"I don't care what you do as long as you don't get in my way" Edd huffs before stomping off towards the locker rooms. "Hey Eddy!" he calls out. The shortest Ed turns around just in time to catch a glimpse of Edd's infuriated face before he's knocked to the floor with a sucker punch.
Kevin, Nat, and Nazz follow at a distance, following Kevin's advice to not interfere unless absolutely necessary. Seeing Edd land a solid punch into Eddy's jaw almost sent them into hysterical laughing fits. "What the hell, Double D?! What's your problem?!" Eddy cried out angrily from the floor.
"You are! Why are you trying to ruin my life?!" Edd asks as he towers over him.
"Ruin?! I'm trying to stop you from making a HUGE mistake!"
"The only mistake I seem to have made is remaining your friend for so long!"
Eddy's face burned red with anger. "Then why did you lie to your boyfriend for sooo long about being my said 'friend'? How can you even think about trusting him?! He bullied and abused us for years, D! All of a sudden, he pops up as gay and now you riding his dick every other night?? He's using you! He doesn't want you for the long haul! He wants nothing more than to fuck you and leave you!"
"I didn't lie! I've tried for a whole YEAR! I've tried to get you two to see eye to eye and you've done nothing but make every slur in the book against us! The only reason he ever laid a hand on me was because of you! Not once did he ever hit me when you weren't around. That's why I trust him. I'm gay and I am in love with Kevin. If you can't accept that then get out of my life!"
"I don't give a shit if you're gay! I give a shit if you are gay with Kevin Barr! King of the Asshole Jocks! I just want my best friend back but I can't get you away from him for more than twelve seconds! You're always with him and I haven't spent any time alone with you since you and him got together! He will never like me and I can't like him but I don't understand why what should affect US. But if that is what you want, then fine" Eddy sighs sadly and turns to walk away.
"If you wanted to spend time with me, you should have told me Eddy! I never wanted you two to become best friends. I just wanted you both to be able to sit in the same room without trying to kill each other!" Edd says to Eddy's back.
"I can but can you stop him from attacking me?" Eddy asked with a sniff.
"No" Kevin comes around the corner and stands beside Edd with his arms crossed. "You set my bike up to be damaged! It's going to take months and thousands of dollars to fix!"
"Kevin, stop" Edd moves to stand between the two. "Eddy, we know that you had a part in damaging Kevin's motorcycle. Can you agree to put the time and money into fixing it?"
"I can offer my help, but that's it. I have my money tied up into other commitments..."
Kevin scoffed "I don't need nor want your money or your help. I doubt you can bring anything to the table that me, Edd, and our families don't have. Thanks anyway, just keep you're fuckin' hands off my shit."
"Kevin, what can he do so that you both can be cordial?"
"Cordial? Not be around..." Kevin sighed, noting the hopeful look in Edd's eyes and his resolve crumbled. "As long as he doesn't hurt you or talk about us, I'm fine. I can be civil... but the second he steps out of line, I'm taking him out and Nazz and Nat will help!" he motions behind him, gesturing to the two behind the next row of lockers.
Edd sighs at his grinning boyfriend. "And Eddy? What will it take for you to be cordial to Kevin?"
"I just wanna spend time with you like we used to, D... that's all..."
