It didn't take long for their drinks to be prepared, as it was around 8.00 p.m and the shop was closing soon. The barista's "Double D? Kevin?" rang out through the empty shop, and Kevin had to admit that he loved the way their names sounded together; he couldn't wait for their names to have an "and" between them.
Double D moved to stand up, but Kevin raised his hand.
"Hold up, babe. I got it." Double D flushed at the nickname. "I'm perfectly capable of getting my drink myself, Kevin, but thank you."
"Here you go, dork." He said as he returned with their two drinks. He handed Double D his tea, and he took a sip from his Caramel Macchiato. Shit, it's too hot still. Why did I even get a hot drink? Because I'm hot, that's why.
"Thank you, Kevin. I am most gracious." I'm most gracious for that pretty little face of yours.
"So, you coming to the game on Tuesday?"
"I always do." He smiled. Double D was insane with a camera, and he was assigned to be the sports photographer for the year; taking pictures for the newspaper and the yearbook, or whoever needed them. Dude was boss with a camera, and he took the absolute freshest shots of the team. The guys on the football team took a liking to him, and after the games they would frequently crowd around Double D while he would show them the pictures he took. The guys probably loved looking at pictures of themselves more then they loved playing the game.
"Well…I mean…" Kevin scratched his neck. "Like…would you come…especially for me?"
"As in your special guest, I take it?" Double D smirked.
"Uh, yeah, heh heh. I just… I'd like you to…watch me. Watch me play football, I mean."
"Of course. I would be honored. I can inquire if someone in photography class would be willing to take my place. I'm sure it would be no trouble, as the school's sports photographer is quite an honorable position, and to receive it even for one game would be a dream come true for some students…" Double D rambled on about his Photography III class and the drama that went along with it. Honestly, if you started him on any subject, he could probably go on for days.
As Double D rambled on and on, and on… "Oh, and don't even get me started on the camera that was returned yesterday. I cannot believe how freshmen treat the equipment! Between you and me, I think it was Pamela. Oh, did I tell you about Pamela and the project she turned in? I am quite suspicious that she borrowed her ideas from…"
"That's nice, Double D, but wouldn't it be great if we were boyfriends?"
Double D stopped talking and stared at Kevin. The look on his face was super cute, holy hell. He usually wasn't so forward, but… he wanted to be boyfriends, like, really bad. That's nice, Double D, but wouldn't it be great if we were boyfriends? Yeah, it would be. Plus, he would be waiting for, like, days for Double D to quit talking.
Double D stared at him, mouth agape.
"You choose this one time to be speechless?"
. "You…you would like to be my boyfriend?" Double D finally asked. "I…are you certain? I mean, I am flattered, by I don't believe I am… football player companion material…"
"You saying I'm dumb?"
"What? No, Kevin, I would never imply—"
"I know what you mean. But I don't care. I have a huge crush on you." Double D started to blush, "And apparently, by the absence of hesitation," he could talk smart sometimes, too, "In your voice when you accepted my offer, you have a huge boner for me as well."
"Kevin! We're in public!" Edd stammered. "Furthermore, I just don't know…"
"Don't know what? Are you afraid of what your parents will think?" Kevin crossed his arms. Something was bothering his Double Dork, and he was gonna figure it out.
"Oh, what parents?" Double D said before he could stop himself. He gasped and covered his mouth with his hands. "I didn't say that. You didn't hear me say anything. I never said anything derogatory towards my parents. You did not hear that come out of my mouth."
Kevin shrugged. "It's okay to be angry."
"I…what? Pardon me?"
"I said, it's okay to be angry. How many birthdays have they missed? Christmases? Award ceremonies?"
"Well they have…missed quite a few but…well I assure you it wasn't on purpose, if that's what you're implying. They work hard, and sometimes they simply… do not have time to waste." Double D sighed and started to play with the green straw. Whenever he was feeling doubtful or unsure, Double D would fidget. I can be observational, too.
"Hey. Hey. Hey. You are not a waste, alright? And buying you fancy cars or whatever, that's not a replacement for being there for you when you need them." Kevin reached across the table and took Double D's hand. "You don't have to be alone anymore, okay? I'll always be here for you if you need me." It's a love story, baby just say yes. Shit, where did that come from?
"Thank you, Kevin." Double D's blush deepened. "But my concern wasn't with my…parents… It was with the students at school."
"Aaaand you don't have to worry about them. You're gonna be my boyfriend. Like, mine. Who's dumb enough to mess with me?" Kevin's smugness was showing.
"That's my point, Kevin. Only the most ignorant and abrasive of students would confront you. But, well…as for me…" he looked up to the ceiling. "How do I explain…"
"Are you afraid to be my boyfriend because you're afraid you'll get picked on?"
"Precisely. I hate to be a downer, but…" Kevin held up his hand.
"Answer a question for me; do you want to be my boyfriend?"
Edd blinked. "Well, yes."
"So? That's it. Who cares what other people think? You're Double D. Since when have everyone else's opinions even mattered to you? Just do what you like and fuck everyone else."
Double D chuckled. "I guess you're right… although your reasoning is more vulgar than I would have liked; but I agree with you."
"And anyone who messes with my baby, messes with me. You'll be fine, and I'll make sure of it. The whole team loves you, too, and they'll always protect you no matter what. So I'll ask you again. Wouldn't it be great if we were boyfriends?"
"Exceptionally great, Kevin. I humbly accept your offer. As of 8.12 p.m, on October 2nd, I have officially accepted your invitation to be boyfriends, and we are officially, an item." Double D smiled and held out a hand. "Shall we shake on it?"
Kevin tried to hold back a laugh. "Uh, no? We're boyfriends, you dork. We have to kiss on it." He gave a suggestive smile. He moved his chair so he was sitting next to Double D instead of across from him. "Come 'ere, babe."
"I-i-in public?!"
"In public?" Kevin looked around. "We're the only ones in here."
"The employees?"
"They're talking to themselves about who's gotten into a fight yet and who hasn't. We're fine. But would you feel more comfortable somewhere more…private?"
Double D nodded, shy, as the two boys got up from the table and moved outside to do their thing in Double D's car.
Kevin moved to stroke Edd's face, staring at his slightly parted lips. He started to move in, and gingerly placed his lips upon Double D's. He's waited so long for this moment, and now it was actually happening and holy shit he was kissing the cutest boy he's ever met wow10/10 would recommend
Edd's lips were incredibly soft and sweet; he probably chapsticks his lips like ten times a day. Kevin's rough, chapped lips were sure to surprise the soft, delicate Edd.(although he would probably protest that statement, I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself. I am not a fragile damsel in distress.)
"Kevin…" he heard the boy mutter in response to the soft kisses. "Kevin." Double D said a little harsher as the smaller boy grabbed his collar and pulled him down to meet his lips. Damn girl, getting feisty. I guess Double D has more experience than I thought.
The kisses alternated between harsh and mellow; rough and soft. This took place over fifteen minutes until Double D reached for his drink.
"Well, that was rather…invigorating, don't you think?"
"Hell yeah," Kevin agreed. He took a sip of his own beverage as well, before reeling away. Shit was too cold, and when it's supposed to be hot…well, it's just gross. He took Double D's drink away from him and took a sip.
"Excuse you! That is highly unsanitary, and rather rude to boot!" Double D was pouting. "I wasn't finished!"
"First of all, we just spent like, an hour making out. So your 'unsanitary' claim is bullshit. Plus, I paid for the drink, so it's kinda mine. And third, we're boyfriends now, so what's yours is mine. Check and mate."
Double D huffed. "Well, we'll see about that." He crossed his arms and looked out the window, but then looked back at Kevin. "So, when did you fall unconditionally and irrevocably in love with me, then? If you don't mind me asking."
"Hmm…" Kevin started, sipping on Double D's drink. He picked Edd up and stretched his legs out until he was laying down in the seat. He placed Double D on top of his legs. "Honestly, it was when you first started to tutor me."
"Seriously? You have been harboring feelings for me for that long?"
Kevin smirked. "It's not hard to fall in love with you. Plenty of girls have harbored feelings for you. Anyway, like…yeah. If you're ready for serious story time, I can tell you about it if you like."
"Do tell, Kevin. I'm all ears."
"Right. Well… I started to like you when you started tutoring me. And like, I started to notice that you never gave up on me. Like, ever. Never ever. You would never, ever give up on me, no matter how hopeless I was. Everyone I've ever known has always given up on me at some point, right? Like, my dad, and my mom, and my teammates…did you know that when I was failing Chemistry they already lined up my replacement?" he gave a shallow laugh. "They didn't think I could pass the class. But you, babe, you were the only one to really, like…believe in me, you know? You were the only one that knew I could do something. Even if it was something as dumb and insignificant as Chemistry," Double D gave him a look that could kill and Kevin just smiled and rolled his eyes. "Sorry. Even something as important as Chemistry, you just wouldn't let up. Remember that time I got that D on that test, and I totally lashed out on you? I got mad as hell and I took my dumb feelings out on you. Well you could have walked away right then and said 'I'm done.' But you didn't. You sat me down and just started to go over my shitty test with me. That moment was the moment I knew that I had feelings for you. I mean like, I'm not gonna lie, I always thought you were kinda cute and I always considered us to be friends… but that was the moment I realized that like, holy shit dude, I'm in love. You were the only one to really have faith in me. Everyone else gave up on me, babe, but not you. And you really didn't have a reason to stick with me besides the whole 'gentlemanly polite' thing you got going on. That's why when the school year ended, I didn't want to stop being your friend. I didn't want to let the one good person in my life go." Kevin shrugged. "That's my sappy love story for ya. Maybe T Swift will write a song about us and make us millionaires, I dunno."
"Kevin that was… amazing. I'm afraid I my reasoning behind my romantic feelings are not as…profound as yours."
Kevin shrugged. "S'all good. I'm just a sap. What's your story?"
"Well… I, too, found you attractive in our younger years. But I noticed that you were so…gallant. You're so…oh…" Double D blushed. "Oh, curse these hormones." He took a steadying breath. "You're so…heroic. Your main goal in life seems to be to make people happy. But you don't want to be a people-pleaser, as I am so frequently a victim of. You want to make the world a better place. I recall a memory a few years ago when we were in line for cafeteria food. I, of course, was only in line to accompany Ed, to make sure he got a plate full of the five food groups, and not just buttered toast and gravy. But I digress. It happened to be buttered toast day at school; how peculiar, right? Well, we were right behind you in line and… you reached for the last buttered toast. But I knew that you knew that Ed was right behind you, and even though you could have easily taken the last slice… you hesitated. And you didn't take the last piece, because you knew how much that simple piece of toasted bread would mean to Ed. I knew that you were a good person, regardless of what Eddy would say to poison my mind. You were always nice to everyone in our cul-de-sac; you only reacted when someone, namely Eddy, instigated an attack. You stuck up for Jimmy multiple times this year, even though doing so could damage your reputation. You're a hero, Kevin. And dare I say it; I wished…that you would be my hero. But oh, I would torture myself day in and day out with childish fantasies; the scholarly, unpopular boy and the handsome, popular football star, together? Such a high school trope, if you will, the nerd and the jock. One that seemed like it was never meant to be." He sighed. "Until… you asked me to participate in the little deal you concocted, and I of course was overjoyed, over the moon when you approached me for help in Chemistry." Double D sighed. "And becoming friends…well, that was certainly the best time of my life. Remember what Cheyenne and I were giggling about earlier today?" Kevin nodded. "It was you. She was giggling about you because I told her that I had the biggest infatuation with the most amazing person alive." He sighed once more. "How's that for sappy? Have I stolen the prize for sappiest infatuation story? Never mind Taylor Swift writing a song about you, she has already written several about me." He smirked. "If you can see I'm the one who understands you…" he giggled.
"You're so cute, you know that?" Kevin said as he pulled Double D into a hug. "Yes, Kevin, I have seen my appearance and I am well aware of my adorable stature." Show off.
