Edd was quite giddy that night, so much so that he had fallen asleep in the Letterman jacket he had borrowed from Kevin the previous day. This was highly unsanitary and he should most likely wash the jacket before returning it back to it's rightful owner. Edd almost felt shameful doing such an uncleanly act. As simple as it sounded however. The brunette was barely awake when he heard the front door swing wide open. This caused him to jump with fright as the handle had slammed furiously against the wall. He could tell by the sound that this was going to leave at least chips in the paint if not a dent in the drywall.
The thin boy slipped to glance out of his room door. Those icey blue eyes wide with what possibly could be a break in. His hat wasn't even on his head since the only time it seems to fall was in his sleep. But it wasn't like the other Ed's hadn't seen him without it. They were probably the only ones in reality. It wasn't as though Edd minded, they were all so close. As his eyes slipped over the hall he finally landed on a short very familiar figure.
Eddy stood there very impatient as he walked about the house like he owned the place. Granted they have not been shy in allowing themselves in to the other Ed's abode in the past. Yet Eddy seemed to be searching for something. He was tanish, with a shorter stature than even Edd possessed, even though he was close to Edd's height. He had short black hair that was buzzed on either side much like an army cut would be. His Grey-green hazel eyes already showing a hint of aggravation and slight worry.
"Hey sock head are you even home? Don't tell me you actually ended up in a ditch somewhere or something." Eddy grumbled as he wondered the hall and peaked into the kitchen. This all would be a sweet gesture had he not possibly ruined his wall heading in.
"Eddy, do you have to boast about here with such ridiculous fervor this early in the morning?" Edd asked as he crossed his arms, emerging from his bedroom with fluffy brunette hair out on display. It was always quite the mess with hat hair. It only reached down to about the middle of his neck.
"Well excuse me for wanting to make sure I was not wasting my time waking up early for you." Eddy huffed as he walked closer. "Lumpy doesn't care if we were late at all, you are the one that wants to be 'punctual'." He said making air quotes and mocking the way Edd spoke. Of course Edd could tell the shorter was just worried. "Speaking of lumpy we still have to go and wake his ass up. He isn't answering my texts and-... Double D what are you wearing?" Eddy abruptly asked, hazel eyes going over him a moment.
"What ever do you mean Eddy-" Oh. Oh no. Edd quickly tried to take off the jacket before Eddy could read the name and jersey number embroidered on it. He gave a nervous little chuckle much to Eddy's dismay. "It is nothing to worry about Eddy, just something I am currently holding onto for safe keeping." Of course this reaction granted more curiosity. He knew that Edd was not into all those school stores. Maybe the occasional shirt but not anything like this
"Gimme that." Eddy said suddenly as he went to snatch it from Edd's hand. Those blue eyes went wide as he tried to hold it up out of reach, only to have it snagged forcefully. He didn't want to rip or stretch the fabric so he was compelled to let it go. "Geeze why are you acting so defensive sock head?" Eddy looked over the Letterman, on the back in, plain large orange letters with blue lining was 'Peach Creek High, #12, Kevin Johnson'.
"Eddy... I was just simply, um, acquired possession of it. He had left the Letterman on the field and I-" Edd tried his best to fabricate something that would make things less awkward but he was cut off.
"Don't tell me shovel chin was the one that brought you home yesterday. Come on double D, out of all the guys at our school you pick him?" Eddy spoke with an irritated grumble and watched Edd expectantly. His foot practically tapping on the ground. Edd's face flushed ever so slightly with the lightest air brush pink. He was caught in his lie and he knew it. Slowly Edd cleared his throat.
"Well you see Eddy it is a bit more complicated I suppose. Kevin had offered me transportation home. I simply couldn't refuse that would be crass and impolite of me." He knew he was dancing around the implication for all this and with good reason.
"Just spill it Double D. Did Kevin force you to ride home with him or something?" The shorter asked in an accusatory tone. Of course he didn't trust Kevin for a second. This had to be some sort of game or something. People don't just turn from pummeling to handing out their jersey. That just does not happen.
"No it's nothing of the sort! It was a genuine offer, he let me wear the jersey because the bike ride was rather on the crisp side." Edd explained and then he cleared his throat a bit. "It was the other players that had put me in an uncomfortable situation in which Kevin provided me with a means of escape. We have also traded cellphone numbers." Eddy just stared at him a good moment after he said this. With an almost overly dramatic groan he shoved the jacket back into Edd's hands.
"I can't believe this, you and shovel chin? I never thought I would live to see the day. Gah this has to be some fucked up dream." Eddy shook his head before starting towards the door. "Come on we have to go get Ed." Eddy said and Edd moved to go throw on some new clothes before folding and placing the jacket into his school satchel. However it seems he had neglected his phone and the few missed messages he had. Edd peered down at them once he hopped into the passenger's side of the car.
