Kevin and Edd spoke for quite some time, this relaxed the anxiety riddled body. He smiled brightly to the red head, of course the red head couldn't help but smile back. It was actually rather nice to just relax and chat. Edd was quite interested in all of Kevin's hobbies and such. There were so many things the other was apart of. Almost all of them being sports related. Though they did share a very common interest in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Soon enough the first bell range however and their conversation came to an abrupt end. Which was actually rather disheartening for both parties involved.
Kevin honestly was reluctant to part with Edd and even offered to walk him to class. Which was happily excepted. Sure Edd shouldn't be so attached quite yet, but it was nice having someone pursuing him with romantic interest. Especially someone that he had found rather interesting and held some sort of feelings for in the past. Kevin would stick close as they walked, giving a side glance to Edd every so often who was talking about the wonders of having an and far. While he used larger vernacular and spoke with his hands a bit it was still cute. Kevin did sneak his arm around the other a moment. More due to the fact everyone already saw them together.
"They are quite active creatures, with a vast networking of tunnels that they never seem to get lost in. It is all extremely fascinating to watch." Edd spoke out with that big grin that showed he actually enjoyed something. The brunette also spoke about getting an entomology degree since the crawling creatures seemed to hold his fancy. Edd was already starting to relax around Kevin, though he would still slightly jump at holds and his face would air brush pink. Not that Kevin minded the sight at all.
They finally made it to Edd's class and paused at the door. Kevin slowly moved his arm from around the smaller's shoulder and rubbed the back of his neck. He gave a small chuckle to this and smiled a bit to him. They said their goodbyes soon after this, Edd was practically buzzing the rest of class. This was all just so nice. He was smiling more throughout the day, even despite the little murmurers. He knew people would talk but he didn't expect it to be so flippant and open.
But he has come from many years of learning staying off the radar was much better than putting himself on the spot. Edd stayed out of any questioning anyone may ask. Ignoring most people and being ignored by most directly. By the time lunch rolled around he had yet to be bothered by any jock or any sort of confrontational student. It was quite rare for him. He wondered into the lunch room with his books neatly tucked away in his bag. He gave a soft sigh before wondering through the crowed to the back corner table the Ed's always sat at. Edd had barely had a chance to sit down before a very familiar and agitated voice rang out.
"I thought you would be too cool to sit with us." Eddy said with a grumble as he planted his ass right next to the brunette. Edd just huffed a bit and snubbed his nose to the comment.
"I don't know why you would insinuate that I could be so vapid. I already told you I had prior engagements this morning" Edd tried to explain only to get huffed at again.
"Oh come on sock head, you are the talk of the entire school. Don't play coy. Pretty sure now everyone has heard about you canoodling off with shovel chin." Eddy pulled out his bag lunch and glared up at the other a bit.
"I was not canoodling! We were just talking... It was actually quite nice." Edd admitted as he sighed. "Kev has not been anywhere near crass or hold any malice. He has simply talked with me. I would even say he is quite sweet at times."
"Did you hit your head? This is Kevin we are talking about. You know how much he was on our ass as kids." Eddy pointed out and this made the brunette bit his lip a moment.
"We spoke about that yesterday. It seems he had hidden intentions and feeling behind the patronizing as well... Something that I thought was quite one sided for the most part." Edd said in a more nervous tone as he stared down at the brown paper bag that had his lunch packed neatly inside.
"You what? Wait wait wait, you are saying he had a crush on you and you had one on him? Why didn't you tell us Double D?" Eddy asked feeling a bit betrayed. "Come on we have been friends forever. I told you I liked Nazz"
"Yes but this is vastly different I'm afraid. Everyone had an affiliation for Nazz. But me liking someone like Kevin is.. obtuse at best." Edd sighed and he looked back up at Eddy a short moment. "I have liked him well before I came out to you and Ed."
"I guess that makes more sense why you never fawned over Nazz but still got nervous when both of them were around... Damn way to keep some big shit hidden from us sock head." Eddy remarked but started relaxing. Possibly it was the feeling of sudden change getting to him or the fact that he felt Kevin was taking away part of their trio. As things were slowly aired out the table close by, though more towards the middle was seated. That would be the table all the jocks and in tern Kevin settled at. There was a slight glanced shown over each other, though the table was rambunctious as ever. Luckily no migrating visitors from the jocks yet... though it always eventually happened, rather in passing or more deliberate.
