…

He wasn't sure how this had happened.

Why had he agreed to this? He wasn't gay, not even a little bit!

And yet… He couldn't even think the words.

But he had to.

He was … dating Benny.

He knew Benny liked him, and he knew he was being a good best friend by doing this, but still…

He knew he would just end up hurting him in the end; Benny really liked him, and he was just kind of stringing him along.

How could he do this? Especially to Benny of all people!

He was a horrible best friend.

Correction: boyfriend.

How could he have thought this was a good idea?

As Ethan was wondering all of this, Benny practically bounced towards him, a huge smile on his face.

Oh yeah, that's how.

…

"Hi," Benny said, slightly uneasy with his friend – boyfriend.

"Hi," Ethan said, smiling a bit. "Did you go back home after yesterday?"

"Yeah. Grandma was glad to see me back in one piece."

"Good." The two were silent as the bell rung. "We should get going."

"Wait. E?"

"Yeah?"

"Canwegotothemoviestonight?" Benny rushed out the words, his face turning a dark red as he waited.

"Sure. That's what…boyfriend's do, isn't it?" A grin spread across Benny's face as it returned to its normal color.

"Great. Then, tonight?"

"Yeah, tonight." Benny smiled as he gave Ethan a quick hug; Ethan didn't miss the kiss that was placed against his hair before the taller of the two was gone, heading down the hallway. Ethan watched him, unease growing in him.

He didn't know if he could do this.

…

Benny was excited as he and Ethan made their way to the movies. He knew Ethan didn't like him [or so he said], and that he was only doing this for him, but he had a feeling Ethan wasn't being truthful. Ethan must have felt something, otherwise, why would he agree to date Benny in the first place, right?

So, Benny felt like maybe he should 'test the waters', so to speak and see what Ethan's real feelings really were.

As they entered the dark theater, Benny grabbed Ethan's hand and pulled him into the back row, his hand never leaving the other's as they sat and got comfy. Benny pulled his hand away finally, only to sling it over the back of the seats as the previews began to play. After a few minutes, he wrapped his other arm around Ethan's torso, successfully leaning down until his head was even with Ethan's neck.

Ethan gulped as he felt his friend's hot breath ghost over his skin. He squirmed a bit, but Benny had him on lockdown. He tried to solely focus on the movie, ignoring whatever his boyfriend was about to do.

As the movie progressed, Benny moved closer, planting a kiss on Ethan's shoulder to start off with; Ethan shivered, hoping Benny wouldn't notice.

But he did.

He moved closer, planting a kiss where neck and shoulder met, another shiver the response. Trying to keep his grin in check, he placed a kiss against the bottom of his neck, about to work his way up when Ethan wrenched himself free and stumbled from the movie theater. Benny sat there for a moment before he got up as well, following Ethan to where he stood against the wall.

"What was all that about?"

"I told you, if it got to be too much-"

"Why are you doing this Ethan?"

"Because it makes you happy."

"Do I look happy? Do I sound happy? YOU DON'T DATE SOMEONE TO MAKE THEM FUCKING HAPPY! YOU DATE THEM BECAUSE… because you like them." Ethan looked down at his shows at Benny's outburst. "Do you like me?"

"I'm not gay Benny." Benny moved away a bit and frowned.

"Then why put us through this? Why put me through this?"

"I'd do anything to make you happy B. If this is what would make you happy-"

"That's just it E. I'm not."

"What?"

"I'm not happy. I don't want to live a lie. Not with you. I want to date you, love you. But I can't have that if you don't feel the same." Ethan stared at Benny, unsure how he was feeling at his friend's words.

"So does that mean-"

"Yeah. Goodbye E." Benny briefly kissed him on the cheek before he walked away.

And Ethan let him go.

…

I know it was kinda short, but eh, that happens.

I'm debating if I want this to be the end or not…

Guess we'll see.

Thanks for reading.
