Kevin POV

Kevin stared at the photo that he had taken of Desmond's apartment. Just in the corner he had captured the moment of utter betrayal. He closed his eyes, trying to rationalize with himself and list off reason why it would be stupid to break his iPhone.. or better yet. Break all of Edd's bones. It's what he deserved for being a traitor.

He took another deep breath, sipping at Coke as he made his way back to the sports dormitories. Can't let the guys know where I was. I'll just tell them I was with Nazz, he noted. As he approached the new modern looking white building he pulled out a key card, and held it to a red light on the door. A beep notified him that it had become unlocked and he stepped inside, shutting the big black doors.

"Hey Kev!"

The redhead looked over, seeing the blonde bob moving as the girl moved closer. Kevin quickly engulfed her into a tight hug, taking in her raspberry scented perfume. He rested his head onto her shoulder, looking behind her to see members from the soccer team approaching. Nazz quickly pulled away, straightening out her clothing. Kevin raised a brow and pulled back, crossing his arms and watching as the member came up behind the blonde. A tall brown haired boy made his way through, possessively tossing an arm over her shoulders. Kevin made eye contact with him, oh great now this.

"Who's this babe? I thought you were heading to the soccer dome already, practice is about to start."

"This is Kevin, remember my friend I had told you about? And I was on my way to the dome Jenson."

Kevin felt a tiny pang. After five years of dating this is how you are going to break it to me? Alright, fair enough. Better not be pissed when I tell you about Edd and how in love we are. He rolled his eyes, tossing a hand up and gulping at his Coke as he walked passed the crowd. Well... can't use Nazz as an excuse now. Kevin finished his drink, tossing his bottle into the recycling bin as he headed passed the main lobby. If he was going to get anywhere stalking somebody he was going to need his brains outside of Edd. Even if he was housed in the sports dorms (due to his scholarship, Edd had helped him enough through high school that he wasn't the idiot he was as a child. Kevin could lose his scholarship and still go for a degree on his own if needed) didn't mean that they didn't have a library of their own.

The redhead turned the familiar corners, zigzagging through the halls until he saw the giant stain glass dome that indicated he was inside of the library. He grinned, seeing his second favorite nerd from across the way. "Hey Wade, did you get my message?"

"Why yes Kevin, I did receive your SMS. I must say I am quite worried on the urgency of the information you required. Luckily though it wasn't hard to find information of the person you sought out. There was only one person who matched the criteria you gave to me. I do have do have I am not sure if you have the correct person though."

"Why wouldn't it be the correct person?" Kevin yawned and rubbed at his eyes, taking a seat next to Wade's computer desk.

"Well the gender Kevin. You did say that you were searching for a female dancer were you not?"

"Yeah? I'm pretty sure I know when I see a chick, dude."

Wade furrowed his brows and pushed the thick rimmed glasses back on his nose as he picked up a stack of paperclip print outs and handed them to Kevin," Yes, well... I searched the entire student database and found nothing on a female who was here as a dancer with the name Desmond." He took in a deep breath, flipping the front paper to reveal a photo from the student ID section and it matched who he had seen," However I did find more than enough information on a male dancer who is currently housed in with the dancers. He does have quite the extensive record and a well known choreographer amongst the art students. Also known for the fact that he has been kicked out of a few schools for fighting, quite the temper if you ask me."

Kevin stared down at the photograph. "Wow, I guess he really is a fag," he simply stated. Wade gave him a questioning look.

"Are you speaking of Eddward?"

Kevin nodded, flipping through the papers. Desmond had a large record, and he had one for a reason. Multiple papers on high school achievements. Some recommendations from previous teachers in his other schools. Kevin was quite bored until he had made it to almost the back of the stack. "What's this?" he held up a paper and examined it thoroughly. It was a print out of Desmond's daily schedule along with big red lettering that said 'be advised student is high risk'. "What the hell is a high risk student Wade?"

"It is a student that has repeatedly had charges against him whether it be by fellow student or teachers in themselves. It is a way for the higher ups to warn the faculty that they need to keep their students under surveillance. You would be surprised how many children are labeled this way at this academy. With as many walks of life as we have it is feasible to think that a few of us didn't have the greatest upbringings or made the best choices."

"How the hell does somebody with this," he lifted up at least fifteen pieces of paper," kind of record get in here? I know a few of the guys on the team have a record... but fuck. This guy has done some shit."

Wade took the papers from Kevin and read through the first page to skim the profile," it seems that he is related to the dean Kevin."

"What?!" Kevin ripped the papers back, staring at the papers. The words Desmond Sey Franklin looked back up at him. How the hell had he missed it? The kid was basically untouchable, which would explain why he was allowed to go to any school with that kind of record. He was a privileged child and Kevin would have to think of a way to get around his family and be able to knock him out of Edd's life. It was going to be a complicated process, but Kevin had become determined that if Edd pursued Desmond... well then Kevin wouldn't have a choice but to kill the redheaded queer.

"Dammit, well thanks Wade," he stood and held out his hand as the nerd gratefully shook it.

"Anytime Kevin. Enjoy the rest of your day."

Kevin sighed, flipping through the papers mindlessly as he exited the library. He checked his phone for the time before deciding that he would wait until the next day to start on his search, so that he could follow Desmond around as much as possible. It would aid him in being able to know what made the asshole tick, and what made him think it was okay to make out with Kevin's boyfriend.


Edd POV

The ravenette yawned and stretched out, his back popping and giving him an ever so loving shock of euphoria. "Any other questions?" he asked the small room of about twenty. Nobody answered so he dismissed the study session and proceeded to clean his station when he felt a pair of skinny arms wrap around him.

"Guess who?"

Edd reluctantly turned to see his newly found friend dressed up in a pair of black drop crotch, and a dark grey tank top with red straps underneath. He wore skate top plain black shoes that were heavily laced and Velcro'd to keep them in place.

"Hey I was heading off to practice. Want to join me so we don't have to go through the process of finding one another for tonight?"

"Sure. Did Coco ever tell you where we are supposed to meet? It's hard getting anything out of that shrimp when he is in a steady sleep," Edd rolled his eyes and quickly put on his backpack, making sure it was secure. He lifted a hand, sticking his finger under the red strap and lifting it causing it to emit a slapping sound as Desmond yelped.

"Hey! Don't break my support," he whimpered and rubbed his shoulder, walking towards the door and putting his hair up in a messy bun.

"Sorry I couldn't help myself dear Desmond. I was enticed by your choice of red today," he gave a half grin and quickly caught up to the man, laying an arm over his shoulders," maybe you can let me see it sometime?" Edd felt a deep nervousness run through him after the words fell out. He was less than comfortable with showing his personality. After ten years of worrying if Kevin would see or overhear something he had become quite paranoid. He felt a slight tap of a fist on his side and looked down to see a blushing redhead.

"Take me to dinner and I'll think about it."

They walked a bit more until they left the science building, making their way across the brick yard and into the tiny town like structure that was in the circular structure of the campus made up of coffee shops, and quick places for kids to get food and small clubs to hang out in the weekends. It was a way for the student committee to shamelessly promote their morals, even if most of the people still found their way around all of the rules and regulations. Edd was an exception, and very rarely indulged into the 'recreational' activities. Getting a degree and keeping his grades up were always his top priority. So far he had exceeded, and he hoped to keep it that way.

"Are you okay?"

Edd shook his head, yawning," you have no idea what you are going to get yourself into if you decide to pursue me. It definitely won't be an easy road." he looked over at the redhead nervously," just to warn you about future decisions ahead of time." a small smile crept over his face as he tugged at his black overcoat and looked forward at their path. "Are you cold? It is snowing..."

Desmond looked up at Edd and quickly shook his head, hugging his arms to his body," not really. I stopped by the studio and dropped my jacket off there. Plus I will probably be incredibly hot afterwards. I hope you don't get too bored waiting for this to get over." He quickly grabbed onto Edd's arm and stared up at him wide eyed, imitating a purring cat," please oh please say you will stay? I can't lose my newly found love interest." This caused Edd to jump slightly, turning his face to the side to hide the grimace masked in a deep red blush that covered his entire face.

"L-...l-love interest? I hardly think that you would have such an opinion of me so early."

"Jesus Edd, I said I was interested in dating you not getting married. Though I won't do either until you tell me who Kevin is. It's not often I get involved with somebody who has gone for more than one... ginger. Do you have a thing for redheads or sumfin'?"

"Kevin and I... Kevin and I were never a," Edd stopped. What were they? Edd knew what he felt he was to Kevin, but he had no idea how Kevin had actually viewed him. He had never stopped to ask what Kevin felt, because Kevin had never stopped to ask what he had felt all of those times he had been taken advantage of in multiple ways. "Kevin and I never dated, we were never an item. He was my first, and I let myself become his constant hate fuck. He took the love I wanted to share with him and turned it to ash. He and I... are nothing." the last word were a whisper as he found himself breathing heavily.

"Whoa, Edd, chill." Desmond stepped in front of him, placing his small hands on Edd's red shirt. "Kevin sounds like a real asshole Edd. I can't make up for what he did, but I do want to say that I am sorry somebody would ever think it is okay to treat an individual that way. You can rest assured that if we do take this any further you have absolutely zero pressure to do anything you don't want to. Even if it is something as simple as this." He grabbed Edd's hand gently and leaned in for a soft sweet kiss.

Edd took in a deep breath, leaning in to deepen the kiss. He pulled back at the feeling of Desmond beginning to shiver. Quickly he removed his black jacket and lay it over the redhead's shoulders before he could protest.

"Edd!" he whined and pulled the jacket onto himself quickly.

"Suck it up fire crotch, we aren't at the studio yet."

Desmond balled one of his hands into a fist and shoved it against Edd's nose, shaking it slightly," don't you ever call me that again you shithead." Edd put a gloved hand over Desmond's and lowered it down, planting a kiss onto his forehead. "If you think I use harsh insults, then you need to actually get to know my room mate." The smaller male sighed and laced his fingers in with Edd's, turning and dragging him into the building that contained his dance studio. He immediately took the elevator and directed him into the room filled with both men and women. They all looked up, some doing warm ups and others texting on their phones. One was most noticeably chewing very loudly on their gum. Edd took a seat on the bench next to the wall length mirror and pulled his laptop out, quickly going through his notes.

"Alright crybabies, I hope you're all ready for this because I am."

A few seconds later he heard a click and looked up to see everybody getting into a line, Desmond in the front all of them facing the mirror as he jumped up and down, before racing forward and tapping the play button. A noise cut through, everybody putting on a serious look as the music began, some of them clearing out and other beginning jerky. Edd smiled, recognizing it as a song Coco frequently played.

"Don't stop baby don't kill my vibe
Because I like how things are going right
now To the left, to the right, follow me
just like that Yeah ah ye ye yeah

Put your hands up like the
country's been liberated
Run like you'll twist your ankles
Shake it like you
have a spasm
Everyone sing along
Ringa linga ring ringa linga ring (like)
Ringa linga ring ringa linga ring (like)
Ringa linga ring ringa linga ring
Ringa linga (ahssa) ringa linga (it's good)"

Edd tapped away at his laptop, making notes for the study session next Sunday. He bobbed his head with the music. His phone buzzed and pulled him from the situation unfolding in front of him. He unlocked it, seeing that Kevin and Coco had both been messaging him.

[[13:21 from Kevin: DD we really need to talk about Desmond ]]

[[13:30 from Kevin: Edd, I know you're reading this. You never skip a text.. please get back to me.]]

[[13:33 from Kevin: Edd.]]

[[13:45 from Kevin: I'm coming to get you.]]

[[13:50 from Coco: DD, that jockstrap just stopped by. Please be careful until we meet up.]]

[[13:51 from Kevin: Edd I'm coming to get you. I know where you are at.]]

Edd looked at the tiny clock in the corner of his phone. That was nearly 15 minutes ago. He quickly looked up at Desmond and slowly rose, quietly walking from the room.

"Edd."

That's all he needed to hear to know who the words were coming from. "What do you need Kevin?"

He heard shuffling and assumed Kevin had been waiting against the wall. Edd kept his eyes forward, not wanting to see Kevin for whenever he "needed" Edd actually meant that Edd was going to end up on his stomach praying for death as Kevin more than had his way with his body. As predicted he was greeted with a rough kiss to the side of his face. Seconds later the jock appeared in front of him. He must have had a nap because the bags that were under his eyes that morning were almost gone. Kevin had a blank look on his face, furrowing his brows and lifting Edd's hands putting them up to his nose and making a disgusted look. He tossed them back to Edd's sides and looked away.

"Nazz broke up with me."

Edd lifted a brow," I tried to tell you years ago that she would inevitably leave you." he added coldly, rubbing his hands together to rid himself of Kevin's warmth. Kevin just shot his head towards Edd, giving a saddened expression. "What?" Kevin became closer, their slight height difference leaving Edd to barely tilt his head downwards. Kevin stared at Edd's shirt for what seemed like hours before he buried his face into the fabric. Edd was left not knowing what to do. Never in the entirety of knowing Kevin had he ever seen the jock in a weak enough state that he had wanted EDD of all people to comfort him. The ravenette slowly raised his arms and lightly wrapped them around Kevin. The sound of mumbled sounds came from his chest. "What did you say Kevin?"

"I said that I wanted you to become my official boyfriend."

"K-... Kevin! What gives you the right to pressure something that intense onto me?!"

Kevin pushed himself from Edd's arms. The once vulnerable boy was turned back into his normal ball of rage. "What Edd?! Are you just going to leave me too?! Huh?! What makes that cross dresser any better than me?!"

Edd gasped at the insult," don't throw insults at subjects you are ignorant about!"

"Don't know about? Heh," Kevin broke into a maniacal laughter," I probably know him better than you do. Do you actually know anything about him Edd? Hm?" He advanced towards the swimmer until Edd found himself backed into a corner with nowhere to go," had he hit you yet like he did his other 'partners'? Or did you not know about that?" He grabbed Edd by the wrist and slammed them above his head, leaning his lips onto Edd's neck. His hot breath causing Edd to recoil all of his negative feelings and instantly enter his state of letting Kevin get what he wanted. He hated himself for being this way, but it had become routine. It had been this way since the first night Kevin had taken his virginity. Edd had felt so absolutely disgusted and soiled that he had convinced himself Kevin was the only one who would ever want his body. Slowly over the years though it had gone from self disgust to just letting Kevin get what he wanted to. No matter the beatings and after maths Edd couldn't deny feeling a special connection for the man who owned every bit of innocence he had ever had.

"That's what I thought, you can't even speak. Don't forget who you belong to Edd.. don't forget where you started," he whispered before his mouth attacked the porcelain neck eliciting a pained sound from Edd. Kevin seemed to not care as he only attacked harder, the feeling of his teeth against Edd's neck become almost unbearably painful. Kevin thankfully pulled away soon after. Edd looked down to see his crazed face, a hint of blood on Kevin's lips. He clasped a hand over his neck, pulling it back to see the unmistakeable pattern of a round bite mark made in a bloody pattern on his palm. He looked up at Kevin, seeing the man smiling crazily.

"You're mine Edd, no twink is going to take you away from me."

"Kevin h-"

"I don't want to fucking hear it. I've had it enough from you in the last two days. I hope that when he sees that he is as disgusted with you as I am that he doesn't want anything to do with you. Until then.. think about my question."

Edd watched him walk away, keeping his hand pressed against the wound until Kevin was out of sight. The moment he couldn't see him anymore he darted for the men's bathroom," filthy filthy filthy." he mumbled to himself as he grabbed paper towels and pulled emergency cotton swabs out. Quickly he dressed the wound, fiddling around in the pockets of his sweatshirt and thanking himself for being a cautionary man as he found bandages, fitting them around the round bite mark. The unmistakable scene of black surrounded the mark showing that it was a bruise that was there to stay. He could deal with the bruise, however he couldn't deal with the reaction Desmond might give him and how Coco might perceive what had happened. Desmond was a possible lover, and new to what was happening with Edd. Coco however... Coco had ins with the football players and even if Edd advised him to not do anything about it, it wasn't his decision to make.

"Thanks for putting me in such an awkward situation," Edd grumbled to himself as he exited the bathroom and checked the time on his phone. [[14:45]] Desmond had gotten out of practice fifteen minutes ago and Edd knew he would be looking for him. He trudged through the hallways until he arrived back at the door for the studio. Slowly he opened it. A few stragglers hung around to talk to Desmond. Edd thanked it and immediately ran to his backpack doing everything to hurriedly collect his belongings. As he put his laptop into his backpack he felt his face being jerked up and an alarmed Desmond looking at his obviously noticeable bandages and large black bruise. Edd hissed in pain, taking his neck back and putting his backpack on, straightening himself up.

Desmond had obviously just showered, the messy red hair now a curly mess that was freshly combed over his face. He had changed his pants to a slightly different pair and opted out of a shirt. Edd thanked that he had worn a winter parka so that it could be zipped up over the red bra. "Edd. Edd you look like hell! What the fuck happened while I was teaching?"

Edd tried to wave him off, opening up the studio door and pushing Desmond outside. The redhead crossed his arms and stood straight, leaning his chin up in a sign of protest. "I'm not going to move unless you tell me-"

"Edd!" The ravenette had opted for a less vocal reasoning and decided to go for his way of dealing with Coco. A.k.a. he didn't feel like talking and had lifted the man up and tossed him over his shoulders, walking without saying a word.

"Edd! I know you can hear me! Put me down this instant."

"Oh? What happens if I don't?"

"You.." Desmond grunted, and stopped fighting against being held by the toned man. He tried to think of a way that he would be able to threaten Edd without actually doing it. "I guess you just won't be able to see this red bra. I do have the matching panties too."

Edd immediately stopped, and set the redhead down, scowling down at the raving man. Desmond crossed his arms again, this time in victory. "Curse you for ever bumping into me that night; and curse my body for still having it's animal instincts." The dancer let out a series of laughs, the ravenette's glare growing as he damned himself for his natural feelings.

"Oh my god, Edd!"

Both of the boys looked over to see a shocked Coco covering his mouth and running towards the pair, two of the football players following behind him awkwardly.

"Edd what happened to your neck?!"

The swimmer gulped, Kevin was fucked... and that was an understatement.
