Peach Creek High School 10:30am
"I can't believe Kevin is half an hour late to practice!? We start at 10am always. What the fuck is he doing!?" One of the football players complained.
"Man this is becoming a habit. I can't stand waiting for his ass." Another complained.
"Chill out guys. Kevin may be a little slow at times but you know he never does it on purpose. He's late for a reason." Mathew said with such ease that the others couldn't argue. He stood along with the others on the sidelines of the football field, fully dressed and ready to practice.
"Yeah we better find out why." The other football players all jeered and agreed.
"Speak of the devil…"
Kevin walked out feeling all the glares, stares and hate directed at him. He didn't take any notice and continued to walk on the field dressed up in his uniform and pads. Holding his helmet in one hand he walked straight ahead with an air of superiority.
"KEVIN! YOUR ASS! HERE! NOW." Mr. G stood in the middle of the field with a clipboard dressed in his signature red sweat suit looking as if he could burst into flames any minute. Others would be intimidated but Kevin continued on unfazed by his angry coach.
As he walked across the field the sun seemed to blaze and shine at full force making Kevin squint a bit. His teammates seemed to group together whispering to each other most likely about Kevin.
"I-I…I just don't know what to do with you Kevin…" Mr. G rubbed his temples as if he could massage all his frustrations away. "I need to give you a punishment since it'll look like I gave your special treatment. So I'm making you stay and clean after practice."
"But Coach I have to go somewhere right after…" Kevin tried to reason only to sadly be cut off.
Damn it. I wanted to get lunch with Edd…He's gotta be lonely in the hospital by himself…
"DON'T. Football should be your #1 priority right now and it seems right now you're straying from what's important…" Mr. G switched from anger to concern in a matter of seconds. "Kevin. What did I tell you? Keep your head straight. URGH I hate to use this saying but keep your head in the game."
"Right Coach…sorry." Kevin held his head down ready to be scolded even more.
"It's alright Kid. I can tell your having a rough time." Mr. G took his right hand and shuffled Kevin's head. "But I want you to tell everyone where you were. You got to own up to your responsibilities as Captain."
"Yes Coach." Kevin held his head up and straightened his back ready to take charge. "EVERYONE GATHER UP!"
Less than a minute later there was a noisy crowd circling kneeling around Kevin. Kevin waited a couple seconds for the noise to die down until he began.
"Okay. I know I'm late but I have a reason. You can either excuse me after hearing my reason or not I don't care. But just know it was way more important than football practice…" Kevin let his words sink in before continuing. "I'm sure you guys have heard about what happened yesterday the Josh Incident well…I was part of it…um I kind of beat the crap out of Josh. Ha. A broken nose, two black eyes, busted lip…you get the jist…I didn't mean too but he was close to seriously injuring a friend of mine…Edd. Some of you may be thinking why the hell would you protect a dork? Well…I like him..."
It was as if everything happened in slow motion. The expressions of the guys in front of him changed numerous times from anger to confusion back to anger to confusion to just being straight up dumbfounded. There were lots of wows, woahs, wtfs and much more surprised noises made. It took a good 10 minutes until Kevin waited till everyone calmed down before he could speak again.
"Now don't fucking go around telling people I'm gay or something because I'm not. I like Edd as a friend. He's…like a brother…so I was late because I was in the hospital with him this morning. So there's my excuse…any questions?"
Everyone was silent for a moment. Then Mathew looking as if he was trying to figure out a math problem raised his hand from among the crowd.
"Okay so you and Edd aren't dating? There are no feelings of love between y'all?"
"WHAT NO? Of course not…" Kevin blushed a little from frustration and embarrassment.
I'm just a friend…for now…
"Oh cool." Mat smiled looking pleased with Kevin's answer.
"Alright…anymore questions?" Kevin waited until he was certain there were none. "I just want to end this by giving advice or a little tip ha…stay away from Edd or you might end up like Josh…or worst…alright let's get to practice!"
Kevin words made everyone shiver with fear. His tone was cold and heartless along with a twisted smile at the end he made everyone remain quiet as they dispersed.
Mathew walked over to Kevin giving him a big hug.
"What the hell man?" Kevin tried to shove the other off yet he didn't use his full strength.
"It just looks like you need a bit of love right now." Mat rubbed his cheek on Kevin's cheek crushing the other.
"Urgh stop man this is gross."
"Hey after practice we need to talk…" Mathew let go making full eye contact with Kevin. He was serious for once.
Hospital Edd's Room 4:30pm
"Goodness me…there is positively nothing to stimulate my brain! I need books, music…for god sakes homework! Something to rid me of this boredom…"
Edd wasn't allowed to move from his bed without the help of another person. He can sit up properly yet that's just about all he could do at the moment. Being so respectful of others he thought it would be trouble for the nurses if he asked for assistance so he stays in bed keeping himself company until Kevin arrived.
I'm pathetic…to think here I am waiting for Kevin to yet again aid me…I'm hopeless…
"Oh dear…what have I become? A child who is incapable of the simplest task? I must be strong and fight this out with my own abilities!"
I'll show Kevin that I am not useless! That I can fend for myself!
Edd look on his right bed stand and saw his phone in plain sight.
"Yes I can entertain myself with the internet and modern technology! I-If only I could reach it…"
Edd being only able to sit up couldn't seem to grab his phone as easily. It was a about a foot away from his fingertips when he reached over to grab it.
"Hang in there! I am capable!" Edd seemed to cheer himself on as he continued to struggle to reach his phone.
-Vibrates- Did you stand there all alone? Oh I can hardly tell what's going on. (Cigarettes Daydreams- Caged the Elephant)
"Oh my! Kevin is calling!" Edd tried even harder to reach but still he was able to close the distance. The song ended indicating that he had missed the phone call.
A moment later Edd's phone screen lit up along with a slight vibration indicating that he had received a text.
"Forgive me for I am weak…" Edd disappointingly went back to lying on his bed in defeat.
"What's up?"
Shocked Edd sat up quickly to see who it was.
"Greetings! Mathew it is a pleasure to see you." Edd smiled.
Mathew came in holding a bouquet of flowers wearing a navy blue button up shirt that seemed to fit perfectly around his physique. His eyes were as golden brown as ever and his plum colored skin seemed to glow from the inside out. Mathew walked in the room with such grace and charm that Edd admired him a bit.
"Oh man. You don't look in the best shape…how have you been doing?" Mathew sat down on the right side of Edd in the empty chair getting comfortable.
"Pain heals over time. I am quite well. The doctor has issued me to be cleared by Monday so I'm healing at a reasonably pace."
"That's great dude! Also these are for you…I didn't know which flowers you would like so I took a bit of everything" Mat handed Edd a variety of flowers from roses to daffodils.
"Peonies are my favorite. They express such exquisite beauty along with a gentle scent that calms one's mind." Edd took the flowers setting them aside to contaminate later.
"…and I thought you would be bored so I brought you a book."
Mathew took the book he hid behind his back and revealed it giving it to Edd.
"The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe! How wonderful!"
"Yeah I remember you read this a couple times and I kind of got a copy for myself."
"Why what do I owe you for this kind treatment?"
"Man you don't owe me anything is it wrong to treat you special?"
"Well um…" Edd blushed not knowing what to say.
"MAT!" Kevin walked through the door panting with sweat dripping down his face. He had specks of dirt on his face and fake grass all over his clothes which made it obvious he just got back from the football field. He wore a black Nike hoodie with the same old ripped up blue jeans and to top it off he wore his signature red baseball cap.
"Kevin! Buddy how are you?" Mat walked up giving a quick hug and a back slap that seemed painful from the skin on skin contact.
"Don't play dumb with me." Kevin whispered low enough so that Edd wouldn't overhear.
"Me? Play dumb." Mat playfully smirked.
Kevin glared at the other. Edd felt as if the two were having a staring contest yet he couldn't sense the tension between the two.
"Chill out man. Sorry Edd it seems I have to go home for today." Mat walked over and took Edd's hand gently giving a kiss. "See you Monday Pumpkin."
"Hurry up and leave!" Kevin shoved Mat roughly until he was out the door. Walking back he had his head down embarrassed. "Hey dork! D-Don't let him do stuff like that to you…"
I didn't even get to kiss you yet wtf…wait…kissing Edd…omg after kissing there is...
"Kevin! Is there an issue with your sweat glands? You seem to be perspiring instantaneously right now…"
"Oh man. Sorry I was uh…I'm hot." Kevin took his hoodie and began stripping it off. As he took the hoodie off of his head it picked up a bit of his shirt revealing his bare stomach. Kevin being the all-around athlete had the most toned, muscular body that could compare to Calvin Klein models.
"Oh dear." Edd started to blush from seeing Kevin's bare skin.
How on earth does one have such a perfect muscle to fat ratio…Of course Kevin would…skin as golden as the sun...hair that perfectly trails down to his…
"Edd you alright? Dude your face is red as a tomato!"
"-cough- Pardon me my mind was clouded with absurd thoughts…"
"What were you thinking about?"
"How on earth does one have such a perfect muscle to fat ratio?" Edd blurted out bluntly not thinking before he said it.
"Uh…I don't know." Kevin's face flushed heating up making him sweat even more. "I suck at eating healthy but I'm really active I guess…"
"I truly envy you Kevin. You're strong, intimidating and resilient while I on the other hand lack any muscular strength or manliness. The only thing people seem to take notice about me is my dorkiness."
"Dude what did I said about degrading yourself like that. Everyone is unique in their own way. Mine so happens to be I kick ass in sports and I have a killer body. Yours is your brains. Dude you are the smartest kid I know. While you're over here talking about how splendid the lessons are and learning and stuff I'm just trying to stay awake in class." Kevin joked. "You are a one of a kind dork. I envy you out of all people. Also who said you're not strong? Everything you've gone through up till now hasn't stopped you from living life to the fullest. You're the strongest person I know. So don't beat yourself up."
Edd at a loss for words couldn't speak, he was truly speechless. His eyes started to water and a smile spread across his face.
"Goodness I'm touched Kevin."
Oh don't smile at me like that…dork it's hitting me right in the heart…I think my heart just skipped a beat…oh god…
"Okay enough of the sappy touchy stuff. Uh I got you some stuff." Kevin brought his backpack onto the bed and started to go through it.
"I got you…some comic books, my favorite spider man ones…um…all your classwork…a new beanie…and a movie we can watch together! I got "The Martian"…" As he spoke he took each item out and spread it across the bed.
"Pardon me Kevin…a beanie?" Edd interrupted him curiously taking the beanie and examining it.
"Uh yeah…I thought since your old one got kinda beat up I-I…bought you a new one…I mean you don't have to wear it…"
Edd drowned out Kevin's nervous chattering to look over the beanie. It was black and simple looking except one little thing, there was a design in the middle. A square patch that portrays the milky way, with the stars sewed in white and other patches sewed in such as the moon, sun and earth but what stood out to Edd was the Jupiter patch right in the middle that seemed to be the main focus of the whole beanie.
"Kevin…This is perfect." Edd hugged the beanie tightly expressing his gratitude through his eyes. "Thank you. Truly I don't deserve such exceptional treatment."
"It's nothing just something I picked up. No biggie." Kevin laughed nervously.
It took me hours to find the perfect one for you…you better love it…
"You certainly can't believe how happy I am to have you as a companion." Edd smiled widely making Kevin's heart skip a beat and cause him to stare in awe for a moment appreciating Edd's smile.
You are so cute…URGH I just want to touch you…hold hands…cuddle…maybe even kiss…but he'd freak out I bet…has he ever dated anyone before?...awe I don't think he has any experience…well I don't either with a guy…I mean it's not any different…is it? I should do some research…
"Kevin may we watch the movie now?"
"OH sure let me get my laptop out." Kevin rummaged through his bag to take his laptop out and started to set it up on Edd's lap. "Scoot over."
"Excuse me?" Edd stunned didn't move.
"Scoot over I want to watch too." Kevin started to climb into the bed getting underneath the same blanket as Edd.
"Wait! You certainly can't just share this bed with me!? It's not sanitary!"
"Shut it dork. I'm clean…enough. It's only until the movies over okay? Please." Kevin made the puppy dog eyes that seemed to sting at Edd's conscious.
"Oh dear…fine but only until the movie is over!"
Kevin noticed that Edd wore the hospital gown so as he entered the bed going underneath the blankets he got a glimpse of Edd's bare legs.
"You're wearing underwear right?"
"How dare you ask such a delicate question? Of course I am wearing undergarments. I am no savage."
"Just checking bro." Kevin joked.
Kevin being the taller of the two had to keep his heads tucked behind his head keeping them from wrapping around Edd's shoulder like some cheesy date move. He maintained a distance of a being at least a foot apart. As the movie dragged on Edd started to nod off rather than being fascinated by the science in the movie he seemed restless. By the end of the movie Edd had fallen asleep leaning against Kevin. Kevin throughout the movie tried to keep his arms above his head couldn't take it any longer and dropped them.
"Please don't get mad at me when you wake up…" Kevin whispered as he wrapped his arm around Edd's shoulder. He set his head on top of Edd's as Edd's head was nuzzled into his neck and shoulder.
"Good night dork."
