Hanging from the edge of a catwalk, praying his best friend would get here in time, was more nerve wracking than developing a machine for time travel. There was a reason Mandy was in charge and Dexter funded everything from the shadows, and Ben was determined to figure it out. With the Omnitrix, he could become someone he wasn't, but it still couldn't mask the pain of their fiery break-up. Sitting outside his hospital room for hours at a time was one of the hardest things he would do in his young life.
He was always getting schooled by Dexter in topics that he never cared to learn about, but learning how to shoot a Null-Void pistol was something he would never mind being taught again.Īs Jetray, he could break the sound barrier as Ben, he could break Dexter's concentration - both feats deserved fanfare. It was easy to see that Fuse only had one true target, one that Ben swore to always protect.Īfter counting to one thousand, he slipped back in the room, both he and his lover much calmer than before.Įddy may have named himself King of the Cul-de-Sac, but there was only one true royal man in the war, and he was the one leading them to victory, Dexter privately thought to himself. Their first kiss was subtle, simple, only lasting that one second the one that followed was the complete opposite. He knew he hurt Blossom the day he kissed Ben, but he couldn't blame his heart for finally making a decision. Six years later, the last bit of Fusion Matter was destroyed the day after, Ben finally let go of his fallen lover. They were just teenagers, both having only began their lives, and now they spent everyday risking themselves so that others could one day have a chance at normal lives. "What about freezing them," Ben said one afternoon as Dexter growled about his latest failed attempt to stop the Fusion Matter. Their relationship progressed so rapidly from annoyed acquaintances to passionate lovers that Bubble's belief of them being a true modern-day fairy tale was entirely possible - even if Dexter said it wasn't a plausible analysis. Thank you both! (And I truly mean that ignore my sarcasm) I blame them for both the friendship and the romance. So! I got a lot of inspiration for this from lightning bird and thunder-fish on. Warning: Some mentions of violence, some kissing? Really, it's all pretty vanilla. Fandom: Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall
