Because of AP Exams scattered throughout the week, the boys saw less of each other than usual. Edd ended up missing a lot of their study sessions since he was in the testing hall for another exam. Tuesday, after lunch, Edd opens his locker and an index card comes fluttering out. Edd scrambles to catch it, and immediately recognizes it as one of the cards he made with Kevin. He flips it over and sees that atop the correct answer was "COLD WAR?" written in blue highlighter.

Edd bit his bottom lip, and grinned to himself, before he realized that he had a study session immediately after school. Edd jumps when he feels a hand grab his waist. He spins around sees Kevin grinning at him. Kevin then looks down at the card, and says, "So… did you get-"

"Sorry, Kevin, but I believe this answer is incorrect." He hands the flashcard back to Kevin.

Kevin's face falls. "Wait… like the actual answer or your answer for meeting up after school and…"

"Both. Unfortunately."

"Ah." Kevin says, pocketing the card. Edd felt a little bad and wanted to say something to cheer Kevin up. But before he could Kevin quickly leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. "Maybe next time then."

As Kevin leaves to go to the lunchroom, Edd starts looking around in a panic. He struggles to calm down even though it seems as if no one had noticed the recent display of affection.

By the time Wednesday rolled around, Edd had only seen Kevin once that day, sitting on the other side of the testing hall. As they leave the testing hall, Edd slows his pace until Kevin catches up.

"So how was it?"

Edd shrugs. "I felt prepared, though that Cold War question was difficult. Might need to look that one up after school."

A few nearby students who overheard started arguing over which question and whether or not it was difficult. Kevin just leaned in and said, "No, I agree. It was quite… hard… so to speak."

Edd couldn't help his quiet giggle before he turned away towards his locker, blushing all the while.

After school, Edd found himself waiting in the restroom in the science wing. Soon, Kevin comes jogging in, and immediately goes to hug Edd. As he does so, he kisses and nips along Edd's neck, making him moan softly and squirm against his arms. Kevin slowly makes his way up towards Edd mouth, but before he can fully kiss him, they hear a voice far too close.

"Kevin, you in here!?"

Kevin pulls back, muttering profanities under his breath.

"Is that that Nathan kid?" Edd asks worriedly, and as soon as Kevin started to nod, Edd dashed into the last stall, locking himself inside. Edd quickly pulls out his handsanitzer and starts disinfecting his hands from touching the stall door.

"I thought I saw you come in here." Edd freezes at the sound of the unwelcomed voice.

"You stalking me now?" Kevin sounded extremely annoyed.

"Uh, yeah, of course! Ever since you told me you finally landed a date with that cutie you've been crushing on for forever. I gotta help my-"

"Will you shut up!"

"What!? It's just us! It doesn't matter if-"

"It does matter, so shut it!" Kevin grits out.

"Fine, whatever, lets go get you some nice digs for tomorrow."

"Nat. We don't need to-"

"WE MUST! I need retail therapy after that exam."

"Fine, but in an hour maybe?"

Edd assumes Nat must have started to leave, because his voice sounded farther off. "No can do. Got dinner with Grams tonight. We're going NOW, bitch."

Edd stands there, scared to leave the stall, but also a bit thrilled at hearing about Kevin's crush on him. Soon, his phone buzzes. Edd sees there were messages from Kevin and frowns in worry.

Kev: I don't remember seeing Nat's name in the list of answers for "Reasons why the Cold War ended"

Kev: But tomorrow…?

Edd quietly leaves the stall and confirms that Nat had indeed left the restroom, possibly dragging Kevin with him. And knowing him, it might have been literal too.

Edd shoots him a quick text as he leaves to go home.

Edd: Yes, tomorrow.

As he walks, he gets a sudden urge to toy with Kevin, so he sends a follow-up.

Edd: Care to elaborate on what Nathan was saying about crushing and new digs and whatnot?

Edd got a reply once he started unlocking his door, laughing so hard he ended up dropping his keys.

Kev: Nope

Kev: No

Kev: IGNORE HIM

Thursday, after school, Edd tells the other Eds he wants to discuss some of the test questions with his teacher after school, so they left for the cul-de-sac without him. Edd instead lags behind at his locker, waiting for Kevin to show up. They walk towards the cul-de-sac, making idle gossip. It was like the rare occasions when they walked home together prior to Senior Night, just friendly conversations and no touching. Except now, Edd kept thinking about how he wanted to touch Kevin, to kiss him, since it's no longer a fantasy, but a reoccurring event.

As if reading his mind, Kevin tugs Edd into the lane just behind the cul-de-sac. He leans up against the fence and pulls Edd up against him. Kevin starts kissing him immediately, and Edd feels himself relax up against Kevin, a part of him not caring that they were still in public.

Kevin held Edd by his hips, but slowly moved a hand back until he was grabbing Edd's butt. Edd gasps and leans back, breaking the kiss and dislodging Kevin's hand.

"Sorry," Kevin laughs with not an ounce of remorse.

Edd rolls his eyes and leaves the lane, Kevin following close behind.

Kevin ended up behaving more during the actual date. All throughout dinner and the movie, he only made a few flirtatious comments and a few casual touches. If it wasn't for that, and their recent intimate history, Edd would almost feel like this was more like hanging out than an actual date. But he didn't mind that too much, enjoying Kevin's company was enough. But as soon as the credits started rolling on screen, Kevin leaned over and started kissing Edd. Edd complied, hoping the theatre was dark enough to hide their deed. When an after credits scene appeared, Edd broke the kiss, claiming he wanted to watch it.

He could barely see Kevin's pout in the dim light, so he added, "Stop that. We can continue at my place."

Kevin smirks and settles back into his seat.

Once they make it back to Edd's place, they race upstairs to his room. While they were out in public, Edd felt that he had an image to uphold. But being with Kevin like this made him just want to give in to desire. And now since they're alone, he decides to go for it.

Kevin starts to sit on the edge of the bed, but Edd shoves at him lightly, forcing him to lay on it. He finds himself at a lack of control, his composure lost to his lust, and climbs on top of Kevin.

He starts to rake his fingers through Kevin's hair, knocking his hat askew. Kevin moans softly as he starts kissing Edd. With slow wandering hands, and the occasional bucking of hips, the two boys took their time making out. Soon, Edd sits up and removes his shirt. In his haste, his hat comes off with it. He quickly tries to cover it, but Kevin sits up, grabbing his hands.

"Why do you always try covering up your head?" Kevin slowly lets go of Edd's hand when he starts tugging.

Edd pulls his hair back a little. "Asides from my unmanageable wavy hair, there's this." He points to a small scar on his temple. "I know it's a lot smaller and faded now, but I still can't help feel the need to cover it."

Kevin leans up and runs his fingers through Edd's hair, causing him to shiver at the touch. He then pulls Edd's face down towards him until he can kiss at the scar. Kevin then removes his own hat and shirt, saying, "There. Now we match."

Edd breathes out a laugh, feeling a bit better at the way Kevin had treated him so gently, appreciating the parts of him he thought was flawed.

Edd pushes against Kevin's shoulders, making him lay back down. He lowers himself again and starts kissing him, soon moving his mouth over to his neck. He works his way down until he's sucking a hickey into the skin of his chest, his hands wandering lower until they are toying with the top of his pants. Edd moves his mouth away from Kevin's chest, maneuvering back up his body so he can whisper against his neck.

"So, you said something on the senior trip about wanting to do this for years."

Kevin nods, breathing out a moan as Edd reaches over and plays with one of Kevin's nipples.

"I thought you just meant the physical stuff, but Nathan said something about a crush…?"

Edd giggles at the way Kevin groans in annoyance. "Don't ever say his name in bed again. But yeah. I've liked you a lot… for a while now…"

"Is that so?" Edd asked, before kissing his neck and trailing his hand down to rest atop Kevin's erection.

Kevin breathes out a lustful sigh. "Yeah. I've admired you for so long. And I really appreciate and value you as a person, a friend, but…"

"But what?" Edd asked nervously.

"But with the way you're touching me right now, I'm about to lose my cool and do other kinds of things to you."

"Go ahead…" Edd breathes out, rutting up against him.

Kevin moans, before pushing at Edd's shoulder. Edd sits up a little and looks curiously down at Kevin.

"Though I want to… I've just been thinking that I need to be a bit more respectful. Teasing you at school when I know you don't like that, and then what we did at your door the other day… This is probably why you thought it was just me wanting to get in your pants and not a real crush."

Edd looks at him softly. "True. And I do appreciate it. But it's okay now. You can do what you want to me."

Kevin bites his lip and grips Edd's waist. "What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to have your way with me," Edd says, crawling over Kevin to kiss him again.

Kevin grabs him by the face and kisses him fiercely, Edd rutting up against him. Kevin helps increase the friction by gripping Edd's ass, pushing him down a bit.

"I do want to do more with you, as long as you're okay with it. Completely and truly okay with it."

Edd thinks for a moment before saying, "Okay… well… what's the first thing that comes to mind right now if I said I really want you to do what you want, whatever you want."

Kevin quickly moves one of his hands from Edd's ass, reaching between them, until he's gripping Edd's cock through his jeans. "This. In my mouth."

Edd gives a few breathy gasps at the feel and the forwardness. "Then so be it."

Kevin stares at him incredulously.

"I'm serious! If you want to suck me off, please do so."

Edd soon found himself being rolled off of Kevin and pushed back onto the bed. Within moments, Kevin had his own pants off and was working on sliding Edd's down his thighs. He mouths at Edd's tip through the underwear, causing Edd to breath out hard, a small whine from the back of his throat.

Kevin laughs softly at him before yanking Edd's underwear down, Edd's dick bouncing a little after being freed in such a manner.

Kevin uses his hands to pump Edd's length a few times before looking up at him from beneath his eyelashes. "You sure about this."

Edd nods fervently, but soon throws his head back onto his pillow, a loud moan escaping his lips. He's never been touched like this before. Never had anyone touch his penis directly and had only imagined what it would feel like. But now he's skipped over the play touches and teases he's daydreamed about and went straight to knowing what it would feel like to have someone's, Kevin's, mouth on his member. The heat and the wetness were all too much for Edd, and he found himself struggling not to buck up into Kevin's mouth, not to make too much noise, not to squirm and whine and grip at his sheets too roughly. Perfect and proper Edd was failing at all of that.

And he loved it.

When Kevin started to mouth only at his tip, his tongue relentless against the slit, while his hand worked the rest of the shaft, Edd found himself teetering on the brink of an orgasm. He reaches down to stop Kevin, but instead just tangles his fingers into his hair. Kevin moans at the sensation, sending vibrations through Edd's cock, one sensation too many for him.

"Kevin, stop!... I… I'm about… to…"

Kevin moans in response, soon taking in the entire cock repeatedly.

Edd whines for him to stop, to pull off, but Kevin just keeps going, not moving his mouth away until after he had swallowed all of Edd's semen.

Edd breathes hard, closing his eyes. He can feel Kevin shift in his bed, moving besides him. Edd takes a few steadying breaths, trying to gain his composure.

That has got to be the most intense orgasm I have ever had by far, and watching Kevin eagerly take it all like that did not help one bit.

Edd hears panting and a small needy whine next to him, and he shoots his eyes open. He feels his lust begin to rise before he even looks. He turns his head to see Kevin lying next to him, his underwear rucked down to just below his balls. He's slack-jawed and breathing hard. He has one arm reaching up to grip at Edd's pillow, while the other is furiously stroking his leaking cock.

Edd sits up in bed quickly, and Kevin peeks an eye open at him. He slows his motions quite a bit, but still continues to jerk off.

"Sorry, that was just… it was really hot… so I…"

"And this is really hot," Edd says quickly, nodding towards Kevin's still moving hand.

Kevin chuckles a little before saying, "So you don't mind if I…"

Edd shakes his head and moves himself over Kevin's lap. "No, but I prefer to help."

Kevin quirks an eyebrow at him, looking quite pleased, before allowing his hand to fall at his side. Edd quickly replaces it with his own. Kevin rolls his head back and moans loudly. He reaches up with both hands, gripping the pillow and his fringe.

Edd is transfixed, watching the muscles in his arms and chest move with his motions. He feels Kevin buck his hips a few times, and wonders what it would feel like to have Kevin buck inside him. He moves his hands more vigorously, Kevin writhing with pleasure beneath him. He glances down at Edd, and Edd is blown at the sight. Kevin, the coolest kid he knows in school, the one that appeared so laid back, is whining and thrusting and becoming a complete mess, all because of Edd.

Kevin then tears his eyes away, screwing them shut as he groans loudly. Edd looks down, and briefly has a thought about bending down and taking Kevin into his mouth. But before he could act on it, he feels the pulse, and soon Kevin is ejaculating across his own abs.

Edd slows his motion and allows Kevin to ride out the rest of his orgasm. As Kevin tries to catch his breath, a silly grin on his face, Edd stands and fixes his pants. He leaves and goes to get a wet washcloth for Kevin. As Kevin wipes himself off, Edd blurts out, "I can't believe you swallowed!"

Kevin laughs loudly. "I figured you'd appreciate it, less mess."

Edd shakes his head and giggles. "I suppose."

"Have you never…" Kevin makes an obscure gesture with his hand.

"I don't know what exactly you're asking, but this was a lot of firsts for me," Edd replies as he changes into his pajamas. He looks back at Kevin to see him grinning at him. "Don't let that go to your ego now."

Kevin stands, grabbing Edd and kissing him roughly. "Too late."

It takes them a while to get ready for bed, Kevin struggling to keep from kissing and touching Edd. Once they did manage to make it into bed, Kevin immediately pulls Edd to his chest.

"Bed's a bit smaller than the hotel one. Sorry about that," Edd mumbles.

He feels Kevin shrug. "That doesn't matter. It's preferable actually."

"Preferable?"

"Yeah. Makes it easier to keep you close."

Kevin squeezes his shoulders, and Edd grins.

He still doesn't know where all this is coming from, what exactly is going on between them, but he sure is enjoying it.

-the end-
