Hey there! So this update holds the beginning of Kevin and Edd. I figured I'd delay as much as possible to kind of build a friendship and just decided hell with it! I didn't think I'd be able to handle all the characters having something to say, so if it is a mess then I'm very sorry. There are a few songs I suggest you listen to while/before/after reading this; You And I by Ingrid Michaelson and Sweet Life by Frank Ocean. This is a slightly longer update because I wanted to focus on everyone and there's a lot to go on, but so much more on the way in the next update, so sorry it took so long! Here is it:


Giselle opened her eyes to a blanket covering her fair. She had a third leg and arm pulling her into a warm body and she groaned internally, praying she didn't get too drunk and had sex with this person last night. She snaked a small hand up and pulled the blanket from her face to find a sleeping Plank next to her, his chin lightly sitting on her shoulder. He looked absolutely peaceful, and if she hadn't seen him before she would have thought he was a god.

He has the body for it, you can see that right now. She thought and pulled the blanket back over her face as she blushed. She thought about last night and looked at their intertwined bodies. Plank had his right leg over her left and their right ankles touched. He had his right arm over her ribs which tightened in his sleep every once in a while. She snuggled into his embrace and pulled the blanket down again as she watched him sleep. His eyes opened slowly and she caught her breath. They made eye contact and she pulled the blanket over her face again, blushing, as he chuckled.

"Good morning, Giselle."

She practically purred at how perfect his voice was. But the intimate moment was ruined by Nat. He pulled their blanket off, praying that they had clothes on.

"Good morning my little love birds!" He cheered. Giselle felt angry but Plank just had a blank look on his face, so Giselle snuggled even closer to him and got the reaction she wanted. They were still wrapped up in each other, just more so now than seconds before, and he squeezed her.

"We're going out! Do you want to ride bikes or go on the boat?" Nat somehow found a way to separate them and plop down in between them. Giselle sat up.

"Uhm, I really need to get home..." She trailed off thinking of her empty house.

"No worries! Plank can join you." Nat offered and then bit his lip. "You should hang out with us today. Everyone thinking you're pretty cool, plus it'd be nice to have someone familiar with the island with us. Also, Jonny is sick, so Plank needs the company!" Plank's head snapped at the mention of his cousin.

Not worrying about Giselle or Nat, Plank left the room to find Jonny on the couch with a million blankets and May doting on him.

"What happened?" He deadpanned, not wanting the worry to get out of control.

"Drank too much, so hungover. Should feel better tomorrow." Jonny grimaced. May had left and returned with washcloths and a glass of juice.

"No need to worry, Plank. I've got him under control." Jonny and May returned grins and Plank thought he was going to be sick now.

Back in Plank's bedroom, Nat had gotten Giselle to agree to go out with them on the boat. Giselle walked out, after putting her jeans that she wore last night back on, and right into Plank.

"Oh, shit." She said. "I'm sorry. I'm too hungover for my own damn good."

But Plank just looked amused. He moved around Giselle to get dressed and she walked into the kitchen. Kevin stood, shirtless, placing food on a tray.

"Is Edd not coming down?" Nazz asked, looking at Kevin questioning.

"He's not feeling too good. Had too much fun drinking last night." Kevin lied, but Giselle knew better. Nat told her that Anthony attacked him last night, he was the only sober one, and that Anthony was so drunk her confused Edd for Plank.

"Hey, uh, Kevin? Can I talk to you real quick?" He nodded, weary, and they stepped out onto the porch besides the pool. "Nat told me about what happened and I am so fucking sorry. If I wasn't hungover and so confused I'm sure I'd be crying."

Kevin just shrugged. "It's not really your fault, Rave said you had broken up with the guy. But I would like to see him again to make sure he gets it ten times worse."

"My ex-boyfriend attacked your boyfriend, wow." She mumbled to herself. Kevin understood how she could think they were boyfriends, they were spending a bit more time together than usual. But he did little to correct her, in fact he almost agreed with her on the term. Almost, just wishful thinking taking over his mind and heart.

"Yeah, well, I have to get back to him." Kevin turned but Giselle caught his wrist.

"Are you sure you want to fight him?"

"Come upstairs and see Edd then you can answer your own damn question." She stepped back at the venom in his voice and nodded.

Giselle followed Kevin upstairs, saying hello and good morning to Eddy and Rave who were leaving Kevin and Edd's room looking sad. Edd was standing in their private bathroom looking at himself. He wore only a pair of black boxers and Giselle felt faint. Edd winced as he turned, bruises covering him from the crown of his head to his knee caps. If it wouldn't have hurt him she would have hugged him.

"Oh my fucking god, I am so sorry." Edd just blushed and tried to cover himself up with his arms, wishing he was wearing clothes.

"Now do you understand?" Kevin hissed.

Giselle nodded and Edd's eyes snapped up to Kevin's.

"Where's the food?" He said, voice super intense.

Kevin just laughed and pointed behind him at the tray sitting on the dresser. Giselle and Kevin stepped outside the room to talk, Giselle keeping her voice low.

"So, tomorrow, I can have Anthony "meet me" somewhere and then you can be the one he arrives to. I know nothing, no one else knows anything, it is only you and Anthony. Sound good?"

"Kevin nodded. "Sounds great."

Giselle walked downstairs and retrieved her bag from Plank's room and sat with Nazz in the living room.

"Leaving so soon?" Nazz pouted.

"I'm coming back. Plank is supposedly leaving with me and then we'll be right back."

Nazz winked at Giselle. "You know, Marie and I used to make excuses all the time to leave and be alone together."

"Oh my god, Nazz. I need clothes and my tooth brush. Holy shit, I'm not fucking the dude." Giselle turned bright pink as Nazz said hello to Plank, who had walked up. "Oh my fucking god, let's leave." Trying to hide her blush more she stormed off to her car, Plank just followed her with a small, smug grin.

Giselle said nothing to him in the car. In fact she didn't say anything to him until they got to her front door.

"Fuck, I forgot my house key." She groaned, ringing the door bell.

A few rings later a maid, wearing only black clothing, opened the door.

"Miss Giselle! I am so glad you are safe! I always worry for you when you leave for parties, even on the island. Ah! You brought company home! And its a nice young man!"

"Nan, this is Plank. I went to his party last night. I'm actually just here to grab a few things, Plank and his friends invited me out today."

"Sounds wonderful! Before I forget, Anthony came over early this morning. I did not let him inside, but he told me he had some choice words for you and he mentioned Plank here as well."

Giselle stared down at Nan's features as she stopped halfway up the stairs of her large Marco Island home. Nan was old, old enough for her children to retire. Yet Nan never once thought of leaving Giselle to retirement, she even had Giselle become friends with her children so that she would take care of them together. Although Giselle was eighteen, Nan was the only adult figure around for her. Hired by her aunt so her aunt didn't have to stay with her or bring her into her home, Giselle's mother died after child birth. Her father was a very social man, with very much money, owning several homes that house his several other families. Once Giselle was old enough, at the age of sixteen, he bought her this home, paid for her education and regularly spent fortunes of money on her to make up the fact that he would never spend time with her, his only daughter, over his sons.

She didn't mind. A Xanax here, a Valium there, everything was peachy. She only needed drugs or alcohol the nights that not even Nan could cheer her up with horror movie marathons and chocolate covered somethings. There were never many of those nights because Nan spent the time learning how her mind works and accepting the fact that sometimes she needed those painful nights to over come the guilt she thought she had to carry. Nan had fought breast cancer, scared the shit out of the cancer by how tough of a woman she is, just to be there for Giselle.

Nan was Giselle's parent, even though she talked to her formally around guests, the two were on mother/daughter terms alone.

"What did you tell Anthony?"

"That I didn't know when you'd be home and not to come back until he spoke to you personally."

"Perfect." She smiled. "We'll be down in a little bit." She pulled Plank upstairs, down the hall, to the left and into the giant purple and blue striped door.

Giselle's bedroom was as big as four bedrooms combined with her own large private bathroom and large walk in closet. Plank envied this kind of wealth but played it off coolly. He enjoyed her room, she had a large bed with orange and blue and brown and teal sheets and a matching faded comforter. On top of the bed was two black sleeping kittens. She had wall covered in vinyls of music that Plank liked.

"Ramones, Smiths, Elvis? How long have you been collecting vinyl?" He was pleasantly surprised.

"Twelve years now?" She said off hand, picking through dark clothing scattered on the floor.

Plank didn't mind the mess, he felt it described her more, like how all the hipsters describe their lives in shitty real life metaphors. She had an easel set up in the corner with paints and paintings cluttered around it. He admired how her rooms gave him more information on her than she thought it would.

"This is Gomez." She picked up on black kitten who had what looked like a white mustache. "And this is Morticia." She up the all black kitten. "I found them a few weeks ago during my Addam's Family week and felt it necessary to name them as such." She smiled fondly at the cats.

"It's cute and quite fitting." Plank agreed, craving for her to look at him that fondly.

Giselle smiled as she put the purring babies back down.

"So, is Nan your mom?" Plank asked, trying to make it seem like it wasn't a big deal.

"Ah, no. She's basically my nanny, no pun intended between her name and the title. She's been around long enough to be the motherly back board I need though."

Plank nodded, understanding that much. "If you don't mind me prying, what happened to your parents?"

Giselle looked a little uneasy but she answered. "My dad has other families and my mother died giving birth. She had a heart defect and her heart gave out due to the forced stress upon her body." Giselle wouldn't look him in the eyes and he asked a lighter question.

"So, living on an island and all, do you go to the beach often?"

She laughed. "Every-fucking-day. Normally I go after school with my friends."

"Sometimes if it isn't too cold out and the rain stops it would a nice enough beach day." Plank thought about home and sighed.

"Where are you from?" She was back to looking through clothes from the floor.

"Peach Creek, Washington."

"Washington state? Holy shit, you're far from home." She gasped and he chuckled.

"That's not even where I was born." Giselle raised her eyebrows in question. "Denmark."

"Holy shit! So you're Scandinavian? How lovely! What made you come to the states?"

Plank grinned at her enthusiasm. "My mother was on an American visa for college. She married my father and they divorced when I was four. He gave up rights to me and we came to live with my aunt."

"So you grew up with your cousin? That's really rad, actually. Like you go into school with a best friend already. All my cousins are money hungry pricks. I've got seven cousins, all on my mom's side because I don't know anyone on my dad's side. They are legit the biggest assholes I've ever met. I didn't even meet them until two years ago because my aunt doesn't like me." She laughed harshly.

The talked and laughed together for a while, getting to know each other. Giselle had a bag of clothes among other things she needed. Putting her bag down by the front door, she and plank trailed intot he kitchen laughing about a dumb joke Plank tried to sell as his own.

"No way, dude, I use Tumblr. I've seen that joke before!" She giggled.

"Alright, you caught me." He just grinned at her, enjoying her laugh.

"Oh how I love to hear my kitchen full of lovely laughter." Nan smiled at thet wo teenagers and they smiled back. "Giselle stop at the gas station and fill your tank up, okay? Just in case, can't be too safe."

The two bid Nan goodbye and drove to the Marathon station next to her house.

"How old are you Plank?"

"Nineteen."

"And you're still in high school?"

"Yeah, I didn't start school until Jonny did."

"Oh, I see."

"How old are you?" He turns to give her a questioning glance.

"18."

"And you're still in high school?"

"I am. I failed a coloring test in pre-school. They decided I wasn't good enough to color in the lines to pass onto the next grade." She snorted. "No, my birthday didn't fit in the cut off and I had to wait." She walked inside, paid for gas and cigarettes.

"You smoke?" Plank's blank face had her nervous.

"I know, I know. It's very unattractive for women to smoke, but, I love smoking. Yet it'll kill me, so be it."

Plank just grinned. "I smoke."

"No shit?" Giselle smiled, feeling better. "Nan gets onto me so I've gotten used to the judgment part."

Just then a man approached and Plank moved close to Giselle, standing as tall as her could.

"Just givin' ya' a flyer for the fourth annual board walk fair!" The guy cheered, giving Giselle the fluorescent paper. "Starts tonight at six! See ya' there!"

"I hope not." Plank muttered but Giselle's face lit up.

"We have to go! Do you think Nat will want to?!"


Kevin walked into the bedroom, half expecting Edd to still be in his bed, feeling kind of disappointed when he saw the dork moved back over to the other bed. Kevin was getting ahead of himself. Just this morning he let someone else say that Edd was his boyfriend. Yeah, sure, Kevin thought about his crush on the dweeb. Edd was kind, patient, intelligent, and even though he came off innocent he had this passion that could blow anyone's mind away. His passions never came out like how other people's passions did- you could see how Edd was passionate about something in the way his eyes would shine, the way his voice would get really high over the things he loves the most and lower to almost a whisper of things he detests. Edd was passionate about giving Kevin space, he seemed to shrink whenever Kevin breathed, sometimes it bothered him but he smiled because he knew that he made Edd nervous.

He stepped over to Edd and nudged him awake again, after eating and filling his appetite, he was ready to catch up on the sleep he missed during the night. Kevin felt bad waking Edd up, but he also loved it at the same time. Edd's face held back no emotion as it was still processing the situation. At first he was confused, once his eyes and mind registered Kevin he smiled lazily. Kevin's breath caught. He was for sure he was feeling much more than a fucking crush for this boy but all he could think of was the reason why people called this a crush- the feels literally fucking crush you.

"Sorry to wake you again." He whispered but Edd shook his head.

"No, its okay. Is everything alright?" Edd rubbed his eyes and stretched.

"Nat has made plans for everyone to go out on the boat and I just wanted to see if you were up to it. I already talked to the other two dorks and they're going, but they said they were hanging out with Lee Kanker and fishing the entire time, so I figured you could come with me and we could swim or do whatever." The way Kevin said Lee's name sent a shiver down Edd's spine and he smiled up at Kevin.

"Going out on the boat sounds delightful, actually." Edd tried to get up but hissed in pain.

"Whoa, lay back down. You're not going anywhere if you can't even sit up." Kevin didn't push him to lay down like he wanted to, he knew that even touching his shoulders or his arms would cause more pain than relieve it so he used a stern voice.

Edd just laughed and moved to sit up more. Kevin watched the way Edd's face twisted and turned with feeling, wishing he could feel everything he was feeling. Kevin had to hold himself back a couple times, watching Edd soon became too much for his heart and he decided to look out the window and watch Nat struggle with the boat.

"I'm going to go help Nat, but you get ready okay?" Kevin said, giving a warm smile to Edd as Edd nodded from his place on the bed.

Kevin went down to the dock and told Nat to get the fuck off the boat that he didn't even know how to prepare much less help prepare.


Nat sat on the bed he shared with Rave, listening to him sing in the shower. He remembered waking up before Rave did and finding Rave cuddled into his side, on Nat's side of the bed. As much as Nat wanted to enjoy the moment he knew Rave would definitely not enjoy waking up to find himself being the one that scooted over to Nat, especially taking in how big the bed was.

Rave came out of the bathroom in black jeans, using the towel to dry his shoulder. Nat felt something in him twist and Rave gave him a glare as he quickly put a shirt on.

"Stop staring at me." Rave demanded but Nat shook his head no.

"Come here." Nat's voice was low and silky, Rave was shocked that his body moved before he could make his mind say no.

Nat sat still, pulling Rave to him once he was within reach. Nat wrapped his arms around Rave's hips, putting his face into his ribs and breathing him in. Rave was shocked at the sudden intimacy and didn't know what to do but he decided he didn't want to pull away.

"Sorry if this is uncomfortable to you. You're just so perfect." Nat spoke into Rave's shirt, tightening his grip slightly.

Before Rave could reply there was a knock on the door and Nat's muffled "What?" invited the person in. Kevin took in his best friend hugging Rave and Rave's blushing face.

"Boats' ready. Plank and Giselle are back, she actually wants to talk to you."

Nat pulled away from Rave and stood causing Rave to take a step back to make room.

"We'll be down in just a minute." Kevin nodded, grinned and then closed the door.

After the soft thud, Rave pulled Nat to him and crushed their lips together. A few heated seconds later, mostly after Nat reacted to the kiss, Rave pushed him onto the bed.

"You're a piece of shit, you know that?" But Rave couldn't help but smile down at Nat.

"God, you're fucking sexy." Nat purred but shortly after laughed. After smiling at each other for a while longer, Nat stood and put his deck shoes on,

"You're wearing jeans? On a boat? To go into the ocean? In the Florida heat?" Nat shook his head. "I'll see if Edd can loan you some shorts."

Turns out, Edd could. Rave walked down the stairs talking to Edd about how neither of them wanted to go onto the boat when Nat yelled.

"YES! YES! PERFECT! AWESOME!"

They looked up to see Nat hugging Giselle, scaring both Giselle and Plank. He clutched the flyer of the fair in his hands and laughed.

Soon, they all got on the boat and it took an hour to get where Nat wanted, he looked on a map and guided the boat in the choppy water. Finally they anchored in a small bay, a shore that was barely visible was dotted with colorful umbrellas and floats in the water. There were a few other boats in the small bay area but over all no problems, which made Nat happy. He suddenly got an idea.

He pulled out a ukulele and sat by Rave and started playing a song. Giselle recognized the song, counting in her head, she started singing.

"Don't you worry there my honey,

we might not have any money,

but we've got our love to pay the bills.

Maybe I think you're cute and funny,

maybe I wanna do what bunnies do with you

if you know what I mean.

Oh, lets get rich and buy our parents

homes in the south of France.

Lets get rich and give everybody nice

sweaters and teach them how to dance.

Lets get rich and build a house on a mountain

making everybody look like ants,

from way up there.

You and I.

You and I."

She shared a giant smile with Nat as he started singing the next part of the song.

"Well you might be a bit confused." He sang to her.

"And you might be a little bit bruised." She sang back.

"But how we spoon

like no one else.

So I will help you read those books

if you will soothe my worried looks.

And we will put the lonesome

on the shelf."

He grinned at her and she laughed before they continued together.

"Oh lets get rich and buy our parents

home in the south of France.

Lets get rich and give everybody nice

sweaters and teach them how to dance.

Lets get rich and build a house on a mountain

making everybody look like ants,

from way up there.

You and I.

You and I."

They sang together, ending the song in a harmony. They smiled to each other and high fived. Kevin broke the amazed silence by clapping.

"That was beautiful! If you guys ever make a CD, I'd fucking buy it!"

Nazz nodded in agreement. "Totally awesome!"

Eddy mumbled that Giselle was literally the perfect girl and Plank mentally agree.

"Giselle was fantastic, but you fucking sucked." Rave frowned from behind his sunglasses.

Giselle didn't know how to react, watching Nat laugh.

"I thought we were fucking perfect together. She's my musical soul mate." Nat laughed again and they started bickering. But this time no one paid any attention, realizing this was their relationship.

Marie stripped down to her bathing suit and dove off the boat, Nazz and Rolf shortly following. Eddy, Lee and Ed got their fishing poles ready on the other side of the boat. Sarah and Jimmy took the lounge floats and jumped into the water and then sprawled out on top of them. The only people left on the boat were Edd, Kevin, Rave, Nat, Giselle and Plank.

"You have a beautiful voice." Plank smiled as she blushed slightly.

Giselle stripped to her bathing suit and put on sun block, handing it over to Edd.

"I knew that make up would cover up the major bruises well." She said.

"Yeah, thank God." Kevin said with a roll of his eyes. "We didn't sleep last night due to the fact that every time he moved he started crying."

"I've never been so badly hurt before, Kevin!" Edd sassed back making Kevin grin. "But thank you for taking care of me." He blushed.

Giselle was about to comment on how cute they were being but Kevin scooped Edd up and jumped into the water with him.

"KEVIN. I HAD NOT FINISHED APPLYING SUN BLOCK PROPERLY." Edd yelled as they broke the surface of the water only a few feet apart.

"Chill out, dork. You'll be okay." Kevin tugged on the dork's soaked hat, which Edd promptly took off and tossed it up to Giselle.

"Kevin, have you ever worn sun block?"

"Not since I was a kid and I'm fine, so you'll be fine too. Relax." They started swimming and talking about facts of the sun together.

Nat fiddled with his phone, taking music suggestions from Rave, when a single lyric from Frank Ocean came across the speakers that caught Giselle's attention.

"So why see the world when you've got the beach?"

Giselle thought about this, and decided that she agreed. No matter where you go, to the top of the highest mountain, up into space, it didn't matter. The beach was always the place that caught her heart.

She looked around and saw Plank smoking by himself at the edge of the boat. She took in his shirtless backside and pictured herself holding onto to those shoulder blades for dear life as he... "omg you need to stop..."

Shaking the thought she stepped up to him. "How beautiful is this?" She smiled at the view of the small bad and all of Plank's friends having fun.

He looked down to her and nodded. "Yeah, its alright."

"Alright?" She looked up at him like he had two heads.

"Plank, I need your help!" Nat called. "Kevin's out with Edd and I can't lift this up by myself."

Giselle smiled and jumped into the water as Plank grumbled under his breath.

"You kind of look like a mermaid." Jimmy said, lifting his sunglasses to peer down at her.

"Oh, ah, thank you!" Giselle laughed and Jimmy seemed satisfied with her answer before Sarah pulled his attention back to herself.

Rave and Nat were still on the boat, Rave telling Nat to put his shirt back on because

"Not a single person wants to see your body, Goldberg. Put that shit away."

"I know for a fact that I have a nice body because I put the time and hard work into my body to make it look this good and plus football conditioning along with baseball conditioning is a fucking bitch when you're not in shape.

Rave had to mentally admit that Nat looked fucking amazing but he needed to cover himself up for Rave's sanity.

"Oh, puhleaaase. You're too fucking full of yourself you idiotic baboon."

"At least they had giant butts, so thanks for the compliment bae." Nat winked and flipped himself off the boat, splashing Rave as he made contact with water.

Rave stood on the boat, soaked head to toe, looking like an angry, wet cat.


It was sunset as they docked in front of the vacation house and everyone separated to get ready for the boardwalk fair Nat was so excited about. He was so excited he called the office holding it ahead of time, no one knew what they talked about, but Nat was super excited about one of the events happening tonight. Everyone separated to get showered and dressed for their night out. Before Plank could close the door behind Giselle, Marie grabbed her wrist and pulled her away from Plank's questioning glare.

"What's up?" Giselle asked, wide eyed.

"I need a favor." Marie crossed her arms.

"Yeah?"

"I need acid."

"As in drugs?" Giselle nodded. "How much?"

Marie pulled out a wad of money that Giselle counted.

"Shit, you really want acid.. Alright, I'll see if someone can meet us at the fair."

"I'll split with you if you can."

Giselle smiled, pocketed the money and promised she'd do it.

"What was that?" Plank asked.

Giselle should have felt that he was intruding but she didn't.

"Drugs. Marie wants acid. She splitting with me, are you interested? I won't do it if you're not, you're not going to baby sit me.

"I'll do it."

Giselle smirked at him. "Please do not try to impress me. You honestly do have to."

"And if I want to?"

"Then we are going to have one hell of a good night." They smiled at each other.


"Double D? You don't have to wear the make up, we're going to be on a board walk all night. You'll be sweating it off." Kevin took the bottle of concealer out of his hands.

"I just don't want them to look worse. I wish they'd go away, not even science can effectively hide bruises." Double D sighed. "But thank you regardless. You've been very helpful, even if I have been a pain." He felt nervous, honestly. He thought Kevin would become annoyed with his complaining, but he stayed true to his word and took care of Edd. They slept in separate beds again, but if Edd so much as rolled over Kevin was awake and checking on him.

"Don't get sappy." Kevin chuckled. "'s'not a problem, you know that." He ruffled Edd's air and a gagging noise came from the doorway. "What the fuck do you want, shorty?" Kevin glared down at Eddy.

"You've been hogging MY best friend, cockhead. I'd like him back, thanks." Eddy crossed his arms, hands balled into fists.

"Well tonight ya' can have 'em. Just return 'em in one piece, fuck-hole." Kevin brushed past Eddy, pushing his head slightly into the door frame. Edd felt a sting at Kevin's words but knew they were harmless to him. He felt weird not having Kevin's presence close around him.

Edd and Eddy blankly looked at each other for a moment before Eddy started laughing.

"What?" Edd snapped.

"He's head over heels for you, Nat was fucking right." Eddy laughed harder at the thought of Kevin and Edd together.

"Don't make jokes like that, that's how false feelings and hurt feelings happen. From other people sticking their noses where they're most likely unwelcome. Plus, how unlikely is that? The heterosexuality practically drips off of him. You, my friend, are not funny and not very good at guessing either."

Eddy has shut up and Edd feels kind of proud of that power. Eddy and Edd go downstairs, passing Kevin and Nat speaking very quietly together, to find Nazz and Rolf waiting by the door to the garage.

"Double D are you seriously wearing concealer again?" Nazz frowns. "I know you wanna hide your bruises but the make up looks totally ridiculous on you."

Edd agrees, he also spent half an hour cleaning his face after putting the make up on earlier that morning. But it makes him feel a bit better that he can cover most of it and make the others look better than what they are.

They're standing there, talking a little bit about how excited or not excited they are with the rest of the group. The only two missing is Kevin and Nat. Edd peaks around the corner and sees that they're still talking. He figures its nothing for him to get into but Nat notices him looking at them and waves him over.

"Sorry we're taking so long, Edd. Kevin here is being a little chicken shit and I'm trying to talk some sense into him,"

"How is Kevin being a said 'chicken shit'?" Edd asked, confused on if he really should be in this conversation, thinking that he should have pretended that he didn't see Nat waving him over and wait patiently with the others.

"Look, I'm going to take everyone else with Giselle and then you guys can come when you're ready. I'll text you the directions we took when we get there, okay?" Nat hurried off, not giving either of them the chance to say anything.

"What is he talking about? Why are we having to stay behind?" Edd asks cautiously, looking at Kevin from the corner of his eyes.

"I don't know why he rushed off, honestly. Its not like anything is happening, but I do want to talk to you about something."

Edd gulped. "Okay." He shrugged his shoulders in a bit, making himself seem smaller than he already was. "Okay." He said again, more confident this time. Its just talking, to Kevin... To the cutest jock he's ever seen and the childhood friend-enemy he's had.

"I over heard you and Eddy talking and I just want to set the record straight- I'm not straight, I'm not gay. I'm not bisexual either. I just have a certain type of person I go after, regardless of their gender. I mean obviously their gender is an important factor, but its not something that makes the relationship life or death, its just how the sex is going to be like."

Edd blushed, ears burning while listening to Kevin. "I don't quite understand why you're telling me this, Kevin." He mumbled, looking every where but at the speaker.

"Because I like you."
