Hey guys. So I literally have not been on here for 2 years. I ended getting a job that was a little hectic and was working 40 hours a week on top of school and spending time with my boyfriend (AND NOW MY FIANCE WHOA!). I'm sad that I abandoned my stories and quite ashamed actually. I really enjoy writing and I hope to not fail again. I am now currently not working due to a medical issue, so I have more time to focus on writing and planning my wedding that is coming up this August. Thank you for reading and I love your reviews and any suggestions that you may have! Please enjoy!

Edd didn't even struggle against Kevin's pull. He was confused, but more than anything, he was hurt. The kiss made no sense to him. He wasn't mad that she did, it was actually reassuring but he was sure that she was telling him that they just weren't working. So why the kiss? He knew Kevin still had a hold of his arm; he just didn't care to feel it. He didn't care to feel anything at the moment except the tingling on his lips. The satisfaction from human physical interaction is truly amazing; but why? Why must she say one thing but do another? Edd had never been more confused, but one thing was for sure, he wasn't enough for her, or anyone for that matter. His parents were never home, only leaving notes and asking about his grades. They always managed to find something that needed improvement. Apparently it was just him all around, he needed improvement.

Kevin was irate. After everything she just said to him and what she's done, the dork still let her kiss him. What the shit was he thinking?! Kick her ass to the curb! Kevin would have never allowed that to happen to him. That girl was an open book, and she stated what she wanted quite clearly, and that wasn't Double-D. She just wanted him as a toy and a girlfriend to tell her problems to, someone to run to when someone else hurt her because he's so nice that he would do it! Shit, she was basically screaming "Hey love me and do anything for me but I'm not going to do the same. Instead I'm going to sleep with other guys because you just don't meet the quota".

Kevin felt the rush of cool water against his feet as he reached the lake, still having a tight grasp on Double-D, who had yet to say a word, not that Kevin had either. Once the water reached just above his hips, the tan athlete turned around and placed his full attention to the pale boy on the other end of his arm. Edd continued to look down, his hair creating a thick black veil between him and everything else. Kevin finally let go, but continued to watch. After a moment, the boy still hadn't moved or said a word. Kevin crouched down, and cocked his head slightly to see the hidden face. Instantly he felt his heart clench at what he saw. Tears were streaming down his face; his eyes squeezed shut and his lips in a hard line. Kevin reached up and took the boy's chin, lifting it to its normal position as he straightened out as well. Edd who was shocked by the sudden touch opened his eyes immediately following the initial touch and looked straight into a pair of emerald eyes. They seemed distraught, but Edd couldn't quite figure out why. Kevin was not one to show any sympathy, or any soft emotions for that matter. It was frustrating. Kevin wasn't having any problems that he knew of and if it was sympathy, it was completely unneeded and unwanted. This thought sent Edd overboard. He was furious. Everything was his fault and here he was, being comforted. It was his fault though! I don't deserve this. If I gave our physical relationship a little more thought, I wouldn't even be in this situation. I like sex; I just don't want it as often as she does. He was never as excited about it like she was. She's smart, funny, and beautiful, so what could the problem be? It all came back to him needing improvement. He never really felt confident during intercourse, maybe that was the issue. This made him even angrier, causing him to start shaking his head furiously.

As Edd continued to rack his brain, Kevin just stared at him. What the fuck is wrong with him? Finally he gave up, he was going nowhere with this. He didn't even hesitate; he just reached out and smacked the shaking boy right upside the head. Edd stopped eyes wide at the sudden impact. He looked up to see Kevin, arm still out reached slightly. He looked extremely annoyed, but now so was Edd. What the hell Kevin!? Edd stayed silent. Before another thought, he returned the gesture with a hard shove in the chest to his attacker, sending him completely off guard and backwards until he was engulfed by water.

Splash!

Kevin was so surprised. Did the dork really just push me? After a moment, he came flailing out of the water trying to get back on his feet. Once he regained his footing he looked up to see Double-D covering his mouth and his face crimson red. He hadn't expected to send Kevin flying. At the most he thought he might move slightly, but to actually fall, it was hysterical and he couldn't hold it in anymore. The dork exploded with laughter at the wide eyed sopping wet macho man in front of him.

Kevin continued to stare at Edd, who to his surprise was still laughing. Normally he would have been pissed. He didn't like being shown up by anyone, especially someone known for their weakness, but the nerve of the dork and how carefree and happy he seemed at the moment washed away any frustration he had. He himself couldn't help from letting out a chuckle. Edd looked up still laughing and watched as Kevin rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

When the laughing finally dialed down, Kevin looked back up at the flushed dork who was now gingerly wiping friendly tears from his face. He noticed Edd's smile start to falter once again, but Kevin wouldn't allow it.

Before Edd could finish clearing his face, he found himself falling backwards and Kevin on top of him. What? Is he tackling me?! Edd instantly reached out and grabbed the redhead, wrapping his arms around him and pulling him along. If he was going down, so was Kevin. The jock felt the arms wrap around his back, one around his waist, while the other reached up and across his back towards his broad freckled shoulder. He reached around cradling Edd's head, as if they were embracing each other. It sent shivers down both boys' spines, but they didn't move an inch as they slammed into the water, wrapped in each other's arms.
