Summary:
Eddy's older brother takes a dangerous interest in Edd as he stays with them for the holidays, leading to a relationship that no one, not even Eddy or Kevin, can seem to save Edd from.

We're starting to get into more good Eugene/Edd interactions! Some sexual innuendo in this chapter. Chapter 3 should be up tomorrow and working on chapter 4 now.
Chapter Text
It had been a few hours after dinner that the two boys finally settled down in Eddy's room to relax for the night. Edd had gotten wrapped up talking with Eddy's mom (she really was quite delightful) while Eddy had done everything he could to avoid and ignore Eugene, despite the older man's best efforts. After a second helping of pie Eddy had finally managed to pull Edd away from his mother's conversation and into his room where they now sat in comfortable silence. Edd was reading the user manual for his new watch on Eddy's bed while Eddy sat on the floor tinkering with the new app on his phone, inputting who-knows-what sort of questionable data into the built-in spreadsheets. Eddy grinned to himself as messed with his phone. He honestly couldn't believe Edd could to do something like this. Well...no that wasn't completely true. He knew he COULD, he just didn't think he would. After getting the hang of the app he put the small device away and looked up at Edd, watching as the other teen's eyes flicked over the words in the manual. It was those same green eyes that had seemed to catch the attention of his older brother.
Eddy thought back to the dinner and frowned in Edd's direction. He had never seen Eugene look at anyone like that before, except maybe a couple Eddy's old babysitters. Usually that look had meant one thing and one thing only. A shiver went through him, and the shorter male did his best to rid himself of whatever ideas started to form.
He was just being silly, he reasoned. There was no way Eugene would be interested in Edd. Edd was...well, Edd. Shy, timid, with a sharp tongue that came out whenever the situation called for it. It wasn't like his friend wasn't attractive or anything, but he just didn't know what it could have been that had his brother suddenly showing interest.
Eddy hadn't noticed he was staring at Double D until the other boy turned his attention to him.
"Is everything alright, Eddy?" Edd questioned, eyebrows raised. He thought he had felt a slight disturbance; it seemed Eddy's gaze was the reason.
"You look quite distressed." And he did. The other looked troubled, brows drawn together to form too many wrinkles in the middle of his forehead for such a young face. The lanky teen had a small idea what was to blame for this, but he didn't want to fully jump to conclusions. Acquiring more information always led to a better hypothesis or, sometimes, the answer itself.
Eddy shook his head and smiled up at him.
"It's nothing. I think I'm just a little tired is all." He said, feigning a yawn to give it the full affect.
He wasn't too keen on lying to Edd, but the last thing he wanted was to voice his concerns. If one could even call them that. He shrugged it off, chalking it up to him just being paranoid. He left it at that as he got up from his spot on the floor and walked over to his closet, taking out a few extra pillows and a blanket and tossed it to Edd, more or less burying him under it all.
Edd squeaked and then laughed as he dug his way out of the pillows that covered him. Though he wasn't positive of the truthfulness of Eddy's reassurances, the taller Ed chose to believe him for the time being. Maybe he was just tired.
