They were tiny. Just a splatter across his nose and underneath his eyes.
Kevin never really noticed them til the day he went off on Troy at lunch for calling him a fag.
Edd's tempered flared and his cheeks went red as he gave the boys soccer team captain a read down on the slur and his whole entire life and that's when he saw them.
Tiny brown spots.
When contrasted with his red cheeks and lightly tanned, olive toned skin, Edd looks like a cheetah and he's tearing Kevin's heart out with the cute as he shreds what's left of Troy's and suddenly, the redhead is crushing.
He drug Edd away with a snicker and got Eddy to calm him down while he went to tell Troy to watch his back. Edd was a neighbor and a friend. No one fucked with either.
Troy was too shaken to argue.
Getting Edd to see him as an ally wasn't too hard after that and teasing from the other athletes went down a bit as the teasing for Kevin went UP.
Was the jock crushing on the dork?
No one believed it, but soon Edd saw it, too. He was just too smart not to.
And the pink in his cheeks when he figured it out made his freckles looked so kissable.
But Kevin just didn't feel worthy to mar them like that.
And he was never so jealous of the sun herself in his life for getting to do just that.
The day Kevin worked up the courage to do what the sun had been doing their entire lives, though, after yet another study hall stolen away in the library, so Edd could get ahead and help the dumb jock with his English paper, Kevin saw that they tasted as good as they look, and he couldn't wait to kiss them again.
And now he does.
Every day.
The kisses his freckles get are even sweeter.
