[Fic] Shoulder to Cry On

[cybra2003]

Title:  Shoulder to Cry On

Pairing:  pre-Kevin/Ben

Rating:  G

Summary:  Hysterical crying, Kevin would later note, sounded a lot like hysterical laughing.

Notes:  I'm having the week from Hell and I just don't feel like I'm doing anything right, so I figured I'd just write it up and get it out of my system.  Completely un-beta'd.

1) Awww...A sad Ben is a very sad thing. =[

2) Hope your week gets better <3

I liked how you wrote the hurt/comfort in this and how Kevin was still willing to reach out even though he had that whole "I am a guy I don't know how to do this" deal going on. I have to admit, I was really touched the first time I read it that I couldn't exactly think of anything to put in a comment. With most of the silliness that goes on at this comm (not to say that anyone here is without talent, we just do a lot of goofy things), the raw emotion in this was surprising and made for a really unique read. Even if this was short, I think I may have taken something away from it and I feel like I could write more emotional scenes with more confidence just by seeing this example.

*paws at* Oh...oh...that just...love...love...sad Ben, then Kevin...and...myewwwww! *hugs* And I love the way you began it, with the "hysterical laughing sounds like hysterical crying." That was genius. I'm agreeing with tonny's words up there: this was quite a unique read, and I feel like I could definitely take from this and use the feeling I got from it to improve my own writing.

I love you, and I hope only wonderful things happen to you from now on. But I'm really glad you got this out of your system. :3

;-; What happened?

But Kevin hesitating, and eventually giving in to the instinct to go comfort Ben despite his 'what-do-I-do' feeling was really sweet. Well, more than sweet; it was touching. So great job with bringing in the emotions.
