Healing Touch (Pt. 1)

Author: NaturalGhoul
Summary: Double D is keeping something from Kevin, the one person he knows he can trust. But when Kevin finds out, what will happen to their relationship? (Nat belongs to c2andy2c1d)

Double D moved sluggishly, feeling the pain from yesterday settle in his bones. He groaned internally, cursing his weak physique. Opening his locker, Edd shouldered his messenger bag and thought back to his assignments for the day. He gazed at his textbooks; suddenly, he couldn't remember anything from his classes.

"How strange," he mumbled, staring directly at one spot in an attempt to remember. "Did I not write anything down?"

He searched his notes; he had written everything down and sighed, relieved. This behavior wasn't like him. Smiling, he put everything he needed into his bag.

Edd noticed a shadow had fallen over him and turned to face whoever was behind him.

"K-Kevin," he sighed in relief. "Do you not have practice this evening?"

"I do," the redhead gave a cocky smile. "I was on my way to the field. Are you heading home?" He asked, eyeing him curiously.

"Yes, I have to begin the biology project assigned."

"That isn't due in a while."

"I am aware it is best to do it sooner rather than later."

Kevin nodded, smiling. "Alright, I'll come by later after practice to help out -"

"No, Kevin! I'll start tonight, and then we can continue this weekend." Edd offered a smile, wanting him to believe him. "W-well, I shall speak with you tonight when you're finished with practice."

"Alright," Kevin gave Double D a quick peck on the cheek before heading towards the locker rooms. "See ya, Double D!"

Edd smiled, despite his current situation. Slowly, his smile faded, and he shut his locker and began his walk home.

Kevin jogged out onto the field; the air was crisp, waving at his best friends.

"Yo, Kev!"

"Hey," he stopped short of the two, letting the chilly autumn air hit him. "How's the team lookin'?"

"Where's Double D?" Nazz asked, leaning against the iron fence in her uniform.

"Went home to work on a project." Kevin relayed quickly, beginning his stretches. "He looked sorta out of it, ya know?"

"Out how?" a green-haired boy asks, holding his helmet against his hip.

Kevin shrugged, "Just out, Nat, like he wasn't his usual dorky self."

"Maybe he's stressed," Nazz offered. "I don't doubt it. He's always working so hard."

The three went silent as the coach blew his whistle, "Let's go, let's go!"

Edd sighed, regretting not being able to tell Kevin what had happened. He rubbed his arm, glancing around his surroundings.

"Hey, dork,"

He jumped at the sound of his voice, turning slowly as fear slowly took hold of him.

"G-greetings, isn't it an l-lovely day?" he stuttered, beginning to shake without his volition.

Double D stared up at Joe, the cruelty of his personality seeping onto his startling features. His friends, Alex and Paul, snickered as Joe took hold of Edd's collar, wrinkling his shirt.
