Benny's P.O.V

Something about Ethan's arms made me feel so safe. I couldn't help it. I was too far gone once we would lay down on his bed and he would wrap his arms around me. I feel gentle, and shy around him. I don't know why, but he makes me blush uncontrollably. He's the leader of the relationship. He initiates most of the kisses and hugs. I love him equally, though. I love his warm, soft, kisses, and his gentle hugs. His face is so sweet, and he's so nice. He makes me show a whole 'nother side. He makes me show that soft, shy side I had back when I was little. When I was socially awkward. He's so lovely, though. He's so sweet and he doesn't push me to do anything or even suggest it. There's just sweet kisses and loving hugs. There's just me falling asleep on his chest and curling up with him in his bed. I love Ethan so much.

Ethan's P.O.V

Benny seems so content in my arms. He looks so safe and secure, comfortable and snuggly. He's like a kitten, all soft and cute. At school, we know better. We clean up our act and pretend we're just friends. It hurts a bit, to hide from Rory and Erica, but it's okay. Erica would definetely tease. I don't know about Rory. We'll tell them sometime. The dance is coming up. Perhaps then. Maybe then I'll ask Benny to the prom and not care what anyone else thinks. Just enjoy our love.

Benny goes back to normal when we're around other people. I know it sounds cliche, but I just love that there's..a side of Benny no one gets to see. A shy, adorable, awkward, side just for me. He still fumbles with his fingers when he gets embarassed or doesn't know what to say. I giggle and hold him close.

"I love you, Benny." He blushes, and can't find words.

"I..I love you too, Ethan. You make me so.." He whispers the last word. "Happy." Still messing with his fingers. I pull him close and kiss his head, pulling him into a hug.

"You're just too freaking adorable for your own good, Benny." He continues to blush, but he just rests his hands on my arms,

I turn to Benny, when we're alone.

"Hey, Benny..would you like to practice slow dancing for the prom later?" He smiles shyly, hugging me quick.

"Of course. I would love that." Close proximity, with the one I love, by ourselves. Romantic? Yes. It seemed like such a sweet thing.

"Okay, then we'll do it after school."

"Where?"

"In my room. We'll have room, don't worry."

"Okay. See you." He waves and smiles wide.

When we get to my house, Benny looks apprehensive. He looks nervous and he keeps looking down.

"Benny. Something wrong?"

"Um. I'm not so good at dancing..."

"That's why we're practicing, Love." I escalated to a pet name for Benny. "Love" seemed appropriate. I walked over to turn on the slow dancing music. I returned to Benny, who was still blushing at the newly acquired pet name I had chosen for him. I took his hands and placed them around my waist. I pulled him close, and he lay his head on my shoulder, as we gently swayed in relaxing circles. A few minutes in, he mumbled.

"This is nice..I can't wait for prom..."

"Me neither.." He rose off my shoulder and looked at me. He leaned in for a kiss. Silk met velvet. We kissed, our fingers intertwined. still swaying to slow beats coming from CD player. We fell asleep in a similar position, awaiting prom night.

Dad's P.O.V

I walked into Ethan's room to collect laundry, hoping that maybe, just maybe, everything would be okay this time. I slowly creaked open the door. I said in a hushed voice as I looked at the scene before me.

"Oh, Damn it!" I closed the door, and walked out.

Okay, so I haven't left any notices until now. First, I do not own this series. AT ALL. Second, ^.^ Thank you all so much for all of the nice reviews! 3 I love all of you, and I'm sure you all love Benny/Ethan. What's been your favorite moment with them so far? My personal favourite is still the day when he defended Ethan against those jocks, in both the flashback and the current time. I love them so much. I just think they're so cute togther, even from the first minute I saw them. Check out the show on Disney, so they know the ratings are good, even if they're already planning on another season. Can't be too careful, eh? (And check out: Smells Like Trouble on YouTube or something. It has the most slashy Benny/Ethan moments of any of the other episodes) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE GOOD RESPONSES FROM EVERYONE. I LOVE YOU GUYS! :D 3 A new story was posted. Check it out, please :3
