"Do You have any cleaning tools?" Ben asked as he stood in the hallway looking around for some sort of closet. Jeff sat on the couch resting his eyes. "I don't fucking know. I have a tool shed outside. That might have something." Jeff said as he didn't even look at the small boy. With a sigh Ben took a walk outside of the house. Jeff however watched as he did. He was staring to warm up but only a little bit. He still had the urge to kill him.
   After a couple of minuted Jeff heard a crashing of metal and others things hit the ground in the hallway. Jeff looked over to the hall and sat up. "You okay Ben?" Jeff asked as he walked over to the hallway and saw many cleaning materials on the ground. "Aww you care about me?" Ben said and smiled in a playful way. Jeff snickered and looked away. "Fuck no. If died right now I wouldn't care" Jeff stated and walked away back to the couch. This computer had ran out of battery's last night so he basically had nothing to do.
  Ben walked into the kitchen and walked over to the sink. He grabbed the handle and pulled it forward to see it did nothing. ". . . There is no running water in this house is there?" Ben said a bit defeat and looked at Jeff from the kitchen. "Well no duh." Jeff said and laid down on the couch. "How do you drink?! Also where do you. . . you know" Ben trailed his sentence off at the end. "There is a little stream behind my house and for that it's called nature" Jeff stated and yawned and got more tired. "Your gross, now give me your cloths." Ben stated as he walked back in the hallway and grabbed a bucket and scrubber thing off the ground. Jeff groaned and stood up and began to take off his jacket. Ben turned his head to the living room to see a shirtless Jeff who Then started to take off his pants as well. Ben felt heat rise up into his cheek and he quickly looked away. Ben felt Jeff cloths get thrown on him and he look one look back at Jeff to see he was a butt naked man.
  Ben quickly grabbed the cloths from his head and left the house without a word. Jeff walked upstairs to his room feeling a bit uncontrollable. With no cloths on he could feel the wind blow across places Jeff didn't want the wind to blow on. The quickly ran to his bed and got under his cold blankets. He shivered "I didn't think this through. . ." Jeff said as he put his head under the blankets.

    Soon the boy in green came back with a clean wet white jacket he had drained as much water as he could from it. Going to Jeff's porch he had placed the jacket in the sun over the old wooden railing. Ben looked around. "This place needs a lot of work" Ben decided to go clean his house while he waited for Jeff's cloths to dry.

   Upstairs however Jeff laid silent. Starring at the wall as his mind was blank.

Crash

Jeff sat up and looked by the door. "What was that!" Jeff shouted only to hear a scream from downstairs. Jeff quickly got up to notice he was still indeed naked. He looked around for a solution. Only finding the blanket on his bed able to cover his places. He quickly wrapped it around him waist before quickly going downstairs to see what was going on "Where's  the fire" Jeff looked around the living room to see it was. Spotless. Ever corner of the room seemed to spark as the light came in from the now non glass windows. Looking weirdly at his home he took his steps to the kitchen to find a Ben curled up in the corner with a pan. 
  "What are you doing" Jeff question, turning annoyed for the reason of him getting up for just a pussy shaking in a corner. "I-In the cabinet" Ben stated and looked over to a cabinet next to the non-working sink. Jeff looked over as well to see nothing. "What? Did you see a spider?" Jeff questioned and put his hand on his hip. "Of course not it's a -s- ss" Ben started to say however couldn't finish his sentence "Come on you got this!" Jeff teased him in a high voice. 

Ben only glared at him. "It's a snake!!" Ben exclaimed, as the naked man heard the cabinet creak a bit. He looked over to see a brown snake slowly emerging from its new home. "Oh he's pretty" Jeff went over and pick it up by the neck without hesitation, pulling it up the snakes tail went crazy leaving Ben to scream louder in fear. "He's so cute- look" Jeff only smirks and he walked closer to Ben. The kids eyes widened and he scooted as back against the wall as he could. "Ah stop please!!" Ben cried as he put the pan against his face. "He seems a bit hungry. Why don't I let him go and eat as he pleases" the man teased him again holding it closer. Ben had no where to go. With no electricity or computer he couldn't teleport to another area. He was stranded with only fear in his mind. "Stop P-please" Ben stated softly and teased up. Wanting to hug himself. "Oh well it can be helped." Jeff grabbed his knife and with one swift move he chopped off the snaked head with his knife, letting the snake fall to the floor. However for science reasons, even with the head other the body still wiggled around. 

Ben screamed and jumped over it onto Jeff only to start crying. "Ah what the hell get off of me kid!" Jeff tried to get the kid off however no matter just he did Ben didn't let go. Soon Jeff sighed in defeat, he picked up the now lifeless snake. "Look it's dead, now can you let go" he stated, Ben looked at it and started to calm down. "Out of everything why snakes?" Jeff question, look up as best as he could at the boy. "Out of everything why are you a dick! I don't know!" Ben argued and leaned down to glare at Jeff. "Oh thank god I'm doing my job" Jeff sighed as set the snake on the counter. Ben stayed attached as he felt Jeff's pale body. It made Ben shiver from how ice cold it was. Ben Soon hopped off of Jeff and quickly scrambled off out the front door. Jeff looked over confused however didn't care much about it. He looked around the kitchen to see it was pretty clean. The counters were all wiped off and the peeling tape was now all gone. It almost looked like a regular house. Jeff was starting to think he wasn't much of a pain after all. Of course he could live without him. And if he died he would give no fucks. However he started to realize he did enjoy the kids company. "H-here" Jeff heard Ben say from behind him. He turned around to the smaller boy to see him holding his clean, fresh cloths. The man took them and patted his head. "thanks kid" Jeff walked off. "I'm not a kid!"
   It had been a couple hours since the snake incident, and Jeff had been up in his room all day. It had turned dark so much of the house was unable to be seen. Not knowing what Ben had been up to since he never came up stairs today. He soon decided to check on the boy. Getting up from his comfy bed. He exited his room and down the small wooden stairs. "Ben?" Jeff said quietly getting off the last step. He looked around to hear silence. However soon he walking forward he could hear the slight sound of someone humming. He looked over toward the door and walked over to see if it was Ben or not. And it was, Leaning onto the door frame. Jeff watched as Ben sat on the old wooden fence. Kicking his legs back and forth as the wind pushed his hair back. Ben had still not noticed Jeff. And for him that was good. 
   He slowly sneaked up to the boy. Making sure his steps didn't cave to hard in with the wood to make a noise. Soon his stood right behind the him. Hearing his hums more clearly. It was kinda smoothing to Jeff's ears. He actually really enjoyed it. Shaking his head he went back to his original plan. Jeff lifted his hands, quickly placing one over Ben's eyes and one around his waist and arms to hold him still. Ben screamed and struggled a bit before calming down, he remember Jeff's cold touch so he wasn't to frightened. "Asshole you scared me!!" Ben struggled again as Jeff only laughed. "Come on let's get some sleep." Jeff said while carrying Ben back into the house. Ben was about to speak however. The way Jeff was holding Ben, made him freak out in his mind and his face heat up. Jeff Carried Ben upstairs in his cold arm and laid him on the bed as lightly as possible. "Why are you being so nice?" The boy asked and only turned away from, making his back face Jeff. "You've done a lot to day, so I assumed you must be tired. It is like four am." Jeff laid down next to him and put the blankets over. "night" He added as he closed his eyes. 

   It had been around 20 minutes and Jeff still couldn't sleep, neither could Ben. Jeff was just to tense and Ben was to caught up in his thoughts. "Hey" Jeff said, Ben jumped a bit not expecting the man to speak. "W-what is it" The boy replied and tensed up a bit, he looked over to Jeff he shifted around a bit and then laid onto his back. "Can you hum that song that you were humming outside?" Jeff finally said as he eyes were closed and his hand laid behind his head. Ben eyes widened, fiddling with his hand he gulped. "Okay" Ben then started to hum the song again, every once and awhile he'd get nervous and mess up a note. However Jeff found it peaceful soon fell to sleep.
