Different: A Reverse Kevedd Story

Chapter Five

WARNING: VULGAR LANGUAGE PROCEED WITH CAUTION

Kevin was at his locker grabbing his books and putting them into his bag so that he could study and do homework tonight at home when Edd walks up to his locker.

"Hey Pumpkin!" Edd says smiling.

"Hi," Kevin says smiling.

Kevin helped Edd pack up his things and then even took his bag slinging it over his free shoulder using only one of the two straps.

"I can carry it," Kevin insisted.

"Nope," Edd said smirking at Kevin. "There is something you can do though, cutie."

"Like what?"

"Like this," Edd said taking Kevin's hand in his and intertwining them together.

Kevin blushed, "I like this."

"Me too, Cutie."

"Kevin! Are you alright? Is Edd kidnapping you?!" Some random kid yelled as a joke in the hall.

"Oh shut the fuck up you dick!" Edd yelled back at him and proceeding to flip him off when Kevin wasn't paying attention.

"Why do you do that?"

"Do what?"

"Why are you mean to people?"

"Some people don't deserve any of my kindness, Cutie."

Kevin looked confused. Most people do, right? What made them so bad that they don't deserve to be treated nicely?

Going along with this, he finally got confident enough to say, "I don't understand that statement. Would you please explain it to me?"

Edd looked at the redhead, He wanted to tell him he did, but he just couldn't make the sweetheart upset with how he was treated.

"Well, if you really must know, shortie. It's mostly because people treat those that they want respect with respect. I haven't been treated right from the start. Ever since I moved here , People think that I am some Asshole who doesn't have good choice in friends. They think that just because my friends are stupid, I am stupid. Just because they do dumb things then I do dumb things. Do you understand, squirt?" Edd tried to explain to Kevin not knowing how to bring up how he was treated at home, or the lack of however.

Edd sighed, not realising that he had done so. He never saw his parents. They were always out. Whether it was because of work, traveling, or just to be away from Edd they were never there for him.. Not even when he needed them most. He knew that if he hadn't adopted Ed and Eddy as friends when he moved here he would been seen as a target for bullies.. The solution was to be the bully.

Kevin of course had noticed.

"Edd, would you want to join me for dinner tonight?"

Edd looked at the smaller boy, he was smiling brightly, looking at Edd.

Edd smiling back at him, "Sure Pumpkin."

Kevin jumped up and hugged Edd tightly his smile growing.

Edd smiled more, he loved seeing Kevin so happy- it made him happy.

The two crossed the street going toward Edd's house.

Kevin was really nervous about Edd going to his house tonight for dinner, but as long as he could take the haunted look out of his eyes he would do anything. Nobody should be that sad.

" So, Umm, What do you want to eat?" Kevin asked timidly. He didn't want to seem like he was just going to make something and expect him to eat it.

"Honestly, squirt, I don't care as long as it can count as a whole meal. If you want I can make chicken alfredo, and with some help we can even have some bread and sides. Deal?" Edd wanted to help Kevin. He didn't want his shorty to be nervous around him.

Nodding his head okay, Kevin ended up getting even closer to Edd. He could hear his heart beating and he was freaking out on the inside.

What am I doing? Is this a panic attack? No, It can't be. What is this? Why can't I breathe with ease?

I can't bug Edd, I mustn't. He would feel upset and probably leave saying if I was sick Why didn't I say something.

Taking a deep breath I waited ten seconds then exhaled. Repeat.

Edd knew something was going on with the dweeb, but didn't want to seem like an ass.

As Kevin started getting ingredients for their meal, Edd came up behind him, slowly wrapping his arms around Kevin's waist. Kissing the top of Kevin's head, "You don't have to worry about anything when I am here."

"You make me worry," Kevin quietly admitted watching the pasta cook.

Edd was confused, "Why?"

Kevin felt the blush come onto his face as he turned to face the taller, handsome bad boy, "Because I want everything to be perfect. Because I want to be with you so badly.. I don't want to screw anything up."

"No! You don't have to worry about anything like that! I think you are too cute to mess up." Edd pokes Kevin's nose smirking. "Plus that sounds like something I would say," Edd continued chuckling this time.

Kevin felt so much better hearing all this from Edd. He feels special. Not like when he gets award at school. Not like when the nurse in elementary school let him help her during his lunch. It was different, this was Edd. Edd was special. Is it love?
