A/N: so high school is sucking. It's only sophomores and freshmen at my campus but I still hear people coughing "freshie" when I walk into study hall. So yay.

Now odds are good that I will only be able to update on weekends now since golf and homework have kicked in. sorry guys, but I'll do the best I can to write on my iPod touch and post it ASAP

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Ben stared at Kevin and Gwen as they smacked each other back and forth and back and forth. Each had a red mark on one cheek that was quickly turning a scarlet and crimson color with each added slap on top of the ones that had come in the minutes before.

"Kevin, you don't have to be such a jerk!" Gwen slapped him right back, the sound reverberating throughout the car, bouncing off the leather and being absorbed by the fabric on the ceiling.

The jade-eyed, brunette teen in the backseat stared at them both. It had been like twenty minutes now and the Forever Knights weren't just sitting at their castle waiting to get their butts kicked. If they did…. Ben snickered to himself. That'd be pretty funny. A bunch of guys sitting in metal tights and helmets and staring at a clock and waiting to have their butts kicked... But it was a mission and now they were late. Why? Because Gwen and Kevin had to knock each other senseless.

A mission had to go on hold for a slapfest between the lovers. Great.

"Gwen, really, I am not being a jerk. After all I've been through, you have the guts to call me names!" And he slapped her right back, softer. Even though he was much stronger than her and his morals were much less, he still knew the rules about hitting girls and about love. Despite arguments, love still rules over everything else in the world.

"Don't you know not to hit a girl?" Gwen yelled. She slapped him again. His cheek was turning even more red with every moment and Gwen wasn't taking the same pity on him that he was taking on her. She knew she didn't have to take pity on a tough, muscle car driving ex-con. He was strong enough to take it.

"PLEASE JUST STOP HITTING EACH OTHER!"

The dark teen's obsidian orbs turned to the backseat as the redhead looked back at her cousin. "When did you get here?" asked Kevin, blinking a couple of times before looking over to Gwen. "Did I pick him up or did he just randomly get in?"

Instead of replying, Gwen punched Kevin's shoulder. It wasn't harsh enough to hurt, but it was enough to give him a little piece of her mind. "You picked him up and we're supposed to be on a mission, remember?"

"NEITHER OF YOU REMEMBERED!" yelled Ben. He was furious by now, aggravated that his cousin and her boyfriend couldn't ignore this argument until they had gotten the fight over with and they were at Mr. Smoothy. "WE'VE BEEN SITTING IN THIS EXACT SPOT FOR ALMOST A HALF HOUR NOW! IT'S GETTING RIDICULOUS! QUIT HITTING EACH OTHER AND DRIVE!"

Kevin glared at Ben, his dark orbs flaring with a black blaze of fury. His raven colored hair fell over one eye, covering the reddening part of his ghostly white complexion. "You guys are so mean to me. I'm a living being too, ya know. You can't treat me like crap all the time."

Gwen slapped Kevin one more time. "Really? Because you don't have to be such a jerk all the time."

"Look who's talking, the girl who's abusing my poor face. I'm not made out of stone anymore, Gwen. It actually does hurt!" Kevin pushed the ebony strands away from his face and held a hand over his skin that was turning more of a shade of cherry now. A nearly blood red color.

Gwen stared at him. At last, she could see the real hurt in his dark eyes. "I'm sorry, Kev," she murmured, staring at him with the slightest of tiny smiles crossing her thin, pale lips.

And the ex-con smiled right back.

"Oh god," groaned Ben, immediately covering his eyes with his hands, his palms going right over his eyelids that were closed. He didn't want to see what was coming next. It was always the same thing after a fight.

He sat there trying to drown out the sounds of their making out for the next ten minutes until he finally interrupted by yelling about Forever Knights. Eventually Kevin realized that there was a mission and that was why Ben was still in the back seat.

A/N: alright, after this I'm writing another really good one. Full detail and all. Like 'Hit' and 'Poison' and 'Breathe'. So I hope you enjoy it… review!
