I decided to add a second chapter to get a few more people interested. I'll post a chapter a week after this. Also the relation kinda starts off slow, I don't believe in. "Hi i just met you I love you." type of things. So be patience it will work out. And yes this rated M. FOR REASONS! It will get sexual, violent, and maybe have gore in later chapters. For now enjoy gushy-ness!
The morning had started off slow, Edd surprising himself by waking up later than six on the dot, but after all that cleaning he wasn't to surprised, cleaning was still very much apart of his life but he had grown out of the habit of being overly clean while in college where working in labs, where most germs were necessary. Groaning as he sat up, pulling the covers away and moved out of the bed, after remaking it, Edd took a quick shower moving to his thankfully clean kitchen. Eating a bit of fruit that he had brought with him, knowing no food would be in the house, besides canned goods. He would have to remember to shop today. Now that the place was clean he could quickly move his things into the house.
Leaving the door to the house open for easy access the boy looked out over the Cul-de-sac. The houses of his child hood friends, the alley way, and the park. The entire domain he had spent his young life at, smiling brightly at it all not that he could have fought the excited smile for long, he began moving his things into the house he had ordered the boxes lightest to heaviest in the car. Moving his boxes of clothes, bedding, and a few pillows. Leaving the trunk full of heaver things for last, full of books, trophies, and other things he had collected. Heaving the box of scientific texts and encyclopedias into his arms felt like trying to make Ed move. His arms struggled and strained at the hold, moving slowly gritting his teeth Edd headed for the house.
"Jeffery! NO!" As he had heard the panicked voice that he had felt his feet be forced to leave the ground as he not so gently landed on his drearier, his back and his head screaming with pain. Groaning from the weight of the books landing on his chest cavity and the weight on his air way, flinching as drool landed on his cheek causing chills to fall down his body as he realized he was face to face with a rather large dog, curiously sniffing. "Daddy! I'll get help! DADDDDDDY!" Edd tried to see the face of the child currently screaming but the dog had other plans as it attacked Edd with "nice to meet you, I am dog." licks. Edd's arms still folded under the box of books struggled to keep the tongue at bay by swaying his head away.
"Shit! Jeffery no bad dog. Back off!" At the command the dog pulled back running to its owner. "My bad man, he isn't mean just overly friendly." The owner began to lift the box up. "Seriously, sor-Double dweeb?" Edd opened his eyes seeing the owner for the first time. Red hair caught him first; short, like it had been shaved once ago and was starting to grow back but the bangs longer sticking up and out sunglasses holding them back from the others face. Then forest green eyes, full of confusion. "Kev-" Edd started as the box held idly over Edd soon gave way to the weight the books falling from the bottom landing painfully on Edd who yelped out of pain and covered his head.
"Son of a-" "DADDY YOU KILLED HIM!" "Shhhh baby I'll save him." Edd felt the books be removed from his small frame opening his eyes when he felt it safe to. "Uggghh..." Edd groaned sitting up and rubbing the sore spots on his body, they would definitely leave bruises. But he would be able to hide them, something else he had learned in college. Ignoring his own comment he checked for any real danger, glad to find none. A strong hand touched his shoulder as he forced himself not to jump away. "Hey are you alright?" Kevin asked calmly squatting down next to him. The high school baseball star had gotten bigger. Slightly bulging muscles laced his arms and more could be seen behind tight jeans, not the steroid type, but muscles from hard work and working out.
"Yes yes, I am in perfect health, though some skin blemishes will appear." Edd sighed rubbing his arm looking up at a frown. "Bruises Kevin bruises." Edd watched the frown disappear as a smirk slid in it's place. "Your definitely Double Dork." Flushing as Kevin patted his back all in good laughter. "I'm glad to bring you amusement from my demise." The hat wearing boy brushed off the others hand as he used a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his face from germs. "It seems your dog has salivated all over my face." Grumbled Edd as he scrubbed knowing the feeling would never leave before looking up as Kevin chuckled. "Yeah he seems to do that." And for once in all of Edd's life Kevin's hand was offered to him. His heart hammered in his chest, the hand that threatened his and his friends lives every day till graduation. Timidly taken, he was helped pulled to his feet. "Thank you." Edd asked scratching his palm as if it would get rid of the tingles.
"Daddy..." Edd's ocean blue eyes looked down at the voice from earlier. A small girl was tucked against Kevin's leg her other arm wrapped around the dog's neck, a very young dalmatian now that Edd could see it and not just it's tongue. Kevin turned to the girl and patted her head full of soft looking strawberry blonde hair though a rust red could be seen in the under belly of her hair. "It's okay baby, this is a friend I used to have when I was a kid, he's from the Cul-de-sac too."
The girl looked at Edd who was glancing at Kevin with wild eyes. "I don't believe friend is the correct word." The words were soft as Edd wringed his fingers. Green eyes found his as an eyebrow raised in a "seriously?" look. "Alright Edd was a kid I used to beat up." Kevin said smirking, eyes never moving, freezing Edd in place. "OW! Shi-sssssseehs." Keivn caught his language as he rubbed his thigh where the girl had hit him. "DADDY you shouldn't pick on people!" As Kevin nursed his wound the girl stuck her hand out to Edd, who took it and was surprised at the grip as it was shaken with far more force than necessary.
"I'm Kellie, I'm seven and three quarters." Blinking at the girl who smiled brightly at him, her hazel eyes bright with innocence and her face dusted with freckles. "Oh, I apologize, my name is Eddward, that's two D's mind you. I just turned twenty-five." He smiled softly at her as she giggled. "Ed-duh-ward*. Hehe nice to meet you! I'm sorry Daddy was a butthead when you were a kid." "Hey! I'm not a butthead!" Kellie pouted at her dad and stuck her tongue out giggling when he snatched her up holding her in the air and tickling her sides. Jeffery ran to circle them barking loudly also wanting to play with them. Placing the girl down he patted her back and pointed towards Kevin's house. "I'mma go play with Jeffery! Bye Ed-duh-ward!" Kevin just shooed her toward the house as he moved back to Edd's side. "Dont be a butthead daddy!" "What?!" He yelled watching her run away with the dog giggling.
It was silence between them after that. They stared and studied each other before Edd cleared his throat and began picking up his books. "I didn't realize you would have a kid so young." The genius mumbled watching from his peripheral as Kevin dropped down to help him. "Yeah she was a bit of a surprise for me too." Edd looked up through his lashes as Kevin smiled to his self. "Who is the mother?" As soon as the words left his mouth, Edd wanted to force them back through his gap and never say them again, because Kevin's glowing smile vanished. "Uh...a girl I dated senior year." "Ellen Jenniferson?" Kevin blinked looking up at the boy who flushed knowing he shouldn't remember that. "Uh...yeah." Kevin coughed clearing his throat loudly proving the conversation was making him uncomfortable. "So where do these go?" The red head asked smiling to hide his want to hide information, Edd stared for a moment before flushing hard. Kevin was so nice to him, and helping him move his things, was this a trick, any minute Kevin would "wail" on him. No no no they were adults now. Looking up Kevin was clearly smiling with a raise brow, seeming to be waiting for Edd to return to the world of the living. Clearing his throat, his face red from being caught in his thoughts. "Living room, please."
Thats the last chapter for now. Read and Review.
