Chapter 7

Two of the three cronies followed D as he made a quick escape Ben keeping Ciel in tow as he followed after the person that he admired the most with a worried expression on his face. However the one that stayed looked to be more concerned than any of them, but had a determined look in his eye that said things were going to be done my way or you can say goodbye to your short life. Asher sized up Kevin with hard unforgiving eyes that if it were a lesser man he would be squirming and shrinking in on himself, but not Kevin, to be honest he looked too deep in thought to notice the burning look, wondering if the torch he had been holding for the past six years was never going to be realized, and if he should just give up.

"He is still in love with you," it was said in a calm calculating voice one completely devoid of emotion. Kevin looked at him a shred of hope starting to burn, this guy knows Double D better than anyone here if he thinks the Double D loves me i have a chance, however that hope turned into a burning anger really fast. "However, despite his feelings stay away from him you are not good enough for him," he raised his hands at the protest stuttering from Kevin's mouth and continued talking, "You will only end up hurting him, he barely survived everything that happened to him and he is a very weak person, he was only able to get physically stronger but every day every minute his psychological well being gets worse and worse, he will not survive heartbreak."

"Who the hell said I was gonna break his heart!"

"Can you stand there and promise me you wont?!"

"Can you stand there and tell me you will never hurt him?!"

"Can you stand there and tell me you will never make him cry?!"

"Can you stand there and tell me you will protect him?!"

"Can you stand there and promise me he wont get hurt again?!"

"I can't promise any of that," Kevin said deadly quiet, "However, I can tell you that I have loved him for the last SEVEN years and have never once thought of anyone the same way I did him, I take every little piece of information I can get about him greedily, and I have a pretty good idea of what he is like now and I love him even more, I want him to be mine and YOU are not going to get in my way!"

Everyone stared at Kevin with a straight face none shocked, except Asher he had a look of complete and total anger, "You don't deserve him." he said his voice dripping with venom.

"It is Eddward Vincient we are talking about here, he is a fucking genius, he can make amazing things out of trash! he has won every spelling b, quiz bowl, math, essay, and swimming competition he has ever been in on regional, state and national levels, he has been through hell and back and has only come out stronger. he was able to become the person he was today despite being neglected, bullied, and isolated most of his life; there is nothing he CAN'T do, no body in this world is good enough for someone like that, but I do not care because I love him and no one could possibly love him more than me." throughout the course of this Asher just stared at him with cold analytic eyes going back to four years ago.

Flashback

"Asher I had so much fun seeing my friends I missed them so very much next time you should come with me and meet them." Double D giggled bringing his hands up to cover that gap between his front teeth Asher smiled at his best friend rather indulgently, not knowing that both their lives were to soon change,

"Sure Double D I would love to maybe you can even introduce me to that Kevin fellow that you have a deep affection for." Double D blushed but didn't look away he was still so surprised about what Ed and Eddy had told him about Kevin's feeling regarding him. They both broke out into a fit of giggles Asher couldn't have possibly known that this would be the last time he would ever see Double D truly smile. His last real simile brought on by the thought of Kevin liking him in the same way as Double D felt; he liked Kevin.

End Flashback

That time flashed through his head and he started thinking about how nice it would be if he could see his best friend and savior smile, really honestly smile, for the first time in three years, and so the wheels in his head started to turn fast and efficient, He might be a mindless neanderthal but at the same time I have seen D show more emotion in the hour this Kevin fellow was around since the incident that changed him, maybe this meat head could actually make Double D happy, Asher slowly came to the same conclusion that Ben had reached about this red headed football player and despite the fact that he hated what he was about to do he was going to do it for D.

While all these thought's were going on he didn't notice that Kevin had gone on rambling about him getting D and how they belong together and blah blah blah

"Okay meat head shut the hell up you are starting to get on my nerves and change my mind about helping you win over D." Kevin just stood there stunned not completely comprehending what the blond boy had said, when out of no where someone tackled him to the floor

"OMG! this kid is just too damn cute I just want to eat him up," Nat had tackled the boy and was now pinning him to the floor rubbing their cheeks together and mumbling cute...So cute... over and over again everyone started to laugh but not Asher or Kevin he was too busy planning on winning Double D over, he had two of Double D's three cronies backing him up and he was going to use them to his advantage….He was going to make Double D his
