The Inhumanities of Humans
"So I guess this is goodbye then huh…?" Kevin starred into those bright pink, shining eyes.
He stood on the bridge where Ben first kidnapped Gwen. Verdona as saying goodbye to Ben and Gwen's parents since Gwen already did. Now, Gwen had one last person to say goodbye to – Kevin.
She noticed he looked so depressed and crestfallen, like nothing would ever save him from the whole he dug himself into. She smiled, as her hair flickered in brightness. Kevin looked down at his plumber badge as words began to appear as though someone was typing them. Glancing back up, he connected that this was Gwen's ways of communicating with him.
'It's not goodbye forever Kevin, just for a little while…'
His eyes narrowed and he threw his head to the side in frustration, "Yeah, right. You're goin to go to Anodine and forget all about me. Meanwhile, I'm goin to be thinkin non stop about you. This is all so lame…I don't want you to go Gwen, not when I-"
The sound of the badge beeped.
'When what…?'
"It's nothing." His cheeks began to burn red, "Forget I said anything."
Gwen reached out her hands and gently tugged him face to face with her, 'This could be your last change to tell me anything. Please, don't leave me in the dark.'
Maybe it was the truth of that statement that hit him, but Kevin couldn't look into her glowing eyes and deny her the answer she always wanted to hear from him.
"Not when I can finally admit to myself how much I really need you. How much you mean to me. I…I want to be with you Gwen. I think I'm in lo-"
That's when lips met. Gwen floated at his level so he wouldn't hurt his back, and held his face between her hands as though she held the most precious item in the world. She felt him kiss back and lay his hands at her hips. Their eyes were closed, just trying to take in possibly the first and only moment of their long pent up feelings. Expressing them in one, explosive and passionate kiss.
Gwen pulled away first, feeling the stares of her family on both her and Kevin, but ignored them, their gazes never left each other.
"Promise you won't fall for any big shot energy beings while you're there, okay?"
She smiled, as the badge beeped again. 'As long as you promise not to fall for anyone either.'
He gave her a cocky grin, "Earth girls? They aren't really my type. I only go for the half human-half Anodites."
