Sorry for the wait, things have been hectic (and I've been lazy :D )

Okay this chapter is for Hannah, who requested this storyline. I hope it is what you wanted.

Enjoy.

…

Benny and Ethan were browsing the comic book store, looking for any rare comics that always seemed to get mixed up in the regulars. Even though they were 18 and seniors in high school, that didn't stop the love for comic books the two had collected over the years.

"A Superman original, number 1," Benny whispered when he saw the sleek-covered comic book; he went to reach for it the same time another person did.

"Sorry about that," the guy said, stepping back so Benny could grab it. "I just can't believe they have one here."

"I know… these are rare."

"That they are. I'm Michael," the guy said, sticking out his hand. Benny shook it and smiled at the guy for only a minute, taking him in before he looked back at the comic book. He was taller than Benny – which didn't happen often; Benny had sprouted up even more since sophomore year – and had black hair that was wavy and longer than most guys, curling around his ears and the nape of his neck; his eyes were a dark brown, very similar to Ethan's. That reminded him…

"I need to show this to someone," Benny said, turning quickly and leaving the guy there, not bothering to introduce himself. The guy watched him go and shrugged before turning and leaving the store, not before catching a glimpse of Benny with his arm around Ethan, their heads close together as they fawned over the comic book.

...

Monday at school, Benny was telling Rory all about the comic book when he felt a shadow pass over him. Looking to his side, he caught sight of the guy from the comic book store.

"Michael!" he called, making the guy look up and instantly smile at him before walking over to him.

"The guy from the comic store. Hey," he said, making Benny a little uncomfortable with the way he was staring at him. He coughed a bit and smiled again.

"I'm Benny."

"Good to have a name to match to the face."

"Right. Anyway… you go here?"

"Just started today."

"Oh, well I would show you around, but I'm kind of a nerd-"

"Dude, we met at a comic book shop, remember?"

"Oh, right! Well then, let's go. I'll show you around. I'll see you later Rory."

"Bye…" he said, watching them walk away, the guy's eyes focused solely on Benny.

"This should be interesting," Rory thought as he turned to walk away, bumping into Ethan, who happened to watch the two teens walking away together.

"Who's that?"

"New kid," he muttered, not missing the glowering look that passed over Ethan's face before it fell blank and he turned, leaving down the hallway from which he came.

"Oh yeah, interesting indeed."

…

When lunch rolled around and Benny approached with the new guy, Ethan felt himself boil over with hatred; which was weird – it wasn't something he felt very often.

He just got up and left his uneaten lunch behind. Benny watched him in surprise before dropping his own tray on the table as Michael sat down.

"What was that about?"

"I have no idea."

…

After school was the next time Benny caught up with a sulky Ethan, who was avoiding him it seemed. Benny had said goodbye to Michael, who happened to live one block over so they had parted at the corner with Michael thanking Benny for a great first day. When he began to walk down his own block, he recognized the hunched figure of his best friend, who was walking in front of him.

"E!" Ethan stiffened and then quickened his pace, not wanting to see Benny; but Benny was taller, and therefore had longer legs. He was caught up with him in a second. "I feel like I haven't seen you all day. What's up with you today?"

"Nothing," Ethan said, shrugging out from under Benny's oncoming arm. Benny stood there, arm still in midair as he watched Ethan.

"Why are you lying to me?" he asked, following him now. Ethan shook his head and went to his house, Benny still behind him.

"Go home Benny. I don't want to see you today."

With that, he slammed the door in Benny's very confused face.

…

Benny came over later with a stack of movies and Ethan's favorite candy; Ethan's mom didn't even bat an eye when she let him in. He heard her say they were about to leave and Ethan was watching Jane tonight, and he just nodded.

He only wanted to make Ethan not mad at him. He had called Rory, who had told him what was up with his friend.

Ethan was jealous.

Which was silly; Ethan was the only one for him, didn't he know that?

Obviously not; which was why he was here, loaded up and ready.

In more ways than one.

…

Ethan wasn't surprised when Benny walked into his room. He was lying on the bed, a comic book in his hands; the same comic book that started all of this it seem.

"Go away."

"Nope," Benny said, dropping his pile of goodies on Ethan's desk. "When Jane goes to sleep, we've got some stuff to do." Ethan quirked an eyebrow and sat up, throwing the comic book onto his side table.

"What do you mean?"

"I think you know exactly what I mean." Ethan shook his head and looked away, his face turning red from what his friend was implying. "Oh come on. You know you're it for me E."

"I know."

"Then why'd you get jealous?" Ethan shrugged and Benny laughed before pouncing on him, his full weight landing on him, knocking the air out of Ethan.

"Geez when'd you get so fat?"

"Hey!" Ethan laughed and found himself caught up in Benny, who only pulled away after a few minutes. "More later. Right now, we gotta watch your little sister."

"Fine."

…

When Jane was finally asleep, Benny found himself dragged up to Ethan's room.

"So, about that stuff… I'm guessing it's the stuff that we've only done a couple of times?"

"Yeah… And well… if you wanted to top…" Benny said, not looking at Ethan, who began blush at the thought.

"Oh-Okay."

"Okay?"

"Yeah." They smiled at each other and put one of their cheesy superhero movies on for some background noise before Benny pulled Ethan close to him.

"You know you're my favorite, right?"

"I know."

"Good. Don't get jealous again. I don't like knowing that you're upset over me."

"No promises. Just like you get jealous over Sarah-" Benny growled at her name and Ethan laughed.

"Shut up."

…

Ethan found himself consumed by Benny before the taller of the two was pulling Ethan up into a siting position. Ethan had to take a deep breath as he realized what his friend was doing.

Ethan knew that if people knew what they did when they were alone, questions would be raised about their 'friendship'.

But neither boy thought much about what they were doing – it was just something they did, like playing video games or battling monsters.

So when Benny was fully wrapped around Ethan and they began to rock together in a slow, tantalizing momentum, it wasn't anything that would give them second thoughts.

And when Benny's mouth found Ethan's in desperate kisses to get the point that he was who Benny wanted, Ethan knew that getting jealous was a silly thing in the first place.

Because when his fingers found purchase in Benny's skin, digging just hard enough to elicit a groan from him that caused him to move in Ethan's lap that left the darker-haired boy with a moan and his head titled back, it really was all worth it in the end.

Then there was a warm mouth biting his neck and he ended up falling back, his hands gripping Benny's hips to keep him from falling on top of him. Instead, Ethan used the grip to his advantage, beginning a slow, deep rhythm that made Benny bury his head in Ethan's shoulder to keep himself from being too loud.

Ethan moved one hand from Benny's hip to wrap around him; Benny always did that for him, and he would make sure to return the favor. Every time Ethan would move, his hand would move in the same way, causing Benny to let out a deep breath he had been holding before once again biting Ethan's neck, making sure to leave a mark on the slighter boy.

As Ethan's movements got a little more erratic, so did his hand, and so did Benny, who began to almost bounce in Ethan's lap to help them reach their peak together in a body-shaking crescendo.

And they did; it crashed over them in waves, shaking them both until one collapsed on the other. With a grunt, they rolled over so their bodies could disconnect and they could catch their breath.

"Now… do you believe…me?" Benny asked as he took deep gulping breaths between words. Ethan just nodded as he looked at the mess Benny had made on them both.

"Shower?"

"Shower."

…

"I fucking knew it," Rory muttered; he was perched on a tree two houses from Ethan's house; logically, no one should be able to see into Ethan's window.

But Rory could.

Oh, how he'd have fun teasing them about this tomorrow.

…

Okay, so this was my last request! Which means the next chapter will be the last I think! I have one more idea that I wanna try.

So, enjoy it while it lasts!

I'll see ya'll next time.
