Under Edd's Hat

Pizza

Arvilla yawned as Edd snuggled underneath her arm. "Are you going to sleep in my bed?"
She jokingly gasped and playfully hit Edd on his arm. "Why Eddward, are you trying to seduce me? Because it might be working! I won't bump Uglies by any means, but I can go for a mean cuddle!"
Edd chuckled, relieved that he had his friend back. "Dear?"
"Hm?"
"Can you or Nat go and grab some text books from the library? Or something good to read? I'm getting a little restless."
"Of course my love! I will happily cock block our dear friend to run that Errand!"
Edd giggled as Arvilla hopped out of bed and hopped up the stairs. She got to his door and started pounding on it. "Nat! Stop doing the dirty dirty! Edd's bored!" She waited as she heard whispers and Nat thudding on the floor as he rushed to the door.
"Arvilla, my loving, cockblocking Bitch. I'm a little busy." He was pushed to the side as his boyfriend appeared in front of him.
"We weren't doing anything. He's a wishful thinker." Nat pouted as Rave grabbed a jacket and rushed Downstairs.
"Remind me again why a slut like you is with a sassy little tease like that?"
"Because, we have similar interests. And, I love a chase."
Arvilla rolled her eyes as Nat grabbed something warm to put on and followed Rave downstairs.
Rave was staying with them until he found his own place, as he arrived into the states again a little later than Nat did. Him and Nat met when they were in Paris. Nat Studying Design, and Rave studying Theater. Rave ignored Nats persistent advance for a while, thinking of them as annoying until eventually it turned into flattery. He still put up most of his walls, but Nat was slowly tearing them down.
Arvilla tromped dowm the stairs and reflected Nats crude signal with her own finger and crawled into hed with Edd.
"I'm hungry. Lets get pizza!" She said as she snuggled up to Edd and rubbed her face on his neck like a kitten. "OhpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseOh-"
"Goodness! Get the damn pizza then!"
"Well Oh my Eddward! Such foul language!" She giggled and smirked that she got him to curse. She took pride in it. "Sausage and mushrooms?"
"That's fine."
45 minutes later, Arvilla trotted to the door in her yoga shorts and Smashing pumpkins Tshirt she cut into a belly top with her lavender Hair tied up into a messy bun, chanting "pizza". Her eyes grew wide as she saw a beautiful, curvy and short caramel skinned specimen infront of her munching on a cookie in one hand and balancing the pizza box in the other. "I like cookies."
The girl with Amber on her name tag swollowed and wiped her hand on her uniform pants and gave a smile. "Well, you should've ordered from a place that sells them."
"You're not my real dad."
"So you're not going to call me daddy?"
Arvillas face was crimson as she stuttered a little bit mumbling momey as she ran inside to grab some cash. Amber paused in the entryway with a hand on her hip. Edd sauntered in the hallway with a big sweatshirt and Sweatpants and looked between the two girl. Amber gasped and set the pizza on the table and walked over to Edd with her hands on her face. "You're boyfriend is such a smol! Oh baby, is she not feeding you? I'll save you." She rummaged in her sweater and pulled a bag out of her pocket full of pineapple upside down cookies and pulled one out for Edd.
Arvilla scowled. "Oh he gets a cookie! And he is not my boyfriend, he is my bestfriend. And if you ever blame me for being the reason why he is skinny, I will topple you to the floor and punch you in the FACE."
Edd chuckled and leaned against the wall, taking a bite out of the cookie watching in amusement as he watched his awkward friend trying to flirt. "Watching your sad attempt to flirt is amusing, Arvilla. Why don't you act like a normal human and ask her for her number?"
Arvillas face was on fire now as she screeched at Edd and found the money and shoved it into the now smirking Ambers hands and shoved her out the door. Once the door was closed she spun around and pointed at Edd. "You asshat. I would have gotten to that eventually after ordering pizza everyday and would've been like "your face. I like that shit." Like a normal human."
"That's incredibly unhealthy eating pizza every day, and that is NOT normal. Well, at least she knows you were trying to flirt now. So when you order pizza next time, it won't be hard to just ask her for her number."
"You of all people should know, that not every person you like is going to have the same interest in uglies as us. And it's awkward to be like "Hello, are you a lesbian? Because I would like to touch your butt.""
Edd sighed and put his hand on his face. "Arvilla, stop being so awkward. I wasn't sure if Kevin was gay, and yet I still tried. And that turned out well."
She scowled and held back her venom words by shoving a whole piece of pizza in her mouth as far as she could. Edd giggled as the doorbell rang and he headed to the door to answer. He was confused when no one was there until he saw a bag of cookies with a note inside. He smiled as he handed it to Arvilla. Her eyes grew as she read the number on the piece of paper and slightly confused as she saw some symbols scribbled on the paper followed by "I'll tell you what it says when we go on a date."
"It's Korean. That's kinda sweet."
"She doesn't look Korean."
"She probably studies it, dummy."
"Your words hurt me. Shut up and eat the pizza."

************************************

Kevin sat on the bench outside of his dorm, his mind overwhelmed with the thought of Edd being alone. He didn't want Edd to think that way. He tried every way possible to let him know he was there. Kevin peaked through his fingers that held his face as he heard the crunching of snow. He saw a familiar green haired man Carrying textbooks across the courtyard. Kevin laughed as Nat tripped and the books flew out of his hands. He jogged over to help him pick them up, holding one out to Nat as he read the title out loud. "Integrated Principles of Zoology? Nat.. Who are these for?" Nat froze in his spot as he slowly looked up at Kevin, not realizing it was him before. Nat quickly ripped the book out of Kevins hands and screamed as he sprinted for the Jeep. "MONSTER. FIRE. HALP!"
Kevin blushed as he looked after Nat, but still jogged after him. "NAT. WHERE IS HE?" His face turned into one as hurt. He hated the secrets. He needed to know. "Just tell me if he is ok!"
Nat was still screaming as he hopped into the jeep and threw the books in the back. He buckled himself in as a man with maroon hair swung his door open. "Where do you think he is, dumbass? Just fucking follo-" his words were stiffled as Nat covered Raves mouth and pulled him back into the car. He quickly pulled out of the parking lot and headed home, checking the rear view mirror to see if Kevin was following them.
"You really pissed me the fuck off. This is what is best for both of them, Rave! You can't just go out of your way to be a dick and ruin someone's life!"
Rave gasped at Mats harsh words, surprised. "Wow. Never thought you would talk to me that way! I don't even know why you're helping your ex's boyfriend. It's dumb! Just let them be together and stop pulling them apart! It's selfish!"
Nat pulled into the driveway, hitting the brakes a little too hard. "You're being selfish. You don't understand. I care for Kevin. And I've been in a similar situation before. Just glancing at Edd, I knew he was sick. And I didn't want him to make the same mistakes."
Raves hard exterior softened."Same mistakes as who, Nathan?"
"It doesn't matter." Nat said, sounding defeated. "If they stayed together, Edd wouldn't have taken the treatment. It's a harsh one. He wouldn't want Kevin to see him suffer. He would rather just live out his final days, both knowing the worst, but his fate set in stone. This treatment isn't a sure thing, Rave. He doesn't want to get anyone's hopes up and hurt them further."
Rave sighed. "I guess that makes a lottle more sense. But, you should have did a couple rounds before pulling into our place."
"Why?"
"Because Kevin just pulled in and is walking towards us."
