A/N: Ah, walking home from Kailynn's house and… yeah…
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. At all.
Ben opened his eyes to see snow all around him. And to feel the cold stinging his skin. And to suddenly roll over in the snow and look at the house behind him and see the front door slamming shut. He looked out at the snow, still falling, tiny crystals dropping from the icy gray sky. "KEVIN!" He stood up in his boxers and began to move towards the door, falling face first in the snow after two steps.
"You are so evil." Gwen shivered and wrapped her scarf tighter around her. She'd only gone outside to make sure her boyfriend hadn't completely stripped her cousin. Torturing him like that would've been over the edge. She was only a partner in crime.
Kevin pinned himself against the door as he peered through the window to see Ben screaming and running for the house only to fall down again on the water that'd turned to ice only a few seconds after Kevin had put the hose on the front steps. "It's my job." He smirked to the girl and held the door shut. "No brother to strip him and leave him out in the cold, so I've taken it upon myself to torment him."
"And you don't have a brother either," noted Gwen with a knowing smile. Her arms folded across her chest as her jade orbs checked the window to see her half naked cousin grabbing at the door knob and tugging as hard as he could while yelling "KEVIN! KEVIN, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
The ebony-haired teen shook his head and gave a harsh laugh. "Very true. I've never really had anyone to torment." His arms were strained as Ben pulled on the other side of the door. He was so glad the Osmosian heritage gave him a little advanced strength.
"Until Ben became a victim."
"Exactly." Kevin managed to keep the door barred shut. "He's so easy too, that's the worst part." He checked over his shoulder to shoot her a big smile before the door was ripped off the hinges and a furious Rath stood outside, orange fur like fire against the snow. His dark eyes checked forward again see the giant tiger-like alien standing before him. Fear crept into his gaze.
"KEVIN ETHAN LEVIN, YOU DESERVE A GOOD BEATING FROM RA-"
"Ben!" Sandra's voice came from the kitchen as her blonde head poked around the wall, gaze tinged with anger. "Did you just break the door?"
Rath's face fell, dejected, wounded. A white paw slammed on the symbol on his chest and a cold, pale Ben stepped inside, arms wrapped around his shivering body. "Kevin shoved me outside!" whimpered the brunette teen, pouting in his mother's general direction.
Sandra's scolding glare found the raven-haired teen. Her lips pursed. "Kevin Levin-"
"He broke the door at my house!" Kevin's protesting was even cuter to Gwen since he had a knit hat over his black hair and almost covering his deep obsidian eyes. "I'm just makin' him break his own door so he has to fix it himself! My mom made me fix mine, and it's not fair 'cause he broke it!"
Her blonde head pulled back around the corner and into the kitchen; the sound of the running sink meant she'd gone back to washing dishes. "Kevin, please fix my front door."
A groan and slumped shoulders later, Kevin was picking up the front door and searching the snow for the bolts and hinges that Rath had ripped out of the doorframe. "It's not fair," he mumbled after tracking back inside and stamping the snow off his shoes while Ben moved back to his room to find his jacket and some pants.
"Well," Gwen said with a content sigh as she leaned against a wall and watched him come in and take his gloves off to begin using his powers for repairs. "You may not have a brother, but you do have another mother."
"Stop rhyming. It makes stuff worse." He absorbed the hinge's brass and began to morph more metal around the door and the busted screws. Kevin took a brief pause in his work and looked over his shoulder with a twisted little smirk and a devilish gleam in his eyes. "And it's a sign of witches."
Gwen rolled her eyes and began to move off to see if her aunt needed help with the dishes while pulling the blue scarf from around her neck and tossing it on the couch. "You're evil and weird."
He grinned and turned back to his work after calling out a brief "Thank you!"
