Hello!~ Please bare with me on these chapters, they are rather long and my proof reading is really bad.
Kevin's POV
Kevin and Edd were walking towards the front of the school 10 minutes after Kevin dove into pool. Kevin felt embarrassed to act so quickly, however he got to wear Edd's shirt. Kevin blushed and hugged himself, it was rather large on him. The sleeved went past his arms easily, and it came hallway between his knees and waist. Kevin didn't understand why Double D let him wear a shirt two sizes too big. But Kevin didn't mind, it smelled like Edd and it made Kevin smile. Double D also lent him some sweat pants that Kevin had to tighten so they wouldn't fall off. Double D found a plastic bag and folded them neatly inside as he carried them.
They walked outside and saw how dark it had gotten. The missed the sunset, he looked to Edd who didn't seem fazed by it. Kevin silently sighed in relief while also staying skeptical. Kevin began to walk home when a hand yanked him back to the school. Edd was standing next to a black 2010 Mazda, he pushed a button on a chain and the car instantly turned on. Kevin was enthralled, he had a secret love cars*. Edd looked back at Kevin, who couldn't stop staring.
Edd chuckled, "I'm sure which you're more captivated with, me or my new car." Absorbed with the car, Edd's words brought him back to life, and he instantly began to blush. Edd was grinning and Kevin flushed.
"Give you a ride?" Edd pointed to his car, and smirked. Kevin frowned, like he had a choice. Though Kevin wasn't objecting, he was happy to get a ride from Edd. Kevin nodded and found his way to the passenger side. Edd placed his duffle bag and the bag of Kevin's wet clothes in the back seat. Edd hand labelled basically everything in his car, from the mirrors to the wheel and buttons. Kevin always wondered why Edd was very particular and precise when it came to this. Kevin reminded himself to ask about it later.
Edd pulled out of the parking lot smoothly. As expected he was the best driver Kevin had been with. Stopping at every stop sign, blinker at every turn, and the perfect speed. Kevin chuckled silently to himself. Edd's personality did not fit his image, though Kevin didn't mind at all. Then a thought occurred to Kevin.
"Double D…when did you get your car…?" Kevin felt a little guilty about not remembering Edd's birthday. Kevin figured Edd didn't get his car until he was 16, however Edd seemed normal.
"Roughly a week following the night at school together." Edd glanced at Kevin, which made Kevin blush, thinking about kissing Edd. Edd only chuckled, and hesitated at a stop sign. Kevin knew Edd liked to wait for 3 seconds before going, but Edd had been stopped for a while longer.
"Make it up to me? For missing my birthday." Edd laughed as he spoke and Kevin looked at him. Edd looked the same, but Kevin felt himself flush.
"H-how?" Edd smirked and leaned closer to Kevin, "have I mentioned how unequivocally adorable you are when you're flustered?" Edd smirked at him and Kevin's face enflamed. Kevin slapped his face to hide his embarrassment, when Edd began to laugh. Kevin stopped, and looked at Double D through his fingers. His face dropped, Edd was actually laughing, like…laughing. Seeing and hearing Edd laughing like he was now was extremely rare. It was frequent as Double D getting a F.
Edd continued to laugh as he put his blinker on and pulled out of the neighborhood. Edd gradually stopped laughing and turned to Kevin, "Two things." Edd seemed more of himself, however he still had a smile on his face.
"One, tell anyone, even Nazz and Nat about me laughing like that, and I will kill you." Kevin swallowed and turned forward. He didn't actually think Edd would kill him, but he knew how upset he would be. Pissing off Double D was NEVER a good idea. Kevin piped out a 'yes' and relaxed.
"Two, you are WAY too cute for your own good." Edd chuckled and continued to drive on. Kevin watched as Edd headed to the city. Confused Kevin looked back to Edd. He looked much more like himself. His expression blank, sock hate just over his eyes, relaxed yet tense, as if always ready for action.
Double D caught his puzzled expression, "what are you hungry for?"
Kevin then comprehended what Edd had in mind, "a-anything is fine with me." Edd raised an eye brow and Kevin's heart fluttered, "C-Chinese sounds good." Edd nodded and smiled at Kevin's answer. Kevin didn't exactly know what to say, he just felt so flustered. Kevin looked at his face in the mirror, his face was entirely red, and his freckles weren't making it any better. He grimaced and tugged at his cheeks.
Edd laughed while he pulled into a parking, "by all means carry on, friction on your cheeks will simply add to the crimson."
Kevin stopped suddenly, his eyebrows knit together. He was smarter than that, why was he being so dumb? He looked up at Double D who parked the car and got out of his side. Kevin could feel how flustered he got around Edd, but he didn't think it would go that far. Kevin pushed the thought away and reached for the door when it began to open. Double D had opened the door for him and smirked at Kevin who stood.
"Thank you Edd." Kevin tried to look as calm and collected as Double D. However, a shiver crawled up his spine and his face burst into red when Edd planted his lips near Kevin's ear, "You are very welcome pumpkin~". Edd chuckled and began walking to the restaurant Edd had chosen. Being cool and collect with Edd was probably the most impossible thing Kevin had done. Kevin gathered himself and quickly took his place next to Edd. Kevin went to reach for the door when a hand stopped him. Double D was looking down at him, he looked pretty serious, until he leaned closer to Kevin and grinned. "Consider this a date pumpkin~". Kevin just about passed out from Double D's words. Kevin's nerves suddenly shot through the roof, he had never been on a date before. Hell his first kiss was with Edd!
Double D chuckled and open the door for Kevin, "Am I that daunting?"
Kevin looked at Edd and shook his head furiously, eyes shut while he walked through into the restaurant. The room smelled absolutely delectable and Kevin's nerves began to calm down. A girl showed Edd and Kevin to a table and took their drink order. She was Asian, however her English accent was very good. Kevin and Edd looked through their menus and Edd put his down almost as soon as he picked it up. He pulled Kevin's down and placed it on the table.
"Get this," Edd pointed to sweet and sour chicken platter and Kevin stared at it. It looked mouth-watering. Kevin looked back up at Edd who smiled. Kevin wondered how Edd could always be so relaxed. He had hardly ever seen Edd really upset and mad. He had seen him act different when they kissed at the pool and on the roof.
At the thought Kevin's nerves picked up again and he blushed again. Edd laughed and sat back in the booth, "if it benefits you any, this is a first for me as well." Kevin looked at him. Edd didn't smile, he looked as he always did, bored yet content. Kevin thought of that, trying to differ what Edd had meant.
Coming up blank he looked at Edd for help. Edd raised an eye brow to him, chuckled, "a date dork." Kevin's face turn bloodshot. Edd had to be screwing with him. Edd had girlfriends before, he had to take them on dates before. And even still, Edd had more experience than Kevin. Kevin didn't know if he should be upset and not believe Edd, or relax and trust Double D. Kevin was unsure until he leaned closer to Edd, doubting his eyes. No…his eyes weren't tricking him, Double D was blushing! It was extremely faint, but it was there, Kevin could see it.
Edd looked at him surprised before returning to his original form. He leaned closer to Kevin and smirked, "can I assist you pumpkin?~" Kevin notice how close he got and quickly pulled away.
"I-I just saw you blushing, I'm sorry." Kevin couldn't look at Double D, he thought Edd would get mad at him. Edd didn't speak for a long time and the silence started to get awkward.
Quietly, Edd spoke, "you weren't exactly supposed to see that." Kevin peaked up and saw Double D looking away with a hand over his mouth. His face was even redder now. Double D turned to him, "and now that you saw I have to kill you."
Kevin blanched and flinched back, until Edd's menacing expression into a grin. Their waitress returned with their drinks then, and took their orders. She bowed and left them alone once again. The restaurant was dimly lit and it hurt Kevin's eyes. His eyes weren't horrible but they weren't the best. Kevin rubbed his eyes and did his best to continue a normal conversation with Edd.
"Double D, you used to have girlfriends…didn't you take them out on dates?" Kevin set his glasses back on his face and looked back at Double D. He was relaxed against the booth and steady. He shrugged, "not really, all my girlfriends wanted to go out, but I always refused. I liked staying out of the public eye." Edd wasn't looking him, he was gazing off somewhere else. He seemed to be in deep thought.
Kevin thought about that. All the girls Edd had dated were only with him for a month before Double D broke it off with them. Kevin didn't think the pieces quite fit. However, he didn't exactly know how dating worked entirely, so he let it slide. But Kevin thought of one more thing.
"Double D…if homecoming isn't your thing, why did you agree to go with me?" Kevin did his best to look at him when he spoke. He was astonished he didn't stutter. Edd blinked and looked at him for a while before smirking, "you're too cute to reject". Kevin's heart flipped and he took his cap off his head and covered his face. Kevin kept his face covered until he felt a hand reach out and remove it from his face. He looked up right as Edd kissed him. Kevin's heart stopped, stunned. His face erupted in red. HE'S KISSING ME IN PUBLIC HOLY SHIT WHAT DO I DO?! His lips were still soft and warm, it had been a while since Kevin felt Edd's lips, his heart pounded against his chest.
Edd pulled away and looked at Kevin. Kevin imagined just how flustered and dazed he looked. He tried to fix his expression, but Double D only smiled at him. Kevin watched Edd stay in his place. Edd adverted his eyes to Kevin's left, Kevin followed his gaze and he stopped. There were three girls sitting next to them looking stunned and confused. Kevin's already red face didn't get much better as he realized the girls had witnessed their kiss. Edd looked at Kevin and grinned, Kevin could tell he did that on purpose, and took his cap from Edd's hands, placing it back on his head.
Edd leaned back in the booth, a smirk tattooed across his face. Their waitress returned with their food. Edd began to devour his food and Kevin tried not to laugh. About half way through, Kevin remembered why they came in the first place. He put his hands out to and gestured for Edd to stop eat. Puzzled, Edd did and watched Kevin intently. Kevin looked around for a second, then blushed.
"Gimme one second please." Kevin stood and walked over to the front counter. The women looked at him and smiled,
"Excuse me do you have a small candle, or a lighter of some sort. It's my friend's birthday and"
She grinned at him and looked around her area before producing a small birthday candle. He also handed him a lighter so he could light it.
He smiled at her and thanked her while walking back to the table. Edd watched him sit, he looked a bit upset but Kevin could only smile. He looked at Edd who eyed him curiously. Kevin frowned, "close your eyes"
Edd looked a bit stunned for a bit before grinning and closing his eyes. Kevin held the candle in his left hand while using the lighter in his right hand to produce a flame. The candle caught a small flame and Kevin placed the lighter on the table and looked back up at Edd. His face looked very confused and Kevin giggled.
"You can open them now." Edd opened his eyes and stared at Kevin holding the small candle. Kevin knew he was blushing but he wanted to do this for Edd so he ignored it. Kevin smiled, "Happy belated birthday." Edd stared at him for the longest time before blowing the candle out. Edd moved swiftly. He placed two $20 on the table took Kevin by the wrist. They passed the counter, "keep the change," Edd sounded really anxious and Kevin immediately regretted what he had done. He made Edd mad.
The burst through the door and Edd pressed Kevin against his car. Kevin's heart slammed against his chest as Edd compressed his body on Kevin's, and his lips were flattened against his. Kevin shut his eyes as he felt Edd pushing against him. Double D's strength doubled his own, and Kevin was stuck against the car. Edd had Kevin's arms pinned and his mouth was overpowering him. Kevin couldn't help but move with Double D's movements. Double D would open his mouth wide and Kevin would mimic, until he gave into Edd.
Double D sighed heavily and took over Kevin's mouth. Kevin felt his legs give out, but Edd's arm wrapped around his waist and kept him up. He tasted heavenly, Kevin didn't want to pull away. Edd's lips felt so much softer, and his mouth was hot and full of desire. His tongue travelled throughout Kevin's mouth, stroking against Kevin's tongue in a mixture of craving and need. The intensity Kevin felt from Double D was compelling. It almost felt like their kiss at the pool, however Edd seemed much more…forceful. Like he needed to kiss Kevin, he was demanding it.
Finally Edd let go and breathed in so much air, Kevin thought Edd stopped breathing while they were kissing. Kevin's, now free hand, laid on Edd's arm, his other arm still chained from Edd's other hand. Double D stood there pressing against him, catching his breath while Kevin's legs were still numb. Kevin's mind was clouded, all he could think about was how much he want to kiss Edd again.
After what seemed like hours, Edd looked at Kevin, his eyes look tired, yet full of energy. Only Double D could pull off an expression that was so contradicting. Edd shut his eyes and placed his forehead against Kevin's gently, "you do this to me. It's not one else, it's just you."
Kevin looked up at Edd, astounded. Double D never really showed interest in anyone. Not exactly romantic or anything, Edd just never really liked people. Edd had his few friends, but it never really seemed like Edd enjoyed their company. Now that Double D admitted to how he felt with Kevin, he seemed like he was going to pass out. Double D, the boy who picked on him for years, made his heart catch on fire, and make his mind so completely jumbled and confused, had just said one of the impractical and affectionate set of words Kevin ever heard.
Edd's eyes steadily opened, and Kevin realized it. Double D was telling him the absolute truth. His eyes were sincere, yet frightened, and he had the slightest blush on his cheeks. Kevin decided not to tell him that anymore, and to just stare at it when he could. Kevin's heart fluttered as he watched Double D. His eyes were so blue, even though they were surrounded by darkness.
Kevin couldn't speak, he was stunned, and lost his voice. He just wanted to stay with Edd all night, he didn't want it to end. But it did; Double D pulled away and helped him in the passenger seat, his legs were still dead. Double D sat in his seat and started the car, Kevin could see how strained he looked. Crushed, Kevin put his hand out, and patted Edd's hands, "Edd, I don't want you to be upset."
Edd looked at him bewildered. After a while Kevin felt him relax, and finally give him the usual Edd smirk he was so used too, "Pumpkin, I'm never upset when I'm with you." Kevin blushed and pulled away, hiding his red face with his cap again. Double D chuckled and pulled out of the parking lot. Kevin kept thinking about the kiss, and every time he did he only clutched his hat tighter to him. After a few minutes, Edd pulled into the cul-de-sac and parked his car in Kevin's driveway while keeping his car on.
He leaned over to look at Kevin, who pushed against the door as Edd crept closer, "Thank you for my birthday evening. It was…unforgettably ineffable." Edd grinned and motioned closer, Kevin shut his eyes as blood pounded in his ear as he heard a small click next to him. Edd had opened the door for him. Kevin look at him, puzzled. Double D noted his expression and watched him until Kevin spoke.
"Why did you take me out in public?" Double D looked shocked and pulled away a fraction, taken aback. Kevin tried to keep a stern and determined face. He had been thinking about that almost all night, and was extremely curious. Edd averted his eyes, thinking. Kevin stopped him, "don't think of an excuse, tell me the truth." Double D looked at him, his face was puzzling, yet content, "I wanted to. I figured you were hungry and tired from diving in the pool and saving me," Edd winked at him and Kevin blushed, "I actually wanted to take you out."
Kevin blinked at him, but figured Edd was being truthful. He nodded happily. Edd relaxed and leaned closer, "I must admit, I had an unsurpassed belated birthday, thanks to you." Kevin blushed again and pulled out of the car, waiting while Edd stared at him, a grinned plastered to his face. Kevin looked confused and Edd laughed. Reaching behind and handing Kevin the bag of his clothes, "You may retain my clothes, they give a much more superior impression on you than myself." Kevin blushed and looked down, realizing he was still wearing Double D's shirt and sweat pants. Edd smirked "Bonsoir citrouille." Kevin, gently closed the door and walked up to his front door. Edd was still there, waiting for him to get inside. Kevin waved and walked inside, he fell to the ground and hugged his knees. He was blushing like mad, and wanted to go back to be with Edd.
He waited a little longer, thinking about the day before standing and headed upstairs. However his mother and father stopped him, "Happy birthday Kevin!" Kevin sighed and looked at his mother, "mom, my birthday isn't until tomorrow." Kevin didn't like to celebrate his birthday very much. Yeah he got attention and presents, it just seemed a bit trivial to him. He was happy to celebrate everyone else's birthday, except his own.
His father stepped forward and Kevin perked up, when his father talked it was important, "Me and your mother got your present a bit early. Would you like to see it?" Kevin looked at them puzzled, every year they got him a present, but it was usually money that Kevin would save or something small. They never made it a big deal like they were right now. His mother smiled and took his arm and lead him through the kitchen. Kevin dropped the bag and followed her, "you have to be careful and if you use it tomorrow you have to wake up early so we can get everything read" His mom was rambling, and she opened the door to the garage and turned on the light.
Kevin stood there stunned, in front of him was a green Yamaha YZF R6 motorcycle in pristine condition. Kevin had his motorcycle permit and had been saving up for a bike. He turned to his parents stunned. His mother held up a finger, you still don't have your license, if you wanna drive it tomorrow you can with me to the DMV tomorrow morning but you need to wake up early tomorrow." Kevin wrapped his arms around his parents, "OH YES! THANK YOU!" They hugged him back and Kevin snapped a picture of his new toy. As he headed upstairs he sent the picture oft to Nat and Nazz, his thumb hesitated on Edd's name, before adding it to the list. Best night Kevin had had in a long time.
Edd's POV
Edd was extremely quiet, he had given Kevin his clothes because his regular ones were soaking wet. They were huge on him it was enticing to see Kevin in his clothes. Kevin's shoulder was showing, and his sweat pants were dragging on the ground. Edd didn't mind at all. Edd couldn't keep his eyes off Kevin, he had to be the cutest feature in Edd's life. Kevin was so small, it made Edd beam. Double D couldn't get over the fact that Kevin was wearing his clothes. They were walking towards the front entrance. Double D had changed into his regular clothes and gave Kevin his extra pair of clothes he brought with him. Double D always kept an extra pair of clothing in his school locker and gym locker, however he didn't think Kevin would be able to pull off Edd's black skinny jeans.
Edd pushed the door open and walked into the dark. Edd had missed the sunset but it didn't upset him that much. It would be there tomorrow. Edd turned towards his new car and noticed Kevin walking in the opposite direction. Edd grinned and pulled him towards his direction. He pulled his car keys from his pocket and unlocked the car with a button. He pushed another one and it started, he glanced at Kevin who had his mouth hanging open.
He chuckled, "I'm sure which you're more captivated with, me or my new car." He saw Kevin come back to life, closing his mouth. Red swept over his face and Edd grinned, he loved being able to make him blush, Kevin flushed
"Give you a ride?" Edd pointed to his car, and smirked. Kevin frowned, and contemplated. Edd knew he was still a new driver, but he didn't think Kevin would object. Kevin then looked up at him and nodded. Kevin strolled to the passenger side while Edd placed the bags in the back seat neatly. Edd knew Kevin would see the labels he had on his car. Edd always had labels on everything. He liked knowing where everything was and where everything went, that's just how he was.
Even though Edd was still knew to driving, he always tried to follow the rules. It was the law; Edd had done some bad things but he never went over the law. When Edd went to buy his Mazda he tried to find one that drove the smoothest and had a high safety rating. The girl he was talking to when he was getting his car seemed taken aback with him. She kept showing him sporty and fast cars, until Double D started to get agitated with her. She realized he wasn't into the 'fast and sporty' stuff and helped him find something more his style. He glanced over to Kevin who was smiling.
"Double D…when did you get your car…?" Kevin looked a bit fluster, almost embarrassed. Edd only smiled.
"Roughly a week following the night at school together." Edd glanced at Kevin, who blushed, Edd chuckled. He could tell exactly what Kevin was thinking, Edd was thinking the same. Kevin had the most perfect lips. Edd was torn from his thought when is stomach growled, he hadn't eaten for 6 hours. He turned to Kevin and figured Kevin was also hungry. Edd stopped at the stop sign the lead to the cul-de-sac unless he turned and headed to the town.
"Make it up to me? For missing my birthday." Edd laughed, he knew Kevin knew he missed his birthday, he figured that's why he asked about his car. Edd was ok with not celebrating it, Edd never celebrated his birthday anyway. Jimmy and Johnny never asked about his birthday anyway.
"H-how?" Kevin blushed, he looked so fluster it made Edd's heart jump. Smirking, he leaned closer to Kevin, "have I mentioned how unequivocally adorable you are when you're flustered?" Kevin's flace burst into a mass of red and he suddenly slapped his face, it rang throughout the car. Edd tried to keep it down but couldn't. He erupted into hysterics at Kevin's actions. Edd hadn't laughed this hard in his life, he started to feel embarrassed but continued anyway. Seeing Kevin acting so childish only added to Double D's feelings.
He continued to laugh as he put his blinker on and pulled out of the neighborhood. Double D hadn't laughed like that, it was hard for him to stop. But he did gradually come to halt, content with how adorable his passenger was. "Two things." Edd's was much more himself, thought he couldn't get rid of his smile, he spoke
"One, tell anyone, even Nazz and Nat about me laughing like that, and I will kill you." Kevin swallowed. Double D couldn't never do such a thing, it was just fun to intimidate him. Plus he didn't want anyone knowing he had laughed like he had. He did trust Kevin, but decided to entertain himself for a while. Kevin quickly squeaked out a yes and Edd relaxed a touch.
"Two, you are WAY too cute for your own good." Edd chuckled and continued to drive on. It was true, everything Kevin did and said, Edd always found himself thinking of how cute he was and how much he wanted to be with him and hug him. Edd was still a little on edge, he was taking Kevin out in public. He never did anything like this, even with his other girlfriends. Edd didn't know, but he wanted to take Kevin out. Edd knew he wanted to be with Kevin, and he was determined to do so. Edd was still tense about everyone finding out, but he felt more confidant with Kevin next to him.
Double D turned and saw Kevin looking puzzled, "what are you hungry for?"
Kevin looked back at him, "a-anything is fine with me." Edd raised an eye brow saw Kevin redden again, "C-Chinese sounds good." Edd nodded and smiled, Thank God I love Chinese. Edd instantly thought of his favorite place. Edd didn't go out much but when he did, he always went there. He caught Kevin tugging at his cheeks and grimace at his red face.
Edd laughed while he pulled into a parking, "by all means carry on, friction on your cheeks will simply add to the crimson."
Kevin stopped suddenly, his eyebrows knit together. Edd laughed at his expression and parked his car. Kevin was still thinking deeply when Edd crawled out of his car. He walked over to the passenger side and opened the door for his nerd. Kevin came back to life as he looked at Kevin smiling.
"Thank you Edd." Kevin sounded and acted tougher than he actually was and Edd's grin stretched to his ears as his mind thought of how to get Kevin back to his cute personality. Edd surged forward and placed his mouth next to Kevin's ears and he felt him shiver, "You are very welcome pumpkin~". Edd saw Kevin's face turned into a rosy mess. He chuckled and began walking to the entrance. He felt Kevin pick up on his pace and stand next to him. Edd smile, Kevin reached for the door and Edd quickly shut it. Kevin looked up at him, frightened. Double D gathered all the courage he could before he spoke; he leaned and grinned. "Consider this a date pumpkin~". Double D watch as Kevin's eyes widen and he stood there rock hard.
Double D chuckled and open the door for Kevin, "Am I that daunting?"
Kevin looked at Edd before shaking his head furiously, he held his eyes shut as he walked into the restaurant. Edd was right behind him when the smell hit his nose. He loved the smell, it was decadent. Edd saw a girl walking towards them, and Edd raised his hand, showing a table for two. She bowed and brought them to a booth next to a window. She took their drink order and left them in peace. Edd quickly found what he always got on the menu and set it down. He never sat down to eat so the experience was different. He always got his meal to go. Edd looked over to Kevin and pulled his menu down.
"Get this," Edd pointed to sweet and sour chicken platter. Edd figured Kevin was a sweet and sour kind of guy, and Kevin's expression told him he was right. Edd smiled as Kevin looked at him. Kevin's expression looked different then, like he was deep in thought until he began to blush. Edd laughed and sat back in the booth, "if it benefits you any, this is a first for me as well." Edd caught himself, he wasn't really planning on telling Kevin that, it was quite embarrassing. Edd didn't smile, he tried to stay relaxed. However, Kevin looked very puzzled, like he was going into it too deep.
Kevin finally raised his eyes to Edd, silently asking for a clue. Edd raised an eye brow to him, chuckled, "a date dork." Kevin's face turn bloodshot and Edd turned away. Not only had he admitted to Kevin it was his first date as well but with Kevin's face added to the equation, Edd could tell he was blushing, though it was minute. Edd looked back and saw Kevin leaning closer to him. Edd was taken aback at how close Kevin was getting to him. Edd smirked then, and decided to continue his game.
Edd returned to his original place and leaned closer to Kevin, "can I assist you pumpkin?~" He saw Kevin realize where he was and quickly jump back. Just then three girls sat next to them, giggling quietly and staring at him. Edd paid them no mind and turned back to Kevin.
"I-I just saw you blushing, I'm sorry." Double D's eyes widen and he turned away, bringing his arm over his face. He was ecstatic to have Kevin looking away, his face was just as bad as Kevin's. Edd's mind was a mess, he couldn't think of anything to tell Kevin. He didn't want to lie to him, but he didn't exactly want to admit to blushing. When the air started feeling awkward Edd quickly thought of something.
Edd spoke quietly, "you weren't exactly supposed to see that." He wasn't trying to talk softly, however he noticed the girls still looking at him. Edd started feeling agitated as he turned to Kevin, "and now that you saw I have to kill you."
Kevin blanched and flinched back. Edd tried to keep his expression as serious as long as he could, however Kevin's face made him grin. Their waitress returned with their drinks then, and took their orders. She bowed and left them alone once again. Edd watched as Kevin rub his eyes. Edd sat back against the booth and stared at him. The only time he had seen Kevin without his glasses was earlier today when Kevin dove into the pool. Kevin was one of the fortunate few that looked good with and without gasses. Edd silently wished he could see him without his glasses again.
"Double D, you used to have girlfriends…didn't you take them out on dates?" Kevin fixed his glass and looked at him. He shrugged, "not really, all my girlfriends wanted to go out, but I always refused. I liked staying out of the public eye." Edd was looking out the window remembering all the fights he had with his ex's. Edd laughed to himself, everyone at school assumed Edd had broken up with his ex's when it was the other way around.** He was always getting dumped because he was a horrible boyfriend. His first girlfriend broke up with him because she was moving so she was the exception.
However, all the others told him how horrible he was to them, and Double D couldn't deny it. He was never good with girls, though he attracted them like a moth to a flame. Double D never understood why that was the case, but he only shrugged at the thought. Then he thought a bit more deeply. He didn't want to treat Kevin like all of his ex's, he wanted to treat him as if Kevin was the most important person in his life. He wanted Kevin to be happy around him. Double D frowned, how exactly was he going to do that?
Kevin glanced at him and spoke, "Double D…if homecoming isn't your thing, why did you agree to go with me?" Double D blinked and stared at him. He was surprised Kevin had asked him something like that. Edd thought for a minute before finding the answer. He smirked, "you're too cute to reject". Kevin flushed and he brought his cap over his face to hide his face. Edd stared at him until his thoughts were interrupted. The girls next to him were talking loudly and when he looked over, they all waved at him and batted their eyes. Edd frowned at them and looked at Kevin's hidden face. Edd beamed and clutched Kevin's cap, and swiftly removed it from his face. Edd quickly leaned forward and kissed him. Right now, Edd wasn't caring what the rest of the customers were think. Edd's heart stopped, that was the first time Edd didn't care about things like that. Edd smiled at the thought and continued with the kiss.
Kevin's lips were the same as ever. Pluperfect, soft, warm, heavenly, and Edd wanted them to be his. Edd hadn't felt Kevin's lips for so long, it was amazing. Edd wanted the kiss to continue but knew he had to pull away. Even though they weren't a typical 'couple', PDA still existed.
Edd pulled away and looked at Kevin. Kevin looked flustered and dazed, and he tried to mold his expression into his normal one. Double D only smiled at him, he liked the flustered and dazed Kevin. Edd realized the giggling next to him stopped. Edd tore away from a blushing boy in front of him and looked at the girls. They looked stunned and confused until the finally realized what had happened. Edd looked back at Kevin and grinned. He liked the idea of people knowing Kevin was his. Well, 'his.' Kevin took his hat back and roughly placed it back on his head.
Edd leaned back in the booth, and smirked. Their waitress returned with their food. Edd couldn't help digging in. He hadn't eaten here in a while and he was starving. After halfway through his meal, Kevin's hands stopped him from eating. Edd looked up, food hanging out of his mouth, he quickly swallowed and looked at Kevin puzzled. Kevin seemed flustered though his expression said otherwise, until he blushed.
"Gimme one second please." Kevin stood and walked over to the front counter. Edd sat back in his booth completely taken aback. The girls next to him began to snicker at him. Edd raised an eyebrow at them and they quickly stopped. Kevin was at the front counter, talking to a women. After a while Kevin returned looking no different
He tried not to look upset, and when Kevin smiled, he eyed him curiously. What are you doing? Kevin frowned, "close your eyes"
Edd was a bit stunned before grinning and closing his eyes. He figured Kevin would give him a kiss, so he complied with him. Edd continued to smile until he heard a familiar crack and a new smell. Edd frowned, he knew that sound and smell. Though he couldn't place the two together, it was extremely familiar to him. He heard Kevin place something on the table and giggle.
Kevin spoke softly, "You can open them now." Edd opened his eyes and froze. Kevin was a single lite candle, a rather small one. Kevin was blushing and smiling as he watched him. "Happy belated birthday." Edd felt his heart thumping against his chest. He never got a birthday cake, let alone a candle. He looked back at Kevin and saw something familiar. Though the fire was small, it covered Kevin's face in light, and it reminded Edd of the time he watched the sunset with him. The light bathed Kevin's face and his eyes reflected the light perfectly. They made his eyes look so green and perfect. If Kevin wanted him to make a wish for something he didn't have, he was going to wish for him. That's all Edd wanted.
Edd blew out the candle and pulled out two $20's from his wallet. He knew he over paid but he didn't care. He grabbed Kevin by the wrist and gently pulled him while anxiously heading to the door. AS they passed the counter, the women was about to stopped him when he held up his hand and pointed to the table, "keep the change," Edd felt on fire, he just wanted to be alone with Kevin as soon as possible.
The burst through the door and Edd pressed Kevin against his car. Edd compressed his body against Kevin's and his hands held Kevin in place. Edd couldn't hold back as he flattened his lips to Kevin's. Edd needed to feel his lips again. He didn't know how long he was going to have with him, they weren't dating, and Kevin wasn't 'his'. That's all Edd wanted, he wanted to be able to look at Kevin and think 'that's mine'. He wanted people look at him and know that Kevin was his. Edd wanted him in every way possible. Double D couldn't help over power Kevin, he just needed him. If Kevin struggled, Edd would have pulled away, but he wasn't, so he only continue with more intensity. Edd moved his mouth to open wide, begging for permission, he was aching for it.
Finally Kevin gave into and opened his lips. Double D sighed heavily Thank you! He swiftly took over Kevin's mouth. Edd had kissed a lot of girls, but none of them gave him the feeling Kevin did. Edd could feel Kevin's legs giving out. He wasn't ready to end this so quickly, Edd wrapped his arm around Kevin's waist and pulled him closer. Edd's hands began to shake, and his body was completely smothered in flames. Kevin's lips were irresistibly supple and they moved with his own mouth perfectly. Kevin's breathe was hot. Edd's tongue moved around with Kevin's. Edd felt like his heart was going to explode, but he couldn't pull away. He was demanding Kevin's attention, he craved it whole heartedly. Kevin worked with him, their tongues mixing together, it was making Double D go crazy.
Edd let go and breathed in, he forgot to breathe. He just stood there against Kevin, catching his breathe. He was still holding Kevin, if Edd had lost his breathe, he figured Kevin's legs were still numb. Only Kevin, it was only Kevin that did this too him. Make him feel so full of energy and life, yet taking his breath away. He didn't know what it was with him, but he didn't care. He just knew he wanted him.
Edd looked at Kevin, he looked puzzled yet utterly perfect. His face was beet red and his lips looked much pinker. HE almost looked frightened. Shit, Edd thought. You freaked him out. Edd shut his eyes and laid his forehead against Kevin's. If he told him the truth, that might help. "You do this to me. It's not one else, it's just you."
Edd kept his eyes closed, but he felt Kevin move his head. Double D couldn't bare to look at him. What if Kevin changed his mind, or he thought of Edd was weird or different? Time stopped then, Double D realized they were outside. People could have easily seen them kissing, even in the dark. But the thing was, Edd didn't seem to care. All he cared about was what Kevin thought. All that mattered was Kevin. Edd grimaced, he screwed up with Kevin, he felt like he only ruined it. The one thing that actually made him feel alive.
Edd's eyes steadily opened, and looked up at Kevin. He wanted to let Kevin know he was sorry for what he did, and that what he said was the absolute truth. Edd was breathing slow as his heart was winning a race. He didn't know what Kevin was going to say, if he was going to say anything. He hoped he did. He didn't care what it was so long as he heard his voice. But it never happened, Kevin never spoke, he just stayed there looking at him astonished. Edd didn't want to give up, he wanted to wait for Kevin to speak.
Nonetheless, Kevin never spoke and barely moved, so he let go. He helped his small nerd into the passenger seat, his legs were probably still frozen. He felt himself tense up as he walked to his side and sit down in his seat. Edd started the car, and sat in his seat, trying to relax. He didn't want the night to turn out like this, he mentally face palmed himself. If he just held back this wouldn't have happened. Edd felt Kevin's hand reach out and grab his own. Edd snapped to attention, looking at Kevin with amazement. Kevin wasn't scared of him and he wasn't upset with hi. Kevin blushed, "Edd, I don't want you to be upset."
Edd's eyes only widened, Kevin didn't want him upset. That meant he cared about him…? He examined his face for a long time. Kevin's expression told him the truth. Kevin was being sincere. Edd relaxed and smirked at him. "Pumpkin, I'm never upset when I'm with you." Kevin blushed and pulled away, hiding his red face with his cap again. Double D chuckled, he would never get tired of seeing Kevin so flustered and embarrassed. He loved seeing him so self-conscience. Edd pulled out of the parking lot. The drove in silence and Double D was ok with that, he knew Kevin was ok, and that's what mattered. Every now and then Kevin would clutch his hat tighter and his face would redden more. Every time he did, Edd smiled. Edd pulled into the cul-de-sac and parked his car in Kevin's driveway, he figured he wouldn't be long.
He leaned over to look at Kevin, leaning closer and closer to him as Kevin pushed against the door. Kevin blushed slightly, and Edd grinned, "Thank you for my birthday evening. It was…unforgettably ineffable." Edd motioned closer as Kevin closed his eyes, face bursting with rouge. Edd purposely got close to his face while his arm reached around and unlocked the door. Kevin opened his eyes and looked at him bewildered, Kevin seemed like he wanted to say something, so Edd waited patiently until Kevin found his voice.
"Why did you take me out in public?" Double D was taken aback. Kevin looked very stern, it was unlike him. Edd felt he had upset him again. He hated doing that to Kevin he wasn't trying to be a bad guy, he was actually trying to be a really good one, and he was failing at it miserably. Edd averted his eyes, Kevin could tell this wasn't exactly his thing, but Edd wasn't ready to tell him how much he meant to him, not yet. Kevin stopped him, "don't think of an excuse, tell me the truth." Double D stared at him, I'm trying, I just don't know how to word it. Edd sighed, finally finding the right words, "I wanted to. I figured you were hungry and tired from diving in the pool and saving me," Edd winked at him and Kevin blushed, "I actually wanted to take you out."
Kevin blinked at him, but nodded happily. Edd relaxed and leaned closer, "I must admit, I had an unsurpassed belated birthday, thanks to you." Kevin blushed again and pulled out of the car. He stood there for a while, Edd couldn't stop staring at him, he was grinning from ear to ear as he eyed Kevin wearing his clothes. Thought they didn't fit Kevin at all, they made him look much smaller and much cuter. Edd stared until he realized he wanted to see him wear them again. Edd laughed, "You may retain my clothes, they give a much more superior impression on you than myself." Kevin blushed and looked down. Edd didn't want the night to end, but he knew it was late for the both of them and they had school tomorrow. Then Edd remembered he had his first swim meet tomorrow, he was going against D.C. Thomas high school. They almost beat Edd last year. Edd looked back at Kevin and smiled. He could never be sad when Kevin was right in front of him looking adorable as ever. "Bonsoir citrouille." Kevin, gently closed the door and walked up to his front door. Edd waited to make sure Kevin got inside safely. Then Kevin waited at his front door. He looked back at Edd and waved, Edd felt his heart surge as Kevin walked inside. Edd felt himself relax 100%, and give out a heavy sigh. Boy he had it bad, he pulled out of the driveway and pulled into his own driveway. He slide inside and fell against the couch.
Edd laughed, he never slept anywhere except his bed, but he felt so tired from his heart pounding so much tonight. He sat there for so long reminiscing on today's events, lingering at the thought of the kiss they shared. His thoughts were then interrupted by his cell phone ringing. Irritated, he looked at the caller I.D. It was Marie; he slide his thumb across the screen and answered the phone, "What Marie?"
"One of the football guys saw you and Kevin together tonight."
Edd shot up, his heart stopped moving all together, and the air in his lungs dissolved. How could they? He figured the night would be just enough to make sure they were hidden. He knew people might see them, but to see details and find out how they were, it seemed far-fetched.
Edd stood, he felt himself shaking, "How do you know?" She paused for a bit before speaking, "The saw you two going into a restaurant," Her voice got quiet and deadly. "They saw you kiss him in the booth!" She hissed.
Edd paced himself, thinking, "I-"
Marie cut him off, "Edd you care about him right?"
Edd paused, of course he did, Kevin was all he thought about, "of course."
"Then you need to prove it. If you ignore what people say tomorrow or deny it Kevin is going to be extremely hurt." Edd listened intently, "if you truly care about him, you'll let him know it. Double D, you're my best friend, and I don't want you to regret anything-"
Edd cut her off, his blood was boiling, "I get that Marie, I know I can't keep this up. A girl asked Kevin to homecoming and he told her the truth, I know what I am more than likely going to face tomorrow. I will see you then." He hung up and threw his phone on the couch. HE could feel himself getting more and more on edge. He stomped up stairs and quickly changed into some sweat pants before walking into the basement. He grabbed his gloves and began his routine, with a bit of a change. As he punched the bag, he began to count to 10, in every language he knew.
After a while, Edd stopped counting and let his mind wonder. He thought back to Kevin, he felt himself relax. Ed chuckled, You do some weird stuff to me pumpkin. Edd remembered tonight, how he felt, what he thought, and how much he didn't want to forget it. Double D gradually slowed until he stopped and sat down. He remembered how much confidence and light Kevin gave to him. Edd knew how many times he told himself he would be able to do anything so long as Kevin was there. Double D smiled, he got that same feeling again, with Kevin next to him, he felt like he could take on the school. Edd clenched his teeth, he wondered why his peers always got to him. He hardly cared about what they thought of him, but know that Edd would be seen as a homosexual, it made him tense.
His mind wandered, and he thought back to his first fight. The middle schoolers were picking on him because he was wearing glasses. Edd was only 10, and his parents weren't there to help out. Edd was alone at that time, and the kids were much bigger than him. He remembered them calling him names and breaking his glasses until he felt himself snap. He had studied the human anatomy, which intrigued him so he researched further into self defense. He was surprised at how well he had done. The 3 older kids had ran off, however Edd's glasses were broken terribly. After a stern note left by his parents, he decided to change to contacts, which were much better for him.
After that the kids left him alone, and that's how he turned into who he was today. There were many more stories and fights he had gotten into, but Edd felt the one he was going to face tomorrow was the biggest one. He thought back to Kevin and smiled. Then his heart dropped, Edd could stand up for himself easily, but Kevin would stand there and let him happen, he didn't know self-defence, he was too small and weak. Edd stood then, realizing what he could do. Edd knew that so long as Kevin was next to him, he could stand-up for himself. But he wasn't going to endure this for himself, he was doing it for Kevin. Kevin was the reason he could face tomorrow.
Edd walked back up the stairs and noticed he had been downstairs for five hours. HE picked up his phone again and noticed quite a few texts. One from Kevin, two from Jimmy and Johnny, along with a four page lecture from Marie. He ignored all of them except Kevin's. He walked up stairs and saw a picture of a green bike precariously leaning on the kick stand. My birthday present! I get to ride it tomorrow! Edd strained a smile, he knew Kevin was ecstatic about his new present, but Double D couldn't help worry. There were many motorcycle accidents a day, and with Kevin's small frame, a small accident wouldn't exactly be kind to him.
Double D turned his phone off before hoping in the shower, he was covered in sweat and he hated the feeling, he always showered after being in the basement. He quickly got out and towel dried his hair. He hated going to sleep with a wet head, so he dried it as best he could before placing a dry towel on his pillow. It felt a bit awkward at first but he soon found himself relax, and drifted off thinking of tomorrow.
Edd nodded and took the note, "Dr. Scott…there is one more thing." Edd hesitated before speaking. It was a bit informal and odd to be asking his school principal about such a matter, but he needed to ask anyway. "There is something I must do today. It does not involve violence, though there is a possibility that such a thing could occur." Dr. Scott seemed more serious, "you plan to…'come out'?" Edd wrinkled his nose. He didn't like the term 'come out', however he needed Dr. Scott on his side, so he nodded. "More or less".
