Racing Love

Chapter 4: Hidden abilities

Lee smiled as she watched Raven play in front of her. She was sitting in the back yard on the lawn chair that was pulled up to a thick glass table. Raven was running in the sprinkler. He was laughing and giggling, it was only a few weeks from when the adoption went through and it was nice. She looked through the red curtain of her hair to see the two figures on the rooftop just a house over. She smiled wider and sent a small text to Edd. This was the only real reason she straighten out her hair. It provided the perfect way to spy. She laughed as Raven slipped and fell.

Edd was installing a new engine when his phone went off. Taking it out he looked at the text from Lee.

Spotted on roof next to Eddy's

Edd frowned and he took off his gloves and rolling his shoulders. Turning he looked at Kevin.

"Hey Kev, I need to leave early today, I will make it up tomorrow okay?" Kevin frowned and nodded.

"Alright, I will see you tomorrow then." Edd grinned and raced out of the shop and hopped into his charger before speeding away. Pulling up outside his house he grabbed his twin swords as he waited for a very important text. His phone went off and he grinned at what it said.

Permission granted. Leave no evidence.

Edd sighed and grinned, finally the dark cloud would go away and everyone else could live care free. Walking outside he walked to the right house and silently climbed up the ladder that was already there. He looked at the two figures that didn't realize that he was there. Rave and Eddy's big brother. Sighing silently he shifted forward and plunged the swords right into their hearts. Rave's head turned with an expression of shock.

"No more dark clouds over their heads." Was all Edd said as Rave's eyes lost all sign of life. Edd quickly cleaned up the scene and his weapons before taking a long bath and sending a text to the kanker sisters. Finally everyone could relax. No one would have to take a bullet again. As Edd closed his eyes he saw a flashback of Nat holding out his hand to try and placate Eddy's big brother and him getting a bullet through it, barely missing any other part of him. A flashback of Eddy cowering and crying over Nat. Opening cyan eyes he looked over at his phone that was ringing. Drying off his hands he answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Thanks sock head." Was all that was said before the line went dead and Edd smiled softly. Eddy was still not great at showing his emotions, but he was trying. Edd jumped as the phone rang again in his hand.

"Hello?" There was Kevin's voice arguing with Aqua on the other side before he addressed Edd.

"Hey Edd, Aqua and I were wondering if you would like to come over for dinner tonight." Edd arched an eyebrow at the phone, if he didn't know better he would say the redhead was asking him out.

"Of course I would like to be invited to your home for dinner, what time should I show up?"

"Would eight be okay?" Edd checked his phone, it was six thirty now. He crossed his legs, causing the water to slosh around him.

"E-e-edd are you in the bathtub?" The stutter to Kevin's voice was adorable.

"Why yes I am, both you and Eddy had called so I had no choice but to answer. And eight would be lovely, I will see you soon." Edd hung up and chuckled. Getting out he grabbed his towel and walked over to his room after cleaning up after himself in the bathroom. He had a date to get ready for.

Kevin blushed as he looked at the phone in his hand. He was bombarded by thoughts of the lean raven haired man luxuriously lounging in a bathtub, naked and wet.

"Dad your face is beet red, what perverted thoughts are you having about our neighbor?" Aqua teased the man and he returned it with a glare.

"I am not having thought about Edd like that." Aqua raised an eyebrow and waved him off like she didn't believe him. "I am not! Now go get clean while I make dinner!" Aqua grinned as she scampered up stairs.
