I'm soooo sorry about the long wait. I have no real excuse honestly, I've had the story written for the past month I just haven't gotten around to editing it cause I've been in a really bad funk. But I slowly seem to be getting better. But enough of me enjoy some Kevedd Fluffiness
Cue in 3...2...1
Oh, Dear look at this mess I'd never just leave it to sit like this to have two hours of fun? The movie was absolutely atrocious, but I did rather enjoy Kevin's company. What would Eddy think? He'd probably go on a rant, of how could I possibly even spent time with Kevin. But these feeling toward Kevin don't seem to be dwindling. Oh my, what would he think? We are now finally becoming friends and I have…. Oh, what exactly do I feel towards him. Is this what a crush feels like? Is this what all my friends have been talking about all these years. The fast beating heart, dry mouth, and an uneasy stomach but not like an upset feel more like hundreds of dancing butterflies in there. I rather do like this feeling but they must be stopped right? Talking to Kevin is absolutely out of the question. Eddy, he'd probably just make fun of me.
"Enough Eddward" letting out an exasperated breath, stressing over this isn't going to help at all I just have to hurry and finish cleaning before Kevin thinks I skipped out on him.
Clearing his mind and just taking all the stress away one cleared stain at time 20 minutes pass by relatively fast. His phone buzzed breaking him out of his trance. He walks over to the table to pick it up and it's a picture message from Kevin holding a box of pizza with a sad face underneath the picture it says dork pizzas here where are you I'm hungry.
Checking his cell for the time and sure enough, 30 minutes have passed by since he started cleaning and he's still not done. An internal struggle between finishing cleaning and going over to Kevin's has him at a stand still. Surely the mess can wait but he doesn't think his ocd will let him. But the thought of standing up Kevin has his heart keeping up speed and stomach doing flips at Kevin angry or possible sad. That's when he stood up and made up his mind. Putting down the rag, spray, and taking off his rubber gloves he leaves them on the counter and washes his hands then proceeds to make his way to the front door. Ignoring the nagging in the back of his mind telling him this is a bad idea leaving the mess behind. But standing up Kevin just somehow seems worse then triggering his ocd. Is this really what a crush possible feels like so can I concluding now that I'm possible Bi? Or Homosexual? I never ventured into my possible sexuality. My studies have always been more important than any romantic endeavors.
Taking one last look back at the mess he decides to leave it till later somehow pizza with Kevin just seems a little more appealing. So at the door, he puts on his shoes and heads out locking the door behind him.
Walking the small distance to Kevin's place a minute later he's knocking on his door.
Kevin answers the door surprisingly quick with a huge grin.
"It's about time Dork almost thought you stood me up". Winks at him then makes his way to the living room where the pizzas waiting.
Edd now feeling guilty cause he almost did just that, "Oh heavens no, one does not pass up free food" giggling at his own joke.
"Ha good one dork, now come on I'm starving."
"Kevin I am quite surprised you didn't live up to your promise?"
"My promise?" Seemingly very confused.
"About starting without me since from the text the food arrived five minutes ago."
"Oh right, well what kind of friend would I be if I did that huh dork?" Smirking at him with a raised brow.
Oh my, he waited for me this must really mean were good friends or… no nonsense Edd never that. But he can't help the blush that creeps on his face.
"Oh well, that was nice of you let's eat then" Edd declares.
"Rad that's what I'm saying, by the way, dork I got a pepperoni pizza that cool?"
"Yea that's fine with me."
"Rad I'll be right back with some drinks."
Taking a seat on the couch in the living room he starts noticing the differences between his and Kevin's living room, his actually looks lived in and not like a model from a catalog like his friends like to point out on numerous occasions.
The walls are filled with pictures from past memories, there seems to be a portrait of Kevin at every stage in his adolescence. In his there just a huge portrait of him with his parents but that was taken years ago when he was 14 Now he's almost 18 and his parents haven't even bothered to update it. Still looking around with amazement and maybe a hint of jealousy.
For how long he's actually known Kevin, he's never actually been inside his place. The unfamiliar setting suddenly starts to make him uncomfortable but he tries to shack it off this is just Kevin and it's just like any other house pictures on the wall, a television, couch, and coffee table all the same things in any bodies house. Simplifying his environment makes him more comfortable about being over here.
Kevin returns with two sodas and a water in hand.
"I wasn't sure what you'd prefer so I brought options coke or water?"
"I'll take the water thank you."
"Figured," says with a smirk.
"Well let's eat dork" pulling off a slice Edd proceeds to do the same and take dainty bites from the slice feeling to nervous to eat any other way.
Minutes passed by with both of them just eating not really saying anything.
"So wanna watch something?"
"Yes please," loving the idea of a distraction finding the silence torcher. But the tv is more of white noise since he cants stop over thinking his situation enough to focus on what's actually playing. What happened in 30 minutes? It went from being comfortable, to this awkward silence, say something anything. Thankfully Kevin beats him to it.
"So I heard Mrs. Briggs is going to assign an essay tomorrow about god knows what but you're a genius so no problem for you right?
"Well Kevin to popular belief even I struggle to comprehend things occasionally but yes Mrs. Briggs essay will probably be a piece of cake I have read ahead on the material for this semester and it's a lot of basic knowledge of past history.
"Damn dork maybe you can help me write mine, I suck at essays" throws himself back against the couch for dramatic effect.
"Why I would be delighted to help you out Kevin but I will not write it for you like Eddy has tricked me in the past to do" huffs in irritation "Why the nerve of him there's a zero tolerance on cheating he could have got expelled or worse I could of, if they found out."
"Woah dork no worries I won't ask you to write it I doubt you even would. I just really need to pass all my classes it's our senior year I'm really hoping to score me that football scholarship that would really help me out with paying for college. I have to maintain my g.p.a at above 3.0 I did well so far my freshman year till now with maintaining a B average but I'm a need to do better if I want that scholarship."
Edd can't help the smile that spreads across his face hearing how Kevin wants to better himself makes him feel guilty cause this whole time he's had him pegged for the stereotypical jock who's just play and no work.
"I'm so glad to hear that Kevin one must always strive to better themselves even once they think they've reached the top."
"That was a pretty cool saying dork mind if I steal that for football practice I think it will really help motivate the team since I won't be able to play for a bit." Looks down bitterly at his hand.
"Why that sounds like an excellent idea Kevin!" Says while reaching over for Kevin's left hand.
Kevin doesn't move he just lets Edd look over his injured hand. He can't help the blush that creeps on his face from the dork's gentle touch.
Edd looks up with a small smile "Well Kevin it seems the swelling has gone down a lot but not completely as long as you take care of it I say just 5 days and your hand should be good as new." A look of concern suddenly crossed Edd features.
"Kevin?"
"Yea Edd?" Can't help but smile seeing as Edd is still cradling his injured hand.
"What really happened to your hand?" Edd says cautiously, letting go of Kevin's hand.
"I know you said you punched a wall but why?"
Not being able to look Edd in the eyes he scrambles for something to say. "Ummm you see well that's hard to explain like I said earlier, I really rather not say you wouldn't get it."
"Kevin I'm here if you need to talk, trust me no matter what it is I'll try my best to comprehend if like you said its out of my element."
"But I'll never be able to help if you don't tell me, I'm an excellent listener." Says with a reassuring smile.
"Thanks, dork but not going to happen, I honestly myself don't even know why that thing Krystal said got me so pissed she just had to call me…" stops short realizing he almost told Edd the one thing he doesn't want anyone to know cause he isn't one right?
"She called you what exactly Kevin?" "I bet it can't be that bad I'm pretty sure I've been called worse." Say with a small laugh.
"I'm sorry."
"Why are you sorry?"
"Come on Edd, if it wasn't for me I'm pretty sure you wouldn't get called half of that stuff I'm so sorry dor… I mean Edd."
"Kevin thanks but there's no need for an apology I believe in second chances this here, us being friends I think that's more than enough. It's us saying the past is the past and one must always move on." Says with the most genuine smile ever.
"Dor… I mean Edd wow that's going to be hard to stop saying but thanks you really do have the purest heart." Edd can't help but blush crimson red hearing Kevin say that. It just made him feel some type of way that he can't properly describe with words.
"Well Kevin you can still call me dork if you want cause I can see it's getting confusing for you and we wouldn't want to injury your brain to cause someday you might need it." Says letting out a giggle.
"Haha very funny dork so you calling me dumb now and after we just got done talking about no more name calling," says with a smirk.
"Well Kevin that may be true but I'm only stating facts here."
"Is that right dork?" A mischievous smirk crosses his features
"Y-yea, no" feeling nervous now cause whatever Kevin's planning doesn't look good.
"KEVIN!" He yells out when he starts to tickle him "S-stop p-please" he tries to say between laughter.
"Admit I'm smart, dork!"
"N-N-never," says while trying to get up but Kevin is so much stronger.
"Admit it dork or the torture continues."
This goes on for a couple minutes every tickle they seem to be getting closer and closer to each other without realizing it. Until there literally face to face breathing hard from all the laughter there breath mixing, there mere centimeters apart.
"I give (heavy breathing) you're smarter" mischievous smirk almost identical to Kevin's earlier "then Nat at least."
Gets up before Kevin can in still any more torture.
"Seriously dork you're so getting it, this time, I ain't holding back," says with a smile.
"That requires you catching me first and I'm pretty fast so good luck."
"Yea right dork you forget I play football running's all I do."
Edd runs into the kitchen with Kevin not far behind "that may be true but years of running from bullies have made me fast" says sticking out his tongue.
Kevin freezes in his tracks feeling a wave of guilt wash over him. Edd now running out of the kitchen back into the living room expecting Kevin to be right behind him but when he isn't senses somethings wrong.
"Kevin?" Says walking back into the kitchen "Kevin are you alright?" Seeing Kevin just standing by the kitchen table with his head lowered cradling his injured hand has Edd running to him.
"Oh dear, did you hit your hand on the table I'm so sorry it was rather careless of me to be running around when I knew you could have injured your hand. Kevin, can I see it please so I can help Kevin, Kevin?"
Kevin just reaches for Edd and pulls him into the gentlest yet tightest hug ever. Edd just yelps in surprise and is to stun to move.
"I'm so ,so, so sorry Double D, I'm so sorry but I promise I won't let anybody pick on you ever again I swear to god I'll" At this point he's trembling in anger at himself, Alex , and anybody who's ever harmed the beautiful creature in his arms "I'll beat up anybody and I mean anybody who lays a finger on your beautiful body." Realizing too late what he just said he starts to panic eyes wide, mouth slightly open, and still holding onto Edd in fear of him seeing his most definitely red face.
After a few seconds of over thinking ways to retract himself, he starts to slowly let go of Edd.
Edd to stunned to say anything just stands lifeless in Kevin's arms. Oh my, did Kevin just say I'm beautiful. No, he obviously didn't mean it in any way or form in a romantic sense. Definitely not Eddward but just maybe, this is longer than actual friends would hug. No Eddward Kevin is not…"
"Uh, D-Edd I meant beautiful like well you know not like that just like friends you know right?" Kevin says in a very poor attempt to cover up what he really meant which is what?
"Yes most definitely understood," says with an unconvincing smile. Pulls out his cell for the time and his eyes go wide.
"Oh dear 9 o'clock already its way later than I anticipated I'm so behind I still got to get the kitchen cleaned before mother and father get home tomorrow, and I could probably skip my night reading, but this will most definitely cut time into my bedtime routine if I want to get adequate sleep for tomorrow oh dear I got to go."
Kevin glad for the change in pace but a wave of loss falls on him knowing Edd has to go. "Yea man that's cool I'll walk you out."
At the door, he opens it and leans against the frame with his arms crossed against his chest afraid he might hug Edd again and make thinks awkward all over, "Goodnight Edd I had fun today it was unexpected since" holds up his injured hand. "But weirdly enough I'm glad."
"I had a marvelous time as well hanging out with you yes unexpected, but all good things come in surprises. "
"I won't argue with that."
"Well must be going still so much to do before I can get into bed."
"Goodnight Dork," say with a small smile .
"Goodnight Kevin," says as he walking away with a smile that won't leave him. Half way to his house he turns around. But continues to walk backward slowly and yells out " I admit it you are," he says with a wink. And continues to walk normally back to his house. Once at the door, he turns one last time to wave bye.
Kevin stands there confused for a minute about what the dork could possibly be talking about so he just waves back and heads inside still trying to figure out what the dork was talking about. He starts cleaning up the mess he and Double D made when he spots a mini hand sanitizer on his table he remembers Edd used it when they were done eating going on about proper hygiene. The biggest smile appears on his face he can use this to talk to him. Why does it seem like trying to crack the DaVinci code when it comes to initiating a convo with Edd. But once the first piece is laid down the other pieces come together. The convo just flows but he always needs that first piece to start it.
It finally clicked right after finishing getting ready for bed what Edd said "I admit it you are"
"I win" is the last thing he says before drifting off to sleep with dreams filled with a certain beanie clad boy.
