Chapter 2

Inter-Turmoil

It had been a few weeks since the incident at Mr. Baumann's store and the reveal of Undertown to Ben, and since then he still had his new partner Rook on his mind. If he wasn't with Rook on a mission then he was with Rook in his dreams, and some of those dreams were quite erotic. Ben was yearning with lust for the Revonnahgander. Ben was still going through some turmoil of his own however, he'd just got out of a very bad relationship, and wasn't entirely sure if another one was a very wise decision. Rook didn't seem like the type to cause Ben such harm but then again, he didn't think Kevin did either. Not only that but he didn't even know if Rook was gay, and all of the emotion and thinking was giving Ben a migraine. Even though Ben felt Kevin slip away the more he fell for Rook, Kevin had cause some damage that wasn't going to be so easily fixed. Ben was still having night terrors and was still barely eating.

Sandra Tennyson, Ben's mom, was standing in the kitchen cooking a little breakfast for her son. She knew it'd be a miracle if Ben ate it but she felt slightly better knowing it was there for him. "It's about time for him to get ready for work isn't it?" Sandra thought to herself. The concerned mother walked down to Ben's room and opened the door; what a sight she saw. Ben was fast asleep with three different alarm clocks beeping franticly. She glanced around the room, what she saw didn't surprise her. Ben had clothes all over the place, you couldn't tell what was clean or dirty, he had empty smoothie cups all over and a couple of dinner plates sitting on his night stand. "Benjamin Kirby!" Sandra yell at the top of her lungs; not in anger so much but more in a playful manner to scare Ben. Ben nearly fell out his bed, upon hear the screech. "What, what, what!?" Ben exclaimed looking around the room a dazed look on his face. "Ben you need to get up, you gotta get ready for work." Sandra said lovingly giving her son a kiss on the forehead. "Oh, and turn those darn alarm clocks off!" She said before going back to the kitchen.

Ben looked at himself in the mirror as he brushed his teeth. "Man I look awful." Ben thought to himself as he brushed. Ben came into the kitchen to tell his mom goodbye, but Sandra wanted him to eat first. "Ben I made you a little breakfast why don't you eat, I'll call your Grandfather; he'll understand I'm sure." Sandra said to her son. "No time, I gotta run!" Ben said grabbing his hoddie. "Ben you can't live on smoothies, and clean that room it's horrible!" Sandra called out to ben as he left. Her request fell on deaf ears.

Earlier at Rook's

Rook had been sitting in his Plumber provided apartment thinking. It seems that since he met Ben all he did was think; it was starting to give him a headache. Rook felt himself becoming more and more attracted to Ben and those emerald green eyes. But Rook was confused he had never felt attraction to the same gender before, and it confused him greatly that it only started upon meeting Ben. Rook knew that while same gender pairings were not considered bad on Revonnah, they were still considered odd. But He also knew that Revonnahganders were told to never question their heart. If his heart yearned for Ben then it is so. "But is Ben even like that?" Rook thought to himself. Rook was locked in subconscious turmoil, he even began to question his heart; Rook knew he still had slight feelings for his ex-girlfriend Rayona as well. "Arghh! This is too confusing!" Rook said out loud "My heart is telling me something it should not, father would be most displeased." Rook said out loud again. Root sat in contemplation for a while knowing he would have to go to work soon. "Huh-I know I must follow my heart, it would be most shameful to disobey; but how do I go about doing this?" Rook contemplated in his mind. "I must tell him, the next time we are alone I will tell him. I have too." Rook said out loud as he walked out the door.

Ben was sitting in bed listening to music on his mp3 player. He set it to shuffle so he didn't have to mess with picking different songs. The song he was listening to finished and the next one came up, this one made him kind of sad as it reminded him of Rook. It was Sally's Song from the movie 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'. Ben had been a fan of the movie since he was little; the song reminded him of Rook because Ben often felt that a relationship with Rook was hopeless:

I sense there's something in the wind; that feels like tragedy's at hand

And though I'd like to stand by him; can't shake this feeling that I have

The worst is just around the bend.

And does he notice my feelings for him, and will he see how much he means to me

I think it's not to be…

Ben shed a lone tear as the song ended. Ben got up and got ready to go to work. He ran out the door and got into his car to drive to Plumber HQ. "A day like this calls for a smoothie." Ben said slowly extremely tired. Ben stopped at Mr. Smoothie and got himself wild berry flavored one and was off to Plumber HQ. The elevator opened and Ben stepped out, he could see Rook talking to grandpa. Ben noticed Rook look at him briefly and Ben blushed slightly. Ben then noticed Grandpa Max looking at him with his arms crossed; he didn't look very happy. "Ben you're not on your own time any more, you can't keep your partner waiting." Grandpa Max said to Ben a little angry. "I was off saving the universe?" Ben said unknowingly holding up his smoothie cup. Grandpa Max just shook his head and walked away. "Ok Rook lets go." Ben said trying not let the Revonnahgander know he had any interest in him. "I'm parked over here." Ben said dryly. "We will take mine." Rook said pressing a button on his key pad. Ben's tongue was nearly hanging out at the sight of a Plumber urban assault vehicle which had a tank like turret at the top. At that point the UAV pulled away revealing a not so threatening utility truck with a Max's plumbing logo. Ben got a blank look on his face as he said "Gee I bet the all the girls scream at the sight of this thing." Females are not afraid of my vehicle, but they probably should be!" Rook said pressing a button on his key pad. Just then the truck began transforming revealing a super high tech looking aerial cruiser. Ben was almost drooling as he stared at the piece of machinery.

Rook made the cruiser revert back to its truck form as the two got in. Rook drove through a series of tunnels before he connected to the main road. "So rook we've never really talked about what kind of alien you are." Ben said to the Revonnahgander with curiosity. "No we have not." Rook said not catching the boy's drift. "So you gonna tell me?" Ben asked a little annoyed. "Oh, of course, I am a Revonnahgander from the planet Revonnah." Rook said proudly. "Hmm, never hear of Revonnah or Revonnahganders." Ben said inquisitively. "We are not very well known, we are simple farmers, and very few of us leave the planet." Rook said catching a glimpse of those emerald eyes he had come to love. "What made you leave and join the plumbers?" Ben asked. "Well I have always wanted to see the universe, and I enjoy helping others, and keeping the universe safe." Rook said proudly. Rook then started to hear some odd noises from Ben. He looked over at the hero and noticed he was sleeping, Rook smiled softly and pulled out a blanket from under the seat and put it over Ben.

Ben awoke in a bed in a strange place he didn't know. He noticed there was someone lying next to him, he looked over to see who it was and realized it was Rook. He was purring softly and Ben couldn't help but blush. Ben looked around the room as he said in his head "Hmm-this must be Rook's place, but why am I here, and why is he in bed with me?" At that point Rook woke up noticing Ben was up as well. "Good morning to you." Rook said to the young hero. "Rook what's going on, why am I in your bed?" Ben asked slightly blushing at that last part he said. "You fell asleep in the proto-TRUK; I figured you needed to sleep so I brought you here." Rook explained. "You have not been well it seems, you always come to work looking exhausted." Rook said to Ben. "What time is it?" Ben asked "It is 5:30 p.m." Rook said as he looked at Ben worriedly. "I can tell you are still very tired you should go back to sleep I will inform your mother." Rook said as he pats Ben on the back. Ben blushed hard at Rook touching him. "Ok Rook." Ben said as he lay back down. Rook went into the living area and took out his cellular communication device, and called Ben's mom. "Hello?" Sandra asked. "Hello this is the mother of Ben Tennyson?" Rook asked. "Yes, may I ask whose calling?" Sandra said a little confused. "Rook Blonko, Ben's partner." Rook said to the woman. "Oh, hello Rook what can I do for you?" Sandra asked a little concerned. "I wanted to let you know that Ben was going to stay here over night, we are going to go over some important Plumber files." Rook lied; he really wanted Ben to stay. "Oh, ok Rook thanks for letting me know." Sandra said before hanging up.

Rook hung up and went back to his bed room. He slid into the bed on the other side of Ben. Ben was already fast asleep. Rook snuggled up next to Ben and gave him a soft peck on the cheek. "Good night Ben, I love you." Rook said quietly before drifting to sleep.

Ok done for now! This one's a little more interesting but next chapter is gonna get a little more intense as the two fall deeply in love.

Off to eat lunch!
