Kevin Pov: It was 10 in the morning and I just woke up yet around 3 I felt something land on my chest I didn't wake up back then to check it out but now that I'm awake I look down and notice its Ben so I just lay back and wrap my arms around him. 'He seems so different when he dreams I thought to myself' as quiet as a shadow and as still as a tree are all of his dreams about me I said out in the open not realizing that I was thinking out loud. Suddenly he lifts his head up and sits up then opens his eyes. "Morning Ben did you sleep well I asked?
"Hi Kev and I slept decent how about you Ben replied with a small yawn.
"I slept soundly I answered as I placed a gentle kiss to his cheek.
"That's good so what should we do today Ben asked as he rubbed his eyes?
"Seth messaged me saying the eagles didn't get to see you on your birthday and they have something for you I replied.
"Yeah I guess we can head to Everwood but when did he send the text Ben stated.
"He sent it at 8:30 so how about we shower get changed and checkout then we can head over I smiled.
"Sure sounds like a plan and unfortunately for you the showers can only fit one of us at a time Ben replied.
"Oh well I guess I'll head in first just don't miss me too much I answered as I let go of him and slid off the bed.
=1 hour later at the Everwood dorms=
Benji and I were at Seth's dorm room and Seth had just given Ben a 45$ gift card to Ben's favorite chocolate store. Then Ben asked Seth if he could take away Ben's eagle half.
"Ben I'm sorry but did you say you wanted me to take away your magic half as in remove all the spells you have learned Seth said stunned.
"Yes I know what that means but now that Kevin and I are together I don't want to push him away anymore because if I do I fear he might break us up He answered.
"It's ok you don't to explain your reasons your our friend so of course I will do this for you but at least keep the portal spell in case you ever need us Seth replied.
Once the both of them finished Ben was back to his normal omnitrix lifestyle and yet he just smiled at me. I was so amazed that Ben felt the powers he has learned would cause tension so I decided to have the spells I learned removed minus the portal spell aswell. Then Seth finished giving Ben the gifts from the rest of the Eagles after that we walked back to the bike and headed home. As soon as we got home I pushed Ben up agesnt the wall.
"What the fuck Kevin why so forceful Ben spoke with fear in his eyes.
Why did you do what you just did I hissed.
"Because what I told Seth is the truth I love and trust you completely besides if I absorb myself into my aliens and my magic then our time together would be even more limited until one day you decide to break us. Go ahead and swing on me if you want I don't care if I get beat up I've more then earned it Ben sighed as he sealed his eyes.
"I would never hit you don't be that way I'm sorry if I seemed aggressive just now I replied hugging him.
"Why aren't you this forceful and aggressive when were in bed Ben grinned. On second thought never mind I'm going to our former high school Ben sighed.
"Why you heading to our high school I asked?
"Because the day we faced Malgrum a letter was sent to my house it was from the principal and my teachers to visit when I am able and to at some point to meet with each grade and give a small speech Ben answered running for his bike.
Ben's Pov: It was noon and I was out on the open road headed for Bellwood High I felt honored that my teachers and principal have asked me to personally speak to the students. Once I reached the school I parked in the visitor lot and headed for the front doors.
"Welcome to Bellwood High may I help you asked a familiar voice"
"Hello its Benjamin Tennyson I'm here by request of the principal and my former teachers I smiled at the camera.
"Oh Ben of course come in everyone will be ecstatic to hear that you are here replied the voice as the doors opened."
Once through the doors I stopped dead infront of the main office. It wasn't long till the principal was standing in the doorway.
"Ben it's good to see you and I'm glad you have accepted to our message spoke Principal McCann with a friendly handshake.
I'm honored sir really I am and coming hear to visit brings back some mixed memories it just feels like I never truly left I smiled. Shall we assemble the students into the auditorium I asked?
Quite right you head over there and I will gather the grades Principal McCann replied before walking back into his office.
Once the principal was back in his office I walked to the auditorium and sat on the center of stage. I knew it was an honor to meet with the students but I felt that without this school I wouldn't have broken out of my nervous shell around Kevin so I felt he and Gwen should be here with me. After the announcement the principal walked in and notice that I was thinking about something.
You're not having second thoughts are you Ben asked the principal?
No sir I'm just thinking that it wouldn't be the same without my cousin and Kevin was my reply.
I understand go ahead and call them the bell to end 3rd period hasn't gone off yet smiled the principal.
Once done with opening myself to the principal I went behind the stage and dialed both Gwen and Kevin into a private secure 3way call.
"Hi Ben you look better then when we last talked and yet you seem troubled Gwen spoke up."
"Hi Sweetie why the sudden call is it an alien Kevin asked?"
"Gwen, Kevvy I'm at the school because of that letter but I don't feel like I want to go out and talk to all the grades all on my own I answered."
"Ok I will go to Kevin's and mana portal us over there Gwen smiled as she logged out.
"See you soon Benji besides you will be great Kevin smiled as he signed off.
I know I can go out there but I just feel like it be better if the ones I care about were here I said to myself to try and calm myself. As soon as the chat was over the bell rang I was still a little tense but I knew I had to get ready for my big debut. I stood in the left wing of the stage soon enough Gwen and Kevin were here by my side and then all the grades were filed into their own sectors of the auditorium and the principal walked up to the podium on the stage.
"Good afternoon students sorry to interrupt your studies midway in the day but I have asked a graduate of the 2013 class to come and speak to you. He is here by my personal request and his kind nature so please be respectful when he speaks and now without further ado I welcome to the stage Ben Tennyson the principal addressed the grades.
I relaxed myself and put a small smile on my face as I walked out suddenly I hear a roar of applause and cheering coming from all the classes as I approach the podium. Once the spotlight was on me I quickly threw my hands up and lowered them down slow just the principal used to do so the students all sat quiet and eager to hear what I had to say.
"Hello everyone my name is Benjamin Kirby Tennyson and I have come to speak to you I spoke up. Now I want to first say that Bellwood High isn't a teen prison rather it is a place to help achieve your dreams I said calmly. Now high school was tricky to manage not just for me but also for my cousin Gwen and my friend Kevin. As I addressed them they walked out Gwen stood by my right and Kevin stood on my left. The reason high school was tricky for us to manage was because we are galactic plumber heroes I spoke with positive energy. But this just proves that family and friends will always have your back and the principal and your teachers aren't hear just to be your officers in education but they are also your friends when you need to open to them because they want nothing more than to see you smile when you graduate please remember that I smiled."
"Now do any of the students have any questions for me I asked?
I do said a junior girl.
Please call me Ben I don't like using titles especially not in a place that brings memories. So what's your name and your question I replied?
My name is Anna and I know you are the Bellwood hero trio and you are all prize graduates of Bellwood High but did you ever have time for personal interests said the girl.
Depends on what you mean by interests Anna if its school activities I did soccer and football because of my fast footwork I answered.
No I don't mean sports and school extras but did you ever fall for anyone Anna asked explaining her question better.
Oh yes I had a crush on someone in the school but I never told him face to face I only wrote my feelings about him in my diary but after he saw what I wrote he let me know that he felt the same for me I replied.
"Oh your gay well that's a bit of a surprise to me but I can respect your life choice but do you mind telling us who this guy is Anna said intrigued.
"You're looking right at him I blushed.
"So you're telling me you're dating Kevin your fellow graduate and your fellow plumber Anna asked?
"Yes that is correct and I have never felt happier I replied. Anybody else have any questions I asked?
"I do spoke a boy my name is Julian and I was wondering Ben seeing as you were a popular person for people to talk about I was wondering if you have any advice and pointers at how to become part of the social in crowd.
"Well I was the one to find my school talents and from that my team mates would tell their friends about me and when those people approached me I helped fill in the blanks about me. So find what school activities seem to fall in synch with your natural personality and you will be popular enough in no time I answered calmly.
"Now I am sure you all have questions for my cousin but we feel like he should just answer more next time he comes to visit Gwen spoke up.
"Of course Gwendolyn we understand and we are glad the trio could come and visit the school please come back when you have the time to spare replied the principal.
"Fallow your heart when you feel doubted in yourself your heart will help you make your wishes come true it worked for me and Ben and it can for all of you aswell Kevin said to the crowd to end our visit.
I promise I will do autographs on the next visit I smiled as I waved goodbye while I ran out to the hall through the wings.
You were tremendous out there Ben and I really mean that I could see how you used your past as perspective and inspired the students Gwen stated as she and Kevin walked out onto the grounds with me.
I'll be honest I was surprised by Anna's question but I am glad I helped encourage them. I knew I could face them but I just felt better having you guys by my side just in case something happened I smiled.
What surprises me is how your stomach didn't growl once during the speech Gwen said puzzled.
I ate a lot back in school only because I had long practices I hardly eat much nowadays I rolled my eyes.
I hope you are at least eating enough Gwen said placing her hand on my shoulder blade.
I am and I guess my sweet tooth has died on itself because I hardly ever get my normal chocolate cravings anymore I answered as I slid on my helmet.
Your right Benji you usually can eat 3 king size crunch bars all on your own but now you don't seem to be your old self Kevin said surprised.
I know maybe it was because of an emotion flop so I guess I will see you later at home I thought I would hit the supermarket after I was done here I smiled as I started my bike.
Why do I have to stay home and just wait around for you cant i come with you Kevin asked bitterly?
I'm not going to explain my reasons but fine get on I replied before zipping off.
