'His so lucky.' Edd watches Kevin and his dad washing Kevin's dad's car through his window. A slight smile appears on his face as he continues to stare at Kevin. 'I wonder what's going to happen now. What's going to happen between us? Should anything happen?'
Kevin suddenly starts to take off his damp shirt seductively throwing it on the grass. Exposing his bare chest and well defined abs. He then continues to scrub the car with a smirk and then flips his hair and look at Edd. Edd's stomach drops, blood starts pumping and his face turn red. He wants to hide but those light green eyes have captured him.
While in trance with one other neither notice Kevin's dad turning the hose to full pressure and aiming it at Kevin's head. The water to the face surprises Kevin and snaps Edd out of the hypnotizing green eyes and burst into laughter. Kevin begins to get mad and is about to tell off his own dad but caught Edd's laughter from the corner of his eye and smiles. He jokes with his dad but when he turns back to the window Edd is gone and the curtains are drawn.
'What am I supposed to do about Edd? Wait, what about Eddy? Shit! I really don't know. I mean I know I didn't really apologize to Eddy but Edd seem happy with the whole public apology. Plus he was even staring at me this morning so Edd must of not notice the falseness of it all. Does that mean I should go for it? Should I leave things the way they are with Eddy?'
Kevin jumped when he hears his dad yell: "Stop pacing Kevin you're making your mother nervous."
"Sorry, I am going to step out for a little while but I'll be back for dinner. " Kevin says exiting out the front door.
Kevin shoves his hands in his pocket and looks at Edd's house. 'Should I? Should I not? Fuck it just do it!' Kevin looked around to make sure no one was around and crossed the street then rang the doorbell. He started to vigorously tap his foot out of nervousness. He heard a faint voice saying. "Be right there." The next moment the door opened.
"Hey." Kevin almost whispered.
"Salutations, Kevin. How can I assist you?" Greeted Edd nervously.
"Um…well …I… wanted to ask if you… weren't busy…or something…" Kevin struggled to say. But all this nervousness calmed Edd down and made him giggle lightly. This caused Kevin to smile and look directly in Edd's eye and then say sweetly. "I like it when you laugh and if you weren't busy tomorrow do you want to go out?"
Edd held his breath for a second and his cheeks started to turn pink. He wanted to look away so Kevin's couldn't see his colored cheeks but those darn eyes had taken hold of him again. After several moments Edd finally responded. " No."
At that moment Kevin face fell and his heart fell too. Once Edd saw the sadness fill Kevin's face Edd quickly added. "I promise Ed and Eddy that I would hangout with them but I'm free Friday night."
Kevin face did a 180 and now he bared a grin from ear to ear. "So this means, yes?" Shyly Edd nodded and smiled back. "Okay them…um movies and dinner?" Again Edd eagerly nodded in approval. If it was even possible Kevin's smile seem to widen. "Okay so I'll see you then. Bye."
"Farewell, Kevin." Edd said closing the door but then Kevin stopped the door from closing and shouted. "Wait."
This shocked Edd and he closed his eyes tightly out of fear. Using his inside voice Kevin calmed Edd and said. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." Edd open his eyes embarrassed and Kevin continued. " I just… we don't have each others numbers and…and you know it could come in handy for our date. Just in case or whatever."
"Oh, ok. Just wait a second my phone is in the kitchen." Edd said. A moment later Edd held his phone in his hand and Kevin took it handing his over without touching each others skin. "This way it's easier. Just put your number in." Kevin told Edd.
Both put their number in each others phone. Edd handed back Kevin's phone but Kevin took a bit longer deciding on whether or not to put something on Edd's phone. Finally Kevin gave Edd his phone but their finger's touch and for a moment they lingered. Both just smiled at each other and Kevin left.
Edd closed the door and quickly checked his phone to see the new contact it just said 'Kevin' in the name but he saw that it had a note it said ' I wasn't joking just now I really do like it when you laugh.' This caused Edd to giggle and think back at Kevin's pondering face. 'So that's why he looked like that?' Edd giggled and then he realized. 'Oh dear, I have a date with Kevin.'
Sunday came and thoughts of Eddy flooded his head. He didn't want to think of him but he couldn't help it. He just couldn't let what happen Friday go. It was going to keep bothering him until he saw Eddy, until he talked to Eddy.
'When we were younger the Eds and I could have gotten along but Eddy's scam always ended injuring me. So I always got him back and vice versa. But this doesn't mean I hate him nor am I gunning out for him. Damn it! Daniel was right on both accounts I didn't assume responsibility for what happen and I am an ass. Bet he would be glad to hear that. Fuck until I face this is not going to go away, is it?' Reluctantly Kevin stalked out Eddy's house waiting for Ed and Edd to leave so he could talk to Eddy.
Finally, they both left and after several minutes Kevin went up to Eddy's door and knocked. Eddy opened and asked. "What did you forget no-"Once he saw it was Kevin he slammed the door in his face or at least he would have if Kevin hadn't stuck his foot out to prevent Eddy from closing it. "Ow. Open the door dork." Kevin yelped.
"What do you want Shovel-Chin?"
"Just to talk. Open the door, DORK!"
Eddy finally opens the door and looked Kevin squarely in his eyes and exclaimed. "Talk!"
"I am here because we both weren't sincere I didn't apologize and you didn't really forgive me, not that I could blame you."
"So, you're here to apologize?"
"..yes."
"Okay, then get on with it, Big-Chin."
"I don't understand why you pulled such a terrible prank on me first I thought we were solid after…well you know. I got really mad and pranked you. All I wanted to do was humiliate you like you did me but Chet took it too far and it is entirely fault. If I hadn't said anything the other guys won't have known it was you who locked them up. If I had kept it cool instead of losing it I won't haven't done the prank in the first place. I'm sorry I didn't apologize to you in the first place and did such a lousy fake public apology. But more importantly I'm sorry for all the years I bullied you and your friends. If I hadn't been so busy being a jerk then maybe we could have been friends."
"Gosh, are you done?"
"Uh, yea."
"Okay then." Edd started to close the door when Kevin shouted. "Wait, is that it?"
"What more do you want? "
"Forgiveness."
"Well, just because you ask for it doesn't mean I have to give it." Just as Eddy said that a sinister grin crept on his face and he added. "But I will consider it if you get me a date with Nazz, a real date."
Shocked Kevin asked. "That's it?"
"That may be nothing to you but I have also been in love with Nazz since we were kids and you haven't dated her so you may have lost interest in her but I haven't." Then Eddy added but almost if to convince himself rather than Kevin. "And I ALWAYS will."
"Okay, consider it done."
"NO!" Yelled Nazz.
"Oh, come on." Repeated Kevin.
"No. Here I thought you had grown up. I am not letting you use me, again."
"I am not. It's just one date."
"No."
"You're not dating anyone. What's the big deal?"
"The big deal is that I don't know if I can trust you; that this is not another one of your lame set ups."
"It's not. I promise it a legit date with Eddy."
"Mmmhh. Why should I agree?"
"Uuuuuuum..because... I don't know. You don't have any reason not to and...And he is at least decent compare to the jerks you have dated."
"Wow I can't believe you called Eddy decent and that you haven't called him a dork this entire conversation. Okay, I agree but just one date and you owe me one."
"You're the best Nazz." Kevin smiled hugging Nazz tightly. Abruptly this thought escaped. "It doesn't feel the same."
Let go Nazz looked up at Kevin and asked. "What did you say?"
"Nothing. Just that you're the best Nazz."
'And that for once I am doing all the right things. Edd is not a mistake just a late beginning to something wonderful.'
