4 - Can we keep him?

Kevin was the first to wake, he opened his eyes a bit and quickly closed them again. The light was now pouring into the damp station. The bright, unforgiving light, he groaned and tried to let his dark eyes adjust to it. Aside from the blinding light, the first thing that he saw was Ben, he was still asleep. Despite the fact that Ben drooled a bit, he was cute when he was asleep. Kevin watched him squirm a bit and try to adjust himself to hug the elder as if he was a pillow. He couldn't help but smile at his actions, and of course he put his arms around the brunette. The only thing that Ben had on him, besides Kevin and somehow the blanket that was around their legs, was his Omnitrix. Normally Kevin would try to break his arm in an attempt to steal it, but so much of him had changed in the smallest amount of time.

Love had this crazy way of changing people, be it good or bad, it changed you. You would never really be the same person again. For Kevin, it was strange and occasionally difficult. He was bound to end up losing his temper and he'd probably do something he'd regret. But he knew that, no matter what, Ben would forgive and forget. He smiled and began poking Ben's face. As much as he wanted to just stay there, he had to get Ben back to his gran father before Ben got in trouble. Speaking of Ben, he was now moving around, trying to get the elder to stop poking his cheek. He moved his hand to push the ravens away.

"Stoooop..." He groaned and Kevin leaned down to lightly bite his neck. "Okay! Okay! I'm uuuup!" Ben wearily opened an eye to look up at Kevin, his long dark hair spilled down from him and almost touched Ben's skin. Ben always knew he'd fall for someone with long hair, he just didn't know that it would be a boy, let alone Kevin. He wondered how Grandpa Max would take it, and his parents. Kevin nudged him out of his thoughts.

"Ben, you need to go back y'know." Ben frowned playfully and pouted his lip at the elder. "You don't want me to stay with you?" Kevin groaned and kicked Ben off of the couch and onto the floor. The brunette yelped and rubbed his head before remembering that he didn't have any clothes on him. He gasped and closed his legs while looking around frantically for his clothes. Kevin chuckled amused at the youngers panicking state. He didn't know why Ben was freaking out, they'd already had sex a few hours ago, thus they had been naked at the time. He frowned as the brunette-haired boy found his clothes and out them on. He smirked once he finished and stared down at Kevin's naked self with a blush.

"Uh... I don't think Grandpa Max wants to see you naked Kevin..." The dark boy grinned and sat up. "You like it though." Ben frowned as his blush deepened. He looked away and headed for the exit, walking slowly to see if Kevin would dress himself quickly and follow him. Kevin blinked as he watched the younger boy walk away ever so slowly, he hurriedly found his dirty worn out clothes and slipped into them to follow behind Ben.

"Shoes?" Ben smirked and looked down at Kevin's naked feet. The elder boy frowned and gave a light groan as he ran off to slip his boots on. The brunette-haired kid smiled at Kevin's eagerness and waited for him to return to his side with his moody pout.

"Can we get this over with already?" He had a slight blush stained on his pale cheeks as Ben continued to smile at him, leading the way outside into the bright city. They both knew what was waiting for them back at the RV. Kevin wondered why he would even agree to follow him and try to be...good. Neither knew how it would play out, Ben hoped that his grandfather would be alright with it. Of course, just having Kevin there would piss off Gwen so much, which only made him want the dark-haired boy to stay even more. He gave an evil grin as his thoughts flooded with the pranks they'd pull on her, and of course, Ben just really wanted Kevin to stay with him. Something had changed in him since they first met, he wasn't sure what it was, but it was something big. Walking down the claustrophobic streets of L.A. they stayed silent, just listening to the loud city, the car horns blaring, the people talking much louder than a normal person would and music coming from every direction. Ben would be lying if he said he would miss the it.

Ben did wonder how he was going to live with the Omnitrix strapped to his left wrist for the rest of his life. It was bulky and noticeable. He just knew that it was going to get tiresome to explain that it was a toy or something he got from an arcade. And of course it would seem weird that he never took it off. Most toys would get ruined when you take it in the shower or in the pool, and when he got older, people would think he was childish. He was already a social outcast, this would only make it worse. But then again, who else in the entire universe could turn into multiple aliens at their will? Of course, he had to keep it a secret. And his life would be boring once he got back to his boring home town of Bellwood. Not much happened there except a few thefts and things like that. It was a pretty safe place to live. And that's why he hated it. Bellwood was so boring, unlike his vacation, he'd never had so much excitement in his life before this trip with his cousin and grandfather.

Kevin had to be the most exciting person Ben had ever met. He sparked a dim flame inside of him that, before, seemed to be going out. The flame had since, grown into a raging fire that consumed his entire being, just by being near the other. His skin would heat up from the mere brush of Kevin's hand, his body would go numb just from his dark eyed stare, and when they kissed, Ben had never felt so important. As if, he was the only one that could ever be with Kevin. Just the thought brought a dim blush to settle on his cheeks. To his displeasure, Kevin had taken notice of his tinted face and felt a smirk form on his lips.

"What 'cha thinking about Benjy?" The dark elder teased him and called his pet name in a seductive tone, making Ben shiver slightly.

"N-Nothing!" Ben picked up the pace, walking as fast as his feet would allow him to, spotting the rusty trailer at the corner of the street ahead. He took a gulp and looked over to Kevin.

"You stay out of sight, and I'll talk to Grandpa Max. I'll come out to get you." Kevin was going to say something, but he decided against doing so after seeing the unsure look on Ben's face. Deep down, Kevin really did hope that this would somehow work out. He wasn't sure if he could deal with Ben's smart mouth cousin, but he could always find ways of shutting her up, blackmail perhaps.

Kevin leaned against the car as Ben entered it, receiving a number of concerned yells of what time it was and wanting to know where he had been. Ben put his hands up as as if he was defending himself and was allowed to explain himself.

"W-well, I sorta left to see someone..." Kevin perked his ears at the sound of the brunette's voice. How was he going to explain going to see his enemy to his family?

Half an awkward conversation later, Ben had managed to get out of trouble and refrain from identifying who it was he went to see. Of course, his Grandfather had to bring up the question of who it was exactly, leaving Ben to rub his left arm nervously.

"Um... Kevin?..." He spoke as if it was a question, to which Gwen practically flipped out to.

"Kevin?! The dangerous criminal Kevin?! Ben! What were you thinking?!" Being of good intentions, Gwen decided to explode her questions at him. She was just being protective as it would seem, after all, even if they fought all the time and could almost never agree on anything. Ben was still family, and she prided herself on protecting him from real danger.

"Now, now Gwen. I'm sure he has a perfectly good explanation for it. Don't you Ben?" Grandpa Max raised a brow and kept his vision locked on the flustered boy in front of him. The conversation dragged on with Gwen yelling more and Max not believing that Kevin would really change so quickly. Ben had left out the intimate parts of his story and prepared himself for more angry words being thrown his way. To his surprise, instead of being scolded his Grandfather placed a hand on his shoulder.

"It's good that you want to help Kevin Ben. But, I'm not sure that he can really change so much so quickly." Max had a feeling that Kevin might be using Ben for something, or he may be waiting for Ben to fully trust him so he could hurt him.

"He has though! You just have to talk to him! Please Grandpa Max, just give him a chance." Ben did his best pout, he always got what he wanted for that pout. And of course, it always worked on his grandfather, hell it even worked on Gwen.

"Just one chance. One." Grandpa Max took his hand back and watched Ben's face light up as he opened the door and leaned out. Giving out a small laugh as he startled Kevin, he tugged on his shoulder and pulled him inside. Gwen had her arms crossed over her chest and her spell book in her pocket just in case, she glared at the "ex-con" awaiting his next move. There was no way in hell that she was going to trust Ben's life with him, no way.

Kevin stared off to the side, obviously hating the awkward feeling in the room. Much like when your parents take you to visit parts of your family that you didn't even know existed until they told you that morning and you were now being told how grown up you look. Needless to say, it was full of tension. Ben cleared his throat and Kevin turned his attention to him.

"You get one chance Kevin. So behave." Ben gave him a smirk and Kevin just looked away again with a slight blush on his face.

The next few days past by painstakingly slow and Kevin had kept quiet except when talking to Ben. It made him frustrated to think about how he was acting, he had to be a "good boy" so he wouldn't get separated from the brunette hero. He figured that it was only a matter of time before he lashed out at Gwen, he hated the way the redhead could just say whatever she wanted about Ben, and their Grandfather wouldn't lift a finger or scold her the way he scolded Ben when he would rush off into a fight.

The nights weren't so bad. He got to sleep in the same bed as Ben, it was a bit cramped, but he could sometimes wrap the younger in his arms to keep warm. Ben had told him to keep their secrets between them. Kevin understood why, it would only make both Max and Gwen more suspicious of him.

Kevin woke up at some odd hour of the morning feeling colder than usual and the bunk had more space than it should of had. He sat up and opened his dark eyes to scan the room. He pushed his mess of black hair out of his face to aid in his search. Eyes settling on Ben who was sitting at the table with his back turned, playing one of his games and eating breakfast. Silently climbing out of the bed, Kevin made his way behind the younger and put his hands over his eyes.

"Guess who." Kevin snickered as Ben gasped in surprise. The brunette turned pink and turned around to lock eyes with the elder. Kevin slipped into the seat next to Ben and inched his face in closer to Ben's until their noses touched.

"Where's your family?" Kevin had noticed that Ben's annoying cousin and Grandfather were no where to be found. Ben's face went from pink to red in an instant. He didn' think he'd ever get used to Kevin's way of showing his... affection. The brunette blinked and tried to find words.

"T-They went out shopping..." Kevin gave a sadistic smirk to his reply and gave his own reply. "For how long?"

"A-A few hours, knowing Gwen. Why?" As if he didn't already know the answer. Kevin shrugged and pushed his lips against Ben's. This was going to be a good summer, as long as Kevin behaved.
