Haruko: HEY, I'M NOT FINISH RANTING!
Updated: 4/24/15
School was finished; Ben, who is surely feeling that his mother was hoping for him to be home as soon as possible, is already outside the high school building. His school bag at his right shoulder, hanging rather loosely.
He stopped dead in his tracks when he heard someone called out to him. "Hey Ben!" Called out a certain white haired male.
"Oh, hi Albedo, what's up?" Greeted the brunette.
"Nothing, are your friend and cousin going to take you home?" Albedo asked.
"No, why?"
"I was just wondering, want to walk home together?" Albedo asked
Ben smiled. "Yeah sure, I don't mind." He said, while walking side by side with the taller male.
"Why aren't your friend and cousin taking you home? Levin does have a car, right?" Albedo asked.
"Well yeah, he's just in detention right now."
"What about Gwendolyn?"
"She already left; her mother's orders."
"I see, did your mom order you to go home too?" Albedo asked.
"No, though I can tell she wants me to. Right now, I just feel like going home to play video games, but first, I'll go to Mr. Smoothie." Ben said.
"Hmm... I'll guess I'm going to go and buy some chili fries." Albedo said.
"Really? Sweet, I love chili fries too." Ben said, smiling at the older.
"Huh, mutual understandings." Albedo chuckled, while Ben also laughed along.
As soon as both males got to Mr. Smoothie, they bought what they wanted: two smoothies and two plastic trays filled with chili fries. While they're eating, they had a small conversation about their lives, video games and if they have accounts on various games in the internet. Both men soon enough, were finished with their food and then went back on the street.
"So, Ben where's your home?" Albedo asked.
"It's just right there." Ben pointed on a normal size house. "You want to come in?" The brunette asked.
"Sure, my home is just there." Albedo pointed on another house, normal like Ben's but it's just at the left side of the Tennyson's house.
"Awesome, so we're like neighbors now?" Ben smiled.
The albino chuckled. "Yeah, I can even see your room from my room."
The younger male's face flushed light pink before snapping out. "You better not be spying on me!" He said, before opening the door, expecting to see her mother, who was already at the front door.
"Welcome back Ben, who's your friend?" She asked, looking at the almost identical twin of her son.
"Mom, this is Albedo Galvan, the one who lived next door from our house. He's also my classmate in almost all of my classes." Ben said.
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Tennyson." The teenager greeted, in a pleasant manner.
The brunette, who was shocked by the male's sudden gentleness, smiled.
"My, you've got a fine friend, Ben and please Albedo, call me Aunty, so you don't have to be so formal." The brunette's mother said.
"Alright." Albedo said.
"We're going to play video games at my room, is that okay, mom?" Ben asked.
"Sure Ben, just don't take our guest too long on playing." She said, while walking off.
Albedo and Ben went upstairs to the brunette's room, opening the door and letting the albino inside. "Well this is my room." Ben said, placing down his bag at the floor carelessly and flopping down on his soft bed. "So, what video games you wanna play? World War II? 007? Diablo III? Starhawk? (1) Look at the bookcase, I have plenty more." Ben said, pointing at the video game-filled bookcase.
The albino just smirked. He went to the brunette and pinned him down with his strong arms. "How about we play my kind of game?" He asked seductively.
Ben blinked. "What kind of game?"
"It involves us naked." Albedo chuckled as Ben yelped.
"W-What-?" Ben's face was tinted red before it gets even redder when he already knows what being 'naked' with someone else means.
Albedo smirked and kissed Ben's forehead, cheeks then down to his neck, playing with the collar of the boy's shirt. His free hand slightly pressed against the younger's manhood, earning an erotic moan from the other. His smirk turned into a wide grin when he bit on the same spot where he left a hickey on Ben, earning another erotic moan.
Ben was busy being confused; true, he liked Albedo, but the male seemed to like him more than a friend. Now his virginity will be taken away! By a guy who he just met over a month ago nonetheless! He swallowed the lump on his throat before feeling the eternal heat wrap around him and the older.
"Ah... Ah..." Ben moaned, as Albedo used his awesome unbuttoning skills to the brunette's pants and belt, revealing him with only boxers.
The brunette waited... Then waited... But nothing happened after.
"Huh?" Ben asked, as he looked at Albedo, who was smiling down at him.
"Oh Ben, you're too innocent for your own good." He said, as he re-buckled the younger's pants and belt. "Maybe we can do it another time."
Ben blushed and watched as the older leave him on the bed. "W-Wait, w-where are you going?"
"Going home; mom's probably going to babble to dad where I am." Albedo said, as he looked back at Ben, who was looking like a lost puppy. Damn, it took all my will power NOT to do him! Geez, stupid mom. "Don't worry; I'll go online on the MMORPG chats if you're missing me." He continued. "See 'ya at school." He said before he left.
Ben blinked before he made his way to the window outside. Seeing Albedo saying good bye to his mother before looking up at where the window to Ben's room is. He smiled and waved at him before walking to his own home. The brunette watched as the albino made his way to his own humble abode.
"Umm... I'll just go to bed..." Ben murmured, lying on his bed.
Ben woke up shortly after, looking at the clock as it says; 7:03 pm, he moaned slightly as he stretched his arms in awkward positions. "Dinner's at 7:30 pm... Maybe I should skip; I'm not really hungry right now..." He said as he made his way to the computer, pressing the on button then waiting for the computer to fully open.
The screen glowed as it slightly burned the brunette's eyes, something he's supposed to be used to after all of those times he played video games and go internet surfing. He moved the mouse and went to the internet. He typed his usual gaming site and went online. He searched for Albedo's user and found it available. Ben felt his heart beat fast before he noticed a chat box popped up.
bAd_BoYxxx: Hey, you finally decided to show up.
Ben10rulez: Sorry, did I take long?
bAd_BoYxxx: Wat'dya think? I've been waiting for like—4 hours already.
Ben twitched. Did he really sleep for that kind of long? He nervously types away on his computer before pressing the enter button.
Ben10rulez: Sorry, I was tired, really. I think P.E class knocked me out that bad.
bAd_BoYxxx: Huh, I guess with that kind of small body, you're not into too much exercising, huh?
Ben10rulez: Hey! I still play sports!
bAd_BoYxxx: Our topic is exercising, not sports. -_-
Ben10rulez: STILL! x(
bAd_BoYxxx: Haha, alright alright. Anyway, let's just play; I'll invite you into my party.
Ben10rulez: Ok. ._.
Ben inhaled good oxygen before grabbing the headphones and wearing it on his head; he got the request and accepted it.
Ben10rulez: Umm... Hi guys.
Kevz300: Hiya Ben, I didn't know you still play this game.
Ben10rulez: Wait a minute, Kevin? When did you got into Albedo's party?
bAd_BoYxxx: Last year, we used to go and beat up monsters back then, so I added him in.
Ben10rulez: That's long. ._.
Kevz300: Why Ben? Jealous? xD
Ben10rulez: What? NO!
CooperMan: I sense yaoi. ._.
Ben10rulez: What's yaoi?
He mentally racked his brain before he decided he shouldn't search in Google; he figured that it's probably something traumatizing.
Ben10rulez: And Cooper! Since when did you get into Albedo's party too!
bAd_BoYxxx: Ben, let's just say the people you know here are also my partners last year and we used to fight monsters blah blah blah.
Ben10rulez: Ok. ._.
Kevz300: Aww, it's alright, Benny. Don't feel left out that too much, we have another teammate and he's just added a week ago.
Ben10rulez: THAT'S EVEN WORST! AND I DON'T FEEL LEFT OUT!
Jimmy000: Can't we just play the game like normal people? -_-
bAd_BoYxxx: Good point Jimmy, let's play.
Ben10rulez: Ugh, I hate all of you.
"Ben?"
The said male turned his head and looked at his mother. "Yeah, mom?"
"Dinner's ready, do you want to eat?" She asked.
"No thanks, I'm not feeling hungry."
Sandra raised an eyebrow. "Well, okay if you say so." She said before leaving.
Ben sighed and just played with the others.
After a few hours of enjoyment, he stretched before he yawned tiredly. He looked at the clock and it says; 12:00 am. He widened his eyes. "That late already?" He complained.
Ben10rulez: Gtg, still have school tomorrow.
Jimmy000: Aww man! Do you have to? :( 5 more minutes, Ben! You're awesome on playing this game!
Ben10rulez: Haha, thanks for the praise, but I really have to go... Or else my mom's going to complain to me.
bAd_BoYxxx: Aww, too bad. Oh well, I'll see you at school then.
Ben10rulez: Yeah, see you later.
Kevz300: I'll pick you up at 7:00, ok?
Ben10rulez: That early? ._. Oh well, ok. See 'ya
The brunette logged off before shutting his computer down. He jumped to his bed and laid his head against the soft pillow.
Ben groggily opened his eyes as the radiant sunlight touched his sensitive eyes. He forced himself to stand up, before making his way to the bathroom to take a shower.
He was done after 30 minutes; he was then dressed to his usual black t-shirt, green jacket and blue pants. He wore his white socks and his usual sneakers.
The brunette grabbed his back and went down stairs, finding breakfast was made for him already.
"Good morning, Ben." Sandra greeted joyfully to her son.
"Morning, mom." Ben greeted, smiling at his mother's happy nature. "What's for breakfast?"
"Pancakes with maple syrup. Go ahead, dig in." Sandra said, smiling at her son.
Ben smiled and then started to eat away his breakfast, not leaving a single pancake on the plate. After he was done eating he went to the front door and opened it. "I'm going now." He said.
"Alright, be safe Ben!" Sandra said.
Ben smiled but didn't reply. He went outside and looked around for Kevin's car. But instead of finding Kevin's green car, he found Albedo already leaving his house.
"Albedo!" He called out.
The said male turned around and smirked on the brunette. "Good morning, sunshine." He greeted, before walking over to the younger male.
"Good morning!" Ben greeted back.
"You're happy today, what happened?" Albedo asked.
"Just had pancakes for breakfast, that's all." Ben smiled slyly.
"Huh, nice." Albedo said, before looking at a car, which was Kevin's car.
The window rolled down, revealing Gwen with an annoyed look on Albedo's direction. "Albedo, what are you doing at Ben's house?" She asked.
Albedo scoffed. "For your information, I live next door."
Gwen widened her eyes. "WHAT! Ben, what did he do to you? Are you okay? You're not raped, right?" She asked.
Ben blushed. "W-What! W-What are you saying?! I-I'm alright and I'm practically a virgin! And Albedo didn't do anything bad! Really!" He blurted out, face tomato red.
"Guys, just get in the car or we'll be caught up in traffic again." Kevin said.
"Who would build traffic on 7:00 am in the morning?" Albedo asked as he let Ben go in first before him.
They got to school shortly after, before Ben could leave the car, he already saw Albedo being crowded by his adoring fan girls. Sometimes he thinks the guy's definitely a chick magnet with or without his signature clothing. He felt a bit jealous.
Ben blinked before he was dragged away by his cousin, ranting about leaving the albino alone for his own good. He was stuck at his own thoughts.
Is he jealous? At who? Albedo? Maybe, because he's perfect. He's a top student, heartthrob of the school and a good friend. (A/N: *Chokes water*) But he's friends with him, so maybe he's not jealous. At those girls? What? Is he turning gay because of a guy who's just cooler?
Ben shook his head. Sure, those girls have amazing figures and they probably know more of Albedo more than he does, surely he's also straight... Maybe the older male just sees him as a little brother or something, since the brunette is a year younger than him.
Or not.
The brunette remembered last month's events, especially the first day. The albino was practically being slippy-wee-dee with his hands on his body before claiming he belongs to him. The thought made the male blush deeper. Was Albedo just playing with him or…
"Ben?"
The said male turned to his head to his cousin, who was looking at him worriedly. "Ben, are you alright? You've been spacing out..." Gwen asked. "Are you sick? We can go to the clinic."
"No, I'm alright Gwen, really." Ben said as he smiled reassuringly to the female.
"Aww, Benny's just upset because Albedo's not here right now." Kevin said, smirking. "Ow!" He cried as his rib has been abused by Gwen Tennyson; fear her.
"Do not EVER speak of that JERK and Ben in the same sentence for as long as you live!" Gwen said threatningly to Kevin, who sweat dropped at her dark and angered aura.
"Alright, alright! Geez..." Kevin said, as he rubbed his ribs soothingly. "Hey, where did Ben go?" He asked as he looked around for the young male.
Gwen looked around, finding Ben is nowhere to be seen again. "No! Albedo must have taken him hostage again!" She blurted out, before running to where she, Kevin, Ben and that wretched-good-for-nothing-asshole's first class is, Math.
"Hey, Gwen! Wait up!" Kevin shouted to the female, who didn't even spared a second on waiting for the male. "Wait, hostage? Who would take Ben hostage?" The male blurted, earning weird stares from his fellow schoolmates.
Ben sat alone in the classroom; school won't start for 5 minutes, so he guessed he has to wait. He breathed slightly before he rested his head on his desk.
What does he really want to feel towards Albedo? Or better yet, what does he really see in that guy? Does he see him as an awesome friend? A best friend or a brother? Or does he see him as his... Crush or something?
Ben blushed before he synced deeper into his arms. ... Don't tell me I'm turning gay for a guy I just met...
"Hey Ben."
Ben looked up, seeing crimson eyes look at him with worry. "You alright?" Albedo asked, stroking Ben's hair slightly.
"I'm fine." Ben said.
"Aren't you feeling a little lonely here?" Albedo asked.
"No. I've been alone before so I could do it again." Ben said rather coldly. Is he hearing himself, he sounds like a clingy girlfriend who was just ignored by her first boyfriend.
"Ouch, must be hard." Albedo said, looking a bit sorry to the younger. He took the liberty to still continue stroking the younger one's hair, something out of habit he came in terms with.
"It is." Ben said, feeling his heart beat faster at every stroke the older male did on his hair.
"I wanted to skip class today; do you want to come with me?" Albedo asked.
Ben looked at the older male and gave a surprised/questionable face. "We can't skip class, that's against school rules!" Since when did Ben turn responsible again?
"Don't worry, we can lie and say that we're sick. I can woo the nurse lady to give us an excuse slip or something." Albedo said. "We'll go back to the next class; I'm just not in the mood for Math today." He continued.
Ben furrowed his eyebrows together before nodding. "Well, I'm not in the mood for Math either, so I guess I'll go with you."
"Great, let's go now." Albedo said, before grabbing Ben's wrist and walking out of the classroom.
All Ben wanted was to spend time with Albedo... Well... Sort of...
Etsuko: ... Yeah, sorry we have to cut it here.
Erianna: CLIFFIES!
Kanji: Sorry for the long update... We we busy! Seriously!
Haruko: Well let's see if this excuse will work. Explanations:
