It has been 2 months since the funeral and Edd very slowly but surely moving on. He knows that even when they were alive he barely saw them, but at least he had the option. That didn't stop him from distracting himself. Life will always move faster than you intended it to and just moping around was going to do nothing, especially since he adopted a kid.
Klaus has been on his mind ever since he adopted him. He could tell Klaus had grown accustomed to his lifestyle and started to trust him more every day. He doesn't even remember his parents last time he asked. All he remembers is his older brother. His brother told him to stay in that alley and that he will be right back but never came back. He came back periodically after that day.
Edd looked in the family tree databases from when they took blood tests to find relatives and saw that there weren't any brothers, or sisters for that matter, he had that were alive. His older brother died 1 year ago, so how did he always see him in the alley with him? Possibly could've been a ghost or his conscious helping him throughout that time. Edd didn't want to tell him that though, at least not yet. Klaus already has too much on his plate. He is still adjusting to his new school.
Edd woke up with someone cuddling him and a hand gracefully massaging his morning wood. He took a peak behind him seeing Kevin still "asleep." He tried to quietly get out of his grasp but Kevin wouldn't budge. The sleeping boy behind him started to rub more and more and Edd couldn't take it.
"I'm about to-"
"Cum for me, Edd."
And that, he did. He tried to resist thinking Kevin wasn't doing it on purpose, but now he knew. He was conscious. He knew what he was doing.
"You know, that's not a way to wake someone up and don't feign sleeping."
"It's a better way to wake someone up." He then kissed Edd's neck.
Edd got out of Kevin's grasp, walking to the bathroom cleaning himself up, "I thought I told you to sleep on the floor when you want to come in my room?" Yes, he took over his parent's room, and let Klaus take his room, even though they were never here so it didn't feel wrong. They literally used the bedroom at all. No pictures, no custom wall design, nada.
Kevin just laughed. "Damn, now I have a hard on too." He got up and went to the bathroom as well. Pressing himself against Edd hugging him from behind.
"If you don't mind, Kevin. I would like to brush my teeth."
"Yea yea yea… You're so rude, you know?" Kevin moved away.
"Because I want to brush my teeth?" Edd asked looking back in the mirror.
"No, because you didn't do anything with this." Kevin motioned towards his briefs-clad boner.
Edd peaked at what he was motioning to, but quickly averted his eyes spitting out the water. "Kevin, if you wish to have a few minutes-"
"No, Double Dee. I want you to take care of this for me. Like I took care of you a few minutes ago." He grabbed Double Dee's hand and placed it on his bulge. The shorter of the two didn't move. Kevin was big.
"Kev-"
"Stop thinking and do what you know you want to do. You can just jerk me off for all I care."
"But we're not together. You know what. I didn't ask you to satisfy my needs."
"I know, we're friends with benefits. Or how do you say it? Fuck buddies. Although, we could be something more" Kevin grinned while making Edd's hand rub harder on his briefs print.
Edd was beamed red right now. He retracted his hand and went back to staring at the sink.
Kevin looked disappointed. "Fine.. fine.. Fine.. fucking fine.." He stomped back into the room and laid back in bed. "I'm going back to sleep."
Edd finished his morning routine and went back into the room. He knew Kevin was sleeping because he was lightly snoring this time. "I want to." He whispered to himself. He fixed his posture and went to the other side of the bed. At this angle, Kevin looked so good. How can someone look this good sleeping?
"Oh my god, am I into somnophilia?" Edd questioned himself. "No, I can't be aroused by someone unconscious. Maybe it's because I never really seen Kevin sleep so peacefully like he has nothing in the world to worry about." Edd shook his head. He's thinking too much. "Okay.."
He peeled some of the covers back and exposed downed to Kevin's crotch. He was still hard. "He's still a hormonal teenager at heart." he snickered. Kevin mumbled something in his sleep and laid on his back.
Edd started moving again. He lightly touched Kevin's chest first. Rubbing circles on his abdomen. He went further and further down until he was rubbing Kevin's bulge. He pulled back his briefs and grabbed the shaft. Edd gulped. "Can't back down now."
He started jerking Kevin off, gradually picking up his pace. Kevin let out a small moan that Edd almost didn't hear. He started using two hands to apply more pleasure. He stared at Kevin's face noticing he was about to cum. Edd was about to pull away but Kevin's hand grabbed his wrist.
"Don't stop.. nngh please"
Edd never heard Kevin sound like that. So he did the unthinkable. He kissed Kevin while still jerking him off. They fought for dominance, but Kevin was victorious. Kevin slid his tongue in Edd's mouth. Edd made a noise at the sudden intrusion, which made Kevin hit his climax. Kevin came all over the sheets and his chest.
Edd retreated his cum-covered hand and decided to stare at anything but Kevin. Kevin grabbed him by his chin and kissed him. "Fuck Edd. Thanks." He grinned and got out of bed. "I'll go to the downstairs bathroom."
Edd felt ecstatic at the moment. He actually made someone climax. He never did that. He thought he would be scared but he got lost in the moment and it felt really good. "He internally smiled at overcoming one of his fears. "Okay, don't overthink it. You had fun, Edd. And stop talking to yourself." Edd chuckled at himself and went to take a quick shower.
After the shower he went to check the time.
12:56pm.
He needs to go check on Klaus. He went downstairs to see Klaus and Kevin with only a towel around his waist playing on the ps4.
"Good afternoon, Klaus."
"Hi, Dee." Klaus smiled and ran up to give Edd a hug. "You missed what Kevin was showing me."
"I'm pretty sure it was really amazing. Go finish playing. You don't have school today, it's Saturday. I'll go make us something to eat."
"Okay." Klaus ran back over to the couch and grabbed the controller again.
Edd walked up behind Kevin's ear, "You better not be showing him the strip club on that game or I'll confiscate all of your games."
"Is that a threat, Mr. Vincent?" Kevin challenged smugly looking back.
"Go put on some clothes. At least some pants."
Kevin just laughed.
"Is Nat coming over today?" Edd asked as he started taking out pancake mix.
"Maybe.."
"Okay, I'll make extra just in case. I know how much you and him like to eat."
The day ended quickly. Kevin left with Nat after they ate. Klaus wanted to go spend time with Auntie Nazz so Eddy came over and brought Ed after class.
"Yo, Edd. There's a costume party tonight. We should go."
"It's not even Halloween yet."
"So?" Eddy questioned. "We need some time to relax." He started massaging Edd's shoulders a little too hard.
Edd withdrew from the movement and agreed. 'A fear a day makes you stronger anyway' "You're lucky we didn't see each other in a while."
"YAY! Double Dee won't be staying home tonight. He will be a man!"
"Who's becoming a man?" Kevin walked in with Nat strolling behind him.
"Probably pipsqueak." Nat bolstered by making Kevin laugh.
Eddy was getting ready to, as he say, joke around and playfully punch Nat in the arm but Ed stopped him.
"Cheer up, Pipsqueak at least you finally got Nazz. The queen of the Cul-De-Sac." Kevin said sarcastically. "The one everyone wanted."
"And she's staying with me too." He pushed Kevin. He averted his attention back to the Eds. "So, about the party tonight?"
"Yea, we're going?" Kevin answered for him, rubbing his arm.
"Sweet. Ed go give them their costumes. I'll be going back home to Nazz. She doesn't want to go for some reason and has been a bit sick lately, but not contagious sick, so we'll watch Klaus for you."
"Wait, but I was convinced because I thought we were ALL going?" Edd asked, trying to put the puzzle pieces together.
"Nope. I just wanted you to have fun for one night without any worries. What could possibly go wrong with that?"
"Come on, Double Dee. You already said yes and plus your big brother will be there." Ed pleaded. "By the way, I'm talking about me. I'm your big brother."
"I know who you are referring to dear Ed." He patted Ed on the back, who in exchange gave him the puppy dog eyes. "Fine, you win. I'll go."
"Choice."
"Woohoo. Be right back, going to go get you costumes from my house. We're going to go as superheroes." Ed ran out the door with Eddy in tow.
"Superheroes?" Edd asked himself.
The party was at Nazz's friend's place and boy was it big. Apparently she just moved in town and wanted to throw a party to get to know everyone. The costumes were kind of a tidbit of personality to her new neighbors and friends. There were people already outside in the pool and inside living it up when they got there.
Kevin wanted to be Superman but Nat also wanted to be superman too so they played rock, paper, scissors.
"Have no fear, for I am here!" Nat exclaimed causing everyone to cheer him on.
You could guess who won the game.
"And there goes the party-man already. Off into the crowd." Kevin, who was Batman, said as they walked inside.
Edd was Robin while Ed was Green Arrow.
"Woo! Now I can show people my awesome bow moves." Ed prided himself.
"Of course you will, baby." Sophie added. She was Black Canary, "Hey Edd. Long time no see!" She gave him a tight hug.
"Hello Sophie. I miss talking to you! How have you been?" Edd asked as they retreated.
"Good. Keeping Ed out of trouble as usual." She fixed her new glasses.
"I'm glad he met someone like you." They both looked at Ed dancing with random strangers he doesn't know. "He is so much more lively now. Everyone's growing up."
"I know right. We can't be kids all our lives." Sophie replied. Ed ran over to them grabbing Sophie's hand demanding them to dance. "Okay okay Ed. Talk to you later, Double Dee."
"Will do." They look so happy together. Edd looked into the crowd hoping to spot Kevin, but Kevin was one-step ahead.
"Here ya go." Kevin gave him a cup of something. "Don't worry, it's sprite. I made sure it wasn't alcoholic."
"Thanks, but I don't mind drinking just a little. We came here to relax like Eddy said. You of all people know I had a stressful year so far." Edd said as he gulped down the sprite.
"Okay Mister Vincent. You've been around me too much. I'm turning you into a bad boy. Who is gonna corrupt me with goodness now?"
"Stop talking nonsense. I just want to have fun. I haven't had fun in a while since I took in Klaus." Edd admitted. He wasn't telling anyone he was stressing, but he knew it's never easy to raise any child.
"Fine fine. Let the party begin then!" Kevin exclaimed as he wrapped his arm around Edd's neck and guided him towards the crowd.
They danced with everyone else while Nat went to the pool to check out all of the half-naked people.
Edd drank a bit too much of the sprite which was making his bladder unsettling. "Going to go to the bathroom. Be right back." He whispered in Kevin's ear.
Kevin nodded and he went on his way.
He was relieving himself when he heard someone else come in. 'Must be another party-goer.'
Edd was just about finished washing his hands when he felt that person come up behind him. It was Batman.
"I didn't need you to follow me to the bathroom." Edd laughed at Batman being so touchy.
"I know you had a lot to drink but wait until we get home." The hands momentarily stopped but resumed as fast.
The left hand reached into Edd's pants even though he was persistent and started rubbing on his growing boner.
"Stop, please wait." Edd groaned but it felt so good.
The hands didn't stop. He started pumping more and more until Edd got fully hard.
"This is giving me dejavu from this morning." Edd said in the midst of grunts.
The hands went to work faster after that statement. Soon Edd was creaming in his pants. The hands stopped and fled the bathroom.
"Kevin?" Edd was panting as he watched Batman leave the bathroom. He finished gathering himself, cleaned up the mess as much as he could, and left the bathroom.
He went to look for Kevin to talk about the bathroom incident that just occured and saw something else. He went over to where Kevin and Nat were and saw that they were giving people something in exchange for money.
'Don't tell me Kevin started dealing drugs.'
"Kevin?"
For a moment, Kevin's eyes looked like he saw a ghost. "Hey babe. I thought you were going to the bathroom?"
"I did go. What are you guys doing?" Edd looked over to Nat holding his hands up.
"Hey, don't look at me sweet cheeks. I'm just selling boy scout cookies."
Kevin punched Nat in the shoulder, but when he turned back around to face Edd, he noticed that he was already gone.
Edd took out his phone and texted Kevin as he hurried outside to the car,
"I'll let you come over to explain yourself. I'm not going to be petty and not hear your side of the story, but I know what I saw so you can't lie to me and don't think just because of what we did in the bathroom will help you win this. I will call an uber so you'll be riding solo on your motorcycle."
After Kevin read that message he was about to run out but more and more people came in between them asking for more 'boy scout cookies'.
An hour later, a knock was heard on the front door.
"Finally Kev-" Edd was shocked. He didn't know he'll see him ever again. He forgot all about the note. He forgot all about those grey eyes. He forgot all about Wolfe.
"Hey Double Dee." Wolfe said with a devilish smile. He left himself in as Edd was standing still in shock. "How've you been?"
"Wolfe, what are you doing here? Why are you here? Where-"
"Shh.. You don't want to wake little Klaus up right?" He put a finger to Edd's lips. Edd was shocked.
'How does he know about Klaus?'
"So many questions yet so little answers. You know where I've been. You got my note. I know you did."
"How do you know about Klaus?"
"I know everything, Edd. Your boo is supposed to know everything about you right?"
"Wolfe.." Edd closed the door and sighed. "When will you learn I am no longer in a relationship with you?"
Wolfe was in his face in an instant. Hands on both sides of his face. He was surprised Klaus didn't wake up from the sudden noise. "What did you say? You love me? I love you too baby."
'I need to get him out of here before Kevin comes back.'
"Are you... sta- stalking me, Wolfe?" Edd dared asked. He couldn't look into his eyes. He was too afraid now. "You know too much."
"I'm giving you space. You'll be coming back to me in no time."
"It's been months, Wolfe."
Wolfe gritted his teeth. "I know how long it has been." He rested his head on Edd's shoulder. " I'm so glad I met you in my life. I don't know what I'll do if I never met you. You make me feel whole."
At that moment, Edd felt something on Wolfe's waist as he nuzzled against him. Something L-shaped.
"Wol-"
"By the way. I love your moans. You squirming in my grasp. You bad boy. Good thing I was there to keep you in control. You got me so riled up."
"Was that you in the bathroom, Wolfe?" Edd was flabbergasted.
"I'll save the day!" Wolfe mocked his Batman tone. His breath hitting Edd's ear with every moment he stays in that position.
"That can't be.. How did you know I'll be at the party. How did you know to be Batman to replace Kevin?"
"Double Dee." He punched the door. Edd had a chill running down his back now. "What did I say? Stop asking so many qu-"
"Double Dee?" A little voice was heard on the staircase.
"Klaus! Go back to bed baby. I'll be right up in a few." Edd was starting to panic, he didn't know who Wolfe was but Edd knew and he did not want Klaus anywhere near him.
"What's going on?" Klaus questioned rubbing his eyes.
Wolfe got from over Edd and went to sit on the top of the couch letting Edd explain.
"Nothing, I just have a friend over but you need to go back to bed Klaus. You had a long day today didn't you? You said you were so tired you just wanted to sleep all day." Edd tried to plead, making Klaus giggle.
"Okay. Can you come tuck me in please?" Klaus asked, staring at Edd.
Edd looked over to Wolfe. Wolfe casually led out a hand. "Sure. I'll be right up."
"Okay. Night Sir."
Wolfe just waved him off.
Edd went upstairs in Klaus' room, his old room, and put Klaus in bed. Klaus went back to sleep pretty quickly so he just stared at the sleeping boy. 'Oh how innocent he is.'
He opened the bedroom door to see Wolfe was standing right outside.
"Wolfe. Can you please leave? You know how my year has been already." Edd tried.
"That's exactly why I am here. You need a man in your life, not some drug dealer." Wolfe grabbed his arm and walked a bit away from Klaus' door so he couldn't hear them.
"No, Wolf-"
*DING DONG*
"Someone's at the door." Wolfe interrupted.
Edd walked down first looking through the peep-hole. It was Kevin. He saw Nat behind him going to Kevin's house.
He looked behind him to see if Wolfe was there but he wasn't. He slightly opened the door and greeted Kevin.
"Edd.. I tried to leave sooner but I really had business to take care of."
"I know Kevin, but now is not a good time."
"Why?"
*click* Only Edd heard the cocking sound of a gun to his right. He looked in his peripheral vision and saw Wolfe with a gun to his head.
Wolfe mouthed the words Don't Say It. He knew Edd saw him because his face extorted fear.
Kevin caught on to his facial expression and asked, "What's wrong?" He was starting to step inside when Edd pushed him back out.
"I'm sorry Kevin, but right now is not a good time. I…" He tried to think of a half-hearted lie. "I just put Klaus down to sleep and it was hard making him. We can talk another day." He tried closing the door but Kevin wasn't having it.
"But Edd. I wanted to apologize about what happened earlier. When you went to the bathroom, yes I was selling but you don't know the whole story. I still have unfinished business with you know who."
"JokerZ?" Edd whispered. He doesn't know why he asked, trying to get a grasp of another situation that was out of his control.
Wolfe stared at him intently waiting on him to spill.
"Yes. So please let me come in."
Wolfe shook his head no.
"I can't Kevin.." He tried. "Not around Klaus. Like I said, we can talk another day."
Kevin put his head down in defeat. "Fine, Edd. You win.. I'll leave but I'll be back tomorrow."
Wolfe closed the door from behind for Edd in front of Kevin.
"Now that wasn't so hard, was it?" Wolfe teased. Dragging Edd up to his room. "Come on, let's go Netflix and Chill."
Edd was beyond scared now. He knew Wolfe had a gun in his house, he knew Wolfe would cause trouble if he needed to.
"I have to play this smart. Not only my life but Klaus' life is in danger as well."
Wolfe has turned into a(n) obsessed-for-Edd man. He thought for sure that he would leave him alone after all this time. No. Wolfe's just getting started.
After Edd left the party, Kevin was stuck attending to his peers. Some wanted those boy scout cookies while others were hitting on him and wanting him to chug beer or something.
"Alright guys. I gotta go. Come on Nat."
"One step ahead of ya." Nat said leading the way. He only liked parties because there were customers.
On their way home Kevin had all the time in the world to think. Fuck. He knew Edd knew that he was technically part of a gang, but he didn't know that he and Nat started their own gang. No killing though. He never did that. Only to fight back from JokerZ.
"Man stop worrying about it. Double Delicious will welcome you back with open arms. As long as you finally tell him the truth." Nat chimed in on his thoughts at a red light.
"But-" Kevin tried.
"No buts. Trust me, if there's one thing about Double Dee, it is that he won't off you without a good explanation. He always gives people chances to defend themselves." He gave Kevin a genuine smile.
"Thanks bro. I owe you a beer tomorrow."
"I want two beers."
They both laughed. The light turned green and the rest of the ride was in comfortable silence. Parking his and Nat's motorcycle in his garage he and Nat walked over to Edd's house.
"Maybe you should just let me handle this. I'll tell him the truth." He told Nat.
"Okay. Suit yourself. I just wanted to be your support shoulder when you cry to him about what a bad boy you are!" Nat sarcastically said as he was beginning to turn around.
Kevin decided to ring the doorbell just in case Edd was upstairs so he could hear.
The door opened but not to Kevin's liking. Edd never opened the door just a little bit.
He immediately started blabbering about what happened at the party and Edd just dismissed everything. He could tell that he was pushing him out. After a moment's silence and watching Edd's face go from scared to fear he asked what's wrong.
Edd waved it off and continued to push him away. He even came up with an excuse that it was hard putting Klaus to sleep. He was met with the door after that.
He texted Nazz after that and asked if Klaus was sleepy when Edd came back to pick him up. She responded in a minute's notice saying he was already asleep when Edd came over.
So he's lying to me?
Edd lying?
"Plus, didn't he say he would give me a chance to explain myself?" Kevin was so confused. Why a change of heart so suddenly? And what did we do in the bathroom?"
He went back to his house to tell Nat the situation.
"Well.. Did he look like he was hiding something if he wouldn't let you come inside?" Nat asked, lounging on the couch.
"Yea, kinda." Kevin scratched his head trying to figure out what was out of the ordinary.
"Did you see anything unusual? Maybe he saw a shadow?" Nat jokes.
"A sha-"
"Why?"
He saw a faint shadow behind Edd's shadow when he said why but he didn't think anything of it until now.
"What the fuck."
"What?" Now Nat was the one who was surprised.
"There was a shadow in Edd's house." Kevin stated.
"Again.. What?" Nat was so confused.
"If you saw a shadow of someone's hair that resembles someone who you hate so much and was looking for, for months and they were hiding and you wish you would've knocked them out when you had the chance?" Kevin didn't miss a beat.
"Let me guess. You think it's Wolfe's shadow?" Nat asked half-serious, half-jokingly.
Kevin took a deep breath, "I know it's him."
Nat sighed.
"I think Edd is in danger. He was talking as if he was supposed to say specific words." Kevin added.
"We know too much about how it works since we did it on someone." Nat wanted so much to go to sleep.
"I told you we never speak of what happened to that guy." Kevin grabbed Nat by the neck. "We had to do what we had to do that day."
"Okay, calm down man. I am not your enemy here." Nat tried to remove his hand from his neck. "Let me go."
Kevin reluctantly let him go. He didn't say anything but Nat knew he didn't mean to do it. Kevin opted to turn around and go back over there but Nat stopped him.
"Wait, you don't know what he has over there. We have to play it safe. Remember he is with JokerZ and they hate us."
"He doesn't have anything." Kevin countered.
"I'm pretty sure he is in a higher rank in JokerZ by now. It's been months since we last saw him. And also, I heard they gave guns to every higher-upper."
"Fuck.." Kevin said closing the door back.
"Don't worry we'll get your honey bun back. We just have to know what we're dealing with. He is still a psychotic bastard." Nat applied.
'I hope Kevin doesn't go berserk like he did that one guy. I wonder if he is still alive.'
