Kevin's Try
It was 110:30 pm already, and dark. Very dark. But Kevin didn't mind staying late at the auto shop, he got paid overtime for it, and this was money he needed. He liked working at the garage at night, it was peaceful and he didn't have to deal with other mechanics and customers.
Kevin was almost done working on a car's transmission when he heard his phone ringing from the table nearby. He perked up and broke his concentration he had set on the car. The muscular teen picked up the phone and saw it was Gwen calling. He assumed that she was calling for him to pick her and Ben up for a mission.
"Hey Gwen, whats the mission?" he asked casually. "Are you kidding me Kevin? Don't pretend I don't know what you did, Ben just told me everything, I cant believe the two of you would go behind my back and do something like that! You lied to me, right to my face!"
Kevin was taken aback from getting a mouthful from Gwen. "Shit!" he thought, "Why would Ben tell her?" "Gwen, listen. I did mean what I told you, but Ben told me how he felt and I sorta realized I have the same feelings."
"But you told me you didn't like him." She rebutted. "You told me it was a joke! So is that what I am to you Kevin? Just a joke?" Kevin could tell how upset Gwen was, even over the phone. Her tone was more serious than he'd heard before, and he could hear her sniffle after pausing. She was crying. Ben and Kevin had made her cry.
"Gwen, I don't think you're a joke. I just-I just didn't want to tell you how I honestly felt about Ben because you don't see me like that. I have an image as a tough guy, a badass. Not a sissy queer. And I was just afraid that if you found out, others would. It's a small town, word travels fast."
Gwen sniffled again and blew her nose. "So you don't trust me with your secrets? I thought that after you joined out team that we would become allies, friends." Kevin put his head down, feeling ashamed that he didn't realize how he'd made Gwen feel. "I'm really sorry Gwen, I really didn't think. I didn't realize how much I hurt you, and how much you trusted me."
Gwen paused before she spoke, "Of course I trust you Kevin. Ben told me that you've changed, and that we could trust you. So I did. But since you joined the team, you've done nothing but give me reasons to doubt you. With all your backdoor trades, your lying and now this with Ben."
"But I have changed!" Kevin yelled into the phone, "I cant just turn on a switch and automatically become a good guy, it takes time. I was in the null void, I was a criminal, and now I want to do good, it just takes a while to break some habits." Kevin was telling things to Gwen he'd never told anyone. On one hand it felt good to finally vent about his frustrations, but at the same time he knew he wasn't helping his case with Gwen about not being able to trust him.
"I'm sorry." Gwen told the older boy. "I guess I never realized how hard it was for you." Kevin stopped for a second, "Wait, wasn't she just upset at me, and now shes apologizing?"
"Gwen, you have nothing to be sorry for, these are my problems, and I can sort them out. I just need some time. I'm the one who should be sorry. I lied to you and gave you more reason to hate me. So I'll understand if you want me off the team." Kevin didn't mean to say that last part, he didn't want to put that idea in Gwen's head.
If her and Ben expelled him from the plumbers, he would be lost and probably go back to a life of crime, eventually sending him back into the null void. And there was no way he was going back there.
"We would never kick you off the team Kevin, we're family now, and we can work through this together. No matter how awkward, or difficult the situation is." Kevin was relieved to hear this. 'Thank you Gwen, I'm really sorry. You wont regret giving me a second chance!"
Gwen rolled her eyes, even though Kevin couldn't see that over the phone. "Make that your seventh chance. Just be honest from now on." Gwen told him. "The stronger our trust, the better we can work as a team."
"Speaking of the team," Kevin interrupted. "What did you say to Ben?" Kevin had assumed Ben was the one to tell her about what happened since there was no other way for her to find out. "We had a talk. He told me about what happened, and I yelled at him, he cried and then apologized."
Kevin blushed thinking about Ben struggling with trying to tell Gwen about what they did. His face started to burn thinking about Ben's touch. "Kevin? You still there?" Gwen asked, snapping the older teen out of his dreamy state.
"Oh, sorry. Yeah, I'm here. So are you and Ben okay?" Kevin hoped that what he did wouldn't result in the cousins feuding. "After Ben calmed down we both came to a conclusion that it would be best for the team if you and Ben took a break from each other… sexually."
Kevin was stunned. "Uhhh-haha. Yeah, if you guys think its better for the team, then I'm all for it." Kevin lied again. 'Shit, why did Ben have to ruin everything, and in less than a day too..'
"Oh goody! Thank you Kevin, I'm really glad you agree! Well I've got an early morning, so I'll talk to you later, good night!" She hung up before Kevin could say "good night" back.
Kevin took the phone away from his ear and looked at it. There was a unread text message from 'Benji.' Kevin opened it, simply reading "I'm sorry. I owe you." Kevin grinned at the message. He replied to it saying, "You fucking owe me big time."
Kevin put the phone into his pocket and walked over to his car to close the hood. He turned off all the lights in the garage and got into the car and sat in the drivers seat. The raven-haired teen let out a big sigh before starting up the engine and pulling out of the building. "What the hell am I going to do with this raging hard-on Bens supposed to take care of?" Kevin grumbled to himself.
To Be Continued...
Yeahh... so what did everyone think? I know you were all expecting to read Gwen yelling at Benji, but i think we all know how that would go,
Ben: I slept with Kevin, sorry.
Gwen: You asshole *sobs*
