Kevin's Pov: I was sitting on the bed stunned by what Ben just said * Once I dry off and change I'm hitting the bar downstairs* I know he is old enough now by plumbers standards but why would he want to go there I don't want him to get addicted to getting drunk like I used to be. After half an hour he comes walking out in his pajamas I decide to try and talk some sense into him. Ben why exactly are you heading down to the bar I asked plainly.

I knew you were going to try and talk me out of it I not going to get hooked on getting drunk five times a week like you used to be I just want to try it one night and that's all Ben replied with not a care in the world.

So you pick your birthday as the day you get yourself wasted I growled.

Yeah so what's the big dam deal I have dealt with greater risks then the risk of getting slammed. It's my birthday let me do what I want and let me cut loose from the safe side of life Ben grunted walking out the door.

Ben's Pov: I was walking down the hall to the elevator because I wanted to finally learn what it felt like to have alcohol in my system. Kevin was arrogant enough to question me on my birthday. As soon as I was in the elevator I shut the doors behind me and went down 3 floors to the bar. I sat in the dead center with hardly anyone there. Once the bartender asked for my identification I had the omnitrix pull up my identification information including date of birth, current age, and even showed that I was with galactic plumbers.

So what would you like seeing as you just turned the correct age by plumber standards might I suggest something light asked the bartender?

What mix contains enough alcohol to give a first timer a fully slammed drunk feeling I asked?

Oh I see the umbra blackout that's our strongest mix answered the bartender.

I'll take 4 I replied.

Of course I'll get to working on those right away the bartender smiled.

While I waited for my drinks something latched onto my shoulder.

You ok angle lips asked the voice?

I'm fine Kevin I haven't had anything in my system just yet I answered removing his hand from my shoulder.

Ok well I guess a one time trial run isn't anything to get mad at you about Kevin smiled.

Right it just this one time now is there any other reason you came down after me I sighed.

Well someone has to manage to get your drunk ass back upstairs Kevin answered wrapping his hands around my neck.

The scent of motor oil would have led me back to our room but I glad you came down go ahead and grab a drink if you want I smiled.

Here are your 4 umbra blackouts the bartender spoke up.

Great thanks I replied sliding him my card.

So Benji what exactly is an umbra blackout Kevin asked?

All I know is that it is there strongest mix drink I answered before I down the first glass. After drinking the rest I could hardly see normal anymore I look over to Kev and he looks over with a concerned face.

You feeling ok babe Kev asked?

Fine be I just fuck life what's point saving screw and world friends I rambled.

That does it you managed to get completely wasted lets go I am bringing you back to our room Kevin said flinging me over his shoulder.

I can walk my own fucking ass back you big lug let go me I growled.

No you wanted to get your ass drunk and you did so now I'm taking you back and you're going to like it Kevin replied.

Kevin's Pov:

I had Benji over my shoulder and he was completely drunk once I got us into our hotel room I read the clock 11 at night "would any be up at this hour" suddenly I hear his mobile.

Hello Ben asked as he hit answer?

"Hi birthday boy how is my cousin on his special night asked the familiar voice?

Birthday? Cousin? Who the fuck are you and what bullshit are you talking Ben spazzed.

"Ben its Gwen what's wrong you seem so out of it tonight Gwen asked nervously?

Gwen its Kev I want you to think carefully about how old Ben just turned I answered yanking the phone out of Ben's hand.

"Ben just turned 18 so that means…OH MY GOD did he get himself slammed Gwen shrieked.

Fuck yeah I did and I like it Ben smiled.

"Kevin fix this or next time I see you I will beat your ass up ANODITE style Gwen hollered.

Listen to me you shrew you may be my family but nobody I repeat NOBODY not even my family fuckin makes threats to my boyfriend. If you think different then you're a motherfuckin traitor and if that becomes the case I will personally hunt you down and teach you what for now FUCK OFF Ben shouted into the phone and then turned it off.

I was surprised that he remembers that we are together and I never thought that he would go ape shit on his flesh and blood I was happy that he remembered what I mean to him but I feel bad for Gwen hopefully she is ok and can realize he is just drunk.

You can let go of me now you brute Ben sighed.

Why would I let go of you especially after hearing your reaction to your own flesh and blood I smiled.

I might be drunk and my fuse may be shorter now then before but I could never forget you Kev you mean too much to me Ben replied. If you're going to carry me can you at least not carry me like I'm a sack of potatoes asked Ben?

Oh sure sorry is this any better I replied as I held him in my arms.

Yes now I can see the face of my boyfriend Ben said laying his head on my shoulder.

Are we ever going to stop all this cuddle time and are we ever going to get dirty I sighed. Then I see Ben grab his head and turn away from me. I knew that nobody could sober up that quick without side effects I smirked.

Let's just get some sleep its midnight after all was Ben's answer as he tried to slide out of my arms.

Ok but I'm putting you into bed you don't seem stable enough to walk I replied.

I know I thought I would just swing my legs free is all I was trying to do why would I ever try to purposely slide out of your big strong muscular arms Ben smiled.

I carefully laid Benji down then I got in beside him and pulled the covers up till our faces were the only thing exposed. But then he pulled them down so our chests were also exposed and then he fell right to sleep I didn't question him and soon enough I was knocked out aswell.

Ben's Pov: I was dead asleep trying to recover from my crazy birthday night I only caught 3 hours sleep before quietly sliding myself out of bed I open the glass door to the balcony of my hotel room and shut it behind me as quiet as possible. I felt that breathing in the chill of night would help clear my head of so many things. *Would I ever be able to let do what he wants with me? Am I ever going to stop diving into danger? Should I give up on my Everwood magic? Is Gwen really ok with how I treated her?* I just stood there in my pajama bottoms staring at the moon for a little longer then headed back in and instead of laying my head on my pillow I layed my head on Kevin's chest and slid my pillow under his then pulled the blanket up and fell back to sleep.
