Ben 10 Porn Story: Postbellum Concerns Chapter 2
The New and Improved Alien-Mobile
Kevin wanted to go to the car show. Gwen wanted to go through a list of missing persons and see who had been found. Gwen won because she gave him a kiss and Kevin was a bit frustrated. A kiss wouldnt cut it forever, but for the moment, it was enough to bend him to her will.
I cant believe you arent more concerned about this, Gwen said, eyes glued to the television as another former DNAlien was reunited with her family- her name was Theresa, she had been missing for three months and apparently her twelve year old daughter had missed her very much, Look at this, Kevin! We helped bring these two back together!
Big deal, Kevin said from behind a mouthful of potato chips, Come on, the show only lasts for a few days and I dont want all the good cars to be gone!
You can go without me if you want to.
Gwen had a way of talking that sometimes irritated Kevin (only sometimes though, because Gwen rarely used it). She would make her voice slightly higher and more sing-songy and whenever she used that tone of voice, it meant that if Kevin did what she was telling him to do, he would never get any for as long as they both lived (or until he gave into her wishes). Gwen was talking in that tone of voice at that very moment so Kevin just growled a little and stuffed more chips into his mouth.
Dont worry, she said, curling up into Kevin. She put her hand on his chest just lightly enough, I promise well go. Just two more, she paused, How are we getting to the car show anyway? The bus?
It wasnt the coolest thing in the world, Kevin knew, but the fact was there was no other way to get there, so he nodded.
I have a better idea! Gwen exclaimed, Kens home from school so he can take us!
Kevin was about to explain that a) he would not be caught dead in Kens car, b) he would not be caught dead being driven by Ken in Kens car and c) if he tried to get into Kens car, he would have a heart attack because of what a piece of crap it was, but before he could, Ken was suddenly behind them.
Ken can take you where? Ken asked, ruffling Gwens hair.
Kevin decided he liked the look of Gwens hair all messed up and he should work extra hard to make sure it got messed up again in the near future.
Kevin needs to get a new car, Gwen explained, The Alien-Mobile got wrecked.
What did you just call my car? Kevin demanded, not really sure if he had heard Gwen correctly.
Bens idea, Gwen said quickly before looking back up at Ken, So can you take us?
We dont need a ride. Kevin said at the same time Ken said, Sure.
Even though Gwen didnt catch it (she was concentrating on the reunion of Luke Liddell and his fiance), both Kevin and Ken did and began glaring at each other.
There wasnt anything in particular that created a problem between the two guys. Instead, it was simply that Kevin didnt like Ken because of his car and his pansy-ass way of dealing with things (and the way Gwen worshipped him) and Ken didnt like Kevin simply because he and Gwen were unofficially going out (not that either parties involved would admit it).
Okay, see, Gwen said, Two more- lets go, she took Kevins hand and prepared to do what she had recently gone in the habit of doing- running her fingertips quickly over his fingernails; before she could, however, Kevin ripped his hand from hers.
Ken glared at Kevin. Kevin ignored him.
So do you know what kind of car youre looking for? Gwen asked as they drove to the car show in the Awesome-Mobile.
Not really, Kevin said uncomfortably, Just, you know, check things out and see what they got and if I see something, Ill get it. The seats in the Awesome-Mobile werent as cushiony as the ones in his old car. The fabric was so itchy, Kevin thought he was going to have to scratch his butt. He wasnt sure how Gwen, who had ditched her school outfit in favor of denim shorts and a chiffon blouse, could bear it.
A new car or an old one? I think you should get a new one, like an SUV, especially if were getting more people on our team. Your old car only had five seats, right? Thats barely enough for all of us, Kevin looked at her quizzically, You, me, Ben, Julie and Ship.
The dog does not get its own seat.
What kind of dog is it? Ken asked from the front seat.
A mutt, Kevin said cockily, A mix of some fancy breeds that someone like me wouldnt be able to pronounce.
Gwens mouth dropped open slightly. A reprimand was on the tip of her tongue; Kevin could sense this and he looked at her with such an angry longing that Gwen kept her words to herself.
The rest of the ride was filled with a thick cloud of tension. When Ken dropped them off, he asked how much time they would need.
Go home, Kevin said in that same cocky voice, Ill bring Gwen home.
Ken started at Kevin. Kevin stared back. Ken left. Kevin smirked. Gwen was furious.
I cannot believe you acted like that! Towards my brother, no less! Gwen started walking down the aisles of cars, focusing solely on her sneakers.
Aw, come on! Kevin followed after her, Cut me some slack! You didnt see the way he was looking at me!
I dont care how he was looking at you! Gwen stopped and turned to him, Hes still my brother!
You dont get angry when I treat Ben like that, Kevin wanted to slap himself, feeling like he was about two steps away from cocking his hips and placing his hands on them.
Thats because hes my cousin and hes different, she made it sound like it was the simplest thing in the world and Kevin almost wished he could smack her- then stopped. Sometimes he still couldnt help the terrible, horrible thoughts that snuck into his brain; the result of living too long by himself, both in New York, then in the Null Void and finally in Bellwood. Up until meeting Gwen and Ben again, every thought he ever had, ever secret desire and every little bit of anger just simmered in his brain, morphing into a mish-mash of sociopathic, uncontrollable-
Kevin? Gwen put her hand on his shoulder.
Lets take a look at that car, Kevin pulled her towards a red 38 Oldsmobile.
Gwen knew when to drop something, Youre not serious.
Im not, Kevin smirked.
They looked at several vintage cars, from Demons to Comets. Gwen tried to steer Kevin towards the newer Envoys and FJ Cruisers. As a joke, Kevin suggested they get an E-250 Cargo Van. Unfortunately for him, Gwen didnt realize it had been a joke and full-heartedly agreed that thats what he should get. Kevin changed her mind by hinting at all the lewd things they could do in the back with the seats removed.
For a moment, Kevin thought he had gone too far when Gwen grew silent, Whats wrong? he asked.
I was just thinking about Gwen paused, We dont really know that much about each other.
Whats there to know? Youre a butt-kicking half-Alien and Im the coolest guy around. Without thinking, Kevin picked Gwen up and began swinging her around. She yelled at him to put her down in between her giggles. Thats when Kevin saw it.
Hey, he said suddenly stopping, but still holding Gwen up around the waist, Hey, Gwen, how about that?
Gwen took one look at what he was pointing at and immediately looked back at him, knowing it was a joke, Oh, yeah. Great idea, Kevin! Im sure all of us would be quite comfortable with that.
Kevin put her down and walked slowly towards the black monster, No, Im serious!
Theres only two seats, Gwen pointed out, I thought the idea was to get a car that could fit the entire team!
I never said that, Kevin said, I think this is the one!
Gwen walked up behind him, Not much room for any tech you might find.
Thats okay, he said, I can get another ride and this one can be for pleasure only. Gwen thought she would just about collapse the way Kevin was looking at her.
I still dont think its a good idea, she said finally.
Come on, he said, Ill give you a kiss if you say you like it.
Of course, Gwen was never one to turn down a kiss from Kevin.
An hour later, Ken glared at Kevin through the window of the Tennyson household. Gwen unwrapped herself from around Kevin. She was sorely tempted to give him just one last kiss before he left, but she could feel her brothers disapproving stare through the window. She decided to cut Ken some slack; it was the first time she was unofficially going out with a guy (even if neither parties involved would admit it), so he was just acting like any older brother would.
See you tomorrow? Gwen asked.
Nah, Kevin said, Im doing business tomorrow.
Sure you dont want me to come along? Gwen wanted to slap herself. She felt like she was two steps away from turning into a needy, clingy girl-who-was-a-friend.
Yeah, Im sure. Its not something I want you to get involved in, Kevin said, But Ill see you after that. What do you think those preppy rich kids at your school would say if I showed up on this thing?
Theyd probably say something like wow, there goes that half-Alien freak and the coolest guy around.
Kevin grinned. Gwen took a step back. Kevin drove away on his new motorcycle.
AN: I have decided to make Postbellum Concerns a series of mostly unrelated one-shots, all set after War of the Worlds and in no particular order, mostly because I keep thinking of ideas of what mightve happened to the characters after the final episode, especially since I have no clue if theres going to be a third season (heres hoping!) and I need something to tide me over for a while until the movie. I feel like this one maybe was a little more unfocused than my other two stories so far, but oh well! This is dedicated to my very first repeat reviewers, Dragonscall and Green Gallant. As usual, all comments are appreciated!
