In the nurses office an hour later he finally awakes and see the last person he was expecting to see. Blinking a few times to make sure he's seeing correctly he stutters out "Kevin?"
Smirking he says "I see you're finally awake sleeping beauty."
Looks down feeling himself blushing profusely asks "How'd I get here?" Asks confused.
Rubbing the back of his neck a few times before answering not going unnoticed by Edd.
"Nobody messes with Double D!" Shouted someone from down the hall.
Everyone staring at the scene looked to see Ed speed walking to the scene. He walked with great determination with a look that could kill. A look you'd never thing he could posses.
"Hey guys look its dork number two" Alex says with a laugh not thinking twice about insulting him.
Ed reached the three walking right past Double D on the ground. With great determination he grabs the three and picks them up with no real effort and tosses them aside like the trash they are.
"What the fuck!" Guys get him" His two friends get up being bigger in stature then Alex and go for Ed but they stop once they see Kevin walking towards them with a look of anger. He stops short of reaching them right in front of Edd a look of sadness crosses his features looking down at him on the ground. Obviously in pain but no one notices the look cause once he looks up his face hardens into anger looking at Alex.
"What happened here?"
"See Kev my man we were just teaching this dork here a lesson you know how it is" says smirking but it soon vanishes.
"Go now" says with teeth clenched in such a quiet voice but with such anger. They leave without a single word and so does everyone else watching not trying to test the waters by sticking around any longer.
Edd still lays on the ground bruised badly from head to toe. But before he can help him Ed steps in front of him blocking his way towards Double D.
"Hey Ed I got this."
"No, I can not let you do that Double D is my friend you just seek to hurt him."
"Trust me on this dork that's the last thing I wanna do now look at the poor guy on the ground. By the way don't you got gravy to eat or something" At the mention of that he agrees to let Kevin help but not before he a quick warning.
"OK I'm trusting you I wouldn't want to hurt you, people see me as a lovable goof who doesn't know anything but I am strong, stronger then you even I can pick up one of Rolf's yak with just one hand, be careful with Double D he's family or I'll crack you like a chickens poor egg falling on the ground."
"Yea noted dude"
Walking over to Edd he picks him up surprisingly with easy wow he's light as a feather he thinks.
Edd groaning as he's picked up but he doesn't attempt to move or escape. Not soon after they start walking down the stairs to the nurses office on the 1st floor Edd passes out in his arms alarming Kevin so he quickens his steps.
Once at the nurses office he knocks on the door Ms. Lee opens it with half a sandwich in her hand but immediately drops it seeing Edd unconscious in someone's arms.
"What happened?"
"Some of the football team was kicking the crap out of him just look his cute face ruined."
"His what?"
Not even knowing him self what he said he stares confused.
"I said they were kicking the crap out of him."
"Yea well he's not going to be able to attend class for the rest of the day leave him here to rest I'll phone his parents thank you, you can head out to lunch Edd will be fine he's stronger then he looks."
She starts checking him for any serious damage but finds noting but minimal bruises declaring he just needs some rest she turns around to find Kevin still there. Seeing that he isn't leaving she decides to ask.
"So what are the names of the hooligans that were messing with poor Eddward?"
"Huh I don't know sorry" says in a low voice obvious that he's lying.
"But you said they were on the football team and you are team captain, if I'm not mistaken."
"I said I don't know lady."
Exhaling a breath in a annoyance "Fine, but ill still have to report this poor Eddward doesn't deserve this."
"Yea don't you think I know that" says feeling guilty that he didn't get there sooner.
"You like him don't you" blushing he turns around embarrassed.
"What are you talking about lady I ain't no fag"
"Whatever you say" says in a way a child would when there friend is lying about a crush.
"Well I'm heading out to the principles office to report this I'll be gone a while go on a head to class or lunch he'll be fine."
"Yea ok" but he doesn't move a muscle just stands there staring, admiring the way his chest rises and falls when he breaths the way his mouth is slightly parted when he sleeps, his almost feminine curves.
What am I thinking get a hold of your self Kev you're not a fag and you never will be, you just feel bad for the kid that's all. Looking down at his bruises and how prominent they all are. He lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding he sits down and waits he doesn't know why but he feels like he owes it to the dork.
Avoiding eye contact he tells him "well Alex was fucking with you so I might of stepped in and helped" "But as I was carrying you here you passed out I thought you died on me." teases to lighten the mood.
Oh dear I passed out in Kevin's arms. "Thank you, but why would you help me I thought you hated me?"
"Dude look at you, you couldn't defend your self from a fly let alone that jerk Alex."
Feeling offended retorts with "For your information Kevin I am quiet capable of handling things in my own ways"
"As if dork you're as tough as a Chihuahua."
Ignoring the insult as he remembers something.
"Wait! What time is it I got to go to class!" Edd says in a panic.
"Dork hold up its ok Ms. Lee excused you from classes for the rest of the day."
"Oh, wait what about you?"
"Don't worry about me dork got it covered" Kevin says apprehensively.
Edd senses he's lying but lets it go.
"Its only 12:30 what now?" Edd says looking down at his cellphone.
"We could skip for the rest of the day I know this really cool burger joint not far, unless you want to go home and rest?" Kevin says
Edd looks down not able to look Kevin in the eyes fiddling with his fingers a nervous habit.
"Dork hey you ok? Yo Edd"
Edd not realizing he zoned out snaps back to reality hearing his name. But starts to think he said my name and not dork or double dweed or any other nickname he has giving me.
"I-I w-would l-love…"
"Geez Dork yes or no" Kevin says interrupting Edd's stuttering.
Edd looks down while blushing embarrassed over he's stuttering.
"I don't got all day dork I'm starving since I missed lunched" Kevin says growing impatient.
Edd snaps his head up and stares at Kevin with wide eyes.
"Oh dear lets go then, food is a substantial part of the development process I wouldn't want to hinder it on my account" Edd spits out in one breath also hopping off the cot.
"Ok, yea lets go then" Kevin says looking confused at Edd's sudden energy.
As there walking towards the school parking lot Kevin mentions that he doesn't have an extra helmet. That's when Edd freezes feet from the main entrance.
"Dork you alight? You look pale not that you're not always but you know you look more" Kevin says rambling while rubbing his neck a nervous habit that he does when embarrassed or nervous .
"S-sorry but I seemed to have forgotten that you ride a motorcycle" Edd says looking down.
"Really Dork that's what got's you looking near death?" Kevin says with a smirk
"I thought you liked Bikes I seen you carrying that book once on the mechanics of bikes" Kevin says with his eyes going wide.
"I mean I just happen to see you walking by and was surprised seeing you with that book not saying that I watch you or anything I just happen to glance that way once swear" Kevin says fast trying to back track what he said.
Edd just staring wide eyed thinking Kevin watched me oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. He pulled his beaning over his eyes feeling embarrassed.
"How cute" Kevin mutters. Then walks away feeling embarrassed about what he said.
Edd lifts his hat when he hears foot steps.
"K-Kevin?" then speed walks to catch up.
"Kevin? Did I do something wrong?" Edd says looking like a kicked puppy.
How adorable, wait what? Did I just think Edd's adorable what the fuck, you ain't a fag get a grip man.
"Umm you didn't hear me call you…" Kevin trails off not wanted to repeat it.
"Hear you call me what? Dork, Dweeb, Double dweeb or dork?" Edd says with a small laugh finding this humorous for no particular reason.
Kevin lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding in "No never mind dweeb come on I'm starving here" He says as he tosses his helmet to Edd which surprisingly he catches.
"It's the only helmet I have here but you can wear it ill be good I love the wind in my face it feels amazing" Kevin says with a smile.
"O-oh ok but why d-don't we walk you did say it's a not far and it is a b-beautiful day right? P-perfect for walking d-don't you think?" Edd says while looking down and fiddling with hands.
"Dork are you afraid to ride my bike?"
"Its not that I'm afraid to ride your bike trust me, I've ridden way more dangers contraptions with the Ed's in my younger days. Its just that I'm apprehensive with new drivers not trying to say you're a bad driver but I seen you riding around the cul- de-sac before and you can be pretty reckless and I'm not trying to die today" says slightly serious half teasingly.
"What you trying says dork that I can't ride?" says feeling offended.
"For you information dweed for the past year that I've had my license I've never once gotten in an accident or scratched my baby here." Says feeling proud.
Edd still not feeling convinced debates in his head weather to get on or not.
"So are you getting on the damn thing dork or what I'm hungry here!" Say as he hops on his bike feeling slightly annoyed.
Oh dear, oh dear what to do. I can't mess this up a chance to finally befriend Kevin. Against his better judgement he reluctantly puts on the helmet and approaches the bike muttering "Good bye, cruel world."
Kevin laughing grabs Edd's hand placing it on his shoulder for support making Edd blush from the contact but gets on the bike surprisingly with ease.
"Hold on dork wouldn't wanna fall just ask Nazz" says with a laugh.
Edd holds on to his shoulder to scared to touch Kevin anywhere else.
"Around the waist dork unless you really wanna fall."
Seeing as Edd isn't going to comply he headed out and suddenly feels Edd grab him around the waist tightly. Which makes him laugh slightly.
Not long after they arrive to the burger joint that has a light 1950's feel to it.
Edd immediately removes his hands from Kevin like they burn but yet feeling like he would of liked to hold on if even for a bit longer. Once inside they immediately seat themselves in a booth in the back and not soon after a young waitress in her 20′s comes to take there order.
"Hi what can I get you guys started with"
Edd pipes up first "Just a water please."
"How about you cutie"
Taken aback by the complement but answers "Coke, thanks."
As she walks away Edd says "so always the charmer where every you go" Edd says giggling.
"What can I say dork, the ladies love me" says smirking.
Laughing still "How rewarding that must be."
"It can be" says with a wink.
After that they had a more relaxed conversion till the waitress returns with there drinks.
"Here you are so what can I get you guys to eat"
"Just a salad please, dressing on the side"
"Burger and fries for me" As the waitress walks away Kevin says.
"Geeze Edd you eat like one of those stick thin girls who think there fat but aren't."
Feeling offended "Well Kevin for you information I happen to enjoy salads, I actually care what goes in my body unlike most of my peers who stuff there faces with junk food do you actually know what's in that stuff?"
"Woah dork chill, I was joking" says with a smirk holding up his hands.
Oh dear "My apologizes Kevin, just I get it" Kevin looking very confused.
"You don't think I know I'm smaller then most my fellow male adolescents my age some may say I even have" this last parts he kind of whispers not low enough Kevin didn't catch "a more feminine physic."
"Hey Edd I wasn't thinking that yea maybe you are smaller even twig like but that's something you can work on dude if you really wanted to" Kevin says kind of feeling bad.
"But look dork you don't got to change for no one you just be you ok but look dude your the smartest kid in school, so don't feel bad cause man i wish I could be as smart as you sometimes" Says with a slight blush not going unnoticed by Edd "But we all have something we hate but we don't let that hold us back so don't change unless you really want to ok dork?"
Edd feeling a whole lot better but yet surprised that it was his former bully making him feel better. Maybe we can finally look past everything in the past and be friends.
Edd slightly blushing says "Yea, ok thanks Kevin."
Finally the waitress returns with there order. After that they have a nice conversion and friendly banter surprisingly enjoying each others company. Once there finish they head out Edd not as nervous this time around to get on the bike. On there way back to the cul-de-sac Edd recalls he has robotics club but for once decides not to attend. His team mates will under stand once he explains at there next club meeting on Wednesday.
Now back in the cul-de-sac Kevin parks his bike in his drive way and gets off followed by Edd.
"Well thanks for the meal, I still say you should of let me pay for my part" Edd says slightly sulking.
"Dork relax I invited it's all good" Kevin says with a smile.
"Well thank you, I should be heading home I have homework to do well thanks again see in school tomorrow" Edd says as he walk away with a slight smile on his face. "Yea see you, Edd" Kevin says but whispers his names for some unknown reason feeling surprisingly giddy which slightly confuses him but he like whatever this is.
