They skated about the ice late into the night, Edd loved guiding Kevin through the rink. Allowing him to get comfortable on his skates, seeming a much softer and happier side of the red head was more than pleasant for Edd. He seemed so genuine as he leaned against Edd, his fingers gripped tightly to the leather jacket. The brunette smiled up at him brightly as they slowly parted as the rink began to close. Kevin and Edd made their way back to the exit slowly, Kevin's hand still clasping a tight hold on the jacket. As if it was a life line. Soon enough they were off back home, it was getting quite late, they had skated for hours once the game ended at 8pm. They skated well past 10pm. It was clear enough Edd was about ready to collapse, though having too much enjoyment being next to the red head. His legs ached.
Kevin drive them both home, the ride was quite silent and soft. With Edd only making a yawn or two as he held fast to Kevin. Just holding him tight against the cool fall night. In short Edd knew this was possibly one of the best evenings of his life, he could not describe the overwhelming feeling of not only peace but happiness as we. It was bliss. No matter how much his body begged for sleep from exhaustion due that day's physical activities. Kevin dropped Edd off, gently kissing his lips before giving him a soft good night. Edd returned this with a gentle kiss that only Edd could provide. The red head presented Edd with the aforementioned gift he had gotten him. A large hokey jersey, sure Edd was possibly a small but this would look better on him.
Kevin was also eager to get to bed, his body more used to the strain but that day had just been too wonderful not to keep it as a fond memory as he dozed. He parked his bike in the driveway, too tired to bother trying the garage door. Stepping up to the front of the steps he paused. Oh. He cursed out as he shuffled through his keys, he had left his house key in his gym bag. He tried the door with little luck, then the garage. Both locked. He couldn't fault his parents however, he was normally quite diligent in keeping his house key on him. Yet lately his head has been swarmed with the excitement of the hokey game once Edd had told him about it. Kevin tried calling both parents with yet again no luck. He was stranded.
Those green eyes cast over across the street for a good moment... He couldn't bother Edd with such a thing could he? There was a slight frustration building up in him. Possibly Nazz would let him over for the night? No, her father was not quite the fan of him. More due to the fact the duo had a spat about what their relationship was the prior summer. Though she seemed quite understanding now. Kevin was just more attracted to the male physic. It was shocking to even himself to come to terms with such a thing. He still had yet to officially come out to his parents, but he felt as though he should since time was flying with Edd. He wanted to ask him to dances and such without his parents constantly nagging him about when he was getting a girlfriend. There was another glance to the tall house across the street, the moon behind it, illuminating the roof top. It loomed over him, waiting for his decision with silent judgment.
Soon enough Kevin gave in, he walked himself across the road, his hands deep in his own pockets. There was the slightest bit of rolled back shoulders. He even was giving himself a pep-talk. Come on Barr, this is your boyfriend, he will understand shit happens right? God, was he bothering him? What if Edd is already asleep and his knocking is going to wake him up and by tern piss him the fuck off? What if Edd just thinks he's clingy? A million questions swarmed in his mind, yet he found his hand reaching for the door bell. Ringing it and jerking his arm back as if it had burned him.
Soon enough the light in the living room came on and there was the little patter of foot fall behind the door. "Ed if that's you sleep walking again you are in a grandiose amount of trouble mister!" Edd called from behind the wooden door. Edd was quite cute when he scolded people like that, it was so proper yet scornful. Like a disapproving parent. The door still opened slightly, his hand holding on it as to not let the sleeping behemoth in if it was in fact his old friend. Those pale blue eyes shot up to him, Edd was already in that hokey jersey that went well past his waist and almost his thighs, along with some loose pajama pants. They looked comfortable, yet he still had his hat on. "Oh, greetings Kevin. You are aware it is quite late right?" Edd... teased him? It was such a playfully mocking tone.
"Oh, yeah sorry. Look I know we just sort of spent all day together but.. um, I kinda got locked out. So is it cool if I chill here for the night?" God why did Kevin feel nervous? That was Edd's job. Edd thought a moment before he gave a large gap tooth grin.
"Of course, I do not mind. However I regret to inform that we do not have a guest room for you. I hope the couch will service." Edd said as he opened the door up for Kevin. Kevin shrugged his shoulders as he made his way in, giving a soft smile back to Edd. "I belive I may have some pants that could possibly fit you. They were presents from my aunt last Christmas, they had hopes I would grow into them. Yet fate didn't allow it."
Kevin chuckled a bit before he plopped down on the couch, laying back. "You don't have to go through the trouble Edd, you are already helping me out a shit ton." Kevin said happily, Edd was very caring to his friends, it was sweet. Edd simply shook his hand in dismissal.
"You are my guest, I was raised to treat them well." Edd commented before he made his way back up the staircase and into his room. What Kevin wouldn't give to sleep up there with him, though two people sharing a twin mattress would be rather tight, but that just meant he would be holding Edd all night. Soon enough Kevin was snapped out of his thoughts with Edd rushing back downstairs with some plane blue pajama bottoms. He handed them over quickly. "The bathroom is right next to the kitchen." Kevin's had was taken off while the other spoke.
Kevin was already taking his shirt off to get comfortable after Edd said this. "Oh right." He should probably not change out in Edd's living room. Edd cleared his throat, his eyes looking away, staring was rude Edward! Yet it was hard not to, Kevin had quite the defined set of muscles, especially his abs and over his chest. Edd had always leaned towards the male physic as well, yet a more toned version. At first he took it as jealously for what he had been lacking, yet it became more apparent that he thought about it more than the normal man should. The red head had noticed the brunettes unwillingness to look at him. He smirked, knowing well the reasoning. "I ain't shy you know, I don't mind just changing real quick if you don't"
Edd's eyes went quick to meet Kevin's to that, a bit of shock but he cleared his throat "O-Of course! It is all whatever you are comfortable with." Curse his ingrained hospitality, Kevin seemed to take that as the green light to go ahead as he started to pull his clothes off more. Next his pants came off, luckily for Edd's now increasing heart rate he was wearing boxers. His face growing flushed the more he tried to only steal slight glances. Yet Kevin had decided this was not enough torment on poor Edd. He slipped those pants on but not his shirt, wondering up from the couch and strolling over to him. His toned arms wrapped around Edd, drawing him into his solid chest as he kissed the top of his head.
"Thanks for letting me stay over." Kevin had found his confidence once more, yet so did Edd. His hand slowly rested on the other's chest and he leaned up kissing the red head's lips softly.
"Of course. Now we should both be getting some rest, yes? Have a pleasant night Kev, there are some blankets in the closet encase you catch a chill." Edd's eyes darted over him. "However I highly doubt that would happen." He practically cooed, leaving Kevin a bit stunned. Edd was teasing him. He wanted to tighten his grip and pull Edd in for another kiss, maybe towards the couch. But the smaller slipped away quickly before moving up to his room. He really knew how to push all the right buttons.
By the following morning Kevin had woken up to a loud banging on the door a few feet from his resting spot. The red head jumped at first before groaning. His eyes took a moment to adjust and his brain slowly clicked on what had happened the night before, right... he was at Edd's. The door became assaulted with knocking, then so did that poor doorbell. God fucking damn it! Can a guy not get some sleep?! Kevin knew this was not his house but that furious display pissed him right the fuck off. He was not the morning person. Edd seemed to be up stares still, how could he sleep through this?
The red head decided to take matters into his own hands, his fists clinched as he strolled right up to the door and opened it. Gripping the handle tightly he growled
"What the fuck is your problem!" His short hair a mess from sleep and those green eyes held venomous annoyance, only growing by the second. He had quite the temper on him. However the man in front of him gave the same amount of fury back. Though there was a stark amount of confusion hidden behind the shorter's brown eyes. Eddy stood, arms crossed over his chest.
"What the hell are you doing at double D's. Also where the fuck is your shirt?!"
