"Hey you." Benny stiffened at the voice but kept walking, ignoring the long strides of the boy walking next to him. "Oh come on, don't be like that." Benny shook his head and just kept moving. "Come on, just talk to me."

"There's nothing to talk about," Benny gritted out, making the other laugh as he continued to walk next to him. "Can't you just… leave me alone?"

"You know I can't do that."

"You can try."

"I've been trying. But I can't seem to stay away."

"Try harder."

"Benny, baby, don't be like that."

"One, don't call me that; two, when did you get so cocky?" Ethan just laughed and stopped in front of Benny, who frowned at him and went to step away; Ethan grabbed his arm and kept him close though.

"Benny."

"No Ethan. Just… what do you want?"

"You know the answer to that."

"I really wish I didn't." Benny jerked out of his grip and began to walk away. Ethan sighed and moved closer to him way too fast for his liking.

"Benny, Benny, Benny." Benny hated that voice. It was too warm, wrapping around him and sucking him into a world he did not want to enter.

"Don't do that."

"Why not? You like when I say your name. I can tell." Benny looked and finally met the dark eyes of one Ethan Morgan, his oldest friend and recent nightmare. To the untrained eye, Ethan looked normal enough; dark brown hair and dark brown eyes, pale complexion and slight stature. But Benny knew the truth. Where his friend once stood was now a stone-cold monster. From what he could see, the old Ethan was gone – that could be because he didn't allow himself to get too close to find out what he was like now. Ever since that fateful day, Ethan hadn't been himself and started treating Benny in a way neither one was ready for.

Or at least that's what he thought.

"Come on Benny. Ditch school and come hang out with me. You won't regret it."

"I don't think I'll live to," he muttered, not missing the grin Ethan gave him. He continued on, Ethan keeping up with his long legs too easily for his liking. "Can't you go bother someone else?"

"You know I can't." Benny just grit his teeth and knew, as much as he hated it, his friend was right.

…

~~Flashback~~

It had been another close call; a rogue vampire attack and Ethan had gotten bit once again.

But this time, Sarah refused to save him.

"I don't attack people."

"This isn't attacking people! This is saving Ethan!" Benny had cried at her words, looking at his pale friend who was hissing in pain at the blood-soaked bite that was on his arm. "Please Sarah. I don't ask for much from you but please. Save him."

"I can't. I'm sorry Benny. Maybe Rory or Erica can."

"Oh no, I'm not letting that boy's blood in my body. I won't stop," Erica said, giving him a shrug. "Sorry."

"Rory? Please?"

"I… I don't know if I can Benny."

"Rory please! He's your friend!" Rory fell to his knees and looked at the bloody arm of his friend.

"Benny…"

"Just try."

"It's too late," Sarah said as Rory was about to bite down onto Ethan's arm. He dropped it as they watched Ethan's eyes flutter and his body still.

"NO!" Benny sobbed, feeling as if something in him snapped and reformed as his friend stayed still. Something was shaking in him, drawing him nearer and farther all at the same time. In an anguished cry, he made himself get up and pull away from Ethan, who wasn't moving, yet seemed to be calling out to him all the same.

Ethan found him hours later, looking relatively the same for what had happened to him.

"Benny. There you are." His voice was different though. It was too warm, too seductive; nothing like the squeaky Ethan Benny once knew. "I was looking for you. Your grandma took care of me. I haven't attacked anyone. Although," he said, taking a deep breath and letting out a pleased sigh, "you do smell really good."

"Try anything and I'll zap your ass to Timbuktu." Ethan laughed and sat next to Benny, way too close for the mortal's liking. "What do you want?"

"What, I can't sit with my friend?"

"You might be in Ethan's body, but you're different. Just like them."

"Benny… don't worry about that. I'm still me."

"No you're not." Ethan trapped Benny's chin in his hand, bringing his face to look at his.

"Look at me. Do I look any different?"

"Yes and no. You might look like Ethan, but… you don't." Ethan frowned and moved a little closer, his voice growing deeper and warmer and there was that feeling again that made Benny want to get as far away as possible yet just move closer. "Get away from me!" Benny screamed, shooting himself back as far as the sparks could carry him. Ethan stared at him, a look crossing his face that made him look like the old Ethan, if only for a moment.

"You… and me…"

"What are you talking about?!"

"Don't you feel it?" Ethan asked, moving closer to him, looking all like the predator he was supposed to be now. "Don't you feel… this?" he asked, close enough now that he could touch Benny. Benny felt it and moved away again.

"Leave… leave me alone E. Don't… just don't." Benny went to flash away when Ethan said something that shook him to his core.

"You're my mate Benny. You can't deny what you feel. I know you feel it too." Benny just shook his head as he flashed away, feeling the anguish it caused him to pull away from Ethan.

~~End~~

…

Ethan followed Benny and stopped him before he could get too close.

"Give me a chance Benny. You know as well as I do that this… this is real. It can't be stopped."

"We can try to stop it."

"Benny," Ethan said, his voice growing deeper and warmer and damn it Benny was falling for it. "Just spend the day with me. The way we used to. Come on. I promise not to hurt you. Not in any way that you won't enjoy." Benny felt himself flush and pulled out of Ethan's grip.

"One day. That's all. Then this… this disappears."

"Whatever you say Benny… whatever you say."

…

Benny didn't know why he felt so jittery; he and Ethan had practically been attached at the hip ever since they were six. But now… things were different. Ethan watched him too intensely for his liking and was way too close.

And then Ethan was on him; no warning, just there. His hands tangled in Benny's hair as he pinned him under him.

"E…Ethan. Let me up."

"No Benny. I can't. Ever since I got bit-"

"I know," Benny said quietly, seeing the dark eyes he didn't want to see. "I felt it the minute you began to change. But we can't."

"Why not?"

"I don't want to be like you," Benny said quietly, feeling too vulnerable for his liking. Ethan frowned and ran his nose along Benny's, making him shiver

"I'm sorry about this Benny. I really am… but I can't stop feeling like this. You and I… you feel it don't you? We need to be together." Benny shook his head but Ethan kissed him, showing him how he felt.

And dammit, Benny felt it too.

With that one simple kiss he felt himself unravel. The months of immunity he worked to build up against Ethan were all gone in that moment. He felt too connected to be normal, and Ethan didn't seem to mind as they continued to kiss.

And then, it got worse. A burn began to build up in Benny's chest, aching for him to do more, feel more. Kissing wasn't enough for him now. His hands, which he wiggled away from Ethan's grasp, gripped at his clothes and wanted them off as soon as possible. Ethan must have felt the same way because too soon they were stripped of their clothes and were free to feel each other in a way that led them both to panting in mutual desire.

Then Ethan had dominated him, making him cry out in too much pain and not enough pleasure as he consumed him. No warning, no prepping. Just raw lust consumed them both to finish what they had been denying each other for so long. With much whimpering and pleasing sounds, they climbed together, feeling the connection that they knew they would never have with anyone else.

As Benny got closer though, his brain grew fuzzier, not sure what was going on anymore as he reached his end.

"I'm sorry for this Benny," Ethan whispered in his ear as they continued on, Ethan dominating each and every part of him, "But I can't live without you."

As Benny cried out in pleasure, Ethan bit him, causing his cry to soon turn to a scream of agonizing pain.

…
