"FRED!"
Kevin chased after the zany boy, running through the Figglehorn residence. He was currently covered in a sticky substance, Fred's latest attempt at getting him back. Like he was going to get away with it.
He finally caught up to Fred, grabbing him by the shirt collar and pulling him back. Fred's shrill screams echoed throughout the house, but that didn't faze Kevin at all. He was used to them by now.
"You are so dead!"
Fred screamed again, fear in his eyes. "Knock it off, Kevin! I was only getting even!"
Kevin smirked. "There is no getting even with me, Figglehorn." He pushed him back. "I get to hurt you while you just stand there and take it like the wimp you are!"
Fred huffed and actually stood his ground for once. "No! I'm tired of you!"
Kevin raised his eyebrows, half surprised that the boy was standing up for himself. "Oh really? And what are you gonna do about it?"
He watched as Fred thought for a minute, then raised a fist and punched him in the shoulder. Very softly. Kevin laughed out loud. "That's what you call a punch?" He raised his own fist and collided it, hard, with Fred's chest, causing him to fall back. "That's a punch, Figglehorn!"
Fred had to catch his breath before he looked up at Kevin. "You are such a jerk!" He quickly stood up and brushed himself off. "Why do you always pick on me?"
"Uh, because it's fun." Kevin stated as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"Well I think you're just insecure!" Fred retaliated. That struck a chord with the bully as he took a step closer to him.
"What did you just say?"
Fred smirked, noticing his change of behavior. "Yeah! I think that you pick on me because it makes you feel better about yourself!"
"Shut up Figglehorn." Kevin commanded with forced calmness.
"You know that you're mean and a bully, so you put me down. It somehow makes things right in your screwed up head!"
"Shut up!"
"I also think that you're hiding something from the world!"
"No one cares what you think, Fred!" Kevin was shouting at the top of his lungs by this point.
But Fred continued. "What are you hiding, Kevin? What are you so scared of letting people know-"
His question was cut short by Kevin's lips on his own. It took him fully by surprise, as it would anyone else, as he was pushed back against the wall. The kiss was forced and desperate, almost like Kevin was pleading for Fred to shut up.
Which he did.
Kevin suddenly pulled away, his blue eyes meeting Fred's brown eyes. He looked shocked and terrified, realizing what he had just done. He then quickly ran out of there, leaving Fred to stand, still pressed against the wall, with nothing but confusion.
Did Kevin just kiss him?
