Edd woke up to his alarm screaming. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he got up and began to ready himself for school. He was still in shock over the previous night. He was happy though.

Stepping into the shower, Edd wondered how much further would he and Kevin have gone, had Nazz not texted? The boy didn't know. He smiled, and finished getting ready. The raventte locked the door behind him as he walked to his car.

Edd turned the ignition, but to no avail. The genius was perplexed. He kept his car in top shape, just like everything else. Double D got of his car and popped the hood.

Hazle eyes watched on

...

Kevin knew he'd get the third degree from Nazz but he didn't care. The redhead promised her to spill when they saw each other the next time. Now he had to get ready for school. Kevin got up, stretched, and reached for a clean shirt. He happened to glance out the window. Across the street his dork was staring under the hood of his car in confusion. wonder what's going on, he thought. better go find out. the jock pulled his shirt on and left the house.

Crossing the street, Kevin said, " good morning dork."

Edd's scowl was replaced briefly, "salutations, Kevin." The raventte's brow furrowed again.

"What's the matter with your car?"

"I honestly have no idea. I don't know much about automobiles, but I do know this one isn't working properly. Or at all." Edd sighed in frustration.

"That really sucks 'D. I'm sorry." Kevin felt bad for the boy. He couldn't fathom what he'd do if his motorcycle took a crap on him.

"It's not your fault, it's just I'm out a vehicle and school is a forty five minute walk, at the least!"

And idea popped into his head. " I can give you a lift".

"Thank you, but I think I'll decline. Motorcycles are extremely unsafe."

"Don't worry, dork, I won't let you fall off" Kevin smirked. Edd felt his stomach flutter at the redhead's tone, but didn't falter in saying,

"No, I am not getting on that deathtrap!."

"Ok, dork, I understand. But remember school starts in twenty minutes." Kevin's green eyes gleamed mischievously.

The smaller boy slammed his hood down, threw up his hands again and said, "fine! You can give me a ride. You win"

Kevin laughed. "dam right I do,".He told the frustrated boy, before kissing him.

Edd let his lips linger on Kevin's before pulling away, saying "but only for today. Got it?"

Kevin chucked, "sure thing dork."

Kevin went inside to gather helmets for the two. Then they headed off.

A few minutes later, a blue Chevy left the cul-de-sac.

...

As suspected Nazz cornered the Kevin in the parking lot. She was intent on getting every last juicy detail from her best friend. Ready to pounce, the blonde bombshell sauntered over to the Harley.

"there you are. I was waiting for you..." She trailed off when she finally noticed Kevin was not alone. " uh his double Dee, sorry I didn't see you there."

"Greetings, Nazz. Don't worry this is only for today. My car would not start this morning."

"Oh I see." The girl said.

The genius looked at his watch and gasped, "oh dear sorry to cut this short , but I should get going. Goodbye Nazz." Blue eyes met green with yearning. "Bye Kevin."

"I'll talked to you later dork." The redhead replied quietly.

After Edd left, it finally Nazz's turn, but instead of inquiries about the night before, she asked "what the hell was that about, Barr?"

"What are you talking about," Kevin said as he got off his bike.

"Why are you guys acting like nothing happened between you two. Like you didn't go on a date, and you haven't been crushing on him since, like forever. What's the deal, dude?" Kevin wished she would shut up.

"Look Nazz, were just seeing how things go right now. No need to make a big deal out of it, yet." Kevin put special emphasis on the last word. The jock had it bad and wanted to tell everyone about it. He'd be outing himself, sure, but he didn't care about that. Kevin knew he'd be able to handle whatever people decided to throw at him. As long is didn't affect his dork negatively. That's precisely why the two came up with the situation. Edd through so much, already. He didn't need more.

Nazz sighed, it was obvious she didn't but the story but let it drop, for now.

"Fine, let's get to class."

...

The day was uneventful. Edd noticed however, people whispering whenever he walked by, only to have them stop as he approached. how odd he thought. He paid it no mind though, Edd was just grateful not to be beaten for once.

Edd caught sight of auburn hair standing by the front doors. He was talking to someone, whose back was turned. probably a teammate, he thought. Edd felt a twinge in his chest. He longed to be next to his quarterback, but he wasn't quite ready to come out, so to speak. Thankfully, Kevin understood. They decided that right now they would try an alpha type test. The pale teen wished he had more confidence. Edd sighed as he started to leave.

As the raventte neared the exit, the redhead caught his eye and smiled. Edd wanted to melt into his arms right then and there. Unfortunately for him, the stranger, turned around.

Cold hazle met terrified blue

"Nikolas!"

"Hello, Eddward."

...

The ebony haired genius looked up from his computer. Someone was knocking on his dorm room door. It was just past two a.m. Who in a sane state of mind, would be out so late. Edd looked through the peephole. Sighing in relief, he unlocked the door.

Jasmine, a fellow Cal-tech summer programmer fell into his arms sobbing.

"Jazz, what's wrong, what happened?" Edd asked her gently.

"Nikolas, is missing." The poor girl's face was a mix of blood and tears as her mascara ran. A black eye was already forming.

...

"Oh come on, not even a hello?" The newcomer inquired, "didn't you miss me?"

"Like hell I missed you, asshole," Edd said as he swung.
