Knock On Wood (BoyxBoy)

chapter eighteen.

Edd wasn't sure what to pack for his trip to Longburg Park. After all, he's never been to such a grimy, bacteria-infested place in quite some time.

After completing his daily chores of dusting and reorganizing his bedroom, Edd decided to use his prior knowledge of such places to make a list of essentials for his couple hours in the sun before he started packing.

List for my evening with Kevin, he called it. Edd smiled at Kevin's name, then putting his pencil down, he staring out of his bedroom window from where he sat at his desk. It seemed almost like a dream, Edd thought. Every day that he spent with Kevin was almost too good to be true.

He's made my life brighter and more fun, making me forget about my insecurities and focus on the present.

Eddward didn't know what it was about Kevin that makes him love him so much. Perhaps it is his perfect smile and clear, green eyes. Maybe it's his handsome face with a strong jawline and good-looking cheekbones, or his loud, social personality that he adores so much. Possibly his scent--the faint smell of Axe bodyspray, sweat and some other things that were scents that only he has.

Oh, my, Edd thought, sighing. I've turned into a helpless romantic.

Edd slolwy returned his gaze back to the paper in front of him and stared at the words he wrote in nice, neat cursive. Frowning, he erased a word and replaced it with two different ones.

List for my first date with Kevin, he changed it to.

To him, Eddward thought his list contained many reasonable things, such as:
•SPF 30 Sunscreen
•Raincoat (in case of unpredicted rain showers)
•Tinted sunglasses
•Anti-Bacterial hand wipes
•Bathing suit
•$15 for food
•$20 for merchandise
•Band-aids
•Hand Sanitizer
•Portable cell phone charger

Just as he finished his list, Eddward's phone buzzed.

From: Kevin--12:49 p.m.

Edd snickered quietly to himself and sat on his bed to reply.

To: Kevin--12:49 p.m.

Hello, Love.

From: Kevin--12:49 p.m.

From: Kevin--12:50 p.m.

To: Kevin--12:50 p.m.

From: Kevin--12:51 p.m.

gr8.

see ya soon ;)

Giving a hopeless sigh, Edd got up from where he sat on his bed, putting his phone on his clean bedside table.

The lack of proper English in his texts is enough to make anyone cringe, he thought as he wandered around the room, gathering the things he needed.

Edd tightly packed all of his things in a white drawstring backpack, finishing with five minutes to spare. With this time, he decided to change into more appropriate clothing than jeans and a black shirt. Edd changed into baggy tan shorts and a plain Navy Blue t-shirt.
