This was seriously so far my favorite chapter to write.
Its cute and fluffy. Gah!
"Bad Jeffery!" Kellie shouted at the dog that seemed oblivious to the bad remark as he struggled to get out of his masters hold and the cold spray of water. "Dumb dog, out of the entire area you find the biggest mud hole?!" Kevin hissed using one hand to hold the dog's collar while the other tried to clean him up. Edd stood near by watching as the red heads struggled to clean the dog that fought to be released. "You really can't blame the dog Kevin, mud has oils in it that are healthy for dog fur." Kevin growled as he tried to wash the muddy coat down. "Yeah, yeah Dork I know-Shit!" Cursed the man as Jeffery slipped from his hand and ran for the the muddy ground made from the water hose in Kevin's back yard. Kellie ran after him, yelling about how much of a bad dog he was.
Edd laughed at the others misfortune. Causing the red head to look up with a raised brow. "You think this is funny? We seriously need to talk about your since of humor." Kevin chuckled shaking his head and sighed at his muddy jeans. "My humor is perfectly in place, you just don't seem to realize the humor in these situations." Kevin looked at him with a bored look. "Hey..." Edd looked up at him in question before a spray of cold water caught in in the face. "Shut up." Kevin laughed as the boy spluttered water and looked plain a simply horrified. "Oh My G-" Another spray hit him in the face soaking him more. "Watch your mouth." Kevin spoke bluntly smirking as Edd was still in shock, frowning he turned away. If he wants war that's what he will get!
Grabbing the bucket full of murky soap water used to clean Jeffrey, Edd grabbed the handle before he flung around holding it tightly forcing the dark water to hit the once jock in the face. Edd laughed as Kevin's shirt became more stained as it water soaked it through. The lanky male covered his his laughter with his hand as Kevin glared at him. "You think this is funny?" Edd could only laugh nodding his head to answer trying to hide behind the bucket. "You know your dead right?" Edd only nodded again squealing as he was suddenly picked up in a fire man hold, he fought and struggled as Kevin's shoulder dug into his stoamch, soon dropping the bucket to hit Kevin's shoulder, who was unfazed as the neared the pool.
Eddwards bright eyes looked at Kevin. "You wouldn't dare." Edd hissed a raised brow as his only answer before he was flung towards the pool, but his grip on Kevin didn't release forcing the red head in with him. The splash soaked the the entire patio. They froze underwater both looking at each other as the water drowned out the noise. Kicking off of the bottom Edd broke the surface of the water first, hands clutched against his hat just as Kevin appeared. "Son of a - the water is cold!" Edd only laughed and screamed as the body of a large dog landed next to him almost pulling him under. Jeffrey had joined them, his muddy fur washed away by the once clean, yet still freezing pool water.
"Yahooo!" Screamed Kellie as she jumped towards the water only for Kevin to catch her mid flight. "Oh hell no th-this water is too c-cold you'll ge-get sick." Kevin shivered placing her back in the sidewalk pulling himself out as well, he shook his hair before holding out his hand to Edd who slowly took it with a smile and allowed the other to pull him out of the in-ground pool. "No fair! You guys had all the fun!" Edd shivered as the open air hit his wet skin through the soaked clothes. "Trust me that was too cold to be fun sweet heart." Kevin shuttered then pulled her face close and kissed her cheek, "Think you can get us towels baby?" Pouting heavily she ran inside being the only one dry. "I can not believe you tossed me into your pool at the beginning of autumn. If I get sick I will sue you." Edd teased squeezing his shirt out around his waist, when a finger caused him to jump.
"Since when did this happen?" Edd's heart raced, a scar! How stupid could he be, he had forgotten it, a moment of loss guards. Yanking his shirt down over it Edd smiled sweetly." I fell off my mo-ped." Lies. "Its okay I got it checked out and fixed up after it happened." Not exactly a lie. Kevin looked skeptical. "That's a pretty clean cut Double dee." But Edd plastered a smile on his face. "Nah it didn't even hurt." Really big lie. It was the most painful one yet, the cut had started at his belly button and ended at his hip bone, the cut was clean like one would use to dissects a dead animal. Edd shivered ignoring Kevin's worried looks as Kellie appeared from the house carrying the towels bringing one to each.
"Daddy can Mister Edd-" "Please Kellie call me Edd or Double Dee, I wont be a "Mister" till school starts Monday." Edd sighed shaking his nerves away. "Double Dee...but Daddy calls you that." Kellie looked confused. "It's what my friends call me, and you are very much my friend." Beaming brightly the little girl seemed to radiate with joy.
"You were saying Kel?" Kellie jumped looking back at her dad. "Oh, can Mis-I mean Double Dee stay over for hot chocolate? I'll be good! Promise!" Kevin pretended to think it over; Edd, thinking of his own empty house he almost hoped the other would say yes. "Well alright." Kellie's cheers were loud as Jeffery crawled out and shook himself dry next to them soaking them once again.
The night went smoothly thanks to Kellie who pampered Double dee like he was her favorite doll, Kevin laughed at the actions and Edd just nervously smiled. But when the clock stuck eight Kel had settled down leaning back against her dad's chest. "Looks like it's time for bed, you have school tomorrow kiddo." Kevin lifted the girl cradling her in his arms. "I'm not..sleeeepy." Kel whined weakly but waved to Double Dee as they dissappered into the dark hallway leaving the Ed not sure what to do with himself, should he stay or let himself out? Sighing softly through his gap Edd looked at the pictures scattered in the living room.
Almost all of them involved Kellie at various ages with or with out Kevin. Then on the mantle were of Kevin's dad, and Kevin's graduation picture, prom and...Edd stood checking the hallway before he lifted the picture. It was the entire Cul-de-sac, the kids all pressed together for a picture before the senior's headed to graduation. Edd was separating the Ed's from the others his body pressed against Kevin whose arm had wrapped around his shoulders to keep him close enough so every one could fit.
"That was a good picture of everyone right?" Edd nearly dropped the frame as his mind short circuited. "I -oh- I didn't mean to- Sorry." Kevin chuckled, taking the frame and held it out to look at, "Nah don't be it's my favorite picture of everyone, plus you looked overly joyed as well." Edd flushed if Kevin only knew why. Placing the picture back on the mantle, he smiled at the flustered Edd. "Come on I'll walk you out."
At the door Edd looked across the street at his empty house before turning back to Kevin. "Thank you for today." The smaller one spoke softly as he rang his fingers together not caring his clothes had become stiff. "No problem Dork. Plus I think my daughter has a crush on you." Kevin chuckled at Edd scared expression. "Calm down, she's not the only one." Edd froze at the words looking up at Kevin, mouth opening at questions. "You better head home Edd work tomorrow right? Night Dweeb." Edd stared at the door blankly as a blush nearly drowned him he quickly walked to his house hoping to hide away. Thankfully his new job started tomorrow.
