A/N: Hey, there all you cool-a-rific people, you! It's me, DJ MBAV fan66! And I'm spinning you a new hot track fresh out of the mind that is mine! OWWW!
So, this song was requested by Bennyweirlover17. I hope you like it and the pairing that I picked for it. I know you were wanting me do some other pairings on here, as well. ;)
And by the way, to everybody else out there who dares to listen in on this fab-tastic fic of mine. Don't be afraid to drop a request of your very own in, as well! Remember, it can be a request for a song, pairing, scenario, or all of them above! And you don't have to have an account on here either just to leave one behind! You can also be a guest reviewer, as well! Just be sure to leave your request in the reviews (or PM me if you want too and have an account) and I'll make note of it for later so I can get it done. :D
Also, sorry for the long wait my homies. Things have been a bit busy for me, lately. But I'm back and here now! So, get ready for some more kick butt tunes! :D But I do wanna just let you know that the updates might still be coming a little bit slow due to my busy schedule (with maybe a severe case of the procastination bug thrown in the mix :P). But don't fret my friends! For I'm not giving up on this fic any time soon! So, if you don't see an update from me on this one in quite some time, then don't worry. There will be one eventually. Just be patient. ;D
Anyways, let's get on with some shout outs, shall we? ;D :
TiredOfBeingNice- Me too. Probably because in the movie and show he hardly ever seemed excited to see him or to have him around.
Bennyweirlover17- Thanks! :) Yeah, Benny was a total dick towards Rory in the beginning, huh? But it's like they used to tell little kids! If someone tends to pick on you a lot, then it must mean that they like (or love) you. Lol! Of course, we both know that's not always the case because some times when someone picks on you it ususally means they truly don't like you or they have a problem with you. Which isn't cool. :P

Songfic #38
Song: Close
Artist: Nick Jonas (ft. Tove Lo)
Pairing: Benny/Erica
It was between classes at Whitechapel High School, as a tall and lanky burnette with semi-short curly hair was busy grabbing his books for his next class out of his locker when suddenly he felt a familiar presence come approaching by and walking right pass him.
Oh damn, Oh damn, Oh damn
I'm so perplexed
With just one breath I'm locked in
They instantaneously locked eyes right when she passed by him. Green meeting an ocean of blue. The girl in question had the most beautifulest hair that he's ever seen. Even more beautiful than Rapunzel or even Sleeping Beauty in those one fairtale stories that you hear as a kid. For this girl's hair flowed gracefully through the air, as the golden blonde locks effortlessly drifted behind her angelic like movements.
Her lips were the reddest shade he's ever seen and yet they seem so soft and tender. And her style...it just left him breathless at how stunning her clothes seem to make her appear. Everything she wore just made her look ten times even more fabulous to look at. She was a goddess among a bunch of commoners and he couldn't help, but to not be able to take his eyes off of her every time she entered the room.
In Benny Weir's eyes, Erica Jones was the most magnificent and exquisite creature that he's ever seen. Even for a vampire. The sight of her just made his heart want to stop beating itself as he couldn't get enough of her beauty and charm. And to think...once upon a time Erica Jones used to be a nerd like him. Even then he still thought she was a beauty to behold in his eyes.
Oh damn, Oh damn, Oh damn
I'm so perplexed
on that it's almost shocking
He was drawn to her. And somehow, deep down inside, he could feel that she felt the same thing that he did. There had been so many awkward moments between the two that it was undeniable that there just HAD to be a connection there. And Benny knew it, too.
He just wished that Erica would realized it, as well, and let down all those walls she done built up due to all the bullying and harsh words she recieved as a nerd back then for not being popular enough. If only she knew that in the eyes of some, there was still few out there who saw her as beautiful and lovely even as a glasses wearing geek.
He could tell she only acted the way she did because she was scared. To show who she really was on the inside. To be taken advantage of by others for her brains and beauty. Benny knew the real Erica on the inside. And what she displayed on the outside wasn't her. Not the Erica that he knew. Of course, who's to say that the more hotter and sassier version of her wasn't sexy as hell, as well, but he still much prefered the more kinder and gentler version more.
I know, I know you know you're scared
Your heart, your mind, your soul, your body
If only she would see him differently. He's not like all those egotistical guys out there who just want to date her for her looks. No, sir. Benny Weir was a man of class and respect and would treat her with the kind of dignity and respect that she'd deserves as a lady. He'd shower her in gifts not just to get her attention, but instead to show his love for her. He'd be sure to let her know just how much she means to him every single day and that he would never leave her side. Well...at least until the day he dies, that is, considering she's immortal and he's not. But still...he would make sure to always be there for her no matter what because that's what love is.
They won't, they won't, they won't be careful
But I guess that you don't know me
There was a unique pull between the spellmaster and the vampire. One that couldn't be explained. Benny was undoubtably sure in his mind that they were meant to be together and that if he ever did manage to get a hold of her that he would never let her go, either. But first he had to get through to the REAL Erica Jones hiding on the inside, first.
Cause if I want you, and I want you, babe
Ain't going backwards, won't ask for space
He stood there, watching her go and disappear around the next corner of the hallway, entirely. Oh, how he wished he was man enough to tell her just how he truly feels about her. Then maybe, just maybe, she'd finally see him for him and would give Benny Weir the chance that he rightfully deserves.
Cause space is just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get too
But he wasn't gonna give up hope on it, yet. Benny KNEW that they would eventually end up together. He just had to stay positive and determined, was all. So, he wasn't going to back down anytime soon. Not as long, as that bit of hoped remained.
He closed his locker door, after grabbing his last book and turned to head to class with a determined and confident gleam in his eye. He wasn't about to give her the space that she's been trying so desperately to gain between them by staying away from him and treating him like crap all these months, now. It was time that Benny Weir fought back for the heart of the woman that he loves.
Close, oh
Oh, so close, oh
I want you close, oh
Cause space is just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get close, oh
Oh, so close, oh
I want you close, oh
Oh, I want you close, and close ain't close enough, no
Erica Jones walked the halls with nothing but confidence and air about her. Nothing would bring her down, for she was at the top of her game. She owned this school and all who dare set foot in it.
But there was one person in particular who she had a hard time keeping it in control around...and that person's name was Benny Weir.
For some strange and unexplained reason, everytime she was around him she felt as if she was alive again, as the sight of him just made her undead heart want to beat again.
Oh man, oh man
I'm not really known for ever being speechless
That moment when they locked eyes, she found it really hard to look away from him. With those gorgeous green eyes of his and that goofy weird grin of his. And the way his voice sounded every time he spoke to her, trying to be all flirty and stuff. It just made her want him even that much more, but she knew better.
If she wanted to keep up her current status of popularity, than she couldn't be seen dating a dork like him. No matter how cute and captivating he may be or even how much it pained her for her to act like that around him. Like a total bitch who could careless about a geek like him, no matter how untruthful that may be because she did care for him. A lot, actually. More than you could ever know.
But now, but now somehow
My words roll of my tongue right onto your lips, oh
She slammed her back against the wall once she rounded the corner and was out of sight. Luckily, there wasn't many students that came to this way. She let out a breathy sigh, as she held her books closer to her chest as she got lost in this daydream of hers with Benny.
She imagined being somewhere private with him, as their lips meet together in a heated and passionate tongue locked battle. There might've been a few words spoken here and there in the vivid hallucination, but she couldn't quite make out what was being said because all Erica could focus on was the way their lips felt and tasted with each kiss and how perfect and right it felt, too.
I'm keeping cool while you keep smiling
Saying all the things I'm thinking
Erica couldn't help, but to crack a pleasurable grin on her facial features. She was enjoying the feeling her imagination was giving her at the moment of kissing Benny. Especially, when he was smiling at her while his hands roamed all over her body. It just sent chills up her spine at the vision of seeing his sexy dazzling smile of his.
She knew that Benny had a bit of a crush on her even back when she was just a book reading and glasses wearing nerd. She wished she'd acted upon it when he first attempted to flirt with her back before she knew him and was turned into a vampire at that party. Back when he had asked if either her or Sarah were babysitting at the Morgan's house that night. Oh, how she wished that she had acted upon her impulse to flirt back, but sadly she didn't.
And now she feared it was too late. There was just too much separating them now. Too many differences keeping them apart from one another. So, much has changed since then that couldn't be undone.
One of them being all the times she's threatened him when he tried to flirt with her after she became a vampire. As a result, Benny's flirting advances towards her have now, but all stopped. Except for the rare few moments when some...bizarre gesture would happen to them every now and than. Like that time when they both went for the pen to the sign up sheet for the school play and both their hands touched or how she loved how his blood tasted after he had tricked Sarah and her into drinking it, saying that it was an "energy potion" for them.
There was definitely a spark there between them and she could feel it, but what she couldn't figure out was whether or not if he did or not? If only he would give her a sign (and hopefully the lack in flirting wasn't it). If he did ever begin to flirt with her again, then maybe this time...maybe this time would be different? This time she might actually...flirt back with him? Erica smiled at the thought of the idea.
Oh man, oh man
I am like you so I want proof of what you're feeling
Erica sighed inwardly. If Benny Weir did truly still have a crush on her and felt the same things that she's been feeling for months now, then she needed proof. Proof that he actually loves her and wants her in the same way that she does.
Anything would do like a simple flirt with one of his lame and cheesy pick up lines, or some flowers, or a poem. ANYTHING!
Cause if I want you, and I want you, babe
Ain't going backwards, won't ask for space
And with that she decided to head to class, as the bell rang.
Cause space is just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get too
But there was one thought that remained in her mine, still. That if he ever did try to win her over one last time then she would no longer fight what her heart's been trying to tell her. That she was in love with Benny Weir and that she would do anything just to have him close to her.
Close, oh
Oh, so close, oh
I want you close, oh (yeah, baby)
Cause space was just a word made up by somebody who's afraid to get close, oh
Oh, so close, oh
I want you close, oh
Both sat there in class with their thoughts on wanting the other, as they couldn't possibly focus on what was being taught by their teachers at the time.
A certain spellmaster, especially, was sitting there plotting out his next move on a certain seductive blonde vampiress. This time he knew the end result would turn up differently than usual because this time he was taking a more...bolder appoarch at the situation at hand.
Oh, I want you close and close ain't close enough, no
It was now lunch for all of Whitechapel High and as Erica walked down the almost empty corridor (after already having her "lunch" if you will), she was suddenly and briskly pulled into an empty classroom.
Erica was taken by surprise by the sudden move and flashed her fangs defensively at the person, but was even more surprised by just who had done it in the first place.
Cause if I want you, and I want you, babe
Ain't going backwards, won't ask for space
Staring back at her were a pair of brilliant green eyes with a cocky grin spread across their face.
"Benny! What the h-!" hissed Erica angrily, but was taken by surprise yet again by the spellmaster's next move, which had abruptly cut her off.
Cause space is just a word made up by somebody who's afraid to get too
He had kissed her on the lips, but it wasn't just any kind of kiss. No. It was one filled with love and passion.
Close
At first, Erica thought that maybe this was another hallucination but quickly realized that it wasn't after remembering everything that had happened before this point. She soon closed her eyes and kissed back with just as much force, as she placed her arms around his waist seeing as she had nowhere else to go because he had pinned her body up against the wall next to the door when he yanked her inside the room.
Close, oh (close baby)
Oh, so close, oh
Everything that Benny was feeling for her was laid all out on the line with just that one little kiss. And judging by the way Erica was kissing back it had worked. He couldn't help the smug and accomplished smile that appeared on his face once the kiss was over.
"Erica Jones, I have always loved you and I still do. I loved you when you were a book loving geek and I love you even now as a sexy and hot confident vampire. Even when you do tend to scare the crap out of me at times. Especially when you're angry. I still love you and want you as my girlfriend." confessed Benny whole heartedly, while still trying to catch his breathe from that heated kiss.
I want you close, oh (baby)
Erica just stared at him blankly, while listening to everything he was saying to her carefully. She felt her heart flutter a bit when he told her that he has always loved her and always will no matter what, basically. Her mind was totally blown by the simple fact that this was even happeing to her. It was like a dream come true, but she had to keep up her unamused act though. Just for kicks this time. She'll let him know how she truly feels as well after she hears everything he has to say to her, first.
"I mean, can't be rude and all. So why not let the poor man go first, since he was so eagered and all." she thought smugly, smiling on the inside.
"I'm tired of playing all these little games where I constantly flirt with you only for you to end up harshly rejecting me when I KNOW for a fact that it's all just a lie. I know you want to be with me too. I can see it in your eyes." he said to her.
For a second there her steely eyes grew soft when he said that and Benny saw it. He couldn't help the smile that appeared briefly, but then frowned as he got serious again.
Cause space is just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get close, oh
Oh, so close, oh
"I know the real reason why it is that you're so afraid to even get close to me, Erica." he stated, looking down slighty. "It's because you're afraid to get too close to anybody in fear that they might someday hurt you. Just like they did back when you used to be human."
Benny then looked back up at her with a look that meant love and determination on his face. "But I promise you this, Erica Jones! I, Benjamin Michael Weir, promise to never break your heart or to hurt you like everyone else before me. I love you too much to ever want to be the one to cause you pain. You mean way too much to me." declared Benny passionately. "So, I ask you this...will you go out with me, Erica? And give this thing that we have between us a chance?" he asked hopefully.
I want you close, oh
Erica just stood there staring him down in the eyes. She gave everything he said to her some much needed thought. She was torn on whether or not to do this, but in the end she had made her decision.
And before he knew it, Erica quickly grabbed the sides of his face and pulled him back into another kiss.
I want you close and close ain't close enough, no...
Benny was a bit shell-shocked to see this side of her, but he wasn't complaining though.
"You're right, Benny! I was afraid of getting close. Afraid of only getting my heart broken again like so many times before. That's why I have been keeping all this space between us. I thought that maybe in time what I feel for you would just go away like all the other little crushes I've had over the years, but it hasn't. And I'm sorry for having to put you through so much hell between my attitude and selfish pride in all of this, Benny." confessed Erica sincerely, as she looked down ashamedly.
She looked back up at him again, but this time with a big happy smile on her face. "I took what you just said to heart greatly and I have finally decided." she said, smiling brightly.
Benny just looked at her in anticipation.
"Yes! I will go out with you Benny Weir. And I would be honored to be your girlfriend, too because the truth of the matter is...I've always loved you too. And it's about time that I stop lying to myself about it, too!" replied Erica genuinely.
Yeah, baby (close, oh)
Over joyed by the news, Benny rushed up to her and picked her up thus twirling Erica in the air in his arms. Erica giggled at the gestured, as he brought her back down. They kissed yet again, but this time it was more like a makeout kiss as hands got tangled up in hair and shirts tossed to the floor.
They knew better to have sex in the middle of the school day, so they kept it quick and simple with just a bit of roaming hands and soft kisses planted on bare skin. That was for a much later date and time for a more...special occassion in the future whenever they got to that point in their lives, that is.
Benny had even managed to mumble out a quick silencing spell to block out any reckless noises that they might make while having their little special moment together like this, as not to draw any unwelcomed attention to themselves.
Tell me, baby what you want
(Close, oh)
After about twenty minutes, they finally left the classroom together with their hair and clothes slightly a mess, but they could care less because one thing that they've been dreaming to happen has finally happened to them...becoming boyfriend and girlfriend.
And they couldn't be anymore happier, as the walked down the hallway together side-by-side while holding hands. Benny gave her a quick peck on the cheek and a "I love you" with it. Erica smiled and giggled, as she said it back, resting her head on his shoulder as they walked hand-in-hand in nothing more than pure bliss and happiness.
Oh, I want you close, and close ain't close enough no...
A/N: And there you have it, my fellow songfic-ers! Another great tune for you all! :D
A bit of Bennica there for you all out there! Somehow, I feel as if Erica ever did decide to give Benny a chance in the show that this would be how it would go. Looks like Erica's playing hard to get act has finally disappeared, as her love for a certain spellmaster finally wins out in the end on her. Lol! ;)
Let me know what you all thought about it in a review! :)
Until next time, I'll be seeing all you cool cats around and in my next sick songfic tune! Peace! ;D
