Ch. 9 – Everybody Wants To Call You Sweetheart

Special Guest Star:

ROBBIE AMELL as SCOTT FLEMING

After the following events, Benny and Ethan haven't spoken to each other since then. Ethan was so ashamed for making his friend feel humiliated by him that didn't want to come between his ways to let things get on his normal tracks as the days go drifting by. Benny, on the other side, wasn't mad because of what happened at the movies. In fact, he just wanted to hear from Ethan that he was his boyfriend and really mean it. The only thing that was bugging Benny was Ethan's actions after his fight with Jesse. The way Ethan didn't eat anything at lunch or during the day; the way his eyes changed their colors from time to time; or even his canine teeth that had the resemblance of vampire fangs than any other things.

"No. There's no possible way. Only if Sarah bit him! No, she's not the type who only "bite and tell"… Erica! No, she finds Ethan's disgusting. Rory! Yeah, Rory… They've been pretty close these days. No, the Vampire Council prohibited him from biting human being after he made that mess on Ethan's Halloween party. He was considered a public danger ever since. Huff… I don't want to think about it! Today's Friday and I have a sleepover party to go." Benny said to himself when he was already next to his locker. Little did he know Ethan was watching him from the end of the hallway. Ethan couldn't help but ask himself how many more looks Benny would wear. Every single day he saw the young wizard with new model of shirts and jeans, always flattering his friend's curves in the right places. Now he was wearing a dark yellow long sleeved shirt with a turtleneck and an orange drawing made of little rhinestones on the front of it; blue skinny jeans and a pair of brown jockey boots coming up to his knees. The way Benny was dressing took Ethan's attention to what he really wanted to see. As soon as Benny opened his locker, he saw a note from Ethan. "What the…"

'Dear Benny,

I know I'm the last person you want to see, but I would be so glad if you'd come to see me on my wrestling matches with other guys from other schools. Mr. G nominated me the main wrestler and your support is something I need more of. I reserved VIP seats for you and the guys. It'll happen at the gym after class. Please think about it.

Sincerely,

Ethan.'

Benny now found himself in a dilemma. Should he go there and cheer for Ethan or try to distract himself at the time the contest would happen? Of course his heart would answer that question for him. Benny knew he would be there since he couldn't say no to everything related to Ethan. So, unsure if he made the right decision, he closed his locker and walked to his first class. He just prayed the guys from other schools wouldn't hurt Ethan since he couldn't win tickling all of them.

~Bethan~

When the clock struck three, it was time for Benny to go to the gym. Once he was inside, he noticed it had much more people than he thought it would have. And while he walked to his seat, someone came up to talk to him.

"Benny. I didn't know you study here. I think the faith really wants us to be together." Benny heard Scott say, noticing he was wearing a black wrestling suit. Oh no! He would be one of Ethan's opponents. "This is great! This way you can cheer up for me."

"Uh… I-I…" Benny didn't have words to say. He was afraid Scott would hurt Ethan.

"Benny! I knew you'd come." Ethan said wearing his wrestling suit. Benny couldn't help but think how hot Ethan looked dressed up like this. He didn't have much as a body like Scott, but it was enough to make Benny stare.

"I didn't know you were a wrestler." Scott commented measuring the difference in height between him and Ethan almost in a joke tone.

"Well, I am. And you better get yourself ready for me." Ethan said and without taking notice in his actions, he wrapped his arm around Benny's waist, leading the wizard to his seat and making sure he was far from Scott. When Benny was already on his seat, the two long life friends were changing glances until Ethan finally spoke up. "Prepare to be surprised."

Benny could see Ethan's eyes change their color when he blinked. Now he could tell Ethan was a vampire. And now he felt Ethan was the one who would hurt Scott. Oh boy, this was going to be big!

"Hey Benny! What's up?" Sarah said sitting beside him. Erica sat as well, but she seemed angry since she had her arms crossed and didn't answered Benny's greeting. "Erica, what's up with you today? Didn't get enough blood in the morning?"

"Like you didn't know... I can't believe you invited him to our slumber party!" Erica whispered trying to sound unhappy about it. Sarah looked at her with an expression that forced Erica to tell her the whole thing, since she knew her friend to well. "Ok, you got me. I just don't like the fact that he has a hot guy drooling over him and has better clothes than me."

Sarah could only laugh at the way she was reacting at Benny's sudden change. But she was sure Erica would end up liking Benny as much as she does.

~Bethan~

And to everyone's surprise, Ethan pinned the other wrestlers faster than they thought. One by one they were defeated by Ethan's new vampire strength. Once in a while, before the match, the seer would wave or wink at Benny which only made the wizard blush at the gestures. Ethan was close to win the first place. As if it was a destiny's joke, Scott was Ethan's last opponent. Benny watched Scott look at Ethan with an air of superiority and disbelief that Ethan could really defeat him.

The judge whistled and both Ethan and Scott stood there ready for one another's attack. Benny could see they were talking to each other, but couldn't figure out what it was because of the noise the students were doing at the bleachers. He just had this feeling that whatever they were talking about, it wasn't good.

"What's your secret? Some new kind of steroid? 'Coz there's no way you could win." Scott pointed out, but it wasn't enough to make Ethan's smile fade. He knew it was a matter of seconds until Scott was pinned to the ground, praying for his life.

"Aw, c'mon! You're just saying that because you're afraid. And you know Benny would never change our friendship for your stupid kindness tricks." Ethan said trying to intimidate Scott. "Benny's like the sun of my day, the peanut of my butter."

"That doesn't even make sense." Scott frowned scratching his head. But then he decided to forget it and attack.

"Prepare to be Etahnized." Ethan said before grabbing Scott with a head lock and pulling him to the ground immobilizing the talkative guy. And against all odds, Ethan was the county champion of wrestling. Benny stood up and walked away after he saw the girls from other schools gather 'round his secret love and try to get his number down. Ethan was so busy with the attention that didn't see Benny walk out the door. And when he realized the wizard wasn't sitting there anymore, it was already late.

~Bethan~

"Welcome to the wonderland." Sarah said leaning against her doorframe and looking at Benny holding a bag with everything he needed to spend the night in her house. "I wouldn't believe that on the only night I had for myself, I would spend it with you."

"Don't worry. I won't dim your glow." Benny provoked walking inside. They walked upstairs and while they were going up, they could hear the sound of loud music coming from Sarah's room. After she opened the door, Benny could see a bunch of girls laughing and talking about boys on the magazine. "I didn't know you liked these kind of things."

"I don't. Erica made me accept to do this. I invited you because your presence would make it less boring." Sarah provoked back and actually Benny took it as a praise.

"I thought this was a girls' night." Hannah said harshly because she was mad after hearing people gossiping about her ex hitting on Benny. "We don't accept freaks here."

"Hannah! Get over it. If I were you I would give him a chance. C'mon this can be fun." Rachel told Hannah, excited to see someone new at their often slumber parties.

"The only one unhappy here is you. I never give a damn for him when he wasn't out of the closet." Brie replied and Jen nodded. "Now I'm starting to like the fact he's gay. This way we can share secrets! Ok, I start: One day I forgot to put my panties and I was wearing a skirt. So, I spent the whole day with my legs crossed. Now you."

"Ok... I-I have a female singers CD collection. I never told anyone because they say it's too girlish for a dude. They'd make fun of me if they discover I enjoy listening to Nicki Minaj, Lana Del Rey, Amy Winehouse and other pop singers." Benny confessed and sighed in relief. "Wow. That actually made me feel better. Now what?"

"Oh, I know. Let's braid each other's hair!" Jen called an activity and guided Benny to the bed. He sat down while she stayed on the floor with her legs crossed and with her back facing Benny. "We'll do a French Braid. Now, I know you may find it difficult. I took some days to learn how to do it. You start with…"

"Done." Benny said and everyone was surprised at how beautiful Jen's hair looked. Even Erica who's been ignoring him since he arrived had to admit that the idea of calling him to come over wasn't bad at all. "I learned how to do it with Jane. Sometimes Ethan had to study for the Math contest, and I spent the time with his sister."

"You're very uncommon, aren't you?" Erica questioned shocked as Benny confessed more and more secrets.

~Bethan~

"Are you sure you saw Benny entering Sarah's house." Ethan asked Rory wanting to certify the information while they flew together to their destiny.

"Yeah. I heard Erica saying for me to stay away from her tonight, with the excuse that Benny was the only one allowed to enter on Sarah's sleepover party." Rory told Ethan the situation and the brunette vampire couldn't help but feel like he was tossed in the trash. Benny was spending most of his time with Scott and Sarah. It was like he was some kind of a spare, different from months ago when they used to do everything together. He knew it was kind of his fault and he couldn't deny it either. The only thing left to do was build a bridge that could bring Benny back to him and never let it fall.

"You better be right 'coz I have to get Benny to sleep with me again." Ethan didn't measure his words and even noticed that his speech could be taken by more than one meaning.

"You too sleep together… in the same bed?" Rory asked curious since it wasn't the first time Ethan said something ambiguous about their proximity as friends.

"Different beds Rory! Different!" Ethan answered and felt like he was having what seemed to be a déjà vu or something like that.

"Maybe this is coming from your unconscious. Maybe you…" Rory started but Ethan would never the blond finish that sentence.

"Don't you dare saying it…" Ethan warned and Rory placed both hands above his mouth. This was ridiculous. But at the same time he couldn't deny that the night they fell asleep in his bed, it felt so good holding Benny's body close to his. He could feel the smell of Benny's conditioning treatment invade his nostrils and intoxicate all his senses, making him fall in a sweet sleep. The only thing that made him stop thinking about it was his fake plasma and his warning to himself in a whispering tone. "Focus, Ethan… Focus."

They got at Sarah house pretty fast. But soon as they got there, Rory distracted himself with a squirrel running around and went after him, leaving Ethan there alone floating in the air while looking inside Sarah's window. When he saw Benny having so much fun, the only thing he asked was if he could make Benny smile like that again.

~Bethan~

"Ok, everyone. Time for the 'truth or dare'." Rachel named the game once everybody had finished putting avocado masks on their faces. The game was Hannah's opportunity to ask Benny if he wasn't interested in her ex. So, when they were all sitting next to each other forming a circle on the ground, she planned to surround her by so many questions that he would end up telling all about their secret relationship, or so she thinks they have one. "And since its Benny's first night, he's the one who'll start."

"Serious? Ok. I pick… Erica! Truth or dare?" Benny asked and Erica was a little apprehensive of what he could ask. She chose truth and waited for the worse. "Don't you like to have Rory around you all the time?"

"No. I hate it! I would enjoy it if it was Scott instead of Rory." She answered furious to remember the blond's vampire actions that destroyed her plans several times. "Now it's my turn. Benny, truth or dare?"

"Truth." He smiled trying to seem unafraid.

"Who made you stop thinking about girls?" Erica asked and suddenly Benny's smile faded. He looked down and then back up, biting his lower lip when he did so.

"Uh… Ok, I guess I can tell you. It was Ethan. I-I'm madly in love with him…" Benny said sadly and didn't even know his best friend was outside and heard it all.

"I knew it!" Erica said out loud confirming her suspects.

~Bethan~

"Benny loves me?" Ethan whispered and when he realized how big this was, he unconsciously yanked his head up, hitting it on the ceiling above the window frame. The noise wasn't too loud, but was enough for everyone inside the room look over to where he was hidden. Fortunately none of them saw him because he went to the tree next the window.

"What was that?" Ethan heard one of the girls ask scared.

"Probably a squirrel. Nothing to be frightened. Now Benny, how do you know it's not a quick emotional phase?" Brie asked the wizard thinking about that possibility.

"I don't know. I just feel it. It's like when you try to keep a wild horse down, you know? Everything he says makes my heart begins to soar and my mind starts reeling and my body feels week. Every night I know it's some more lost sleep. Today, I saw the girls gather 'round him. Everybody wanted to call him sweetheart and know his name… And I just can't stop feeling the same." Benny confessed and it was enough for Ethan. Everything's that happened was because of this secret. Ethan had to talk to Benny alone. Sometimes people change without a warning and with Benny wasn't different. Strangely even though Ethan never thought about using Benny's love, he'll keep his fingers crossed and might even pray that Benny will let Scott go. This way he could show the wizard that if he needed love, he could always count on him, to do what is best for Benny. Even if that means…

"Argh! Tell me I'm under some kind of his spells." Ethan hit his head with his hands multiple times and realized his father was right. "Who do I think I'm fooling? I know this isn't a spell. I want Benny. Somehow I knew we would end up like this…"


That's all folks! Sorry for my mistakes.
