Ben 10 Porn Story: Babysitting blues Chapter 4
Devlin was woken by the faint sound of sobbing. The young Sonorosian had awaken from it’s sleep, crying silently. It’s cries were soft, small hiccups and whines, too silent to wake the sleeping rock, Kenny. He could sleep through almost anything.
“Hey hey, what’s with the tears?” The elder boy managed to sit up, pulling the alien from the arms of the brunet to comfort him. “Miss your mom? Can’t say I relate to that.” After what Devlin had been through in his short eleven years, he didn’t miss what he used to have. His mother had abandoned him and his father was never around. He’d always been alone, but then Kenny’s family took him in. Which was why Devlin was afraid to tell Kenny or anyone else about this awkward crush. How could you have a crush on your brother? True, he was adopted, but it was still some form of incest. Right?
This was his family. He couldn’t be with Kenny even if Kenny wanted him back. Which, according to Gwen, he did.
Devlin sighed and made his way out of bed, the alien still in his arms. He needed to talk to Ben. And Ben was usually up at all hours of the day in the lab or patrolling around the city. So he headed to the control room.
Inside, Ben was standing and looking over a few screens, occasionally typing things. Ben seemed to notice him after a moment, smiling down at him and ruffling his hair.
“Shouldn’t you be sleeping?” He asked.
“Echo Echo woke me, so I thought I’d walk around and let him fall back asleep. And… I needed to talk to you.” His blue eyes drifted down to the infant in his arms, sleeping soundly while moving closer to get more heat.
“Oh? Well, what’s on your mind?” Ben pulled out a seat for Devlin, seating himself in another across from him. The boy fidgeted in his seat, trying to let his nervousness pass to speak clearly.
“If two people aren’t blood-related but are in the same family, can they like each other?”
“I don’t see why not. Besides, Ken likes you too.” Ben smirked, already knowing that Devlin had been referring to himself. “He goes on and on about how cool Devlin is, what Devlin did on his hover board, how he took some bad guy down.” Devlin’s pale skin gained a pink tint, looking away from his adoptive father to stare down at the baby.
“Hey, quit teasing my kid.” Kevin said as he pushed himself off of the wall that he’d been leaning on for quite some time now. Devlin was surprised by his presence, only giving him a glance before looking away. “And yeah, Kenny does like Devlin. I talked to him earlier today. He was pretty obvious about it.” This seemed to bother Devlin. Why did he talk to Kenny? Just what did he want from him? After eleven years of his father, he knew that he was up to something.
“You leave Ken alone! Don’t you even think about using him!” He yelled as he stood from his seat, running out of the room with the crying infant. Kevin sighed and leaned back against the wall, sliding down to sit on the floor.
“What am I doin’ wrong? I didn’t do anything!”
“You abused him and neglected him for eleven years, Kevin. It’s gonna take a long time to make that up to him. He’s just scared that you’ll do something to Kenny. And Kenny is the person he’s closest to, so he’s going to be very protective over him.” Ben said as he stood up, heading over to the slump of an ex-con and sitting down in front of him on the floor. “Just give him time, try to show him that you’ve changed. So I don’t recommend telling him if you talk to Kenny. He thinks that you’re going to hurt Ken, he doesn’t want him going through what he went through.”
“So exactly what am I supposed to do?” Kevin sneered at him, frustrated. He’d been trying like crazy to make it up to the kid, but nothing was working.
“Well, Kenny and I trust you. After what happened we’ve forgiven you, it’s just gonna take a bit longer for Devlin. Kenny will get him to come around though, so don’t worry too much about it, just try and think of ways you can get his attention.” He smiled across at him reassuringly.
“Yeah, I guess I could keep trying.” Kevin smiled back weakly at Ben.
Devlin ran, using his XLR8 powers to rush back to his room, back to Kenny. The cries of the baby woke the brunet, immediately sitting up and looking around the darkened room for the baby. His green eyes settled on the dark figure that was Devlin, stumbling to get to his feet to approach him.
“Dev, what’s goin’ on?” He asked, voice tired from a clear lack of sleep. Devlin just passed the infant over to him before pulling the Xenomorph into his arms, softly shaking. Of course, Kenny was blushing like mad, keeping the baby in his grasp as it started to calm down.
“Did you really talk to him, Ken?” The hurt was obvious in his voice, arms desperate to keep the smaller in his arms and pressed against him.
“Him?” It took Kenny a moment to realize just who Devlin meant. “Devlin, h-he’s not bad anymore. Dad would’ve kicked his butt back into great-grandpa’s containment unit if he was still evil. He’s good now, and he’s trying to show you that. Just, give him a chance.”
“He’s had chances! All throughout my life! Why should I give him another chance to hurt me?! You’re all I have Ken…” His voice grew soft, his face nuzzling into the crook of the brunet’s neck. “He only thinks about revenge. About hurting Be- dad… Trust me Kenny, he hasn’t changed, and he’ll hurt you to get to dad. I don’t want you to get hurt… You mean too much to me… You’re all I have left…” The elder was now silently sobbing, his body shaking and his arms holding Kenny tighter.
“You aren’t gonna lose me. We took him down last time, and if he ever tries anything then we can do it again.” Kenny said with confidence, giving his adopted brother a tighter embrace before loosening it.
“Alright, but the first suspicious thing, and I mean the very first, you tell me or dad.” He mumbled softly, hiding in the crook of Kenny’s neck.
“I promise.” The brunet smiled at him, allowing Devlin to somber up and release him, both standing and staring at each other awkwardly for a moment. “S-so we should probably get back to bed.”
“Y-yeah, don’t want Echo Echo to be all cranky when we get up.” Devlin agreed, backing away from Kenny to head to the bed they’d been sharing lately, pulling up the covers and backing into the wall to leave room for the smaller. The young hero nodded, urging himself to kill the heated feeling on his face and get under the covers. Between them laid the Sonorosian, the adopted brothers looking down at him as he seemed to smirk and get comfortable in his space. It was almost odd how they’d gotten so used to him being there, things would really be different once they found him a home. Then things would gradually return to normal, and they would have no reason to sleep in the same bed or be so close anymore.
The alien child rolled around a bit, both adoptive parents watching him. They didn’t want him to go. They’d gone and done what they knew they shouldn’t have; they got attatched to him.
“Think we’ll find him a home?” Kenny voiced his thoughts, wondering if Devlin had the same on his mind.
“Dunno, Ken…” The elder sighed inwardly and pulled the covers over his shoulder, making sure to leave room for the infants head to stick out. “But… I hope not…”
Smiling back at the elder, Kenny scooted closer, lightly drapping his arm over the baby. He didn’t want the baby to be taken away to some family he knew nothing about. Why couldn’t he just stay with them? After all, they did take in Devlin. So why not take in the infant too?
In the lab, Kevin continued to mope in his spot on the floor. Ben had left and gone to bed, trusting Kevin to do the same without hurting anyone. He sighed and leaned his head back, staring up at the darkness of the room. He didn’t know what to do. He’d been so terrible to his only child and now he resented it. Even if Kenny and Ben trusted him, hell even the Gwen’s did too, it didn’t mean that Devlin ever would again. And why would he? Kevin had hurt him in several different ways, he hated the way his son looked at him. But he hated it more when his son wouldn’t look at him. In his blue eyes he saw the hurt and discomfort, the way he would stand a little closer to Kenny, ready to attack his own father if he dared to get even an inch closer.
Kevin idly wondered if he would have acted the same around Ben if he’d taken the kid up on his offer to be a part of his family when they were just kids. But if he had, then maybe Devlin wouldn’t have been born. Kevin didn’t remember the woman much, it was just a one night thing and yet it gave him the only thing he now wanted to protect. A family.
Devlin had worked so hard to free him from the Null Void, and Kevin hurt him for being wise by telling him to go. If he had left then… Well, Devlin wouldn’t hate him, he wouldn’t be so eager to get away from him. But then he wouldn’t be the same Kevin he was now. He didn’t want to take Devlin from the home he had now. So he decided what he needed to do.
He got up from the floor, and left.
