Once Edd and Thomas were alone, Thomas asked "Are you okay? Kevin will be alright, he's a tough kid." Edd nodded but remained quiet. He stared out of the window and watched the trees fly by without really looking at them.

Meanwhile, Kevin was resting in one of the ER rooms while his Mother bussed around the room and fussed with him some more. "Ma, would you stop it?! For the love of God... let me rest!"

"Not until I know that you're completely comfortable! Here, let me go get you another pillow. And another container of water. You need to stay hydrated so you won't scar. Are you hungry? Do you need to go to the restroom? Can I get you any snacks?"

"Mom! Sit down! That is what I need the most right now! Sit!"

"No! How do you expect me to stay still when my baby boy is in the emergency room?!"

"Because I am only here for a little bit, I'm not being admitted. We just gotta wait for Edd and Thomas to get back! Now relax, please! I don't want you popping early!"

"Do you want to be admitted? I can get you the nicest room available. You may need to stay overnight for that concussion. What if you have brain damage? Here, count to one hundred for me and recite the Constitution."

"Why don't I say the alphabet backwards too? Can never be too sure!" Kevin rolled his eyes. "No Ma, I wanna go home and rest."

"That's a good idea! I taught you how to recite those years ago, you should still be able to do it! Come on, let's do it together. Z...Y.." Kathleen began to chant.

"I'm disowning you... get out" kevin muttered with a tired sigh.

"That didn't sound like a letter. Keep going! R...Q...P...O..."

Kevin groaned and laid back, wishing Edd was here by him. He heard his mother sigh before sitting down. "Thomas took Edd down to the station for questioning and statements. You're wanting to press charges, right?"

"Yeah, I can't believe Eddy took a hit out on me!"

"Neither can I... I'm just thankful you both are alive. That situation could have turned deadly" Kathleen sighed. The curtain suddenly opened and a tear stained face entered the room. Cerulean eyes looked up and glimmered a little as they locked with emerald ones. "K-Kevin..." Edd sniffed, stepping closer to the bed but keeping a distance.

"Edd? C'mere..." Kevin holds his hand out, reaching for him. Edd cautiously approached Kevin and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Are you okay?" Kathleen fussed around Edd, making sure he is alright until Thomas came in and stopped her. Before he could drag her out she called back "Your mother is on the way back into town and your father is in surgery. They will be here to see you as soon as soon as they can!" as the door shut. They were finally alone.

"Edd? What's wrong?" Kevin asked as tears started to roll down Edd's cheeks.

"I'm weak... I couldn't help you when you needed me the most and I'm so sorry!" Edd said through broken sobs.

"Baby, I'm not mad at you. You did everything you could... you knocked one of them out cold!"

Edd grinned a little and looked up. "I did, didn't I?" he sniffed. "I didn't know you saw that."

"I was keeping an eye on you. I was terrified that they were going to hurt you."

"If it meant making them stop, I would have gladly taken a beating" Edd reached up and gently touched the bandage above Kevin's eye. "You know I didn't plan on leaving you, right? I was planning on blindsiding Eddy when we were far enough away."

"I know, I was just so out of it. I don't really remember much right now. Ma said it will return like Rave's. Just gotta rest and get some lovin'" Kevin smirked.

"Rest, yes. 'Loving,' no. I refuse to have relations with you while in a hospital" Edd said with a cross of his arms and a little "hmph."

"I'm not admitted, I'm just staying here until the doctor releases me. Then I'll be home bound... all weekend... with you..." Kevin leered at the smaller teen.

"And you'll be in bed...all weekend...being carefully monitored and watched...by our mothers and myself."

"Damnit... I was beaten up and I don't even get any kind of love?!" Kevin pouted as Miriam and Michael came rushing in and started dotting over Edd. "Are you okay? Did those boys touch you?"

"I'm fine, Kevin took the brunt of it all" Edd pointed out.

Michael was already looked over his charts and handed them to his wife. He gave Kevin a good once over before smiling "Well, nothing that bed rest can't fix. You will have to take a few days off school but I'm sure we can get a tutor for you so you don't fall behind in your studies." He glanced over to his son to see his face lighten up with a smile.

"I'll volunteer to tutor him. There's so much that you needed to catch up on anyway!" Edd grinned.

"You're too happy about that..." Kevin groaned. Within the next few hours, Kevin was back in his own bed and surrounded by his dogs and boyfriend. "Does it feel better now? Knowing that Eddy and his crew is behind bars as well as my father?"

"No... because it shouldn't have ever come to this..."

"Well besides that... I feel better knowing that those super dangerous people are off the streets and not trying to hurt us anymore."

"Yes but I feel the same way. I still don't like that this had to happen at all."

"Well, no but at least you know who your true friends are" Kevin left that statement open, giving Edd a chance to think about all the new friends he had gained in the short year they had been together.

Edd nodded slightly in agreement. "You're right, it's still hard losing someone who's been your pseudo brother your entire life. But like you said, I have new friends to replace him."

"Maybe when he gets out he will be a changed man and you'll be friends again..." Kevin suggested but silently hoping that never happens.

"I want him to learn his lesson but I don't want him to live his life in jail" Edd sighed sadly.

"Let's not worry about Eddy and the choices he made that landed us in the hospital and him in jail, hmm? I just wanna concentrate on us."

"I'm sorry" Edd said quietly.

"Stop apologizing."

"I'm sorry for being weak, I'm sorry for being too nice, I'm sorry for not listening to you, I'm sorry for letting my guard down, I'm sorry for-" Edd was suddenly cut off by Kevin's kiss.

Kevin slowly broke the kiss and locked eyes with Edd. "Stop it, I love you. You have nothing to be sorry for."

"I love you, too" Edd whispered. "Are you in any pain?"

"No but I could use some loving" Kevin tried again, knowing that it was fruitless.

Edd nodded and slowly took his shirt off. "This kind, correct?"

"Y-yeah...?" Kevin stuttered with a bit of shock.

Edd slipped his pants down then claimed his seat on Kevin's lap. "Do with me what you want. I want to make you feel good."

"I want you to feel good too..." Kevin ran his hands down Edd's sides, coming to rest on his ass.

Edd moaned and rolled his hips a little. "I'd love nothing more. There's only one thing in this world that can really clear my mind..."

"You got my mind pretty clear and focused on you" Kevin muttered leaning in and nipping at Edd's jawline.

Edd giggled and rolled his hips again. "What's it focused on?" he asked innocently.

"My rutting genius in my lap" Kevin smirked.

"What are you going to do about said genius boyfriend?" Edd whispered before kissing down Kevin's neck.

"Planning on pounding him into the mattress... any objections?" Kevin smirked, tilting his head for better access.

Edd's cheeks reddened as he began to place dark marks along Kevin's already bruised skin. "None. At. All." he said between kisses. Kevin moaned, gently pushing Edd back and shedding his shirt to toss it on the floor next to his boyfriend's. Attacking Edd's neck again, he ran his hands up Edd's sides before rolling them to Edd is on his back.

Edd squealed and playfully scratched Kevin's back. "You're about to burst out of those pants." He teased. "Do you want to lose them?"

"Very much so. You gonna help me?" Kevin smirked as he swept Edd up in a passionate kiss. He started to grind his hips gently against the genius' below him with a moan.

Edd's hungry moan sounded throughout the room. His nimble fingers made quick work of Kevin's pants. An innocent glance into emerald eyes and a few descending kisses later, his pouty lips were wrapped around the jock's cock.

Kevin rolled his eyes and leaned back with a curse. "God yes..." Kevin propped himself up on one elbow while the other hand cupped the back of Edd's head. Edd picked up his speed a little and locked eyes with his lover. His tongue swirled around the tip as his fingers set to work fondling Kevin's balls.

Kevin thrust his hips pushing himself further down Edd's throat with a moan. He threads his fingers through the dark hair in front of him, knocking the beanie off in the process.

Edd moaned around Kevin's cock, a slight smirk touching his lips. His free hand traveled up to Kevin's mouth and begged for two fingers to be granted access. Overcome by sensations, Kevin sucked the digits into his mouth, running his tongue over them and biting gently. Once Edd was satisfied, he removed his fingers and popped off Kevin's cock. "Where would you like me to put them?" he asked innocently, kissing Kevin's inner thighs.

"Where did you want to?"

"Well, I was maybe thinking I could put them in you..." Edd blushed.

Kevin's eyes widen in response but he smiles. "O-okay..."

"Really?! Alright, let me know if I need to stop" Edd placed a finger at Kevin's entrance and pushed just the tip in. His soft lips returned to Kevin's cock and he began to bob as his finger set to work teasing the ginger. Kevin laid fully on his back, it was uncomfortable at best but the warm lips on his cock made it bearable. He set his mind to fully concentrate on Edd's mouth and pleasure started to flow again.

Edd hummed softly and added another finger. His digits moved in a scissoring motion, angling at his prostate. Kevin felt a rush of pleasure and his back arched as Edd played his fingers off his bundle of nerves. "Edd! Keep doing that, right there!"

Edd hummed louder and began to deepthroat his lover. He attacked Kevin's prostate straight on, his eyes flicked up to look at the pleasure written on Kevin's face. Every time he felt Edd press against his prostate, he had to bite his lip to muffle his cry. With every thrust, his hazy mind was registering one thing and that was that he wanted more. "More, Edd... more!"

Edd looked up with surprise. He slowly came off the twitching cock and stared at Kevin. "Are you alright with me..." he trailed off.

"Yes, its fine... c'mere and kiss me!" Kevin pulled Edd up and crushed their lips together as Edd slipped his fingers out of Kevin's ass. He moaned into the kiss while he adjusted his boyfriend's legs onto his hips and lined himself up with his quivering pucker. "Tell me if it hurts" he whispered quickly before slowly pushing his tip in.

Kevin quickly remembered to try to relax as to not make it hurt as much. The prep helped but it didn't take it all away. He gripped the sheets tight in his fists and willed himself to relax. "I'm sorry Love, should I stop?" Edd asked gently. He carefully leaned down and captured Kevin's lips in a sweet kiss then nipped down his jaw.

"N-no..." he had handled worse pain than this with a smile, he could do this. He returned the kiss and deepened it briefly "Keep going, I'm okay."

Edd nodded and slowly pushed himself in until he was fully sheathed in Kevin. He stopped once he was hilted and nipped Kevin's ear "Tell me when to move."

Kevin moaned and wrapped one arm around Edd's neck, bringing him in for a deep kiss. "Move" he whimpered. Edd slowly pulled out and pushed back in as he returned the kiss. Once he felt Kevin's muscles relax around him, he picked up his speed little by little.

Both of Kevin's legs wraps around Edd's waist to pull him into him more. His back arched as he felt Edd press at his prostate, pleasure ripped through Kevin's spine and coiled in his belly. "Edd..." he moaned.

Edd looked into Kevin's eyes and blushed at the lustful orbs staring back at him. "Kevin, you feel amazing..." he hooked an arm under Kevin's thigh and hiked it up. The new angle allowed him even more access.

"Edd, fuck..." Kevin's eyes roll back as his back arches again. He grips himself with a shaking hand, stroking himself in time with Edd's thrusts. "Edd, please... more..." Kevin reaches up and bites into Edd's neck.

"Does it really feel that good?"

Kevin moans as Edd pushes up against his prostate again. "Yesssss~"

"I-I'm glad" he blushed. "I want you to feel...like how I do with you..." he reached down and began stroking Kevin's cock.

"Edd, I can't last much longer..." Kevin moaned.

"I...I'm close too..." Edd panted. "I-I love you...!" he whispered before filling his lover. Kevin moaned Edd's name to the ceiling as he came between them and coated his stomach with his own seed. Panting, he brings Edd's face to his in a soft kiss.

He pulled out of Kevin and admired his thoroughly sated boyfriend for a moment before grabbing some tissues and cleaning them off. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I feel amazing. Do I make you feel like that? Even if I make you feel a fraction of that I'll be happy!"

Edd giggled and nuzzled into Kevin's neck. "You make me feel like that all of the time, Love. I'm glad I could show you how you make me feel."

"I do a damn good job!" he claimed proudly. "But I'm stiff. I might need some pain killers actually."

Edd kissed Kevin then sat up "I'll go get them for you." He quickly threw on a shirt and some shorts then went downstairs only to return a short while later with Kevin's meds and some water. "Here you go, Love."

Kevin gratefully took the meds and laid back, tired enough to let Edd tend to him. He knew Edd still felt guilty about the whole thing, and while it would take some time, Kevin promised himself that he would do whatever he could to help.

The whole cul-de-sac seemed to have tipped on its axis just because two boys fell for each other and took a chance at happiness. Nat and Rave would be released from the hospital and while Nat would not return to football, he would be more focused on taking over the family business. Rave would return to his moody self and work hard to be the actor that he had always admired.

Nazz and Josh would head off to college together and eventually get married. Edd will never admit it but he did cry a bit when they were taking their vows. During the reception is when Kevin solidified the idea to marry his dork. And a year later, he proposed at their spot under the stars. The spot held a lot of good memories, far outweighing the few bad ones. With more tears in his eyes, Edd choked out a 'yes' and they rushed back to their apartment to make love.

With Ed as Edd's best man and Nazz as Kevin's best girl, they took the vows that would unite them together forever. They knew that that could get through anything together and they would. Love will always pull through and will always be strong enough to conquer anything.

Now it's just the talk of babies…?
