Kevin shut the door, making sure to be as quiet as possible so as not to wake up Edd. He scowled, shoving his hands in his pockets as he headed downstairs and outside, ensuring he locked the house before heading home. He checked the time and dialed Nat's number.

"Yo, bro. Talk to me." Nat answered smoothly.

"Double D's getting bullied," Kevin told him, finally letting some of his anger go. "For the past month, I think."

"Whoa, why didn't he let you -"

"He was scared," Kevin interrupted. "It wasn't his fault."

"How'd you find out?"

"He told me just a couple of minutes ago."

"So? What are you going to do?"

Kevin remained quiet for a moment, focusing on opening his front door. He went directly to his room, closing the door behind him. "What do you think?" he snapped, sitting on his bed.

"Ooh, I get to see bada$$ Kev? Sweet."

Double D woke up to birds chirping outside of his window. Rubbing his eyes, he remembered that today was Friday. Grumbling, he got out of his bed and started his morning routine.

As he stepped out on his front porch to lock the door, he saw Kevin strolling up his driveway. "Greetings, Kevin," Double D smiled at the sight of his boyfriend. "How are you?"

"Fine," Kevin smiled and waited as Edd trotted down to stand in front of him. "I thought I'd walk you with you today."

He watched as Edd's face brightened, "Really?"

"Yeah, hope that's cool."

"Indeed," he smiled. "I'm very thankful for the company."

"No prob." Kevin put his arm around Edd's shoulder, holding the dork close to his side. "I don't plan on letting you out of my sight for a while."

Edd nodded, his cheeks flushing. "I-I apologize for my behavior last night."

"No, there's no need to say sorry. It isn't your fault."

"I don't wish to be a nuisance."

"Look, Edd, I don't know what that means but shut up. You aren't it. You're with me, so I'm going to be there for you whatever goes on, okay? It doesn't matter if it's small or big."

Edd started, "Kevin -"

"No, Double D, promise that you tell me right away if anything happens again."

"I- Kevin I-"

"Promise me." Kevin snapped, holding tightly onto his arms. "I can't stand the sight of you crying like that."

Edd nodded his head, his eyes not leaving the gaze of the taller redhead. He looked so vulnerable, the way he was looking down at him. He had never felt this way before and didn't know what else to do.

"I promise, Kevin," Double D smiled, reaching up to hold one of his hands.

Visibly sighing, Kevin squeezed Edd's hand and kept holding it as they walked. "Good," Kevin smiled, relaxing slightly.

They continued to walk in silence, enjoying each others' company.

"Hey."

Edd stiffened, tightening his grip on Kevin's hand, which caused him to look back in surprise as three of his teammates headed toward them.
