10 x Infinity | Ben Tennyson x Reader | Book 2

Episode 33: In Charm's Way

A/N: the way I'm literally writing 3 books at once and they're all Ben 10 related...I think I have a problem.

Anyway, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Dropping this early because I'm ✨festive✨

I did my best, but this is like only half proofread.

"Since when did the cracks start forming on my legs...?" I sigh, examining myself in the mirror. They're starting to form basically everywhere on my body. And today we're going to the beach, I glance at the specifically green swimsuit on my body and groan. At least stretch marks are normal to the human but, but green glowing cracks? I sigh deeply, "Maybe I should wear something-"

"...Hey, looking hot."

"AH! BENJI!" I screech, whipping my head around to see Ben (who's Big Chill) phasing through my ceiling. He grins mischievously, "Whaaaat? I'm just complimenting my totally hot girlfriend~" He says. "How long have you even been there?" I ask, blushing deeply. Ben giggles, "Long enough to see more than just your legs. Don't worry, I think everything about you is hot." Ben phases fully through the ceiling, plopping on my bed before he turns back into himself. "Seriously, N/N. You've got nothing to worry about. Those cracks aren't even that noticeable—only if someone looks at them for a long time. And the only person that should be looking at them for a long time is me and you already know how I feel about them~," He says, wiggling his eyes brows. Ben's tone shifts as he looks away, "What we should worry about is the fact that more cracks are appearing than before..."

Ben's eyes are briefly serious before he relaxes, he snickers and pokes my noses,
"Otherwise, your body 10/10! I wish we were older so you'd finally let me su-" "Ah, let's not finish that sentence, Benji." I snort, covering his mouth with my hand. Ben shrugs, he shifts and lightly kisses my hand. "Fiiiiine, you already know what I wanted to say anyway. Do you feel any better?" He asks, eyes softening into concern. I pat his cheek, "Yes, Benji." I chuckle. Ben hums proudly, leaning into my touch. He glances at the clock on my nightstand, I snort knowingly.

"Wanna make out real quick?"
"Duh."

Kevin grunts when a volleyball smacks him in the face, "Hey, can we have our ball back?" A kid asks, running up to us. "Sure, kid." Kevin picks the ball up before his pops the ball with his fist. The two kids deflate just like their ball, "Here you go." Kevin harshly tosses the flatten ball to them. They quietly walk off, Ben sits up, "Nice, Kevin. What next, kicking puppies?" He teases. Kevin rolls his eyes, "This little outing was your idea. And it was her idea to drag me along." Kevin gestures to me and Ben respectively. "And I came. So just lay there and work on your Ben Tan." He grumbles.

"Ok, I'll tan and you lighten up." Ben says with an unwavering grin. "No one's the boss of me, Tennyson. Remember that." Kevin scoff. I open my mouth to deny that fact, especially considering he came because I told him to come—Kevin chucks sand in my direction, getting it on my mouth. I gag and start spitting sand out in a disgust, "Next time I'm kicking you in the ocean." Kevin warns, I gasp, latching onto Ben. "Evil," I hiss, Ben gently pats my head, "Please, lighten up, Kevin." Gwen says softly. "Ok, Gwen." Kevin says with a sweet tone, Ben and I snicker.

Kevin glares at us, "What? What are you thinking?" He asks "I'm not thinking anything." Ben says "All my thoughts are related to Benji's swimsuit." I add. "I can vouch for that." Gwen snorts, "Hey, anybody want to get me a bottle of water?" She asks. I don't move, Ben and Kevin glance at each other, "Rock, paper, scissors?" Ben suggest, the two start, but the sounds of screams causes everyone to stand up. A glowing rock monster emerges out of the water, "Looks like rock wins." I mumble...
