Julie's POV;
Ben was lying unconscious on the battlefield. It had been another close scrape with the Forever Knights, who had tried to take Ship from us for the umpteenth time, but we had saved him none the less. But I wasn't worried about him right now when my boyfriend was lying beaten, bloody, and bruised on the ground. I, immediately, rushed to his side with Kevin, Elaina, Necxi, and Gwen right behind me.
Elaina and I kneeled near his head, tears forming in our eyes. "No please no," I heard Gwen and Necxi whisper together. Our hero couldn't be dead, he just couldn't. We all loved him dearly (but nobody could really call Kevin a fan). It was hard to imagine the world without him.
We had just about lost hope of him being alive when he started coughing. "…10," he choked, finishing the countdown he had started before he was taken by surprise by the Forever Knights' ambush, since they were expecting us. Elaina and I let a breath we didn't realize we were holding in. Kevin, Necxi, and Gwen all smiled ruefully and Ship bounced his towards us.
"Ship! Ship!" my pet chirped. He nudged Ben's side affectionately and Ben smiled at our pet Mechamorph and petted him on his head.
"Please, Ben don't you scare us like that!" I whispered brushing the hair out his beautiful emerald green eyes. He looked up at me and stared directly into my eyes, smiling. His eyes and their brightness felt like they were peering into my soul. They seemed to take my breath away. He raised his hand to gently touch my cheek and I held his hand there.
"Like I would ever leave you and Elaina in this mess we call a world," he said, smiling ruefully. I smiled and leaned down until his lips were pressed gently against mine. That small kiss still felt like fuel to him and I knew it, because it kinda felt like fuel to me too.
"Can you stand?" Gwen asked Ben. I jumped slightly. I almost forgot that she, Kevin, Elaina, and Necxi were still there. She, Elaina, and Necxi were both smiling at the scene and Kevin looked disgusted with the 'mush'.
"As long as I have both Julie and Elaina with me, I'll have the strength to do anything," Ben said with a smile. Elaina and I looked up at and smiled at each other with tears in our eyes. From that moment on I knew he would love us forever.
