So I've done some nods in the og continuity with some headcanons, since the reboot has breeded gwevin ideas for me I might as well write up some headcanons before I produce fanart for themΒ :) So here I go
. Kevin has had some personal gripes he dares not to bring up from the past, so he pushed it onto Ben for all the things he had that Kevin lacked. When he met Gwen it seemed like he could care less but there was a uniqueness in her that he seemed to be drawn to, over time he seemed to wish for her calmer personality to focus on him for a change since he hated the aching loneliness that lingered deep inside his heart.
. He only sees her during a certain amount of times but she's made quite the impact to him where he views her and thinks about her during high stress moments to calm himself down, unfortunately being under work with the Forever Knight he exploited his weakness and wrapped it up as a threat if Kevin ever decided otherwise. He had to reluctantly accept such terms not only to be stronger than Ben but to ensure Gwen's sunshine personality would survive another day, if it were a different world he'd wish to be wrapped comfortably in her arms and soothed by her for a long time.
. The only seldom times he's been able to be near the Tennysons when he isn't fighting Ben is during specific down periods, he chooses this time to be near her but get some well needed rest. Most of the time he has very horrible nightmares in which he fails to protect Gwen from said threat that he was trying so hard to prevent, Gwen notices his whimpering and tries to relax him (which happens eventually)
. Even in some of his alien forms he tends to drop his guard if Gwen is nearby, if by her simple request he lets her sit up on his shoulder and give her the scenic route if need be. With Bashmouth when she's being carried by him she's very doting and assistive to Kev's needs, when she scratches and massages his ears it relaxes him greatly and has his dog like instincts kick in from her pampering (pretty sure Gwen's respectful to both Kevin and Bashmouth equally, if she's exhausted he lets her lay beside or on his back since fluffiness can be pretty soft and comfy.) Β
. Though he didn't show the same feelings during that moment because of Ben he was grateful to Gwen for getting him back to human, despite the stinging words his mind going blank and his body being in massive pain clung onto him in his dreams just as much as the other nightmares.
. Gwen noticed him mulling things over on the side of a grassy hill near the walkway she was on and decided to sit beside him, he was surprised but was more than elated that she wanted to spend time with him. After talking about things for a while he felt that he'd open up to her on some things, his vulnerability started to spill out of him as he choked tears over certain subjects he was afraid to share to her (she listens and understands that there's some things Kevin might want to keep to himself, she'd not want to pry and trigger something painful for him since he's already been hurt enough at this point)
. He wasn't sure how he had but he had collapsed to his knees and buried his head into Gwen's shirt as he began bawling his tears, while he cried he felt the soft touch of her hand wrap itself around his back as another gently stroked the back of his head. As time passed he let his body relax despite his tears continuing to flow from his sore eyes as exhaustion claimed him, Gwen noticed that he cried himself to sleep so she lightly dried his tears while positioning him in a comfortable position without waking him since he deserves something good after all the crap he's been going through
. After all the scary events had come to a close and his standing with Gwen was on a mutual standpoint she suggested they go on a few dates, so they go back to the carnival like area they were at (the one from Buggy Out) and try to enjoy some fun when being away from Ben. Gwen however felt nauseous which resulted in her asking Kevin if they could sit down for a while and as the type of boy that cared about her he nodded and led them to an empty bench, to relieve the pain he gently stroked her upset tummy for a while (until she had to run to the nearest trashcan, but it was a given to get rid of the toxins that were plaguing her) she returned to his side and tried to relax but felt bad that her mid morning illness was screwing up their date. He ensured her that derailments happen while telling her that they still have the rest of the day to enjoy all that the carnival has to offer to them both which made her perk up a soft smile towards to him, she lays her head beside him as she let herself take a nap to recover while Kev watched over her ensuring her comfort and safety as she would've done for him in return before joining her in her nap.
. Another of their dates was going back to the space camp which had some major fixes (despite some things being in the nearly fixed stage from the previous scuffle) but Kevin was feeling unsure at first but Gwen promised that things won't happen the same way as it happened that day, he blinked then nodded as he was dressed into the same blue spacesuit they had worn before as he followed her lead to the anti gravity simulation room. She kept by his side as the world around them was enveloped in darkness with only the stars being their main source of light, she enveloped her hand around his as they lightly drifted across the weightless void while a few moments later Gwen would feel comforted with the thought of sharing her first kiss with him (he was pretty surprised when she was the first to initiate it but it was probably the one of the best moments he'd have in his life so far, this tenderness lasted for a while until Ben interrupted souring the mood but Gwen ensured him that despite the abrupt conclusion that she had fun with him which he couldn't disagree with )
. When she's injured he tries to at least shield her and get her out of harms way as quickly as he can possibly manage, after addressing her wounds he probably uses rush to get her to her grandpa and Ben (because despite how he feels around him her safety and happiness takes precedence)
. Though him using hotshot with her involved seemed to be at the most problematic timing he transformed into him in hopes that he can show that he wouldn't be as volatile as before, he lifted his open pyronite palm near her that she eventually touched with her own (because if she can easily touch Ben's heatblast with a fist bump then surely Kevin's hotshot could be touched with her palm albeit for a short time.)
. Sometimes Gwen lets Kevin rest on her lap when the day is pretty calm and there isn't a ton of problems afoot, plus it's pretty easy to catch up on a good book while the other party is taking a pleasant nap
. Sometimes crafting gifts from your abilities are a nice thing to have, Crystal Fist definitely would create roses for Gwen (despite not being yellow) since Kevin thinks it'd be a nice surprise to show her (it was odd at first but she appreciates the gesture)
. Gwen likes to have little slow dances so the recent event while her family head towards them was exciting, since Kevin seemed pretty lonely she asked him to have a dance with her which he pleasantly obliged as they danced gracefully (with some practice) to one of her favorite songs at that event.
. Certainly Kevin had a new nemesis in Gwen but it wasn't in the normal sense, she was a rival to his heart considering that she had stolen it (he intends to let her keep it)
Now from my friend @seizerofdarkness I have added some small headcanons for the what if scenarios of Gwen 10 and Kevin (for their matching alien dates, which would be cute and some silly XD)
. Everyone has their big tall boyfriend carting them around but its a complete game changer for two drastically different sized galvans, Ben discovers Dark Matter wearing some sort of tux since Gwen thought he'd look nice in it and before Ben could make some joking retort Kevin told him not to even make one peep about it.
. Overflow and Undertow have a small diving trip through the ocean on a bit of a vacation at the beach, they had a fun time but Gwen had to take lead so the muddy water wouldn't harm the aquatic life (plus they need to surface sometime soon since they're both human and the watches can't keep them like that forever)
. While being as Rath, Gwen started to squabble to Kevin that despite if he looks cute or not that she would not be a pushover in the fight which wasn't a problem to him since he enjoys a difficult battle before changing into Bashmouth (plus he likes her savage like nature, the scene that was caused though sent a ton of mixed signals since they were acting too personal to one another)
. Gwen suggested a nice picnic area that she and Kev would escape to so they went along with it, after setting up everything carefully they changed into Fourarms and Quadsmack respectively. Devouring the pre-made lunch is one thing but keeping the food together is another, during that time Gwen mentions his interesting feats in her battles with him which earns her a small pat on the head for her compliment. (They even think about doing some sparring later if the mood is present)
. Whenever Hotshot is present, Gwen as Heatblast plays around and jokes about his name while giving a little wink despite his irked look. He thinks over something then goes about to prank her back for such, but it's all in good fun anyways since it isn't going to hurt anyone.
. Gwen and Kevin decided to enjoy a leisurely little race (in the unconventional method as Xlr8 and Rush) since the wind briskly passing beside them is a pretty thrilling feeling, though Gwen has to keep track of Kev so he doesn't trip over something by accident and hurt himself (if he does then she'd tend to him once he changes back to normal)
. Sometimes people like to reenact a little bit of bowling and what better forms to have then to be Cannonbolt and Wreckingbolt, all Gwen asks of Kev is to not be too rough as he bumps her forward to hit the pins (likewise that she bumps him with some force when he's the one to hit the pins, he just needs to mind not scraping them with his spikes)
That's about as much as I can add to this with my current headcanons, might update if I have more thoughts but I think this is a nice amount at this point ^^
