A/N: I got a request for more Victor and Bram father/son moments, and I'm more than happy to oblige.


Victor and Benji stayed at the cemetery for a few more minutes. They called a cab because neither of them could drive. "Thanks for showing up," Victor said. "I would have probably spent the entire night out there if it wasn't for you."

"No problem," Benji said. "When I realized you didn't arrive, I had a hunch that you would be there. I remember you saying something about this is where your dad was going to be buried."

"Well, your hunch was correct," Victor said. They then arrived at the apartment building. "I'll see you at school."

"See ya," Benji said. He then climbed out of the car and entered the building. He clicked on the bottom for the floor his place was on. He stepped off the elevator at his stop, and he walked to his apartment. Once the apartment door was open, he saw his dad was sitting on the couch.

"Hey, dad," Victor said.

"Hey," Bram said. Even though he still had his calm demeanor, worry covered the entirety of Bram's face. "Where have you been? We've been worried sick."

"Sorry," Victor said. "I went to visit the cemetery, and I fell asleep. Benji found me and took me home."

"I'm glad you're ok," Bram said. They then shared a brief hug. Victor led Bram to the couch, and they sat down, Victor knowing he needed to have an important conversation. He knew in reality, he had nothing to worry about, but he still had a bit of anxiety in him.

"I, um, need to talk to you about something," Victor said.

"Ok," Bram said.

"So I broke things off with Mia," Victor explained. "I wasn't looking forward to it, but it needed to be done. When Benji moved to my school, I experienced something I never have. I really that I was liked him. More than just as a friend. I don't know if I'm ready to put a label on it, but I know I really like Benji."

Bram nodded as he pulled Victor in for a hug. Victor rested his head on Bram's shoulder. Bram gently rubbed his back. "That is perfectly fine," Bram said. "I'm glad that you found someone that you really like. I know discovering your sexuality can be a strange time, and it might take years. But the journey will be worth it in the end."

"Thanks for listening and being here for it," Victor said.

"No problem," Bram whispered.


The funeral was the next Saturday. It was held at a small chapel near the graveyard. Only close friends and family were invited. A few of Simon's high school friends came in town for it, and even some of Bram's immediate family.

As Victor exited the cemetery, he saw Benji was leaning against the fence that held the graveyard. "You came?" Victor asked.

"Yeah, I didn't come to the service because I felt like that would be intruding, but I was wondering if you would like to get dinner with me," Benji invited. "Just the two of us. My treat."

"I would love that, but everyone is coming over for dinner at our place tonight," Victor said. "You're more than welcomed to join us. We're going to have plenty of food. After gatherings like these, we always have a bunch of leftovers."

"You sure I wouldn't be intruding?" Benji asked.

"I'm sure," Victor said. Everyone then headed over to Bram's apartment separately. Benji blended into the crowd, so no one noticed the extra face. By the time they arrived there, the food was already ready.

Victor and Benji sat on the balcony. Everyone else was inside, and they wanted some privacy. "I'm pretty sure Derek is still not over the breakup," Benji said. "He keeps posting sad things about breakups on his Snapchat."

"I mean you're a catch so I can see why," Victor said. They then went back to eating dinner in silence. Once they were done, Benji reached for Victor's hand. Victor took it slowly.

"I was wondering if you'd like to go to the Valentine's Day dance with me?" Benji asked. "I've never been to a school dance before, but I heard that they're actually pretty fun."

"Of course," Victor said. "I would really like to go to the dance with you. School dances are a little overrated, but everyone should at least go to one in their school career. People say that's where all of the drama would go down, but I would know nothing about that."

Benji nodded and puts his plate down. They became caught up in the moment and Victor leaned in and kissed him.
