Hiya! So, this looks a lot longer on word and when I hand wrote it...:\ Oh well. I hope you enjoy my Ben 10 drabbles!

Dull green orbs (once full of light and happiness) stared bleakly out the tinted windows of a car. The car, in question, held two other passengers: a dark haired boy and a redheaded girl each nursing their own wounds and troubles.
"Yo, Tennyson, you ok?" The dull orbs flickered over to the only other male in the vehicle. Normally he would've cared more about his team-mates aches, but his own seemed to outshine theirs recently.
"Sure, Kevin." He swiftly shut his eyes and rested his cheek on his hand, exhaustion taking over. A gentle hand reached from the back seat and touched his shoulder.
"Ben, you sure?"
"He said he was fine, Gwen," Kevin snapped, but his eyes flashed worry as he peaked over at Ben. Said boy almost smiled when he heard Kevin snap. He found it strange, but whenever Kevin yelled at Gwen, his spirits perked up a little. Maybe it was because it proved that Kevin wasn't interested in his cousin after all. Meaning…Ben had a chance.
The green orbs snapped open. Did he really just think that? Ben shook his head and noticed they were pulling into a gas station. Gwen opened her door and stalked off for the convenience store attached.
"I have to use the bathroom, be right back," she called over her shoulder. The two boys watched her disappear into the store, knowing she wouldn't head their warning that going into a convenience store at night was stupid. A second later Kevin turned to Ben.
"Seriously, Tennyson… what's your deal? I've never seen you so wiped out."
"Look Kevin, it's noting, ok? Stop worrying about me," Ben deadpanned. Kevin narrowed his eyes and inspected Ben closer.
"You sure?" he asked, yet still coming closer. Ben's eyes widened a fraction of an inch.
"Uh-huh," now a breath's width from Kevin. He found himself unintentionally leaning towards the raven.
"Positive?" Kevin's warm breath tumbled across Ben's parted lips.
"Of course," he breathed. A rosy blush bloomed onto the teen's face, while his heart slammed painfully into his ribcage.
"If you say so," and the moment was over. Kevin was back in his original spot, leaving a flustered and confused Ben. Around that time Gwen hopped back into the car, obviously confused by her cousin's red face.
The next hour went be in silence. Ben finally gave into his fatigue and fell asleep.
"Hey, did you ever figure out what was wrong with him?" Gwen whispered. Kevin glanced at the sleeping boy and smirked.
"I believe so."
