Based off the song The Wolf That Fell In Love With Little Red Riding Hood performed by Kagamine Rin and Len.
Edd adjusted the red hood that covered his head, looking around as he felt a pair of eyes following his every movement. He shivered and picked up his pace, hoping to lose whatever was tailing him. A few feet away a red-haired wolf peaked out from behind a tree, watching the red figure fleeing off into the distance. He stepped out from behind the tree and hurried after him, interested the smaller male. As the ravenette fled, an apple dropped out from the basket and roll across the ground to Kevin. The wolf picked it up and noticed Edd turn to him, he quickly ducked behind another tree and rolled the apple back to him.
Kevin admired the delicate boy before him before looking down at his dangerous claws, knowing this would only end badly for the two of them. Edd put the apple back in the basket and turned to continue on his route, wondering who it could be that's following him. Kevin made sure the other made it safely to his destination before turning back and heading home himself. It was getting late and he thought that he would be able to work up the courage to talk to the hooded boy tomorrow, knowing he would have to travel the same path to return home.
The next morning, Kevin went to the house and waited until Edd walked out, waving goodbye to whoever was inside before walking on his way. Kevin trailed behind him silently, watching over him to make sure he wasn't harmed on the journey home. Edd still couldn't shake the feeling that someone was following him. He chose to ignore it though and continued to walk home. Kevin left once again once the other had reached his house.
This kept up for a few days until one day when Edd left earlier than he usually did catching Kevin on the way to Edd's. Cyan blue met emerald green for a brief moment before the redhead darted off into the brush and Edd hurried after him.
"Hey! Wait!" The ravenette called as he rushed after him, crashing through the brush. He soon lost sight of the wolf, sighing before heading back to the path. Kevin panted as he rested against the tree, glancing back to make sure the ravenette hadn't followed him. That was a close one… He thought to himself, turning to go back to his place, figuring that he shouldn't see over the other today in case he saw him again. He stepped onto the path, getting tackled to the ground by a flash of red. He looked up to meet those same cyan eyes, the owner of which sitting on his stomach.
"Who are you and why do you follow me?" Edd demanded, giving him a serious look.
"My name is Kevin and I follow you to make sure you get where you're going safely." The wolf responded honestly, not shying away from his gaze. The ravenette hesitated for a moment before getting up and off of him. Kevin got to his feet. "Sorry if that's creepy."
"No… It's kinda sweet… Um…" He began to dig through his basket, pulling out an apple and offering it to him. "Here… To express my thanks… I know it's not much, but I hope you like it…"
Kevin gently took the apple, careful not to scratch the other with his claws. "Thank you…" He smiled at the other and held out his hand to him. "Here, I'll walk you the rest of the way." Edd smiled and carefully took his hand, nodding in agreement. They walked side by side, chatting happily with each other. The redhead felt himself falling for the other boy and the blue-eyed male began to feel the same.
Kevin stopped a few feet from the other's destination and smiled softly at him. "It's best that I stop here, I don't want to scare whoever lives there."
Edd nodded understandingly and hugged him. "I'll see you tomorrow then?"
"Of course." The wolf responded, hugging back. He reluctantly let go, watching the red-cloaked boy leave and go inside. The next morning Kevin was waiting in the path for him, offering out his hand with a smile. The duo walked down the path, unaware of the set of eyes watching them from a distance.
They enjoyed each other's company whenever Edd went on his travels for a while and Kevin's apprehension about their meeting faded away to nothing. One day, however, that fear returned and Kevin was tense as they walked through the forest. Edd noticed this and gave him a worried look.
"What is it?"
"Hm? Oh, nothing. Don't worry about it." Kevin smiled slightly at him and the ravenette hesitantly nodded, not believing him but he let it go. They walked in silence for a little while before the sound of rustling made Kevin's ear turn. The redhead stopped and looked around, seeing a hunter emerge from the brush. Edd gasps quietly and Kevin quickly pushes the shorter behind him.
The hunter, axe drawn, slowly moves closer to them. The wolf takes action first and runs at the hunter, tackling him to the ground and scratching and throwing punches the best he could. The hunter fought back, swinging his axe the best he could in the small area he had. Edd watched in horror as the two struggled, grabbing a hefty tree branch to hit the hunter with but he couldn't get a clear shot. The fight lasted for a few more minutes before Kevin let out a howl of pain, falling off to the side, his eyes closed.
Edd ran towards him, rolling him onto his stomach to see that the hunter had buried the axe deep in between the wolf's shoulder blades. The hunter smiled triumphantly as he looked at the corpse on the ground, removing the axe.
"You're welcome, I saved you from that horrible wolf. It was probably going to eat you." He smiled and hoisted his axe over his shoulder, leaving Edd to cry over Kevin's limp form.
Edd trudged through the forest path he and Kevin used to walk together, his vision blurry with tears as he stared at the ground. After he was completely sure the other was gone, he had given him a proper burial, it had only been three days ago. The ravenette had the feeling he was being watched but he ignored it. Meanwhile, behind a nearby tree, a certain red-haired wolf watched over him to make sure he made it to his destination safely.
