Ben 10 Porn Story: Shotgun – Chapter 7

Disclaimer: I do not own Ben 10 Alien Force or any of its characters; and for the sake of some of these drabbles, I also do not own Sky High, Supernatural, or Doctor Who. Yeah, I did some little crossovery things. :3 Couldn’t help myself.

Tutoring

So, howre you doing in school these days, Ben? Julie asked idly one day. Ben looked up from his notebook and frowned.

Fine, I guess. Why dyou ask?

Julie shrugged. Oh, no reason, really. Its just that you havent asked me to help you study in a while.

Oh, right. Ben looked down at his notes again. Ive just been asking Kevin for help instead. Sorry, I guess I shouldve mentioned that.

Julie looked surprised. Youre asking Kevin for help?

Ben gave her an indignant look. Hey, hes actually a good student. You know he got an 89 on his entrance exam, right?

No, not that, Julie said. The surprise didnt leave her face. Im just amazed you can actually focus on schoolwork with him instead of sex.

Little Things

Relationships have been made from stranger stuff. And the basis of theirs had been a shaky one. Memories of fierce hatred shamefully fresh in their minds, they share two weeks of careful glances and awkward smiles before they decide to date.

Like any budding relationship, they still have things to work out. Like where they go to dinner; what movies they watch together on weekends; how much (if any) PDA happens on a regular basis. And like any new couple they sometimes have trouble communicating. Sometimes the look in Ben’s eyes is a message in a bottle lost at sea; Kevin’s responses being the ship that finds it fifty years later. Sometimes there are moments of silence that they fear would stop the world.

And of course, like any anxious, emotional teenagers they fail to notice the little things at first. Things they can’t say; don’t think to say, because they are already automatic. Their bodies are more aware than they are of these little things; and so it is only in the quiet of night, when their minds are too tired to think, that they don’t need to notice.

Ben’s head is on the armrest of Kevin’s couch and he lazily twirls a lock of black hair in his fingers. Kevin lays with one ear pressed against Ben’s chest, listening to his heartbeat, his arms wrapped around his lover’s waist.

It’s more than just the rhythm of the heartbeat that soothes Kevin. The fact that it’s there is even better than the sound itself. At one time, he’d wanted nothing more than for it to stop.

And the fact that it’s Ben’s fingers curled in his hair right now means that he’s been forgiven.

Ben scoots down slightly for a more comfortable position. The armrest under his neck is making him feel stiff. Kevin shifts on top of him as well, the older boy’s head nuzzling his chin.

The way Kevin’s hair feels in between his fingers…feels nothing like it did five years ago. Clinging onto it for purchase on the mutant’s broad back, he’d felt rough knots and matted ends. It was coarse; just like everything else about him at that time.

Now Kevin is softer and kinder; and Ben’s fingers glide through his hair as smoothly as if it were water.

Subconsciously, both feel the change. But all they understand is the past. The days of hatred and conflict; days when the sound of a heartbeat or the feel of black hair were not worth a second thought. There were bigger things on their minds then. So the little things are left in the dark.

But relationships have been made of stranger stuff; and as long as their bodies are aware and their hearts are willing, there is a chance that the little things will be brought to the light.

Assigned Seating

Come on, Julie! One little joy-ride? Please?

Julie made a face. Umpromise never to make that face again and everyone can definitely have a ride. She looked down at her little dog-like alien pet. What dyou think, Ship? Is that a deal?

Ship beeped happily. Kevin stopped making puppy-dog eyes at Julie, which everyone had to agree was very creepy.

Ship transformed into a giant, well, ship and opened up to let them all inside. Julie clambered into one of the front seats and Kevin and Gwen went to one in the back. But before Ben could sit down himself, Gwen was suddenly forced from her seat. Ship gave an unhappy beep.

Gwen frowned. What was that for?

Ship, whats wrong? Julie asked.

Yeah, how come Gwen cant sit down? Ben asked. He started to sit down next to Julie, but with another unhappy beep, Ship forced him from his seat as well. While Ben was rubbing his head where it hit the controls, Ship began a series of urgent beeps. Owhow come I cant sit either?

Ship continued to beep in his urgent manner.

Ship, whats wrong? Julie asked again. What are you trying to say?

Ship soon became impatient with all this non-responsiveness and jolted backwards, sending Gwen flying to the back of the cockpit and Ben into the seat next to Kevin, where he was promptly strapped down. Ship gave a satisfied beep. Kevin and Ben looked at each other.

As soon as Gwen had stumbled into the remaining seat, Ship took off for a very awkward twenty-minute flight.

Ben and Kevin learned to sit next to each other whenever they asked for joy-rides after that.

Wont Say Im in Love

No! Ben clapped his hands over both ears, shaking his head vigorously. No, no, no, no! Im not hearing it; Im not seeing it; Im not saying it. I am not in love with Kevin!

Gwen and Julie looked at each other, sighing.

Youre going to have to admit it eventually, Gwen told him. One day Kevins bound to notice the goofy smile you get on your face whenever you see him.

Or hear his voice, Julie added.

Or think of him, Gwen put in. Even if that ones considerably less obvious.

I do not get a goofy smile on my face, Ben protested.

Gwen frowned and tried something else. You liked him five years ago.

Exactly. Five years ago. Ben flopped backwards onto his bed and glared at the ceiling. Thats over and done with. He refused to stop being evil and that was that.

But hes good now, isnt he? Julie pointed out.

So what? Like I said, I dont love him.

Gwen and Julie sighed again. Yes you do!

Ben threw a pillow and turned over onto his stomach. Will you two get off my case? I do not love Kevin!

Oh, you girls dont know how to give a boy a break, do you?

Everyone looked up. Gwen and Ben each got big smiles on their faces.

Grandma! Gwen ran up for a hug. Verdona chuckled.

I told you Id be checking in now and again, she said as Gwen finally stepped back from the hug. She seated herself comfortably on Bens bed and asked, Now, whats this about you being in love?

Ben pouted. Theyre trying to talk me into saying Im in love with Kevin. Which Im not, he added irritably, glaring at Julie and his cousin. Verdona smiled at that and opened up her arms.

Come here, sweetie. Grandma wont let them pick on you. Ben smiled and practically jumped into her arms, and she held him against her chest. Not that I disagree with them, mind you, she put in as soon as he was quite securely in her arms.

Ben made a disbelieving noise and looked up at her. Grandma! Verdona just smiled and patted his back.

Gwen laughed a little. You see, Ben? Even Grandma Verdona sees it. Ben grumbled against his grandmothers chest.

not in love with him, he mumbled.

Yes you are, dear, Verdona said matter-of-factly.

Lets take another look at the evidence, Julie said, pulling out her notepad. Number one, you liked him in the past. Number two, you smile a lot whenever youre around him. Number three, he is your favorite conversation topic.

Is not! Ben protested.

Julie gave him a flat look. Remember our date, before it went insane and I got kidnapped by Ship?

Ben grumbled again.

Moving on, Julie started again, clearing her throat, Number four, whenever the opportunity presents itself, you like to be sitting or standing right next to him.

And before you say otherwise, Ben; last week you practically fought me to get in the passenger seat, Gwen interjected.

I was feeling a little carsick that day, Ben argued lamely.

I think hes heard enough, Verdona interrupted, patting Bens back again. Hell admit it when he wants to.

Ben sighed. Thanks, Grandma. He could tell the other two were disappointed.

Hed never say it out loud, anyway. But, he thought, settling comfortably in his grandmothers arms, I do love him.

The Good Old Days

When Kevin Levin transferred into Sky High (straight into his sophomore year through the schools new Young Villain Reform program) he bragged about the numerous bank robberies and weapons trades that got him landed in solitarywhen he was eleven. He carried himself with a swagger, and even though he was younger than them, within two days he had Lash and Speed following him around like they were his little puppy dogs.

Will had teased Warren, I think he may be more badass than you.

Warren had smirked and replied, Shut up, Stronghold.

That same year, Ben Tennyson had come to the school as a freshman. Anybody who talked about him called him a prodigy. He was born to normal, human parents and discovered his unusual shape-shifting powers at the age of ten. Apparently, hed immediately started up the hero business and, in fact, was the one who put Kevin Levin into solitary.

A bigger legend than you, eh, Stronghold? Warren ribbed his boyfriend. Will just rolled his eyes.

Naturally when the two new big legends on campus learned of each others presence, things gotbroken. The whole cafeteria, to be exact.

Ah, the good old days, Magenta sighed. She and Layla were watching the fight with expressions of nostalgia. Look, that Tennyson kids even throwing fireballs, she added, pointing to the giant lava-rock-type creature that was undeniably Ben.

How long dyou think they have before they start mackin on each other in the halls? Zach asked boredly.

I give em three weeks. A month, tops.

Will gave Warren a strange look. Its like youre saying theyre smarter than us. It took us until just last summer to hook up.

Remember, though; Tennyson was responsible for sending Levin to solitary five years ago, Warren pointed out. Theyve known each other longer than we have. Will had to concede to that.

Aww! Layla suddenly cooed. Kevin just picked up the lunch table!

Warren and Will glanced over at the scene.

Where the hell is Principal Powers? Will wondered aloud. Warren shrugged.

Who knows? Wanna go take care of it?

Will sighed and stood up. Ill go grab the fire extinguisher.

Warren stood up, too, chuckling.

They went to stop the fight. Then they agreed to set the two rivals up for Save the Citizen later.

Just like the good old days.

Male Bonding

God, finally!

Kevin slumped against his car as he and Ben finally managed to roll it into the small, abandoned garage. Once hed caught his breath, he turned to survey the damage.

Shitdented bumper, front tires out, paints scratchedyou just had to throw the giant rosebush alien in the direction of my car, didnt you? Kevin turned to glare at Ben. Ben just smiled apologetically.

Sorry. I wasnt thinking.

Kevin sighed and looked at his damaged car again, scratching his head. WellI cant do a damn thing without my toolsOmnitrix still timed out?

Ben held up his wrist to show the Omnitrixs red face. Kevin cursed.

Damn it. I knew I shoulda kept a spare toolbox in the trunk.

Ill try calling Gwen; see if she canI dunnoteleport here with your toolbox or something, Ben said, pulling out his phone and walking outside.

After several minutes of trying to get a signal, Ben looked up at the sound of arguing. He noticed, about ten feet away, a black car being pushed up the road by two guys. Who were arguing.

Deanthisisridiculous, one was saying through clenched teeth.

That auto-shopbastardaint touchin my car, the other one replied. Keep pushin Sammy.

Ben recalled with some irony having the exact same conversation with Kevin not too long ago.

When they finally reached the small garage, both looking relieved, Kevin came out, evidently wondering what was taking Ben so long to call Gwen. Then he saw the two guys.

You need somethin? Kevin asked.

Yeah. the one called Dean jerked his head towards the garage. I need to get in there and fix my car so my brother and I can be on our way.

Kevin looked over the black car appraisingly. 67 Impala, he said after a moment, sounding neither impressed nor disapproving. Dean raised a brow.

Yeah, and?

Got any tools?

Youre not touchin my car, Dean told Kevin vehemently. His brother laid a hand on his arm.

Dean

Ben cleared his throat. Um, no; what he meant is, we dont have any tools ourselves. Do you mind if we borrow some?

Dean peered into the garage. 76 Camaro, he said in very much the same manner Kevin had earlier.

Yeah, and?

Ill let you borrow my tools. Theyre in the trunk. He led Kevin around to the back of the Impala while Ben and the brother called Sam just stood in front of the garage. Seconds later, Kevin had a maniacal outburst of, Ohhh, stoked! and pulled out some kind of rifle.

Oh no, Ben groaned. He found weapons. Im never gonna get him back on the road.

Sams lips were set in a thin line as he nodded in agreement. Tell me about it.

Sighing, Ben looked at his companion-by-unfortunate-circumstance. So. What dyou do for a living?

Sam and Ben spent three hours talking about ghosts and aliens while the other two did some male bonding over auto parts and weaponry.

The Doctor

Ah, Doctor! So good to see you again!

Paradox greeted his old friend warmly with a firm handshake and the gesture was returned.

You havent changed a bit. How longs it been this time? Twelve-thousand years? Two-hundred?

I was thinking about twenty-thousand this time, Paradox said, half to himself. Though I cant be sure. The timeframe always seems to get away from me. He peered over the Doctors shoulder at his young friend and the grinning young man next to her. You brought Jack?

He tagged along, the Doctor replied. Have you met Martha?

I dont believe Ive had the pleasure, Paradox answered brightly, holding out his hand to the young woman. She shook it reluctantly. Splendid! Now, young Ben should be here any minute.

Very much on cue, at least on Paradoxs part, Ben and his group walked up the others.

The Doctor looked Ben over. Ah, so this is the one you wanted me to meet.

Hes quite a bright individual.

As Ben came up to them, he greeted Paradox with a typical politeness, while Kevin pointed to the Doctor and said, Whos he?

His name is the Doctor, Paradox answered, brushing off Kevins rudeness. Hes the last of a race called the Timelords. So, naturally, he time travels.

Ben smiled and shook the Doctors hand. Right. Naturally.

We didnt know there were any other time travelers besides you, Gwen said to Paradox. This is an interesting surprise.

The Doctor here was passing by on his way to visit Ancient Greece, Paradox continued. And I thought it would be nice for the two of you to meet.

Real pleasure, Kevin said shortly; and he jerked his head towards the man behind the Doctor currently giving Ben sultry looks. Whos the pretty boy there?

Jack took that opportunity to step forward and take Bens hand. Captain Jack Harkness, he said with a short wink. At your service.

Jack, stop it, the Doctor scolded. Though flatly, as though he were tired of saying it.

Aww. Jack pouted. I can never be friendly, can I?

Kevin yanked Ben away from him. Not with him ya cant. Back off, pretty boy!

Paradox turned to the Doctor with a smile. Young Kevin is quite a fine example of the adjective possessive, he said good-humouredly.

The Doctor put his hands in his coat pocket, looking quite amiable. Well, at least I dont have to convince Jack to back off.

Jack pouted some more.

Kevin glared.

So! Paradox clapped once in that cheery lets move along, then way that some people do, Who wants to take their first look at a TARDIS?

An Understanding

Kevin pulled over at the street corner once Ben was home; the sudden stop almost making Gwen hit her head against the dash. She glared at him.

What was that about?

Kevin turned to her. I need to clear up somethin, he told her, since I dont want you getting hypnotized by some pretty boy just cuz youre mad at me.

I did not get

Gwen, Kevin began warningly, his voice rising. He had something to say and he was not going to be interrupted for the sake of female pride. You were pissed cuz I wouldnt ask you out, right? I wouldnt be able to stand it if you got hurt just for a stupid reason like that. Id never forgive myself.

Gwen frowned at him suspiciously, her arms folded over her chest. I know you like me, Kevin. Why havent you asked me out?

Kevin sighed. This one wasnt going to be easy. I really do like you. Youre really somethin special. I meant that. But the fact is, I like your cousin more.

Gwen blinked. She wasnt sure if she heard that right. Mycousin? As in, Ben? Because hes the only cousin I have, you know.

Yup, thats the one.

Oh. Gwen blinked. Oh. Well, that explains a lot. Why didnt you say so before?

Uh Kevin stared at her blankly. I didnt think youd take it this well.

Well, its not like Im not disappointed, Gwen admitted. But I dont like being in the dark. She looked Kevin straight in the eye. No more secrets, okay?

Kevin blinked. Okay.

Good. Gwen leaned back in the passenger seat, satisfied that they had reached an understanding.

Save the Citizen

All right, Stronghold, Hothead; whore you challenging next?

Warren smirked and jerked his head in the proper direction. Tennyson and Levin.

They whooped their asses, of course.

When Will Stronghold and Warren Peace team up, no one can beat them, especially not bitter enemies like Ben Tennyson and Kevin Levin.

Thats not why they challenged them, anyway. They challenged them because it was the right thing to do. Because it would give them a jumpstart on what both Will and Warren already knew would happen.

Coach Boomer knew what they were doing. Just dont turn the activity into a matchmaking center, all right?

By Bens insistence and determination and Kevins pride, the two demanded a challenge three times that week, and two more the next. They never won, but it was obvious that they were slowly becoming closer.

And then one day the super couples subtle efforts finally paid off. After three weeks of repeated battles, the news spread around the school that Ben Tennyson and Kevin Levin were dating (this was all thanks to a mind reader that had happened to pick it up in the locker room).

Save the Citizen, Principal Powers sighed that afternoon in her office. We really need to reconsider the workings of this game. I cant understand how it keeps bringing students together.

The First Move

Ben sat shoulder to shoulder with Kevin at the lunch table about six feet from theirs. Layla and Magenta cooed at them while they munched on salad and overcooked chili. Warren and Will just looked proud of themselves; and as usual, Zach was making a giant conundrum out of the entire thing.

Who dyou think made the first move?

Magenta sighed, only half-listening as she watched Kevin put his arm around Ben. I bet Kevin. Hes so impatient and forward; I dont think he wouldve been able to hold back for long.

Really? He seems all surly and moody to me; like Warren, Zach mused. Wait a minuteWarren, did you make the first move or did Will? Will opened his mouth to answer for Warren, but his boyfriend cut him off quickly with a kiss.

No, dont tell him; I want him to guess.

Will chuckled. Youre so weird.

Layla rolled her eyes. It was Warren, of course. Will didnt even know he was gay until I told him.

Warren scowled. Ruin my fun, will you, hippie? Layla smiled back at him sweetly.

Id have to agree with Magenta on those two, Ethan said, referring back to Kevin and Ben. Kevins too impatient.

Hes also stubborn, Will pointed out. He was the first one to say he hated Tennyson, right?

But Bens also innocent and sweet, Layla said helpfully. Just like you, Will. She smiled; and the extreme sickly sweetness of it almost made Warren gag.

Innocent and sweet? Seriously hippiedense sums him up nicely.

Pouting, Will shoved Warrens face away when he leaned in for a kiss. What a loving boyfriend you are, he said sarcastically.

Warren sighed. Look, has anyone considered just asking them?

Everyone looked at him.

He turned back to his would-likely-remain-uneaten mystery meat, grumbling, Of course not, that would just be the easy thing to do, wouldnt it?

And everyone went back to guessing, while Layla and Magenta simultaneously oohed and awwed over the happy couple.

Set seven: END.
