…

"Unbelievable," Benny muttered as he followed Ethan out to the snowy world. "How come we have to do this?" Ethan just rolled his eyes and got into the car.

"Shut up and just get in," is all he said, starting the car and clearing the windshield of all snow.

"Why do we hafta go though?" he whined, getting in and placing his hands against the heaters, waiting for it to warm up. Ethan just rolled his eyes again and started up the car. "It's like a freakin' blizzard out here!"

"Benny, I'm saying this in the nicest way possible, but shut up." Benny just made a face at him as they began to drive.

"I just don't see why we have to go get your stupid girlfriend ice cream, pickles, and potatoes at…" he paused, glancing at his phone to check the time, "11 at night."

"Well sorry I got her pregnant," Ethan threw back, making Benny smirk.

"Honestly didn't think you had the balls to do that," he barked out, laughing. Ethan playfully pushed him as he continued driving.

"You didn't have to come with me a-hole. I'm perfectly fine driving by myself." Benny eyed him and laughed.

"Then why'd you call me?" Ethan shrugged as they drove up to the convenience store.

"Closed!" Ethan cried out when he saw the sign on the door. "What the hell? I thought this was a 24-hour store?!"

"Apparently not anymore." Ethan groaned and pulled out his phone, quickly dialing his girlfriend's number.

"What do you want?" Ethan rolled his eyes; her pregnancy hormones made her such a bitch sometimes.

"Hi sweetie."

"Don't sweetie me dickweed. Where's my food?"

"The store is closed."

"Well then I guess you'll just have to keep driving until you find an open one won't you?" She hung up then, making Ethan bang his head against the steering wheel.

"That sounded pleasant," Benny said, making Ethan shoot him a death glare before he started up the car again and began to drive. "Where we going now?"

"The next town is about 30 miles away. I've got enough gas to get us there."

"You seriously let her push you around too much." Ethan shrugged and ignored Benny, who decided to keep talking. "I mean it. Ever since you began dating her… you were in too deep and she was way over her head. Do you even see how she treats you? I doubt that kid is even yours dude. She was just such a bit-" Benny was cut off as Ethan swerved off the road, pulling to a stop, his dark eyes piercing into Benny's as he killed the car.

"Don't you ever say a bad word about her again, you hear me? She's my girlfriend, carrying my child, and someday she will be my wife. So shut the fuck up." Benny blinked, his mouth open slightly as he looked into the angry eyes of his friend.

"You know I'm right though, don't you? Is the kid even yours E?" Ethan, his chest rising in anger, didn't answer his friend. "We've been friends for 17 years; since we were 6 years old. You've never gotten this pissed at me, even when I complained about Sarah back in high school. Why is this time different?" Ethan shook his head and looked at the windshield, not turning the car back on yet. "E." Ethan shook his head, ignoring the click of a seatbelt unbuckling. He felt a gloved hand come down on his shoulder. "I'm sorry E. I shouldn't have said that." Ethan shrugged and gave Benny a grim smile.

"I know you're sorry, but you meant it, didn't you? You don't think the kid is mine."

"Well…"

"I don't either," Ethan said, his voice shaking as he admitted this. "We slept together once. It was awful, and we used a condom. I know the chances of that kid being mine are slim to none."

"Then why did you go along with this if you didn't think so?"

"Part of me was still in love with her. You know she was the only girl to really show any interest in me. I just… kinda hung onto that. I know she was awful to me. Hell, she still is."

"But?"

"I don't know. I guess we should just keep going." Ethan went to start the car, but nothing happened. All he got was a sound.

Click-click.

Still nothing; he tried again and again, only getting the click-click over and over again.

"You've got to fucking kidding me," he moaned, resting his head against the steering wheel. "Unfuckingbelievable."

"So we're stuck here, in the blizzard, about… 20 miles from town."

"Yup."

"Fuck."

"Yup."

…

Only about 15 minutes had passed, but it was enough to make the two adults in the car shiver with cold. Ethan had called his car insurance company –he was lucky he had gotten roadside assistance- but they said they couldn't come out there for at least 2 hours and would call him when they were on their way.

They'd be frozen by then, he was sure.

"Fuck-k-king bliz-z-zard," Benny got out through chattering teeth, pulling his jacket closer around him; although he and Ethan were both dressed for cold weather –jackets, scarves, gloves, and beanies- it wasn't enough in the slowly freezing car.

"May-maybe we should make a r-run for it," Ethan got out, huddling against himself.

"W-we'd ne-ne-never make it." Ethan gave a jerky nod, knowing his friend was right. "May-may-m-maybe we'll fre-freeze; th-then you won't have to g-go back to h-her."

"F-funny," Ethan said, shaking his head.

"W-wait… did-didn't we learn about therm-thermal ex-xchange in hi-high school?"

"Body heat," Ethan got out, stopping his teeth from chattering enough to actually say something.

"Wh-what?"

"Bo-body heat. Ge-get in the b-backseat."

"I'm fl-fla-flattered E, bu-but I s-see you as only a f-friend." Ethan shook his head and used some strength to weakly push Benny.

"Ju-just do it you id-idiot." Benny mugged for him and then scrambled into the backseat, shaking the whole time. Ethan followed him and scooted close, his body flush up against the taller of the two.

"Wh-whatcha do-doin' the-there E?"

"Body he-heat. Will w-warm u-us up." Benny, although his brain was frozen, still knew better than to doubt Ethan- he was the smartest person he knew after all. He moved closer to Ethan and felt his still slightly smaller than him best friend curl himself around him.

Benny was thouroughly surprised - he was slightly warmer.

"St-still cold." Ethan nodded and moved, pulling his beanie off, ripping off his scarf and shrugging out of his jacket. "E…" Ethan shook his head and then began to rid Benny of the same items before he launched himself at him, burrowing himself into the chest of his friend.

Without the bulky winter clothes, Benny could easily feel Ethan's hot breathe through his shirt. He wound his arms around Ethan and stretched out as much as he could, the two of them huddled in the backseat.

"E?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm cold."

"Me too. But we're not chattering anymore."

"True." They sat there, huddled, their breathing slowly returning to normal before Benny pushed Ethan away. "Idea," is all he said, stripping off his shirt and tossing it onto the floor of the car. Ethan understood and pulled his off too. They huddled back together, their cold skin meeting together, creating a friction that made them shake.

They stayed that way though, unmoving, only the sounds of their freezing breathing to comfort them. Their legs had gotten intertwined and their bodies were closer than they had ever been; they laid there, Ethan's head against Benny's shoulder, his eyes drooping closed. Benny saw this and shook him.

"E. Don't sleep."

"Whynot?" he slurred out, clearly already on the edge of sleep.

"Too cold." Ethan nodded, knowing Benny was right; he opened his eyes to see Benny's own green ones locked onto him. He stared at him; his mind was gone, taken over by the cold. He wasn't thinking straight, he knew that.

He kissed him; he leaned up and pressed his cold, already beginning to shiver lips against the surprised ones of his friend.

He expected anger, or even a joke to pave the experience over; instead, he got a kiss back. Benny's lips pressed harder against his, returning what Ethan's freezing mind had thought was a good idea at the time.

Benny pressed himself closer, their lips barely parting as their bodies began to rub against each other. There was more warmth spreading through them now than before.

Either from the bitter cold or their sudden passion, they were quick in what they did.

Still, without breaking the kiss – their lips barely pulling away to gulp in dry cold air that burned their throats – their wiggled their bodies together, blindly searching for heat to warm their still freezing bodies. With numb fingers they shed each other of their shoes and pants as well as their boxers.

Finally, their chapped lips pulled away from the other and they took in gulps of freezing, bitter air. Their skin, growing colder by the minute, was pressed against each other, their eyes locked. Benny looked down and found a semi-full water bottle on the floor. He kissed Ethan again while he poured the cold water over his fingers; it was the best he had to work with.

Ethan yelled when fire consumed his whole body; it was Benny, forcing himself into him in one movement. A passionate fire raced through them, warming from the core and out, shaking them as they moved.

It was quick, hard, a desperate plea for warmth and maybe something else they didn't want to quite admit yet. Benny's fingers dug into Ethan's chilled skin hard enough to leave bruises; Ethan's blunt nails scraped against Benny's back and shoulders, leaving red marks that crisscrossed on his skin. With forceful movements, they rocked together, causing friction that burned their skin where it touched.

As soon as it had started, it was over; they were crying out together, their bodies burning now as they released together, the sticky warmth burning the cold of their skin. Their breathing was ragged and they were shaking as they laid there together.

Ethan kissed Benny again, knowing that that was what had started this in the first place; Benny still kissed back; their skin, although still cold, was slowly getting warmer.

As they caught their breath, Ethan heard a loud blaring sound shake through the car. With a shaky hand, he grabbed his phone and answered it.

Roadside assistance was finally on their way.

…

Within the hour, they were finally outside their respective homes, just staring, not getting out of the car yet.

"So… we should talk about this." Ethan nodded, but didn't look at Benny. "We had sex E."

"No. That wasn't sex. We…fucked," Ethan said, his throat raw as the words passed through. Benny smiled at him and nodded.

"Okay then… so…what do we do about it?"

"Nothing. I have a girlfriend."

"Yeah, good luck keeping this from her." Ethan rolled his eyes and actually smiled as he leaned forward, closer to Benny.

"You're a jerk Benny."

"I'm your jerk E," he said as he shot him a cheeky grin. Ethan had to laugh and lean closer so they could kiss again.

"I hate you."

"No you don't." Benny said before he captured Ethan's lips again.

…

Not my best, but I tried… that's gotta count for something.

Thanks for reading anyways though!
