Thread: Gwen Comes Home (simple & malin)

Ben winced slightly when Gwen corrected his mistake, he hadn't even noticed when he had started referring to grandpa by name. Maybe it was because he didn't feel like he got to see the old man nearly as often as he would have liked. Rather it felt like there was a new divide between the family that started around the time that Gwen and Kevin had gone off solo. I can admit your powers have improved all you want, but it's still not cooler then this. He said showing her the newest version of the omnitrix the white and green wrist watch, that was permanently stuck to his DNA. That and when you go solo as Lucky girl bad things tend to happen to everyone else. I know Grandpa is just trying to look out for me, and I know it seems impossible but Rook is way worse then you. You I can get to laugh I don't think I have even seen Rook so much as chuckle. Ben said continuing his irate talk about his new partner. It wasn't that Rook wasn't friend he was just a little more stern then Ben liked to have around. Ben was very in the moment and didn't like to focus on elaborate plans, Rook on the other hand was a by the book stern Plumber. The two worked well enough together that they hadn't clashed terribly, but it was always difficult working with someone who's ideas always seemed to clash with his own, especially when that person takes to rubbing the number of times he had saved Ben's life in his face. Climbing into the back of the taxi with Gwen he was quick to give his address and sit back, buckling up. I don't know why you would have to dye your hair, Girls are weird with that kind of stuff. I just always thought it was odd that your color changed, and I never asked till now okay? He said lightly looking out his window, he was already starting to regret all the joy and optimism he had about Gwen coming back for some reason it seemed like they had been alone 10 minutes and some kind of fight was already starting to break out over Hair color, and driving.... He smiled shaking his head and blushing slightly he really wouldn't have had this any other way. That and I always kind of missed the bright orange. He said more silently to himself as he looked out the window of the taxi. I do miss the Rust Bucket maybe if one of usu learns to drive grandpa would let use get a new one. He said lightly reminiscing on some of the good times they had with the old R.V. Shaking his head slightly the taxi ride didn't last all that long as they eventually got out at his apartment building. He had moved in a while ago thanks to the paycheck he got working with the plumbers, eventually he had to start living on his own, and this place was actually nice. Stepping into the lobby he led Gwen into the elevator and up to the 24th floor, where his apartment was. The truth was he hardly lived in the place, but that also meant he hardly cleaned it either. and hey for the moment Rook can always drive. He said admitting that his partner had some use. Walking into the place it was rather apparent that Ben wasn't taking care of his home. There was a sink full of dirty dishes in the kitchen, the fridge had things in it that looked like they had been there since the dawn of time, he was quick to close the door to his bedroom so that she didn't have to see the clothing he had left just laying around on the ground. The living room hadn't been vacuumed, and there was another of other problems. Ben blushed slightly knowing that Gwen was going to chew him out for this kind of living. I uh wasn't expecting guests. He said slightly embarrassed by the state of everything. Even the couch he had offered to Gwen was slightly messy with the covers in disorder, and everything was due for a good dusting.
