I do not own Edd or Kevin. All credits to its respected owners. Also all the stuff in italics can be under the following: character thoughts, time, music, flashbacks or unknown events not mentioned! This took a while but 2000 words! (clap for me) The last chapter was kinda silly but this one will be a little serious. Ok enjoy~
Ch.6
Edd and Kevin left the hospital or more like got kicked out because Kevin was being "disruptive". Edd was cleared to leave but the doctor prescribed some pain killers just in case there was discomfort. Edd felt like he was dreaming. His situation was surreal and it kept him on edge.
The morning was cloudy. A little chilly with a slight wind that blew making your skin shiver and develop goosebumps.
"You're going to love this diner. They have an awesome theme. It's literally out of this world." Kevin winked at Edd. They were walking side by side towards Kevin's truck.
"My word. Kevin this is my first time attending a theme diner! I usually stick to my common areas of eatery. I must say this is exciting!" Edd said with joy.
Kevin didn't dare to make eye contact with the boy. He felt twitter pated.
He's so cute when he's happy. It makes me kind of mad he DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW CU-
"Kevin!" Edd cut him mid-thought. Kevin shook his head trying to get back to reality. Edd waited on the other side of the truck with concern. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine…I was thin…thinking about something." Kevin unlocked the truck. A red Toyota 1998 truck. He got from his dad for his 16th birthday. Starting the engine they were off.
Edd examined the car. He checked the time. 5:45am Oh dear I hope we don't arrive to school late. I am in desperate need of a shower. This car is filthy. This scent is overbearing! It resembles the same scent as the gymnasium?! Edd started to sniff around the car trying to figure out where the smell came from.
I can pick up a slight pleasant scent…it's unique…how…manly… Edd lifted the sweatshirt and smelled it.
"Hey Edd! Dork I've been calling your name this whole time?!" Kevin said irritatingly. "Were you smelling my sweatshirt? Does it smell…sorry."
"No Kevin you're wrong! I was admiring the smell. They say scent is a gateway to one's true essence."
"Oh cool? Is that a good thing?"
"Indeed it is! Your scent reminds me of freshly cleaned laundry. I find your smell to be refreshing and lovely." Edd said sincerity.
God damn it. Can he be anymore sweeter? I can't handle it.
Kevin coughed trying to hide his embarrassment. His face feeling hot.
"Uh…Thanks Edd." Kevin looked at Edd. "Are you comfy? Is it cold?"
"I'm quite alright. No need to be concerned." Edd said showing his gap tooth smile. He looked angelic with his gentle smile.
Edd is dangerous. I can't even focus on driving.
Kevin took his iPhone and handed it to Edd. His iPhone was connected to the car radio system through an aux cord.
"Pick your poison dork."
"Um…my song choices may not be…to your liking…is that alright?"
"Dude just play a song. I doubt I would hate you just because your music choice sucks." Kevin snorted.
"Alright Kevin…um…a little song to calm the nerves. Behold!" Edd tapped the phone. A second later music begins to play.
*Cage The Elephants- "Cigarette Daydreams"
Do do do do do do
You can drive all night
Looking for answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for answers
The song ended with an echo in the car.
"Woah. This was…dope…I mean…soothing." Kevin looked calmer. The calm vibe that filled the car made the two feel laid back.
"I listen to this song when I feel lonely. This song puts me into a state of relaxation." Edd hummed.
"When do you feel lonely?" Kevin face turned serious and the atmosphere shifted.
"Well…Kevin. My parents are absent for long periods of time leaving the house empty and unwelcoming. Since Ed and Eddy moved away I limited myself in…in…interactions. So…so I close myself which results to being alone most of the time. Friends are rare in my case." Edd struggled to speak.
"Why don't you try to make more friends? I don't really see anything bad about you?" Kevin said with confusion. He knew he was hitting a soft spot and he shouldn't push further but he couldn't stop his curiosity.
"I keep my distance to avoid developing attachments. I am witness to heart break…I fear of the pain, the sorrow, the loneliness that comes along with…abandonment. Why the thought of it makes…me…me…fee…feel…feel…feel…" Edd said with a heavy sob. His words becoming smaller and smaller in volume as he spoke. Tears welled up in his eyes. His face distorted into agony.He grabbed his hat covering his face. His hands gripped the hat like a security blanket. Words couldn't describe the emotions that were bottled up inside. The bullying and loneliness he had to experience alone all dropped like a boulder onto his shoulders at that very moment.
Stop. You are pathetic for crying. Kevin doesn't deserve to be troubled with my problems.
Kevin stopped the car putting it into park. They had arrived at the diner.
"Stop. Please don't cry. Stop. STOP." Kevin grabbed Edd into a hug. Letting Edd bury his face into Kevin's chest.
"Don't cry. Anything but tears. I can't deal with tears…its ok I'm here." Kevin whispered. He gently rubbed Edd's back like a mother and her newborn child.
"It's ok. I'm here. It's ok. I'm here." He repeated. Each word soothing Edd.
"K…-sniffs-Kev -sobs-…Kev -sobs-…Kev –sniffs-" Through heavy sobs Edd spoke. Gripping Kevin's back as he squeezed him with his trembling hands. He cried hard and loud letting out all the frustration. With each sob the weight on his shoulder felt lighter.
Kevin and Edd remained that way till Edd's breathing got slower and his sobs got fainter till they were unheard. Kevin lifted Edd's head to see how he was. Edd's eyes were swollen from the crying. He had snot dripping from his nose and puffed cheeks.
"Hahahahaha. You look like a baby." Kevin laughed. He wiped the snot with a tissue. Edd was behaving like a child. He sat still and let him be pampered.
"-sniff- I –sniff- do not!"
They looked at each other. Then at their hands. Kevin and Edd fingers were intertwined.
"Dork. Your hand is cold." Kevin teased making Edd blush but he didn't remove his hand. Edd stared at Kevin. Speaking softly.
"Um…Kevin I-"
GROWWWLLLLL
Edd became flustered. His face went red with embarrassment. Kevin on the other hand burst into laughter.
"That hardly was funny! Kevin please!" Edd wacked Kevin in the arm playfully.
"OK. Ha. Its. Ha. Not. Hahahaha. Funny." Edd smiled. Slowly he started to giggle. Both laughed till their backs hurts.
GROWWLLLL
"Dude I need food. My stomach can practically smell the food." Kevin got out of the car along with Edd.
Edd gasped in surprise. He read the diner's name. Across the galaxy. MAGNIFICENT!
Edd stopped in awe. The diner was decorated brightly with stars and light up planets all along the windows and entry way. There was a rotating solar system installed on top of the diner. The model showed the sun at the center of the diner and the planets rotating around. Edd was impressed at how accurate the rotation speed and design were nothing but perfection. He admired the color of the planets.
"This is HEAVENLY! Kevin! Kevin! Look at the precise tilt of the planets and their rotations! The structure is both systematic and aesthetically appealing!" Edd excitingly said. He jumped with joy pointing. Kevin covered his joyful smile. He's just like a kid.
"You haven't even went inside yet." Kevin led the way.
As they walked in they notice they were standing on the galaxy. The flooring looked like pieces of the galaxy and together you can see the milky way. The lighting fixtures were planets. Each lit with a different color. The waitresses were dressed in white uniforms with galaxy aprons wrapped around their waists. There were pictures all over the wall and the ceiling of space related stuff.
"GOOD MORNING! Where would you like to sit? Pick a planet!" The waitress was enthusiastic. She
"Hey dork where do you want to sit? Mars, Saturn, Jupiter…"
"JUPITER! I would be delighted with Jupiter!" Edd interrupted too excited that it made Kevin jump a little.
"Right this way gentlemen!" The nurse led them to the far left booth. The booth was designed to relate to the planet as close as possible. The seats had a mini Jupiter design. The table was a round table designed to look like Jupiter. On the ceiling was a Jupiter light fixture that spun. Lit with a light beige color with a hint of gray tones.
"Do you want the usual?" The waitress asked Kevin. Kevin sat down on the right side of the booth and Edd sat vertical from him.
"I'll get two and add the special "thing" for him" Kevin ordered.
"Gotcha. I'll be right back with your orders."
Edd looked over every little detail in the diner. This is perfect.
"How do you like it so far?" Kevin smirked.
"Words do not describe my happiness." Edd excitingly examined the light over their heads. "LOOK HOW ACCURATELY THEY ENGINEERED THIS!"
"Dude chill! Ahaha. Why did you pick Jupiter out of all the planets?"
"Jupiter is made primarily of gases. Giving it the name "gas giant". Yet Jupiter's interior is made of rock, metal and hydrogen compounds! The core made up of ice, rock and metals! Besides the point of its contents Jupiter is named after the king of the Roman gods! To Greeks it represented Zeus! All in all Jupiter to me represents strength. My favorite planet." Edd ended sweetly.
"Woah I think I just went through a whole lesson." Kevin teased. "….DUDE! I FIGURED SOMETHING OUT!"
"What would that be…" Kevin interrupted pulling Edd's beanie off his head.
"KEVIN!" Edd lowered his head trying to hide.
"Dork let me see…" Kevin reached across the table. He pushed Edd's hands away and revealed his forehead. Edd had his eyes closed. Oh dear. His face is rather close. I can hear my heartbeat.
"AH! Dude. Your scar looks like Jupiter!" Kevin said with surprise. "Hold still.Let me take a photo."
"Wait. Ke…" –Snap- Kevin took the photo. The photo showed only the top part of Edd's head revealing the scar.
"Look! That's so awesome!" Kevin said. "How did you not notice that?" Kevin gave the phone to Edd to look.
"Oh my! That's extraordinary!" Edd eyes wide with surprise. "Kevin! Do you realize what you've just done?!" Edd had tears welling up in his eyes.
"Oh sorry man…"
"For what! You have single handily shattered my hatred for this scar! Heaven forbid that I resented my appearance but now you have shown me a new sight! A new way of thinking! That's amazing!" Edd teary eyed smiled his gap tooth smile making Kevin blush.
"You're welcome…" Kevin became shy trying to hide his blush with his hand. Edd readjusted his hat back on his head.
"Order up! Here is the Milky Way special (for Edd) and the classic Moon9 for Kevin. Enjoy~"
Milky Way special was a stack of pancakes with cholate powder, chocolate drizzle and blueberries decorated to look like a constellation. Moon 9 was a classic pancake, eggs, sausage and muffin meal.
"How heavenly! Is this the Virgo constellation?!" Edd took a bite. "How sweet." He hummed as he ate.
Kevin watched him silently. Whatever makes you happy dork.
