I love you, Dork. (A Kevedd Fanfiction)

Early September

Edd's POV

As my eyes flutter open I am forced to face the day and roll out of bed. 

"I am not a morning person." I repeat to myself, as I reluctantly put on my school clothes. It is only the second week of school and I already want to wear sweatpants to school. Looking in the mirror I can't help but be proud of myself. 

Just two short years ago I was emitted to a mental hospital for my obsessive behaviors-and here I am able to attend school with a wrinkle in my flannel. After another moment I turn away from the mirror, finally ready to face the day.

Opening my front door I am greeted with the familiar, and welcomed faces of Ed, and Eddy. 

"Hey Double-Dee". Ed says with a dopey grin that could make anyone smile.

"Good morning, Ed are you ready for an enthralling day of learning?" I say teasingly, knowing my friends didn't have the same love for education as I did. 

"Leeettt's go Double-Dee we don't want to be late to schoo-" Before Eddy could finish a familiar face from our childhood rumbles down the street on a motorcycle. Carefully I try to make eye-contact with him, as I don't even remember what Kevin looks like. When he looks back at me I am instantly taken back to my childhood. 

I miss the warm, sticky summers of the early 2000's. I like to think it was simpler times, nobody had "iphones" and t.v. was only watched when it was raining outside. Ed, Eddy and I were constantly going on adventures and getting in all sorts of trouble. Those are the days of my youth that I now miss as I finish my last year of high school. Looking at Kevin now, I can't help but wonder if he still remembers the summer of 2004. 

Kevin's POV

Why did he look at me? His stare only lasted a brief moment, yet I am shaken down to my shoes. Does he remember that summer? I thought I had repressed those thoughts about Edd long ago, but here I am thinking about him. 

As I pull up to school I cut the engine of my bike before it draws attention to me. Glancing down at my phone I can see that I will be late to my first hour class. "Oh well" I think to myself as I have never been interested in academics. Instead of showing up late to Chemistry, I decide to hang outside by the flagpole. With cigarette in one hand, my phone in the other I sit back, relax and enjoy the warm September air. 

Edd's POV

At the end of first hour I am confident I got 100% on my A.P. Trigonometry test, although I hadn't even studied for it. Math has always been my easiest subject to learn and improve upon, numbers made sense to me when people didn't. 

"Hey Double-Dee wait up" I hear Eddy calling behind me. Obedient as a labrador I slow my pace enough for him to catch up with me. 

"Sorry Eddy, I just wanted to get to Shakespeare early today. Seems how we were almost late friday." Eddy simply responds with his normal grumble; he hated Shakespeare. Paying no attention to his attitude we continue on arriving relatively early to class. 

I zone out the whole hour, thinking about the events of this morning. The brief moment when I dared to stare at Kevin. He has always been attractive to me from his shaggy red hair and dark green eyes, he is perfect. I wonder what he thought of me now, whether or not he still found my gauntly body and slender features attractive like he did years ago. 

When I look up from my wandering mind and doodles I see that class is ending and I have no clue what is going on. 

"What's homework for tonight?" I ask Eddy hoping that he was actually listening to Ms. Lefcults lecture. 

"Uhh, we are supposed to read the act 1 scene 1 to act 1 scene 7. Was the all knowing Double-Dee not paying attention for once?" Eddy says, his voice layered full of sass. 

"I just have a lot on my mind I guess, I might go home sick." I say not caring as to what the repercussions I would face when I got home and my parents found out I went home sick without talking to them first about it. 

"Well okay, I guess.  I hope you feel better tomorrow. Do you want me to check in on you tonight?" Eddy asks in a very nurturing and calming tone.

"You can come over whenever, just text me first so I can sneak you in." I say knowing my parents policy about being sick (no visitors allowed.)

Without a goodbye to Eddy I slip out into the pale sunlight and begin the walk home.
