Hello. I recently found out that there is now an established My Babysitter's A Vampire category. I will be re-posting all of my MBAV stories in that category, but leaving this here. Okay. So thank you all for all of the great response this story has been getting. Not a single flame so far. :D I love all of you who favorited, subscribed, or reviewed. Some of you even added me as one of your favorite authors! Thank you! You're all so nice and I'm so glad that I have such nice people reading this story! And going back to that, how about we get back to the story, eh?

The prom was tonight. I was nervous and excited. Today I would bring Benny to the prom, and not as a friend, but as a date. And I would tell Erica and Rory about it, too. And I wouldn't care what they said, or how mean they were about it, because I loved Benny. I was going to ask him if he would be my boyfriend. I was hoping for a magical night.

No one could focus during class. Everyone was talking to each other about who they were taking, what they were wearing, who they wanted to nominate for prom king and queen. It was all chatter, and no learning. Not that I mind, because I was doing the same exact thing. Benny wasn't in this class with me, something we had both dreaded at the beginning of the year, but it had turned out okay. I was going home when school was over, and changing into my classic black tuxedo. I thought it looked a bit nerdy on me but I thought that about everything. I was sure Benny wouldn't say anything about it. We were both nerds, anyway.

He came over in his black tuxedo as well. He looks a bit unnerved. He was biting his lower lip and had hid hads behind his back, uneasily rising on his tip-toes every so often. I gave him a hug and a kiss when he entered my room. Friends, I could tell. Parents, were another story, though it seemed my dad somehow knew. Benny looked incredible. His hair looked wonderful, and his suit made him look handsome and slender, which he was. I couldn't even help staring at him for a moment.

"What is it, Ethan? Does the suit make me look stupid, or fat, or-"

"No, but it makes you looks sexy. You look, like, really sexy right now, Benny. Like, really sexy. You look completely super sexy. Oh, and you're hot, too. But that was implied. It fits you so well!" He seems a bit shocked at me calling him "sexy" I normally called him cute and such. Never hot or sexy, but it was really the only word that could completely describe how amazingly handsome he looked. I took his hand.

"Come on, Benny. We'll be late. Sarah's here in her car." He still looked bewildered, and a bit embarassed, and happy. He brushed a hair out of his face with his free hand.

"Okay."

We walked down the stairs, still holding hands for some reason. We must have forgotten to watch it downstairs. Mom practically attacked with the camera. Dad walked out of the kitchen. And walked right back in, eating out of his bowl of chips. Mom took a picture. Or six.

"Oh my gosh, you two look so cute! And you're holding hands! Awww! You're such good friends, and you're going to dance with the person of your dreams! You both look so handsome!" She put down the camera and pinched our cheeks.

"Remember to say goodbye to your father. He's in the kitchen." I nodded. I left Benny with my mother and went into the kitchen.

"Hey, Dad." He stopped eating for a moment.

"Hi. Hey, Ethan, could you do me a favor?" My face took on a wierded out and sort of curious look.

"Yeah?"

"If by some chance, something happens tonight...could you..make sure Benny is still able to walk? I mean, his grandma will ask questions, and it will turn into this whole thing and...just have fun... But not too much fun! Just..regular fun. Got it?" This was way more than awkward. I couldn't even think of a word to describe how awkward it was. I really didn't have any plans to do any of that, anyway. This was so awkward for me. But it was probably awkward for him, too.

"Yeah...sure. Erm, that was really awkward to say.." Benny walked in.

"What are you guys talking about? Sarah's here with the car." My dad spoke.

"Benny, just make sure to give me a status report on your ability to walk tomorrow, okay?" Benny looked really confused.

"O...kay..?" It was awkward for him, too. I tried to break way from this conversation.

"Hey, Benny, we're going to be late for the prom. Let's go. Bye, Dad." And with that, I opened the door and walked outside, to where Sarah's car was waiting. Rory and Erica weren't there, only us three. When we got in her didn't hesitate to ask how we were doing with our relationship.

"Hey, guys! How's it going? Have you two kissed yet?" We both blushed, and looked at each other.

"Hey, Sarah. It's going good. Um, yes, we have. More than once, actually. Benny's so cute, though. He's always blushing and stuff when I tell him he's cute, which ends up making him even cuter. He's so sweet, though."

"Good, good! And you, Benny?"

"Oh, it's been going very nicely. We..slept in the same bed together a few days ago." Sarah winked. Benny objected.

"No! Not like that, just..cuddling..and stuff."

"And stuff?" She said, laughing and winking once more. "I didn't know you could be so seductive, Benny..."

"It's..not..like..that. We just lay next to each other and snuggle, intertwine fingers and kiss. That's it. I lay my head in his chest, and we fall asleep." Sarah's eyes widened.

"Ethan's the man in the relationship? Holy..! That's so unexpected! I thought Benny would be the one to initiate kisses and stuff, but Ethan doing it, seems so out of character! Benny must be really shy, then. Like a shy, sweetheart. Wow." This only caused us to blush more. "Well, we're almost there. Oh, no. We are here. Whoops." We all got out of the car and walked into the school, heading for the gym. We saw Erica who looked sort of mad. She was standing with Rory, so it all made sense. Sarah joined Erica.

"Having fun, Erica?" She asked, happily. Erica turned, sounding angry.

"Not. Exactly. My date canceled so I had to take up this chump so I wouldn't look stupid, but I ended up looking a lot more stupid, so it really backfired. So, what are these dweebs doing?" We knew she was talking about us. "I mean, what dates could they possibly score. More love potion, perhaps?"

"Well..we've been meaning to talk to you about that, Erica." I leaned forward with my hands in my pockets. Benny looked at me, at look that said 'What are you doing?" but I looked back, and somehow answered his unspoken question. "Me..and Benny are sort of...here together.."

"Well, I can see that. I'm not blind."

"No, you don't get it.." Sarah took over.

"Ethan and Benny are here. As each other's dates. They cam together, because they're a pair. They're pretty much dating. They didn't tell you or Rory because they thought you'd be mad about it." Erica looked a bit taken aback.

"Mad? Why would I be mad?" She turned to Rory, who was busy getting punch and yelled. "HEY! You owe me 10 BUCKS!"

"What for?"

"I was right!" This conversation between the two blondes sparked a bit of confusion within us three, and a collective "HUH?" filled the air. Erica turned back.

"I knew it would happen sooner or later. You're both so blatantly gay. I mean, just look at Ethan's wimpy body. That is the body of a gay boy. And Benny wasn't getting any girls anytime soon, either. And who else would he be with but Benny, anyway?" Rory handed her the money. "Enjoy your day, you two lovebirds. See you, Sarah."

As Erica walked away, a slow song started. I peered at Benny. I held up my hand, and like every cliche romance movie I had ever been forced to sit through while Sarah was over, I asked "Could I have this dance?"

Benny smiled and nodded. He took my hand, and instead of holding it, placed it upon his back, which should've been his waist, but he was too tall for that to work. He rested his head on my shoulder lovingly, and just as we had waded in circles at my house the night before, we danced, in our own little world. I asked, while influenced by the atmosphere, as I had planned to ask.

"Benny..would you be my boyfriend?" I had never spoken what followed after Benny's name. Hearing it in my own voice, I realized it was a very odd question to hear, but not to Benny, not to us. His head fit in the space between my neck and shoulder.

"Of course. I will be your boyfriend, Ethan Morgan." With that, final, relieving statement, I broke from the dance and kissed him on the lips, in public. No one noticed, though. Everyone was busy fussing with their hair, their dress, their partner. Too wrapped up to notice the two scrawny guys kissing. I escalated it into something just a bit more. I would never go past this one sinful act, but..I developed the kiss into one with tongue. We were both blushing, Benny especially. He didn't fight back at all, just a little mingling. It was over fast. It might suit some couples, but it just wasn't us.

"I'm sorry."

"No, no. It was fine. We can't do stuff like that, I guess. We're just a sweet couple. I love you though, Ethan. You need not do anything but snuggle with me and kiss me softly. We're fine just like that."

He swayed in my arms for the rest of that magical night, and when we returned home, my dad appeared as quick as you could imagine.

"Benny! Can you walk?" Benny blushed and returned in a surprised tone.

"Yeah..why?"

"Just checking." He glared at me, and then continued. "And is all the saliva in your mouth yours? None of it is Ethan's? He didn't try anything, did he? Oh, gosh, his mother will freak out when she finds out..."

"No, it's all mine." He lied. I couldn't even imagine if Benny had told him of the split second when I had tried that.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm quite sure, yes."

"Good." He let out a sigh if relief. "Well, okay then. I'm off to bed. I trust you'll both be sleeping in Ethan's bed. If your mother comes in, I'm not saying anything. You're on your own. Night, boys." We both let out a weak "Night."

"Your dad..makes the most awkward statments. Ever. In history."

"I know, just put him at ease. He might freak out."

"How did he find out?"

"I don't know. I wonder what we might've done that set him off." In my wonder I bumped into Benny, triggering a vision, that was sent to his eyes, too.

I saw all the times Benny and I had fallen asleep, limbs tangled, and strewn about. That one time I pretended to ask Benny out, of couse I didn't actually wish to ask Sarah out, but I wasn't about to tell him that. The night when we layed together. That one time I feel asleep on top of Benny, that other time I accidentally touched my lips to his cheek. The hug I had given Benny as a joke, and the fake "I love you." that followed after. Which was true, but used as a joke in the context. And Dad had walked in one each of them.

Whe the vision ended, we both looked at each other and shook our heads.

"Nah." we said in unison, as we walked up to my bed where we fell asleep, cuddling and in supehero pajamas.
