This is a yaoi fic, so in case you do not like just go away.

Btw, I do not own ben 10 or any of the characters in this fic.

It was a late winter night, one to be remembered for its cold. The house, build for warmth, was freezing, and the one suffering the most was the teenager that lived there. His room was the coldest of the house, what usually didn't bother him, especially on the summer, but today it was impossible. He was using warm clothes and had two covers but still could not sleep. As he stared on the ceiling with his big green eyes he started to think of random stuff, like his powers, all the aliens he might still became, all the villains he fought, his friends, his family, Gwen and Kevin.

But when Ben started to think of Kevin a wave of warmth came over his body. He started to remember how they met, how they fought, how he sent the boy to intergalactic jail, how they met many, many times again, how they became allies and finally how they became friends. Ben left out a loud yawn as he thought how funny things turned out. He had a crush for Kevin so long and now Gwen was the one about to date him.

Ben's room was still cold, but he was very warm and cosy. Soon before falling deep in sleep he wondered why didn't he think of Kevin before, instead of suffering from the cold. He slept easy that night, as he dreamed of him and Kevin in the same car. Kevin would smile at him here and then, and Ben would blush a little. At last, Kevin reached for his hand and Ben turned to smile back at him but his vision was covered by his red hair, that he quickly put behind his ear. But wait, red hair? Confused, he looked at the mirror but what he saw wasn't his reflection, it was Gwen!

- AAHH! – A loud sound of "thump" was heard around the house as Ben fell in the floor.

- Ben? You ok honey? - His mother shouted from the kitchen as she heard the noisy and got worried.

- Yeah, I'm ok mom. – He replied loudly, getting up and running to the mirror to check if he was him still. With a sigh of relief he went back to bed, he was still him. But he was also sad, even in his dreams the only chance he had with Kevin was if he were Gwen. Still, he now had an incredible urge to go see the boy….and of a shower, cus he sweated so much last night he was smelling rather bad.

- Sorry Gwen, today I have to fix my car. Maybe next time. Yeah, that's fine. 'Kay, later. – Kevin hanged up and gave a big sigh, Gwen was being very annoying later, always trying to do stuff together, always wanting to go out, never understanding his need for his time with his baby (his car).

He tossed his phone aside and went to get changed, he just came out of the shower after having a nice and late breakfast, since he woke up past mid-day. As he opened his wardrobe he decided to put something old so as not to get his good clothes dirty. He picked up a white, sleeveless shirt that had some holes on it and an old beat up jeans, which, for some forgotten reasons, didn't have half of the left leg.

Glad that no one was going to see him in that state he went to the garage and, after turning the lights on, he stared happy and proud at his car. Nowhere in the city, in the country maybe, would someone find a car as well taken care as his. The perfect paint job, the most modern gadgets, the most pine fresh smell and the most beautiful green colour. How Kevin liked that colour, colour of his favourites pair of eyes. But enough standing around, he thought to himself, time to work.

The sun was close to set and finally Ben was free to go see Kevin. He wanted to go earlier but so much happened that day! His mother asked for help with the groceries, his father wanted help to wash the car, then Gwen came to keep talking about how much Kevin was helpful at saving the world and how much he changed, but that he could spend less time with his car and finally Julie came around to talk.

Ben breathed in deeply to calm himself and then walked in the garage where Kevin's mother said he would be. As he walked in he looked around but saw nothing except the car. He walked around it just to find at the other side a pair of leg coming out of underneath it, curiously the right one was covered by jeans but the left one was mostly exposed and you could see clearly that it hadn't been on purpose, but never mind that.

- Hey Kevin. – Ben said as he noticed he hasn't been noticed.

- Ben? – Before Ben could replied a loud bang was heard and the car shook as Kevin, surprised, hit his head in his car. He was so focused on it he didn't even noticed Ben there. He came out and sat on the floor, rubbing his aching forehead. – When did you come in?

- About now. Man, that looks like it hurt a lot. Want me to call Gwen to kiss it better? – Ben asked with a laugh, although, if Kevin were to ask, he would be more than happy to kiss it better himself.

- Very funny Tennyson. – Kevin replied as he got up, hitting his pants to take the dirt off. Ben drift off for a while as he stared at the boy. He was so sexy, even in such beat up clothes. His perfect arms exposed, some of his chest visible by the holes, his legs completely marked by the tight jeans. – Ben, hello, earth calling you. – Kevin said shaking his hand in front of the boy that snapped out of it right away.

- Oh, sorry, did you say something? – Ben said, try to get his composure back.

- Yeah, I asked what you doing here?

-Oh, right, I was just passing around here and decided to drop by. – Ben said with a nervous smile, but as he left eye twitched Kevin stared at him suspiciously, he wondered why Ben was lying. – Hey, you got some dirt on your shoulder.

Kevin looked at his shoulder and found a big black spot of grease, he turned to get a cloth to wipe it away and decided to change the subject. – Yeah, it's normal that I get dirt when I work in my car. I think if you didn't show up I might have stayed here till tomorrow. – Then he turned to Ben. – Wanna go for a spin? I need to drive at least a bit before the day is over.

- Oh, sure, let's go. – Ben said with a huge grin.

- Cool, let me just get changed. – He took his shirt off and smelled himself. – Actually, I'll take a shower and then I'll go for a spin. You can wait in my room if want – He said turning to Ben again, who looked out of this world again, and slightly pink, but he soon snapped back.

- Oh, no thanks! I'm ok here. – Ben said casually, he didn't want to be in the same as a Kevin wearing only a towel, or drying his hair with a towel as he wears nothing, cus he knew he would not have the strength to hold himself back.

- Suit yourself. Here something to keep you company. – Kevin said with a smirk as he tossed his dirt shirt to Ben, who moved and let if fall in he floor.

- Gross Kevin, who do you think I am, Gwen? – He said angrily as Kevin went away laughing his ass off. As soon as the raven was far Ben picked up the shirt as sniffed it, the smell of the one he wanted but could not have, he gave a sad sigh as he let the shirt fall back on the floor.

Two hours later, the green car was speeding of in a pretty much abandoned road, It was a busy road at day but it was pretty deserted at night.

- Hey Kev, where are we going again? – Ben asked, already used to Kevin speed, he played with a empty bottle of Mr. Smoothies in his hand.

-Nowhere. I just like to drive in this road cus I can drive as fast as I want. - Even though he said that, Kevin stopped behind a big boulder not too far from the road. – Here we are.

- And where is here? – Ben asked puzzled.

- I told you, Nowhere. I just like to come here after a drive and stare at the star a little. Do you mind?

- Oh, not at all. – Ben said, putting the empty cup at his feet.

The two boys sat there in the silence, that, even though it looked awkward, it was nice and comfortable. But the moment was sure ruined when Kevin phone went off, Gwen, of course, was calling. He rejected the call.

- Sorry.

- For what? – Ben asked, a little puzzled.

- Dunno, just felt like I had to apologise. – Kevin said looking forward.

- Why didn't you answer it? She might get angry. Did you guys have a fight? – Ben asked hoping that the answer was yes, even though he knew it was wrong.

- I like her and we did not have a fight. But… - Kevin hesitated for a while.

- But what? – Ben couldn't even imagine what would be his answer but he was hoping it would be something like "I like someone else even more".

- Look, it's just that I'm here with you now, you see? – Kevin blushed a little, surprising. – It just kinda fell like it would be wrong to answer ok? – He said angrily, Kevin hated to be real with his emotions. - I'm going to pee! – He said and stormed out of the car before Ben could say anything.

Ben stayed in the car, silent, trying to process everything. So, what they were having was a moment. Was that a date then? Was Kevin trying to show Ben some of his feelings? No, that was impossible, Ben thought with a sad smile as he shook his head, trying to keep away those delightful but dreamy thoughts. Kevin got back in the car Ben turned to him but could only say one thing. – You got some dirt on your face. – He said with a chuckle.

Kevin rubbed his face and looked at Ben, as if to know if it was gone, but the brunette just shook his head negatively, so Kevin tried again, but Ben still replied no, on the third try, and the third fail, Kevin exploded. – Fine, get it off me then if it bothers you so much!

- Ok, chill! – Ben replied angry as well, he put his hand on the raven's cheek and started to rub roughly but when their eyes met Ben started to do it a little more careful, gently. They started to breath heavily, Kevin leaned forward a little and Ben did the same. As they got closer to each other, they shut their eyes, now so close they could fell the hot breath coming out of the other mouth. Ben's top lip was about to touch Kevin as his phone went off and both of them jumped, Kevin jumped so high he actually hit his head and let out a loud "ow!"

Ben nervously looked for his phone and awkwardly answered it without even looking at the screen, his heart pounding so hard that he thought he would have a heart attack soon. – Hello? – He said as he answered, trying not to show he was nervous. It was his mother. – Hey mom. No, I'm ok. Yeah, oh, ok. Sure. I'll be there soon. Yeah. Love you too. Bye. – As he hung up Kevin was already on the road again, driving faster than before. Holding his phone between his legs, Ben kept staring down as he was too embarrassed to even look up at Kevin. And he stayed that way till he reached home, as Kevin didn't say a word either.

Now it was very late at night, but not as cold as last night. Already under the covers, Ben kept thinking about everything that happened during the day and wondered if he should go see Kevin in the morning. When Kevin arrived at his house he was still far too embarrassed to look at him or even speak. And so was Kevin as for the next ten minutes neither exchanged a word. In the end Ben got out of the car without saying anything, not even good bye, and Kevin drove away in silence.

Without realising that he had actually fallen asleep, Ben woke up with something falling on top of him. He opened his eyes wide in surprise, just to find himself having his mouth shut by Kevin's hand and the raven making a be quiet sign.

- Shh…it's ok Tennyson. I just came here cus I forgot to say something. – Kevin leaned forward and whispered in Ben's ear something that made the boy's eyes go wide, and then the raven got his hand out of the way and kissed the brunette. The kiss that they both been longing for. Even though Kevin had a passionate kiss it was actually very caring too, his mouth had a taste far sweeter than Ben ever imagined, and their tongues danced around each other in harmony like they've been doing this since ever. – See you tomorrow. – Kevin said with a smile, going for the window where he came from.

As the raven was ready to jump out of the house and go back to his house, something grabbed his arm tight, and he turned around to meet green eyes shining with happiness. – You know Kev, the room is very cold. Why don't you sleep here today so I don't get a cold? – Ben said with a naughty smile.

- Well, if you put it this way…. – Kevin said with a smirk as he kissed Ben again and both dropped back in the bed.

Next time: Ben and Kevin lives a nice and secret romance, but everything is about to change as Ben's parents are getting suspicious of the Green car that is always near their house in the morning.
