Love on the brain

The day of the trial for Edd's mother came quickly and Edd was not prepared to lie in front of a whole jury. He looks back at Kevin showing all the worry in his face before he steps out of the trial room that is full of chitter chatter since nothing has actually started yet. The dork runs to the restroom and straightens his tie as he looks himself in the mirror. He's not sure if he's more anxious over the fact he's lying or the fact he's not wearing his beanie which is basically an attachment to his body in public (minus working at the club, it's dark and most people are drunk so it eases his anxieties.)

Edd washes his face and takes deep breaths in and before he knows it he's wiping tears away from his crystal blue eyes. He doesn't even know why he's crying anymore but he knows something just doesn't feel right. Now that he thinks about nothing's felt right since Kevin started working at the restaurant. Before Edd knows it he's sitting on the floor of the restroom he would usually deem 'too filthy' but he can't help it. He feels too weak to stand. Now that he's thinking he can't stop. Not only is Kevin not here right this moment knowing he ran out so he didn't break down and start hyperventilating in the court room but lately he's been so...unloving. That word hurts to even think about but it fits properly. Edd feels unloved. Edd feels alone.

Kevin hears sobbing from the other side of the bathroom wall and his heart hurts, he can't help but notice he's been lacking in giving his boyfriend attention lately but can you blame him? Actually, Yes you can. That is not the point, Kevin has been ignoring him because he's terrified of slipping up and saying something about his recent actions. He loves Edd, he truly does and now is his chance to show him.

Kevin busts through the door before shutting it and locking it before picking up the dork effortlessly. "K-Kevin?" Edd sniffles looking up and before he can say anything else Kevin clashes his lips against Edd's desperately kissing him pouring all his feelings into it.  Edd gasps for air momentarily before kissing back as tears stream down his face. Kevin then places him on the edge of the sink as the dork wraps his legs around his red headed lover. Kevin breaks the kiss but keeps his face close to Edd's he looks at him and sees the hurt in his lover's eyes and he knows he's caused this all. "I'll be right back." He says quietly before stepping out.

Once Kevin is out there he calls Devon. "Kevin Barr. What can I help you with today? Would you like some more of the good stuff or perhaps you would like to request a certain lady to work with to-"

"I'm quitting. Keep your women, keep your money, keep your drugs." Kevin says and you can hear the hostility in his voice mostly because he hates himself and what he's become because of this man and the job. Devon isn't really that much at fault however, he did take the job and opportunities. Kevin is going to make everything right, right now though. The other side of the line is silent for a long moment before a deep chuckle is heard. "Very well Mr. Barr." Devon says and Kevin quirks his brow even though he knows the boss can't see. "That's it? That's all it took?" He asks actually surprised. "Yes of course. However, you'll be back. College is expensive." And with that Devon hangs up.

Kevin sighs he's honestly relieved and with that he steps back into the bathroom and picks Edd back up in his arms and spins him around and smiles genuinely for the first time in a long time hearing Edd giggle and seeing how happy he is in this moment. Finally, Kevin knows he made a good choice and now he is hoping to make another. "Edd, I love you. I'm no good without you so please....just bare with me through the good and the bad and all the in betweens in life." Kevin smiles and places his lover down and grips the back of his head nervously before digging in his pocket finding a stray piece of string. He then takes Edd's hand and ties it into a bow on his left ring finger. "Sorry I don't have anything fancy right now but I wanted to promise that I won't ever leave you babe. This is just a place holder for now... Eddward Marion Vincent, will you Marry me please, eventually?" Kevin says as he gets down on one knee.

Edd tears up and covers his mouth as his eyes fill up with tears. Sure, this isn't the ideal proposal but it was exactly what he needed, Kevin is exactly what he wants and needs. He cannot find words so he just nods. Kevin gets up and hugs his now fiancé tightly sobbing lightly. This is definitely the start of a better chapter in his life. He now just hopes his addiction will be easy to overcome. For now though, he's okay because he has Edd and Edd has him, forever.
