"I'M A BIT ON THE GREENER SIDE OF THINGS"
"It looks like somebody just threw up on me." Kevin hissed as he stared wide eyed at himself in the mirror at 'Tuxedo Palace.' Ben, standing beside him was completely silent, also staring at Kevin's reflection in the mirror.
"It's not... That.. Bad." Ben finally drawled out, slowly cocking his head to the side.
Kevin stared on in disbelief. How on God's green earth could this, of all things, have happened?
"I'm flippin' green, Ben!" Kevin growled, as he turned away from the mirror in a heated fashion. It was obvious that the man's whole tuxedo he had ordered, two months in advanced by the way, had been exactly what he asked for...
The color of his car...
"Gwen's so gonna kill me." Kevin heavily breathed, letting the back his head bang against the reflective glass.
"No, she won't. Ben stated matter of factly. "Because were going to fix this."
"How?" Kevin almost pleaded. "The wedding is in a couple of weeks! There's no way that I could even attempt to order a new-"
"Problem, Gentlemen?" Joshua interrupted, plastering his signature grin upon his face. Seeing the boys so upset though, brought the excentric employee back down to a more solem level.
"Oh dear." He breathed, bringing up his whispy hand, sprawling his slim fingers over his chest. "Is something wrong? I mean, no offence my dear boys, but... It looks as though somebody had just died!" He gasps, slightly over dramatizing his actions. "Mm-mm-mm. And here I thought I was helping you plan a wedding. Not a funeral."
Ben, realizing that his friend was just about ready to pounce on to poor Joshua, pushed passed Kevin, and stepped in. Knowing that it was for the best on both parties involved. Plus, he was the best man. Naturally, it was his job to take care of such things.
"Um..." Ben started, as he cleared his throat for good measure. "Ya see, Kevin didn't exactly want a.. um.. Green suit."
"But." Joshua began to stutter. "But, I.. I thought he wanted the color of his ca-"
"I did you moron!" Kevin growled, chiming in. Evidently pushing Ben right back out of his way, resulting in Joshua jumping about a foot or two in surprise on the man's sudden movements towards him. "But as!" Kevin started, and he abruptly stopped full swing. The man had ultimately lost his train of thought, and his angered features quickly melted off his hardend face. "Whats the word I'm lookin' for." Not recieving any answer fast enough, he turned to Ben, slightly annoyed, shoving him. "Help me out why don't ya?"
"I would if you'd give me hint as to what word your looking for, Kevin!" Ben huffed under his breath, as he folded his arms across his chest.
"Ok.." The older boy rolls his eyes, and tries to explain. "Let's say I had a black suit, like I orgionally wanted." He glares back at the overly femine helper, and continues. "And I wanted a small amount of color to go along with it. What word would I be lookin' for?"
"A palate?" The hero quickly suggested, not really seeing where Kevin was going with this.
"No. That's not it." The raven haired man said, knocking that idea out right away.
"Um... A scheme?" Ben continued, putting his hand up to his chin, in more of a deeper thought.
"Nope." Kevin heavily sighed, trying to figure out another way to explain himself to his friend once more. "What's it called when a guy has a differnt language than you, and speaks english, but it's not really our english, but a different type of english. One that's , ya know... Different, but the same, at the same time?"
Ben stood there, hand still to his chin. His eyes finding the floor quite intriguing as he thought this one out. "OH!" the hero snapped his fingers in accomplishment. "You mean 'accent'!
"Bingo!" Kevin smiled, relieved to finally have the answer he was looking for.
Joshua just stood there, totally dumbfounded. Twisting his face up in mere astonishment at how these two boys' of Gwen's could be so utterly disturbing, and spectacularly charming all at the same time. He lets his jaw drop as if he were about to say something, but acted as though he had changed his mind. Letting his jaw drop once more, he finally gets a few words out.
"You two?" He hesitantly flares a hand at them. "Are the most strangest people I have ever seen."
"Good to know." Kevin said pointedly. "Now. Before I pound your face into a pulp, how are we gonna fix my little leprechaun problem?"
"Leprechan problem?" Joshua repeated in a hissy tone. Not sure what his over aggressive customer was rambling on about.
"Yeah." Kevin agreed, motioning to his hiddious tux. "My suit? It's green?" He rolls his eyes once more. "I thought we already established this?"
"Oh, riiight." Joshua responded. "Well, we certainly don't have enough time to order you a new one so-"
"No duh." Kevin interrupted him this time. "So? What are we gonna do about this then? I can't marry the girl of my dreams lookin' like somethin' Ben just threw up, now can I?"
"Hey!" Ben shouted in defence, placing a hand upon his hip. "How did I get envolved in this?"
Ignoring Ben's slight retaliation, Kevin presses on.
"So?"
"Well." Joshua pauses in thought for a moment. "I do have a thrilling piece of work in the back." He smiles, clasping his hands together in joy. "I might even have your size too!" He gets even more excited at the thought, and begins to clap his hands as he started to slightly jump up and down. "Oh, won't you look dashing once we get you into this sweet little number! Be right back!"
Joshua scurries off into the back. Leaving Kevin and Ben alone once more. Not sure of himself if that was such a good idea or not. Kevin was still pretty heated that his suit looked like one over sized booger. Really, not quite the right attire for a wedding, and Joshua did not like to disappoint. So he went into the back anyway. He just had to make his most challenging customer he's had so far in his career, happy. He just had too.
Kevin sat in one of the chairs, while he waited, letting out a deep huff as he fell into the lush fabric. Staring out the window for something to just shed his heated glare upon. Without having a true outlet of some kind, he figured this was better than nothing.
"Kevin." Ben broke the serene silence.
"What." Kevin responded shortly. Shifting his wieght into the chair.
"You really don't look that bad." Ben smiles. " I mean, the Jolly Green Giant would LOVE you in that suit! Just think of how many green beans and peas you could be selling in that thing!"
Kevin stood up from his chair, in the ready to put the boy into one serious head lock. "Shut up." He said in warning.
"Relax, Kevin." Ben put his hands up. "I was only kidding. Man. You seriously need a life time supply of chill pills." The hero finally gave in at trying to cheer his friend up, and found a sensible chair for his own butt to sit in. "Just lighten up." He quickly finishes, as he sat down.
"I'm tryin'." Kevin growled out, slowly sitting himself back down. "But everytime my life starts goin' good with things again, somethin' like this always happens." He heavily sighs. "I always eventually screw up at everything. Christ, I even messed up on somethin so freaken simple as ordering a tux!" He hissed, bringing his fist down onto the plushed arm chair. "How the heck does that even happen?"
"Not your fault." Ben smiles shrugging his shoulders.
"Then who's is it, if it's not mine?" Kevin butted in, hoping his best man was right.
Ben continues. "We told Joshua what we wanted. He just didn't ask us exactly what we wanted, or how we wanted it." He points a finger at Kevin, raising a brow in amusement. "He just assumed."
Kevin's eyes sparkled with much delight at the thought. "Your right, Ben... For once in your miserable life, your absolutely right." He grins back at the boy, leaning back in his chair, showing that he was finally realaxed. "For once, I won't have to flatten your face in for havin' a stupid idea!"
"Gee, thanks?" The brunette hero said in uncertainty. "So, does that mean Joshua's face gets pounded beyond recongintion instead?" Honestly though, Ben really didn't really want to see Joshua get beaten to a pulp. But having Kevin yell, and scream out his aggressions at someone else for a change would have gave him the serious break from it that he personally needed.
"Nah. It'd piss, Gwen off." Kevin simply said, bringing a hand to his jaw for support. "We don't want that now, do we, Tennyson?" He smiles knowingly. "A happy Gwen, means a happier me."
"Good point." Ben agreed, grinning at the memories of his cousin. "If Gwen's miserable. We all are."
"Oh boooys!" Joshua sing songed as he came out from the back of the store. "I have it! It's simply perfect in everyway!" He walked over to where the groom was sitting, and handed Kevin the tux. "Plain, simple, and all over elegant at the same time!" He gasps putting his whispy hand up along his buttoned vest, and quickly handed Kevin a beautiful green vest and tie combo. It even matched the man's car. Kevin's eyes widen. " I know quite the 'accent' color now isn't it?" Joshua smiled, holding up one of his hands. "I scare even myself sometimes."
Kevin and Ben looked over the tux, it was simple. Just a nice, plain, sleek, black tux. Nothing fancy, nothing special. But at the same time, held a quality of flair to it, that made it elegant, just as Joshua had said seconds ago. It was absolutely,
"Perfect." Kevin belowed out in approval.
"Oh, I'm so happy you like it!" Joshua proclaimed as he went to hug his unique costumer out of excitement. Not at all thinking of what he was about to do.
Kevin stopped him dead in his tracks. "Don't even." He said, in a harsh dark tone.
"My bad." Joshua dead pans. Putting his arms down sadly. "Totally forgot. My apologies."
"No worries, man. You literally saved my butt." Kevin shrugs in a non caring manner. "The least I could do, was to spare your face."
Joshua swiftly took a step back in fear. "Ummm. Thank you. I... I guess?"
"No problem." Kevin smiles wickedly.
TUX, TUX, TUX, TUX, TUX..
Kevin unlocked the door to Gwen's apartment. It was supposed to be their day to be alone together. After yesterdays little mishap with the tux, and the man basically spending most his time with the two most absolute fruit cakes known to man, he was actually quite thrilled that he would be spending his most valuable time with someone sane. Needless to say, it was a nice change of pace.
Sitting down on the couch in the living room, Kevin picks up the remote, signaling the T.V to turn on, as he then proceeded to do a little channel surfing, while waiting for Gwen to get out of her hair appointment. The girl grumbled for days on end, that her hair needed some serious triming, and maintanance. 'Wow' Kevin thought. 'I'm surpised I even remembered that.'
As Kevin was mentally high fiving himself for remembering such a pointless thought about Gwen, the girl bursts through the door.
"Kevin!" She squealed. "Check it out."
Kevin lifted his eyes off the screen, and what he saw, wanted to make the eyes in his head, almost fall out onto the floor. "What, did you do to your hair?" He snarled, almost a bit too harshly.
"You like it?" Gwen giggled, ignoring his tone, while continuing to smile.
"Your hair..." Kevin frowned, stumbling over his own words, and getting up off the couch, running his fingers swiftly through her now, shorter, red main. "It's... It's... GONE."
"Yeees." She eyed him carefully, choosing her words wisely, trying to avoid another fight. "I asked you if you liked it Kevin." Gwen sneered slightly, furrowing her brow. Then, realizing that Kevin was sporting quite the hurtful glare, she lightens her tone, brushing her hands through her shoulder lenght hair. "I know it's a bit shorter than it used to be, Kevin. But I thought it'd be easier to style for the wedding and-"
Kevin, with out warning, kissed her. Stopping her rambling almost immediately. Gwen naturally took hold, and followed with the rhythem. Both, almost seeming to want to swallow the other's face whole. Stopping for air, Gwen finally caught her breath. "What was that for?"
Kevin smiled, and deeply kissed her once more. "You, Gwendolyn Tennyson..." He pauses for a moment. "Look so freaken gorgouse right now." He grinned down wickedly at her, those dark orbs of his, showing his true thoughts and intentions of what he wanted to do the red headed beauty before him.
"O-oh?" She dumbly responds. Her breath still gone from the previous kiss Kevin had abused her lips with.
"Yeah." He simply says, bringing his lips crashing down on her once more. "Totally hot."
"But, I thought." Gwen began stammering in a small rebutle.
"Never assume, anything with me Gwen." Kevin hissed into her ear, causing a shiver to crawl up her spine. "I know what I said. And? I know what I'm about to do."
With out saying another word. Kevin scoops Gwen up into his arms, making a mad dash towards her room. The red head squeals in surprise at Kevin's forwarding actions, letting out a small giggle of amusement, and in satisfaction of the boys spontanious actions.
"Slam!" (Bedroom Door)
Looks like it's going to be a hot time in the old town tonight folks... Meaning, ya know... Gwen's room, and Kevin being in there... with the... heat... and... the passion type stuff...
