Disclaimer: I don't own Ben 10.
A/N: I apologize if Kevin seemed out of character in the last chapter. I just wanted him to say something stupid in front of Gwen. Don't hate me. Here's chapter six.
Chapter Six
That asshole.
I can't believe he would say something like that.
Well...maybe I can.
And that's the problem.
Kevin's an idiot.
Our relationship is doomed.
AH! What am I saying?! We don't even have a relationship.
But even if we did, it would be a disaster.
We got in a fight over a movie for crying out loud!
And it gets worse.
I have no clue where I am. I left the movie theatre and headed left, and now I'm lost. The sun set at least an hour ago, and street lamps seem to be hard to come by here. Darkness surrounds me, and I'm walking in it.
Alone.
Okay now I'm the idiot.
Some guy could try to mug me... or rape me... or something.
But I know karate.
But it could be a bunch of guys.
But I have Anadite powers.
But it could be a bunch of alien guys.
...Yep I'm screwed.
Maybe Kevin was right.
I walk. The temperature seems to drop. I feel like I'm in some kind of horror movie.
Great. Watch a zombie-werewolf come try and kill me.
I hear footsteps behind me. I quicken my pace.
Oh God! Oh God! Oh God!
I'm gonna die!
Someone lays a hand on my shoulder, and I do the only thing that my body thinks to...
I swing them over my shoulder and onto the ground.
THUMP!
"Okay, Gwen, you can kick my ass."
"KEVIN!" I've never been happier to see him. I drop down and hold onto his waist for dear life... maybe a little too hard.
"So-so what are you trying to do now, sq-squeeze me to death?"
"Huh? Oh, sorry." I help him up, and before I know it he's reprimanding me.
"What the hell were you doing out here, Gwen?"
"I-I was-I was-"
"Well?"
"..."
"It doesn't matter."
"It doesn't matter? I don't matter? Is that it, Kevin?"
"No.No.No. You matter, Gwen. You matter a lot. That's not what I meant."
"Then what did you mean?' Man this boy is strange.
You could've gotten hurt, Gwen."
See? Kevin can be my knight in shining armor.
"Are you an idiot or something?"
And then he can just piss me off ."Why do you care?"
"That's not the point."
"Yes it is. Why do you care?"
"Don't turn this around on m-"
"I'm not, Kevin. I need to know. Why do you care?" My voice was softer now. Everything seems to quite.
"I-I don't know. I-I just do. You scare me, Gwen."
"I scare you?"
"Not like that...I-I'm just always scared that you'll...get hurt or-or get too close..."
"Get too close to what?"
"Me."
I step forward. I'm almost touching him, "What's so wrong with that."
"Everything," he whispers.
His face is inches from mine. His lips are inches from mine. I can feel his breathe.
Just kiss me, Kevin. Please, before I lose my mind.
"YOU GUYS LEFT ME!"
We both jump back and see Ben with a very cross look etched across his face.
"H-Hey, Ben," Kevin stuttered.
"Don't 'Hey, Ben' me. You left me in the movie theatre. A janiter woke me up. I felt like an
idiot."
"..."
"What were you two doing anyway?"
"N-nothing," we both replied, red in the face.
A/N: So close yet so far away! Let me know what you think.
