Kevedd One-shots

The Forth of Edd

Ed joined them nearly half an hour later, out of breath as he slumped into the far chair. "Sarah sure is needy, guys."

"So ditch her next time," Eddy said dismissively.

"I can't do that! She's my baby sister! Plus she'll tell Mom."

"Ed, I think it is quite admirable how devoted you are to your sister. We're just glad you could finally join us," Edd said. He leaned over Eddy to pat Ed's knee. "You arrived just in time, too. By my calculations, the show should begin in approximately ten minutes."

"Hey, dudes!" a voice shouted from behind.

The three Ed's turned to see Nazz skipping up to their chairs. Eddy's face turned red almost instantaneously. She perched herself on the edge of his chair and leaned in.

"How's it going? You guys excited for the show?"

Eddy mumbled something noncommittal and Ed shouted his confirmation. Edd sat back in his chair, a small smile on his lips. He enjoyed watching Eddy grow flustered around Nazz. It was a side of him that no one brought out except the cutesy blonde from the cul-de-sac. He heard Nazz ask Ed where Sarah was. Ed immediately jumped up and ran toward the other end of the lot to show her. She insisted that Eddy come as well, but Edd declined to follow. He watched them for a moment before turning his attention back to the town. In the quickly diminishing daylight, the streets almost looked as if they were on fire. It was really quite beautiful.

Very suddenly everything went black. Edd yelped at the pressure of the blindfold and moved to snatch it away. Strong hands trapped his arms by his sides and lifted. He felt himself carried down the stairs and out onto the street. He was unceremoniously tossed into the back of a truck where he was pulled back into a soft embrace. He breathed deeply and smiled. He would know that scent anywhere.

"Greetings, Kevin," he said. He moved to take the blindfold off, but warm fingers slid into his, preventing it.

"Keep that on, babe. It's a surprise," Kevin said into Edd's ear. He nibbled at the lobe, hugging Edd tightly.

A few minutes later, the truck came to a stop and Kevin threw Edd over his shoulder. He carried him for a few moments and then set him down on a blanket. He turned to wave at Nat as he drove away and then removed the blindfold. Edd gasped. They sat on a secluded hill overlooking the downtown area. The view was stunning.

"Kevin! You set this up for me?" he asked, pulling at Kevin's jeans.

The redhead sat down behind Edd and pulled him back against his chest. "Yep. Do you like it?"

"Of course!" Edd nodded.

"Good. Looks like we were just in time, too."

The sound of the national anthem played through the streets, announcing the beginning of the fireworks show. Edd reached into his pocket for his ear plugs, biting his lip and glancing back at Kevin. Surely Kevin would know better at this point than to tease him for it, but... Oh, no. Edd reached for his other pocket, eyes growing wide as he realized that he must have left the buds in his bag at the parking garage. His stomach twisted into a nervous knot.

"Um, Kevin..."

The first rocket went off in a burst of red and blue, and when the thunderous boom echoed through the town Edd jumped and let out a small scream. He barely had time to recover before the next one hit. He turned and buried his face in Kevin's shirt, pulling his hat down over his ears.

Kevin stared at him, concerned. "Double D? Are you...afraid of fireworks?"

"Just...just the s-SOUND!" he shrieked as a quick succession of explosions sent him scrambling for cover.

Kevin caught him around the waist and pulled him back. He flipped him around to face forward so he could see. He slid his hands up under Edd's hat and pressed his palms against his ears. He waited for a break in the fireworks before lifting his hand slightly and murmuring, "I'm sorry. I didn't know. We can leave if you want."

Slowly, Edd's shaking receded. He was pleasantly surprised to realize that Kevin's hands acted as a sufficient barrier to the sound. "No, it's alright. If you'll cover my ears, I'll be alright."

Kevin grinned and nodded. "Of course, babe."

They watched the fireworks together. When it got particularly loud, Kevin pressed his lips to the back of Edd's neck and rubbed his fingers gently back and forth through the soft hair. The show ended sooner than Edd was expecting, but they didn't move, enjoying the moment together. Kevin slid his hands up, taking Edd's hat off with it, and ran his hands through the hair, pulling Edd in for a kiss. Edd kissed him back, pressing him down into the blanket and climbing on top of him. Kevin's hands trailed lazily down to rest on slender hips while Edd's dipped along the curves of a well-defined chest. After a while, Edd pulled away to lay his head over Kevin's heart.

"Happy Independence Day, Kevin."

"You, too. Dork."
