You'd Never Guess That Evil Would Win One Day

Chance, Need, And Worry

~3rd Person's P.O.V.~

Benny was sent to his room after he was done crying, with permission to put his clothes back on. Half an hour later, he was called out.

Jesse was shaking. The nervousness ringing through him was too much. He rung out his hands, wiped them on his pants, fixed his hair, whatever he could as fast as he could, trying to make himself look as sleek and calm as possible.

Benny came out and looked around. The house was... normal. The Greek setting was gone. It was mortsl looking, to say the least. Benny tried not to appear too surprised. Finally, he looked at him.

"What?"

"Ermm..." Jesse started impressively. "I..."

Benny raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms, impatient.

"Sit." He said, plopping down on the couch in the living room. He was getting annoyed at himself. It's one simple question! He thought. Spit it out!

Benny sat down on the very edge and end of the couch, ready to bolt if Jesse tried anything. Jesse was silent. Benny didn't question.

Jesse swallowed his fear and said, "What do you feel like doing right now?"

"What?" Benny asked, beweildered.

"I want to do something. But I don't know what. So what do you wanna do?"

"Umm... are you serious?" Benny asked. But one glance at the vampire told him Jesse didn't wanna hurt him; because he looked frightened.

"Yes."

"Well..." He turned to Jesse. "Er... H-how about a movie?" Jesse seemed to try to smile, but he seemed too nervous.

"Yes. Perfect. A movie. What do you have in mind? I have Netflix, so..." Jesse picked up the remote and handed it carefully to Benny. He took it and took his time selecting one. Finally, he settled on an action movie.

About a quarter way through, Benny relaxed. Jesse was still tense. They still sat pretty far apart, but Benny was curious. He moved about half a foot closer to Jesse. He gasped under his breath, then tensed more.

"Is my blood tempting you?" Benny asked quietly.

"That's not it, though." Jesse seemed to be answering himself. Benny's cheeks heated up.

They stayed like that for the rest of the day. Every movie they watched, Benny moved closer to Jesse. After Benny scooted closer, Jesse would loosen up half an hour later.

At dinnertime, Jesse went out to buy food for Benny, and made what his requested for dinner.

"Omigosh, it's perfect!" Benny said around a mouthful of homemade chicken noodle soup. Jesse said across from him with a styrofoam cup. Benny didn't ask what it was. He would loose his appitite if he dwelled on it. And the soup was too good to be forgotten.

"I'm glad you like it." Jesse said with a smile. "I'm not much of a cook."

"After this, I find it hard to believe." Jesse seemed flattered.

After this, they settled down and played card games until Benny was yawning. Jesse decided to let the boy sleep.

"Can you sleep in my room tonight?" Jesse asked.

"What?" Benny's eyes widened in surprise.

"I won't be in there. You can sleep in my room if you would like it better."

"Um.. sure. Thanks." Benny, with that, left to his room.

It was a big room, with a big bed a a big TV. There was a desk in the corner with a couple crumpled papers. At first, Benny started toward them, then stopped.

"That's none of my business." Benny mumbled. He laid down, but after a while, he realized he couldn't sleep. He called for Jesse.

"What's wrong?" He asked as he came in.

"I... I can't sleep."

Jesse started laughing, then stopped slowly. "Are you serious?" Benny nodded. The other sighed.

"Alright, um... what do you want me to do then?"

"Lay with me." Was he response. Jesse was shocked, as was Benny. That was the first response that came out, because Ethan would lay with him when he couldn't sleep.

"Umm... really?" Jesse squeaked, then cleared his throat.

"Yes. The way you have been." Benny said before he could stop himself. Jesse said nothing, but stood there a moment before he did so. He climbed in the bed with him andwrapped his arms around his waist.

"Like this?" Jesse asked, spooning the other. Benny nodded, and relaxed.

"Benny, can I tell you something personal?"

"Uh... sure."

"I... I also, just wanted someone to love me. That's why I agreed to my part of the plan. So someone would be close to be. So I thought I'd have a chance."

Benny was quiet for a while. "What plan? Can you tell me about it?"

"How about I tell you in the morning, kay?"

Benny sighed and nodded. It only took him mere minutes after that to fall asleep.

When he did, Jesse got up slowly, and left, with one look back.

"I really like you." Jesse said under his breath.

~Ethan's P.O.V.~

When I finished crying, my head was throbbing. So I slept it off. I woke up when it was dark outside. Great, now I'll have a screwed up sleeping time...

Wait. where's Ben?

I looked everywhere. Every room, every nook and cranny, no he was the couch, and I fell aleep before I realized.

Sorry, not much to do with Ethan for now. But you'll see... ;) ~TrampledRose
