If that's what you call it
Time flew by and it was now late October. The air had started to become colder, the leaves on the trees had all changed into a spectacular colour-show.
The sun was about to set this cold, yet beautiful afternoon, and Kevin had just finished practice. He bid the team goodbye in the locker room with a big goofy smile on his face. Some of his team mates wondered why he was so happy and mocked him jokingly, but Kevin did not answer any of them, he could only think of his crush, Edd. His own little Seung-Edd. Without changing his clothes, nor taking a shower, he set off to the building where all art students were.
He jogged and thought about how he should ask the Korean guy out, without being too obvious… You know, just two guys spending some time together, nothing special… Who did the think he could fool? Kevin were head over heels of the smaller guy and more of a captain obvious about that too. Good thing Edd hadn't figured it out yet.
Lost in his thoughts Kevin didn't see the approaching person that he was about to collide with. Both Kevin and the person he ran into fell to the ground, he snapped out of his own thoughts and got up, dusted himself off and let out a hand to the other person on the ground. That's when he saw who it was. It was Eddy. His annoying, shorter, loud mouthed neighbour from back in the suburbs and cul-de-sac.
Kevin rolled his eyes, but still held out the hand to Eddy, who now were complaining and being loud as usual.
"What are you even doing here, twerp? And where's Ed?" Kevin asked, not really expecting an answer – not that he cared either.
"The hell do you care? And I'm here to see Sarah, we're dating if you can't remember, shovel chin." Eddy replied with a venomous voice.
"Oh, right… Are you going to take the hand or not, dorko?" Kevin said, impatient to get away and meet Edd.
Eddy took the hand and got up, dusted himself off and took off and shouted to Kevin from a distance "you should keep an eye on the path and not have your heads up in the clouds, box head."
Kevin just shook his head and begun to walk to the art building.
The sun had now set and it had gotten colder and a bit windy. A crescent moon made its way up across the starlit sky, which reminded Kevin of the first time he saw Edd. Kevin smiled of the thought and he increased his pace.
When Kevin finally reached the building he met Nazz and Sophie outside, the both were talking about art, as usual, but dropped their conversation when they saw Kevin approaching them.
"Heya, Kev, in a hurry I see?" Nazz asked and giggled accompanied with Sophie.
"What are you even talking about?" Kevin replied and rose a brow.
"You haven't even changed from your practice clothes" Sophie said as she tried to stop giggle.
"Oh fuck, man… Oh well, nothing I can do about it now, is it ladies?" Kevin said slightly embarrassed and winked to his female friends.
"Dude, I don't think Edd is going to run away and not saying anything. You don't have to worry about missing him. He's probably not even going to come home to the dorm house until very late tonight. Damn, cowboy, don't stress." Nazz said and rose a brow to her red haired friend.
"Whatever do you mean with that?" Kevin asked and grew a little bit redder in his face.
Sophie shook her head and replied "it's so obvious that you are crushing hard on my brother."
Kevin didn't say anything just stood there dumbfounded.
"And I can assure you that Seung-Eun does not like the smell of sweat or dirty clothes, so you should run home and change. Nazz and I make sure he stays here until you get back" Sophie added with a warm smile on her face.
Kevin took Sophie's advice and sprinted home and took a shower and changed into navy blue chinos, a V-necked t-shirt that hugged Kevin so that you could see his toned body oh so well. Over that he had a zip-hoodie.
Kevin eventually got back to the art building, and as the girls had promised Edd was still there, talking with his sister and Nazz by his working space that were filled with sketches and textiles. The girls saw Kevin lurking in the hallway outside the door and decided to leave the two guys alone. Edd hadn't seen Kevin in the hallway yet, so when the girls left he simply returned to his sketches.
Kevin sneaked inside the room and stood behind Edd, without him noticing, stood behind him and observed the smaller male's movements when he drew new designs for his collection. Eventually Kevin couldn't just stand there without the other knowing about his present, so Kevin picked up his phone and wrote a text to Edd that said 'behind you'.
Edd picked up his phone to see who texted him and saw Kevin's name on the screen, unlocked his phone and read the text and got confused, but decided to turn around to see Kevin standing unnecessary close to him.
"JESUS CHRIST, KEVIN BARR" Edd yelped in surprise "WHY ON EARTH DID YOU DO THAT?!" he added.
"Oh calm down now, man hahah" Kevin said with an amused expression all over his face.
"God, you're hopeless, I'm going to start locking the door if you're going to continue with this stuff. My poor heart can't take much more. Goodbye cruel world." Edd said with a dramatic voice and pretended to faint.
"Oh no! My love, please forgive me!" Kevin played along, also he overly dramatic and run over to caress the smaller male who pretended to faint.
Soon they both burst out in laughter, Edd still in Kevin's arms.
Kevin's embrace tightened and he didn't want to let go of the Asian beauty.
"Uhm, I don't want to ruin the moment of this bromance or whatever you'd like to call it. But I'd appreciate if you could let go of me now, Mr. Barr." Edd said to the taller male who still held him in his arms.
Kevin blushed and let go of the other male who now stared at him with roused brows.
"Is there anything in particular that you wanted from me?" Edd asked.
"Nah, just wanted to spend some time with my pal, that's all, y'know." Kevin lied and scratched the back of his neck.
Edd watched his friend's behaviour "Are you sure there's nothing that you wanted to tell me?" he added and gave a suspicious look.
"Uh, y-yeah, hehe, nothing at all" Kevin said, starting to get nervous.
"Okay then" Edd simply replied and the returned to his sketches.
Kevin stood there in silence, watching the smaller male work for several minutes before breaking the ice.
"So, uh, what are you doing next Friday?" he asked and scratched the back of his neck once again.
"Well, I suppose there's this Halloween party, not sure if I'll go though. Why?" Edd asked his friend, without taking his eyes off the papers in front of him.
"Uh, y'know, we have a match on Friday before the Halloween party, and I… I wondered if you wanted to come and cheer for me. I mean of course Nazz will be there too and Sophie too most likely, since the girls are never away from each other." Kevin said "and after that maybe we could go together to the party?" he added.
There was a long silence before Edd spoke.
"I don't know, Kevin. I'm not really a big fan of sports, nor big parties." He answered coldly.
"Please, Edd, it would mean so much to me if you came!" Kevin almost begged, realising that he sounded really desperate.
Edd turned around and looked at Kevin "are you always so desperate when you ask your friends to come and watch your games?" he asked with a roused brow.
"Wha- No! Of course not!" Kevin answered "geez, what's with you anyways? Why are you acting so cold all of a sudden?" he said with a confused look on his face. Edd stiffened. After a while Edd had a weird expression on his face.
"I do apologise for such behaviour, Kevin." he started and then went quiet for a little while again.
"Have you ever felt something towards someone that you know you can't have? And if so, what do you suggest doing?" Edd asked and looked at Kevin, whose was confused until he registered what his friend had said.
"Oh man, have I? Actually I have a major crush on someone, but they don't know it and I'm too afraid to say something. But if you got more guts than I have, I suggest that you tell them how you feel." Kevin said with a blush creeping across his face.
"Hahah, no, I don't think that's such a good idea. I'll just keep it to myself. And also, I'd love to come and watch your game and go to the party afterward." Edd said with a smile.
"Oh, awesome! It's a date then?" Kevin said and winked
"If that's what you call it." Edd replied.
Kevin somewhat felt hopeful. Maybe Edd did shared the same feelings as Kevind did towards him? Oh god, did Kevin look forwards to the party now that he would be going with his crusch?
A/N: Once again I apologise for late update. I also apologise for the hasty plot in this chapter.
Thank you guys so so much for all your support!
