ITS A WILD LIFE
Chapter twenty nine: Back to normal...or is it?
Gwen and Julie beamed as they put the plates of pancakes on the table. They were nice enough to drop in with breakfast, owing to Gwen's understanding that neither of the boys would have got up to make breakfast anyway.
"I actually slept well! Despite the partying and the fighting!" Julie smiled as she placed the jug of syrup in place. Gwen nodded in agreement, "Yeah, me too. But it's a tough break for the guys, so I guess they're sleeping their asses off. What time is it again?"
Julie looked over her shoulder at the snazzy black clock that hung on the wall of Kevin's home.
"Nine thirty two, a.m!" she grinned, "Talk about a late breakfast!"
Gwen laughed, "Ha! For them, as long as its food, it doesn't matter what time it is! Shall we wait a few more minutes before we wake them up?"
"Ok!"
So the girls, (who were here because they had the spare key to Kevin's home for the time being) arranged the food on the table. Gwen had been pouring orange juice into the two glasses when she heard shuffling of feet, more like dragging of feet, from upstairs.
The two looked up, to see a figure walk down the stairs, yawning and rubbing one eye. Dressed in nothing but a bed sheet.
"Uh... good morning, Kevin," Julie raised an eyebrow at the attire of the descending raven. His hair was all tousled and messy. Giving out another yawn, he ran his fingers through the locks, brushing them out of his eyes.
When he reached the foot of the stairs, he blinked sleepily at the scene at the table.
"Oh, hey girls, didn't expect you two here,... what's all that?" he spoke slurred; hands on his hips in confusion. He didn't even mind the fact that all he wore was that bed sheet, like a gown around his low waist. Glorious upper body bare to be stared at, while his lower half was hidden in the folds of white, with one shin visible.
"Its breakfast!" Gwen and Julie sang cheerfully. The red-head continued to explain, "We thought you guys needed some rest, and since we were all perked up, we decided to treat you to a once-only service!"
Kevin blinked again. "Gee, girls, that's kinda sweet of y'all..." smugly smiling at them. He yawned again as the two female eyes ran all over him in suspicion.
"Yeah, I think I'm gonna take a shower. As much as I hate to wash Ben offa me..." he smirked at the floor, as he turned and walked back up the stairs.
"Do you think they...?" Julie whispered aside to her best friend. Gwen opened her mouth to say that she wasn't sure because it was too soon, until...
Kevin's voice mumbled from upstairs, "Ow, I think I broke my back last night."
Gwen sighed, rolling her green eyes. "Yeah; they did it."
There came the sound of the bathroom door opening and then closing with a click of a lock.
o.o.o
Ben and Kevin sat happily at the table. The girls served them lovingly, and sat down as well. A second helping wouldn't be so bad.
Ben beamed down at the pancakes with the dollop of syrup oozing across its surface and down the edges. He had been denied pancakes when he was a Vulphorous, because it brought him memories of Kevin. But now, it was all at his happy reach.
Forking a big piece, Ben stuffed his mouth and chomped away like a two year old, oblivious to the stares of his boyfriend, his cousin and his ex. Not that they were worried, for they knew it was a sweet come-back for Ben. He will be wolfing it all day for all they care!
"So... you guys had fun last night, huh?" Gwen asked icily, her green eyes narrowed and her full lips smirking as she elegantly cut an apple for herself and Julie.
Kevin looked at the female Tennyson, he knew the question was directed more at him than at Ben (who was too busy eating to pay attention anyway) so he decided to reply.
"You bet," Kevin grinned shamelessly, "We went all out and we were so turned and so-"
"No details; not now, over food," Gwen raised a hand while her face looked sick. Ben chuckled and laughed, nearly choking on the pancakes, ending up in Julie handing him his glass of juice in panic and Kevin thumping his beloved on the small of his spine. Gwen rolled her eyes.
"Ok, not that I'm surprised that you guys did it, but I mean you guys just got here last night!"
"Desperation has its toll, Gwen dear," Kevin grinned smugly as he poured some more syrup on his stack of disk-like pancakes, "You'll know all about how that feels, when you fall in love some day."
Gwen grumbled and looked away. Kevin thought he heard something along the lines of 'relationship', 'idiot', 'girl', 'know better'.
Julie was always good at lightening the mood. She happily chattered about how they all could pamper Ben today, spoil him to the core for only one day, to make up for all the restrictions and marred happiness he suffered as a Vulphorous. Kevin only joined the plan eagerly, and when no one noticed, he added a sneaky grin.
Probably the great day started with Kevin ordering a smoothie each of almost every flavour under the Mr. Smoothie's making. Ben nearly fainted in joy. And then the four went out to the amusement park and made sure Ben had his fill of whatever he wanted to eat, and throw up while going on whatever ride he wanted to ride. (Kevin had murmured to Ben that 'you'll be ridden on by the night, so you oughta enjoy your rides while it lasts'. Ben only blushed beet red with a grin.)
By evening, they had a long marathon of the scariest movies in Kevin's DVD collection, followed by long gaming sessions that even the girls could participate in. By the time it was dark, the girls left leaving Ben and Kevin alone to their own little, dirty world.
o.o.o
"MOM! DAD!" Ben jumping in delight greeted his parents with open arms.
Ben, Max, Kevin, Gwen and Julie had accompanied Gwen's parents and her brother to pick up Sandra and Carl from the airport. After their family meeting, it seems the two adults were tired, but happy.
Sandra gripped her only son in a tight, bone-crushing embrace that spoke more than her rants, "Oh, my baby! So happy to see you again! Did you miss mommy?"
"Mom! Whatever happened to 'call me Sandra'?! You're embarrassing me..." Ben blushed, looking over his mom's shoulder to see his cousins and friends snickering with grins. Ben smiled to himself, holding him mom lovingly.
Sandra pulled back, and beamed happily at him, kissing him on the forehead, "Oh, I am so sorry, but I really was worried whether you were alright. But since you had company I was somewhat consoled. Did you have a good time? Did you trouble Max too much? Or Gwen?"
She turned to greet the rest, while Carl bestowed his son with a more friendly (and less strangling) bear hug.
Ben sighed. Good time? Mine's a wild life, mom. But I always have a good time too. Only problem is that there are bad times as well. But I guess that's life.
"C'mon, Tennyson, you gonna stand there all day?!" Kevin called out. Ben blinked out of his trailing thoughts and laughed, "Sorry, yeah, wait up!"
Kevin smiled as he gestured Ben to hurry up. The rest of them were still chatting, Ken was loading the luggage into the green Camero's trunk.
Around Sandra and Carl, Ben and Kevin were just best friends or even frenemies. The ydid not want to let a single action from their part to give away their secret affair. And having lived so long with the hero-secret, this was not a big ordeal.
Ben only smiled as Kevin smacked him friendly on the shoulder to get in the car. If neither of Ben's parents were present, Kevin would have hoisted Ben on to the hood and kissed him into getting in the car.
It was a wonder that ten people could fit snugly and comfortably in the car. But considering this was Kevin's car, it was idiotic to wonder. The technology he possessed helped him expand the space of the back seats, without making the car look big from outside. (Very much like how he had created a room for the girls in his home when Ben had been a Vulphorous.) It did catch the attention of curious passerby or two, who noticed eight people climb into the back seats like clowns into a tiny clown car.
But who really pays attention, right?
As the eight chatted away, Ben and Kevin in the front grinned as the raven drove the car out of the airport parking space and towards the unused Tennyson home.
