Too Far
by GhostHelwig
It wasn�t supposed to happen like this. It wasn�t supposed to go down that way. He was supposed to love me. Now he flinches whenever I�m around. If not for Ed, I don�t think he�d stay.
But Ed is here and he loves Ed still, and I am not above using that. If Ed is all that keeps him here, then I�ll keep Ed with me for as long as it takes to earn his forgiveness.
And he has to know this wasn�t supposed to be this way. He�s smart � he has to know I didn�t mean it. He has to know it was an accident. He has to know I�d never hurt him � not again.
What�s his problem, anyway? I thought he wanted it. I would never have done it if I thought he didn�t want it. And he knows that. I mean, he has to, right? So he knows.
He knows how sorry I am. He knows.
And he�ll forgive me. He always does. He�ll forgive me. He has to�
Right?
It was Kevin�s fault, as usual. He threw the party to announce his engagement to Nazz (and don�t think I don�t know he�s only marrying her because he knocked her up), and he just invited us so he could gloat. He knew how Ed, Edd and I used to feel about her. All the kids in the cul-de-sac liked her, even Sarah, I think. Well, not Rolf, actually, but Rolf only ever liked Kevin. The way he used to bend over backwards (literally sometimes, I hear) for the arrogant little� but I�m getting a bit off-track.
So anyway, it was Kevin�s fault; it was his party, and he served the alcohol. If I hadn�t gotten so drunk on the stupid beer none of this would�ve happened. But I did, and I was feeling mighty fine after a while. Then Kevin comes up and starts ragging on me, and it�s all �dork� this and �dork� that until I want to punch him in that square jaw. But I�m not stupid, so I don�t.
And then I see Nazz in this low-cut red dress that I find myself thinking she should enjoy wearing now �cause in a few months it won�t fit her anymore. Now, I don�t think I know people very well, but even I can see that Nazz isn�t really happy anymore. I don�t think she wants to marry Kevin. But her parents want her to, and she�s a good girl, so she will. But she doesn�t like it, and it shows. She�s changed. We�ve all changed.
But I know Nazz has changed the most, �cause she comes over and starts flirting with me. Heavily flirting, too, real dirty stuff. In my head I know she�s only doing it to piss off Kevin, but my body doesn�t care about that � all my body knows is that Nazz Richmond is pressing up against it, and it feels good.
She�s all over me (see, childhood self, you always knew that would happen one day, and you were right! Never mind how or why, you were still right!), and I�m really getting off on it. But then Kevin comes by, and I can tell I�m in for a pounding. I grit my teeth and wait for it.
But then Double D is suddenly there, defending me. My hero, or whatever. And Kevin, he listens, and backs down. Sometimes in school, Double D could defend me by bribing Kevin with doing his homework (or by not refusing to do it for him), but we�re long out of school. Double D is on break from Harvard, for Pete�s sake. So why does Kevin obey, you ask?
Well, I don�t even know for sure. But Double D, he�s changed, too. Even before I� well, he�s changed. He�s still all �rules do a body good� and he�s still Mr. Clean, but he�s also, I dunno� I guess he�s almost cool, now. Not �cause he�s all that different, just �cause we�re older and it�s okay to be mature now.
So Kevin listens, and Double D seems to think this is the best time for a� what�d he call it? Oh yeah. A �judicious retreat.� Whatever. All I know is, I�m drunk and horny, and now I�m alone in one of the empty rooms in Nazz and Kevin�s new house with one of my oldest friends.
He�s nattering away, probably lecturing me on the evils of flirting or something; I dunno what �cause I ain�t listening. What I�m doing is thinking to myself that my hard-on should probably get a chance to fade now, since listening to Double D rant ain�t exactly arousing.
But maybe it is, �cause instead of getting softer I�m getting harder. It�s just, his lips are all wet from his rapid breathing, which is moving his chest up and down in the most interesting way already. And I find myself wondering if he could use that cute gap of his to give a guy some slightly kinky pleasure.
Now I know this is all wrong, alright? I know. If anyone knew I�d die of shame. But it�s just Double D and me in here, right? And who�s he gonna tell, Ed? Ed wouldn�t even understand. If he�s ever had a hard-on, I don�t wanna know about it.
So I�m all hot and bothered, which isn�t as rare a situation around Double D as I�d like it to be. And Einstein doesn�t even notice, he�s so caught up in his lecturing. Stupid Sockhead wouldn�t notice my hard-on unless I waved it in his face.
Which is not � quite � what I intend to do with it.
I go over to him, and since his mouth is open anyway I decide to stick my tongue in it. I do, and I�m blown over by the taste, by the hot-wet feel of him. I imagine what it would be like to feel him giving me head, and I nearly come right then.
But I want more. I want to be buried inside him. I want to claim him. He was always mine � I realize that when I�m kissing him. He was mine, and I was just too blind to see it. Well, I see it now. And I intend to take full advantage of it.
I have my clothes rearranged within seconds, driven by wanting him so badly I feel like I�m gonna pop. Nazz? Who�s Nazz? Oh, a girl? Never hearda� them, either.
I yank at his pants. Stupid zipper. Stupid buttons. Makes it feel like Double D�s got lots of clothes on, �cause it takes so frickin� long. Finally I got �em down enough to be gettin� on with. Or should I say gettin� it on with? God, I still crack myself up.
So anyway, he�s ready, and I�m ready. Now, just to be explainin� something, I ain�t ever been with a guy before, so I never heard of lube. Didn�t know what it was, didn�t know we needed it. But I know now, and if he�d just� well, whatever, on with the story.
I pulled his legs up, got him on my hips. Now, if you ever saw Double D when he was a teenager you know he ain�t big, and he�s not much different now. But the whole cool, against-the-wall thing looks easier in the movies than it actually is. And when I finally started to push in him, it felt so good, but he was suddenly too heavy, and down we went.
I�d been kissing him, but when we fell I focused on rearranging us instead, so I could quickly get back inside his tight, hot heat. He said something, and he sounded kinda funny too, but I was so focused on my goal I didn�t even hear him.
I kissed him again as I pressed inside him. The pleasure! I thought I�d faint or die or something. So much pleasure has gotta be a sin. And I�d only ever felt that sinful pleasure when inside him.
I know what you�re thinking � you�re in college and you were still a virgin, Eddy? You? Impossible. Girls must�ve been clamoring to have you!
And yeah, they were. But I�m, uh� selective. Yeah, that�s right. Selective. And hey � they�re only community college girls; I could get better ones. I�m just� waiting for the right time, that�s all.
Maybe after this thing with Double D blows over I�ll-
Oh, who�m I kidding?
Anyway, I slid inside him and it was good. Mind-blowing, one could say. And I think it was a little too good, �cause I came a lot faster than I wanted to. Double D hadn�t even come yet. So once I came down from my haze of sated pleasure I figured I�d help him, y�know� anything for a friend.
But I looked at him, beneath me�
And he was cryin.�
I didn�t get it, but I figured maybe he was all emotional, �cause it was him and me. He�s so sensitive. So I told him, �hey, Double D, chill, man,� �cause I just didn�t know what else to say. And his eyes opened and he glared up at me like he didn�t even know who I was.
In a cold, cold voice he said, �get off me.�
I got off him.
He continued glaring as he drew his shirt down over his ribs � hadn�t realized I�d pulled it up, when had I done that? � and moved to pull his pants back up. And that�s when I noticed it. The blood.
It was all over the floor where we�d been goin� at it. Something in my face must�ve shown my horror, �cause he looked where I was looking. And then his face scrunched up like he�d been socked in the gut, and he started to cry again.
�Hey�� I whispered. �Come on, Sockhead, don�t get all weepy on me now.�
If anything, he just cried harder.
�Come on,� I repeated, moving closer, prepared to put a friendly arm around his shoulders. �We can talk, just stop crying-�
�Get away from me!�
His scream was so loud I�m amazed no one came to investigate. I guess the music at the party was just louder. But I heard him well enough. I stopped.
And now I was starting to get pissed. We�d just shared something really intimate, and yeah, so it was short, but I was gonna make it up to him until he started to freak out like he did.
�Geez,� I groaned. �What�s your problem?�
�My problem?� Someone should really tell Double D that when he gets all high and shrill like that, it raises his voice a few octaves. Of course, I�ll never tell him, �cause I don�t want him to stop. I think it�s hot.
�My problem, Eddy,� I hate � no, I love � when he says my voice like that, all annoyed, �is that you have just�� He searches his mind for a minute, as if he can�t quite find the right word. Then, he does.
�You�ve just raped me on Kevin�s floor!�
Wait a minute. Raped?
Double D�s hat is too tight.
�I didn�t rape you,� I finally say. �That wasn�t rape, Einstein, we were just-�
�I think I know whether or not I�ve just been raped, Eddy!�
And with that he�s sobbing again.
Now despite what some people think, I do have a heart, and its breaking as I watch Double D cry. The whole rape thing may be ridiculous, but he�s obviously upset about what we did, and that just isn�t right. I move to hold him, and he pushes me away.
�Don�t touch me!� He�s not loud this time so much as panicked. I feel for the guy. I do. He must be even more in the closet than I am, to be so upset.
I reach for him, and he recoils. By now he�s shaking like a leaf. I can hear him muttering under his breath, and I lean closer to hear.
�Twelve percent of rape victims are male. Attackers are usually in pairs or more when victim is male, and are more likely to be unknown by victim. Usually used as a way to dominate or subjugate victim. Sexual gratification is not usually the point, merely a means to an end. Probably the product of an Alpha-male dominated society.�
I don�t want to set him off again � his eyes are still huge and dilated and wet and red � but I have to ask. �Double D� what�re you doing?�
He jumps, shocked, like he�d forgotten I was there. Maybe he had. He looks up at me, and we both suddenly forget my question. I want to kiss him. I think he wants to hit me. But I still want to kiss him so bad�
�C�mon, Double D,� I say in my most cajoling voice, �it wasn�t that bad, was it? I was gonna get you off, but then you freaked, and��
The hurt look on his face makes me trail off. �You don�t get it at all, Eddy, do you?� he whispers, and I bristle.
�Of course I do!� A moment of silence, then: �Get what?�
He sighs. Now I want to hit him. But I don�t, just like I didn�t kiss him when I wanted to.
�You just don�t understand,� he says softly, with more tenderness than I know he thinks I deserve at the moment. �I would�ve�� he chokes off, looks away. Only then can he continue.
�I would�ve given you everything. Anything you wanted. I was yours.�
He meets my eyes squarely, and the fire I see in his dark irises is both new � and unwelcome.
�I was yours,� he says again, �until you took me.�
So that�s it. Double D thinks I raped him, and no matter how many times I say I didn�t he won�t listen. He�s convinced he�s right, and he can be stubborn. But I�ll make him see the truth one day.
I mean, he wanted me, right? He admitted as much. And I wanted him, too, so I don�t see what the big deal was.
I guess I shouldn�t have been drunk. But that was Kevin�s fault, like I said. And Nazz was the one who got me all horny and worked up. It wasn�t my fault Double D was there, and so sexy and hot, that was his fault. So I�m blameless here.
So why does he always look at me like I�m not? |
