Edd's POV
As my eyes flutter open, my first thoughts are of Kevin. Homecoming was three days ago and I haven't seen or heard from him since he dropped me off. A million thoughts have ran through my mind over the course of the weekend. Yet the overall resounding image I have is of Kevin, and the way he smiled at me.
Deciding that I have tortured myself enough, I get out of bed and prepare myself for the day ahead. Hastily I throw on a thick cardigan and slim fitting pants. Looking at my reflection I am not necessarily displeased with my appearance, I frown at myself. What about myself made Kevin want to ignore me, after the best night of my life?
Ignoring the thoughts that now fill my entire body, I shuffle out into the brisk October morning; my converse shoe laces dragging behind me.
Kevin's POV
Walking into school, all eyes are on me. The expressions on my peers faces read everything from "look at the new gay kid" to "He will be my new gay best friend." All the eye contact is making me self conscious for some reason. I have always been the center of attention, but not for my sexuality or who I loved.
This weekend was the longest and hardest of my life. Peach Creek is such a small town that my dad heard about my encounter with Edd before the sun came up after homecoming. To say that he was furious would be an understatement.
"What the fuck is wrong with you." Were the first words he uttered to me. His words stung more than a culmination of all the wipeouts I have made while biking. I hadn't realized prior to this occurrence that my father was homophobic, the idea that my dad would speak to me this way was a crazy concept.
After hours of interaction and scoffing my father lets up on assaulting my ears. He told me never to speak to Edd again and that if my mother was still alive she would be disappointed in me. Every word he says to me I feel more defeated. But, truth be told I would bare the loss of my father's respect over the loss of Edd's affection towards me anyday.
I need to see him.
Edd's POV
Walking out of my A.P. Language class I am immediately confronted by him, Kevin. Instantly I feel warmth fill my body.
"Sorry for not keeping in touch." Kevin says, sympathy laced in his voice.
"Did I do something wrong?" I ask hoping I don't sound as pathetic as I feel.
"My dad was being an ass. As per usual." He says, the lack of emotion in his voice revealing the strained relationship between him and his father.
"I am so sorry Kevin, I will understand if you never want to speak to me again." I say, practically feeling my heart breaking as the words slip out of my mouth.
"Don't ever say sorry Edd, this isn't your fault. I would rather take my father's hatred, than live my life without knowing you."
"Kevin, you are making me feel like I am in a Hallmark movie. This kind of thing isn't supposed to happen. A bad boy falling in love with a nerd, it is so cliche." When I look up to him, his smile intensifies.
"Who says two gay kids can't have a happily ever after together?" He asks.
I simply respond with a quick kiss on his soft, supple lips. Who knew love was so easy?
