Authors' Notes:
DuoXKouga: Hey, guys, there's a very very naughty scene in this chapter. It is forced so please, be warned! It is between an ADULT and a MINOR! It's about to get really dark. *turns on flashlight*
Battygirl: Kay so, this one takes a turn down a dark road. If you're not comfortable with the triggers we've listed, you best turn away NOW. Because shit's about to go down and we don't need anyone upset. Also, I forgot to mention in my notes for the last chapter, but we HAVE given Eddy's brother a name. We wont' be JUST calling him 'Bro' or 'Eddy's brother' throughout the entirety of the fic. The opportunity just hasn't presented itself yet for Bro to introduce himself or for Eddy to say his name. I know that sounds odd. You're prolly thinking, well why doesn't he just SAY it? Well, in my head, Eddy would just call him bro until he blurts the name out at some point...which will prolly be NEXT chapter. So…till then you'll just have to wait and speculate.
There's another thing I forgot to mention last chapter that I'd like to bring up real quick here. I'm aware of a certain anonymous reviewer on this site who's made comments on one of my favorite BroEdd fics that are less 'flames' and more harassment. You know who you are, man. Coming into a story you don't approve of and leaving an angry comment over and over again. Anon reviews ARE enabled right now, but if we see that happening, you guys will lose that privilege. We are not going to deal with that. We don't deserve it and if you don't like it and review anyway, then it's YOUR problem, not mine.
Edit: Sorry about the issues with the chapters and order and stuff. Everything should be correct now.
Chapter 2: An Ed More In Sorrow Than Anger
Eddy sits there in stunned silence, staring after the van long after it has disappeared from his sight. He wants to move; to run until his feet bleed and his body gives out. Instead, he sits there, mind reeling but also at a standstill. His body won't respond to his wishes. He vaguely notices the others moving around him. He ignores them. Now they want to help?
Fuck them.
Rolf is running over to Ed, screaming some gibberish Eddy only ever half understands anyway.
"Ed-boy! Speak to Rolf!" the self-proclaimed 'son of a shepherd' pleas as he reaches the unconscious boy.
May joins him shortly, tears in her eyes.
"Ed!" she sobs, cradling his head in her lap, "Please, wake up!"
Ed moans incomprehensibly, responding to May's gentle petting. He blinks his eyes open one at a time. For a moment, he just looks around blearily. He spots Eddy, sitting alone, and his eyes search for Edd. The situation comes crashing down upon him as he remembers the events that led up to his blackout. Eddy's brother hurting Double D. Eddy's brother throwing Eddy at him. Nothing.
"Eddy!" he screams, bolting to his feet, "Double D! Ed will save you!"
He begins to run around in a frenzy. Eddy's brother is nowhere in sight. Neither is Edd.
Sarah glares at him as he runs around frantically; "Stop that, you idiot!"
Ed stops and whips around to her. She and Jimmy stand near Lee and Marie, cowering and holding each other. Sarah is, naturally, much more calm than her companion, who is shaking like a leaf. Ed barrels towards them.
"Baby sister!" he cries, scooping them up into a crushing bear hug, "Are you hurt?!"
"Ed!" Sarah shrieks, startling him, "Put us down!"
Ed does so delicately. To his right, Marie is pacing back and forth, her arms switching between crossing defensively over her chest and waving frantically in the air as she mumbles angry curses to herself.
"That big jerk!" she grumbles, "Taking my boyfriend like that — Who the fuck does he think he is?! — D-Double D!"
Lee is ignoring her, her focus entirely on Eddy. He had still yet to move from his spot during all of this commotion and it was starting to concern her. She takes a few steps toward him.
"Where oh where has my Double D gone?!" Ed cries, running in place as he looks around in a panic.
A silence stretches among the kids as they debate with looks who should reveal what happened. The tension gives the answer as Jimmy bursts into tears.
"Eddy's brother took Double D!" he screams shrilly, waving his hands in front of his face as he bawls. He fell to the ground into a fetal position. "It was awful! He bruised and bullied Double D and Eddy and then he took him away! Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!"
The child devolves into nothing but sobs and Ed soon joins him with screams of horror. A sigh escapes Nazz as she rushes over to them in an effort to calm them down and explain the situation properly.
Lee, by this time, has reached Eddy. For a moment, she does nothing. She isn't used to this kind of conflict or comforting anyone but her sisters. Were this a normal situation, she'd have made a smart ass remark; playing it off as nothing.
This situation is very different.
Tensely, she reaches a hand towards Eddy. No sooner had she placed her hand on his shoulder when it was smacked away. Eddy slowly stands and shoots her a hateful glare.
"Don't touch me!" he roars, startling her, "Don't you fucking touch me!"
Kevin steps forward, "Dude, relax!"
"Shut the fuck up, Shovel-chin!" Eddy snaps, pointing an accusing finger at the jock, "Where were you when he was touching Double D?! Where were you when he was dragging him away?!"
"Chill, man" Kevin tries to assuage him, "I was just—"
"This is all your fault!" Eddy growls, "If you guys hadn't been trying to kill us, we wouldn't have come all this way!" He turns his accusing gaze to the Kankers. "If you had any backbone between the three of you, you could've stopped him!" He tugs at his hair as tears well in his eyes, "None of you did anything! You just stood there and let it happen!"
He screws his eyes shut, feeling as though his head may burst any minute from his frustration and anger and pain and…A few tears escape his shut eyes. He wants so bad to cast the blame on everyone around him. He wants so bad to say this isn't his fault.
But it is.
His hands come down to cover his eyes as he sobs. It is his fault Edd is gone. He's the one who messed up their scam. He's the one who lead them to believe that his brother would help them. He's the one who gave Double D all of those clues stretched so far from the truth, underestimating his best friend's intelligence time and again. He's the one at fault.
I didn't get to tell him…His thoughts buzz around in his head like a swarm of angry bees. I didn't get to tell him I was sorry for this whole mess. I didn't get to tell him I'm sorry for making him cry. That I'm sorry for scaring him so much with those horrible pranks! I didn't get to tell him I'm sorry for lying all this time about my brother. I didn't tell him I…I didn't tell him…Edd…
"I'm sorry," he whimpers, sniffling as tears fall freely down his cheeks and as he sinks to his knees once more, "It's all my fault. Everything I ever said about my brother…I-I lied…A-About everything! I'm sorry…I'm sorry…"
Ed's arms are around him within moments of his apology. He barely notices the warmth or Ed's stink. He's too lost in his own tears. Ed feels Eddy gripping his t-shirt between his fingers.
"I'm sorry," he blubbers into Ed's chest, "It's all my fault, Ed…I'm sorry…"
Ed pats his back comfortingly, but fights to find the words to say. He didn't know what he could say. He feels just as lost.
The group is startled by a loud horn as a bus careens into the park. It spins on its wheels as it skids to a halt several yards away. A silence follows, most of the kids staring at the bus expectantly.
"Your time of reckoning has come, rapscallions!"
Johnny leaps from the bus dressed in the guise of his alter-ego, Captain Melonhead. He holds a broom in his right hand which has Plank tied to the end. A mask has been tied over the board's 'eyes' for his 'Spinter the Wonder Wood' identity. Johnny's eyes are trained on the two remaining Eds, and, with little other warning, charges for them.
"It's Melon Time!" he cries.
The kids move to defend the grief-stricken boys, but soon find there is no need. Ed lets go of Eddy and stands. His face is dark and frightening as Johnny barrels towards them. The melon-helmeted boy runs into him, only to be knocked back by the wall that was Ed. Looming over him, Ed casts him his most fearsome look.
"Horrible fate!" he roars, startling Johnny, "You will not hurt Eddy anymore!"
Johnny's face screams his confusion and fear of the largest Ed. He hadn't seen the boy this furious since the day Ed had a pebble in his shoe. He had chosen to take his frustrations out on everyone in the cul-de-sac. He'd nearly broken Plank over his knee that day. Fear grips Johnny like a vice as that possibility rears its ugly head in his mind.
Eddy almost feels bad for him. The kid didn't know what was going on. However, he finds himself too hurt to care about filling him in. Nazz, thankfully, steps in.
"Dude, not cool," she coos softly as she approaches the late-arriver, "Now isn't the time to, like, be on the Eds' case."
Ed turns back to Eddy to allow Nazz to talk to Johnny. His sorrowful chum needs him now for comfort. Marie storms up to them.
"Why are we just standing around?!" she shrieks.
Kevin steps forward; "She's right." He turns to Ed and Eddy. "Dudes, I know you're sad and all that, but the longer we sit around crying and shit, the farther away they get. We need a game plan."
"What's to plan?!" Marie cries in a rage, "We chase after that asshole!"
"How do you suppose we do that?!" Kevin snaps back, "And even if we could catch up to them, how do you think we're gonna take on that psycho?!"
"Hey, he said he'd give Double D back if we found 'em!" Marie insists.
Eddy glares at her; "You really think my Bro is gonna do that?!" His words startle them. "You really think my Bro's gonna give Double D back just because we win?!"
Marie shrinks in on herself; she hadn't thought of that…After what they'd seen of the man, she guesses that he probably wouldn't surrender their friend. They really did need a plan of attack.
Lee places a hand on her shoulder; "Don't worry, Marie, we'll get your boyfriend back. Nobody steals from the Kankers and gets away with it!"
Eddy rises to his feet, slowly finding his resolve.
"Nobody splits up the Eds, either," he growls, looking to Ed, "You with me, big guy?"
Ed looks at Eddy carefully before pulling himself to his feet and wrapping him up in a hug. Eddy returns it, hugging him tightly. When Ed pulls away, he's grinning widely.
"Let's go save our Double D!" he cries.
Eddy grins back, determined, and turns to the others.
"Alright, we don't got a lot of time," he dictates, "Who's got any ideas?"
"Someone should take Jimmy, Sarah, and Johnny home," Nazz suggests, "They shouldn't be exposed to this any more than they have been. I can do that while you guys go look for Double D. After all, our parents trust me to be responsible, so I'm probably the best person to watch over them."
"What are you gonna tell the folks?" Eddy asks seriously, "My bro warned us that–"
"I'll come up with something," Nazz assures him, "I won't tell them your brother's involved. At least not at first. After day three, I'm going to have to tell them no matter what."
Eddy nods in approval and Nazz approaches the younger kids, ushering them along. Jimmy and Sarah look happy to be leaving. They cast Eddy a sorrowful look, wishing without speaking that Edd is found and returned safe and sound.
As they walk away, Nazz finds herself thinking about how surprised she is by this turn. As long as she'd known Eddy, she'd never seen him this serious. She realizes she shouldn't be so shocked; Edd had been taken from them. She had never seen the Eds separated like this before, if at all, since they'd known each other. A grin finds its way to her face as she escorts the children away; glad to see Eddy taking charge to save his friend.
When they are out of sight, Eddy turns to Kevin and Rolf.
"Next, we gotta try to find a trail or something," he determines before pointing to the tracks in the ground left by the van, "We won't be able to follow those tire tracks for too long if my bro turns onto a paved road."
"Rolf will provide the tracking skills needed to find the brainy Ed-boy!" Rolf announced pridefully, "Wilfred!" The pig squeals and waddles away. Rolf gives chase. "Wilfred! Return to Rolf this instant!"
Eddy rubbed his eyes tiredly; "Oh my God…Double D's a goner…"
Lee shakes her head and walks toward the trailer.
"Leave this one to us, boys," she grunts, "May, Marie!" She points to the door. "Search the place!"
The girls turn to the trailer, eyes alight with deviance as they charge for the door, disappearing inside and shutting themselves in. The boys watch in shock as the trailer rocks and shakes. The sisters are tearing the place apart! Kevin pales a he's reminded of the incident surrounding the Kanker's ship in a bottle. They'd destroyed the entire cul-de-sac looking for that thing. The only ones spared back then were the Eds. It had been a dark day that summer.
After about twenty minutes, Lee kicks the door open, a book in her hands. She approaches Eddy. Upon closer inspection, Eddy finds it to be a photo album.
"You think there's anything in there?" Lee asks, handing the album to Eddy.
"I dunno," Eddy grumbles, sitting down and flipping through the pages "I never saw this one before…"
The photos in the book are very old. His parents are in most of them. He starts to see red; his brother is in them too. He's much younger – one or two years older than Eddy is now, if he had to guess – but he still looks as surly as he always had. Eddy thumbs through the pages. He didn't know what exactly he is looking for, but he has a strong feeling that something here would give them a heading.
His parents; happy, both smoking heavily in their photos. His brother; trying to look cool, but looking more annoyed than anything. He stops on a photo of the three of them, standing in front of a trailer. For as long as he could remember, his mother had always been a larger woman, but even here, Eddy is able to make out a pregnant belly. This picture was taken before he was born, when his mother was pregnant with him. Edd had explained to him the truth about where babies come from. After several hours of disgust and panic, he came to accept that his brother had been trying to scare him with his version. He's capable of spotting these things now.
He also sees the cold look his brother is giving his parents. They don't seem to notice. Eddy assumes they never did if they kept the photo. He takes the image out to examine it more closely. They weren't in Peach Creek Estates here. It was a trailer park. Squinting, he is just barely able to make out a sign in the background.
'Pine Fresh Motor Homes'.
He realizes it's a long shot, but maybe this really is the clue he was looking for.
"Hey, guys," he announces, "I think I found somethin'."
Edd sits, slumped against the back door of the van, still sniffling. His thoughts are heavy with worry. He wonders if he would ever see his friends again. He imagines he could live without seeing the Kankers for the rest of his life, but he would be lying if he said he wouldn't prefer their company over Eddy's brother's.
Kevin…Rolf…Nazz…
Their faces fade in and out of his mind. Would they miss him? The three of them had treated him with slightly more favor in the past than his friends. Of course, he feels as though the scam that landed him in this mess might have eradicated any favor they may have had towards him.
Sarah…Jimmy…Johnny…
Edd tries to blink away his tears. No, they wouldn't care. Sarah and Jimmy had come to see him and his friends beaten and he feels positive that Johnny would delight in his absence.
One less Ed to worry about…
He reflects on his dearest friends. Ed, loveable oaf as he is, will be heartbroken. Edd can almost hear his dear friend's cries of anguish. And Eddy…
His heart gives a throb when he thinks of him and he bites his lip. What on earth was this? He considers how he has started feeling this more and more when his thoughts turned to his shorter companion. A feeling of warmth in his chest that would spread throughout his body and to the tips of his fingers and toes. He always tried to think back on his readings when this feeling hit him; searching his memories for a nugget of information that would explain this. Nothing ever did.
He shakes his head. No use thinking on that now. He would search for his answer later. Right now, he decides to focus on returning to his friends.
Shakily, he pulls himself up onto his hands and knees. With the vehicle moving like this, he can only find stability this way. He slowly makes his way to the front of the van where Eddy's brother is busy focusing on the road.
…Or so Edd hoped.
He watches as the man leans over, grabbing something from the floor. Edd squeaks as the van swerves suddenly, sending him onto his side. Bro repositions himself and brings the bottle of beer up to his mouth, popping the cap off with his teeth. The sound of teeth scraping against metal and glass makes Edd cringe almost as much as the alcohol intake itself. The boy grimaces and makes his move.
Eddy's brother manages to take one swig of his beer before it's snatched from of his hand. He looks over at the kid who is now in the passenger seat with his beer in hand. Edd's eyes are wide and he appears to be really flustered.
"Are you mad?!" Edd shouts at the man beside him as he holds the foul-smelling beverage away from his face, but out of Bro's reach, "I demand you cease this drunken behavior and turn this vehicle around!"
Bro stares at the boy before breaking out in a roar of laughter. Oh man, this kid was a riot!
No wonder Pipsqueak wants him so damn bad!
He grins at Edd who shivers at the look.
"Sorry 'bout your luck, Princess, but this is a one way trip for you." He smirks maliciously as he reaches to take his beer back. Edd holds it just out of reach, drawing a growl from him as the boy moves further back against the passenger door. "Give me my beer back, you little bitch."
"No!" Edd cries at him, holding the bottle out of the window. Bro watches him out of the corner of his eye, but Edd can see the man wasn't taking him seriously at all. He would have to make his demands more clear. "Take me back to my friends this instant! We'll never bother you again and you can have your precious alcohol back!"
An amused chuckle escapes the man. He dismisses the boy's words as an empty threat as he returns his attention back to the road. A sudden clinking sound catches his attention. Glancing back over at the window, he watches as the boy gives him a small, devious grin before dropping the bottle out the window.
Edd has no time to react as Bro slams on the breaks. The boy cries out in pain as his head slams into the dashboard before he's thrown back into the passenger seat. Bro grabs the back of his shirt yanking him over as the man glares down at him, anger burning in his eyes.
"What the fuck was that, you little shit?!" He demands, motioning with his arm towards the window.
Edd flinches in anticipation of a strike. Bro shakes the boy, his anger refusing to sizzle over. Without a second though, he brings his hand down across the boy's face, slapping him across his cheek and making the boy's head follow the action, snapping to the side. Edd is stunned, gripped with pure shock and fear, as he slowly raises his hand to touch his burning, red cheek before looking up at Bro with fearful eyes.
"How'm I supposed to drive without something to drink?!" The man is irate and he growls as he attempts to focus "That was my last beer, dammit!"
How the hell is he expected to drive now?! That really was the only beer he had in the van and, besides the kid, he has no other way to…
…Wait a second…
Bro looks Edd over. The boy is crying softly from being hit and is cowering from the man before him. Bro's smirk returns to his face as he realizes just how he could keep himself entertained.
And Edd really did need to be punished for wasting that beer.
Moving his grip from the Edd's shirt to the boy's chin and gripping tightly, he pulls the boy closer. He reaches down with his other hand and slowly unzips his pants, pulling out his half-erect cock. Edd's eyes grew wide and he pulled his hat down over his eyes.
"Make yourself decent!" the boy demands, struggling against the man.
"Sorry, Princess," the man purrs back, "But since you decided to be such a bad boy, I'm gonna have to punish you."
Bro licks his lips as he presses his thumb over the boy's soft lips. He groans softly in anticipation of having those lips on his cock.
"P-Please!" Edd begs, "Put that…that thing away! It's so inappropriate!"
Edd cries out as his head is drawn closer to the man's crotch and he flinches when the man shoves his face right next to it. Shivers rack his body when he feels the appendage harden against his cheek. Desperately, he cries out and begins pushing at the man's thighs.
Bro grimaces in irritation before reaching into the broken glove box and retrieving a pair of gleaming, silver handcuffs. Grabbing the boy's wrists, he jerks them behind his back, making Edd whimper in discomfort. He clicks them tightly into place and Edd struggles to free his hands from behind his back.
"There ya go, sweetheart," He smirks as he pulls the boy's face back to his crotch, pleased when Edd cannot struggle as much.
His grip on the boy's chin tightens and makes the boy whimper in pain as his mouth is forced open. With a grin, Bro forces Edd to take the entire length into his mouth. The boy's body violently tries to pull itself free as gagging sounds come from him. Edd is panicking as this filthy…filthy thing is forced into his mouth. The elder moans in pleasure. The feeling of that small mouth around his cock is heavenly. So warm and wet. He looks down, watching the boy struggle to breathe around the obstruction.
"Breathe through your nose." Bro groans as he begins to drive once again.
Moving his hand to the back of Edd's neck near the base of his hairline, he begins a slow pace of bobbing the boy's head up and down his cock. Edd squirms in his grip. To cease his writhing, Bro gets rougher. His cock slams into the back of the boy's throat, making Edd gag and cough.
"If you puke on me, I'll kill you," the threat spoken through the man's teeth makes Edd feel even more sick than he already did.
This is so dirty! He wants him to release his head so he can curl up and weep for his friends. He wants a shower; to scrub himself raw. He yearns for mouthwash to remove this wretched taste from his mouth. The member violating his mouth and resting on his tongue is so thick and he can barely remember to take breaths as it rams into his mouth rougher each time. When it hits the back of his throat, pain and nausea course through him.
Bro lays his head back, moaning. He's somehow able to keep his eyes on the road ahead of him, but only just. He can't get enough of Edd's mouth around him and he can feel himself slowly drawing closer to release. He pushes the boy's head all the way down and moans softly as the heat pools in his stomach. He looks at Edd's teary, red face and gives him another cold, sadistic grin.
"Here's a little treat for doing such a good job, Princess," Bro's voice rumbles low in his chest, "Swallow it all."
The boy lets out a soft whimper before his eyes widen. Cum hits the back of his throat and pools in his mouth, making him retch. Edd tries desperately to pull away so he didn't have to swallow the foul ejaculate, but the grip on the back of his neck makes it impossible for him to do so.
He has no choice.
Reluctantly, he forces himself to swallow and allows the tears to fall. Nausea hits his stomach immediately and his body fights to dispel the fluids. But he withholds his vomit, the man's threat heavy on his mind.
Bro waits until his cock has softened before pulling the boy up. Gripping the boy's sore chin again and opening Edd's mouth, he smiles in approval. The boy had indeed done exactly as he'd asked.
"That's a good boy," he chuckled, patting Edd's cheek, "Wasn't it yummy?"
He shoves Edd back into the passenger's seat and tucks himself back into his pants. The boy is crying and coughing as he curls up. His hands are still restrained behind his back, but he still moves as far away from the man as he can, sobbing. Bro smirks and reaches over to touch the boy's leg, which is extended slightly towards him in Edd's effort to move away.
"Don't worry, Princess," he purrs, stroking the boy's thigh, "There's plenty more where that came from."
