Protect Me by Nehan Shinzui A/N: Okay so here I am checking my Yahoo! account to see if I got any reviews everyday. Nothing. So while I'm thinking how totally unfair this is I decide to reread my stories on the internet on my phone--that's the only way I get to read fanfics during the week. So then as I'm checking out my profile I see that I actually did get reviewed!!!!!! I was totally having a crazy SQUEAL moment--which, trust me, is something I only do when I'm extremely excited--and you wonderful, beautiful, fantastic people gave me such super cool crazy awesome kick ass reviews that I almost instantly started thinking of what to put in Chapter 3. (sigh) People really do love the crazy people don't they? Lol well, so do I! Cash won't be coming up for a major part until Chapter 4 or 5 and so on, but I hope you guys continue to read and review because reviews just make (in the words of Kai-lan) my heart feel super happy! Well, read and enjoy! (Hugs everyone).

Chapter 3: Watching

For weeks after the incident at the lake, Kevin found himself strangely sucked in by his brown-haired companion's presence. It seemed he couldn't stay in the room with him for longer than a half hour without wanting to see him laugh, to get close to him, to touch him. Often he found himself simply wrapping his arms around Ben, whispering into his ear, before realizing that, not only were they in a public place, but that he had no idea if Ben reciprocated his feelings. Usually the younger one would laugh it off as Kevin's idea of a joke and playfully punch him in the arm or something of that nature. Ben's utter obliviousness irked Kevin when he was in the best of moods but he absolutely could not stand it when the younger passed off Kevin's flirting as him kidding around. Especially when Kevin couldn't help but watch him with growing lust each day.
:.:))):))):)))):)))):))zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:))):))))):)))XD Kevin layed the cards on the table. A perfect deck. Ben gave out a moan that caused the dark-haired man to nervously shift in his seat. But he managed to smirk anyway. "Well, Tennyson, I'd say that that's the third time I've beat you today. Time to pay up." Ben rolled his eyes as Gwen, who'd been laying on the couch in the other room came in with a knowing look. Before she could get into some sort of "I told ya so" rant or whatever he said to Kevin, "So what do I gotta do, master?" He wanted Kevin to catch the sarcasm, but he guessed he didn't when an even more devious smirk spread across the older's face. Oh, God he didn't need this shit. Okay, so he was a little bitter about losing three times in a row to the mutant in a time period of only about an hour and a half and the fact that he had to do whatever Kevin said for two days did NOT help the matter. Plus Gwen just had to be a total traitor and semi-take the charcoal-haired's side in taunting him. She was only doing that because she was crushing on the older the stupid...wait, why did he care anyway? Seriously, who cared about Levin's total hotness anyway?....hold on a second...did he just say Kevin was hot?! "Tennyson!"
Ben snapped out of his thoughts. "Uh-wha-huh?"
"I was telling you the conditions, darling." Kevin said sensually causing Ben to jump slightly and Gwen to give the older boy a funny look. "What?" he snapped. "I was fucking kidding." Ben tried to collect himself. "Uh, sure what are they?" Both teens stared back at him with identical exasperated looks. "He just told you that." Chartreuse crinkled in befuddlement. "You have to do everything I say for 48 hours." "Oh shit! Why?"
"Because those were the conditions, smart guy."
Oh,yeah. Right. He didn't get why the older boy was acting so impatient. "Fine." he muttered discontentedly. "Whadd'Ise gotta do?"
Kevin smirked. "I'll save that for later, baby." he said with a glance at the Tennyson's cousin. Gwen rolled her eyes. "Why do ya keep saying stuff like that?" Ben asked.
"Stuff like what?"
"You keep calling me 'baby' or 'darling' and crap like that. And don't say you don't cuz you've been doing that for like, two weeks now and Gwen's even noticed it. Well...she's the one who brought it up but--" Kevin interrupted, "Well, it sounds like Gwenyth needs to mind her damn business and stop instigating." He glared at said permanently uniformed academy student.
She was instantly on the defensive. "Well it's true! You have been taking a weird interest in Ben lately and it's really starting to freak me out." Kevin stood up in sudden anger.
"It wouldn't be your business even if I did have an interest in Ben!"
"I'm not an idiot, Kevin! Anyone can see that huge boner you have whenever he comes in the room!"
"You wouldn't have to worry about these so-called 'boners' if you were'nt on the kid's nuts every fucking second of his life! Try getting your own friends!"
Gwen's voice was shrill. "F.Y.I Kevin Levin I do have friends I just like--to--to--well, why don't you go get some friends? All you ever do is-"
Ben intervened hastily. "Guys, just stop it! It's not anything serious I'm just saying cuz Cash was saying something like that about a couple weeks ago and--" Kevin was suddenly upon him grabbing his face. "What?" he said. "What did you just say?" His rapid shift into almost possesive agression shocked both Tennysons but it somehow made Ben feel...happy.
"What did he say about you?" Kevin demanded his voice lower. Ben thought for a second, pushing the former's hand out of his face.
"It was just something about how he thought he knew what I needed or something--nothing serious I don't think. But, yeah, he called me baby."
"And what did you say?"
Ben shrugged. He really didn't think it was that important or at all interesting; it was only Cash after all and he did stuff like that all the time. But muscled arms grabbed him; Kevin was not at all satisfied with his response. "AND WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" he reiterated loudly. Gwen jumped backwards a little. The youngest was still a bit surprised but he replied in a somewhat calm voice.
"I told him he was being immature and that he wasn't worth the time."
Black eyes bored hole into his. "That's all you said." he stated slowly. Ben nodded."And then what did Cash do?"
"Well, I walked away but I think it meant something to him because he's actually been acting like a normal human being when he's around me. In fact he's been damn right pleasant;
he even wants to hang out with me sometime he said."
"And you believe he's reformed or something?" Kevin's voice was cold and Gwen looked disbelieving. They both waited for his response.
"Um, I don't know what to think but like I said he's been acting mature for a change and you know what he's not half bad." There was silence for a few tense moments. Gwen simply shook her head and left; the sounds of her new car starting engulfed them. Then Kevin slapped him. Hard. Ben clutched his face and stared up at the taller man that now loomed over him with a look of rage on his face that the hero had never seen before. "Don't...talk to him!" Kevin snarled. Gwen's tires screeched against the pavement in the background. "You can't be so stupid as to actually believe someone like that! After all the shit he's done to you? After all the kicks and shoves, and insults, after he spit in your face you're still going to forgive him?!"
The older man was ranting. "You think someone just up and completely changes how they feel about you? No. That asshole's planning something; once an asshole always an asshole."
Ben's cheek stung like a bitch. "Well, you didn't stay an asshole." he said quietly. "You changed. Or I thought until now..." Ben wasn't angry with him. He could see where the older man was coming from and if he was put in Kevin's shoes he would probably do the same thing; that's what friends were for but neither Kevin nor his cousin had seen how Cash was acting lately-he could be quite charming when he wanted to be. It would just take a while for to convince anyone else of that as Cash still acted the same towards others as he always did. "Me? An asshole?! Why, I've never been an asshole a day in my life!" Kevin continued defensively-almost childishly. Ben had a sudden, strong urge to laugh; Kevin sounded exactly like his eleven-year old cousin in denial about who took the last cookie out of the jar. "Yeah, you just had some small anger issues." the younger boy said sarcastically. He smiled and Kevin seemed to calm down a little. "Whatever." the mutant stated trying to maintain his cool. He grabbed his companion and led him into his living room and set him down. "We're watching the car show, Tennyson." Ben groaned.
"What the hell for?"
Kevin smiled this time. "It's part of the deal, sweetheart."
:.:))):))):)))):)))):))zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:))):))))):)))XD Cash sighed. Where in the fuck was Ben? He'd been sitting in the tree outside the boy's house for hours as was usual for him but he hadn't seen hide nor hair of his green-eyed property.
Strange. Ben was almost always home at around four' o'clock if only to check in with his parents. He was such a goody two shoes bitch it almost drove him crazy. It was almost eight now and Cash assumed Ben had called his parents or something already. Not that he was worried or anything--it would be Ben's fault for not allowing the dark-haired man a glimpse of him before he went to sleep or rather, party and smoke throughout the night. Seeing Ben in the flesh just eased the case of blue-balls Cash had whenever he thought about him during the day.
He had been seeing a lot of his favorite little hero during the past couple of weeks and he smiled as he recalled how Ben had started to respond so warmly to him. He had to pay.
And the plan was going perfectly.
:.:))):))):)))):)))):))zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:))):))))):)))XD "Dinner is served Your Royal Assness!"
Kevin looked up from the television to look at the younger boy-turned house slave who held a steaming plate of food in his right hand. He let a smirk slide across his smooth features. He had the smaller boy clean, vacuum, mop, wash his car, clean the garage and various other things that he was supposed to be doing. Recently he had had the boy wash up and prepare his meal. Kevin was actually quite impressed; Ben had completed these tasks in half the time that the mutant had expected him to. He now stood over him impatient and exhausted.
"Well, are ya gonna take the food or do I have to feed it to you?" Ben said. Kevin could not stop grinning. This was turning out to be a fairly pleasing day.
"Yes, actually you can." he replied smugly. Ben began to sputter, "But-but-" Kevin stood up and lifted his partner up bridal-style, insuring the plate remained in his hands, Ben now in his lap. "Feed me." he commanded. The younger hesitated; he appeared about to say something then, but Kevin wrapped his arms around his waist and leaning into his ear, whispered, "C'mon be easy on yourself. I know you want to anyway." He licked his ear, causing Ben to get a strange feeling around his midsection. Kevin felt like he was watching himself from another body.
A hand slid up and down the younger boy's leg resting close to his thigh."Feed me," Kevin repeated. "Then give me something that tastes even better." His voice was so sultry it caused Ben to shudder. The smaller felt like he was in some sort of trance. He began to blush and as the heat spread throughout his face he snapped out of it.
"Hell no!" he shouted. "Kevin, I can't do this, stop!"
Kevin's hands were like vice grips around his waist now and he couldn't hardly move. "We had a deal--unless you'd rather pay triple for it."
"I don't think I--"
"Just feed me." Kevin cut him off. He was so temperamental nowadays. The taller leaned back and picked up the remote, changing the channel. Ben looked at him. Levin's eyes had shifted changed, he now merely looked former's eyes softened. There was just something about Kevin he realized....He lifted the fork and began feeding him.
:.:))):))):)))):)))):))zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:))):))))):)))XD In his bedroom closet was a trapdoor in the ceiling that opened with a pull of a string. If you pulled this string a ladder would slide out and if you climbed this ladder there would be a room and in this room you'd find a light switch. After you pulled this switch you'd most likely see some very interesting things. Like the many pictures of a certain green-eyed Tennyson that adorned the walls. Or the drawings scratched on the floor and desk. Like the computer that held numerous information about the boy including where he lived, his classes,even places he was most likely to visit. There were pictures that dated back to Ben's first grade class. Yes, Cash had a very serious obsession indeed; it disturbed even he sometimes. He couldn't look at Ben without getting angry though; simply because Ben often looked at him in annoyance or something. As much as that pleased him he had enjoyed making the Tennyson boy smile these past two weeks--it made everything that much sweeter. Those his laughter was pleasant he'd be making much more satisfying noises very soon. Ben seemed like he'd be a great screamer. "Jesus..." Just thinking about it was making him incredibly and deliciously hard. Leaning towards the key board he searched for the image that would be perfect for his release. It wasn't difficult. He clicked on a picture of Ben at fifth grade graduation. He was so beautiful even then. Cash slowly slid his pants and underwear away from his waistline,
exposing his stared at the picture long and hard as he pumped himself, soaking in Ben's features until he climaxed.
:.:))):))):)))):)))):))zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:))):))))):)))XD A/N:LOL. It was super fun writing this chapter, though I'm pretty sure you're all pissed at me for drawing this out like this; exaggerated suspense, yes? Don't worry we are getting very close to more interesting stuff. And guess what? I'm starting Double Whammy and Triple Whammy Update Days. What are these you ask? Well, I don't have Internet on my laptop yet and I normally have to wait until the weekend to get on the computer to update my fanfics so normally I just write the stories on my laptop then put them on my USB, then get on the web and put them on. So basically I can write about two or three chapters during the week then just update them all at once! Sound good? And another thing--my mother's boyfriend is bald and stupid and now I can only do homework on the computer so not only will my updates be sketchy but I'm gonna have to sneak around and do them until I get the disk for my wireless router--I need one so I can get Internet on my laptop. I'm really, really sorry about that but my mom's boyfriend is a real hypocritical arsehole. Lol but I kinda had to sneak around anyway cuz my mother and co. seriously do NOT need to know about my yaoi the way, do any of you actually read the author's notes? I mean, I do, but does anybody else? If so, you can come to me with any questions or concerns about the story and I'll try to answer or act on them unless it interferes too much with the story because I already have this planned out. Disclaimer: I don't own Ben Ten Alien Force. Man of Action does. Because they wrote it, not I. I just wrote the fanfiction. Please continue to review.
