Welcome back to Chapter 10 of WILTW. So, like always, I wanted to thank you all for the support of this story, as it now has over 2,000 views which is ridiculous to me! I can't believe that many people have bothered to read this, and I will be eternally grateful. Anyway, that's enough of the soppy emotional stuff from me, as there is plenty in this chapter. I give you Chapter 10: What should I call you?


Saturday-8:30am Ben's POV:
I woke up this morning, giddy with excitement at what it represented. Finally, after a week of suffering, Carlos could finally return to Auradon Prep, surrounded by his friends, and if I played it right, hopefully his boyfriend. Yep, after everything we had been through, I thought it was about time we made it official. Anyway, I left the school at 8:30am, hoping to get into the hospital as soon as it opens at 9:00am. This time, I planned to go alone, as I wanted to spend as much time with Carlos as I possibly could. Plus, I had a little plan in store that I didn't want anyone of know of.

I got to the hospital, and said hello to the usual doctors and patients, before making my way to Carlos' room. He was sat up in the bed, catching up on some of the TV shows that he had missed. As soon as I opened the door, I saw a smile form on his face, resulting in one forming on mine. "You did say first thing" he chuckled, extending his arms for a hug.

"What can I say? I wanted everything to be perfect" I replied, accepting his offer and hugging him back, making sure not to push against his chest. "So, I've brought you some fresh clothes, as I can imagine that you want to get out of the hospital gown as fast as you can" I joked, pulling out his usual black, white and red outfit. It wasn't anything special, just some black tracksuit bottoms, and a white and red long sleeve t-shirt.

I helped him get changed, which was rather interesting. Due to the amount of blood, and whatnot, all of Carlos' clothes were stripped from his body, including his underwear. At first, the pair of us didn't realise, so when we pulled off the hospital gown, everything was visible, and I mean everything. I managed to get a quick glance, before Carlos realised what had happened, and tried to cover it up, and I have to say, it was pretty impressive. I mean, he wasn't as big as me, but I could work with it. Anyway, he made me close my eyes, while I helped him put in the tracksuit bottoms, which made the experience ten times more awkward. I had to try and pull the trousers over his cast, trying not to hurt him, whilst I couldn't see and you can imagine how well it went. Eventually I just gave up, opening my eyes, and trying as best I could not to stare at his member. I didn't want to make him uncomfortable, but I really wanted to get us out of here. Luckily, he sprained wrist had recovered quite quickly, so he was able to put his own shirt on.

I eventually helped him off the bed, into a wheel chair, and pushed him out of the hospital. We both said farewell to the doctors, and thanked them for their support. They repeated the instructions to Carlos "Make sure to take painkillers, drink plenty of fluids and get some rest" they recited, and the pair of us just nodded. We finally made our way to the limousine, and I helped Carlos inside, before placing the wheelchair into the boot. Luckily, the hospital allowed us to take it with us until Carlos was able to walk again. I instructed the driver where to go, before getting in the back with Carlos, and he snuggled into me as our journey began.


9:30am
Carlos quickly noticed that we were not going back to the school and turned to face me. "Ben, where are we going?" he asked, causing me to smirk.

"I'm taking you on our first official date" I replied, and he blushed. We arrived at the edge of the forest, and Carlos noticed, just giving me a look, whilst I just smirked back at him. "Carlos, do you trust me?" I asked, and he gave me another look.

"Yeah, of course" is what his mouth said, but his eyes were asking what I had planned. I helped him into the wheelchair, and proceeded to push him back down to the enchanted lake. This time, he had less trouble with the bridge, as he knew it was coming, and the fact that he couldn't stop me, with him being in a wheelchair. I saw him gripping onto the wheelchair as we crossed it, but I just chuckled and continue. The lake's beauty never ceases to amaze me, and both Carlos and I chorused an "oh wow" as we approached it. This time I had brought a picnic basket with me, and it followed a similar pattern to our last date, with us sharing little bits of information.

I asked him if he had ever had any pets, and he nodded. "Yeah, I had a cat back on the Isle, called Beelzebub, he was one of Lucifer's kittens" he responded, diving into the chocolate that I had brought him. "How'd you manage to get a cat?" I asked, rather curious about his pet.

"It was from Evie's 6th birthday party, she was giving out pets. I got Beelzebub, Jay got two pet eels Lagan and Derelict, the children of Jetsam and Flotsam, and Evie got Othello, which was one of Iago's sons" he finished, but I was only more curious. "What about Mal? Did she not have a pet?" I asked, and Carlos shook his head.

"No, she wasn't invited to the party. It's why Mal hated Evie at first" he said casually, and I was completely shocked.

"Mal hated Evie?" I repeated, and he nodded his head again. "Well, are you gonna tell me why? I mean, they said you went on an adventure together" I stated, my curiosity definitely getting the better of me. "It's kinda a long story" he said, obviously shying away from it, but I responded with "We have all day" taking his hand into mine own, and I could see that he melted with my touch. "Well, it all started on Evie's 6th birthday party" he began, and boy he wasn't lying.

He explained how Mal wasn't invited to the party, so Maleficent basically said that the Evil Queen and Evie were dead to the Isle. 10 years past, and Evie finally went to Dragon Hall, where she met with Carlos for the first time. Mal forced Carlos to have a party, but didn't invite Evie, then did invite Evie, in which Mal pushed Evie into the Fur trap closet. Carlos helped Evie out, and Evie gave Carlos a pillow I think he said, which was quite cute. Anyway, Carlos took Evie outside, and managed to break the dome for about 5 seconds, causing Maleficent's staff to activate, and then the four of them were tasked to get it. Well, I say tasked, but essentially Mal invited Evie to place her into a 1000 year sleep for her evilest scheme. Jay wanted to steal the staff for Jafar, and Carlos was blackmailed to come, as the device he created could be used as a compass.

"In the end, we didn't even get the staff. Diablo stole it and took it back" he said, whilst I was just staring at him, with awe on my face.

"Wow! You went through all that?" I exclaimed, still trying to process the information, and he just nodded, still eating some of the food. "The most dangerous thing I've ever done was…was" I replied, trying to think of something dangerous that I had done. "I once drove over the speed limit by 10 miles an hour because I was running late" I stated, and it sounded more dramatic in my head. He just laughed at me, before wincing in pain over his chest injuries.

"Really? You've never done anything dangerous?" he asked, and I just shook my head.

"Well, I did invite you guys over" I replied, and he smirked.

"Yeah, that was pretty daring I suppose" he said, staring into my eyes, causing me to melt into his.

"Well, that's enough about me. I want to know about you" he said, pulling me out of his eyes.

"Umm, let's see. I never had any pets when I was growing up. I suppose I was too busy studying or travelling to ever look after one. In terms of hobbies, I really enjoy reading, as you could probably tell, but I also enjoy tourney, and my middle name is Florian" I said, now diving into the food as well. "Travelling?" Carlos asked, returning my once curious tone.

"Yeah, you know, going around all the different kingdoms, visiting the different rulers" I replied, and his eyes widened. "Where have you been?" he replied, and I chuckled. "I've been to South Riding to visit Audrey's family. We went Camelot Heights to see King Arthur when Artie was born. Ummm, Chad and I sometimes hang out at Charmington, but there are so many more" I replied, and he looked in awe "And you've been to all these places" he said, and I nodded.

"With being the future heir to the throne, it was expected of me to visit all the Kingdoms, getting to know the rulers and what not" I replied, my tone had a hint of sadness in it, and Carlos picked up on it. "You don't sound happy about that" he said, and I replied.

"I am, it's just… I very rarely get to be Ben. I always have to act a certain way, or dress a certain way to 'uphold' my family name. Growing up, I never really got to have a childhood. Everything I did was documented, every word I said, every action" I replied, a few tears rolling down my face. "Look at me, the future King of Auradon moaning about how grand his life is. You must think I'm being ridiculous." I chuckled, causing Carlos to chuckle as well.

"I think you'll find its r-i-d-i-c-u-l-o-u-s" he said, mocking my earlier song to him, and I chuckled back. "And I know what it's like, pretending to be someone you're not. I had to do it on the isle as well." He replied, taking his hand into mine.

"Just promise me this C. No matter what happens, we can always be ourselves around each other?" I asked, and he nodded. "Always" he said.

"Carlos, can I ask you something?" I then said rather nervously, and he nodded. "You can ask, but…" he began, and I just looked at him, causing him to chuckle. "I was wondering if you would make us official, and be my boyfriend" I said, pulling of my beast ring, and offering it to him. The smile that grew on this face was the most adorable thing I've ever seen. "Of course I will Ben" he said, pulling me into a hug, before placing the ring onto his finger.

"Now, let's go for a swim" I said, stripping off into my swim trunks, causing him to give me a quizzical stare/

"Ben, I'm in no condition to…" was all could he said, before I lifted him out of the wheel chair. "Ben, put me down" he repeated, whilst I slowly took us into the water. "Ben, you know I can't get my cast wet" he continued, as I slowly submerged him into the water. I held him the whole time, with my arms under his legs and the top of his back, until the pair of us were completely submerged, and I could see the magic working. I let go of Carlos, and could see gold swirls surrounding his leg, and his chest, as well as a blinding light that began to emanate from his body. Before long, the swirls stopped,the blinding light vanishing and I decided it was probably best to lift us back out of the water.

When we raised above the water, Carlos began to cough and splutter, obviously he had managed to swallow a lot of the water. "How are you feeling?" I asked, as I placed him back onto the platform. He removed his shirt, and peeled away the bandages to see his chest wounds have completely healed. He removed the cast from his leg, to again see that it was fully healed. Carlos stood up, and ran around the platform, ecstatic about his new recovery. "What happened?" he asked, as I pulled myself out of the lake.

"The lake, similar to true loves kiss, can break any spell. But for the purest of hearts, it can cure any illness or injury. It worked for you, because you had no clue what would happen, but if someone purposely came here to cure an injury or illness it wouldn't work" I replied, and a smile grew on his face.

"Thank you, my prince" he said, bowing towards me. I just giggled. "Well, I think I have your pet name" he giggled back, before jumping into the water, splashing me massively.

"Oh, it's on" I said, chasing after him, and starting a splashing war. We must have messed about in the enchanted lake for about 5 hours, because when I checked my watch it was 2:00pm. "Shall we head back to the school? I can imagine people will be worried" I said, pulling myself out of the water.

"Yeah, plus I'm getting kinda hungry" he replied. To be fair, the picnic was more of a breakfast that it was a lunch, so I suppose my timing was a little off, but oh well, we both had a good time. I checked my phone to see I had about 50 messages from everyone, asking where we were, or what we were doing. "I've got 50 messaged." I said, starting to get changed. "What about you" I asked, causing him to chuckle.

"I've got 55" he replied, showing me his phone. I just chuckled, as we both got changed. Luckily, I packed Carlos a second set of spare clothes, so he didn't need to worry about wearing the wet ones he was wearing when I carried him into the water.

We made our way back towards the road, and I had messaged my chauffeur so hopefully by the time we got back, he would be waiting. Once again, I had to give Carlos a piggyback over the bridge, but this time he wasn't as scared. I think he was slowly getting used to it, but I could still feel his nailed slightly digging into my skin. Luckily, when we did get back to the road, the limousine was waiting, and the driver was very surprised to see Carlos walking, I could see it in his facial expression. Carlos texted Mal, telling her to get everyone out the front of the school, and that we would be back within 10 minutes. Again, on the way back Carlos snuggled into my chest, a position I was quickly getting accustom to, and I decided to ask him another question. "So, if I'm your prince, what should I call you?" I said, and I could hear him chuckle.

"Ohh, I don't know if I should help you on that. After all, I came up with yours by myself" he responded, as he continued to chuckle.

"Let's see. You've practically adopted Dude, so I could all you my Puppy, or my Pup" I spoke out loud, and I could feel his blush. "I think that's perfect. My little Pup" I concluded, and he just looked at me, with a half-smile sort of look. I could tell he liked it, but he didn't want to admit it. Anyway, we got back to the school, and everyone was waiting outside. I got out the limousine first, holding the door open for Carlos as he stepped out. Everyone gasped when they saw him walking, including the Fairy Godmother.

"Carlos, you're healed?" she asked, walking over and then around him. "How is this possible?" she proceeded. He looked at me, unsure how to answer the question, so I responded for him. "Magic" I said, and I think she didn't click at first.

"So, where have you been?" Evie asked, pulling Carlos into a hug.

"My prince here took me on a date to the enchanted lake" he responded. I blushed massively at the use of my pet name, Evie, Jane, Lonnie and Audrey chorused an "aww" as usual, Mal smiled, Jay and Doug chuckled, and the Fairy Godmother's eyes widened, signalling she had finally clicked to what had happened. She just looked at me, and gave me a warm smile, mouthing the words "Thank you".

"No worries" I mouthed back, returning her smile.

Luckily, we weren't too late for lunch, and we were able to grab some food. We chatted, telling everyone about our date, and Carlos decided to show off the ring I gave him. Mal was the first to pipe up. "Don't get too carried away, or he'll be proposing in a few months" she said, causing Carlos to blush, while I just chuckled.

"Mal, don't ruin my surprise" I joked back, causing Carlos to blush even more. "Don't worry Pup, it'll be a little while before anything like that happens" I said, purposely using his nick name and pulling him into a deep hug. His blush deepened even more while I did, and the chorus of "aww" followed as usual. We spent the rest of the day as a group of friends. Luckily, it was a lovely day, so we decided to head into the forest surrounding the school. We played some hide and seek for a few hours, with caused Carlos and I to share a rather tight space with each other. We both managed to control ourselves, only giving each other love-bites, but we didn't get any further. I think the moaning gave our position away.

Anyway, after the game, we decided to try and build a treehouse, but it didn't go very well. Jay ended up getting quite frustrated, as it kept collapsing on up, but Lonnie was able to calm him down. Carlos was quick to gossip, telling me that they had been seeing each other for a while, and Carlos had known since the first Thursday they had arrived. I repeated what Lonnie would usually do, saying "aww" as he told me. Everyone looked over, confused by my actions, but I saw the expressions on Jay's and Lonnie face change. I quickly winked at her, and for the first time, she blushed. Anyway, after she had calmed Jay down, the pair of them walked straight over to Carlos and I. "What exactly do you know?" Lonnie said, rather nervously I might add.

"Only that you two had spent some free time together" I replied, and she let out a sigh of relief. "Why, has something else happened?" I asked, and this time, they both blushed. "We'll talk about this later" I smirked, dragging Carlos away from them, and back over to the rest of the group.

Suffice to say, Lonnie and I shared a rather…enlightening evening with each other. She told me about Jay and her, and by the sounds of it, they hadn't got much further than Carlos and I. "Perhaps we could go on a double date" I said, and she agreed.

"Ok, but after the coronation. We still haven't discussed what we are yet" she replied, "But I can see you and Carlos are official" she continued.

"Yeah, I asked him during the date, and then gave him my ring" I replied, smiling.

"And that's when you took him into the lake to cure his injuries" she said, and I nodded.

"How did you know about that?" I asked, curious about her knowledge.

"Come on Ben, it's the oldest trick in the book. People try to do it every summer" she replied, and I nodded once again.

"Thank god Carlos didn't know about it" I replied.


Carlos POV:
While it was nice to be back at the school, I was having a hard time in my dorm room, due to Chad's attack. Jay was nice enough to take my mind of it, telling me how he had collected all the work I had missed from my teachers, and I thanked him. However, that was not the topic of conversation I was interested in. "So, you and Lonnie" I said, smirking at him as I did so.

"So what?" he responded, trying not to get defensive.

"So, what's happening?" I asked, and he just ignored the question. "Come on Jay, I told you everything about Ben and me. It's time to return the favour" I joked, and I could see his was thinking about it.

"Damn, you've got me there" he responded, turning to face me. "We're not an official thing, but we have been spending most of our free time together." He confessed, but that wasn't enough for me.

"And?" I said, batting my eye light, like he had done to me before.

"We haven't done it, just stuff." He said, but I just looked at him, seeking more specifics. "We've done about the same as you and Ben, but nothing else" he finally confessed, pulling down his shirt, showing off some love-bites, and I smirked.

"Nice" was all I could say, turning back away from him, and continued to complete some work. It reached about 11:00pm, and I decided it was probably time to get some sleep. But when I laid in my bed, I suddenly got very uncomfortable. I kept hearing little noises, and was jumping at every single one of them. I must have laid there for about half an hour, before my anxiety got the better of me and I had to get out of the room. Jay had gone out by this point, I guessing he was spending the night with Lonnie, so I didn't need to worry about telling him.

I made my way down the corridor to the place I knew I would feel safe. I knocked on the door, and could hear some groaning on the other side, before some rather heavy footsteps. "What?" Ben said, as he swung the door open rubbing his eyes. He quickly saw that it was me, and changed his tone. "Oh, hey pup. I didn't realise it was you" he said, before yawning.

"I'm sorry to wake you. It's just, I couldn't sleep in my own room it's a bit…" I replied, as I couldn't think of the right word. "So, I was wondering if I could sleep here tonight?" I asked rather nervously, rubbing the back of my neck as I did so.

"Yeah, of course you can" he said, fully opening the door, allowing me to enter his room. This time, it was less impressive. Mostly because his clothes were all scattered across the floor, and he had work sprawled across his desk. We both made our way over to his bed, getting in on opposite sides as usual. He was quick to roll over, and take me into his arms, pulling me close to his chest. That lovely protected and safe feeling returned. "Goodnight Pup" he whispered into my ear, before nibbling on it slightly.

"Goodnight my prince" I responded, and within a few minutes I fell asleep, being soothed by his actions.


There we are. Benlos went on an official date and got to know each other a little better, as well as being an official item! Also, let me know what you think about mopey Ben, and his opinion on his 'Prince' Status. I thought it would be cute to have Ben open up slightly, as it always seems like it's Carlos that's doing so.

Thank you to Ubeck, Sexly Sango and the Guest for reviewing the last few chapters. I'm glad you guys are liked the DRAMA, and I have to admit, with some of the stuff you guys suggest, you're probably more qualified to be writing this stuff than me. Which brings me onto an interesting point.

I have been considering doing a story I write what you guys suggest if you get me. So, you guys make suggestions at the end of each chapter, and I write that for the next one. If that sounds interesting to you guys, then let me know. If it did happen, I would probably start it in the next year, as I may start to do three stories instead of two a week.

Anyway, until Thursday TTFN :)
