"Hey," Ben said, running into the garage and toppling into the couch on the side. "Can you help me out?"

"With?" Kevin asked softly from beneath his car. There were a few clanging noises. A wrench nearly missed hitting his face. It would've left a pretty bad ding in his now permanent armor. "If it's anything insane, count me out."

"No, I just want you to quiz me on a spelling test I have tomorrow."

Even Kevin knew that spelling wasn't taught in a freshman year of high school. He'd skipped out on freshman year. And sophomore year too now. "Um, okay then."

A slip of paper was shoved under the car unexpectedly. "Thanks! I totally owe you!"

Kevin watched Ben's Converse clad feet disappear as he headed back towards the couch. Blinking a few times, he asked, "What do you want me to do?" Spelling wasn't a forte of his. Neither was reading.

"Read off a word and I'll spell it and you just tell me if I spell it right." Ben sounded overly confident.

"A bit complicated don't you think?"

Ben let out a snort of a laugh. "Nope."

Obsidian eyes skimming the list, Kevin caught one word that even he knew how to spell. "Moron."

"Really?" Ben asked. An eyebrow raised to question this. "That's on the list?"

"Yeah. Spell it." Kevin fought off snickers.

"Uh…" Ben traced through his thoughts. "M-O-R-O-N."

Kevin smirked in his natural way. "Nope."

Ben's eyes widened. He knew he had it right. He knew it. "What? How?!" He scrambled to his feet. Pacing over to the vehicle, he got down on his knees to look under the car at Kevin who was obviously scheming. "Kevin…"

"It's B-E-N. Duh." Kevin threw the paper out at Ben's face. "Now get out of my garage. I got work to do." He picked up his wrench again and pressed it next to the bolt he had to work on tightening.

Ben scowled and left, annoyed.

Three hours later, the brunette figured out that moron was not spelled B-E-N.
