Edd's POV

"How didn't I know all of these years, that you were gay Double-Dee." Eddy says a bit too loudly, in our typically silent classroom.

"Maybe it's because you are so shortsighted Eddy. The only time we talk anymore is if you need help with homework or a crazy scheme!" I retort back to him. 

"Geez, way harsh Edd." Eddy says his voice sounding withdrawn. 

"I am sorry Eddy. It's just there has been a lot of unneeded attention and questions from people. Everywhere I look I am bombarded with gossips who want the "in" on me and Kevin's relationship." I say apologetically. 

"That's the other thing, why does your love interest have to be my childhood bully?" Eddy chuckles.

"Kevin, like most people has matured since childhood. He is the most kind and thoughtful person I have ever encountered. I think I may love him." I say, feeling blood rush to my face. 

"Gosh you are in deep Edd." Eddy says, trying to be supportive but clearly uncomfortable by me being gay.

The rest of the hour I try to zone Eddy out. I know it isn't fair to ignore him, but sometimes it is easier to push the ones we love most away, rather than opening up. But, regardless of  what Eddy or anyone else thinks I am in love with Kevin. If only I knew how to tell him.

Kevin's POV

Walking into the lunchroom I quickly survey the sea of students to find Edd. Moments pass and I finally spot his trademark beanie, and waltz over to sit by him.

"Hello Double-Dork." I say to him, quickly pecking him on the lips, because he is not a fan of public displays of affection.

"Hello Kevin, how was geometry?" Edd says with a careworn expression.

"It was most enthralling Edd." I say mimicking Edd's voice. Sitting down, I position myself at an angle so I can be closer to him.

"Can we go to the library tonight to study?" I say softly to  Edd, picking apart the pizza that sits in front of me.

"Of course, after all we need to get you into college!" Edd says enthusiastically, calming my nerves a bit.

"Speaking of college Edd, what will become of "us" once you leave for Columbia next year." I say, timidly.

"I haven't put much thought into that, I must admit." Edd says sheepishly.

"Well do you want to be with me?" I ask cooly, coming across more harsh than what was intended.

"Kevin, of course I want to be with you. It's just Columbia has been a dream of mine since fourth grade." Edd says, his eyes appearing to be filling with tears.

"I will follow you Edd. We can make this work." I say pulling my dork's head into my chest.

"How can we make this work." Edd mumbles into my chest, sounding a bit defeated.

"I will find a tech school, after all NYC is huge! There must be a some place that'll take me." 

"You would leave your life here for me?"

"I would travel the world if it means I don't have to live without you Edd." I say, noting the strong romance vibe that has taken over my life.
