Title: I love you Because
By: PurplePrincess
Rejected,
As I've come to find,
I wonder how I could be so blind.
Stupid,
So idiotic,
Moronic.

Kevin crumpled up the paper angrily, and threw it behind him. It was starting to bug him anyway; he never was good at poems. How could he be so stupid though? Letting himself fall in love like that, no mind it was when he was 11.
This stupid paper thing didn't work; it only made him feel worse. Kevin was Kevin though, and he wouldn't let himself break down.
He thought he had let Ben go, rejected him himself. So why is it that it hurt so damn bad that Julie had said she loved Ben? Why did it hurt so bad that Ben said he loved her back? Why did it hurt so damn bad?
Kevin heard a knock next to him; it was Gwen. He waved 'hi' as he rolled down the window.
"What is it?" He asked. Gwen leaned in on the edge of his car. "Can I ask you something?" Kevin nodded. "Ben's Birthday is tomorrow and,"
"His birthday is tomorrow!!" Kevin interrupted. Nobody told him about that, not even Ben!
"Yes it's tomorrow, and I wanted to know if you could give me a ride to the store so I could buy him a present." She continued. "Okay I'll take you."
Gwen walked around the car taking a seat.
"So do you know what you're going to get him?" Gwen asked Kevin. "Considering I just found out about it, not really." He didn't really know, maybe he would get the other boy a card, throwing out the 'I'm poor' excuse. He also didn't feel all that keen to going to the party Julie would be at. It made him shudder just thinking about them making goo goo eyes at each other.
"Something's wrong." Gwen announced. Kevin looked over only for a moment, then asked, "what's wrong?" Gwen knew he knew, but she truly didn't think he would play dumb. "You know what's wrong, you just won't say." Kevin puffed, and slammed on the brakes. He wasn't in the mood to have Gwen pressing him like this.
"I'll tell you what's wrong, you're bothering me!" Gwen's face cringed in fear, automatically making Kevin feel bad. He sighed, and started to drive the car again. "I'm sorry."
They sat in silence for a moment, then Gwen spoke, "It's okay, I'm just worried about you…and Ben." Gwen swore she saw something in Kevin's eyes. Ben obviously was what was wrong. "Ya even though Ben is with Julie more often, he still seems sad. Do you know what it could be?" Kevin didn't say anything, he really didn't want to.
They pulled up in front of the store. Gwen got out, but pocked her head in the window. "If you do decide to tell me what's wrong, just know that I won't get mad with you." She walked away from Kevin's Camaro, smiling. She had a hunch on why they were acting this way, and really only those papers could confirm her theory.

Ben sat on his couch, with all of his friends around him. Julie was sitting right next to him clutching his arm, with Gwen was sitting next to her. The two were talking about some sort of new nail polish.
To be honest Ben was just waiting for Kevin to get here, he was bored. Of course he wouldn't exactly be the life of the party. For the past couple of days Kevin seemed a bit depressed, no a bit was wrong; very wrong. He didn't seem like Kevin anymore, he acted like a….normal person now. Sadly according to Julie Ben hasn't exactly been acting the same either.
"What do you think Ben?" Julie asked. Ben shook his head, he hadn't been paying attention. "Think about what?" Gwen rubbed her temple, as Julie continued. "What would look best on me, purple lip gloss or pink?"
"Uh, I think you look fine the way you are." Julie sighed, and crossed her arms. "You know I'm tired of you." Both Gwen and Ben let in a breath. "About what?" Ben complained.
"You never pay attention to me anymore. When we weren't going out you cared about me more than you do know, now that we are." She crossed her arms, and looked away from her boyfriend. Ben looked over at Gwen, who just shrugged. "I just complimented you didn't I?" Ben asked astonished by her statement. He had just complimented her, and she decides that he wasn't being a good boyfriend. Julie crossed her arms, and looked away from Ben angrily. It was like she wanted something to complain about, even if the excuse was lame.
Then like on queue the doorbell rang, wait…the doorbell rang? It couldn't have been Kevin; he would just break in like the ass he was. Ben's mom answered the door, letting the mystery quest in. "Tennyson!" Yelled the new entered comrade, his voice sounding quite excited. Ben looked over and lou it really was Kevin, but something seemed off about him.
His face seemed to light up with…was that joy? Kevin was never joyous, and he didn't have on his normal black T. He was wearing a SlipKnot shirt; it also looked like he was wearing an earring. Ben ran up to him yelling his name, and gave him a hug. They walked over to the couch, and Kevin saw the looks on the girls.
"What?" Hw asked sitting next to Julie, who nudged away from him. Ben sat next to Kevin when Gwen spoke up.
"What are you wearing?" Kevin raised his eyebrows, and looked down. "It's called pay. I had enough left over to buy actual clothing." Gwen shrugged; she didn't really care if he looked like a serial killer. (A/N: I LOVE SLIPKNOT! So I made Kevin wear the shirt I own. Most people say I look like I'm going to kill them when I wear it. Only people who don't listen to them though.) Julie sneered and stood up, pushing Kevin out of her way. She grabbed Ben by his collar, pulling him into the other room.
Julie slammed the door furiously. Then she turned around, and glared at her boyfriend. "I don't want him here." She demanded. Ben's mouth dropped in shock. "Who? Kevin!" Julie crossed her arms, and shrugged. "Who else but him!"
"But why!?" Ben became angry with her, she had been like this forever. Damn women and their high expectations. But Ben wasn't about to actually get Kevin to go away, because she disapproved.
"He scares me! It looks like he's one of those freaky people who are in cults, and cut their wrists!" Ben frowned rather violently at her. "That's so stereotypical, how could you say that!?" Ben raised his voice slightly. Kevin was his best friend, and he wasn't going to let his girlfriend stop that. "Well I can't help that I fear for my safety." Ben stomped up to her, and puffed out his chest.
"He's my friend, and I'm not going to ask him to leave." Ben stormed out of the room, but turned around. "Oh and if you talk about him like that again, consider us over." Don't think this wasn't hard on Ben, he loved Julie. He just cared about Kevin more; he thought that friendship was the strongest bond.
Ben walked into the living room again. Gwen was still sitting on the couch, but was wearing a huge grin on her face. Ben's eyes traveled over to Kevin, who also seemed quite happy. In his lap he held a acoustic guitar. Ben raised his eyes brows, as his mother squeed pushing her son up closer to the other boy. Kevin smiled wider, and positioned his hand. He began to strum slowly, the guitar spewing a catchy tune. Then Kevin began to sing,
You are 16 going on 17
Baby it's time to think
Better beware
Be canny and careful
Baby you're on the brink
You are 16 going on 17
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads
And roués and cads
Will offer you food and wine
Totally unprepared are you
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your ken
You need someone
Older and wiser
Telling you what to do
I am 17 going on 18
I'll take care of you!
The song ended, and everyone was silent. Ben wasn't stupid, he knew why they were silent. He didn't care though, all that mattered was that Kevin had cared about him enough to sing him a song. Even if he didn't write it, and even if he just did it to get away with spending money. The point was Kevin Levin did have a heart, and deep down Ben loved that heart.
Almost like an epiphany it hit him. Kevin did have a heart, and his heart could love. Ben had a heart too, and it already convinced itself that it loved. Ben loved his parents, his cousin, his "girlfriend", his dog, and his omnitrix. Kevin never loved anything, not even himself. So when Kevin really did fall in love it would hit him hard, and it would affect all of him. It would change him, lest that be good or bad. It finally all made sense, and Ben loved it.
He ran up to Kevin, and gave him a hard hug.
"Thank you." He whispered.
Kevin smiled, and rubbed the others back.
"No problem."
