Kevin's kiss caught Edd completely off guard. He wasn't expecting it. As soon as he felt Kevin's lips upon his, however he realized that he'd secretly been hoping for this just as much as Kevin had. Edd never wanted this moment to to end. It did, though, all too quickly. After what felt like an entirety, but was only a few seconds, Kevin broke away sharply and scooted back a few feet. He hastily said,
"I'm s-sorry Edd, I didn't mean to- I mean dammit!" He stood up to leave with as much dignity as possible, but as he turned to go he felt a tug on his wrist.
"You don't need to leave, it's ok, stay." Edd looked at him reassuringly. Kevin looked at Edd, opened his mouth to say something, anything, but didn't have the chance. Edd pulled him back down next to him. The dork had always been uncharacteristically strong.
Blushing, Edd said, "I like you too, Kevin. I just didn't know that that's what these feelings were. As kids you always picked on the other Eds and I. You got so mad at Eddy for all his scams, deservedly so, but still. I just never expected this. That's all." He finished sheepishly.
Kevin looked at the double dweeb with wide eyed amazement. The redhead couldn't believe his ears,
"You, you like me too?" Now it was Kevin's face that turned pink.
"Why, yes," Edd giggled, " I guess I do," giving Kevin peck on the cheek. Both boys blushes deepened. Suddenly there was a rustle in the bushes making Edd jump. Nazz poked her head through.
"There you two are! You're missing out-" she stopped taking notice of the close proximity of her ex and his crush. "On s'more's" she finished quietly. Nazz stood in front of Kevin and Edd.
"What's going on here?" She asked.
Both teens stood up quickly. Edd was the first to speak.
"Why nothing, Nazz. We were just talking. I saw Kevin leave earlier and I wanted to ensure he was ok."
"And I am now. Thanks to double dork over here."
"Huh?" Nazz asked, " what's that supposed to mean"
"Nothing, don't worry about it," Kevin replied, "let's get back to the party before Ed eats all the marshmallows."
"Yes let's." Edd said blushing again.
Nazz looked after the redhead and sockhead stupified. Are they, she wondered, no they can't be, could they? Nazz didn't know but she decided to leave it alone, for now, and followed them back to the remnants of her party.
Monday morning came and with it, came a new school year. Their junior year to be exact. The scrawny black haired teen seemed to be the only one excited about a new start. He woke up an hour earlier than his alarm. He hardly minded however, he was far too excited. He loved knowledge.
The redhaired jock noticed his neighbours light turn on, "dam" he thought, "doesn't the dork ever sleep?" He was one to talk though, Kevin hadn't slept since the bonfire. He and Edd had exchanged phone numbers, but neither had mustered up enough courage to do message the other yet. "It's ok," Kevin thought, "it's only been a day. They'd figure it out," he hoped.
Kevin decided he might as well get up and make some coffee. His dad already left for work and hour ago. He was all alone. As usual.
The teen with the black beanie hummed softly to himself as he put his bookbag in his familiar locker. As he closed the door and clicked the lock he saw a certain ball cap wearing football player walk in the front entrance. His head was down, hands balled in the pockets of his green jacket. The jacket was the same color as his eyes, Edd realized. He couldn't believe he'd never noticed them before. They were quite possibly the jocks best feature. Edd blushed and quickly hid his face in a book. He didn't want anyone to see.
The move was just in the nic of time too because it was then that Kevin decided to look up, staring right into the boys soul.
Kevin shot a small smile in the dorks direction. He wasn't sure if he'd seen it or not but he sure hoped so. "I've gotta do it today, I've gotta ask him on a proper date. I can't stand it anymore!" He murmured to himself. Kevin moved towards the sockheads lock to do just that when the other Eds swooped in and collided with the adorable nerd.
"Dammit," Kevin swore to himself, "I'm not going to ask him with those goons right there."
"Ask who what?" Nazz was suddenly next to him.
"Goddam woman, wear a bell or something!" Kevin glared at her.
Nazz laughed, "sorry man can't help it. Now tell me what you were planning on asking and who you were planning on asking, or I'll get have get it out of ya myself." She punched him in the arm playfully, but still quite hard.
Kevin looked over at the dweeb's locker again only to realize the Edds had left. He sighed and said,
"If you must know I was gonna ask Double D out properly today, ok?"
Nazz suppressed a schoolgirl giggle and said, " oh I see putting all your heart on the line huh?" She was teasing and he knew it so he laughed a little too.
"Aren't you afraid he'll blow you off or something?" Nazz asked prying. She was hoping Kevin would tell her what's happened Saturday night.
Kevin leaned against the lockers as he rubbed the back of his neck, "kinda but not really, I'm nervous sure, but the thing is he knows how I feel about him..." He trailed off.
"Yeah I figured as much, at the bonfire, but I didn't wanna make you uncomfortable or any." Nazz said quietly. She leaned against the locker next to him.
"So what happened?" The halls were almost empty, the warning bell had just rung signaling class started in 5 minutes.
"Well, I kinda, sorta-I kissed him Nazz. I don't know why but I did."
Nazz's jaw slacked but she quickly composed herself.
"I know why you did it you big buffoon." She was teasing him again, but Kevin knew, because a sly smile crept on his mouth.
"I know, I know." He said. Kevin decided not to tell Nazz the rest, at least not yet. He was feeling a little better, so he laughed and said,
"Come on, better get to class before it's too late."
Nazz scoffed and sarcastically said, "yeah don't want to be late on the first day."
They made it to class just as the bell went off.
