I hope this is sufficient enough for ya'll.

Six Months Later:

Ethan sat next to Rory, staring in contempt at Benny, who sat two rows ahead of him and three seats to his left; next to him sat a slight, dark-haired boy with blue eyes and an impish grin as he smiled at something Benny said to him. They laughed together, both looking extremely happy before they snuck in a quick kiss. Ethan grimaced and turned away.

"Dude, why's it bother you?" Rory asked, drinking from a dark-colored thermos, his lips redder from the liquid inside.

"That's gross," is all Ethan said, indicating what the blonde was doing. "Geez couldn't you do that not in school?"

"I didn't get to hunt last night because I was at your place all night listening to you bitch about Benny while we played video games." Ethan just shrugged and stared at Rory, who grinned. "Just admit it, you like Benny."

"I'm not like that," Ethan said, staring down at his paper as he tried to ignore Benny.

Ever since their brief 'dating' episode and their inevitable break-up, he and Benny had ceased to be 'Ethan-and-Benny' and just became 'Ethan' and 'Benny'. Instead of one single entity in two bodies, they were now two single people with no contact with the other.

And Ethan would hate to say it, but he missed Benny.

They had been best friends, two halves a whole; and now, they didn't even talk to each other.

Then, Benny started dating him.

"Besides, Robbie isn't that bad," Rory said, making Ethan glare at him. "Benny wanted you two to be friends again, but that meant you had to be friends with him. They're a package deal now." Ethan huffed and put his head down on his desk. "You two are kind of alike actually. I wouldn't be surprised if he started dating Robbie because he was a lot like you."

"I don't care about that. I'm straight. I have no desire to date Benny."

"But."

"I miss my best friend. This was a stupid reason to stop being friends, wasn't it?"

"It was. But you shouldn't have dated him and then just blew it up in his face that you were straight."

"I just wanted him to be happy."

"And now he is. That's what you wanted." Ethan was silent and looked at Rory.

"When'd you get so smart?"

"Ah, wise I am grasshopper, secrets not spill though."

"Right. Well then, oh wise one, what do I do?"

"Talk to him. Get to know Robbie. With Robbie comes Benny." Ethan glanced at the couple and knew, without a doubt, the blonde was right.

He was going to have to get to know him.

…

"Hey, Robbie right?" Robbie looked up, surprised to see Ethan standing over him.

"Ethan." Robbie was about Ethan's height, but slighter in build; he had dark brown hair that was darker than Ethan's and blue eyes that looked crystal clear in some light and dark blue in other. The two were in Advanced Algebra, a class Benny couldn't take even if he wanted to.

"Can I sit here?"

"…Sure." Robbie looked down at his desk as Ethan took the seat next to him. He had heard all about Ethan from Benny; he was one of the few things Benny talked about over and over again. He knew how much Benny cared about Ethan, even to this day, and missed him; they weren't friends anymore because they had tried dating but Ethan didn't like him like that, and Benny had over-reacted and ended everything between them. Then Benny told him how much they were alike, how they could all be friends if Ethan would just be friends with Robbie too; Robbie didn't think he was the problem though.

He adored Benny so much, but Benny always seemed to bring Ethan up in any conversation.

No matter what they were talking about.

"So… how'd you do on that last test we had?"

"I did pretty well. You?"

"I did okay. So…"

"Why are you here Ethan?"

"I miss my best friend. The way I can get him back is by befriending you."

"Funny, he says the same thing. Just in smaller words."

"I bet… So, Robbie, tell me about yourself?"

The two sat there for the whole class period, getting to know one enough.

And surprisingly, they were more alike than even Benny had thought.

Both had a little sister who was around the same age; both had to endure crazy babysitter's [although Robbie's was normal; he didn't know about magic] on behalf of their little sister's antics. They were both on the smarter side of the scale. They both liked the color green – Ethan, Green Lantern, Robbie, Hulk. They both enjoyed a good comic book every now and then and even enjoyed the same video games.

Effectively, they both realized at the same time that they were pretty much effectively the same person.

...

Benny was waiting for his boyfriend in the hallway after class as he thought about all that had happened in the last few months.

He had lost Ethan, the most important person in his life, only to meet Robbie, who was practically Ethan, just slighter and cuter.

Benny had fallen in love at first sight with the slight blue-eyed boy. He knew he would be a good fit for him.

If only Ethan would consider being friends with him, then they could probably go back to how they had been.

That's all he had wanted; ever since he had walked away at the movie theater, he had only wanted to turn around and patch up the broken friendship that had crashed around them.

So, when Benny saw his Robbie and Ethan walk out of class together, talking happily and enthusiastically about something, he felt his heart soar in both jealousy and excitement.

"Robbie." Robbie saw him and his face lit up.

"Benny. Hi." Robbie smiled his impish grin at Benny, who couldn't resist giving him a quick kiss before he looked at Ethan.

"Ethan."

"Benny."

"Ethan's going to eat lunch with us, aren't you Ethan?" Robbie asked, smiling at him. Ethan smiled back and met Benny's eyes.

"If that's okay."

"I'd like that."

…

So, I'm thinking this is the end. Better than the chapter before this, right?

Unless ya'll want more? I could probably do more...

I hope ya'll liked it and thanks for reading!
