Summer
Summer, no doubt about it, was Kevin’s favorite season. And not just because it was the perfect time to go for dips in the lake or eat popsicles and ice cream while lounging outside on comfy beach chairs. Now don’t get him wrong, he was all for the fun and relaxing too but he really likes it more because of something else.
Kevin likes it because you see, Ben gets hot almost too easily and summer time is the time when Kevin gets to enjoy the sight of the green eyed boy in his swimwear or running around shirtless in his back yard doing soccer drills, lithe, tanned body glistening in the sunlight, practically every day.
Senses
“Are you sure you don’t want me to at least try and fix this?”
“For the millionth time Benjy, I just got back to normal, I am NOT letting you use the omnitrix…err…ultimatix-” here he paused to roll his eyes. Omnitrix, ultimatrix, same difference. “-on me for as long as I live. Being a wood-metal-rock hybrid ain’t fun.”
Ben pouted at him but he could clearly see the doubt and the concern lingering in the younger boy’s eyes. He faked a nonchalant eyebrow.
“Have it your way then.”
Among the three of them, all the weird…well weirder things always seemed to happen to Kevin. Getting turned into an old man, getting mutated into a hybrid of solid matter and now this. Shortly after the omnitrix self destructed and reversed what it had done to Kevin, the cursed alien watch bestowed upon the half osmosian yet another weird anomaly. It wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been, they all know that but still, Ben and Gwen want to see if the ultimatrix can repair genetic damage as well and fix this before it morphs into something potentially dangerous.
It’s as simple as this, after getting turned back to normal seemed to have messed up Kevin’s senses. His sense of sight, smell taste and touch have all been heightened to practically a super human level. Now, bright colors actually hurt his eyes, strong scents make his eyes water and anything moderately loud makes him grind his teeth in pain.
Gwen and Ben had both been worried but Kevin brushed them off, absolutely and stubbornly refusing to be fixed, claiming that it wasn’t that bad, it wasn’t dangerous and it was certainly not worth risking getting turned into something worse by Ben’s brand new ultimatrix.(The omnitrix alone turned him into a patchwork of different things twice. Imagine what the new and improved ultimatrix might do to him.)
That was his excuse but he had another reason for not wanting to get rid of his enhanced senses that he would never admit to either one of the Tennyson cousins.
He loved staring at Ben when the brunette wasn’t looking before, but now, with his sharper eyes, he could see with stunning clarity every curve, every plane of Ben’s face, that strong jaw, those high cheek bones, Ben’s face looked like a priceless Da Vinci through his new eyes and Ben’s eyes…they were already a pretty, vivid green before but now, the greens of his irises looked like emeralds against light and Kevin was sure he would never get tired of staring into eyes like those.
With his new nose he could smell what he only had faint whiffs of before whenever he managed to get as close to Ben as possible. Ben smelled like green tea and honey grass. It was weird but Kevin liked it and with his heightened sense of smell, he didn’t even have to get that close to smell it.
With his new ears he could recognize the precise note of Ben’s voice, never mistake it for anyone else’s. Within a distance, he can hear Ben’s every breath, every heartbeat.
With his new senses, he had an all new awareness of Ben that he would never had when he was normal and considering he doesn’t stand a chance with the weilder of the ultimatrix anyway, he was taking what he can get.
He could only ever dream to stare at Ben’s face when it’s an inch away from his, only ever dream to press his ear against his chest to listen to his heartbeat, to press his nose against the younger boy’s skin and take in his scent.
With his new senses all of that was almost possible.
And Kevin wouldn’t want to trade it for anything.
Gossip girl
At first Gwen thought that it was fun to torture Ben by forcing him to watch Gossip girl with her but a few days later as when she, Ben and Kevin sat in her living room watching clash of the titans, she thought it wasn’t such a good idea after all.
It was common for Ben to sneak glances at Kevin every 2 seconds, ogle him shamelessly every minute or make unabashed rape eyes at the older teen every once in a while and she had gotten used to it so when he started doing just that 10 minutes into the movie, she ignored it. They were halfway through the surprisingly bad movie when Ben stood up, announced that he was hungry and strode into the kitchen.
He came back with a box of chocolate coated strawberries and Gwen, too absorbed in staring at Sam Worthington(hey, she may be less shallower than most but she’s still a girl) still paid him no mind. He sat back down in his spot next to Kevin and began to eat. Or at least that’s all she thought he was doing.
Kevin was sitting to her left and one of the black haired teens hands were resting on the cushion between them, his pinky just barely brushing Gwen’s knee.
His hand so suddenly twitched and the action was so sudden, Gwen felt it clearly.
Out of reflex, she looked over to see what’s wrong.
Kevin was biting his lip and a quick glance down revealed that he was clenching his fists tightly, his knuckles were almost white, as if he was holding back from something.
A little too innocently, Ben also turned to Kevin and asked. “Something wrong Kev?”
Right after he asked, he bit down on a strawberry and let his lips a little slowly brush against the shiny chocolate coating before closing over his teeth.
The action was meant to not be noticed she was sure but she saw it anyway and immediately she knew what was going on.
Oh. My. God.
“Nothing” Kevin grumbled.
She knew she should have said something right then but for some reason that she will regret later, she kept quiet and continued watching the movie, sneaking glances at the two teens next to her to make sure they wouldn’t start making out on the couch right next to her because seriously, that would not be cool, not cool at all.
One glance, she caught Ben licking chocolate off his fingers and she barely resisted the urge to hide her suddenly warm face behind her hands and groan in exasperation.
She didn’t look up from her hands to see his face but Kevin’s fist tightened even more against her leg and not long after that, Kevin stood up as if someone dropped an ice cube down his shirt. She looked up to see the older boy dragging Ben by the wrist to the direction of the downstairs bathroom and Gwen barely managed to hold back the shout of ‘Don’t you dare do what I think you’re about to do!’ that threatened to come out her throat and alert her parents who she knew were sitting in the dining room and would surely hear.
She groaned. If it gave him ideas like this, Ben was never going to watch gossip girl ever.again.
