Their ride home was quite nice and very long since they didn't get on the highway. Kevin glanced back at Edd once they were at the light. Those bright blue eyes glancing through the other's helmet. He could tell the brunette was still nervous by how tight Edd was squeezing at the Kevin's middle. He looked cute and sweet. Especially since Edd was in his jacket. Kevin face went forward as a car behind him honked. It seemed that the light had turned green in the middle of him admiring the smaller.
Eventually they would make it home, Kevin riding up to Edd's house and parking his bike in the driveway. Edd's house had always been so quiet, Kevin was pretty sure he has only ever seen a car parked here a handful of times. Sure everyone in the neighborhood knew Edd's parents were rarely home but it seemed sort of depressing to think about. Kevin kicked down the bike stand before starting to get off. Only Edd was still holding onto him for dear life, this caused the poor brunette to jostle and almost fall off the bike. Luckily Kevin grabbed a hold of his shoulder to steady him.
"Hey whoa, chill we're here." Kevin said as he kept the grip on his shoulder. Edd's face bloomed into a red mess as he moved to hop off the bike and discard his helmet. Ever so gingerly setting it on the seat of his bike. He however couldn't help but to smile. Kevin was being so sweet.
"my greatest apologies. I hadn't realized that you were dismounting so quickly. I suppose I was lost in my own thought." Edd said as he rubbed the back of his head. His hat was still surprisingly on throughout this entire ordeal. He could feel the heat on his face and his heart beating fast against his rib cage. Kevin felt about the same just staring at the brunette. His eyes looked him over just a moment, that green stare marveled at the boy before him.
"Oh, right, don't worry about it Dee. I mean it isn't like you live out of the way. My house is literally right there." Keven scoffed as he gestured over to the adjacent house. It was starting to get quite cold out since it was mid September, "Do... Do you want me to walk you to your door?" He sheepishly asked as those green eyes never left Edd. He didn't quite expect that, but he smiled at him ever so softly. Those bright blue eyes also softening to him. Kevin felt like he was going to melt. Edd walked the pair up to the door glancing up at Kevin a moment. Now was his chance. He could finally talk to him about the hallway fiasco.
"I'm assuming that the flirtatious escapades in the hall were genuine then?" Edd asked not exactly meeting Kevin's eyes anymore. Kevin walked with his hands in his pockets up to the house, his shoulders slumped just a little to show he was rather relaxed being so close to the brunette. Though if people saw them they would defiantly start talking. He was surprised his team has kept it so quiet.
"I already told you they were. Come on I may have messed with you in the past but not even I am that much of an ass." Kevin smirked and his words seemed almost playful. He was teasing Edd a bit.
"Language." Edd retorted as if just out of an auto response. It was something he would say to Eddy almost constantly. Edd paused a moment and cleared his throat. "My apologies, I am just used to Eddy I suppose." He was actually relaxed enough around Kevin to slightly scorn him for things that irked the brunette. Keven only snickere.
"Dee, it's fine. You don't have to keep apologizing to me. Honestly I should be saying sorry for the way my team acted towards you through all these years." Kevin sheepishly spoke up before clearing his throat. "I would actually like to make that up to you more than just a ride home. How about dinner?" Kevin said ever so smoothly. Edd's face got even more red and he cleared his throat as well.
"Well Kevin, I didn't expect your wooing attempts to be so sudden and out of the blue like this. What brought this about anyway? You seem to never share interest in men before, no offense to you of course. It just seems strange to me." Edd suggested, more curious than anything. Kevin shifted a bit, his hands still in his pockets before he slumped again.
"If we are being completely honest here I sort of had a crush on you when we were kids. I mean how do you think you got out of most of that with me barely even doing much besides name calling while I kind of kicked the other Edd's as-... butts." The red head admitted as those green emerald eyes searched for a reaction from Edd. He just looked a bit shocked, even slightly flattered. All this time Kevin had liked him and kept it hidden. He could understand the frustration.
"I see. I can't say I haven't thought about you before in a less than platonic way. You were always the socialite, with everyone preferring your presence. Not only that but for a long while I suspected you and Nazz to be in some form of romance." Edd spoke as he played with the hem of his shirt. He couldn't believe he was admitting this to Kevin. Of all people he was confessing his romantic daydreams with the core subject of said fantasies.
"Everyone thought me and Nazz were together. She is nice and all. She made for a pretty good cover when people asked why I wasn't going after the girls that were practically throwing themselves at me." Kevin explained and pulled his phone from his pocket. "Can I at least get your number? I know it is probably late for you and everything." Edd looked down at the phone and then pulled out his own.
"Certainly! If your would like to go to dinner I would be more than inclined to except it." Edd said with a bright cheery smile. He really was a happy boy over all and it was killing Kevin. Why can't he just pull him in now, shower the other with affection to get those cheeks red and that smile on his adorable little face? That also seemed almost cheeky to pull such a stunt on Kevin. But Kevin put his number in Edd's phone. Waving off quickly so he didn't do anything to get him into trouble with Edd.
Edd slipped into his home, as did Kevin after riding his bike across the road to park it properly. He anxiously awaited a text from Edd. His eyes cast down at his phone for a bit before it buzzed. Yes! Kevin tried to compose himself enough to not act like a giddy school girl.
Edd: This is double D. I just wanted to wish you a restful night, Kevin.
Kevin sat there just staring at the message a moment. He even types completely proper. The same way he speaks. That was so cute. He could get used to seeing these little lengthy texts show up to convey simple things. Especially wishing him a good night.
Kevin: course have a good night too d
Kevin: also start looking at some places for dinner my treat
With that Kevin headed to bed, he still couldn't believe that had happened. He got the number of the cutest dork there was. How could he be so lucky?
