Jawbreakers and Glasses

Valentines Day

  It was that time of year where everyone is as moody as a hormonal preteen. Yes, it was Valentines day; the day where some of the population express their love to each other extensively by buying gifts and showering each other in affection, while others despised with all their might, scowling at every couple or heart they see. For others, it was a time to finally confess their feeling to the one they like while others would just pass it on for a normal day. Well today you were going to participate in the festive day of love and hint your liking towards the genius bad boy. Yes, you have realized your feelings towards Edd were now crystal clear. You liked him, more than a friend, more than a best friend, but as a possible lover.

Today you had planned out everything and even took the time last night to buy some jawbreakers and ingredients to make chocolate coated maraschino cherries along with creating brownies for the other two boys. After getting ready in something that was a little bit more dressier than what you would wear on an average day of school, you grabbed your delicately wrapped sweets and put them in a gift bag to carry them before heading for school. As you arrived, you weren't surprised to see that the student council has decorated the school with red and pink hearts and white and pink streamers. Many of the girls wore something a little bit more dressier than the average and the atmosphere was a lot lighter than the average dreaded day.

As you walked along the school hallways, you witnessed many couples exchanging hugs, kisses and gifts, taking pictures and making sure they were decent to go to class. However your main attention wasn't on the student population's action, rather, it was in search for a certain beanie wearing trouble maker. Yes, you were in search of Edd in hopes that we would accept this small gift of kindness. As you continued to venture through the hallways, you couldn't find him anywhere. Even as you packed your locker in which he would sneak up behind you and tease you, he wasn't here at all. 'Maybe he was sick,' you thought to yourself as you made your way to class.

Soon lunch period came by and student's were happier than ever. The cafeteria was decorated in with the same thing's you've seen all through out the high school and the school lunch was serving a 'Valentine's lunch' with Valentine themed food. You let out a reluctant sigh. Maybe he wasn't here. Maybe he was sick and stayed home, or maybe he just didn't feel like coming. As you made your way to your normal lunch area, outside and underneath a tree, you felt someone grab your wrist and yank you away. You let out a yelp before your back hit something warm. Your eyes were filled with fright. Who was this?! A whimper emitted from your lips as you tried to pull your frail wrist away from the guy. "(Y/n) will stop moving! You're gonna get us caught!" someone hissed. That someone sounded all to familiar. You nervously looked over and gasped when you saw Edd.

"Edd! W-What are you doing here! I-I haven't seen you all day o-or in cla-"
"Shut up bunny!" he hissed before he looked over. "Shit they found us." he grumbled before he took off, running as fast as he could go, with you trying to tail behind him. Eventually you guys made a sharp turn and hid in front of the school where the trees and bushes were. You panted heavily, trying to catch your breath as your muscles ached from the non stop running. "Jesus she just won't get the damn hint." Edd groaned as he leaned on the tree, trying to ease his breath. "Hey, sorry I had to drag you in this. Marie wouldn't stop bugging me for a love night." he said.

You shook your head and ran your fingers through your slightly tangled hair, taming your sudden messy hair. "I-It's alright." you said, slightly panting.
"What's that in your hand?" Edd asked after having a momentary pause. You looked over at him and then down at your hand. The bag was still in your hand! How could you forget?! You quickly opened the bag and made sure that everything was alright. Letting out a sigh of relief, you silently thanked the heavens above before you turned your full attention towards Edd. "U-Um," you began, twiddling with your fingers in an effort to create the proper words. "I-I got you something for Valentine's day. I-It's nothing big, but I do hope you like it." you said shyly. Edd hadn't said a word and this made you even more nervous than you already were. Deciding to just get over this over bearing awkwardness and embarrassment, you dug for his gift.

"Here." you whispered as you held in your palm a small box that had chocolate covered maraschino cherries at the bottom with a few jawbreakers on top, all wrapped up in a light pink sheer net like bag, tied with a bow. "I-I hope you like it." you said softly, looking down at your shoes with red coating your cheeks. No words were exchanged, not even a sound. You heard the rustling of clothes as you kept your attention towards the ground in front until black combat boots came into view. You debated in your head whether or not you should look up, however you took the bet and peeked up.

There stood Edd towering over you as he looked down with his cold blue eyes. Slowly he grabbed the bag and looked at it. "Thanks." he mumbled. "How did you know Jawbreakers were my favorite?" he asked as he opened it and picked up the ball of sugar, inspecting it as he heard you speak.
"Well...you guys always reminisced about how it was hard for you guys to get a jawbreaker because Eddy's scams didn't work properly."
"You mean fail miserably no matter how many times I told him?" he corrected.
"Y-Yes..that I mean."
A chuckle escaped his lips as he put the jawbreaker back into it's bag and closed it with the ribbon. "Well thanks bunny." he said, tucking it away in his pocket. A smirk grew on his face as he grabbed your hand unexpectedly and pinned you to the tree he was leaning on prior to the gift exchange. "Now how should I repay you." he purred huskily in your ear. You let out a squeak as you felt his hot breath against your skin.

Your heart was beating as fast, if not faster, as you were running away with Edd. You let out a another squeak and closed your eyes, instinctively tightening your muscles. Was he going to do it? What was he going to do? He usually teases you like this, constantly, but now that you knew your feeling towards him, you're more nervous than ever! "Double D! I see you hooking up with another babe?" a voice hollered. Edd let out a sigh before pulling away from you, finally giving you some room to breathe. You opened your eyes and saw Eddy walking casually with his hands stuffed in his pocket and Ed mindlessly following. "Hello Double D." Ed said as he waved his hand. "And hello to you to (Y/n)." You let out a small smile for the oaf and gave him a small greeting.
"What's inside the frilly bag?" Eddy asked nonchalantly. You looked down at your bag and remembered. Not only had you made a gift for Edd, but also these two as well. "Oh I thought I would make something for you guys, so I whipped up some brownies." you said as you pulled out two mini boxes that held two square brownies in each, wrapped in simple plastic wrap covered with hearts. "Sweet! The pretty lady got us some brownies!" Eddy cheered as she snatched the brownies and began to eat. Deciding to help Ed, you opened it for him and handed him one so that he wouldn't accidentally swallow the plastic wrap. "Thank you very very much (Y/n)!" Ed said happily as she shoved the whole sweet in his mouth and began to chew and chuckle happily. "Yummy!"


Edd POV:

Edd watched in the distance as observed his two friends and the girl that he no doubt liked. With ice blue eyes he watched as you laughed with glee and something Eddy had done stupidly and Ed just added on to it. He sighed as he leaned on the tree and pulled out the bag that you had given him before observing it. It was well put. he had to agree; a miniature box about the size of his palm that was rowed with neatly made chocolate and on top were about three jawbreakers, stacked in a neat and steady pyramid. Opening it with his index and thumb, he reached down for the chocolate and plopped one in his mouth. "Chocolate covered maraschino." he hummed before smirking. Typical of her to make something just as sweet as her.
