I know I know a lot of you are probably confused right now. Yes, this story is completed but I wanted to do something special because THE WEEKEND HIT 20K READS!!! I cannot thank you all enough for the support so here is my gift to you, the story behind their first kiss. This takes place about a year before the events of the main story line, ENJOY 💕💕

"Kevin, Eddward, I'm pairing you boys together to work on this project" The teacher says handing over a packet and The ginger groans quietly trying to hide the fact he's actually excited as Eddward smirks. "Meet at my house around 6 pumpkin. Oh and don't be late" with that the swimmer walks off as the little redhead's eyes trail down to watch the way he walks away as he turns deep red in the face.

"Kev Kev! earth to Kev!" Nazz says waving her hands in the gingers face. Kevin looks up slowly clearly focused on something else "what?" He asks and she giggles "dude you've been zoned out for all of lunch now!" The ginger then lifts up his cap and scratches at his head "sorry I'm just focused on other things I guess..." Nazz tilts her head in confusion at this "is it Eddward? Is he harassing you again?" The mention of Eddward's name makes the small redhead blush again. Nazz the sighs "Kev...why." Good question, why indeed. Kevin can't help but think to himself. The swimmer hasn't done anything in particular but something about him...does things to the timid ginger. "We are just working together for a project and you know how shy I am around people I don't really know..." Kevin lies and Nazz furrows her brow but keeps silent until the end of lunch when she says "Just...be careful I don't want to see you getting hurt." The blonde says quietly before getting up to head to class.

Once the day is over Kevin heads home "causal? Sporty? Uhhhh this?" The redhead says holding some outfits up to himself in the mirror and shaking his head before smacking his face between his two hands "Get it together, it's just working on something together...nothing more, nothing less." He says to himself throwing on a green t-shirt and dark blue jeans and he looks at the clock. "Lets do this." He encourages himself.

"5:59 and 59 seconds and....6." Eddward says opening his door to see the redhead standing there about to knock and he chuckles "pumpkin! Just on time~" The swimmer purrs pulling the small dork inside as he squeaks a little. "Now then the packet please." The Raven says holding out his hand and Kevin takes it out handing it over. "Sit over there and I will be done in just a moment" Eddward states motioning to the couch as the redhead sits down confused but he keeps quietly fiddling with his hands honestly a little anxious to be in -the- infamous Eddward's home. Sure he lives across the street and has since the ginger moved there but he's only caught glimpses into the home, now...he's here. His heart? It's racing it feels like it's about to pound out of his chest. Why does Eddward look so calm? Why does Eddward look so....attractive. The little ginger blushes slightly watching as the swimmer flips to the final page of the packet completing it and handing it back to Kevin who's jaw is dropped in shock. "What?" Eddward asks with a quirked brow.
"Y-you finished it that quickly?! Alone!!" The small redhead asks in amazement. He knew Eddward was smart but now he sees just how smart he also sees why he's the top of their class as well. "Well...I should get going then..." Kevin says getting up to leave. "Oh no pumpkin, you're all mine for the rest of the night~" the swimmer purrs pulling the ginger back to the couch and making him sit. "I'm ordering us some food." Eddward states before exiting the room.

Kevin sits there in shock wondering what is going on. He thought that they would work on the packet together and then go their separate ways only to see each other at school and outside of their homes.  The shark however? He had different plans. The little ginger starts to feel nervous suddenly realizing that he's now no longer working on the project with Eddward but rather now he's about to "hang out" with him, the boy who he's had a crush on for as long as he can remember. Eddward is so hard to read however, he seems to like him by the way he pins him to lockers and forces him to watch his swim meets I mean he calls him pumpkin for fucks sake...however he's never made any actual moves on him even now that they have gotten closer over the past year. No hand holding, no putting his arm around him, no hugging, no kissing.....the ginger shakes his head and slaps his cheeks. No need to be thinking about silly things like that, the Raven doesn't even like boys, right? I mean Eddward does have girls constantly hanging around him...

Kevin's train of thought is then broken by Eddward stepping back into the room. "I assume pizza is fine pumpkin, correct?" He asks and the small redhead jumps at the sudden deep voice and he nods. "Why is your face so red?" The swimmer asks sitting down on the couch causing Kevin to move slightly to the other side. "N-No reason."
"You know pumpkin we've been hanging out a lot recently, I mean not here obviously but after school, so why do you still sit so far away from me." Eddward asks with a furrowed brow. The ginger thinks long and hard and he realizes Eddward has a point. They have been and the ginger has actually learned quite a lot about the swimmer but he still feels so nervous, ah right it's because he's in love with him.
"Is it because you have feelings for me?" Eddward asks as if he can read minds. "You know our project is due tomorrow and we won't have an excuse to hang out here again..." the swimmer continues and the ginger looks up at him confused, what is he rambling on about. This project was only supposed to take a night anyway...wait does he actually like hanging out here? Kevin questions to himself. "Well that doesn't mean we can't hang out I mean we already do but we can always hang out here..." the small redhead finally speaks and the raven's eyes widen and he smirks. "You never answered my question..." he says and notices Kevin's cheeks turn bright pink. Just then the door bell rings, saved by the bell...literally.

The raven grabs the food and motions Kevin to follow him to the kitchen where he sits down. The ginger instantly starts scarfing down his food making Eddward chuckle "You eat a lot pumpkin." The swimmer points out and the ginger blushes again. "I'm hungry..."
"They took your lunch again, didn't they?" Eddward says annoyed and the redhead just nods. "Eat as much as you like then." He says finishing up his single slice then washing is hands and the dish and heading off to the living room. The swimmer looks through his collection of movies and finally decides on lord of the rings as he pops it in while the ginger joins him. "Sweet! I love these movies!" He exclaims and Eddward smiles softly at him. "Me too." He says sitting down and tapping the spot next to him. Together they watch the first film and Kevin starts to feel sleepy so he yawns and stretches.
"I should get going...." he says tiredly and quietly. The genuine smile that was on Eddward's face drops "yeah I guess it's pretty late...let me walk you to the door at least." He says standing up. The walk to the door is far too short as the two are now awkwardly standing there waiting for someone to make the first move to get the door. Finally, Kevin opens it and looks up at the swimmer. "I'll see you tomo-" suddenly he's cut off and his eyes widen realizing that the pressure on his lips his Eddward's against his own. The ginger relaxes into the kiss and kisses back causing the swimmer to relax his tight grip on the boy's shoulders. The redhead then let's out a small moan as his heart races and his mind turns into a blur. Everything in him is just focusing on the one kissing him, the one he loves, Eddward.

Eventually the kiss is broken neither of them know who broke it but both are way too nervous to lean in again. Eddward knows if he does he will not be able to hold back and the ginger? Well he's just a panting blushing mess who can't even think straight.
"un jour vous serez à moi, citrouille" Eddward says into Kevin's ear before kissing his cheek and sending him off.

"What. The. Fuck." Kevin thinks collapsing onto his own bed as his mind races thinking back to just minutes ago when he was kissing The swimmer. The ginger pulls out his phone but then puts it away his mind is way too hazy to do anything. "Maybe one day..." he thinks to himself and can't help as a huge smile forms across his face.

*** un jour vous serez à moi, citrouille-
one day you will be mine, pumpkin***
