Sam and Cas were curled up in their bed, Sam spooning Cas. Ben sat on the bed in his room, working on a page from the Geometry & Graphing book that Liz had found for him online and printed it out while listening to The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure for background sound. Dean was sleeping restlessly alone in his bed. Chuck laying back on the couch while scrolling through the album on his phone of pictures - and the occasional video - of him and Gabriel, and glancing occasionally at his Soulmark. Eli strolled around Dean's property after getting there after work, having noticed Benny resting so decided to leave him alone. Benny sat in the kitchen, his arms folded on the island, his head leaning on his crossed arms, his hat and jacket laid in front of his arms, as he rested.

xXxXx

Benny stood in the doorway of Dean's room, his arms and ankles crossed as he leaned to the right against the doorframe, the side of his head on the frame. But, he didn't understand…he couldn't move or even speak!

Unable to move, unable to speak…Benny was forced to watch as Dean kissed Chuck who had straddled his lap. Chaste kisses turn to something more, strolling hands under shirts lead to shedding clothes, and Benny can feel his fangs aching to extend. Dean pinned Chuck to bed, his arms above his head, and leaving a necklace of bruises on his neck. Trying to look away as Dean began to open Chuck up proved difficult, so Benny let himself be distracted first by the scars on Chuck's sides and stomach - it was so odd to him to know he was jealous but that he really didn't hate Chuck, how could he? What wasn't there about Dean to love?

The sleeve tattoo on Dean's right arm served as further distraction…Dean called it a horror sleeve, it was based on several individual horror characters but they weren't that character - or, something like that. If he remembered correctly, the person who actually drew up Dean's tattoo was the same person who did the covers and monster art for the Supernatural books and the covers for the Revolution books.

'You know, we can't tell Benny about this…he wouldn't understand.' Benny heard Dean say before he slid into Chuck. At that, Benny felt his fangs and claws extend and knew his eyes had changed colors. As Dean began to move, the sound that came out of Benny's mouth, with his inability to move…was something of a mix between a long hiss and a growl. Benny noticed the curious look on Chuck's face as he looked over at Benny before a hint of a smirk appeared on his face 'Mine', Chuck mouthed.

xXxXx

Chuck sat up, he wanted Gabriel but while he hadn't understood everything he knew enough to figure out that Gabriel didn't want him anymore. He wanted to snuggle up next to Dean, but he'd also figured that was what Benny had wanted…but if that were true, why was Benny staying in the kitchen?

Chuck stood up from the couch before putting his phone in his pocket and walking to the kitchen, just because he still couldn't sleep in his own bed didn't mean that Benny shouldn't be with his soulmate. He knew that what was going on between Dean and Benny was his fault, but he wasn't entirely sure how.

Chuck stood staring curiously at what was obviously a 'resting' Benny - since vampires don't NEED sleep - before walking around to stand at Benny's right. Chuck tilted his head curiously, it was obvious that Benny's claws were extended but that wasn't normal when he was resting. He considered it being because of a nightmare, if vampires don't sleep then they couldn't have nightmares, but he might have misunderstood how that works. He heard a whimpering sound coming from Benny as his right hand and face twitch and he noticed a small hint of Benny's right fang. Chuck hesitantly put his left hand on the back of Benny's neck with the intention of waking Benny up.

Benny's eyes snapped open at the touch on his neck, he saw the hesitant but curious look on Chuck's face, and before Chuck even had time to blink Benny had slashed the left side of Chuck's face with the claws on his right hand. Chuck didn't even have time to put his hand up to his face before Benny had him pinned to the floor with his right hand splayed on Chuck's chest, 'He's not yours!' Benny snarled.

Chuck couldn't think clearly beyond the facts that he was scared out of his mind and he was hurt! He knew he'd been cut but that was a dull secondary pain compared to the pain in his chest from the pressure Benny was applying. 'You can't have him!' Benny shouted angrily. 'I won't let you have him!' He added, his fury red eyes glaring at Chuck.

The only word Chuck could think of when he felt Benny bite into the right side of his neck was the one that he cried out in pain, 'Dean!'

xXxXx

Dean had yawned but sat up quickly when he heard Benny shout - at who, he wasn't real sure. Benny was NOT one to shout! Anger was one thing but he wasn't to much for raising his voice. When he heard Chuck cry out in pain, he was off his bed and out of his room in moments.

Getting halfway into the living room, Dean noticed Eli between Benny and Chuck who had his left hand up on his cheek and his right up on his neck and who was sitting up on the floor. Eli's left hand splayed on Benny's chest. 'What the fuck is your problem?' Eli snapped.

Dean could tell simply by Eli's voice that his fangs had grown. Chuck staggered to his feet, turned, and ran straight into Dean hard enough to knock them both to floor. Dean doubted that Chuck even realized that Dean had been there as he clung to Dean and cried. Dean hesitantly wrapped his arms around Chuck who was also shaking. 'What's going on?' He asked concerned.

Benny attempted to go after Chuck, but Eli repositioned himself behind Benny and had his arms looped around Benny's own. 'Benny, relax!' Eli said calmly, but forcefully.

'Let me go!' Benny said angrily struggling against Eli. 'Chuck can't have him! Dean's mine!' He added.

Cas stood just slightly in the living room to the left of Sam who was still half-asleep. Ben standing to Sam's right. All three having been drawn into the living room by Benny's shouts and then Chuck's pained yell for Dean.

Dean tried to look at Chuck, but with Chuck's face buried in the side of Dean's neck, he couldn't get the look he needed to check on the wounds. Of course, he also couldn't stand back up, because Chuck wasn't budging with his grip on him. 'What the hell, Benny? What did Chuck do to you? Actually, you've been pissy ever since we got back from Becky's! So, what the fuck is your problem?' Dean asked curiously but with more than a hint of anger.

'Chuck's trying to take you away from me!' Benny stressed. 'He - you - what do you expect me to think when you're sleeping together?' He added.

'Fucking hell, Benny! You're the one who told me to!' Dean snapped.

'I said it was okay for you to SLEEP with him, not fuck him!' Benny said angrily.

'WHAT?' Dean snapped/shrieked. 'I'm not fucking him!' He added.

'Cher, I love you…but I'm not going to stay with you while you're fucking someone else.' Benny said. It finally dawning on him that what he'd seen of Dean and Chuck fucking had all been a horrible nightmare and he'd just dug himself into a nice hole. 'Well, how do I explain this?' He thought to himself.

Dean grabbed Chuck's wrists, pulling his hands loose, and stood up, pulling Chuck with him. 'You know how I feel about you, Benny. Hell, you're my soulmate and I don't think I even cared about finding my soulmate for most of the time I've had my mark…but that doesn't change how I feel about you. STILL, there is one thing Sammy, Cas, and Chuck - when he's well - can tell you.' He began calmly. 'You don't fuck with the people I care about…and soulmate or no soulmate, I'll be damned if I let my soulmate hurt them! And, if you don't like that, you know where the hell the exits are.' He continued angrily.

Eli began to relax his grip on Benny when he felt the fight go out of Benny and could tell he was back to his blue-eyed self.

Ben took a couple steps forward. 'You don't want that, Dean.' He said calmly.

'You NEED to stay out of this, Ben.' Sam advised strongly.

Ben looked back at Sam and Cas. 'No.' He answered simply before returning his attention to Dean who was now looking back at him. He took another step forward before stuffing his hands into the pockets of his pajamas. 'See, I live with Benny…not you. If he leaves then so do I.' He added calmly.

Sam and Cas shared a look along the lines of 'what the fuck is this kid thinking?' Eli lowered his head and took a step back, deciding just to keep his mouth shut. Dean looked back and forth between Benny and Ben in disbelief.

'Benjamin Braeden!' Benny reprimanded. 'The issue I have with Dean is my own, you do not speak to your father like that!' He added.

'I'm telling him the truth, if you leave…then so do I.' Ben said calmly.

'So, what is this? You're making me choose between you - my soulmate - and Chuck - my friend?' Dean snapped, directing his question at Benny.

'Cher -' Benny began gently, trying to figure out how to fix the mess he'd made.

'And, what? If I choose Chuck then not only do I lose you but my son, too? I'm finally getting to at least spend a little time with him and if I choose my friend over you, I lose my kid, too?' Dean asked, hoping to be proven wrong.

God help him, Benny wanted to say no…but he also knew that things between him and Dean would NEVER get better if Chuck was constantly there. 'Yes.' He said regretfully.

Sam and Cas shared a look of disbelief. Ben kept silent. Dean lowered his head, tightening his grip on Chuck before looking at Benny, then Ben, he stepped back away from Chuck before returning his attention to Benny. 'Fine, Benny…you win. I can't lose my son, again.' Dean turned and walked past Ben before walking past Sam and Cas.

Sam lowered and shook his head before heading back to his and Cas' room, knowing that NOW was not the time to talk to Dean. 'I would say that I'm disappointed, Benny…but honestly, I'm ashamed of you.' Cas said, shaking his head before following Sam.

'What has happened to you, Benny? You used to be one of the people I respected most in this damned world of ours…but now, I don't even know you.' Eli said disappointed, before walking out of the house to go home.

'I'm going back to bed.' Ben said easily before heading back to his room, leaving Benny alone with Chuck.

Chuck walked backwards away from Benny until he was out of sight, at which point he turned and headed for the basement.

Benny began pacing the kitchen, he'd wanted to FIX the mess NOT make it worse, and making it worse was EXACTLY what he'd done. Well, he did have an idea how to FIX the mess he'd made, but he knew it was going to be a tough pill to swallow, but it wasn't any less than he'd deserved.

xXxXx

Benny stood outside the studio, it was one-way glass…similar to a police interview room, people outside the room can see into it but the person or people inside couldn't see out of it. Dean liked it that way because it wasn't as much of a distraction to him. Inside, he could see Chuck sitting on the stool on the right - well, it was Benny's right - a guitar balanced on it's side on his legs, his arms crossed on it, his head leaning on his arms, his shoulders shook as he cried, and there was blood running down the side of his face - Dean was going to be pissed if the carpet in there got stained, again.

Benny walked into the room, leaving the door cracked open so he could hear if someone was coming since even vampires couldn't hear through soundproofing. He walked over to stand in front of Chuck and placed his right hand on the back of Chuck's head.

Chuck's head snapped up and his face immediately morphed into one of fear. He opened his mouth, he wasn't sure what he was going to say, but he wasn't given the option when Benny removed his right hand from the back of Chuck's head and placed it over Chuck's mouth.

'I know you won't understand everything I say, but give me a chance to say it, at least.' Benny said carefully. He honestly didn't have nearly as clear of a picture of Chuck's recovery as Dean did so he just didn't know which words were better than others for Chuck to be able to understand.

Chuck narrowed his eyes but nodded reluctantly.

'Before I explain…I should fix the damage I did to you but I can't fix both injuries . If I hadn't fed off you, I could have…but now, it's to big of a risk to mix our blood without turning you which I doubt you'd want even if you were one hundred percent.' Benny said and wasn't surprised in the slightest by Chuck's confused look. 'I can't fix your fractured ribs but I can fix the gashes on your face.' He explained, it had been A LONG TIME since he'd used his vampiric strength on someone fully human…Chuck had ended up being that exception. Again, he was not surprised by the confused look on Chuck's face. 'You just have to let me lick you.' He said bluntly. 'Yeah, that didn't sound weird, at all.' He thought to himself.

Chuck eyes went wide which Benny figured would've happened no matter what state Chuck was in. 'Unless you want to have to explain why you have a set of scars on your face and those are deep enough to scar.' Benny pointed out. Chuck crinkled his nose in disgust. 'Don't worry, I don't like the idea, either...' Benny added. Chuck reluctantly nodded.

Benny used to his right hand to grip Chuck's chin, turning Chuck's to his left - Chuck's right.

Chuck jumped when Benny licked him the first time, trying to figure out why Benny was suddenly being nice to him. You don't go from trying to kill someone to trying to help them in minutes - or at least, he didn't think you did.

When Benny stepped back from Chuck, he - Benny - was doing something similar to a dog with peanut butter. 'You need a shave.' He pointed out, knowing damn well that Chuck was perfectly happy with his beard. Benny had remembered why he didn't like licking a persons face even if they were bleeding - besides it being almost dog-like in nature - especially with men, he didn't like the feeling on his tongue when it would run over their beard.

'There are a lot of things I could say to you, Chuck…but there are only two that really matter. I am sorry, I - I've been jealous of your relationship with Dean since…I think since I opened my mouth and said it was okay to sleep with you after you'd went to his room instead of your own.' Benny began to explain. 'And then, you went with Becky and…it just seemed like he was completely ignoring me and I don't even like a lot of attention, but to have what I wanted - I sound like a pouting child!' He continued irritated. 'I know he loves you, but I know he doesn't love you the way he does me. But then, I started dwelling on the idea that he was fucking you and then the nightmare of being forced to stand there and watch as he fucked you…I just - and then YOU were the one to wake me up and I don't even know if I realized I was really awake…I wanted to kill you for taking him away from me. But, I realized how - I realized my behavior was uncalled for when Ben threatened to leave with me and I'M NOT the boys father, Dean is. But, I was still so very jealous and when he put me on the spot on him having to choose between the two of us…I know I made things SO MUCH worse by telling him that's what I wanted.' He added regretfully. 'But honestly, I want him happy and I don't think losing you as his friend is going to make him happy…least of all if it's my fault for putting him a situation where if he chose you, he lost not only his soulmate but his child, as well.' He concluded honestly.

Chuck looked curiously at Benny, he'd gathered bits and peaces from what Benny had said but not enough to piece more together then that Benny was jealous and that Dean loved him but not like he did Benny. Chuck knew what he wanted to say - sort of - but he couldn't even form the words in his head and he'd realized since he'd begun his speech therapy that if he couldn't form them in his head that he wasn't going to be able to actually speak them. And, that feeling - especially, right then when HE KNEW the words would be important - was so very frustrating!

Benny could see the frustration on Chuck's face. 'Chuck?' He asked curiously, figuring maybe prompting him would help.

'But I do!' Chuck said, frustrated that those were the only words he could get out, but hoping that Benny would still understand them.

'What?' Benny asked confused.

'He - I -' Chuck began frustrated. 'He doesn't. I do.' Desperate for Benny to understand.

'I don't understand. WHO doesn't? And, WHAT do…you?' Benny asked, still thoroughly confused.

'Dean.' Chuck said annoyed.

'Okay.' Benny shook his head in confusion. 'What does Dean not do that you do?' Benny asked, actually even more confused.

'Love.' Chuck said uncertainly.

'Okay, THAT'S obviously not what you mean, so why don't we go find cher and maybe he can help us figure out what you're trying to say, because I really don't.' Benny said hopefully. Because, if Chuck really meant that Dean DOESN'T love, he needed more help then Dean was EVER going to be able to provide.

Chuck nodded hesitantly, he really didn't want to try to explain to Dean, but Benny just wasn't going to understand.

Chuck got down from the stool and sat the guitar back in its stand before following Benny back upstairs to find Dean. Finding Dean on his bed, his face buried in his hands wasn't a good sign. 'Cher, I'm trying to understand what Chuck is talking about, but I don't have the experience with him that you do.' He heard Benny say.

Dean's head snapped up and something between concern and confusion crossed his face, not sure just what he'd missed. 'What are you talking about?' Dean asked curiously.

'I'm not going to go through everything I said, but -' Benny began.

'Then, I can't help you. To understand what Chuck himself is referring to…I'd need to know each part of what you said before I could help to figure out what he's referring to.' Dean said honestly.

'I figured out part of it, myself. I got down to the fact that he was referring to something you don't do that he does. I asked him…what does Dean not do that you do? And, he told me one word, love. Now, he obviously doesn't mean that you don't love, at all…so, what is he talking about?' Benny asked curiously.

Dean shook his head, he figured that whatever Chuck was referring to actually had to do with what Benny wasn't repeating. 'Can you tell me what you remember from what you told him that could remotely have anything to do with that?' He asked, slightly frustrated.

'It was about why I have been acting like I have, how I feel about you, how you feel about me, and that I know that you don't feel the same for him as you do for me.' Benny summarized, in hindsight…he was quite happy that Chuck was responsible for writing because he knew that was a really lousy summary.

Something clicked in Dean's head and he really hoped he was wrong with his assumption. 'Chuck?' He asked curiously.

'Dean?' Chuck asked curiously.

Dean chuckled. 'I'm going to ask you something and I want you to be honest, okay?' Dean asked gently.

'Okay.' Chuck agreed without hesitation.

'Do you love me?' Dean asked curiously.

Chuck narrowed his eyes. 'Yes.' He said curiously.

'Not like how I love Sammy or Cas, how I love Benny?' Dean clarified.

Benny looked at Chuck. He was starting to think that maybe he shouldn't have brought Chuck to Dean because he was NOT liking where this was going.

Chuck looked up at Benny. 'Just answer the question, we can deal with the consequences later.' Benny said, knowing this couldn't be dealt with until there was an answer.

Chuck looked at Dean. 'Yes.' He squeaked, frightened and reluctant.

Benny gritted his teeth. 'And, did this start before or after the Con?' Dean asked carefully.

'Don't know.' Chuck said honestly.

'Aw hell!' Benny said frustrated.

'Yeah.' Dean agreed.

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Author's Note: Well, Benny's TRYING to deal with his jealousy, but with Chuck admitting to being in love with Dean - and not in a brotherly way, that's going to make things very…interesting.
