A more reflective piece than the other. But this isn't just a personal song for Kevin, so what do you expect? XD

(X)(X)(X)

Summer don't know me no more,

Eager man, that's all

Kevin sighed at the words, a year had passed since he made his escape from the Null Void. A year since he first heard this song as he emerged from the subway back in New York where the portal lead him, the opening a fitting background track as he emerged.

The whole ordeal was strange, he never thought he would end up back here. Nor did he expect to hear a song that fit him so well. Or, as he'd like to think in some regard, used to, though overall it fit the most important—to him—aspect of his life thus far.

He tightened another screw onto the frame of the car he was rebuilding. His project. What he'd hope to call his baby when it was all said and done. But right now that was a ways off. Though he could wait, he's learned to be patient for things that truly mattered…Well, almost.

I saw that day

Lost my mind,

Lord, I'm fine;

Maybe in time, you'll want to be mine

And that's what it boiled down to; the chorus. It brought out his sense of hope. Hope for something he did not realize he wanted until his mind was cleared from the rage. Clear from him, his obsession, to know that what he wanted all along was more time with him. To be more. And hopefully they would.

After all, his powers overpowered his mind and sent him over the edge and destroyed the only thing that was good in his life.

Kevin drummed his fingers over the steering wheel, the drive to his house seemed taking longer than usual. He hazard a glance at Ben who looked mixed between being nervous and acquiesced to his (most likely horrible) fate. A line came to him:

Ten years passed tonight

You'll flee

It hadn't been that long, but with his mind on what he was about to do and Ben possibly turning alien and flying away was weighing on his mind.

Kevin thought the next couple stanzas as a vow. A vow he repeatedly swore in the years that followed his first time listening.

If you do that,

I'll be some to find you

Kevin pulled up to his house and got out. He noticed Ben's attempt to hide his surprise. Kevin opened the passenger side door and offered a hand. Ben took it, unsure of what this would lead to, but at least his body language seemed to relax now.

Kevin lead the way towards his bedroom and turned his computer on. Ben tilted his head in an unspoken question. Kevin smirked.

"You aren't the only one with a song for us, Benji." He said it with an emphasis on his nickname, hoping to defuse a possible awkward moment. "And since yours was revealed, I figured I should do the same."

He cued the music and watched Ben intently. After this he was going confess to loving him, to wrap him up in his arms and kiss him.

Saw that day,

Lost my mind,

Lord I'm fine;

He only hoped Ben would not deny him. That he really did still feel that way despite everything that happened after the day they met. That he could…would still follow him cause he sure as hell would, and did, follow him. And they would do it together as lovers and team mates.

Maybe in time, you'll want to be mine…
