Kevin pulled up in the Tennyson's driveway.
" Ok Benji time to let the truth shine." Kevin got out of the car and started making his way to the door.
~ Ding dong~
…
~Ding dong~ Ding dong~
….. nothing….
Kevin started getting impatient.
~Ding dong~ ding dong ~ding dong~ ding dong~ ding do-
"I swear Manny if you break my door bell again I'll—Oh it's just you." Said Ben.
He (Ben) looked like hell. Hair all messed up; eyes all puffy like he was crying all night and his clothes mess up and all wrinkly.
"Wow dude you look like shit." Said Kevin
" Jeez thanks." Said Ben as he went to close the door in the other face, but Kevin stopped it.
"What the hurry Tennyson? You really think I'd drive all the way over here just to make fun of you?" said Kevin still trying to get the door fully open.
"Yes now go away!"
"Not before I get some answers Ben."
Ben gave up pushing the door and let Kevin in. Kevin was in shocked as he saw the house. The once tidy and clean house was now full of garbage, clothes everywhere (clean and dirty), pizza box, smoothies and all those things were only in the living room he didn't want to think how the others rooms looked like.
"So I'm guessing your parents are not here, huh?" Kevin said as he moved some pizza boxes off the couch to sit. Damn I thought my house was messy, I think one of his sock just moved, eww.
"They went to help some animals or forest, I don't know, all I know is that you didn't come here to ask that." Said Ben,
"You're right Ben I didn't come to ask that, I came to ask about this." Said Kevin as he pulled out his badge and tossed it to Ben. Ben raised an eyebrow.
"Ok. Kevin this is a badge, you got it because you are a member of the plumbers, a top secret organization that specializes in alien activity." said Ben in a mocking tone.
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Is that a trick question?" Ben got up and started heading for the kitchen.
"Don't answer a question with an other question! You know the wires were cut in mine and Gwen badge."
Kevin raced into the kitchen only to find Ben trying to open and bucket of ice-cream and failng.
"Hey I need a little help here" said Ben.
"Ben what's up with you lately?" said Kevin.
Sure Ben might been a little goody two shoes and might never grow backbone cause he whines like a little girl all the time, but still Kevin had a cretain friendship with the brunette hero, it might not be the best kind of friendship but he stilled cared …a little bit….ok maybe a lot.
"Look Kevin nothing is up or down. Everything is ok." Ben said still trying to open the bucket of ice-cream. Kevin just stay there he knew something was wrong with Ben. He knew the younger teen practically inhaled his food but not like this.
"You know what I'm going to get a knife since a certain osmosian is too busy spacing out help me." Said Ben. Just as Kevin was about to talk he spotted something on Ben left wrist, a thick red line.
"Ben, what the hell is that ?" said Kevin as he pointed to Ben's wrist. Ben quickly pulled his sleeve down.
"Nothing."
"Don't lie to me Ben now show me your wrist." Said Kevin as he grabbed Ben's arm.
" Let go of me!". Ben screamed as he tried to get the older grip off him. Kevin grabbed him by the waist and body slam the Ben on to the cold kitchen floor. Ben whimper his head ached from the rough fall and Kevin's strong grip on his arm wasn't helping him ease the pain.
"Kevin let go! You're hurting me." Said Ben. Please stop before I look even more pathetic.
"Not before you show me your wrist." Ben kicked Kevin in the stomach making the older on release the hold on his wrist. Ben ran to the living room.
"Ben come back here!." But Ben was already going up the stairs to go to his room. Kevin quickly ran over to the younger teen and grabbed his foot causing him and Ben to fall down the stairs. He finally got Ben sleeve up only to see red angry cuts all over his arm. The cuts were all over the younger boy's arm some looked healed others looked like he had made them few hours ago and some were even still bleeding (probably had open up from his and Ben's fight).
"Ben what the hell happened?" Kevin confused.
"I got them in a fight now get off me." Said Ben.
But Kevin refused to let of him; his face was getting red from anger.
"Damn it Ben stop lying!" screamed Kevin.
"I'm not lying!"
"Yes you are and not only about the scars about everything! About the badge, you going on Pierce's team, about you suddenly going all emo and about not contacting me and Gwen when the attacks happened!" Ben just bit his lip.
"Are you sure what you what to know?" asked Ben. Because you are not going to like the truth.
"Yes I do and no lies." Said Kevin.
"Fine, I was the one who cut the wire in the badges." Sad Ben.
"Obviously, Manny is too stupid , Helen as no motive and I wasn't going to believe Pierce lame excuse. But did you cut two wires in Gwen's badge?" asked Kevin.
"I read the blueprints wrong." Said Ben his eyes focused in the floor.
"How did you get the blueprints in the first place?" asked Kevin.
"I stole them." Said Ben he eyes still locked to the floor, refusing to meet the eyes of the other hero.
Kevin's eyes widen, Ben and stealing? Now he was serious worried but then again…. Kevin grabbed Ben chin and titled his head up to stare in his eyes.
" Kevin…" Ben's face tinted in a healthy pink blush. Is the universe playing a trick on me…?
"Your eyebrow didn't twitch, so I guess its truth. I never thought you had it in you." said Kevin as he let go of Ben's chin. Ben was still in dream land but as always his dream came crashing down and reality started to set in again.
"Either did I." said Ben trying to get his face to go back to it normal color.
"So here is what I don't get. You stole the blue prints to the badge, you cut the wires on both Gwen's and mines badges, right." Said Kevin.
Ben nodded.
"Well I have to say Benji I'm impressed. But why?" asked Kevin. For Benjamin Kirby Tennyson to steal something mean that he had a good reason.
"Uh well you see—" Ben rubbed his neck and looked down at the floor trying to avoid eye contact with the older teen.
"C'mon dude I ain't got all day I have to call Gwen in 10 minutes." Said Kevin. Ben sighed. It's now or never. "I did it cause I didn't what to see you guys." Said Ben.
Kevin was shocked he knew Ben had been distended lately but he didn't knew that he and Gwen were the cause of it.
Ben's face was beet red and small pools of tears started to gather up in the corner of his eyes.
"Why didn't you want to see us?' asked Kevin.
"Well you see the thing is –"
" Wait I know the reason." Said Kevin a small smirk gracing his face.
"You do? Because I'm not so sure you do." There was no way the Kevin could have the same feelings as him.
" Of course I know, I mean this is a typical Ben Tennyson move. " said Kevin.
" ….Say what?" asked Ben.
"You are jealous because I'm dating Gwen and that mean's that all the attention, the news reporters, the paparazzi and the fame." Said Kevin.
What? No that's not it!" said Ben.
"Of course it is . I mean that the only logical explanation. Serious are you that desperate for fame that you steal and leave your own team? That's so sad." Ben was shocked he can't believe that Kevin really thought that about him.
" I couldn't care less about fame!" said Ben rage building up inside of him.
" Of course you do. That the only thing you have cared about since people found out about the omitrix, You are a total attention whore." Said Kevin. Ben was pissed; he couldn't believe he was hearing this.
" I'm not!" said Ben.
" Of course you are, all your life you have been one that's probably why you even started this "hero" thing in the first place."
"I became a hero because I wanted to save people lives not for the fame and you know that." Ben was trying to hold himself back form going all big chill on Kevin ass, his very nice ass.
"All I know is that you will do anything to have the T.V camera's on you." Said Kevin.
"Ah ,Forget it ! You're suck a jerk,I can't believe I fell in love—".Ben stopped mid-sentence when he realizes that he had dug his own grave. Please tell me that he did hear that, please tell me that he didn't hear that,please,please…..
"What did you say?" asked Kevin.
"Nothing." Said Ben. Kevin stared at the younger hero's face.
"Ben you eye is twitching again. Tell me the truth or you are going to be in a world of pain."
"Fine you really want to know? I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU! There happy?" said Ben.
A/N" I'm so sorry about the late update but I was on vacation and everything was total chaos! I'm sorry if this chapter is a little sucky . PLZ R&R and please…be nice. Sorry for the mistakes.
