Chapter Text
You guys said you weren’t going to make anything obvious, so just,
Keep looking through your locker until he goes away.
Oh, but, you really don’t want to.
You really want to scurry over next to him and just smile at the things he says, maybe get him to discus certain things about his bike, because you love the spark of passion he gets in his eyes when he talks about that dear motorcycle he loves so much.
You don’t want him to hold your hands in the hallways, or kiss you in public, no, that is far too embarrassing, but you would enjoy walking to class with him, sit next to him during lunch, or in class, have him give yo rides home on his motorcycle after school despite how dangerous and nervous it makes you feel.
But, Kevin is right, it would just be too weird if they suddenly started being buddy buddy, and, oh dear, what would Eddy and Ed think? They would certainly hate him for being so interested in their ‘sworn enemy’.
Well, the red head and Eddy have always had the rivalry here, and Kevin was never too found of Ed, though, with you, he never seemed to have too much of a problem with you.
But, but,
What would Kevin’s teammates think?
The news would certainly corrupt the football team’s team work, and you would certainly not want that.
So, you will have to push your selfish needs away, and understand that Kevin is right, its better this way.
“Hey sockhead, listen up.” Your locker is suddenly closed for you, and you are faced with your two closest friends with nearly identical names to yours next to you. “After school we are all meeting at lumpy’s house, I have the most genius scam; we are going to be rich I tell you.” The shortest Edd rubs his greedy hands together, his hungry smirk plastered on his lips.
“Today?” You asked, holding on to the strap of your messenger bag. “I’m terribly sorry Eddy, but I am busy after school today.”
The both of them look at you like you have four different heads in the strangest places extra heads could go. You raise your eyes, wondering why they are so confused with your statement.
“Double Dee has other friends?” Ed scratches at his unibrow, looking down at Eddy who is still staring at you.
“What’d’ya mean your busy? You can’t be busy, this is the best scam of the century here!” Eddy throws his hands up in frustration, his eyes still drilling a whole in you. “What are you ‘busy’ with?”
Oh dear. You had not thought this far ahead. You most certainly can’t say it’s with Kevin, Eddy would absolutely kill you.
“There are, uhm…” You were never very good with coming up with things on the spot, and your face starts to get hotter as Eddy starts to get closer to you, his eyebrow raising more intensely.
“Huh sockhead? What is it? What’s more important than me and Ed? Hm?”
“Well, you see,” You start to back up from Eddy, swallowing a bit thickly before a familiar red head bumps into your shoulder as he is walking by. Eddy’s attention shoots over at Kevin, who looks heavily insulted with you despite the fact that he was the one who ran into you.
“Hey, double dweeb,” The jock snaps at you, giving you a good shove against the lockers. “Watch where you’re going!” He shouts in your face, making your body tense as you think you really did something wrong. Though, the wink he gives you that only you can see reassures you, and Eddy speaks up.
“Hey shovel-chin, you ran into the sockhead, I think it’s you who needs to watch out.” The shortest of the trio shoves his away in between you two, shoving his finger in Kevin’s face.
“Beat it dork-o, I don’t have time for you.” Kevin gives Eddy a simple push at his shoulders, scowling at him before his eyes dart back to you. His eyes linger on you, making you a little anxious before his hands slip in the pocket of his jacket, turning on his heels and walking down the hallway.
“Damn, what a jerk.” Eddy scowls, pushing up his sleeve and clenching his fist.
“Now, now Eddy, Kevin is obviously just a little tense, there is no need for the both of you to quarrel.” You go to put a calming hand on Eddy’s shoulder, but before you can, he turns around to face you sharply, shooting you a bit of a dirty glare.
“Let’s go Ed, we should mess with sockheads other ‘important’ shit.” Eddy spits coldly, before walking the other way with Ed, who is smiling and waving at you as he walks away.
——-
“Sorry ‘bout today, saw you were struggling with an excuse.” Kevin mumbles as he looks over your fridge, which is covered in sticky notes from your parents, one of which is stating how they will not be home until next weekend, and that there is money for food in the cookie jar.
“It’s alright Kevin, it was a very good tactic.” You comment, cracking two eggs at once skillfully into a bowl, which already has oil sugar and flour inside. “Eddy did not question it any further, though that could be because he didn’t talk to me for the rest of the afternoon.” You sigh a bit, adding a few dashes of vanilla.
“That’s cause he’s a little prick,” You hear his footsteps come closer behind you, resting his hip against the counter next to your work space. “If he doesn’t have control over the both of ‘ya dorks, he aint happy.” His fingers start to mess with the few strands of hair that peek out from under your hat, twirling them a bit around his finger.
“Well I don’t think thats true; he’s just not use to the three of us not hanging out.” You try to defend your friend, mixing the ingredients a bit in the bowl.
“You don’t need him man, he’s just holding you back.” The red head’s fingers trail down the back of your neck, and down your back. “I never understood why you were friends with him in the first place.
You stop mixing, looking over at Kevin. “Well. He’s my friend Kevin, we all have been since we were little. Despite having a little issues here and there, the three of us have had more good times than bad.”
“I’m just sayin’ is all.” Kevin goes to stick his finger in the bowl, though before he can scoop anything up with his unwashed hands, you smack his wrist with the spoon. “You could find some better friends.”
“Actually I couldn’t Kevin.” You start to feel a little upset with Kevin, for deliberately teasing your friends in front of you. “Honestly Kevin, it does not matter whether you enjoy the way my friends get certain things accomplished seeing as you are not the one who has to hang out with them. I could as well comment on how barbarian like your football friends carry themselves, and how promiscuous your underclassmen ‘fans’ act around you just the same.”
“What are you getting at Double Dweeb?” He raises his eyebrow at you, removing his hand from your torso.
“I’m saying is, much like that distasteful nickname you have for me, you are acting very childish Kevin.” You can’t make eye contact with him, just continuing to stir in the bowl quickly. “It does not mstter what you think of my friends, seeing as you don’t even socialize with me during school, since what your barbarian like peers think, and how you are viewed by the rest of the school is much more important than your feelings for me.” You stop your self when you notice your voice raising, though you don’t stop mixing.
“Whoa, Doudble Dee, calm down.” He grabs your wrist, and you noticed that the speed of your mixing made some, or a lot, of the mix spill out of the bowl.
“Oh dear.” Your face heats up a bit, and you look over at Kevin, who is only slightly taller than you. “I’m terribly sorry Kevin, I did not mean to say all those things, I ju-“
“Does it really bug you that we don’t act all lovely and dovey and shit during school?” He raises his eyebrow, tugging you a little closer.
“Well— you see, It’s only that— I really do understand, and— All of this—..” You stutter a few times, stopping to tke a deep breath to continue on. “I think it’s better this way as well Kevin, at least for right now, seeing as we ourselves still need to get things sorted out. So no, it does not bother me persay, more as I can not control my thoughts when I see you during school.” You didn’t really comprehend what you said before you said it, making your face heat up as well as Kevin’s blush a bit as well.
Kevin smiles a bit of a teasing smirk at you despite, raising his eyebrow as his grip on your wrist tightens. “Yeah? You can’t control them?” His chuckles as a bit of a snort to it, eyeing you up and down.
“Oh good heavens Kevin,” You can’t help but roll your eyes a bit, a shy smile tugging at the corner of your lips. “Of course that is all you heard.”
“Well what’s stopping you now, huh?” He asks, leaning to o brush his nose against your jaw. “Let your thoughts go wild.” Kevin encourages you, trailing light kisses against your jaw.
The fluttery and lightness of the kisses make you laugh a bit, his breath tickling your skin as you try to lean away. “Kevin, before we continue on, we really should clean up this mess— whoa! Kevin!” You let out a startled noise as Kevin lifts you up, lips still pecking at your jaw and neck as he carries you away from the kitchen. “Kevin! This is not necessary, and is also very dangerous! I am more than capable of walking!”
“Pipe down dork, I’m trying to be romantic here.” He grumbled a bit against your skin as you wrap your arms securely around his neck.
He carries you off to your room, his lips already pecking against your own as he slowly places you down, though, his arms wrap around waist.
The both of you kiss for a long time, just simply enjoying the way your lips brush against each other, hands slowly an gently roaming against each other’s body. Its good enough to leave light goosebumps on your skin, pressing yourself as close as you can get against Kevin when the both of you need to catch your breath, lip locking again shortly after.
His hands slowly rub your hips, and your breath shudders against his lips before you nip at his bottom lip ever so gently, cupping his face. Kevin’s hands leave your hips as he grunts at your nipping, and you have a fear you have done something wrong, though his lips stay close to yours as he simply shrugs off his jacket.
Your eyes open to a half lidded gaze, staring at Kevin’s lovely green eyes as he eyes you. The both of you stop kissing for a moment, just smiling a bit as you just bump foreheads and stare at each other, your hands still cupping his face soothingly.
The eyecontact is broke, Kevin burring his head into your neck, where he kisses the skin as gently as he could. Though there isn’t much point in that, since soon after he harshly sucks at your skin, making you gasp loudly in surprise as your fingers quickly grip his the back of his shirt. He begins to suck at the skin there, making you squirm and slightly whimper at the feeling, tensing up at the though of an ugly bruise being formed there and how you are going to have to sneak into your mother’s bedroom to cover it up with makeup. He seems far to pleased with how he is making you react, as he does not give up for some time, and when he does, he resumes to kissing your lips.
After a moment, Kevin pulls back a little, and removes his hat and drops it to the floor. Normally you would be having a bit of a panic attack with the mess being made on the floor of your room, and you are about to say something before Kevin grabs the back of his shirt, bending forward a little to pull it off his torso.
You can’t help but stare, eyes gazing over his torso and arms, and the little trail of orange hairs that dip down into his pants. You snapped out of it when he hesitantly starts pulling you closer again, as if giving you a chance to back out of it at any moment, though you highly doubt you will.
He leans in to press his lips against yours again, your hands trailing up his toned arms while continuing the lingering kiss, though it does not last long when you hear your front door flying open.
“Seriously, did Sockhead really ditch me and Ed to bake?… Since when did he ever leave a mess? What’s going on? Hey, sockhead, where are ya!”
“Oh dear, oh dear,” You quickly detach yourself when you hear Eddy, scurrying around your room to collect Kevin’s clothes quickly. “Shh, shh, Kevin, quick, put these back on at once—- oh, drat!”
The both of you freeze when your bedroom door is rudely opened, a very upset Eddy glaring before he freezes as well.
“Kevin…?” Eddy rarely ever calls Kevin by his real name, and this only makes your stomach turn, Eddy’s eyes landing on you not helping a bit.
“Now, Eddy, you see, I can explain, me and Kevin here—”
“Haven’t you heard of knocking dork? That’s rude as hell.” Kevin barks, clenching his fist and raising it up to Eddy.
“Me? I’m the rude one? You are the one showing up to Sockhead’s house naked!” Eddy shields his eyes from Kevin’s half naked body, a disgusted look on his face. “Seriously, I’m going to have to bleach my eyes now, this is gross.”
“What did you say dorko? C’mon, speak up, so I can pound ‘ya!”
You are bewildered by the fact that they bother just go straight to arguing, Eddy not questioning you at all and insulting Kevin immediately.
The two of them are currently both yelling in each others face, fists raised in hostile manners.
“Seriously blockhea,d what are you even doing here? Are you stripping for Sockhead or something? Nobody wants to see that, right Double Dee?” Kevin’s eyes shoot over at you, while your face simply heats up as you grip Kevin’s clothes tighter. Eddy is waiting for an answer, while there is only anger over Kevin’s face as he continues to intensely glare at Eddy. “Double Dee…?” You have yet to answer, and Eddy looks you up and down before his eyes land on your neck.
“O-oh dear.” You drop Kevin’s clothes, slapping your hand over your neck quickly where the hickey lays.
You can practically feel the tension in the air, your face getting hotter and hotter by the second.
Eddy looks at you, then at Kevin, back at you, and then at Kevin. “Whoa…” Is all he says, shooting Kevin a dirty look, then looking at you. “You are messing around with a ginger?” Eddy looks dead serious with this question, and you see Kevin’s face go red with anger.
“That’s it dork, you’re dead!” Kevin shouts, grabbing Eddy by the front of his shirt and lifting his fist, slamming it right in Eddy’s face.
Eddy’s hands flail forward, one hand landing in Kevin’s hair and the other going for his neck, pulling at his red locks and scratching his throat. Eddy is shoved into the wall, grunts and groans cracking from the both of their throats as they continued to scratch, claw, punch, slap, and spit at each other, making you freeze from the tension.
“G… Gentlemen, please! This isn’t needed… Someone is going to get hurt! Please! Oh dear, Jim!” You shout, tugging your hat down over your eyes as you hear a loud crash.
Don’t look, don’t look, don’t look… Oh dear you looked.
On the floor was your poor, defenseless cactus Jim… His pot shatter with his dirt oozing out of the cracks.
Your eyes widened, tears coming to them as you continued to grip your hat.
“Oh, man…” Kevin comments, his fist still clenching Eddy’s shirt Both of their faces have a few bruises and scratches, Eddy with a bit of a bloody nose.
“Double Dee, we didn-“
“Now both of you listen here,” There is a scowl on your face as you advance towards them, a stern finger pointing at them. “This childish behavior needs to stop, it has been going on for too long, I understand what Eddy said was rude but violence is never the answer Kevin!” You huff, and Eddy sinkers a bit at the taller red head. “And Eddy! Your constant mocking of Kevin is not justified either! It’s very immature and honestly, becoming very irritating! You both need to get over your differences, and act like adults!”
The both of them are just staring at you, blinking here and there as you try to catch your breath from your shouting, pressure leaving from your face. They both look at each other’s scratched and brusied face, and Kevin lets go of Eddy’s shirt, the two boys just standing there awkwardly.
You allow the silence to go on, crossing your arms over your chest as your foot taps a bit angrily at them, a pout that means business plastered on your face.
“Sorry for punching you in the face, I guess.” Kevin scratches the back of his neck with the shrug, not looking down at Eddy.
“Uh, yeah, sorry for calling you a ginger, and shit.” He grumbles, and you know neither of them mean it but, it’s good enough. “So, what’s going on between the two of you? I’m really confused here.”
Kevin looks at you, and you glance at Kevin before only you return your attention to Eddy.
“Well, you see, since the summer, me and Kevin have sort of…” You press both of your pointer fingers together, twirling them a bit.
“Double Dork wants me.” He shrugs, and your face goes red.
“K-Kevin!”
“It’s true.”
“Well— yes, but, thats no way to break the news to Eddy!”
“Whoa, whao wait,” Eddy buts in, staring at the both of you. “Let’s take this from the top, okay??”
((Yeah thats it, maybe number 2 will be how they got together, who knows…))
