Okay so this was just a crazy idea I got for this story. I hope it's good.

…

"Wait. What?" Benny was confused – which wasn't anything new to him, but this… this he just couldn't comprehend.

"I'm sorry B, but-"

"No. I mean… what?!"

"Benny. Deal with it. Girls don't like you very much and now guy's don't either. It's okay."

"B-b-but-"

"Benny. Nothing is different, right?"

"… Of course not E. But still-"

"Benny. Drop it okay? I'm not changing my mind on this. Sorry. Now I'm going to class. I can't afford to be tardy anymore."

Benny watched Ethan go, feeling uneasy about this whole thing. With a groan and a flailing of the arms, he ran after his friend so he wouldn't be late to class either.

…

Ethan could see Benny out of the corner of his eye, fidgeting as usual; but instead of the annoyed glares Benny would send at the teacher – hoping to get out of class early or anything – he was changing it up today. He was shooting Ethan looks every few minutes. Ethan took a deep breath before he rammed his elbow hard into Benny's side, making his friend gasp and make an 'oomph' sound before clutching his side, sending Ethan pained looks.

Ethan just ignored him.

A part of him was really beginning to regret the decision he had made that morning.

Flashback~

Today was the day. Today was the day that Ethan Morgan was going to stop lying to himself, and to the world.

Or at least that's what he told himself.

He'd start with baby steps first of course; that was the logical thing to do.

Which meant he'd start with Benny.

"Hey," Ethan said as he approached his best friend, who was digging around in his locker.

"Hey E, what's up?"

"Well, there's something I wanted to tell you."

"Oh? Everything okay? No monsters I hope. Please don't let it be monsters."

"It's not monsters. It's…about me."

"Well lay it on me then." Ethan had taken a deep breath and blown it out slowly before looking his friend in the eyes.

"I'm…gay."

One heartbeat, two; Ethan just saw a blank look in Benny's eyes before he blinked and smiled at Ethan.

"Okay."

"Okay?"

"Yeah. Okay." Benny closed his locker, swinging his bag over his shoulder as he did so. "You can relax now E. You look like you're ready to strangle a cat or something." Ethan laughed and felt his shoulders relax.

Benny had taken it really well; Ethan just hoped everyone else did too. But then, Benny's eyes lit up as he looked at Ethan.

"Hey E, you find guys attractive right?"

"That's typically what gay means, yes."

"Right. So, I am a guy."

"That you are…"

"Do you find me attractive?" Ethan had laughed and shook his head.

"You're not my type man."

"Ahhh okay…. Wait. What?!"

Ethan could still see Benny pouting out of his peripheral vision, but he wasn't going to give in. It wasn't his fault he didn't find Benny attractive that way. Benny was just Benny. His goofy weird best friend. He was surprised Benny had gotten so upset about the whole thing, but he wasn't concerned about that right now.

Right now, he just worried about who he'd tell next.

…

"How can I not be your type?" Benny asked as they walked to their next class.

"Benny just shut up. Why's it bother you?"

"Because I'm funny, I'm smart, I'm charming, and don't forget incredibly handsome. How can I not be your type?"

"One, you're not gay. Two, you're just not."

"But I'm like the perfect guy." Ethan stopped and looked at Benny, a fierce look in his dark eyes that shook Benny out of his stupor of annoyingness.

"B. You're my best friend. You wouldn't be if I didn't like all those things you just listed – minus the handsome part. I just… I don't see you that way. You just have to accept that."

Benny just stared at Ethan, mouth open to argue; but no words came. Ethan nodded, believing he got his point across, and made his way to class, Benny following silently behind him.

…

When lunch rolled around, Benny was still moping internally; Ethan could only shake his head and got up. Benny watched him before he slumped into his seat and began to make a mashed potato fort.

"Hey Ror," Ethan said as he left the cafeteria, bumping into the hyperactive blonde.

"Hey E. What's up?"

"Not much… what are you doing?" Ethan asked, noticing how the blonde was slowly slinking around the corner of the hallway, as if stalking something.

"Hunting."

"Dude!"

"Not people! Someone let a squirrel into the school hallway. I'm trying to catch him!"

"Oh… well that's okay I guess." Rory grinned at him, fangs glinting in the light a bit. "You might want to put those away before someone sees." Rory nodded and retracted his fangs before standing up, frowning.

"The squirrel is gone," he said, a pout coming to his face before he whirled on Ethan, giving him a wide grin. "Oh well. I'll eat later. What's on your mind E?"

"…Nothing…"

"Uh-huh. I might not be the brightest crayon in the toolbox, but I am a vampire. I can smell your… whatever is wrong with you, all the way over here."

"Well… just…. Nevermind."

"Come on Ethan. Talk to Rory. You want a vampire hug?"

"And get bruised ribs again? No thanks."

"I'll be extra gentle," Rory said, wiggling his eyebrows. Ethan gave in and let the blonde hug him, wincing at the pain that came with it. "See, wasn't that just what you needed?" Ethan nodded, a cynical smile on his face but a light blush to his cheeks. Rory grinned and ran a hand through his hair, tousling it up playfully as he stepped closer to Ethan. "So… you wanna come hunting with me tonight?"

"I don't hunt. Or fly."

"We can walk." Ethan was debating it before he felt a presence over his shoulder; Rory's eyebrows shooting up was a dead giveaway of who it was.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Benny cried, gripping Ethan's arm and whirling him to face him. Ethan's face was blank as Benny glared at him. "Please tell me I'm reading too much into this."

"Into what, B?"

"…THIS! What the hell was just going on between you two!"

"What?" Rory asked, oblivious as always. "Hey Benny, you wanna come hunting with me tonight too?" Benny just looked at Benny, his eye twitching a bit before he turned back to Ethan.

"This idiot? Really?"

"Benny-"

"PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE KIDDING!" Ethan could only groan in frustration and move past Benny.

"I'm not talking about this with you anymore." He turned and walked away then, leaving a slightly floaty Rory and an agitated Benny behind.

…

Ethan ignored Benny for the rest of the day. He didn't want to see the accusation in Benny's eyes. Why did he care if he wanted to hang out with Rory? Why did it bother him so much that he didn't find him attractive? It wasn't his fault!

Sure, Benny had those boyish good looks and that goofy charm that Ethan enjoyed to an extent, but would be ever be interested in Benny?

Not enough to try anything.

Why was that so bothersome to his friend?

He just shook his head as he went to his room; he hadn't even waited for Benny after school like he usually did.

"Ethan! Your dad and I are going out and Jane is going to a friend's house."

"Okay!"

"Oh, and Benny's here!" Ethan jerked up from his bed, from where he had been, and stared at his door as he heard the front door slam.

He waited, and then Benny was there.

"Why are you here?"

"I want to talk to you."

"Benny, I don't want to have this conversation again."

"Just… hear me out E. Please?" Ethan nodded and scooted over so Benny could sit next to him. Benny took a deep breath and looked at his hands.

"Don't go out with Rory tonight."

"You can't tell me what I can and can't do Benny."

"Ethan. Please. I could totally tell Rory was flirting with you earlier."

"Was he?" Ethan asked, completely oblivious of this.

"Yes! And I'm not gonna sit by while you get suckered into the vampire lifestyle."

"What's really bothering you? Is it cuz I'm gay?"

"No! I DON'T CARE THAT YOU'RE GAY I JUST DON'T WANT YOU OUT WITH ANYONE ELSE!"

"Why not? Why is this bothering you?"

"I… don't know."

"Benny… do you like me?"

"What?! I like the ladies E."

"Then why is this bothering you? I mean, you're not my type but-"

"I can be your type!" Benny cried out, making Ethan's eyebrows shoot up in surprise.

"B…"

"I think I need to go home," Benny said, standing up quickly. Ethan grabbed his hand and pulled his back down next to him.

"Close your eyes Benny."

"Why?!"

"Just trust me." Benny nodded and let his eyes close. Ethan moved to him and pressed his lips to his; Benny kissed back instantly, his hands coming up to Ethan's hair, twisting in the strands and pulling Ethan closer to him. Ethan steadied himself on Benny's legs, pushing so he could get his taller half to fall back on the bed, Ethan hovering over him.

They finally parted for breath, Benny looking confused at how he got like this.

"Anything you'd like to say?"

"…I'm confused."

"Yeah, that can happen."

"Yeah."

And Benny kissed him again, one hand leaving Ethan's hair and moving it down to run up under Ethan's shirt, enjoying the feeling of his friend's skin way too much to be straight anymore. And it didn't bother him nearly as much as he thought it would. And then, Ethan bit his lip while kissing him and he almost lost it.

Groaning, he pulled himself from Ethan's lips.

"What the hell has gotten into you?" he asked, breathing heavy as Ethan chuckled and sat up, his crotch resting comfortably on Benny's.

"Trying to help you along. I need to meet Rory still…"

"FUCK NO," Benny said, pulling Ethan down and lifting up so he could rub against him. "Not tonight." Ethan grinned and bit Benny's lip again, making him groan as he grabbed Ethan tightly and pressed him against him.

"You're still not my type."

"I can change that I think."

Ethan laughed and slipped a hand down Benny's stomach, his fingers scraping lightly over the warm skin, making Benny shiver before the fingers teased lightly at the edge of his pants.

"Can I?" Benny nodded, shaky and haggard before Ethan deftly undid the button and zipper, his hand snaking down there and fingers grazing the rapidly hardening length of his friend. Benny's head fell back when those fingers wrapped around him and began to tease him, up and down, up and down.

"Ughhh," was about as of intelligent statement he could muster as the rhythm grew faster and stronger against him. "E…" Ethan chuckled as he leaned forward and captured Benny's lip between his teeth, biting softly.

Benny exploded into Ethan's hand with a garbled cry. As Ethan got up to wash off his hand – because even if he was gay, that was still gross to an extent – Benny lied there, panting before he rolled over and put himself back together.

"So, am I still not your type?" he asked once his heart beat went back to normal. Ethan shook his head as he got back to the bedroom.

"We'll see."

…

Geez this was long to write. I hope it was a little interesting.

Thanks for reading though.
