Who knew hearing his name, at least spoken like this, could actually sound kinda good? Sheesh...sounds and feels like Rook was trying to seduce him. There's no way though, right? He couldn't possibly be trying to flirt with him. Rook is just a bit dense. That's all! +
But there was another type of pressure that Ben could feel against his body.
Different from the rest, lower and more... focused.
"I mean... You are Benjamin Tennyson."
He whispered his name chuckling a bit, with the same grade of affection as ever.
force his way through the crowd of people. Damn, he's this popular?! Surely it isn't him then, he's just probably got a boyfriend or girlfriend here and that's what it was!
Just gonna wait for him to finish up and grumpily get a drink. Tch. ๐ข
"Excellent. Thanks sweetheart!"
Blowing a kiss over his shoulder as he runs off, heading in the direction of the arcade. Someone is getting found out today, whether they like it or not. It's gonna be someone from his group of suspects (unless it really was someone else) +
โIf heโs still in the arcade then heโs probably got a crowd of people around him, a lot of people like to watch him play cause of how crazy good he is.โ
The winged man said as he continues to play.
and he'd play detective all day until he got the information. Even into the night if it was necessary.
A little while later, he does in fact, find Tsuyoshi at the arcade surrounded by a crowd. He can't really get a good view of what he's doing, trying and failing to +
"Well I'm sure not blonde and I can be muscular- in some of my alien forms, but not all the time. So that's safe to write them off..."
Good to know. More boys to write off. He'll get this. "Off to find Tsuyoshi then."
Jiyushi thinks for a moment before shaking his head.
โNah. Your not Akihikoโs or Rins types. Aki prefers blonde brats while Rin prefers muscular tops.โ
Being pulled so close, hearing something like that, feeling Rook's body? Gosh, it's all enough to make him blush a dark scarlet upon realization of what he said.
"H-Huh?! I can't just...have kids on my own, Rook! I gotta have a partner in order to do that and..." +
His partner smiled even more, grabbing his waist and pulling him closer in a gesture of affection, not realising how that could've been interpreted.
"Mhh if you feel like that...
Why don't you try having some children again?
Perhaps you'll feel a bit better."
"Huh...alrighty then. Guess I'll go look for them. Thanks for your help, handsome." He plants a kiss on his forehead and steps back, prepared to walk away, when he paused.
"...You don't think any of your other antisocial siblings could've been the one behind this, right? +
โA note..? Well that eliminates daiki, while heโs a massive nerd he also hates the complexity of confessing through a note. Tsuโs probably at the local arcade and Aokiโs probably at the local skate park.โ
out one way or another, leaning over the other's shoulder. "I gotta figure out which of your siblings wants me so bad they'd leave a note but not say it to my face!"
So those three are the ones...gosh, it's gonna be hard to figure out which one is the real culprit behind this note. Geez. How's he gonna figure this out?
"Really now? That's interesting...any clue where they're all at so I can speak with each of them?" Gotta figure this +
His green hues falter, lowering back down to his hand before the hologram fades away, Omnitrix returning back to standby position as he sighs.
"Maybe it's just because I'm sensitive or something, but I'm plenty close to all the kids I have." And he loves them all so much.
"Uh, wow, really? Interesting.
I love my parents but I wouldn't say we have a super special bond. They can be unreasonable way too easily..."
Honestly, he's barely been home that much. He loves them but saying they're close would be a stretch too. +
He looked at him with his feline eyes.
"Mhh It could be, but I believe that's just a part of the story...
I read that you humans have a very special bonds with your species' children.
Uncommon in most cultures."
Oh. That's rather- flustering. He wasn't prepared for Rook to do that of all things. Felt really nice...
"Ehehehe...you really think so? I'm glad. Honestly I think I started getting like this more when Big Chill first had kids. Been effecting me for a few years..."
A slight blush appeared on his cheeks as he smiled back at him, and gently held his hand.
"Mhh...*
He couldn't resist, leaning towards him to give his forehead a peck with his lips.
A soft smile over his face.
"You are so maternal...
I love this side of you."
Such a relief to know that Rook will always be there... they're partners through and through. His best pal until the end of time, no matter when and where they are.
Looking up at him oh so sweetly while holding the DNA, flashing that adorable smile of his. +
That is why even after all the bickering, all the angry moments Rook will always be at his side.
He can see it in his eyes, such a deep love and desire to see everyone happy around him.
That's what makes him the hero of the universe, and the best mate one could choose.
