This starts off with a bit of a time skip from last chapter, but it is still on the same day. Enjoy.
Eddward spilled milk on his green shirt that did not look very appealing to wear in the first place. The genius jumped at the liquid hitting his shirt hoping that it did not get anywhere else because he did not feel like wearing the stench of rotten milk on him for the rest of the day especially out in the rays of the sun. He took a napkin and began to carefully pat at the spilled contents. Blinking a couple of times, he started to realize something. Everyone around him had not said a word ever since the milk spilled on him, so he looked up and blinked awkwardly.
"Is something wrong you guys," He questioned feeling quite breezy.
"Uh, Sockhead," Eddy was wide-eyed along with several others, "You're missing your sockhead."
Edd gulped before grasping at the top of his head feeling the smooth blackness of his hair, "Ah!"
The scream echoed in the cafeteria bringing more attention to his table. Most of all, it was unwanted attention. He sprang up from his seat dropping everything in his hands and taking hold of the missing item. He rushed from the table and towards the door letting his hair fall in his eyes. Oh, he hated his hair. No matter how many times he had he styled it, he always looked emo in the end. Not even caring who saw anymore, he swung the cafeteria door open and speed walked out of there. The first bathroom he came across, he sprinted inside taking a breath of fresh air when he realized no one was in there to see his god awful hair.
He blew the hair out of his face and slipped the head gear back on. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to live dangerously. The door creaked open, and his heart nearly stopped when he realized it wasn't Ed but it was the least person to expect.
"Y'kay," The guy questioned.
"I-I'm fine, Kev..in," Edd gulped pushing his hat on further.
Kevin stepped on inside locking the door behind him. Edd didn't even know that the bathroom doors locked much less the fact that the jock had followed him here. He could feel the uneasiness creep into his body. Kevin took more steps closer to Edd, and soon he was backed up against the sink as the hulking male stopped a breaths length away.
"Y'know, you're an idiot," Kevin's hands somehow got placed on Edd's shoulders, and he thought for sure his heart really had stopped on him.
He was spun around, though, which was a completely different turn of events than what was playing on in his mind. Kevin's hands then snaked up his face pushing against his cheeks and all Edd could do was watch himself in the mirror. Edd knitted his brows trying to understand what was going on because this really didn't feel realistic.
"This, this 's you," Kevin stated tugging against one of Edd's cheeks.
The skin that was barely getting touched by Kevin was burning sensationally, and his heart rate was out of the roof while listening to Kevin's husky voice. He watched everything Kevin was doing to him, and he saw the complete and utter blush that covered his face. His reactions must have been priceless to Kevin. What could he say, he was a joke of a male.
Kevin finally took hold of his hat pulling it off forcefully, "This, this 's also you and no matter what people tell ya. You need t'remember t'live with no regrets. Understand me?"
Edd watched himself in the mirror for the longest time as Kevin stood behind him perfectly. Tall, handsome, but all that went through his mind was earlier in the restroom when he was almost so close to seeing Kevin's lower half. The musk smell that he smelled on Kevin when he was in Coach Ross's room invaded his nose almost making him lean against the jock wanting to feel against the hardened body. But soon, there came a banging on the door and muffled yelling from the other side. Edd became startled moving closer to the sink than ever. Kevin huffed crossing the room instantly unlocking the door.
Unsurprisingly, Ed was there with a smile that turned to narrowed eyes. What was he supposed to think when opening the door to see Kevin smiling slickly and Edd with an oversized blush on his face while his hat was still in Kevin's hands. Ah, Edd's hat was still in Kevin's hands. Edd strode across the room trying to imitate Kevin but slid and tripped into the taller boys back squishing his nose.
"Nnh," He rubbed it before slipping his hand shyly down snatching ahold of the hat, but to no avail before saying anything Kevin had taken Edd's hand as well intertwining both of their hands together with the hat still between them. His body had now twisted around to face Edd's own.
"Oh, no you don't," Kevin purred even huskier than when they were alone and Edd could have sworn he felt a dangerous aura behind the male. He gulped by the turn of events and Kevin leaned unsafely close for Edd to comprehend and enticingly whispered into his innocent little ear, "You still owe me, dweeb," And Edd declared that the last words Kevin said took the last breath out of him.
Edd knew that his friend could not have heard, but the deathly aura only heightened at the close contact. Before knowing what happened, Ed had his hand firmly on Kevin's shoulder maybe a little too tightly, but they were both pretty tough guys Edd assumed.
"Don'tcha suppose he's had enough," Ed had clenched teeth baring like an animal. It was a pretty scary sight to behold.
Kevin gave an outstretched smile that even Edd knew was fake, "I s'pose you're right, I'll see ya at practice, Ed."
With that, Kevin had already walked across the hall turning the corner before Edd could still even comprehend the situation. Ed's face softened immensely when Kevin had left.
"Did he hurt you D-D," His friend was in his space within seconds touching all over his face carelessly. It felt as though he was taking back his territory by touching all the spots that he thought that Kevin had touched.
Although this grip from Ed was quite comforting, the burning spots left from Kevin would just not go away, "H-He did not, Ed."
"He still has your hat," His buddies eyes were fixed on his own intensely staring him down.
Truth be told, Edd figured it was because Ed ever hardly got to see him without his hat. It wasn't too obvious that, that was bothering the taller boy. Edd looked anywhere but directly at Ed. It was embarrassing to not have his hat on. Stupid Kevin.
Meanwhile, Kevin had slipped past the corner breathing heavily, "Did I come on too strong? D-Does he know?"
The jock blushed but covered the blush by putting the back of his palm over his nose, "God dammit, get ahold of yourself fucking idiot! Ugh, I-I have to see him…at practice."
Kevin peered down realizing his other hand still held the nerd's hat. He swayed his eyes back and forth seeing if anyone was around before going on with his horrible idea. His hand raised high clenching in a fist as he looked at the soft, small object.
"Edd's…hat," He pulled it in starting to sniff it as if it were girl's underwear. No, it was nothing like a female's scent. It was so much better. The smell of shampoo, "Smells like one of those pink trees that come every spring…ah."
His knees became wobbly, and so he dropped down to a crouch smelling the hat intensely. If he hadn't of been in the hallway, he probably would have unzipped his pants and done the deed right there. Knocked out of his thoughts by the bell ringing, he quickly stuck the hat in his back pocket before lifting up and acting like the whole situation never happened.
Edd's hands trembled as he walked through the hallway without his hat and consciously peered down at his feet. His old sneakers should have been thrown away months ago, but time really had slipped through his fingers recently. Ed strode up beside him blocking the way for many to see him without his hat considering Ed was on his left and the lockers were on his right. Sniffling, Edd peered up giving a small forgiving smile.
"Practice will be lively to say the least," Edd huffed the hair out of his face.
The big guy pulled Edd closer into a small half hug before letting go, "It will."
Edd didn't want to bring it up, but he stopped in the hallway making Ed stop as well, "I-I just want to clarify that-that nothing happened in that bathroom."
Ed gave a strange look, "I know that. If something had…" He paused before continuing after placing his hand on Edd's shoulder, "If something had, I would have ripped Kevin to shreds."
Edd went wide-eyed at such a comment from Ed, the innocent and dumbfounded friend, "Edd, I just…I—" He stopped as he saw Eddy approaching.
He gave a small throaty noise as Eddy came into hearing distance, "Hey guys," The two just gave a small smile.
"Are you okay without your hat Sock…head," He had paused slightly unsure if he wanted to call Edd that.
"I will be fine, Eddy," Edd pursed his lips feeling his hair once more.
"It doesn't look that bad, y'know," Eddy spoke fast.
"I do not think it looks-" Edd tried protesting.
"You do too," Eddy gave a knowing look, "Why else would ya wear that sock of a hat all day!"
"Maybe I like that "sock of a hat" Eddy," Edd sucked in a breath of air, "Have you not ever thought of that?"
Eddy realized he was itching at something he shouldn't have, "I guess not."
Edd blinked out of his rage noticing how rude he had been, "I apologize Eddy."
"No, you're all good," Eddy spoke, "I'm not gonna be able to make it to the jocks practice t'night."
He started to turn away down the hall before Edd realized just what he had done, "Wai-"
Eddy was gone. Edd gulped feeling a rock in his throat and Ed just stood there with him not noticing what had just happened. He couldn't take today at all. Not only had he made a fool of himself by spilling milk on him, but he lost his hat to the one guy he couldn't get it back from showing off his ugly mop of hair. One of his best friends won't get a chance to hear what he will say tonight all because he just had to get angry over the pettiest of things. He wanted to break down in tears right there in the hall, but he stopped himself when he looked at Ed.
"I will see you at practice I suppose," Edd did a 360 knowing that practice would not go the way he wants.
Ed protested, but Edd's thin body slipped through the crowd easily.
He sat down placing his hand on his cheek and his elbow sat on his knee. Class ended quite miserably in Coach Ross's, but he wasn't being alienated any longer which really was the only great phenomenon going on in his life. His eyes surveyed the football field seeing a couple of students he hardly knew and the coaches huddled in a circle talking about something probably really important. He had 15 minutes of contemplation to himself before the guys would come out in their uniforms.
Edd really didn't like to think about it, but something about those uniforms gave him such an itch that he couldn't describe into words. Edd started peaking around doing what he always does—he liked to figure out what people were thinking. He found a small blond, Leala, he remembered from his science class. She was for sure here for her boyfriend who Edd couldn't recall his name, but was a very stout and had a similar body structure as Eddy but much taller.
She had her body slouched forward holding herself up with her hands circled right in her lap. She was very tense, but Edd was for sure because she was intensely waiting for her boyfriend. Right now, he was the only thing on her mind. Kevin flashed into mind as Edd considered a boyfriend status, and he shook his lethal thoughts away compiling the exact thoughts going through her mind.
Ah, it's almost time. Just picture this cute, tiny voice coming from her, Edd snickered gently. I love the way he looks as he runs out onto the field after—after being in that dressing room with all of those other males. A slight blush covering her face. He couldn't see her face, but he knew it was there. With their well-defined backs, but his is the best. His arms outstretched showing off every muscle as he stripped down from his school clothes to that very tight uniform. A slight gulp appearing on her expression. His peni—
Ripped from his thoughts, the first couple of Football players joined the field and several of the coaches surrounded them with joyful expressions. Edd perked up hoping to see Ed quite soon, but in the back of his mind, he wished Eddy were here so he could discuss the importance of his families struggles. Looking immensely towards the dressing room for the jocks, he finally saw Ed come out but Kevin was right by his side. Of course, he couldn't see too much but they were very close to one another.
Edd had never really noticed how close the two were with each other until just recently. A ping of jealousy stinging at his heart. Slightly annoyed, he crossed his arms leaning in on his knees staring at the two of them coming up the path conversing between themselves.
"I swear t' God, Ed," Kevin poked at Ed's chest, "Don't ever touch me like 'at 'gain!"
Ed gave a narrow eye knowing that Edd was watching them, "It's your fault for getting that close to him. You know he doesn't want you!"
Kevin glared, "Lower your fuckin' voice big head," He said with clenched teeth pulling Ed's face in close.
"And he does fuckin' want me," Kevin smirked, "You should've seen his cute little expression in the bathroom with me. He was in my palm. I could've taken him right there if I—"
Ed pushed Kevin's face away from him, "Shut the fuck up," He nearly whispered making frequent looks over towards where Edd was sitting.
Kevin nearly laughed pushing Ed towards the other side of the grass, "Dumb ass, try me!"
"Alright, alright boys. You two never seem to surprise me with your infinite quarrels," The coach came up smacking both of them on the back, "Get in formation."
Both of them gave each other a knowing look before each one took a look up on the bleachers meeting eyes with Edd. He gasped looking away from Kevin as he peered up, "Oh God, this is so embarrassing," He messed with his hair feeling the sun burn his head. It felt weird knowing that his hair was exposed.
Kevin stared for a moment while Edd looked away, but he could tell there was a slight blush on the nerds face. He saw the idiot look over at him sticking his tongue out because of the unannounced win. Now, it was time to show Edd just what he was made of.
Alright, that's chapter 4. It is a bit long and maybe not as interesting as it should have been. I apologize if it may seem that way.
