A/N: Prompt for this one was for Edd and Eddy's first kiss (not counting the forced one from "Your Ed Here"). Based off my personal favorite idea that it would be something they both do without thinking about it and featuring Ed as a shipper on deck.

Eddy and Double Dee rushed down the hallway to their adjacent lockers back-to-back, necks craning every which way and eyes peeled. Once they'd made it, both of them pounced on their locks.

"I hate to avoid him," Double Dee said in a fretful murmur, still looking around as he effortlessly spun in his combination. "I just don't know what's gotten into him–"

"Yeah, yeah, I know," said Eddy, struggling with his own lock. He'd just sucked in a breath to scream when Double Dee, already finished up, reached to open it for him. "Until we can get whatever's into him out–"

He cut himself off with sharp inhale, this one held. Double Dee froze, tipping his head to listen for the low chuckle that had caught both of their attention. Neither heard it again and a look around revealed nothing; they shared a glance and shrugged. Their shoulders hadn't come down yet when Double Dee felt a sharp impact at the base of his neck, startling him forward– right into Eddy's arms.

Breath was sucked fast between teeth as they stared directly into each other's eyes. It was let out in unison, both of them turning to shout, "Ed!"

Leaning around a corner with a straw clearly in hand, Ed dropped his goofy grin and contrived to look innocent, pointing at himself as though maybe they were angry at another Ed.

"I've had just about enough of this tomfoolery, mister," Double Dee snapped, straightening up and side-stepping quickly out of Eddy's personal space. He brushed at invisible lint on his sweater to hide the inexplicable shaking of his hands.

"Seriously, Ed, what gives?" Eddy demanded.

"I cannot imagine what you might mean," Ed claimed, all puppy eyes.

The warning bell rang before either of them could argue. Shooting Ed a dirty look, Eddy scooped Double Dee's forgotten books from the floor to hand back. Double Dee smiled and thanked him as he reached to fix Eddy's hair, mussed from their collision. They both leaned in for a quick peck on the lips before turning to go their separate ways.

It wasn't until they heard Ed's squealing that they realized what they'd done. Jaws dropped, they spun to stare at each other with wide eyes. Their bodies both were overcome by heat as everything they thought they knew went up in flames. In the background, Ed danced gleefully in the ashes.
