Chapter 7 Introductions

"This room is huge," Kevin said, looking slightly awestruck. "Why is it so big?"

"Well it kind of has to be big, Kev," Ben answered, his green eyes shining with amusement at his reaction.

"This is where the incoming spaceships land after they've been given access papers."

"Really?"

"Yes. It's also the only place on earth that spacecrafts are allowed to land legally. That might change eventually, but for now it's my responsibility to deal with.

There are lots of reasons why they come here. Some come to trade goods, others come to drop off passengers. Some of them come just to visit, like tourists, well some come here to stay and build a new life for themselves, like Alec. He's a really great guy."

"You sound like you have a crush on him," Kevin said teasingly.

"Well…" Ben began, snickering when Kevin glared at him fiercely.

"Only kidding, baby. Even if I didn't love you more then Juliet loved Romeo, he's so, well, gray. And short. Very short. Not to be crude, but how in Vilgax's foul name would the sex work?"

"It wouldn't."

"Exactly."

Ben wandered over to a small box that was bolted onto the wall, pulling his identification card out of his wallet and swiping it on the side of it like you would a credit card.

There was a loud click and a female computerized voice spoke.

Ben Tennyson, Holder of the Omnitrix, Leader of The Base. Please submit access-code for identity-confirmation

Kevin watched as Ben typed in his seven-letter access-code quickly.

Ben Tennyson, confirmed, the voice spoke again.

"Well, will you look at that. There's a ship landing in about twenty minutes to drop off some of the families of the aliens that live here for a visit. Do you want to hang around until then?"

"Hell yes I do," Kevin answered. "Is that Alec guy going to be here?"

"I knew you'd say that," Ben grinned, pressing a small button that made a small computer with mouse and keyboard fold out of the wall.

"I don't know, let me check."

His fingers nearly flew over the keys as his green eyes stared at the screen.

"This says his mother, sister and brother are on the flight coming in, so, yeah, he should be here in about ten minutes. It'll take him about five minutes to get through the security here, so he'll be here five minutes earlier then the flight."

"Why didn't I have to go through security?"

"Because you're with me. Nobody here would dare insult you by suggesting it for fear of losing their job here."

'Would you actually fire them?"

"Yes. So, what do you want to do for ten minutes?"

"You're incorrigible, Ben," Kevin purred, walking over to him slowly.

"I-I can't help it," Ben stammered guiltily. "Your just so hot. Add that to nine years of suppressed sexual-desire… Well, you get the idea…"

"Oh I get it. I get it quite clearly…"

He moaned softly as Kevin's lips captured his, stunned when he felt his boyfriend's already rock-hard erection against his left hip, triggering his own quickly.

Ben's hands gripped Kevin's shoulders as his lips moved down to his neck, tilting his head to give him more access eagerly.

"Do you… Think that we… Can get off and… cleaned up in seven minutes?" Ben panted, rocking his hips against Kevin's unconsciously.

"Course we can…"

* * * * *

They made it. Barely. Kevin was smiling as he glanced at Ben's flushed face, his lips redder then usual and swollen from their kisses, knowing that he probably looked just as overheated and ravished.

The aliens started to come in just as Kevin reached over and took Ben's hand in his, entwining their fingers together, leaning closer to press his lips against his neck, licking the back of his ear playfully.

Ben yelped softly in surprise, squirming, but he didn't try to get away, shivering as Kevin nibbled on the back of his ear gently before pulling back slowly.

"Hey, Alec," Ben called, gesturing for him to come over. "How have you been?"

The Grey-Matter grinned up at him as he walked over to them.

"I am wonderful. The little girl I teach, Tina, she is very smart for a human. Perhaps even smarter them me," he laughed, shaking Ben's hand in greeting.

"I thank you for this wonderful opportunity to live and teach here, Ben. Earth is a beautiful planet, and I am honored to call her my home."

Ben smiled, nodding. "I'm just glad that you're happy here."

"I am. I cannot thank you enough."

"Umm… Yeah…"

"So, who's your friend?"

Ben blinked, blushing, his face turning even redder at his question.

"Oh. Alec, this is Kevin. My boyfriend. Kev, this is Alec."

Kevin laughed, poking Ben in the ribs gently.

"I got that, oddly enough, when you called him over by saying 'hey, Alec'. "

Alec laughed then, glancing at Ben with a curious look, then back to Kevin.

"He is very intelligent, as you said, Ben. I am glad that you are happy now. Is he a good lover?"

Ben blushed again, but he didn't seem offended, smiling as he squeezed Kevin's fingers gently with his.

" 'Good' can't even begin to describe it. There are no words that can be used to explain the intensity of the emotions that I feel with him."

"So he is indescribable? That's what you're saying?" Alec asked teasingly.

"Yes. Exactly. Indescribable. Amazingly, wonderfully, indescribable."

* * * * *

They talked to Alec and his family for a while, but Ben could tell that Kevin was getting a little bored.

"Well, we should probably go, Alec. Kev's getting bored, and since I'm not working today so that I can spend time with him…"

"Of course you must go. Yes. It's perfectly understandable."

Ben smiled, shaking his hand again. "Thank you. I'll see you around though."

"Of course. Goodbye, Ben. Kevin."
