Chapter 3:

"Jeeze Kev try not to get all of Upchuck's goo on my bed!" I said laughing while plopping down in front of him going back to my Sumo-Slammers game. I tried not to focus on the fact that if I turned my head around, I would be right in his crotch. My face flashed a light pink, I tried to calm myself.

"Uhm, Ben, a little help?" I heard him call a few grunts escaped his mouth; my heart sped up. I turned around, and all my thoughts were erased. "And you call me dumb?" I shout not being able to stop my laughter. Kevin had been trying to take off his shirt, and his head got caught, and now he was fidgeting trying to get out. "Hold on Kev." I got up and told him to hold still. Involuntarily, I put my knee between his thighs; I could feel them brush his crotch. He grunted again, "Whoops!" I mumbled. I pulled his shirt over his head, it exposed his chest.

"Thanks, where's the bathroom?"

"Down the hall, left." I said pretending to get way into the game, that I had barely an interest in, for now at least. When I lost the game I quickly turned it off so it wouldn't save to my memory card. I got up, I really couldn't hold still. I wanted so bad to rush into the bathroom, and well… My face started to heat up. I shook my head and went over to my bed; I started to take off the sheets. Once I was done I sat on my bed and closed my eyes, taking a few breaths to calm my nerves, and my hormones. I breathed in one more breath, 'what is that smell?!'

I got up and walked to my other window, and drew the curtains. Pushing it up, I observed the surroundings, not much, seeing as Gwen's gone. My door opened, and I abruptly turned around, it was Kevin. In a towel. He just stood there toweling out his hair, I took in his chest. My eyes scanned his abdominal muscles, when I heard a cough. I gazed up shyly to see Kevin staring and smirking. I looked away and my face turned red, is it just me, or I am seeing a pattern? "So Benji, you like what you see?" he said mockingly shaking his hips, my eyes got wide and I looked away, my face betraying me once again, and most likely redder than before, if possible.

"Shaddup Kevin." I said staring in his eyes now. "I was looking at the...hideous scar right there"

"What scar?"He said checking out his body. I could tell he was worried. "The one on your face." I said my comeback rather lame.

"Tennyson," he warned, "don't push it!" I snickered at the double meaning, which I doubt he got.

"What?" he asked clearly dumbfounded. "Nothing." I commented peering back out of the window. Kevin walked back to my dresser, and started opening drawers, I just stared. "You are not going to fit into those!" I said smirking.

"So?" he questioned, "you'll enjoy the show" Winking, he left my room.

When Kevin came back in, I tried not to look at him. He was shirtless…again. Plus the shorts he was wearing, let's just say they caught my attention, they left no mystery, and the mystery was quite huge to begin with. I pulled my eyes away, so he wouldn't call me out for it. I got off my bed and went to the door, "I'm getting into the shower." He just grunted as the start screen for sumo slammers flashed on my TV. Going into the bathroom, I closed the door. I didn't bother to lock it. I figured no one would bother me. I waddled over to the shower, and turned it on. The moisture in the air was palpable, I slowly undressed. Peeling my clothes off was like peeling away the stress, nerves, and not to mention sexual tension.

I had just taken my pants off when the door burst open, and I jumped about twenty feet. It was only Kevin. "Gosh Kevin," I shouted taking a breath, "what do you want?"

"Ben…major emergency, where is your…" He didn't feel his sentence because his eyes glazed over as he took in my appearance, I could feel his eyes sweep over my lean frame, then focusing on my lower half. If ya know what I meant. "You like what you see?" I said imitating his words, how he had said not even 10 minutes before. Ignoring my question he stepped closer to me, and closer, and closer. His black eyes still looked glazed over. I couldn't recognize any emotion placed in there. For a brief second I thought I saw two emotions, the pushed me closer to him.

Their names were desire, and need.
