Chapter 1
Eddward Vincent was the school heartthrob. At least he would be if he actually said yes to any girl who asked him out. Tired of girls in his face, he came out as gay during sophomore year, one year earlier. He lost a lot of friends after that. The swim team still talked to him, but only out of obligation due to his spot as captain. Eddy, however, quit talking to him altogether. And Ed followed Eddy, as always. Edd was alone after that.

Kevin Barr always kept to himself. He only talked to anyone if they were beating him up, threatening him, or making him do their homework. He was sick and tired of being everyone's lap dog, but it's not like he could do anything about it. Then he found a solution.

Edd sat in the library reading a book, nestled comfortably in a chair in the far corner. Normally he'd be in the cafeteria picking at his lunch and attempting to tune out the student body, but today he didn't really feel like it. He wasn't hungry and, though the swim team left him alone, the football players still liked to throw homophobic comments his way and take his food. Edd wished he'd never came out, but he was tired of girls never leaving him alone. Now he got the peace he'd wished for; he just wished his solitude wasn't due to his horrible reputation.

He looked up when the door opened. Normally no one came in here during lunch. That was mostly because no one was supposed to be in here; the librarian went to get lunch and Edd picked the lock. When he's not in the cafeteria, he's always breaking in here. Therefore, Edd was startled when he heard someone come in and cursed himself for not locking the door behind him.

Afraid it was the librarian, Edd ducked behind a bookcase.

"I know you're there."

Edd squinted. That wasn't the librarian. In fact, Edd didn't even recognize the voice. If it was one of the homophobes he usually dealt with, he'd know the voice.

He slowly peeked out from behind the bookcase. A few feet away walking toward him was a thin redheaded nerd. Kevin, Edd believed his name was. He knew because jocks were always picking on him and making him do their homework. Edd never needed academic help, nor did he believe him bullying due to being bullied himself, so he left the kid alone.

Kevin stopped, seeing someone peek from their hiding place. He'd recognize that black mop of hair anywhere. Ever since he stopped wearing that beanie in middle school, Kevin hadn't been able to keep his eyes off the boy. He giggled at Eddward Vincent, amused that he'd hidden from a nerd such as him.

"Can I help you?" Edd asked.

Kevin's voice caught for a moment. He'd never been close enough to hear Edd talk. He had such a smooth, deep voice. Paired with his black hair, icy blue eyes, and swimmer's body, Edd was a force of nature.

"You gonna say something, nerd?" Edd tried again impatiently. "You a mute or something?"

"N-no," Kevin answered shakily.

Edd smirked, and approached the boy, much shorter than him. "I'm not gonna hurt you, Kevin. I know what it's like to be bullied."

Kevin almost fainted; Eddward Vincent knew his name! "Because you're gay."

Edd pursed his lips. "Right. If you wanna make fun of me, then have at it. I don't even give a fuck."

"No, I'd never be so insensitive. And not just because I'm acutely aware that you can probably inflict pain on me with one intense glare."

Edd grinned at the redhead. For some reason he liked the way Kevin talked. He spoke fast, flustered just from talking to Edd, and he found it cute that he made the boy so nervous. He also couldn't help but notice how pale the redhead was and how startlingly green his eyes were. This kid was adorable.

Edd leaned sideways on the bookcase looming over the nerd. "So what are you doing in here anyway?"

Kevin's eyes got wide, and he blushed at the close proximity of the attractive swimmer. "W-w-well I could ask you the same."

"I asked you first."

"I knew you'd be in here. I've seen you skip lunch and come in here many times."

"You came in here just to see me? I'm touched."

"I need your help."

"With what?"

"I'm bullied everyday. I'm forced to do homework, shoved into lockers, beaten, and threatened all the time. I just...I can't take it. I'm not strong enough to defend myself. I need you to protect me. If you don't, I understand, but please consider it. I don't know what else to do, and the beatings are getting more servere."

Edd absolutely understood that. The only thing that kept him from suffering the same thing was his strength. No one would challenge him physically; they knew they were pushing it with their verbal bullying. Edd would definitely help Kevin. And he'd have some fun with him in the process.

"What's in it for me?" Edd asked, lifting his hand to trace a finger across Kevin's smooth jaw.

Kevin's breath hitched. "I-I'll do anything you want."

Edd smirked at Kevin's breathlessness. "Good. I'll let you know when the time is right. Until then, stay within my line of vision. I'll keep my eye on you. I promise I will do my best to keep you safe."

Kevin smiled big, his big green eyes twinkling, and threw his arms around Edd in a tight hug. The latter blinked. Edd hadn't been hugged since the last time his parents were in town, and that had been a while back. Enjoying Kevin's warmth, he returned the hug, and smiled when he felt the smaller boy let out a small sigh.

The bell rang, interrupting their moment. The two took a step back, embarressed.

"Come on," Edd said. "I'll walk you to your next class."

Kevin grinned, and the two left the library.
