Chapter One: Car Wash Comedy
The early rays of the morning sun shone through the window of Kevin's apartment and reached his face. He groggily turned to his side and pulled his covers higher to block the sun's rays. He was almost totally asleep when his alarm went off, telling him it was 6:30 in the morning. Without getting up or even opening his eyes, he reached an arm out to shut off the noisy alarm, feeling his side table until he eventually touched his alarm and hit the snooze button. "Stupid clock" he mumbled and momentarily forgot why he set his alarm at such an early hour of the day…until it hit him…
"Oh crap… almost forgot… Ben and Gwen are coming over…" Kevin thought to himself. "I still don't see why they have to go through the trouble of taking care of me… I mean, I'm fine! I-…..I….ahh-… ACHOO!" Kevin sniffled, pulled out a tissue from the tissue box beside his alarm clock and blew his nose on it. "Okay, so maybe I'm not TOTALLY fine, but heck, I can totally handle this on my own!"
Kevin tossed and turned in his bed, cursing at the fact that he- Kevin Levin- caught a measly cold, for saving his friend from an alien attack that somehow causes people to get sick. Though on the other hand (and no, he would never admit it to the world, even if you threaten to cut his balls off), he was glad the person he protected from that attack was unharmed… that person, being the one and only, Ben Tennyson.
Contrary to popular belief (well, at least, in Bellwood, not in the world of fanfiction XD), Kevin harbored DEEP and SPECIAL feelings for Ben rather than Ben's cousin, Gwen. Sure he thought Gwen was cool in her own way, with her 'magic powers', karate skills, impressive IQ, and maybe even a cute appearance, but he just didn't see Gwen as someone he can love as much as Ben. Even when they were kids, Kevin had always admired Ben in many ways- his looks, his attitude, his cheerfulness, his desire to protect, and most of all, when Ben accepted Kevin as a cool guy and not some mutant freak.
"Maybe they forgot about it…or decided I'm fine on my own…" Kevin decided to get comfortable in his bed and tried to get back to sleep.
.

.
Ding Dong!' the doorbell rang. Kevin woke up after the third bell rang. He checked the clock and it read 8:30am. "Wow, they're early" He put on a loose white shirt and a pair of pajama pants and slowly went to the door, feeling the world around him spin from even a simple task of walking.
Ding Dong! The doorbell rang for the 5th time. "All right already! Hold your horses, I'm just opening the door!" Kevin yelled, the doorbell was giving him a headache. He carefully unlocked the door and opened it, revealing Ben and Gwen on the other side with grocery bags and sorts.
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed" Ben snickered. Gwen hit Ben on the arm. "Ow! What was that for?"
"Its not nice to make fun of people when they're sick" Gwen stated in a matter-of-factly tone. She then looked at Kevin and smiled. "So how are you feeling Kev?"
"Just peachy" His voice was dripping with sarcasm. "So are you two gonna stand there all day? The sun is kinda too bright for my eyes ya know…" He moved aside and let his two friends in.
"Don't worry Kev, that's what we're here for" stated Gwen.
"And I keep telling you, I'm fine! I can do things on my own… I'm not a baby you know"
"But you sure are acting like one Kev" Ben mused and laughed. Gwen hit him again. "Oww!!"
"I'm guessing you forgot it was all your fault Kevin got sick in the first place. If you didn't recklessly charge at that alien, then Kevin wouldn't have had to take that hit for you, or else you'd be the one in this predicament" Gwen pointed out. "Besides, I'll bet you haven't even thanked him yet!"
Ben pouted (to which Kevin thought was astoundingly cute, and again, he would never admit it) then sighed. "Fine… and ah…T-…Thanks for… ah… Saving my…life… I guess…" Ben looked away and blushed slightly, not used to showing appreciation to anybody in that manner.
Kevin just smirked. "Awww, you're welcome Benjy" then he turned to the bags in their hands. "But seriously guys, you didn't have to do anything. All I need is a good sleep or so, and then I'll be back in full gear"
"Oh don't worry Kevin, Ben and I will take care of you 'til you get better. Especially Ben, since this is mainly his fault" Gwen smiled sinisterly at Ben.
"H-hey!! I told him I was sorry! Besides…" Ben looked away and mumbled "Its not my fault that alien could fire sickening goo from his tail as well… I thought he could only fire it from his mouth"
"Well sorry wont get Kevin any better now, will it?"
"Hmph… fine… okay already, it was all my fault. There, ya happy now?"
"Guys, all your bickering is giving me a major headache… so I'm just gonna go to bed and get some shut eye. You can do whatever you want, just don't break anything" Kevin then proceeded to his room.
"Right, so I'll handle kitchen duty and, well… You handle cleaning duties" Gwen stated.
"What? That's not fair!" Ben retorted.
"Oh, then I guess you wouldn't mind cooking and washing dishes then? The way I see it, Kevin's apartment isn't too big to clean. I wouldn't mind trading chores with you"
Ben grumbled…then sighed in defeat, "Alright, alright. I guess I'll start cleaning the living room"
"Good. Now that that's settled…" Gwen proceeded to the kitchen and wondered to herself "I wonder what I'll make for lunch?" leaving Ben alone in the living room.
.
------------------------------

Ben went to the broom closet and grabbed a few cleaning materials. He took off his green jacket leaving his black shirt on. Deciding he didn't want his clothes to get dirty, he reluctantly wore the white apron Gwen brought for him. He started by dusting the furniture, sweeping the floor, then mopping it. After he fluffed and arranged the cushions on the sofa, he scanned the room once more, admiring his work.
"Not bad" he thought to himself. He decided to clean the bathroom next.
.
------------------------------
.
Meanwhile, Kevin was having a nice nap in his room. He was dreaming of being in the beach, lying under the shade of a big tree, listening to the soothing waves of the sea, drinking from a coconut in one hand, and Ben giving him a good shoulder massage. When his imaginary Ben was about to give him a kiss...
CRASH! He was suddenly awakened by a loud noise coming from the bathroom, followed by a loud "EEOOUUCCHH!!!" and a nagging Gwen. He mumbled inaudible curses at his fate and got up, heading to the source of the noise. When he got out of his room, he saw Gwen had finished yelling at Ben and was now heading for the kitchen. He went to check on Ben inside the bathroom. What he saw upon entering the room, made him laugh hiss ass out.
"WAHAHAHA!! Jeez Tennyson, I always knew you were accident-prone, I just didn't know that included housework!"
Ben was sprawled in the bath tub, with the curtains wrapped around him, and several shampoo bottles and some body spray and a can of shaving cream at his sides. What caught Kevin's attention though was the way Ben was lying in the tub- seductively lying on his side, face flushed, and panting lightly, all of which made Kevin's throat suddenly dry. Ben was having a hard time getting up but somehow managed.
"Haha. Very funny Levin" Ben managed to pull himself together and organize things as they were supposed to be.
Kevin on the other hand, decided to answer the call of nature (you know, take a piss) and went to the toilet bowl, opened the lid, and began unzipping his pants. Ben turned around after finishing arranging the toiletries, catching Kevin opening his fly.
"Wh-…What the hell Kev?! Couldn't you have waited 'til I got out?!" Ben said in an outburst, blushing profusely at the sight of Kevin 'undressing'.
Kevin just smirked. "Whats the matter princess? Ain't used to seeing one of these?" Kevin gestured to his crotch region. Ben just looked away, still blushing, and marched right out of the bathroom, muttering inaudible curses under his breath.
"Oh and Ben…"
"WHAT!?"
Kevin smirked. "Cute apron you got there"
Ben slammed the door shut, embarrassment getting the better of him.
"Hehehe… Too cute Benjy" Kevin just snickered and finished his business in the bathroom. When he got out, he was surprised to see Ben standing there, as if waiting for him to come out.
"What's up Benjy? You waited for me out here all this time?" Kevin stated in a mocking tone. He walked towards Ben and said "You could have just joined me in the bathroom you know" this time, Kevin used a seductive tone.
Ben however blushed lightly, but overall seemed unfazed. "Look Kev, I know on a normal basis, you wouldn't be acting like this, so I'm blaming it all on your sickness. Anyway, I waited out here to tell you that I'm gonna be cleaning your car next. And knowing you, you'd kill anyone who went near your car without your permission" Ben just looked straight into the elder's eyes, waiting for a response.
Kevin on the other hand, wasn't used to Ben staring at him directly for so long. He didn't notice how intoxicatingly beautiful his green eyes were. Even if he DID hear every word Ben said, he was somehow mesmerized by Ben's facial features that he couldn't immediately respond to Ben's statement. He just kept staring at Ben.
"…… Well?..."
"H… Huh?"
"Are you gonna let me wash your car or not?"
"Hmm… okay. But I'm gonna be supervising"
"Are you sure you wanna do that? Why don't you just go back to sleep or something? I promise I'll take good care of your 'baby'"
"After what happened to you in my bathroom? I don't think so Tennyson. If you so much as put a scratch on my car, I am gonna skin you alive!"
Just then, an image of Ben… naked… bare skinned… naked… sexy… naked… innocently turning around to face him… naked… with hands and feet chained to a wall… naked… giving a flushed look… and very much NAKED… popped in his mind, stunning him momentarily and sending him to fantasy land.
Ben waved a hand in front of Kevin's face. "Uhm... Hello? Kevin? You there?"
"H-huh? Did you say something?" Kevin mentally slapped himself for stuttering, blaming his sudden weird attitude on his sickness.
"Err…no…now why don't you wipe that drool off your mouth and follow me to your garage. I wanna get my chores done ASAP"
"Huh? Oh. Right. But I'm warning you Tennyson-"
"Yeah, yeah. Now hurry up" Ben proceeded to the garage, Kevin following suit.
.
------------------------------

Back in the kitchen, Gwen was almost finished making chicken soup for Kevin. She checked the cupboards, shelves, and the fridge for anything else she can cook. After checking the ingredients weren't enough (even the ones she and Ben brought), she decided she would later go to the groceries again.
"Might as well tell the boys later…" and she proceeded to finishing her soup.
.
------------------------------
.
Kevin sat on a metal folding chair while watching Ben get the materials for cleaning his car. Now I know watching someone else clean your car could be a real drag, but hey, its not everyday you get to see your secret crush washing your car now, is it?
After getting all the materials like brushes, scrubs, car soaps, tiny vacuums and glass cleaners, etc. Ben stood for a moment, contemplating something.
"Anything wrong Tennyson?"
"Hmm… just wondering… do you have like, any waterproof clothings? I'd hate to get my clothes all wet and dirty…"
"Jeez, if you're THAT worried about getting wet and dirty (mind out of the gutter XD), then just take your damn shirt off! Besides, you got that cute little apron on anyway" Kevin applauded his little idea, and hoped that Ben really would take his shirt off.
"… Fine! I'll be back in a bit…"
.
------------------------------
.
After 2 minutes of changing, Ben walked back into the garage, wearing nothing but a pair of tight green cycling shorts and black slippers, revealing an oh so slim, fit, and sexy figure (typical of an 'uke' mwahahahahaha!)
"Good thing I brought extra shorts" Ben smiled proudly at himself and proceeded to cleaning Kevin's car.
Kevin just stared. And stared. And stared some more. Ben. Benjamin Tennyson. THE Ben Tennyson of HIS fantasies, half-NAKED in his garage.
"Oh hells yeah!!! I really should get sick more often!"
Amidst the car cleaning, Ben, as predicted, got himself soaked to the bone. The soapy water making his lithe body glisten. Sweat and suds were dripping from his forehead… down his cheek….to his neck… and lower still. Often, Ben stuck his pink little tongue to the side of his lip, occasionally licking his lips wet when dry, concentrating hard on cleaning the car.
When Ben leaned forward in the car's hood to wipe a particularly persistent smudge on the windshield (making Ben bend forward, revealing a pair of wet and tight shorts clinging to a pair of cute little buns, giving Kevin front row tickets to a live show), Kevin felt his pants getting tighter. It's amazing how Ben isn't noticing Kevin in a labored breathing, sweating profusely, a bulge forming in his pants, and eyes focused intently on watching all the sexy little things (in Kevin's opinion) Ben was doing to his car.
"Down boy, down! Must. Resist. Animal Instincts!" poor Kevin, having internal debates with his mind and body.
Satisfied with his job, Ben wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm, closing his eyes, sighed contentedly, licked his lips once more with his cute little pink tongue, then smiled. Kevin almost fainted from the HOT yet angelic sight before him.
"Man, I didn't know I was good at cleaning" Ben proudly said to himself. I did a pretty good job cleaning your car, right Kev?" as Ben turned to face Kevin, he was surprised at what he saw.
There, sprawled lazily on the metal folding chair, was Kevin. His arms hanging loosely on the sides, his head tilted backwards, some drool pooling at the corner of his lips, face flushed and sweaty, clearly panting, but somehow looks euphoric and contented.
"Uhh…Kev, are you feeling alright? You look a little… hot"
Kevin tilted his head and looked directly at Ben, smirk in place. "Why, thanks Benjy. You look pretty darn hot yourself"
Ben's eyes widened at this statement. "Uhh… I meant that as temperature-wise Kevin. Besides, you look all hot and bothered-…"
"Coz o' you" Kevin cut him off. Ben just stared at him, shocked.
"It aint my fault; you're the one giving me one heck of a strip show, a very nice and wet show if I may say so myself" O-kay…Kevin's mind has officially left the building.
"Now, why don't you get over here, sit on my lap…and we can… talk about… them birds and bees… and stuff" He smirked and raised an eyebrow suggestively.
Ben just stared, wide eyed, mouth slightly open. He couldn't believe how Kevin was acting. Kevin stood from his chair, and like a drunken man, strode over to where Ben was, in front of the hood of his car.
"Kev, I think you need to take a re-.." WHAM! Ben was pushed to the hood of the car.
"Ouch! Kevin? What the hell was that for!?"
Before Ben could stand up, Kevin had him pinned to the hood of the Camaro. Both of Ben's arms pinned to each side above his head. Kevin placed his thigh in between Ben's, letting an oh- so proud bulge known to Ben's thigh. Fearing for the sudden turn of events, Ben could only struggle a bit and stare wide eyed, blushing at Kevin. He didn't want to hurt Kevin, especially since he was sick and all.
Kevin looked at the man below him, then leaned forward, his face about 10 inches away from Ben's and drawing closer.
"Ben…" Kevin said in a husky voice.
"K-k-k-Kevin… Y-you-… you d-don't really… w-wanna do th-this… d-do you??" Ben's heart was now racing in his chest. He couldn't believe the proximity of their faces now. "Pull yourself together Ben! Kevin's sick, and that's why he's acting strange!" Ben mentally screamed at himself.
Their lips a mere 5 inches away now. And it looks like Kevin really was going to kiss him. He didn't know why, but Ben felt so helpless. He couldn't hurt Kevin, but he couldn't let Kevin do this to him. He didn't want to… or did he? Ben shut his eyes tight, bracing for impact.
It took Ben about 5 seconds to realize Kevin's face was planted on his neck. Ben's whole body pinned to the car by Kevin's larger body. But what Ben noticed the most, was the fact that Kevin wasn't moving. He was breathing though.
"… He… he fainted…?" Ben was relieved from that sudden tension… although… part of him felt… disappointed that Kevin didn't kiss him straight. "Wait, why am I even thinking this? I'm straight… I think… ARRGH! I mean I AM!! And besides, everybody knows Kevin loves Gwen!" (Oh ho ho ho, not in fanfiction kid XD)
"Well there's something you don't see everyday" Gwen was at the garage door, leaning against it, arms crossed, spatula in one hand, and an evil smirk planted on her lips.
"G-Gwen!?!? Wait! It's not what you think!! K-Kevin!! He's hot!!"
"Yeah, he seems pretty hot for you right now. And apparently, so are you. I'll come back when you're both, uh, done"
"NO! I didn't mean that!! I mean-..." Ben took a deep breath then exhaled. "Kevin fainted! And his temperature is high!" Ben blurted out. "And am I the only one who thinks there's something wrong with this picture!?!?" Ben was blushing madly now.
"Whoah, easy there Ben, I was just kidding! *Tee hee*"
Gwen approached them both and felt Kevin's forehead. Ben was right, Kevin was burning hot!
"Come on, lets get Kevin over to his bedroom"
Gwen carried Kevin in on one shoulder, Ben on the other. All the while Kevin was mumbling something like "so sexy…" and "need more…" to which Gwen just laughed at and Ben blushing madly, it's a good thing they were on opposite ends of Kevin, or Gwen would really pick on Ben for that beet red face of his. They carefully laid Kevin down on his bed, and tucked him in.
"Anyway Ben, I made some chicken soup for you and Kevin in the kitchen. Why don't you eat first, then feed Kevin after you get dressed"
"Huh? I thought YOU were the one in charge of kitchen duties! And that includes feeding Kevin!"
"Yeah, but I still have to make lunch. I have to run by the grocery store and pick up a few things. We just didn't buy enough ingredients for cooking"
Ben grumbled a bit. "Fine. But while you're out, could you get me a-…"
"Smoothie. Yes, I know"
"And maybe some-…"
"Chili fries. No problem"
"Will you stop reading my mind?!"
"I'm not. You're just too predictable Ben" Gwen just giggled. Ben just pouted. With that said, Gwen left for the grocery store and Ben proceeded to get dressed.
