Chapter 2! Here comes Kevin!
Double Dee was a little angry about the situation. Here he was sitting in the hot sun trying to sell this crap while no doubt Ed and Eddy were playing at the swimming hole. It wouldn't be the first time they had ditched him so they could have fun and it most likely wouldn't be the last. Grumbling Double Dee was about to take off his hat when he heard a motorcycle coming in his direction. The rumbling of the engine stopped and a lean rather tall teen put the bike into park. Double Dee sat up straight hoping to maybe make a sell so his time spent out frying in the sun wouldn't have been in vain.
Kevin made sure the kick stand was sturdy before making his way to the stand. Pulling off his helmet he made a grunt of relief. His orange-red hair was wet and matted on his head causing the teen some discomfort. Kevin swaged over to Double Dee glad to see that he was alone.
"Hey Double Dork, what are you doing out in this heat?"
"Salutations, Kevin. Eddy has me trying to sell these fans."
"Fans huh?" Kevin picked up one examining it. He always found it amazing how Double Dee could make this stuff from scrap.
"Where is the little prick anyway?"
"He and Ed went to the swimming hole to make another stand."
Snorting Kevin put the metal fan down to lean across the counter. He never liked the way Eddy treated Double Dee. He wasn't about to tell that to him though.
"Why don't you close up early and me and you can go swim at my house. My dad just had a pool built and it would be a waste if nobody uses it but me."
Double Dee was a little shocked at Kevin. True he had spent some time with the other teenager (mostly to tutor him in some of his classes.) but he really didn't think the two of them would ever be alone together just hanging out.
"Kevin wouldn't you rather go hang out with Nazz or Rolf, maybe Natt?"
Shrugging his shoulders Kevin pulled his arms up behind his head. Double Dee wasn't making this easy.
"Nazz is hanging out with Sarah and Jimmy, Rolf is doing some farmer stuff, and I think Natt got another job. So what do you say Double Dork you want to hang out?"
Thinking Double Dee removed his hat letting the breeze blow through his ebony hair. The heat was making him a little dizzy. Kevin stared at the smaller teen. He had seen him without his hat before but it was rare. He still couldn't get over how cute he looks without it.
"Okay Kevin I'll go, but only if you buy one of these. If you don't I won't hear the end of it from Eddy."
Smirking Kevin pulled out his wallet. He was happy to buy Edd's inventions. He could add this one to his collection. Paying for the fan he helped Double Dee pack up the merchandise and they headed over to Kevin's motorcycle.
"Wait Kevin I don't think I can ride on that."
Confused Kevin offered Double Dee the helmet but he swatted it away from him.
"No it's not just about the safety. This bike only has one seat. If I ride with you I'd have to hold on to you pretty tight."
That was kind of the idea
"Don't worry Double Dee I might be a little sweaty but I don't have any diseases. It won't kill you to hold on for a few blocks."
With that said Double Dee agreed and got on after Kevin. Carefully he laced his fingers around Kevin's stomach trying not to touch him too much. As Kevin began to drive he found it almost impossible not to grip at the other boy. He really should lecture Kevin about the importance of abiding to traffic laws.
