Lost and Found

Kevin sighed softly as he floated on his back, his eyes drifted close as he listened to Edd swim laps around him. "Hey Dork… Have you ever talked to anyone like me?" He asked as he opened an eye to look at the creature next to him.

Edd stopped swimming and smiled, "No. I've never saved one either before you ask." He said, stopping Kevin's follow up questioned. "My parents would be so disappointed if they found out," He sighed softly. "What should I have done? Let you drown? No one deserves that." He explained with a frown.

Kevin nodded and headed over towards the sand. Sitting in it, he watched Edd follow as if he were a puppy instead of a fish. Relaxing in the warm water, his hand gripped the sand underneath him. "Thanks again for that."

"N-No problem…" Edd mumbled with a blush. Digging around in the sand as well, a smile formed when he found a shell. "Look!" He said excitedly.

Kevin chuckled and leaned forward, his hand lightly held Edd's as he examined the shell. "It does look nice." He nodded before noticing how red Edd's face was turning. "What is it?" He asked with a raised brow.

Edd pulled his hand from the gingers and shook his head. "N-Nothing. Please excuse me…" Backing up, he went deep down underwater, his tail breaking the water surface before disappearing.

Kevin was confused and waited patiently for his fish friend to return. Several minutes passed before Kevin stood up, "That's cool too…" He murmured to himself softly before gathering all of his stuff up. Glancing down at his hand, he stared down hard at it. It was once warm from Edd's hand and now it was beginning to get cold. Running it through his hair, he let out a frustrated sigh. He needed to stop coming here, it wasn't good for him. He couldn't get attached to this thing. Kevin frowned, he wasn't a thing. He was Edd, a blushing half human; half fish that thought looked adorable.

The red head cursed under his breath and got all of his stuff together. Heading out to his motorcycle, he glanced back towards the ocean. He really needed to stop coming here.

oOoOoOo

Kevin panted as he ran towards the edge of the water. "Edd?" He yelled out, worry filling him. This was the third day in a row that Edd hadn't shown up, what if something happened to him? He stepped into the water and called out once more. Minutes of this happened before Kevin sat down with his head in his hands.

Why should he care? It was better this way, wasn't it? The two shouldn't have ever met in the first place. He should have been hanging out with his friends, not this dork. Kevin shook his head slowly, his cheeks burning lightly. Edd was his dork.

How had Kevin gotten attached to him so quickly? Pulling his hair, he sat like that for the longest time before leaving with a frustrated expression. He even kicked the sand a few times.

When the next day came, Kevin headed to the little shack. Giving the man his usual fee, he went in the back to grab his board. Glancing at them all, he noticed the mermaid one. Frowning, he grabbed it. "I'm taking this one today." He said softly and thanked the man.

Leaving the shack, he didn't once glance at any of the cute girls staring at him. He simply ran into the water and began swimming towards the waves. He needed this; this was the only thing that could get his mind off a certain blue tailed dweeb.

Noticing a large wave approaching him, he jumped up. He'd make sure he'd do this right this time. It wasn't like that stupid fish would be here to save him if something happened since he was too busy doing who knows what. Gritting his teeth, the wave hit him but not hard enough to knock him off. Regaining his balance, he rode the wave like a pro. Smirking, he looked around. Not many people get to see this view as the crystal blue water led you through the water.

His body stiffened when he noticed something blue catch in the corner of his eye. Quickly turning, he gasped when his balance was lost. Like the first wave, it quickly took him under water. Looking around, he saw that black hat, those blue eyes, that blue tail. Kevin didn't know how to feel. Should he feel happy since the being he has been looking for had finally reappeared, or should he be mad since Edd came back just because of all this? All he knew was when Edd went to grab him; Kevin wrapped his arms around the smaller boy and hugged him. He didn't care if he ran out of air; he had to get this hug in. He needed it.

Moments passed before Kevin found himself getting dizzy, his arms loosened around Edd. Once more, he felt himself being pulled to shore. Once they were on the sand, Kevin coughed hard and gasped for air, his throat stinging like it had before,

Edd looked at him angrily, clearly frustrated. "Are you an idiot?" He asked, face flaring up. "You almost died last time you did this activity. Why on earth did you return to do it again?" He asked, beginning to lecture him.

Kevin didn't listen to a single word; instead, he grabbed Edd and pulled him up into his chest. He hugged him so hard, "Do you have any idea how worried I was?" He asked softly, one arm wrapped around him while the other arm and hand rested on his head. "I thought something happened to you."

Edd immediately silenced his lecture and blushed heavily. "I can take care of myself Kevin… You don't have to worry…" His eyes closed and rested against Kevin's chest. "Sorry…." He muttered. "Sorry…"

Kevin pulled away slightly and looked at Edd's blushing expression. His heart began picking up, he swallowed hard. "You know… with a face like that, it makes me wanna kiss you." He said softly, his own blush forming.

Edd stared up at him wide eyed before his face only reddened more. "K-K-Kiss?" He asked, lips trembling slightly from nervousness. "I have fish breath," He tried to use as an excuse, "Bad kisser, chapped li-" His words were interrupted by Kevin's warm lips on his. Closing his eyes, his hand ran down Kevin's chest and gripped the sand underneath them.

It took a minute for Kevin to pull himself away. He rested his head on Edd's head, "Now… tell me why on earth you haven't been coming to see me."

Edd frowned, "Me not see you? You haven't been coming to see me!" He huffed, cheeks still burning from the kiss. "After school, I come here every day to be disappointed that you're not here." He explained before hearing a chuckle and seeing a smile on the gingers lips. "Don't laugh!" He pouted.

Kevin hugged him once more; he should have known the dork was a nerd. Of course he had school. He came every morning to try to see him but Edd never showed up. Of course, the one day he came during the afternoon, he'd see him again. Letting out a loud laugh, he did nothing but hug the confused dork. His dork.
