Double D's POV
I'm in my last period class, just walked in late and the teacher was surprised but let it passed which made others give me look. I was fortunate that she allowed it to pass since I wasn't in a very good mood to explain my whereabouts.
The stupid jock, excuse my language, was outdoing himself today on being unusually extra stupid. Butting in onto my problems when I know perfectly well I must do something about it the only reason why I haven't yet is because I hate attention. To cry over such a thing is what I find truly weak and I was not weak!
"I am your bodyguard!" Kevin's voice echoed in my head again and I felt furious for a second but I calmed myself down easily.
Why would he want to help me? I thought and peered out the window of the school, I could see the road that lead to the cul-de-sac and on it was Kevin speeding on his bike home. He looked pretty angry... Sigh I guess I shouldn't have been so rude to him earlier. I don't regret most of the things I said, even though I was quite surprised that I did say them, but pushing people away is just my nature...
Kevin was just trying to help after all. Maybe I can just go over to his house after school and apologize. Doesn't sound too hard since he lives across from me.
I nodded my head in conclusion to the idea and face my attention back to the board for a moment until the bell rang again.
Huh? The bell rang? Was I really that deep in thoughts?
I hurried to pack my stuff back into my bag to leave. I start walking down the hall, saying goodbye to the teachers I knew,
"Oh, Eddward!" Mr. Jameson yelled from his room and I stop to enter,
"Yes?" I replied and he pulled out a stack of papers,
"Sorry to bother you but I was wondering if you could possibly give these to Kevin. I know he lives in the same area as you so I was really hoping you could deliver the classwork and homework he missed also the papers he has to makeup if he want's to pass this marking period." Mr. Jameson said and I nodded to him with a small smile,
"Sure. I was planning to talk to him anyways." I said and took the papers and stuffed them into my messenger bag then walked off and saw Ed and Eddy waiting by the front exit. I walk over to them and Eddy turns his head to look at me, his smile was on wide on his face and Ed was laughing.
"Oh, hey Double D." Eddy said and I smiled in return, "Double D!" Ed then wrapped his arms around me so tight I couldn't breath correctly.
"Ed... Oxygen... Lungs... Need." I tried saying and Ed released.
This was the usual, Eddy and Ed waiting for me, making jokes and I come and Ed strangles me in a bear hug then we go walk home together. Ed and Eddy kept making jokes, insulting teachers and making fun of people while I just listened and occasionally laughed along. This felt normal, being like this with my friends.
As we walked home Eddy was surprisingly less humorous, this kinda worried me so I thought it would be nice to ask whats wrong,
"Eddy, you okay? Something on your mind?" I ask and he look over to me and shrugged before answering, "Yeah, just thinking about the Halloween Dance, you know the one that's coming up in a few weeks."
"Oh, right. So we going?" I said, usually we would go together as a group and Eddy would try to put a fee on the punch and other things as well.
"Well the thing is that I was thinking maybe I wanna go with someone, like a girl or something." He said and his face was blushing in embarrassment.
"You're gonna balls up and ask Nazz?" Ed said and I laughed a bit at it.
Eddy had a crush on Nazz, a blonde female from the cul-de-sac. Well we all did when we were younger but me and Ed outgrew it, unlike Eddy who still stutters whenever he tries talking to her then me and Ed would have to steal him away from her so he would stop embarrassing himself.
"Hell yeah I am. Watch the master at work tomorrow." Eddy replied to Ed.
"Since when you worked at Stutter-R-Us, master?"* Ed replied and I couldn't help but laugh at that one. Eddy just mumbled a few curse words under his breath and Ed gave a triumph grin.
Before we knew it we had already reached the cul-de-sac and Ed and Eddy went home before I did, I told them that I had to give Jimmy his handkerchief.
I approached Kevin's house, the anger from earlier today came back a bit. I rang his doorbell and immediately heard a low voice man shouting Kevin's name to answer the door. A couple stomps later the door was swung open and Kevin stood there, dumbfounded for a bit before he wiped it off.
"Um, hey..." He said his eyes was looking else where as if he was trying to avoid eye contact.
"Hey... Is it okay if we talked?" I asked politely and the dumbfounded look returned on his face, his mouth was a bit gaped too.
"Uh, yeah! Sure. Come in, we can talk in my room." He said and opened the door more, I slowly walked in and noticed the smell of a lit cigarette and the house reeked of alcohol. Kevin went up a flight of stairs and I followed him to his room.
His room was the mess of all messes, clothing was thrown everywhere along the floor and his desk was stacked with papers, game cases and a few trophies. The only thing clean in his room was the flat screen TV on his wall. He was playing Black Ops 2, it was obvious cause the TV was on and it was in the player lobby.
Kevin threw off the cloths that were on his bed onto the floor then gestured me to sit. I hesitatingly sat on the bed that had sport themed covers and Kevin sat besides me. His eyes were on me, waiting for me to speak but I couldn't really remember why I wanted to talk. Maybe it was the overwhelming smell of so much cologne in the air of his room, though it did covered the smell of cigarettes and beer very well so I didn't mind all that much.
My eyes wondered the room without turning my head and I saw the black jacket he had on earlier laying on the floor and I remembered everything that had happened and why I wanted to talk to him again.
"About today..." I started then looked at Kevin and saw that he frowned at bit,
"Sorry, I know I shouldn't have been up in your business... it's just... I don't know, it bugged me. Like you're cool and all and you have feelings to and I just don't see why some people have to put you down like that. That's just not cool." He said and it kinda shocked me a bit and now I really felt bad for snapping at him. His intentions were good and I was just being rude.
"No, I'm sorry." I said and then Kevin looked at me again dumbfounded. He's starting to perfect that face.
"You were only trying to help and I had no right to have been rude to you so... Um, if the offer is still up then I'll allow it..." I said shyly a bit. It was quiet for a long moment and the only thing you could hear was the tune of Black Ops 2.
"So what you're saying is that you want me to be your bodyguard?" Kevin asked and I nodded.
"Well you don't have to be only that..." I said, still shy and I have no clue why. Kevin looked shock and I think I see red on his cheeks
"You can be my friend too, if you want to." I continued and Kevin grinned at me.
BA-DUMP*
Whoa, what was that? I asked myself.
"Oh, almost forgot." I said and pull my bag onto my lap and take out the pile of papers, "Your teacher wanted me to give you this." I hand over the paper and Kevin groaned,
"Ugh! I hate homework!" He complained and I laughed a bit.
"It can't possibly be that hard." I say and he eyes me.
"Coming from the boy genius." He replies.
"Coming from the boy who pays attention during class." I returned the smart tone attitude.
"Whatever." Kevin laughed then grabbed the PlayStation controller and started playing Black Ops 2. I sat and watched, enjoying the time for a bit. Oddly enough I felt comfortable around Kevin.
"So Double D, what you plan on doing for the Halloween Dance?" Kevin asked but his attention was still on the TV screen as he capped someone with the KAP-40 pistol.
"No clue." I replied, my attention was on the screen as well.
"What you mean? Don't you and the other Eds go to do some scamming?"
"Yeah but this year Eddy wants to do something different. I may not go, never liked dances anyways. Watch out, sniper in window at 3 o'clock." I said then Kevin turned to his right and shot down the sniper.
"Thanks and how bout you spend day with me?" He asked and I shrugged,
"Don't you got a date to the dance?" I asked him.
"No, haven't got the balls to ask the person I like to go with me." He replied
"Fine by me then. What we gonna do?" The match end and Kevin was top with 31 kills and 5 deaths.
"Don't know, maybe just watch some movies or play video games?" He said while adjusting some gun classes.
"Sounds like fun I guess. Is it okay if we do it at my place though?" I asked and he nodded. I take a peak at the time and noticed it was getting late,
"Well I'm going. See you at school." I said then dashed out the door, Kevin's dad really made me feel uncomfortable with his drunken glare. His dad was built and looked a bit younger than normal dads but for some reason I felt cautious around his dad so I left the house fast and returned to my own empty house.
Parent's are extreme business types and never show up, probably if it's my birthday and Christmas but that's about it. This empty house of mine in which I did the cooking and cleaning and laundry... it makes me feel lonesome. I never know the feeling of having parents that love you, even though I'm sure... sort of... that my parents do love me but they're never here. They leave little notes around the house that I would have to do every day and it gets tiring. Some days I don't even know why I do them since the house never gets dirty and there's no one but me who lives in it. I've been stuck as the obedient and educated child for a bit too long and I suppose recently my personality has changed. I am almost rebelling against Mother and Father with less use of big words that would stun others for a be as they try to comprehend what I just said. I'm just tired of being someone I'm not and I'm not perfect. As a young child I tried my hardest to be perfect, cleaning everything in sight so everything was perfect. Learning more than I should so I had the perfect brain and such things like that but recently I have caved into the fact that I have flaws. That I am a screw up and I'll never live up to other's perception of perfection.
*Toy-R-Us pun in case some of you didn't knew.
*SPOILER! Those who don't read manga, this is a small way you definitely know this character is falling in love.
Hola! So sorry for the delay. My wi-fi was being all screwy so I couldn't hop on the internet. Also school is going to start soon so these delays might occur more often but I will not be discontinuing! Thank you for the reviews, truly felt the love and I love you all as well. I know that Double D in this definitely doesn't seem like the normal Double D, well that's because in this I want to make Double D more relate-able. I wish I didn't make this all about a Double D POV because I really wanted to throw in Kevin's thoughts when Double D accepted his offer but I'm sure you could imagine the dirty thoughts Kevin was having ;) Please submit a review, in fact you may ask anything and on my next chapter I'll post the answer/my opinion to it. Matane!
