Summary: Kevin finds out Double D isn't at prom.

Kevin looked at Double D and noticed that he looked kind of scared. "Hey, Double D. Why weren't you at the dance?"

Edd's eyes widened a bit at that. 'Had Kevin been looking for me?' "Dances are not my forte Kevin. I do not particularly enjoy large collections of people in a single room. The number of airborne pathogens could be rampant."

"Oh, I see," Kevin said. "Would you like some company then? Seeing as you are here without the other idio- guys?" He looked at the dork with hope.

Seeing no context to harassment, Edd agreed to let Kevin in. "Please remove your shoes. Would you like some refreshments? I have water, orange juice, apple juice, and some soda." Edd asked as he walked towards the kitchen.

"Uh, soda would be nice. Thank you." Kevin walked towards the living room and noticed how spotless it was. A couple of textbooks were neatly open across the coffee table. Kevin started to look at one of the notable books but could not comprehend the words on the page. He didn't notice his host enter the room.

"Here's your soda Kevin. Please use a coaster. I do apologize for the state of disorganization. I was doing some studying for our finals."

"Dee, none of this looks like anything we would have covered in classes."

"Well, you never know what may occur on the tests, Kevin. It's better to be prepared than not."

Kevin took a sip from his soda; the dork had a point.

"Anyways, Kevin, I wanted to talk with you before we graduated. Like one on one. Without any of our friends."

Kevin glanced at Double D. He looked a bit unsure and uncomfortable but confident.

'He's so cute. God damnit, I hope I will be able to admit my feelings to him.'

Edd took a big breath and looked at Kevin. "I like you a lot Kevin. As in, oh dear, I don't know how to say this...." He then rushed at the jock and planted a kiss on his lips. It was a quick kiss, nothing too exhilarating. Realizing what he had just done, Edd fled to his room and locked the door behind him. How could he be so foolish, as if the star of Peach Creek would even like him? Looking at his shaking hands, he started to weep.

Kevin didn't even have a chance to react before Edd had fled. He was still in shock at the dork's confession to him. It took Kevin a moment to realize that he heard faint sobbing coming from up the stairs Edd escaped on. Getting up and walking up the stairs seemed to take days. Kevin went to the door the crying was coming from on the landing and knocked.

"Hey, Dee? Would you please open up?" The crying subsided.

"No, please go, Kevin."

Kevin looked at the door and sighed. 'I am not leaving. Not until he knows how I feel about him, I'll sit here all night if I have to.' He then proceeded to sit down and leaned against the door. "I'm not leaving until you open the door." Edd's crying resumed.

Kevin leaned his head on the door and started humming "I Want to Hold Your Hand" by the Beatles, then he began to sing:

Oh yeah, I'll tell you something
I think you'll understand
When I say that something
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

Oh please, say to me
You'll let me be your man
And please, say to me
You'll let me hold your hand
You let me hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

And when I touch you, I feel happy
Inside
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide
I can't hide
I can't hide

Yeah, you've got that something
I think you'll understand
When I say that something
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

And when I touch you, I feel happy
Inside
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide
I can't hide
I can't hide

Yeah, you've got that something
I think you'll understand
When I feel that something
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

The crying had stopped before Kevin ended the song. Eddward could not believe his ears. 'Kevin's admitting his feelings for me!?' He stood up, unlocked the door, and opened it. Kevin tumbled as the door opened behind him. He looked up at the tear-strewn face of the dork he was enamored. Those cyan eyes had always captivated him, and the person behind them never ceased to amaze him.

"Kevin, is that how you feel about me?" Kevin sat up and looked at Dee.

"Yes, it is. It's how I have felt about you for years. I never could work up the courage to ask you."

Edd giggled a bit at that and covered his mouth. He felt Kevin's hand on his arm. "Please don't cover up your smile. It's adorkable."

They looked at each other-cyan into emerald. Kevin leaned in and kissed Double D. They went to Edd's bed and cuddled. Slowly, the new couple fell into a slumber, smiles on their faces.

After that night, no one saw Double D's driveway empty. It constantly held Kevin's motorcycle. As it would for years to come.
