Ben was in shocked to say the least. He never saw that coming. "You can do so much better than me. Goodbye Ben". Ben quite visibly flinched at the voice ringing in his mind.
He watched as Kevin flung his fist into the side of his car, then rested his head on the roof of it. Ben didn't know what to say. He didn't want to lose Kevin, that much he knew. He knew Kevin was his life, and always would be.
Never before had he been so completely and utterly tongue tied and unsure. He didn't know what to say, so taking a deep breath he let the lyrics in his mind come out.
"Somewhere there's speaking
It's already coming in
Oh and it's rising at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now you're here and you don't know why
But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won't return" Ben had gained Kevin's attention, and Kevin was staring at him silently. Ben reached up and grabbed the ruffian's large hands in his own smaller ones
"He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
And he means everything to you
And you don't know why" Kevin pulled his hands away and walked around to the other side of the car. Ben followed, stopping him from opening the door.
"You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away
There's always another wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say" his eyes were pleading with Kevin, and the ruffian looked away. Ben reached out and placed his hand over Kevin's heart, and lead the ruffians hand to rest over his own.
"He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
And he means everything to you
And you don't know why" Kevin moved away once again, deciding to walk home since Ben wouldn't move.
"But you'll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waiting for" Ben kept a steady pace behind him as the ruffian tried to walk away
"Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who won't return" He stopped walking, tears filling his eyes in defeat
"He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
And he means everything to you
And you don't know why" Without warning Kevin whirled around and grabbed Ben's hands, holding them to his chest
"I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
And I mean everything to you and I don't know why" he pulled the younger teen closer
"You're everything I want
You're everything I need
You're everything inside of me
That I wish I could be
You say all the right things
At exactly the right time
And You mean everything to me
And I don't know why
And I don't know why
Why
I don't know" They sang together
"I love you" Ben whispered "You are my life. I'll never do better than you"
"I love you too" Kevin smiled softly, and Ben pressed their lips together gently.
Yes, I added the last verse myself. I forget why, it made a lot more sense when I knew why, but I dunno *shrugs*
