend's eyes, the sheer appreciation in his words hitting Kevin with a fair amount of force. "And to be honest..." He added, giggling a little. "I think about it too."
"There you are!" Nazz called, rounding the corner and startling the couple. "Kev, c'mere for a minute, I need some help bringing in a few last minute gifts."
The two separated, the redhead petting Edd briefly before following Nazz outside. Double Dee watched him go, smiling happily. How could Kevin, the young man he grew up with for so long, who foiled Eddy's plans so many times, be so great? It didn't seem likely at all.
A glass was pressed into his hand. Another glass of eggnog. He looked to it then to the one who put it there. Marie smiled wolfishly at him as she leaned on the counter. A thin, tight sweater hugged her... um... assets delightfully. It almost seemed like it was struggling to do its job. The long sleeves and high neck looked nice though, Edd would have to ask where she got it. "Thank you Marie, are you having a good time?"
"Totally. I think I already scarred Eddy for the next few weeks. Told'm I'd send my sister to him for a few days. God knows I'd like to be rid of her for a bit." She laughed. Her calculating eyes flicked to the glass. "Hey, toast with me."
"A-Alright,"
"To a totally awesome party and to a sweet year to follow!" Marie cheered, clinking her own glass with Edd's. "Alright, down it all!" She ordered, doing so with hers. Edd nodded, quickly drinking down the thick drink. He shivered a bit at the strange taste of the eggnog Marie seemed to like to much. "Nice, lemme getcha another." The tall girl grinned as she made her way back to the spread out in the living room.
Three glasses later, Kevin returned, grumbling about having to carry nearly a dozen boxes from Nazz's house to his. The moment he stepped into his house, he knew something was wrong. Conversations were getting louder and more repetitive. Words were being slurred as the kids hung all over each other as they laughed too enthusiastically about jokes. "Dammit Marie..." He growled as he quickly began hunting down the most likely source of the spiked drinks.
"Trust me, he'll totally love it!" The woman in question snickered out to the boy in the angel costume sitting on the counter who giggled in return.
"Marie," Thundered the football player, stalking up to the calm young woman. "Are you trying to ruin the party?"
"Ruin? I believe I improved it. Everyone's having an even better time." She cooly responded, brushing off the strong teen's anger. "Right Double Dee?"
The boy hopped off the counter, landing wobbly and nearly falling if not for the jock catching him with a hand. "Thanks Kevin." He slurred through a giggle. "I'm having a great time!" Edd cheered, latching onto him.
"You're drunk, dork." Explained Kevin as calmly as he could. "And you're leaving Marie, now."
"Leave? You invited me here, remember?"
"Yeah, and now you're leaving. Either you get out or I will throw you out." He threatened.
Nazz walked in, looking over her shoulder before turning her attention on the three. "Hey, did you guy notice... What's going on?"
"Apparently I'm leaving. Some people just can't handle a real party." The troublemaker snarked, waving a hand to Kevin.
"Wait what? You got everyone drunk? Geeze Marie..." The blond shook he head. "C'mon, lets go. Thanks for the party Kev, need any help?"
Sighing as he held his boyfriend up, Kevin shook his head. "No, I got it, thanks."
"Alright, Merry Christmas you two." Sighing, Nazz and her girlfriend left, most people already too drunk to notice.
After nearly two hours of getting people to sober up and leave, Kevin stared at Edd who was still rather drunk. Apparently Marie had focused her attention on him. "C'mon, you're going to bed."
"As long as you come with me." Edd purred, holding his arms out to the muscular teen.
"Yeah, sure." As he watched the feminine boy try and stand with little success, he sighed internally. He swept him up into his arms and began to go upstairs.
"Marie told me even more things to do with you tonight." Double Dee giggled, wrapping his arms around Kevin's neck. "Some of it sounds a little complicated." He pulled himself to Kevin's ear, pressing his lips close. "But really fun..." He giggled before nipping the redhead's ear playfully.
"I bet," Kevin entertained the drunk boy as they entered the room. "Here, sit down and let me take off those wings."
"'Kay," Giggled the small teen. True to his word, he sat rather still, even taking off the halo while the wings were removed from his dress. "Take this off me, I don't want it wrinkled." Mumbled the teen with glasses.
Sighing, Kevin accepted the order and blushed as he removed the thin dress, leaving Edd in just his frilly, lacy panties. Long strings from the bows tied on his hips hung down a few inches, resting on his perfectly smooth, bare thighs. He wanted to look more... Lots more, but he turned, looking through his drawers only for a moment.
A weight leaned into his back, the near naked genius pressing into him with a soft hum of delight. "Watcha doin'?" He giggled, pressing a few kisses to Kevin's neck.
"Finding you somethin' to wear."
"But it feels good like this." Edd whined, squeezing around Kevin's shoulders.
"C'mon, just wear it for now." He asked with a sigh. He didn't want to deal with this right now...
It took way more effort than he cared for, but Kevin eventually got Edd into the shirt and under the sheets, soon following behind him. Only moments after Edd's head hit the pillow, he was out like a light.
"Dammit Marie..." Mumbled the jock as he changed and slipped into the bed before he pulled the boy against his front, holding him tight and kissing his head.
"I'm so sorry Kevin..." Edd mumbled, rolling onto his back to look up to his boyfriend. Fingers continued to stroke through his hair soothingly.
"It's not your fault," He smiled down at the hungover teen. "Marie just doesn't know when to stop sometimes."
Edd reached up and took his other hand, bringing it to his chest. "Don't be mad at her. I'm fine, if a little sick and no one got in trouble from what it sounds like."
Sighing, Kevin squeezed the hands a bit. "She ruined your favorite night... You worked really hard on that party."
"You're just too sweet Kevin..." Giggled the boy, bringing the hand to his lips in a gentle kiss.
"Yeah... Well..." He grumbled. "Anyways, go get in the shower. Do you want me to bring some clothes from your house?"
"As long as you can bring me a proper outfit."
"Don't expect anything too great, I'm just a dumb jock." The two shared a quiet laugh, Edd carefully sitting up. "You okay now...?"
"After I clean myself up, I believe I will be." Sighed the bookworm.
Once Edd left for the shower, Kevin quickly pulled on some clothes and made his way over to his boyfriend's home. It was nicely decorated outside, if a little sparse for what he expected. Though, come to think of it, he didn't see Daniel as much of a jolly, carol-singing person. A quick push of the doorbell and he was met with the man he'd just imagined dressed more like Scrooge than what he was presented with. Once more with a cup of hot tea in hand, the sleek, very collected man wore the absolutely most hideous Christmas sweater he had ever seen. An overly busy traditional Christmas scene was knitted into the candy cane pattern of the rest of the shirt, 'Noel' spelled out in golden-laced wool yarn just under his collar.
"Good morning, Kevin." He stated more than greeted.
"Uh... Merry Christmas sir." There was never an easy way to talk to this guy. His unflinching gaze absolutely bore into him.
"If you're looking for Eddward, he went to a friend's part last night. I believe he may have stayed the night."
"Yes sir, it was my party." A slim eyebrow was raised at his words.
"Why are you looking for him here then?"
The quick followup question stumped Kevin for a moment. "I... Uh... I'm not. He's over at my house still. I just wanted to pick a few things up for him."
"I see," Daniel acknowledge sagely. He sipped his tea, still watching Kevin evenly.
A few seconds ticked by. Kevin glanced around himself in confusion. What the hell kind of response was that? "May I... Come in and get them?"
"Who is it Daniel?" Called Edd's mother from behind the short, messy-haired man.
Oh geeze... Groaned Kevin internally. "H-Hello," Kevin waved a bit as Hazel stepped into view. For whatever reason, she was once more in a robe. This one was something Santa-like also, a red base with fluffy white trim and black sash to accent it. To top it off, little plush reindeer faces smiled up at him from her slippered feet.
"Oh, why hello Kevin, Merry Christmas!" Hazel smiled, wrapping her arms around one of Daniel's.
"Merry Christmas ma'am, I-"
"Is Eddward with you?" She asked cutely, looking around the entrance for him.
"Ah no, y'see, he's back at my place, totally passed out towards the end of the party." Kevin smoothly explained while attempting to keep his best smile on. These two were quite the pair when facing them alone. "He's getting cleaned up and I just wanted to pick up a few things for him."
"How sweet of you!" She giggled and tugged on the sweater covered arm to move her husband. "C'mon in, Daniel and I were just about to sit down to some breakfast, you want some? It's some yummy organic wholewheat toast with some blackberry preserves I made. We've got some eggs too I can cook up if you'd like some too. Oh, Daniel, do we still have orange juice?"
"I'm unsure," The calm man seemed to deeply ponder this as he took another sip of his tea. He almost seemed troubled at the very notion.
"N-No, I'm good, just gonna... y'know... head upstairs real quick then head out. Sorry for bothering you guys so early." Kevin could already smell the eggs beginning to cook. Geeze, those two were something else. So frazzled from the conversation, the redhead quickly grabbed a few things. Edd liked his skirts, right? Sweet, one of those, and white can go with everything, so that blouse. What shoes did he wear to the party? Geeze, how did he put all this stuff together every morning? Too much damn work. Whatever, sneakers are fine. Underwear? Geeze... He didn't even look in the drawer, he just grabbed a pair at random before making a bee-line to the bathroom. A few toiletries later and he was quickly out of the house and back into his own. "I'm back Double Dee, everything okay?" He called, kicking off his shoes.
"Just awaiting my things," Edd giggled from upstairs.
Ascending the stairs in a few quick bounds, Kevin stepped into his room sighing. "Geeze dork, your parents take some getting use to I think." He chuckled without looking to his boyfriend, closing the door with his foot before turning around.
"Why? What's wrong with them? Is that why you took so long?"
"Well, that and you have so many damn clo-..." Kevin's words caught in his throat as he looked to the bed. Snuggled under the warm comforter lay the freshly showered young man, long hair pooled around his cute face, still damp. His mind worked a mile a minute as he connected assumptions and facts together. His boyfriend was in his bed, naked, watching him with the cutest look.
"What?" Giggled Edd, blushing under the near slack-jawed stare. "You took quite a while and sitting around in a cold towel was not an option."
Kevin gulped, moving towards the bed. As he began setting the clothes down, Edd sat up on a hand, the blanket sliding down to his waist. Seeing his bare chest should not have been at all hot or arousing, but it was. The pale, smooth skin looked so delicious and soft, he ached to touch it more. It didn't help that the little dork always kept it covered as if he had breasts to worry about. "I-I'm gonna go shower too. Here's your clothes." Kevin blurted.
"Of course, thank you very much Kevin." Double Dee nodded, watching the jock leave for the bathroom.
A short strip and Kevin stood under the near scalding water, letting it run down his face. For all the talk he'd been giving Edd about waiting to get more physical and stuff, he himself was aching for it, even if he was a little nervous about doing it with a guy. Every time he saw the dork look particularly cute or act a little flirty, he wanted to do all the things he knew they both wanted. But he couldn't... Not yet...
"Kevin?" Came the soft call over the water.
"Y-Yeah?" Coughed the football player, stiffening a little.
The door clicked open, a cool breeze briefly brushing over the redhead before it vanished with another click. "I don't mean to bother you, but I was hoping you wouldn't mind if I used the mirror for a few minutes." Edd smiled sheepishly, a shade of red already forming on his cheeks.
Kevin suddenly hated the plain glass door of his shower. The only thing stopping Edd from seeing the entirety of the redhead was a simple towel folded over the bar near waist level and maybe a couple of feet of distance since the guy could easily look over it. He wasn't sure if he was embarrassed or eager. It's not that he didn't think he looked good, he worked hard for his physique and it showed. He just wasn't sure if he was ready to be totally naked in front of his boyfriend yet. It sounded weird when he thought about it, but it was kinda true.
"Quite the outfit you picked for me." Double Dee snickered. A short, a wine red skirt and white blouse? Simple yet good looking. "A little plain though."
"It was either grab and go or have breakfast with your folks." Explained Kevin with a smirk.
Edd giggled and looked over. "Couldn't stand the thought of poor old Eddward naked and alone in your room?"
"Only the alone part." Admitted the quarterback. "I almost just considered forgetting the clothes altogether."
"How daring," Hummed Edd as he brushed his hair with a smile.
"Then I thought about how you would probably die if I made you wear something of mine for a little. None of it is cute or anything. You might end up whining about it all morning and that would just be terrible." Teased Kevin.
Raising a slim eyebrow, Double Dee turned and looked to the showering teen. "Consider your vulnerability right now Kevin. You are quite naked yourself and in no state to tease."
"... Point taken." Kevin laughed nervously. Blue eyes stared at him through the glass with a glint of cool mischief. They almost seemed familiar... Like his father's. Oh lord... "A-Alright alright, totally stopping now. No need to be cruel."
"Good," Smiled the smaller teen. "Though a bit disappointing..." He tapped his lips with a finger. "It may have been fun..."
"To... what?" Kevin dared to ask, as he shampooed his hair. Silence greeted him as he waited for the response. When none came he looked out the glass of his shower door to see himself alone. Shaking his head, he quickly finished his shower and got himself ready for the day.
When he returned to his room, towel around his waist, he found Edd waiting calmly, one long, pale leg crossed over the other as he sat on the edge of the bed. He smiled as he saw his boyfriend come in, slowly standing and straightening his skirt. "Since I'm finally cleaned and rid of the the effects of that horrible hangover, I wanted to do this before I left..."
"What's that?" Kevin warily asked, the calm tone in Edd's voice a little unnerving. He stayed in place as he was approached, the slim boy reaching up to wrap his arms around Kevin's neck. Shining blue eyes flicked up, causing green to follow. A lock of mistletoe hanged in the doorway innocently. "You sneak." He chuckled, looking down to the quite proud looking boy. Kevin's hands gripped the wonderfully shaped hips of his boyfriend and tugged him close. Lips connected in a sweet, soft kiss. It didn't end though, it deepened when the arms around the redhead's neck pulled him closer. Tongues met and brushed over each other not in a fight, but in a dance, each brushing over each other delightfully.
After several enjoyable minutes, the two broke, panting a bit. "Merry Christmas Kevin..." Edd giggled softly.
"Merry Christmas, dork." Kevin placed another light kiss on Edd's nose, his hands slowly sliding off the hips as his short boyfriend stepped back.
However, as he did, the cream colored towel around the jock's waist lost its support and dropped to the floor in a heap. Double Dee's eyes followed the movement curiously before he totally registered what happened. Pure, uncovered flesh lay before his eyes, causing his entire face to darken. He recalled feeling the feeling of... K-Kevin... ah...pressed into him the other day. At that time... it... he... th-that was impressive. Seeing it though was... intimidating, even if just for a few moments.
Kevin dropped down and quickly grabbed up his towel, holding it before himself, blushing deeply. "S-Sorry..."
Double Dee gulped a little, nibbling his lip while smiling. "Don't be... It's nice to see you like that." Admitted the long haired teen. "While we may be holding off on... physical intimacy... I-I can still appreciate how impressive your are." His cheeks lit up and eyes widened at his own choice of words. "I-I mean h-how fit you are! You're b-body! I-It's impressive!"
Kevin cheeks darkened considerably. He knew what Edd was talking about. High school locker rooms had a way of showing young men what each other were made of... so to speak. Girlfriends from before had also commented on more than just his fitness too. "It doesn't make you uncomfortable?" That's what scared him the most he decided. What if when it came down to it, when the two saw each other for what they really were, they would find they didn't like it? Wasn't that what most people worried about in relationships though? Only ones that really mean something though I guess... Kevin told himself.
"Of course not." Edd assured him, stepping closer once more his fingers brushing over the exposed hips of the football player. He let his fingers slide up his sides, abs, and chest until until he stood up on his toes, tugging his boyfriend down with his arms around his neck once more. "Secretly," He purred into the shell of Kevin's ear. "I tend to enjoy a little nudism when I have the chance..."
Wow... Kevin gulped a bit at this new information. "R-Really?"
"Yes," Whispered the slim teen. He pecked Kevin's cheek softly then backed away once more. "Perhaps next time though." He giggled and turned, picking up his clothes from the party as well as a bag of unopened gifts he forgot about. "Mother and father will worry about me if I don't come home soon."
"Sure thing..." Kevin nodded dumbly and watched his boyfriend move about his room to collect his belongings. He stopped in front of him once more, setting his things down.
"Thank you for taking such good care of me, you're too sweet." They shared another kiss before Edd made his way out the door, but not before stealing a glance at the exposed backside of his muscular boyfriend.
I do believe the proper term in this situation would be 'jackpot'. He considered smiling to himself.
Wow... Kevin's mind repeated several times in different tones of awe. He had learned something very unexpected, interesting... and really hot. Maybe he'd take another shower real quickly...
Ending with a shocking confession from the meek little guy, whoa! Also, yeah, that's right, Kevin is a lucky lucky guy in more ways than one. Like I said, this marks a turn in the story from the innocent beginnings of a relationship to things growing and developing.
Next! Kevin has a small issue to deal with, Jimmy shows up with some interesting things to say, and maybe an interesting talk will follow between our boys!
PS: I had so much fun writing Edd's parents in this chapter, you have no idea.
