Their waitress had come and gone with drink orders sensing the tense atmosphere. Edd's arm was thrown around Rave's shoulders. Nat was glaring out the window and Kevin; well, Kevin was attempting to concentrate on the sound of the froth in his drink melting away into the dark liquid.
"Sooooooo..." Nat is the one to break the silence. "How has everybody been?" Edd grunts in response choosing not to grace the boy with any major acknowledgement. "Um ... This is super awkward. Somebody please say something."
Rave growled and opened his mouth only to be cut off by Kevin (who'd glanced up at Nat's pleas). "So, uh, how long have you two..." He trailed off glancing down at his coffee.
"I think you will find that's none of your business Mr. Barr." Edd responded dryly. Kevin shifted awkwardly or, at least, Edd hoped he did. He was too busy dealing with the pain left behind after an elbow was harshly thrust into his side.
"Not cool, bro." Nat grumbled.
"I am not you so-called 'brother', please refrain from calling me that." Edd spat. He received another elbow in the side for that.
"You know, Edd is cranky and getting worse by the minute so … We're just gonna head out." Rave explained practically shoving Edd out of the booth. The two remained at a slightly-rushed-but-still-casual pace until they were within the safety of Edd's car. "What was that?"
"What was what? You seem to say so many things that make no sense. Please refrain from doing so." Edd started his car.
"I mean back there with Kevin! That was the first thing he'd said and you just shot him down!" Rave's hands were flying again. This time in random paths that just so happened to continually near Edd's face.
"Shot him down? I simply stated a fact. It is no one's business, but ours of course, how long we've been pretending to date." The car was filled with Rave's laughter.
"Good God, you are so fuckin' stupid sometimes." He gasped. Edd pulled into his driveway and parked. Rave rolled out of the car and traipsed around it like a madman. "I wanted you to pretend we were dating to get rid of Nat, not to give you an excuse to insult Kevin. You've probably ruined it all now." He crossed the lawns and disappeared behind his front door.
"Ruined what exactly?" Edd was left with no answer.
