Disclaimer: I do not own Ben 10, or Ben 10: Alien Force. Man of Action does.

This is the first part of a four part series with Ben and Kevin. I've read so many BeVin fan fics and love them, so thought i'd try my hand at it. I tried to go more realistic (i understand wanting to go realistic with cartoon characters). Please leave comments and reviews, I want to know what you guys think!

Waiting

Ben was so nervous, he couldn't stop fidgeting with the Omnitrix. It was a big moment for him, he was finally going to confess his feelings to Kevin after waiting for so long.

He had a huge pit in his stomach that felt empty. The waiting was killing him. Ben checked the clock on his phone, "12:47pm." He asked Kevin to meet him at Mr. Smoothy at 12:30. How typical of Kevin to be late, like he was for everything.

But Ben didn't mind waiting, he was still going through everything in his head. He was surprised at himself for having enough courage to ask Kevin to meet him, and to be able to confess his feelings. Even though Kevin is dating his cousin.

There were so many things rolling around in Ben's head, "What will he say?" "Will he make fun of me?" "Will he want to talk to me ever again?"

"Don't psych yourself out!" Ben thought to himself. "All you need to do is tell Kevin, and if he rejects you, then go live in a cave for the rest of your life."

He was being a bit over-dramatic, but this was important to Ben. He had fallen for Kevin when they were just kids, and hasn't stopped thinking about him since. After Kevin re-appeared in Ben's life, he was ecstatic.

But when Kevin started putting the moves on Gwen, Ben's heart hurt every time the 3 of them were together. Kevin's obvious flirting with Gwen wouldn't have hurt so much if he didn't do it every time Ben was around.

But Ben put on a brave face and continued forward.

While waiting, Ben was reminiscing all of the good times he's spent with Kevin. Staying up late to help him work on "his ride," fighting bad guys back to back, and just hanging out at Mr. Smoothy.

These memories made Ben smile, but upset him at the same time. He was upset because he knew that after he told Kevin the truth things would never be the same again. They wouldn't be able to just hang out without a weird, uncomfortable feeling looming between the two of them.

Ben thought for a minute. Did he really want to ruin the great friendship he has with Kevin, just to tell him how much he loved him? Would be worth it?

Ben knew the right answer. If he lied to Kevin anymore, he felt like he was lying to himself, about his feelings, and who he was. It was good timing too, because Ben saw Kevin's car pull up into the busy parking lot.
