"Oh, my God! Kevie! Look!," Nat squealed.

Kevin sighed as he slowly turned to face his hyperactive friend. If Kevin didn't know any better, he'd sworn that the dye Nat used to keep his hair a fabulous shade of teal was poisoning his brain.

But his eyes went wide and he fell back laughing as he looked at the tshirt Nat was holding up.

It was a plain white Tee, with two yellow arrows pointing at the shoulders, the words Leg Rests printed underneath the arrows.

"Oh, man," Kevin breathed as he pulled himself together. "Should I get it?"

Nat turned red as he tried his best to hold back his own set of squealing giggles and failed. Miserably.

"Hell, yeah! He'll fucking flip."

Kevin snickered as he blushed. All he could see in his head was Edd's wide eyed stare, red face and dropped jaw. And it was a look he needed to see in reality.

Snatching the shirt from Nat's hands, he said, "I'm getting it."

Nat just snatched it back.

"This one is on me. Plus, if he tries to kill you, you can honestly blame it on me," he said as he wrapped an arm around Kevin's shoulders and walked them both to the checkout counter.

Kevin sighed. He knew Nat had a point. He and Edd had been tip-toeing around being a thing since sophomore year of high school. They were now college juniors and their thing had gotten into some serious bromance territory. They always studied together. Kevin's being on the football team and Edd being a tutor at the Student Resource Center was a great cover, except everyone knew. It was kinda hard to hide it.

In high school, they ended up in a lot of the same classes. Edd was always as smart as a whip and Kevin knew he needed a scholarship of some sort to to get to college. And most of the sports scholarships he would qualify for required you to have at least a 3.5 cumulative GPA.

So he busted his ass and gave Edd a run for his money in their history and English classes. But Edd had him in math and science. The only classes they broke even on was art and foreign languages; Edd took French while Kevin took Spanish. They never got super competitive on the field because Kevin played football and baseball to Edd swam with the swim team and ran cross country track. They'd just work out together whenever they could and go support each others events.

When they came out sophomore year, most thought they'd get together. But the long time neighbors had only been friends a couple of years then. Dating just because they were both gay was silly. But they did commiserate, give advice and play wingman whenever they could.

But now….oh, man. With the exception of Nat, Nazz, Angela and Rave, they were the only ones from PCH to make it to USC. Kevin got in on a football scholarship. Edd's was strictly academic, but he did try out for and make the swim team. So now they had plenty of time to really feel each other out. And yeah, they did like each other, but moving past their mutually agreed upon friend zone was proving difficult to say the least. Kevin would flirt and Edd would tease, but nothing more. If things got tense, they'd both back away. It wasn't weird as much as it was awkward. Like, does one really date the person they used to bully or scam? It just didn't seem right.

But one of Kevin's favorite things to do was make Edd squirm. He would get so flustered and it was fucking adorable. Kevin had plenty of dudebro tshirts, but if Edd saw him in this shirt, he'd have a mini meltdown, lecture Kevin on how sexist and misogynistic the tshirt was and it would just turn Kevin ON. And even if he's never acted on it, Edd turning him on was always an awesomething. Kevin couldn't wait to wear it!

A couple of days later, Kevin wore the shirt and while he got some eye rolls, mostly from girls, (but who cares about them when you're gay?), he got even more high fives (one was from Ang and Rave actually smirked when he saw him) and dammit all if the cutie from the track team didn't buy him lunch and lay on the sassy flirting so thick that Kevin's teeth actually started to hurt. Or maybe that was because he kept clenching his jaw to keep his giggles contained.

But the icing on the cake that was this glorious fall afternoon, was walking across the quad after his last afternoon class and spotting Edd reading under his favorite tree. The bell chiming in the clock tower, made Edd bring his nose out of his book and that's when he spotted Kevin.

The genius cocked his head to the side and smirked as he took Kevin and his group of friends in. He rolled his eyes as he packed up his book and that smirk turned into a devious grin as he walked over to where Kevin and his friends were standing.

Kevin froze. He was not expecting this reaction. And the group of football players held their collective breath as Edd strode up to them, a wicked grin on his face and a devilish spark in his sky blue eyes.

He walked straight up to Kevin and said, "If you really wanted me to put my legs on your shoulders, Kevin, all you have to do is ask. I'll be at your room at 7 per our usual plan and I want pizza."

And then he walked away.

"Dude," Nat asked as he pulled out his phone and tapped on the Domino's app, "what's he like on his pizza?"

That tshirt is now Edd's favorite night shirt.
