Loser 😍🦶(Cola losers fanfic) (Edd x Eduardo)

3- The visit

Eduardo knocked the door and heard some foot steps. He nervously stared at his house, his friends were staring at him from the window. He knew he couldn't escape in this one, suddenly the sound of the door opening alerted him.

-Oh... Hey Eduardo!-
Edd said surprised.
-Hello.- He replied in an awkward but cold tone, trying to hide his embarrassment
-I didn't think you would visit me... Uhh... What is it?-

-I ran out of sugar. You got some?- he lied

-Sure... Just let me...- Edd walked back in but Eduardo got inside the house following him

-Oh.-

-You don't mind that I get into your house right?-

-Oh... Nonono! Of course not! Feel like home! Uhh well, I'll bring the sugar...-

Edd walks to the kitchen while Eduardo analized the house, he always imagined the inside being a dirty mess by the personality of his chaotic neighbours but it unexpectedly was tidy. While staring at the yellow walls, he couldn't ignore the pictures holding in the walls. Some of Edd with his friends, some of that egocentric ginger doing flirty faces, and paintings. Eduardo stared at the paintings. He liked them even tho they had simple ideas. He looked around; No idea why Edd was taking so long to find the sugar but he wasn't seeing him. So he took one of the painting to look at it better. It was just a very detailed cola can, something expected since Edd's cola obsession was very obvious to anyone who met him

-Here it is! Sorry for taking so long... It's a funny story! Well Matt tried to eat all the sugar once so...-

The guy got interrupted by noticing that his visit was holding his painting, the Hispanic awkwardly cleared his throat

-Sorry... I just wanted to look at one of your paintings better. I kind of liked the artstyle.-

-Aw thanks! Well, actually I did that painting...-

-Oh... I didn't know you also painted...-

-Uhh... I mostly draw but I've been trying painting recently too. That reminds me, I think you used to paint, right?-

-Mhm, I still do it. But I haven't got so many free time to paint something. It's really hard to have time when you have to supervise your friends most of the time and make sure they don't do... Something.-

-Hehe, I kinda relate. I really love my friends, I mean, I wouldn't live with them if I didn't right? But sometimes I feel like I'm the glue that sticks them together-

Eduardo didn't expect that answer from Edd. His friends always seemed to be happy all the time with him and to share the same ideas. How could they even have struggles?

-Really?-

-Yep, Matt and Tom have very different personalities, they are almost the opposite of each other, that makes them have struggles with interacting with each other, Uhh well... Actually only Tom has that problem, Matt is the friendliest thing ever.-

-That's weird, I don't have the same problem with my friends, I mean, yeah I always have to take care of them so they don't do something stupid. But even if they are different, they don't hate each other or something similar...-

-Oh you misunderstood me. Tom doesn't hate Matt... I hope so... They just have a complicated relationship! Luckily, they seem to be improving... Stuff has happened between them years ago so it makes sense why Tom acts that way with Matt... But do you remember Tord? My Norwegian friend?  Tom actually hated him. It was so exhausting to make sure they weren't fighting all the time- Edd laughed

-Oh yeah, here is the sugar. Sorry, I think I overshared about my life. I am really sorry about that. It's just, I never met somebody that had a similar struggle- Edd blushed slightly embarrassed and gave the sugar to his neighbour

-Eh, it's fine. Thank you anyways-

Eduardo walked outside until...

-WAIT! Eduardo!-

He looked behind and saw Edd in the window

-I know what you said when we did all this deal, but I think we had a nice short talk today! What about we paint something together one day? Ah?-
The British guy smiled, convincing the man in some way.

-Sure, but when?-

-Well, Tom and Matt just left some minutes ago to stay some days with their families. So, they won't return until the next week. Any day of this week will be okay, just visit me when you feel like painting.-

-Alright... Goodbye.-

Finally Eduardo arrived home.
-So?- Mark asked

-Uh, anything turned out well...-

-What is the sugar for?- Jon questioned

-Why do you care?!- Eduardo replied annoyed and defensive

-You asked him for... Sugar?? I thought you didn't like it- Mark said confused

-Yeah because... Uhhh... I don't know why I did it, I think I am too exhausted and that's why... Anyways I think I'll go to sleep. Goodnight.-

-But it's 7:30 PM!- Jon exclaimed

-GOODNIGHT I SAID!-

The man walked to his room and saw that pinned drawing centered in the target with some bows sticked in it... It was the superhero drawing that Edd did when they were just children for that dumb competence that won instead of hims. He pulled out the bows, took it, stared at the drawing for a while and opened a drawer to keep it inside there.

Just like if it was something that destiny wanted to happen, he saw some paintings and brushes covering all of the interior of the furniture, he placed them over a table, reminding what Edd told him.
-Fine, I guess I'll have to do it tomorrow.-

Eduardo took some notes and started writing on them, after finishing, he saved the materials in a long bag, prepared himself for bed and took out his sleeping pills. He stopped using them for a long time, but he needed them now because nobody is sleepy at 7-8 PM
He consumed them and fell asleep in some minutes.
