Edd sat outside for about ten minutes watching the other teens roam out, some to their cars other's to the buses. That was until he saw the oh too familiar cap move through the crowd. It would be a lie to say Edd was not positively excited to see his date for the night. He planted a large gap-toothed grin on his face as he wondered closer. Gleefully he greeted Kevin, an excited wave of his hand and a bounce in his step.
"Greetings Kevin, are you excited for our excursion to a pleasant eatery?" Edd asked as he pushed his arms behind his back. A seemingly bashful stance, but his pale blue eyes showed true excitement in them. Kevin could just melt seeing the other's expression and the way he carried himself. Keep it together, Keven cleared his throat some before standing up taller.
"Of course Dee, I actually made some plans before we go out to eat if that's fine with you. I mean I wanted this to be more of a proper Date." Kevin said with a sheepish grin on his face as he took a tad step closer to Edd.
"Plans? What is it that you propose we do?" He asked with his head tilted ever so slightly to the side. Why did Edd have to look like this adorable puppy all the time? It was in no way fair to Kevin. He clinched his fist a moment trying to compose himself and not frankly melt over the look he was being given.
"Yeah well that's a surprise. Come on we have to hurry before it closes." Kevin said as he gently took Edd's hand, starting off towards his bike he offered up the helmet once more. "Okay so we do have to go on the highway this time, so don't freak out on me, got it?" He said this in a teasingly stern tone. To which Edd rolled his eyes and took the helmet from him.
"I assure you I will be quite alright Kevin, as long as you drive responsibly" Edd put the helmet on once more and waited for Kevin to mount the bike first. The brunette moved to hop on right after, his arms rightly around Kevin's mid section like before. This was becoming a much more comfortable position for him. Holding onto him like that felt so nice. It was warm and comforting in some strange way. Even though with how solid Kevin was it was akin to holding onto a very warm brick wall.
Though soon enough Edd was clinging to Kevin for dear life as they drove down the road. The sun hung in the sky above, yet the cool breeze of the approaching autumn winds made everything almost too nice. If Edd was being honest with himself he had small hopes that this feeling could last forever. His eyes closed as they moved down the road some, just thinking that he was going on a date, with Kevin no less. He had never dreamed this would be possible.
As they parked Edd slowly let go, though he was slightly reluctant to do so. He hopped off the bike, taking of his helmet as he had before. Those bright pale blue orbs loomed around a moment and he tilted his head raising a brow. They were deeper into town and away from the schools or their neighborhood. Kevin looked down at him with a slight smile, his finger tips ever so delicately caressing the other's hand. Testing the waters to see if Edd would let it go further into him holding it. Edd hadn't plucked his hand away from the contact yet.
"Kevin, may I ask where we are?" Edd questioned softly as he looked to the building not far from their parking lot. It was large and pale white but he couldn't quite make out any discerning features from their current position.
"Nope, sorry Dee but that would ruin the entire surprise. In fact I'm going to need you to close and cover your eyes" Kevin said as he moved more towards the walk way leading up to the large facility. Edd huffed a moment and rolled his eyes. But did as he was told nonetheless. His hands going up to cover his eyes as Kevin pulled an arm around his shoulder, guiding him towards the building.
"This is entirely nonsensical, but if I must." Despite Edd trying to sound huffy and displeased there was an air of excitement in his tone. What could this surprise possibly be that he had to close his eyes? Kevin smiled some at the very relaxed air they had about them now. It was much better than Edd's earlier banter spawned from nervous habits. Kevin kept his place quick but with enough lax in his gate so that Edd could keep up easily. Soon enough they would make it to this mysterious pale building. Kevin slowly uncovered Edd's eyes and after adjusting to the light a moment they widened.
It was almost too surreal, a almost massive Insectarium. It had a massive glass top to allow sun to flow in to their green house and as they entered there were different specimens lining the walls in droves. Edd didn't even know this was out here! Edd was practically bouncing on his heels as they entered. The excitement almost bursting at the seams for poor Edd. He moved to grab Kevin's hand and cheer up at him.
"You really planned this? This is the sweetest most thoughtful gesture anyone has ever presented me!" Edd said as he seemed flushed and excited. His heart was beating so fast with all this. Kevin just rubbed the back of his head bashfully and gave a grin back.
"You said you liked this sort of thing right? I wanted to show you that I actually listen you know?" Kevin took his hand after presenting their passes to get in. Edd would roam around pointing out different insects and giving fact upon facts about them. Sure eventually it would sound like babble to Kevin but just seeming him like this was nice enough. They would eventually make it to the butterfly garden.. Where they would be quite swarmed by the vibrant creatures. Kevin even got a few on his hat and some on his shirt, to the amusement of Edd. He even convinced Kevin to take a picture or two with them. Of course getting some huffy and bemused looks into the camera. The red head did lighten up when it was both of them in frame. They looked blissful with the colorful insects on their face and clothes smiling into the camera. There was even one of Kevin kissing the cheek of a very flustered Edd.
As they wondered Kevin would hold Edd's hand and allow him to lead the way, wherever he wanted to go Kevin was happy to follow. He even got the other a little gift from the shop. It was a preserved Three-toned Prepona, normally found in Mexico. At least that is what Edd was rambling on about. Regardless Kevin got it for him to add to his collection. So far everything was going perfectly and they hadn't even made it to dinner.
