~*~Beautiful~*~

Last night did not go how I thought it would.

After I told you…what happened, you didn’t do anything I thought you would; you didn’t throw me off of you, you didn’t call me a whore or a fag and stomp out, and you didn’t accuse me of lying.

You…stayed. All night.

I don’t know how we got on my bed; I fell asleep a few minutes after you started rubbing my back, telling me that it was okay and that I was strong for having told you.

I can’t tell you how safe you made me feel, and still do.

It’s kind of funny, actually; you were the first person I ever told about the Omnitrix, and now, you’re the first person I’ve told about the accident.

I bet you’d probably hit me if I said that out-loud.

“Ben,” you say softly, combing your fingers through my hair. “I know you’re awake.” I sigh, and tilt my head up so I can see you. I’m still on your chest, so I can hear your steady heart-beat.

I thought you were asleep, honestly.

“How’d you sleep?” you ask. “Any nightmares?” I shake my head ‘no’. You’re surprising me. This is a side of you I’ve only seen on ghostly occasions. This seems so…out of character.

I really hope you’re not pretending.

“What time is it?” I ask, trying to look at my alarm clock.

“Two P.M.,” you say casually. I shoot up into a sitting position to see for myself.

Sure enough, a bright green ‘2:00’ is flashing in my face.

“Damn it!” I shout, flopping on my back next to you. “I missed school! And I had a test today! Aww, man…” I can hear you chuckling next to me.

“Relax, Tennyson,” you say. “Your mom called the school, saying you were gonna be absent because of a ‘family emergency’,” A small yawn escapes you as you sit up. I follow, wondering if you’re planning to leave. You look at me with a frown on your face, and, for a second, I think that you’re mad at me.

“When was the last time you ate something?” you ask me. I don’t say anything for a while. When was the last time I ate?

“The other day, remember?” I say. “We all went to Mr. Smoothie.”

“No; Gwen and I ate, you had a sip of water and a stick of gum.” I frown.

“Oh, right…”

“Here’s a better question,” you say. “Do you want something to eat?”

“No, I’m not hungry.” You nod. I can tell you’re upset, but you’re sticking to what you said last night, about you not being here to force food down my throat.

You stand up and I panic. Are you leaving?

“Where are you going?” I ask.

“Work,” you answer. “I gotta be there in 30 minutes.”

“Take me with you.”

“I—you—what?”

“If I promise to eat something,” I say. “Will you take me with you?” You furrow your brow and look down.

“Ben…”

“Please?” Oh, god, don’t leave me here alone.

You sigh, look at me, and say “You promise to eat something?” I know I’m smiling as I nod my head ‘yes’ because you chuckle again. “Alright, hurry up and get ready.”

“Thanks, Kevin.”

“Hey, it’s what I do.” I roll my eyes, but don’t say anything as you step out of my room and close the door.

Today’s gonna be a good day.

I can feel it.
I figured since I left ya’ll with a sad ending last time that I’d send you off with a happier feeling! :D
