Chapter Three : Lets spill it
"She what?!", Ben spat.
"Yeah, you heard right; she kissed me on the cheek", Kevin sighed.
Kevin managed to get Ben alone after breakfast, while the girls spent time on the two hammocks they put up for themselves.
"Are you serious?!" Ben hissed, as he looked over his shoulders to make sure the two girls didn't notice his conversation. He and Kevin were stuck with the dishes for today.
"Yeah, I am!" Kevin answered calmly, washing a plate.
"Until yesterday she wanted to kill you; then for one whole day she goes mute; and now she has kissed YOU on the cheek?!"
Kevin sighed deeply in reply, "I'm just as freaked as you are."
Ben stopped wiping the dishes Kevin passed him, as mumbled, "Maybe she's finally adjusting to our love affair?"
"Could be. Or maybe it's just her defensive mechanism to play it cool."
They went back to washing dishes again. Since there were only four of them, the dishes weren't so many and their job was over in a snap. And now, the boys sat under a tree; Ben held a comic book in his hand, while Kevin had his iPod, just in case Julie caught up to them in surprise.
"Hey, look on the bright side," Ben smiled at Kevin, "We don't have an angry Gwen on our heads anymore!"
Kevin cocked his head, scratching the back of his neck, "Yeah, but we still have to watch out for Julie!"
"That's ok; 'cause she's almost always spending time with Gwen on girly things - ", and to prove his point, he pulled Kevin to his side and pointed at the girls; who were exchanging giggles and laughs over fashion magazines they bought from home.
"Well, aint that dandy..." Kevin grinned, his face deadly close to Ben, the proximity gained when he had pulled Kevin against him.
Ben turned a little, to see that Kevin was gazing at his lips. With a smile, he let himself be kissed, deeply. Their daylight romance was now less restricted provided they stayed away from Julie's view; and they could live with that for now.
As Ben gripped the raven hair in an attempt to keep his moans silent, Kevin dissolved into Ben's mouth.
God, I love this kid!
The next night.
"Y'know, Tennyson... Maybe what we're doing here is wrong..." Kevin mumbled. The two had just finished their round of sex, and now lay calm; Kevin staring up at the stars, while Ben lay beside him, hugging his bare, muscular chest. When Kevin spoke what he did, Ben panicked, greatly.
"Are you saying you want to break up with me?!" he mewed with teary eyes.
Kevin grunted, "Idiot", gave out a sigh, and then snapped, "The day I do that, will be the day I die!"
The brunette smiled relief, cuddling closer to the radiating heat of Kevin's unclothed body.
"What I meant was; I think It's wrong for you to cheat Julie like this."
Ben looked up at him with wide green eyes, "What are you implying?"
"I think you should tell her, about us. I mean, it's gotta come out one day or the other! So it's best if we tell her when there's no one else but the four of us; in case she doesn't take the news well."
Pondering, Ben traced stray circles on the pale skin, "Yeah, you're right. Since Gwen is being all 'ok' with it, maybe we CAN tell Julie. AND it will save us the trouble of always dodging her when we make out."
Nodding, Kevin sighed, "Hopefully, let's do it tomorrow", and turning over towards his younger counterpart, he planted a kiss upon the brunette head, which snugly pressed against him.
Ben smiled, "And hopefully, things might go well."
The next day.
This was really hard for Ben and Kevin. It was already afternoon by the time they had mustered up the courage to break the news to Julie.
The two stood side by side, looking at the girls who sat talking in earnest by the lake.
"Um, Julie? Could you come over for a minute?", called out Ben, his voice betrayed a little nervousness. Julie and Gwen turned to behold the boys looking at them in the awkward manner. Sharing glances with each other, the two got up and walked towards the brunette and raven.
Kevin was a few steps behind Ben, because this was between Ben and Julie. Gwen stayed a few steps behind Julie, because she seemed to guess what Ben was about to tell her, but the redhead did nothing to stop him.
"Uh, Julie; there's something important I need to tell you..." Ben spoke in a strained and embarrassed voice. And before he could continue, Julie stopped him saying, "No, um, before you say anything; I need to tell YOU something important!"
Ben recoiled a little, "Uh, OK?"
Taking a deep breath she spoke , "We need to break up, Ben."
Kevin raised an eyebrow in surprise, Ok, didn't see THAT coming...
Ben looked at Julie, stupid and lost.
That was what I was gonna tell HER! he thought.
"Uh, why?" he asked awkwardly. Inwardly he was pleased, because if she wanted to break up with him, it made the process easier for him to tell her his side of the news. But he just needed to know why Julie had the thought all of a sudden.
"Well...I'm sorry Ben, but I found someone else. You're a great guy, but it admittedly it never worked out between us! We can stay as good friends, but I don't think there's any point in us trying to keep a romantic relationship!" she spoke in soft gentle tones as she always does.
Ben blinked at her stupidly. "Oh."
Kevin was feeling a smug and satisfied. This is gonna go well. Anyway, she can't really say anything worse than what Ben has to say, "I'm in love with my best friend."
Ben scratched the back of his head, "Uh, don't consider me nosy but, since when did you find...?"
"A few days ago", she smiled apologetically.
Kevin frowned a little. Wait a minute...
Then it struck Ben too. "Uh, wait, did you just say 'a few days ago'?!"
"Yeah, that's what I said", she agreed calmly.
"But, how is that possible? I mean, it's been several days since we started camping; and its only been four of us together! Where did you find time for someone else?!"
Julie looked at him as if she couldn't believe how naive he was.
Ben confusedly continued, "I mean, it was just me, Kevin, you and G..." and then his face stalled.
Kevin's head went Boink!.
Ben stared at Julie, who smiled slowly, a red blush glowing on her fair face. Stepping backwards till her stood side-by-side with Gwen, she spoke holding hands with the redhead, "Yeah, Gwen. I'm in love with my best friend."
Holy shit, thought Kevin, I guess I was wrong when I thought she wouldn't say that!
Ben gaped and gaped. "Gwen and Julie?! Together?!" his eyes went so wide that they could almost pop out of their sockets.
"Don't look at me like that, Ben! It might be disgusting to you, but this is serious to me!" the Asian whimpered, her fingers tightening on to Gwen's.
Kevin's brown eyes were melding with the green eyes of Gwen, who smirked in such a Levin fashion that the Levin himself almost choked.
Ben gave out a deep sigh. It was a sudden shock to him; maybe he was so occupied with his own affair with Kevin, that he was too blind to see this coming.
"Uh..." he looked at his cousin for help, who awarded him with the same smirk.
Julie looked very much uncomfortable, and finally after saying nothing for a long time, Gwen spoke, to Julie, "Don't be so hard on yourself, Julie. It's not like you have to be embarrassed to confess you're gay, to a bunch of gays."
Julie looked at her in surprise, "What?!" and her best friend looked pointedly at the boys, "Ask them." Julie turned to the two boys who blinked back at her.
"Which comes to the important thing I was about to say to you", Ben said, feeling a little dumb, "I wanted to break up with you too, not 'cause you're horrible or anything, but 'cause, I had been craving for someone else", and he looked over his shoulder, and in cue, Kevin stepped forward, not even in the least embarrassed, in fact he looked as he always did, calm and blank with a bit of his roguish charm thrown in for good measure.
Julie's face widened exactly the way Ben's had when he learnt about her and her best friend.
All in all, each pair looked like the mirror-image gender-opposites of the other!
"What...Ben and Kevin?! Together?!" and she turned to her new lover, "And you knew about this?!"
Gwen sighed, running her free hand through her hair, and spoke, "I'm sorry Julie, it's not like I chose to find out! I caught them in the act by mistake, and ever since I struggled to keep it a secret from you, so that you don't feel hurt knowing that Ben was cheating on you."
Julie looked warmly at her, "Aw, really?" to which she nodded, "I struggled a lot considering how horny those two are..." giving them a glare, she paused. Then all of a sudden, she smiled, at Kevin, though she addressed her words to Julie, "But I realised I was just being a nuisance to the true love they have for each other. And all thanks to some brilliant advice that Kevin gave me, I finally opened my eyes and saw what was the real reason behind me being so repellent to them..." and turning back to Julie, "It was because I wanted to protect YOUR feelings, which led me to the conclusion that I loved you."
Julie smiled, holding back the great urge to kiss her.
Kevin and Ben finally deciphered why Gwen had been so thoughtful one day, and then so happy since.
"But of course, I couldn't have done it without their irritable selves, so thank you, guys", Gwen smiled rather boyishly at her cousin and ex-boyfriend, whilst enjoying the effect on their faces.
"You're whole-heartedly welcome", answered Kevin, because Ben was too busy digesting the facts, to speak.
Julie spoke, "So you guys have been together since when?"
"Uh, since maybe the third day we started camping?" answered Ben, finally finding his voice.
Julie cocked a smart smile, "So that explains the nail-marks on your arms? Which you 'accidentally' caught from 'thorny bushes'?"
Ben smiled sheepishly, at which Kevin spoke, "I told him to cut his nails, but would he listen? Oh, no he wouldn't!", and Julie laughed as a reply.
There was a few moments of silence, as the news sank in.
"Wow, isn't this all weird and comfy?" Julie sighed looking around. She too had expected an angry outburst from Ben when she decided to tell him the truth. Lucky for both sides that it turned out rather...well.
"So we're all cool?" asked Kevin, looking around at them.
"Yeah", "Yup", "Yes!" came the three answers, and Kevin continued, "So, all's well that ends well. And now we can spend time here, camping plus romancing, without any hiding or dodging from each other right?"
"Right!" came their unanimous reply.
All four of them beamed happily.
Today was indeed a great day!
One could say that this was a happy ending.
Since that afternoon, the guys could hang out in private, so could the girls. They could lie in the lake together, kissing or doing whatever they liked without being stared at. They could share hammocks, lie in the sun, lay on the beach chairs...anything. No more was there any tiptoeing and avoiding other eyes, no more waking up early for Kevin to fix Ben's clothes. It was almost like a dream come true, their camping had become a romantic honeymoon-like event!
A few nights later:
"Kinda quiet isn't it?" whispered Julie in the dark, to which Gwen answered, "All the better, right?"
Julie smiled, though it was dark she could see Gwen in the bluish white moonlight, and she could feel the warm hand sliding up her arm, as the redhead slowly lowered her head upon the Asian's; Gwen's full lips locking on Julie's small rosebud pair. As their kiss deepened, Gwen raised herself off from beside Julie, and on all fours, hovered over the younger female. Once rendered breathless, they broke the kiss, Julie griping on to Gwen's silk nightshirt when the redhead lowered her lips to the slender neck. Her long red hair fell everywhere, and Julie liked it against her skin and cherished the silky feeling against her cheek.
By the time Gwen had reached Julie's collarbones with her tongue, her green eyes shot open.
Slowly she raised her head a little and turned her eyes towards the bush wall that separated the boys from them.
Just as she had suspected the presence by her manna, there were two pairs of eyes peering at them through the bush!
Julie, feeling the loss of contact she was enjoying, opened her eyes too. Following Gwen's line of sight, she caught the pair of eyes peeping at them.
"Eek!" Julie squeaked, her face going red, she tried to hide her skimpily-dressed self, but Gwen held her down, not moving from her position. Gwen glared in a deadly manner, her hair falling in strands on her own face, at the brown and green eyes that had been peering but suddenly retreated when found caught peeping!
Gwen growled under her breath, as she got up to her feet, Julie following with embarrassed eyes. Walking over to the bush wall, she easily caught Ben and Kevin crouching on their side of the partition, sneaking a peek at the girls!
Gwen stared down at them from her towering height considering that they were sitting and she was standing; a terror in her light-blue night shirt and shorts.
"Explain yourselves", she growled at them, it was easily understood that she was very pissed at being interrupted.
Kevin grinned sheepishly, "We were just curious!" and Ben nodded heartily in agreement.
"So, when I want you guys to stop making out, you two fuck right in front of my face; and now I want some privacy and you guys are CURIOUS?!" Gwen was near to exploding, she would have lashed at them, but Julie held her back, "Come now, Gwen; it's only natural they would be curious! Forgive them, please! For me?"
Gwen gave in, and stopped wanting to tear down on them. Her nostrils flared at the two who went "Phew!"
"You guys better not forget I'm an anodite and I can sense your presence!"
"Threat taken!" Kevin answered, saluting.
"Good. And Kevin, you better stay outta our asses, and get into Ben's!" and so said, she turned, pulling Julie with her, whilst the two guys stared.
"You know, I was just thinking that!" Kevin grinned at Ben, who stretched out, as if to entice Kevin further.
And the rest...is history.
(Of course, for the next nights on, Gwen put on an energy force field around the girls' sleeping spot, that made herself and Julie invisible, in case the boys wanted another peek at them!)
After two weeks of camping...
Grandpa Max was busy cleaning his weapons from the Plumbers Base, when he heard the familiar purr of the engine of his beloved Rust Bucket.
He turned to bestow happily, his vehicle, which stopped in the garage. The door of the RV opened, and out sprung four healthy teenagers, beautifully tanned and happy.
"Grandpaaaaa!" squealed Ben and Gwen as they ran to him. Max laughed heartily as he encased them in a bear hug.
"Oh, its so good to see my heroes again!" he observed them. Both the Tennyson teens were glowing in joy to see him. "I see, the camping has done you all a world of good! Look at how healthy you four are! I guess a break like this was well-needed!"
"Yeah! This camp really solved everything!", sighed Ben.
"Ahoy, Max!" greeted Kevin, and he and Julie walked up to them.
"Ah, welcome back to the hectic life of saving the world, Kevin!" Max grinned, at which Kevin smiled back. Max thumped him on the back, "I guess some of the weapons here, missed you! Have a look at them for me will ya? I can't get why they don't work!" Kevin nodded and walked to the guns, and such, strewn on the floor.
"Hello, Julie! I guess you had fun?" Max addressed the Asian, who smiled, "Very!"
Then he remembered, "Helen was in charge of looking after Ship today. She's in the Mess Hall now; how about you go meet her?"
At the mention of Ship, she brightened further, "Yes! Thanks!"
Finally turning to his two grandchildren, "So, in the mood for resuming your old life?"
"With a new start!", answered the cousins in unison.
