Tada new chapter. Posting kinda early because I got a job now.
Thank you everyone for reading, following, and taking time to review.
I'm very grateful.
The walk to the creek was a calm one, it felt good on Edd mind. Most relaxing indeed. He had changed from his sleeping clothes to a pair of grey fitted jeans and a large maroon sweater with a read knit hat that was big enough to cover his head and ears. The colors were changing for the coming autumn that would surround them oranges and reds, similar to the hair of the two he was accompanying. Kellie running ahead with Jeffery who would run and jump into the leaves and roll in them Kellie's laugh filling the air. Kevin kept the pace with Edd they didn't really speak just enjoined each others company. Edd's heart pulled at the comfort around them, the last time he had simply strolled seemed so long ago.
They were walking around the campus the moon high in the winter sky as cold, skin nipping air wheezed around them. "Thank you for the invitation to join you in movie going Dexter." Edd smiled but didn't look up at the dark haired male. Dexter draped his arm over the other like he had did at the movie theater, causing Edd to flushed darkly but welcomed the warmth. "It was a pleasure for I dearest Eddward." The psychology major whispered against his ear softly. Edd flushed deeper and only smiled wider. "This is my dorm." Edd whispered pulling from the other to point as his dorm. "Well thank you for accompanying me home..." The junior mumbled his voice coming out as smoke, "That's it?" Blinking up at the older boy. "After all I did you would think I would at least have gotten a hug!" Dexter sighed dramatically in mock hurt causing Edd to flush and giggle. "O-okay...close your eyes." Dexter frowned but did as he was told, on his tip toes Eddward leaned up and with all the courage he could call forth, lightly brused their lips together before running off, towards his dorm. The last word he heard before he got out hearing range were ones that brought hope to his young heart. "No fair! That was too cute!"
"Mister Edd!" Eddward blinked remember his surroundings and the small girl in his face with what she claimed were the biggest leaves out of the rest. "Actually that's not true there are many leaves bigger than a maple tree leaf." The frown on Kellie's face caused him to become frantic. "I-I- I mean they are rather large." Kellie looked at the leaves and tossed them a look of pure determination crossed her face. "Come on Jeffery were going to find the biggest maple leaves in the world!" Edd held back his instinct to comment that would clearly be impossible in such a small work field. Edd nibbled on his lip as Kevin's laugh caused him to flush. "Damn, You haven't changed have you? Still crushing childhood dreams." Edd felt his mouth drop and hang on his jaw.
"I-I-I didn't crush her dreams! d-did I?" Kevin laughed harder wiping fake tears from his eyes. "Hardly but you realize she has my stubbornness and now will stop at nothing to get what she wants? Even if it takes forever." Falling in a fit of giggles Edd squeezed his stomach in laughter. "Double Dee?" Kevin asked in concern as the boy laughed openly. "Dork?" Kevin was getting worried bad by the discoloration in the dork's face he had every right to be. Finally gaining his breath the genius snickered softly. "I apologize." The boy sniffled tears streaming from his eyes, warming his cheeks before he wiped him away. "A hilarious thought came over me." Kevin stared at him to continue. "Just you as an old man still helping her search." "That was funny?" Kevin asked unable to contain his own smile. "Well that could easily be a concision of to me laughing so hard." Edd snickered softly. "Dork" Kevin teased good heartedly.
"So why did you come back, not that I'm complaining or anything just curious." The red head asked kicking at the dirt around their shoes. Edd glanced down to fiddle with his fingers. "After college, I had a doctorate, in several medical and earth sciences, I could have been anything from surgeon to a botanist. I had plenty of job offers but one stuck to me." He glanced up at Kevin from his lashes blushing lightly, they had heard I took a few teaching courses from boredom. And Peach Creek High offered the job without a second though I signed the contract and took the job. My parents had given me the house because of its lack of use since that I was in college. So it was perfect for me to do so. "
"Yeah seems like it was perfect to me." Edd flushed looking at Kevin. When had they gotten this close?! Edd's ocean blue eyes met deep earthy green as they both seemed to freeze. Their eyes in a trance, though both were sure it was in their heads that they were moving closer. "Daddy!" They both blinked as they broke away quickly, like a child caught in the act. Edd took a calming breath as Kevin moved to his daughter, he stopped for a moment like he was going to say something, Edd breath caught. "Daddy!" Frowning Kevin ran to his daughter Edd following slowly behind. Taking calming breaths. No no no no no. This was all in your head not in a million years, being a dad has just made Kevin more friendly and understanding. That was all. Right?
Bam! They had a moment!
Kellie is seriously the best cockblock.
Thank you every one.
