Thinking Out Loud

Start from the beginning
                                    

"So honey now, take me into your loving arms. Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars. Place your head on my beating heart. I'm thinking out loud!"

Kevin continued to play and sing of how he was going to love Double D even when he had no hair or when Kevin himself could no longer make music with his stringed instrument.

There was at least twenty feet between Double D's table and Kevin's stage, but as the song neared its completion, Double D was sure that he could feel Kevin from across the room. It wasn't just their locked gazes or the words in the song. It was more than that. Double D didn't know how and couldn't exactly explain it, but it was as if there was this invisible and unbreakable tether connecting the two of them, heart to heart, one which they both knew would not weaken for a long, long time.

"Oh baby, we found love right where we are. And we found love right where we are."

When Kevin finished, the cafe's occupants applauded. Eddy whooped and hollered, and Ed shoved another cookie into his mouth, which was a feat because he was grinning like a fool as he did so.

Kevin took an adorable little bow and then set his guitar aside. He made his way over to Double D.

He stood almost anxiously before their table, hands in his pockets.

"So?" he said.

Double D could only blink before he got up from his seat and marched around the table.

"What'd you thi-"

Kevin's words were cut off as Double D crashed into him and sealed their lips together in a tight, passionate kiss. Kevin was sure that his cap looked ridiculous since it was pushed up by Double D's fingers as the man tried to get at the shorts hairs on the back of Kevin's head. Kevin didn't mind, and he put his hands around his lover's thin waist and gave back as much intensity as he received. After several long moments, he reluctantly pulled away, mindful that they were in public.

"So you liked it?"

"Liked? I loved it!" Double D said, his grin huge across his cheeks. "That was amazing, Kevin. Absolutely amazing. Thank you."

Kevin smiled back at him, the skin around his eyes crinkling sweetly. "You're welcome, babe."

"I love you, you know that?"

Kevin nodded and then bumped their noses together playfully. "I love you too. Obviously."

"Where's the ring?!" Eddy teased from his seat at the table.

"Ring?" Kevin asked, confused.

"This was your proposal, was it not?"

Ed popped up at that, chocolate smeared around his mouth. "Proposal? You're getting married, Double D?!"

Double D's face morphed into one akin to fear then and he stiffened in Kevin's arm before he pulled away.

"You're- you are not," he stuttered, winded. "You're not proposing. That wasn't- Was it?"

"Oh, God," Kevin said, taking a second to spare Eddy a hateful glance, and gathering Double D back into his arms. "That is not what that was."

"Kevin. I'm not- I'm not ready for- Marriage?" Double D gasped.

"Edd! Listen to me," Kevin shook him gently yet forcefully. "That was not a marriage proposal. I promise. Not yet, at least. We'll do that after we've discussed it. We will do that when we're ready, okay? Okay?"

It took a minute, but Double D finally came around, regaining control of his breathing, and he nodded his head in confirmation.

"That was just another way for me to say that I love you," Kevin explained, smiling at his boyfriend, making sure he boyfriend understood.

Double D smiled back and nodded again, and then leaned forward to press his face into the side of Kevin's neck, seeking the scent and comfort.

"Kevin, you want cookie?" Ed spoke up loudly, disrupting Kevin and Double D's loving moment as well as all of the conversations going on around the café. "Good cookie! Very good!"

Kevin shook his head.

"Next time," he spoke quietly in Double D's ear. "Leave the clowns at home, all right?"

Double D laughed, and Kevin ignored Eddy as he cursed, having heard him.
