Posted both chapters in this one XD figured I'd get it over with because they were both small. Will be working on the second part soon :)

Chapter fourteen

-Oh, dear, did I do something I shouldn't? Well, I'll shoulder the blame if you silence your mouth, but that isn't to happen, right?-

Ben's mind was blacking out as he licked his lips breathing heavily when Kevin finally pulled away from him. He was not sure what was going on because of the sudden violence then the sexual tension that was exerted in the kiss. Ben looked up at Kevin's dazed eyes focusing in and out on him before the other seemed to focus less rolling off unsure where he was once more. Ben's heart plunged realizing the other might not have known what he was doing. The thought of it was hurting Ben's heart.

Ben moved gripping Kevin's hand. Why did he feel so attached to the other so much? He didn't understand this very much but it didn't seem to be just him that was attached to each other. Kevin's skin was prickling with raised hairs. The dark coal black eyes looked back at him now so focused, so wanting, so happy, yet there was fear there at the same time. Ben was worried why before Gwen's face flashed in his eyes.

It was strange. Ben got along well, alright on some levels, with her but right now he felt such fury. He realized that Kevin was 'straight' but the other had acknowledged that he could have been something different just now. Ben just looked at Kevin's eyes.

"Ben... I... I'm so-."

Memories of Gwen again resurfaced, painful and scab scraping away what was poorly healed over, before Ben slapped Kevin's hand away, "WHY! You love her don't you!"

Kevin's eyes were bright with shocked tears and he nodded fighting the need to slip back under the haze of this drug he was on. He lowered his head hating to see the other seeming to be in some sort of suffering from this. It wasn't like Kevin meant the kiss. They never would be.

Albedo smiled before he sighed, "And here is the root of all my hard work falling into place. A macho man like Kevin would never accept what I, or your father, Luke, turned Ben into." Albedo twirled the knife he pulled from under the tabled Luke was strapped to. "Goodbye."

"Don't!" Luke hissed though grateful he wasn't harmed.

Kevin couldn't dodge the fist that slammed into his face. His eyes closed in pain before he looked up noticing the haggard look Ben now excluded. IT was beyond anything Kevin could explain. The sudden flicker from the calm, understanding, shy, and wanting acceptance Ben he had come to enjoy the company of... start to feel the unforgettable desire of love for, the brotherly love of course his mind tried to lie to his heart. Then there stood this Benjamin Tennyson whose eyes were wide one hand across his body out a few inches from the punch still fisted. The other hand gripped through his hair.

The scream sent every muscle in Kevin's body aflame. Kevin's mouth watered, tears falling from his eyes, as he watched Ben's short nails trail down his face dragging over his skin clawing at it tell it was bleeding. Ben didn't even flinch.

"Ben!" Kevin tried to scramble to the other side but a shot to his side from his fallen gun had him blinking. Kevin fell chest to the floor before he turned, "A...Albe..."

"Thank you, Kevin. I had thought Ben would fall in love with Luke, I was so willing to kill my own brother." Albedo dropped down pulling Kevin's neck to the side jabbing a needle into Kevin's neck, "But you, to know that Ben liked you before and now makes me laugh. You shouldn't be so homophobic, Kevin, because thanks to you..." Albedo looked up, "You helped me finish creating my monster."

"Ben..." Kevin's eyes rolled into the back of his head his blood on fire from the injection.

Chapter Fifteen

-Regret, remorse, redemption. I demand nothing of this but bloodshed and the thought of murder. I am nothing, you love me though I am nothing? Maybe just a bit longer in this hell then you'll be my white night in this crimson castle.-

Kevin's eyes were facing the window at the hospital he was in. His eyes were shadowed with self-doubts and disgust. He had learned so much the last few days that he never wanted to learn in his whole life. His views of the word turned up and scattered in an explosion. Kevin only knew that the one good thing in his life as a child had been returned and he had a chance to make things right. To be happy with Ben.

Then it happened. Ben's mental state had shattered. It was because the one person who he loved was with the person who made Ben's life a living hell. Had... had caused Ben to be raped. Gwen.

Who was gone when learning this was her fault. Kevin wasn't sure what to say to this but he felt the eyes and the disgusted looks. As if his desire for a friendship that was lost, from actions of the parents, grandparents... Kevin turned to look at Luke who walked in. The other looked like hell but it was not as terrible as before.

"You'll be released soon once we're sure the drug is out of your system." Luke sat down, "We found Albedo's body mutilated in the next town." Luke looked away from Kevin, "He wrote a few things down that I... was hoping you would understand better than I. Or if it is Albedo not Ben."

"What?"

"A vendetta: I'm finished. I'm over. This is the end, no more games, no more fun. You left me for dead, you let him take me again. I never was worth the time so I'll take the time I lost because of you all." Luke took a breath, "We think its Ben who left the message."

"No, Ben didn't write this, he wouldn't have... There's something you should know about Ben that I don't think his family understood." Kevin shifted the leashes around his body, the cuffs tightening, "Ben's smart, not just average smart, but he never wanted to apply it. Ben's smart and I helped break him like his family did who abandoned him. They had every chance to get him back. They had every chance to save him, but they didn't because Ben was 'dumb' in their eyes." Kevin growled, "I want to help find him."

"And not find Gwen?"

"No, I was a fool to think she came here willingly to see Ben. She hardly ever came and to know now she could every single time I asked but she refused...I just am sorry I fell for the 'Tennyson' charm." Kevin lowered his head.

"Get some rest, Kevin. When this is over we will either have Ben in cuffs or on a body bag. As much as I hate the thought the kid ... I don't think we can save him."

"Don't give up hope, cop'a." Kevin's eyes drooped, "Ben will... get sane again... we'll...find him..."
