Eddy could feel his friend's eyes on him. It felt odd that Double Dee was taking all this so well. Usually, he would be freaking out over something like this. He wondered, although very briefly, if his friend was working together with Kevin. But he shook those thoughts away as soon as he saw the look on his friend's face. Besides, he, Double Dee and Ed had been through everything together. Would Double Dee really try to ruin their friendship?

"Um... Eddy?" Double Dee's gentle voice said, breaking into his thoughts.

He met the other's gaze and the last ounce of his doubt ebbed away. Double Dee wasn't going to betray him. It didn't even seem like Double Dee even knew how Eddy felt about him.

"Eddy?" Double Dee repeated, the worried look returning.

Ok, that's it. I gotta reply to him now... or else he's going to have a panic attack. He thought. Although, he had to admit that the look of worry on his friend's face was rather cute.

"Kevin said that, if I didn't have sex with you, that he and some of his friends were gonna... gonna... jump you. Possibly even hurt you." Eddy said. More like rape you. He added silently, still a bit angry with Kevin and just jumping to a conclusion like he usually did.

Double Dee rose his brow and giggled despite the moment. It made Eddy both surprised and angry. How could his friend laugh at a time like this?! He glared rather hotly at his friend and nudged him in the shoulder.

"I'm being serious. It's what he said." Eddy snapped, still a bit fearful for Edd.

"Oh Eddy... You really think Kevin's that stupid? It's quite obvious that his adrenaline rush and anger kept him from thinking straight." Double Dee pointed out calmly.

Eddy fell silent at that since he realized that his friend was probably right. Then why did he feel disappointed...? Did he... Did he actually want to have it with his friend?

No way! That's insane. Eddy thought as he watched his friend return to his labeling.

Eddy frowned and leaned against the wall, trying to keep all those odd thoughts out of his mind and tried to focus on other things. Like... how he no longer scammed people and which gave him more time to actually enjoy his time with Ed and Double Dee. Rather than trying to hide how insecure he was.

"Do you mind if I stay for a little while longer?" Eddy asked.

Double Dee glanced at him over his shoulder and nodded a little bit.

"I have chores to do... but yeah. I suppose you could stay. But what about Ed? Surely he'd like some companionship as well." Edd said, his face now looking unsure.

"I spoke with him this morning. He said that he had to babysit Sarah and Jimmy." Eddy replied, sounding a bit irritated. He had kind of wanted all three of them to hang out together. But, oh well, it was fun with just him and Double Dee.

Suddenly, a very dirty idea popped into Eddy's mind and he shook his head to clear it. He didn't know how Double Dee felt about him and he felt that it was wrong to try to do something with his friend if he didn't know how the other felt.

Maybe we could do something fun together. Eddy thought with a smile.

"Hey, um, Double Dee. Do you want me to um... help you?" Eddy asked with a blush forming on his face.

Eddy saw Double Dee bend over to pick something up and marveled at the sight of his friend's butt. It took him a moment to realize were he was looking and he stopped abruptly, looking away before his friend noticed. What was he thinking!?

Double Dee looked up at his friend and smiled that cute little smile of his. Eddy's blue eyes met Edd's green ones and he gulped before looking away. So pretty...

"That would be very kind of you, Eddy." Double Dee hummed softly.

Eddy nodded and then looked around the house for one of Double Dee's parents' infamous sticky notes. It didn't take him long to find one and he grimaced at what it read, "Double Dee, please wash the dishes and put them away." ~Mom.

That can't be healthy for the kid. Shouldn't his parents be home a bit more often? Eddy wondered, feeling bad for his friend. He'd never really noticed it until now. And, to think, he'd used them as a joke on Double Dee before.

Eddy bit his lip. Whelp... time to get to work.
