A Work in Progress

Chapter Seventeen: Edd's POV (one week later)

"Kevin, must I really wear this ridiculous outfit? Our friends will laugh at me." I hide in the bathroom as I try to convince Kevin to let me change. I feel absolutely stupid wearing the tight jeans and the ripped shirt that shows my stomach whenever I stretch.

Kevin laughs and opens the door. "I think you look cute my little dork. Just don't stretch or lift your arms up or I'll have to whoop some asses tonight." He kisses my neck and hugs me from behind. Despite my not wanting to wear this outfit I agree to, I'll do anything to see Kevin smile. His smile is something that is not seen often by others but I love when he smiles. It makes his light green eyes shine even brighter.

"Please no fighting tonight, Kevin. I do not like my birthday already." Kevin turns me around and kisses me softly. I automatically return his kiss. I have gotten used to him kissing me. The first two days of our relationship I would shy away from kissing him on the mouth. the mouth can be filled with germs after all. Now, however, I enjoy our kisses together.

"Mmm... Don't worry kid. I won't fight unless you ask me to." I look into his eyes and see that he is serious and he truly means it. I automatically feel better about this outing.

"Thank you Kevin. I do not want to see you get hurt. I do not like when you are hurt." I bury my face in his chest and try not to cry. I always get upset whenever I think about Kevin getting injured in any way. We have only been together for one week and six hours but Kevin means everything to me. He is my sunshine and my happiness all in one. I may love Kevin Burns.
