"I- I don't ever want to see you again!"

"That's fine my be!"

I watch as Jane storms off, tears streaming down her cheeks, heels clicking angrily against the tiled floor of the school's hall.

'God, what the Hell is her problem? Whatever! She can be that way, I'm done with her!' I huff and stomp off in the opposite direction.

I'm already late for class and I am so angry I don't want to go. Jane will go to work, pretending everything is fine. I storm past the closed door of Ben's office, not thinking of going in and disturbing his only free hour. But I can feel the tears welling in my own eyes, and there is no way I am going to let anyone but him see me cry.

I take the short few steps back and open his door quietly. He's at his desk, head resting on his crossed arms on the top.

"Ben?" I close the door behind me.

"Billy?" He raises his head, looks at me and immediately I see he understands, "What happened?"

I can feel the hot tears streaking down my face even before I get the words out.

"I had a fight with Jane...I-I think it might be serious t-this time..."

"Oh, Billy." He stands, moving over to me and pulling me into a tight hug.

My arms wrap around his waist and I grip the back of his shirt tight in both hands. I bury my face in his shoulder, inhaling his scent still makes my heart race, even though it's so familliar.

"What am I going to do? She doesn't want to see me. But I don't want to lose our time together, Ben."

"I know, I don't either. It hasn't been easy hiding from Jane so far, we'll just have to step up our game."

"I want to be with you."

"You are with me."

"No, tonight, I want to be with you. I'll have a breakdown without you."

"You can come over , Jane has a work thing. She shouldn't be home until tomorrow after noon."

"Thank you."

"Billy, you know I would do anything for you. I love you. You don't have to thank me for anything. Although, if I pushed you out of the way of a speeding car, and was paralized, then I would appreciate a little something."

I laugh into his shoulder, "I know there is one thing you've been waiting for. That I think I'm ready to give you. As a thank you for everything."

"Scary movie marathon?"

"No, better." I pull away to look into his eyes.

"Ohh...Billy...are you sure? That's big. It's not the Jane thing, right? Or that you think I want to? I do. Want to. But, are you sure you're ready? I know I asked...but we can wait. We have all the time in the world."

"No, I've been thinking about it for a few weeks. And I really want to. Unless, you're having second thoughts?"

"No! No, never! I love you to the ends of the Earth and back and I want to prove that. But, when?"

"Tonight." I state simply.

"Tonight? That's...soon..."

"And that's how I want it, as soon as I can, I want that connection to you, forever."

"Forever is a long time Mr. Nutter, are you ready for that commitment?

"Oh yes."

We stand silently for a few moments, only staring at each other.

"There is one thing I'm ready to leave behind forever though." I lean back in to hug him, resting my cheek on his shoulder.

"And what's that?"

"Nutter. I like the sound of Billy Quimby, don't you? I don't want to hyphenate our names, or make you take mine."

"I do like that. Very much so, Mr. Quimby." He rests his chin comfortably on my head, effectively flattening my fauxhawk.

The first of it's kind, that's a first for me! Wow okay I don't even know if anyone else thinks like this, oh well, for my own reading pleasure then. Enjoy? Review? If anyone reads it :)
