I love you, Dork. (A Kevedd Fanfiction)

Homecoming

Kevin's POV

It has been a week since I kissed him and I haven't heard from him since that night. Why was I so stupid? I have spent my whole life building up this persona about me that everyone respects, and a moment of weakness threatens to ruin it. Why must his lips taste so good and why must I feel attracted to his nerdy demeanor. 

Deciding that I have tortured myself enough, I try reaching out to him. 

"Hey. Are you going to homecoming?" 

Luckily Edd responds quickly because I nearly had a heart attack waiting for him to text back.

"Yes, I am. Can I expect to see you there? :)" Rereading his text, I am taken back. If I go, there is no turning back and everyone will see me for what I am. But, if I stay I will forever wonder what could of been. 

"I will be there by 8, hope to see you there." I respond, carefully wording my text in case Ed or Eddy was nearby him. 

The final thoughts I have before leaving my house are ones that I have resurfaced throughout my life. First of all before the night ends everyone will see me for the fraud I am, and most importantly I will finally be able to be with Edd. 

Edd's POV

Looking down at my watch, I can feel the butterflies swell in my stomach. It is 8 o'clock and Kevin will be here any moment. Nervously I pick at my blazer, discovering pills and imperfections that were not there a minute ago. 

"Hey Double-Dork." Startled I jump and am pleased to see his welcomed face.

"Kevin, I am glad you came." I say trying to sound welcoming and genuine. 

"Me too." He says, his voice soothing melting me like snow on a warm spring day. Staring into his deep green eyes that are more like a culmination of all the forests in the world, than a human's eyes. 

"Do you want to dance?" Kevin asks, his smile seems forced. It makes me wonder if he was as possibly scared as me. Compared to me he had so much to lose from friends to a reputation, yet he is so willing to give all of that up to be with someone like me. 

"I thought you would never ask." I respond, allowing for once in my life  to be vulnerable. Falling in love with someone is different than studying for a math test, there is no way to prepare for it. Love is unexpected and it is the most confusing situation I have ever been in. 

Kevin's POV

Breathe. Smile. Dance. I have to just repeat these three steps to make it through tonight. All eyes are on "us", the two gay kids who dared to dance. Seeing familiar faces who now turn away from the real me and those few people who will stand by me. 

"Kevin you are so brave." I hear Edd murmur into my chest as we continue to sway to the slow song. 

"Why do you say that? I was a coward all of these years hiding behind a bad boy reputation, being too afraid to admit my feelings towards you." 

"But, here you are now. You can't change your past Kevin, but you can improve upon it and become a better person. Being who are you on display for the whole school is what makes you brave." He says his words the strongest and kindest anyone has ever spoke to me. 

"I think I might love you Edd." I say, sounding like I am in a cliche romantic comedy. 

"I think I like you too." He says back to me teasingly, clearly not a fan of the "L" word. 

"Can I kiss you?" I say leaning down, ready to taste his supple lips.

"Please." Edd says almost begging. Without another word I bend down and kiss him. Having his lips against mine felt euphoric and in this moment nothing else matters.
