A/N: Hey, yo my fellow listeners! Lol! This be DJ MBAV fan66! With another (and very emotional) songfic for ya!
This request comes from guest reviewer HopelessRomantic, who wanted a Bethan songfic done to this song. So, here it is! Lol! I know that you wanted it to be emotional and sweet all wrapped up into one, so I hope that I did your request justice because making a sad song into a sweet songfic is kind of tough. But I think I did a pretty good job at it, nonetheless :)
Sorry, that you had to wait for so long before your request could be done and posted. I've no real excuse as to why it took so long, except for being super busy with other stories and laziness sometimes. So, I hope you're not mad at me and if you are then I hope that this songfic will make up for it :)
Shout outs:
TiredOfBeingNice- It's ok fanfic buddy. I hate spellcheck too sometimes when I'm trying to send someone a text by using the little voice thingy option on the phone instead of just typing it out myself and it puts down words that I didn't even come close to saying, sometimes. Which makes me have to go back over the message to make corrections. Ugh! Lol! But yep! Ethan is a very lucky man, indeed! If only Benny had maybe had mentioned it a little sooner, though because he almost lost Ethan over it. Lol! And now for #31's review, it's cool if you're spamming me. It's not like you're sending me 50 reviews about nothing. Lol! But I'm glad too that Ethan finally got his crap together and stopped listening to Erica. She can be so devious sometimes. Lol! Yeah...unfortunately he's about to go through some more tough times in this one, too. Sorry. *looks down in guilt* Lol!
LoveShipper- Yep! It sure is! He just wanted to make things perfect for Ethan by taking the next step in their relationship. And for your review on #31, you're right. Thank goodness Ethan started to see Erica for what she really is. A back stabbing bitch (excuse the language), who only cares about herself and will do anything to get what she wants! Even it means hurting those around her. But her little plan back fired on her and instead it only made Ethan's and Benny's relationship together even more stronger now.

Songfic #32
Song: Say Something
Artist: A Great Big World (ft. Christina Aguilera)
Pairing: Ethan/Benny
Ever since thier second half of Junior year in high school, Ethan and Benny had grown even more closer to one another, though they weren't dating. They would find themselves wanting to always touch one another in some small, but non-intimate way. Like by holding hands more often, wanting to snuggle together on those cold dark nights, hugging each other a lot, or just playful teasing like gestures like light shoving or arm punching. And if you looked close enough, you'd might be able to notice the small red tint on their faces take form.
But they always just played it off as just being extra friendly with each other. Eventually, labeling their relationship with one another as complicated and difficult to understand. You see, even though Benny had stopped going after every pretty girl that he saw because he had realized that he had a crush on his best friend, Ethan, on the other, was oblivious to it and was still pining over Sarah, but was still too scared to ever make a move to ask her out. But he had noticed the strange feelings that he got every time that he was around Benny. He enjoyed Benny touching him a lot and found himself thinking how certain things about him seemed cute and adorable to him. But Ethan just pushed those strange thoughts to the side because the thought of him being gay, and for his best friend no less, scared him...a lot.
So, things just remained complicated for the two as the years went by until it was finally time to go off to college.
Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'll be the one, if you want me to
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
For Benny, he thought that he could handle their complicated relationship together, but over time it grew more difficult to believe. And now, they were both about to head off to college. Unfortunately, they were both going to different ones. Ethan's was still in Whitechapel though, but Benny's choice of college was going to be in a different town, miles away from Whitechapel. And it broke his heart to even just think that he would no longer be with his best friend anymore, until holidays or spring and summer break. But it was probably for the best anyways, since it was clear that Ethan was in love with Sarah and not him. And this..."thing", that they seemed to have together was getting too much for Benny to handle, emotionally. So, why not just leave, right?
And I am feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all
But he still wanted to give it one more shot before he left. And had decided to give Ethan an ultimatum on were they stand right now in their relationship.
"I've decided to leave town for the college in Oaksburg, today. My train leaves at five. I don't want to go, but Ethan..." started Benny, starting to get choked up now with a depressed feeling of not only about having to leave, but also about what this could mean for him and Ethan in the future. Even if they did stayed nothing more than friends, it was still the same as a long distance relationship. And those type of things just never worked out in the end. And Benny was afraid that that's what would happened between them.
"I just can't take this anymore! The strange way that we act around each other? It's like were together, but at the same time we're not. I feel as if we are stuck in between being friends and a couple. And it's driving me nuts, E!" confessed Benny, getting out everything that he's been holding inside for the past couple of years now.
And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl
"I never felt like this before with anyone, E! I love you!" sniffled Benny, as tears started to fall. "And I had hoped that you had loved me too, but I can see the way you look at Sarah, at times. I know that you still have a crush on her and that you probably love her more than you do me as a love interest, anyways." he stated sadly, as he looked down in disappointment. "So, I'm making it easier for you by leaving town and heading to a college in a different city. But..." he said, looking back up at Ethan with watery eyes. "I'll stay here and go to a college more closer to home, if you just say that you feel the same way that I do! That you don't really want me to go! Because I'll do it Ethan! I'll stay here in Whitechapel, just to be with you, if you want me to?!" pleaded Benny, as he waited for Ethan's answer.
But Ethan didn't say a word, which Benny made very worried and even more upset than he was. "Ethan! Say something! Anything! If you do love me, then stop me from going! Or else...you'll lose me FOREVER!" exclaimed Benny desperately and pleading, as more tears fell from his green sad eyes.
But he still remained silent, not knowing what to say or how he even felt about Benny and he's possible relationship as a couple together. He was in complete and utter turmoil over the matter. And by not hearing a single word uttered from Ethan's lips only broke his heart even more, as he wiped away his tears and let a very depressed and heavy sigh out before he just walked away. Probably for last time.
Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Ethan spent the next thirty minutes or so, comtemplating over his feelings for Benny and what Benny had just said to him a while ago. He then finally realized that he didn't want Benny to go and that he actually does love him as more than a best friend. So, without haste he made his way on over to Benny's to stop him from leaving and to confess his love for him.
But once he got to his grandma's place, Ethan had found that nobody was home. He quickly checked his watch for the time, as it was only 4:55, and figured that maybe she had taken him to the train station already to check-in. So, he got in his car and rushed off towards the train station in a hurry.
By the time he got there, it was after five o'clock aleady, but he had hoped that maybe the train was running late and hadn't arrived yet, so he headed to the checkout desk. But when he got there and spoke to the lady about the train heading to Oaksburg, she had told him some very grave news about the train bound for there. Apparently, it had been in a terrible accident just minutes ago, as it was leaving and somehow managed to derail itself from the track. Many people were severely hurt in the accident and were rushed off to Whitechapel Medical Hospital.
Ethan's heart dropped at the news and soon began to panic. He quickly thanked the lady and dashed off in a hurry to the hospital to see if Benny was one of the injured, brought to the hospital.
And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye
When he got there, he had managed to find Benny's room. And that's when he saw him laying there. Eyes closed with bandages wrapped everywhere and tubes running out of his fail and damaged body. There were still small minor sratches on him that weren't covered up and he could see huge, visible dark bruises spread across his arms and some on his face, as well. He looked so broken to Ethan, as he just stood there in shock and guilt at the sight.
He then heard as someone came up behind him. It was his grandmother, Evelyn. She looked as if she had been crying for days, when in actuality it was only for a few minutes. She had told him that it didn't look so good for Benny, right now and that he was in a coma from brain damage. The doctor had said that he'll most likely never wake up again. And that just brought tears to Ethan's eyes as he broke down crying.
It had been about six months now, and Benny has still yet to awaken from his coma. Not being able to take the pain of seeing her grandson like this anymore, Evelyn had decided to tell the doctor to pull the plug on the breathing machine that was keeping Benny alive. But before she had them do it, Evelyn had first decided to tell Ethan and let him say his final goodbyes to his comatose best friend.
Ever since finding out, Ethan had been coming by and visiting Benny everyday, urging for him to open his eyes and wake up. Ethan had tears in his eyes as he stood there over Benny's still sleeping form.
"I'm sorry, B. For ever making you feel like I don't actually love you as more than a friend. For putting you through such an emotional roller coaster and for making you feel as if I was just stringing you along with our complicated relationship together." he sobbed, wiping some tears away as he took Benny's still slightly bruised hand in his, gently. "And now...here I am. Saying goodbye to you one last time." he sniffled. "I can't believe that all it took for me to finally realize how much you truly mean to me is by you leaving town and getting badly hurt like this and is now laying here on your death bed, for me to tell you...that you're the one that I want to be with. Not Sarah."
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
And anywhere, I would have followed you
Oh-oh-oh-oh say something, I'm giving up on you
Ethan took a second to pause to let more tears fall from his sad brown eyes, as he clasped Benny's hand slightly tighter. "Benny! Listen to me! You have to wake up! Please! You've been like this for six whole months now! And my hearts been breaking every day since! I need you! I need you to please come back to me! I-I...I don't want to have to give up on you, in seeing your smiling cheerful face again and your dazzling green eyes ever again! If only I realized things sooner and had gotten to you sooner, before you got on that damn train, then you would never of have to be like this! Stuck in some hospital bed about ready to take your last breath all because of me! So, please Benny! Just wake up, so I can tell you how sorry I am! And that I love you, with all my heart! Just...say something or move or...ANYTHING for that matter, to show that you're ok and that everything will be alright! Please, Benny!" ranted Ethan as he continued to cry uncontrollably, warms tears falling from his eye and on to Benny hand, as he brought it up to his lips and placed a small soft kiss on it.
But there was no response from the comatose Benny, as he continued to lay there, unmoving and unresponsive. Benny's silence caused Ethan to sob even more, before he finally calmed himself long enough to then give Benny a love filled kiss on his lips as an one last goodbye to the one that he loves and had his heart as well.
Evelyn stood there in the background, crying quietly herself as she heard Ethan's last plea for Benny to wake up and him confessing his love for him as he said his final goodbye. She gave a subtle nod to the doctor and the nurse, as Ethan took a couple of steps back from Benny's bed, for the go ahead to turn off the machine. Ethan came to stand beside her, as she embraced him in a comforting hug, awaiting for when the heart monitor would flatline and make that annoying loud and long beep sound signaling meaning that he was gone now.
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something
When the nurse finally turned off Benny's breathing machine, it wasn't long before they all heard his last heartbeat before he finally flatlined. Hearing that sound just totally shattered any self composure that Ethan had, as he balled his eyes out into Evelyn's shoulder.
Suddenly, a couple of minutes later a miracle happened. The heart monitor had then suddenly began to beep again, filling the very quiet room with it's beeping sounds indicating that Benny was still alive. Hearing this, caused everyone to express very surprised and awed looks on their faces. With a sniffle, Ethan immediately looked up towards Benny's direction with surprise and hope clear in his eyes, as he rushed to the bed.
"Benny...?" spoke Ethan softly to him, as he reached to hold his hand again.
Just then, Benny's eyes began to flutter open as he looked at Ethan with groggy and confused eyes. "E-Ethan?" he managed to croak out in a raspy voice. Ethan smiled happily with a huge smile on his face, as he had tears of joy begin to fall. "Benny! Y-you're awake!" exclaimed Ethan in glee. "Yeah...? What happened? And why am I in the hospital?" asked Benny a bit dazed, as he groaned out slightly from the small bit of pain that he was still experiencing from the accident and all the surgery he had to have done from it.
After the doctor and nurse had examined Benny and he was filled in on everything that happened, he slowly began to remember some of it. Especially, the conversation that he and Ethan had before he left to finish packing for the train.
After he and Ethan had talked about everything, and Ethan told him that he was the one that he always did love, they decided to go out on a date together once Benny was released from the hospital and when he had made a full recovery. Benny had also decided not to go to that school in Oakburgs and instead just remain here in Whitechapel, with Ethan and attend the same college as him.
And all it took was a horrible accident and one miracle kiss to bring them from stuck in between friends and dating in their relationship, to all the way to happily stuck together as lovers.
A/N: And that's songfic #32! I hope you all liked it and please don't forget to leave your review, too!
I had you all going there for a second, huh? Lol! At first it seemed like it was only going to be a tragedy, but instead it turned into a very happy ending. Lol! I hope that had enough sweetness in it for ya, HopelessRomantic. Especially, with a song like that. Lol! But I hope it still worked for ya!
This one sounds like something from a movie, huh? Not that I got it from a movie or anything! It just reminds me of one of those old timey romance movies, were the female character is leaving town, but then at the last minute the male character realizes that he loves her and doesn't want her to go. So, he chases after her to the train station and right when he thinks he's missed her...BAM! There she is and it turns out that she couldn't bring herself to get on the train and leave. Lol!
Anyways, this be DJ MBAV fan66 signing off and saying that I'll see you in the next wonderful songfic to come! PEACE! Lol!
