The Pumpkin was 10 minutes late and Eddward was starting to feel impatient, but also he arrived 1 hour earlier so… Luckily the movie will start at 7 so he still had time.

But what if the Pumpkin changed his mind? Eddward wanted to call him to be sure but he was afraid to hear the answer. What if he tells him that he forgot it or that simply he wasn't going and then just disappears? He never felt so insecure, so nervous, so pessimistic. But he will wait, he won't run away.

A group of teens appeared and he could see a red hat from the distance. Was he the Pumpkin? He came again with other people and this time to actually laugh at him? He could see a blonde girl holding his hand, this was too much, he was angry and sad, he should go now and don't give him the chance to humiliate him.

But then he could see better and it wasn't his Pumpkin, it was someone worse: the other Kevin.

This was low, did the Pumpkin send him? It was maybe just a coincidence? Maybe they came together? Should he run or hide? They were closer and closer. What to do? What to do?

Eddward stayed still, for some reason he couldn't move. His heart was beating fast. But they passed by and ignored him completely, they were just going to the movies. Eddward exhaled.

20 minutes late. Eddward thought that maybe the Pumpkin was behind them or kind of came with them but nothing.

30 minutes late. If the Pumpkin changed his mind he wouldn't blame him but… At least a text message would have been nice.

40 minutes late. Eddward felt so stupid, waiting there for more than an hour, waiting for someone that hated him and obviously won't come.

"Eddward?" A sweet voice asked him. It was him, he came after all. He was so happy. But the moment he saw him his insecurities came back. He looked annoyed, what did he expected after all? "Sorry I'm late… I… I didn't want to come." Ouch, that hurt. The Pumpkin was always brutally honest and that mouth of his always got him in problems. And maybe he was trying to provoke him on purpose? Eddward forced a smile and tried to talk like usually.

"But you are here now, so let's hurry, we are still on time to the movie." He tried to grab his hand but a glare from the Pumpkin was enough to stop him. "Fine. I get it. Then just follow me, I will buy you some snacks."

Kevin didn't say a word and just followed him in silence. Silent Kevin was worse than mouthy Kevin. Eddward was starting to shake a little from impotence, and yet conserving his coolness. He decided that he deserve that attitude towards him, after all he did to the Pumpkin, this was nothing, but damn! it hurts a lot.

Eddward thought it was a good idea to be kind and patient with Kevin, he was being punished for everything he did to him and he must accept it with a smile and behave better to show him he changed. Maybe with time Kevin would stop to being all defensive.

Kevin was really cute that day, he didn't look nerdy, he was just casual. His regular quiz bowl hat was gone and replaced with a normal red hat. No bow-tie or shirt with a knitted sweater. Just a t-shirt and a hoodie with jeans, if he only could wear this at school maybe no one would molest him.

"What do you want, Pumpkin?" Eddward asked when they arrived at the candy and snack store.

"To stop calling me like that. My name is Kevin. And… Popcorn and soda would be fine. With extra butter and Coca-Cola please." Kevin answered coldly while taking a seat. In any other situation Eddward would be already mad and ready to punch him in the face for his insolence, but right now he was… Just hurt. Dammit, this date was already awful, Kevin wasn't in a good mood and it was almost sure that he was the cause… Or maybe not? He will ask him later. Right now he just went to buy the snacks.

They had only 10 minutes to get to their seats. Eddward was carrying everything to try to impress the Pumpkin but at some point he just felt ridiculous because Kevin wasn't paying attention to him at all. When they got to their seats Kevin was the one who talked.

"Eddward, if you try something weird, the date is over. You are not allowed to touch me " said Kevin annoyed not accepting the snacks Eddward was trying to give him. Eddward was losing his patience, he really hated when he was trying hard to be nice and the Pumpkin was just being a jerk with him.

"Stop it already, Pumpkin, don't push your luck " he was getting really mad.

" Or what? I'm not the one who begged for this date, besides I'm only putting my limits that you must respect. If you don't want… then the date is over! " he wasn't yelling but his words hit Eddward. Kevin was about to leave, but Eddward stopped him.

"Don't! " again, he was losing him, again he was about to beg him to stay "Ok, I get it. I'm sorry." Don't beg, don't beg, it's already hard to look at him in the eyes! "…you… Are you mad at me?" What stupid question! Of course he was mad at him for like two years or more!

"Eddward… This is stupid, YOU stop it already! " Kevin looked him at the eyes but Eddward looked away. "Why are you doing this? You look pathetic." Kevin's words were harsh. There were two paths like always for Eddward, feel hurt and weak, or angry and strong. The first will disgust the Pumpkin but it was what he was feeling deep inside no matter what, and the second… And the second never worked and was the reason of why he was in that situation. He was silent a moment, the lights went off and the movie was about to start.

"Just take your damn food and shut up." Eddward looked away, he was really pissed off and the only thing he wanted was to control himself to not punch the Pumpkin in the face. Kevin took the food hesitantly. Some minutes passed and then Kevin asked.

"What about you?" His voice was softer and more relaxed, it took Eddward by surprise.

"What about me?" Eddward asked astonished but still pissed.

"You didn't buy food for yourself "

" I wasn't hungry. Besides, why do you care?" Eddward wasn't in the mood, the date was awful and he didn't know what to do to change it.

"Well, if you want we can share. " Kevin realized that maybe he was being a little harsh with Eddward, after all he was behaving good in general, he was controlling himself even after all he said but… Still, it was difficult just to forget the past. At least he could try to not be a total jerk, not if the other was trying his best to being nice.

Even in the dark, Kevin could see Eddward sincerely smiling at him and a little more relaxed than before. Maybe he just needed kindness to be kind.

"Thanks " was the only thing he said. Then they just saw the movie in peace.

Things were going well. They started to chat a little in whispers, they started to laugh and being more comfortable around the other. Of course Kevin was still defensive but he was being nice. Eddward on the other hand was happier every moment. He moved closer to the Pumpkin at any opportunity.

At the middle of the movie Eddward was so close to Kevin that he was starting to feel uncomfortable, specially because Eddward was all cocky and annoying again. Give him a hand and he takes all your arm. But how to put a limit now? Maybe he won't hit him but Kevin was feeling that a 'move' was coming and… He really really REALLY didn't want it. He was passing a decent time, that was true but that didn't mean that suddenly he was in love or something, still somehow it seemed that Eddward was thinking that he was allowed to proceed just because they laughed and had an actual conversation.

Eddward did it. He passed his arm around his neck. Kevin froze and tried to take it off.

"Oh come on, Pumpkin, don't play hard to get, just relax and let it happen " was Eddward's words while tightening the hug. Again that annoying attitude. And he dared to get closer to his face?!

"Get off me" Kevin was pissed off, he knew he shouldn't have trusted him.

Eddward wasn't listening, he got so far and this was his chance. When the Pumpkin stayed still for a moment he tried to kiss him but he was stopped abruptly by a punch in his stomach, it wasn't a strong one but it took his breath away. And all the struggle somehow ended throwing the soda over Kevin.

"Great. Enough!" Kevin stood up and went to the bathroom to clean himself. Obviously he didn't plan to back, he was more than furious. He didn't know how they managed to not annoy the other people there, but of course, they were side by side with other couples who were minding their own business not paying attention to the movie.

Eddward stayed there a couple of minutes really annoyed of what just happened. Kevin was really difficult and now He was the offended one, he invited him to the movies, buy all his food, behave nice all the time, Kevin was an ungrateful one, he at least deserved a kiss! And he won't let him go away without receiving it.

It was a nightmare. Somehow deep inside Kevin hoped that this date ended without any incident, that maybe they could say goodbye like friends or something, but actually he already knew that something like before would happen, because that's how Eddward was. At least he didn't end injured. He looked himself in the mirror of the bathroom, what was he doing? All this date and Eddward loving him felt so unrreal and from the beginning something was yelling at him to not come.

Kevin heard someone running to the bathrooms where he was. It wasn't his date but soon he will realize that it was someone that he would rather not see that moment if asked.

Eddward wouldn't let Kevin to escape so he went to the bathrooms after some minutes of regain his patience and coolness. The best was go and try to talk with him calmly and rationally, express his feelings in a civilized manner and seduce him properly. He was aware that maybe he went too fast.

Eddward was decided to go and start again but when he arrived to the bathrooms he saw something that froze him right there. Kevin was kissing another boy, a boy that looked like him but smaller somehow, thin and nerdier. He even had the same beanie as him! Eddward stayed outside but still was able to see them without being seen.

"Double D?! Where are you cutie pie?!" A female voice yelled from somewhere close. Immediately the teens broke their kiss.

"I'm sorry, I have to go. I'll see you later, Kevin." Said Eddward's doppelgänger. His voice was soft and sweeter than his, although it was a little agitated. Kevin didn't say anything, he looked a little lost. Eddward was ready to confront his doppelgänger when he decided to leave but to his surprise he used a window to go out. Kevin stayed there with a blush in his face. Eddward was more than furious.

"How dare you, you little bitch?!" Kevin knew Eddward saw the kiss, and he knew that Eddward was angrier than ever. Things were going to be ugly.

"Eddy, go and check if your little friend is on the bathrooms. I'm tired of hearing the yelling of Marie, I want to eat something before the movies."

"He didn't want to come, I wouldn't be surprised if he run away. And I don't blame him." Eddy said while glaring disgusted at Marie. Lee just smiled at him, she was so tired of that situation as he was. They both were dating for a long time now, and for everyone's surprise it was Eddy who asked her out at the end. Shortly after that Ed and May started to hang out together and finally they fell in love. Double D and Marie were another story, Double D HATED Marie to no end, but Marie didn't give up and was still after him. He was under pressure from all sides to be with her but he wasn't interested at all. Marie became more and more annoying everyday. Eddy felt guilty but he didn't know what to do, he didn't want to leave him alone.

For his luck a new neighbor came to the cul-de-sac and get along with Double D really good and fast, they had same interests and stuff, and even if it was the new brother of Kevin and had the same name he was happy that Double D had found a new friend, get him together with Marie was not a necessity now. Everything was perfect a week ago, but something happened, little Kevin did something terrible and there were ambulances and everything. And even though they knew later that it was a bully's fault, that casually Eddy saw that night from his house, still Double D felt guilty for some reason and he stayed away from little Kevin as if they have had a fight. He ended alone again so that's why they were trying to have a date all together to cheer him up.

When he entered to the bathroom to check he was shocked to find little Kevin being beaten up by an ugly copy of his friend, but he immediately recognized him, it was the bully of that night!

"Leave him!" And his first instinct was to jump over the bully without thinking. This made Eddward to free Kevin a brief moment in which he run away as fast as he could. Eddward was furious and he managed to punch Eddy and ran after Kevin. They both were really fast. Eddy ran after them but when he was out he could only see the action from the distance.

Little Kevin was running to the exit where a policeman was. The place was full of people that Kevin was avoiding but Eddward was just pushing them away. Eddward was about to catch little Kevin when from nowhere big Kevin appeared and tackled Eddward away. Big Kevin started to hit Eddward like a machine, Eddward was taken by surprise and couldn't defend himself properly. The people screamed and the policeman came to try to separate them but he couldn't alone, big Kevin was over Eddward who was now trying to respond but was failing miserably.

It took two other policemen and the assistance of little Kevin to separate them. They tried to arrest big Kevin but Eddy run to his defense. Like all of them were minors they decided to call their parents to resolve this.

"I swear I'm gonna kill him" whispered big Kevin while cleaning a wound on the face of his brother with a first aid kit that the personal gave them while they waited their parents resolve the problem. Eddward was there too but in the other corner of the room, hearing them but not saying a word, he was healing his own wounds too.

"It was my fault. I shouldn't have trusted him." Admitted little Kevin. Eddward was still mad and those words offended him a little but he did nothing, big Kevin was there and by this point he learned to not mess with him.

"What happened anyway?" Asked big Kevin still furious but healing his brother with care.

"It doesn't matter now, I don't want to talk about it."

"We were on a date." Eddward talked, he was really mad at Kevin and wanted to tell him some words.

"You shut the fuck up!" But an order of big Kevin stopped him immediately. A cold glare warned Eddward and then big Kevin back to his brother. " Wtf? A date, Kev? With him?! Explain yourself!" Big Kevin was shocked and angry, how stupid could've been his brother?

"He begged me for a date. I didn't want to come, I wasn't coming but he promised me to leave me alone forever if I accepted to have a date." Little Kevin was annoyed, he didn't want to talk about this.

"You should have told me. Why you lied to me?"

" I thought I could deal with this by my own. Everything was fine until… until he didn't respect my rule of not touching."

"He touched you?! And he hit you because you refused?!" Big Kevin was about to go and beat Eddward once again. Eddward could feel the danger and stopped what he was doing in case he needed to defend himself or run, he couldn't help but started to talk again.

"w-wait a minute! It wasn't like that. I was about to apologize when I found him kissing with other! That was rude, We were on a Date!" Eddward tried to justify himself but he knew that what he did was unjustified. For his luck big Kevin heard him and wanted to know more before doing anything but still he talked to him to warn him again.

"Hey! It's the last time, one word more and you'll regret it. Understood?!" Eddward just looked away, those eyes were too intimidating and of course he didn't dare to even answer. "I said, understood?!" Big Kevin was proving him, Eddward just nodded without making eye contact. Big Kevin continued to talk with his brother. "Well? Who you were kissing?"

"No one. It's not your business." Little Kevin looked away too but because he felt his face red.

"Double D was his name?" Eddward really couldn't help himself, he realized that very moment his mistake and was about to run but big Kevin didn't move a bit.

"Double D, Kev? You were kissing Double D?" The expression of big Kevin changed radically. He was upset, angry but… now with his brother, and it was a different kind of angry. Eddward was grateful that suddenly he decided to ignore him, but he knew that he touched a special point and realized that instant what was going on, and the funny thing is that little Kevin didn't have a clue, he actually didn't note the change, he was in his own world.

"I… I didn't kiss him. …He kissed me. I… I was in shock and I couldn't do anything, I didn't kiss him back or push him away. He left before I could react at all. The next thing I knew was that he was there the whole time and came to beat me up. Luckily Eddy came in time and helped me to escape, I guess he was searching Double D because he escaped from his date or something like that. To be honest I didn't expect to see him there and I'm not sure of what happened in that bathroom but… I shouldn't have come at all, I'm sorry!" Damn! There he was again, using his puppy eyes without knowing! Eddward couldn't resist them and now he could see that big Kevin was melting just like him! It was his weakness too! Big Kevin changed again, he was still upset but not with his brother anymore, actually he regretted being upset at him ever.

"Oh honey, I don't know what you were saying but nothing is your fault." Their mother appeared from the door followed by their father. For a moment big Kevin thought that he was in trouble but then he noted that both of his parents were looking at him with pride. After all he defended his brother with such passion that both of them were impressed and proud. "We talked with the police and the manager and explained the situation. And like you didn't destroy anything or hurt anyone else they accepted to not present charges against you, after all you were defending your brother from a previous attack and a possible next one, Eddy and his lovely girlfriend testified that. So don't worry, okay son?" His mother explained sweetly.

"We are so proud of you, son." Reaffirmed his father. Big Kevin just smiled and little Kevin was relieved.

"What about him? He's free of charges too?" Asked big Kevin and Eddward could feel the hate and anger in his voice. Eddward knew that he was in troubles, big troubles. It wasn't a boy or two, it was whole family hating him and wanting to punish him for everything.

"Well, the police said that if we want to present charges against him we c-"

"I don't want." Little Kevin was the one who said that and everyone was wordless. Eddward was the one that was more surprised and shocked. "Look, I don't… want to see him anymore. I feel part responsible for all of this and the best I can do it's just… not provoke more hate or situations where I'm forced to him again."

No matter his reasons, Eddward was really grateful with little Kevin. He wanted to still be mad at him but after that he really couldn't. He had the opportunity and all the reasons to do something that no one dared or could do: get him in troubles, in real BIG troubles, not only with his parents but with the police too… and he simply forgave him for no reason!

When the family was about to leave, Eddward stopped little Kevin to talk with him, to thank him and apologize. But before he could say anything big Kevin interrupted him and cornered him against the wall.

"Kevin!" Protested little Kevin, but his brother wouldn't let go his hands off from Eddward's t-shirt. Big Kevin was looking Eddward so intense that it felt like he was looking his soul.

"You touch my brother one more time…"

"He won't. He's not that stupid." Assured little Kevin. "Let him go. I want to talk with him." Big Kevin wasn't sure but he obeyed anyway, still he didn't move or break eye contact. Little Kevin sighed. "In private."

Big Kevin broke eye contact just to see incredulous to his brother. Eddward could breathe out all the air he didn't know he was retaining, he looked at the floor and squinted at both brothers while they were talking.

"you sure?"

"Yes, I got this. You can go." Answered little Kevin getting impatient.

"m'kay. I'll be waiting ya outside." Said finally big Kevin and went outside, not without giving Eddward another warning glance. When the door closed behind big Kevin, Eddward and little Kevin were once again alone.

None of them said a word at first. The Pumpkin could be not related by blood to big Kevin but he also had this intense eyes that forced Eddward to look away, or maybe he was just too ashamed of everything to dare to look at him at the eyes.

"I'm really REALLY sorry for… everything, Pumpkin" said Eddward barely daring to look at him. Kevin rolled his eyes and tried not to lose his patience. He was curious about something but he also was hating Eddward for EVERYTHING and those words didn't mean anything for him right now.

"Good, you should." Answered coldly. That attitude always made Eddward forget everything and be the arrogant one he used to be all the time. Eddward changed and once again was about to be a jerk. But Kevin continued. "But still, I guess I owe you something. After all you were right, we were on a date and... I was having a good time until... well, actually I don't think you deserve this but... Agghh!"

"Just say what you have to say." Eddward was impatient now not knowing what to feel or expect. Kevin took a moment to take a deep breath.

"Kiss me"


A/N: this was kind of planned but, I don't know, it always takes an unexpected direction, I like it... and sometimes I... I'm sorry. Again, any mistake please point it out so I can fix it and learn more. Hope you like it.
