So, after working out what I'm gonna write for this chapter, it's decided that it's going to become a love story (I mean, ya'll already knew that of course, but I mean with more than just sexual dreams and whatnot)

And I was watching MBAV the movie on iTunes, and I had subtitles on, and in the scene where Ethan's carrying Benny he calls him B. Aww so cute! (sorry, I'm just that much of a dork)

Also, I'm beginning to like this story. Is it my favorite? Not yet, DL has that spot still. But it's a close second :D

Well stop reading my stupid A/N and get to reading the story! Lol.

…

Benny and Ethan walked into school Monday morning, bags under their eyes. Both were exhausted. All weekend the stupid dreams had continued for each boy, causing them to not get enough sleep.

"If I fall asleep in class, make sure to wake me up," Benny mumbled, yawning. "Do not need to have a dream like that in the middle of school."

"Ugh, yeah, good point," Ethan said, yawning as well. They both slumped against their lockers, waiting for the bell to ring. Sarah walked up to them, a sympathetic smile on her face.

"Long night you guys?" she said in a joking tone, making them both glare at her. "Sorry."

"It's fine. It's just, these dreams are gonna be the end of us," Ethan said, yawning again, which caused Benny to yawn as well.

"Well, I hope you guys figure this problem out, you both look dead on your feet."

…

Benny and Ethan were both drifting in and out of sleep in class, barely paying attention.

"Students," their teacher said in a loud voice, waking them up before they could fully fall asleep, "we have a new student joining our class. Say hello to Josh Anderson." A group of mumbled hi's and hello's were thrown at the tall boy, clad in dark blue skinny jeans and a red and black plaid button down shirt, who now stood by the teacher. He smiled warmly at everyone. "Well Josh, you can just pick an empty seat somewhere." He nodded and walked over towards Benny and Ethan. There was an empty seat next to Benny, and Josh took it, smiling at the two exhausted boys happily.

"Hi," he said, smiling at Benny, who smiled back tiredly.

"Hi," he mumbled. "I'm Benny and this is my best friend Ethan," he said, indicating the other dark haired boy next to him, who was a little more awake now, and watching the new kid curiously.

"Hi," he said happily, smiling at Ethan as well. Ethan smiled back, but couldn't help but feel uneasy about this guy. Something's … off about him.

…

Josh had all of Benny and Ethan's classes, so he hung out with them all day, following Benny around like a puppy. Benny was so out of it he didn't really care, but Ethan was beginning to wonder what was up with this guy. He took in the new guy's appearance, trying to see if the posed any threats.

The boy was about an inch taller than Benny, with sandy brown hair that fell just above one eye, perfectly combed. His eyes were a sparkling emerald green, and he was constantly smiling a stupid crooked grin. Ethan frowned as he watched Josh talk happily to Benny, who tiredly responded. Spotting Sarah at the snack machines, Ethan bolted to her.

"Sarah!" he called, walking up to her.

"Oh hey Ethan. What's up?" she asked, smiling at him.

"Have you met the new guy Josh?"

"The tall dude sitting next to Benny?" she asked, looking over her shoulder at them. Ethan nodded.

"Yeah…. I get a … different feeling about him. Not like he's bad like Jesse was or anything like that, but like … he's not normal."

"Ethan, I drink blood. You see things no one else sees. Benny casts spells. None of us are normal," Sarah pointed out, frowning at him. "You sure you're not … jealous?"

"Of what?"

"That a guy is showing interest in Benny, when you and him have been having these dreams about each other?"

"I'm not jealous! I just have a weird feeling about him."

"Mhm… well, what do you plan to do about it?"

"Nothing I guess… not until Benny's awake and see if he gets a weird feeling about him too."

…

Ethan was fuming by the end of the school day. He stood by Sarah while Josh talked happily with Benny again.

"Looks like someone like's Benny. Gonna admit you're jealous yet?" she said playfully. Ethan growled in response, frowning.

"Shut up Sarah. I'm not jealous. I'm worried."

"About…?"

"What if this Josh guy is dangerous?"

"You said so yourself, it's a weird feeling, not a bad feeling. Just ask Benny about it later, after he gets some sleep. He still looks dead on his feet." Benny shuffled over to them then, smiling tiredly.

"Please tell me I can sleep at your house," he said as the three teens shuffled over towards Ethan's house.

"Sure thing B," he said, thoughts drifting. Soon enough, they were at Ethan's house.

"Well, I'll leave you two to … geek it up and everything," Sarah said awkwardly, since Benny was stooped against Ethan, eyes barely open. Ethan had an arm around the taller boy, supporting him from falling over.

"Bye Sarah," they said, walking into Ethan's house. Benny barely made it up the stairs and into Ethan's room before collapsing on his bed, eyes closed. In seconds he was snoring quietly, lost in dream land. Ethan shook his head and sighed before pushing Benny over and laying next to him, closing his eyes as well, letting lack of sleep claim him.

…

Ethan woke up first, hard as usual. Stupid Benny dream he thought, stretching slightly. He looked over to see Benny with a content smile on his face as he slept still. Glancing at his clock, he saw they had only been asleep for about an hour.

"Mmm, Ethan," Benny mumbled in his sleep, making Ethan begin to freak out.

He's talking in his sleep now? A bright blush found its way to Ethan's face as he watched Benny shift a little in sleep and let out a contented sigh.

"Ethan, how is it you're so perfect?" Benny sighed, a happy smile on his face as he slept. Ethan decided it was time to wake Benny up. Gently, he shook the taller boy's shoulder. "Ethan, I wish I could stay in your arms forever," another mumble came out as Benny turned over, snoring quietly.

"Benny! Time to wake up," Ethan said, trying to fight the blush from getting any worse on his cheeks.

"Wh-what?' Benny mumbled, opening his eyes slowly. Once he caught sight of Ethan he smiled tiredly. "Oh hey E. How long was I out?" he asked, sitting up slowly, fixing the blanket around him.

"Um… about an hour," Ethan got out, eyes wide.

"What's wrong?"

"Y-you were talking in your sleep…" Ethan mumbled. He smiled a bit as Benny began to blush.

"Oh God, what did I say?'

"You moaned my name … and asked how I could be so perfect… and said you wished you could stay in my arms," Ethan said, blushing again. He looked at Benny to see him blushing before hiding his face in his hands.

"I'm sorry E. I know we agreed to not talk about them anymore. I'm sorry."

"B, it's fine, really. Just kinda caught me off guard, but its fine."

"You're not mad?"

"Of course not."

"Great," Benny said, a relieved smile on his face.

"Hey Benny, can I ask something?"

"Sure," he said, standing up and stretching.

"Well… what do you think of Josh?"

"Josh? Oh the new guy. He's okay… A little too happy and energetic for me, and kinda clingy. Why do you ask?"

"Because I got a weird feeling about him."

"Like bad weird?"

"No, like weird weird."

"Huh. Well, what are you gonna do about it?"

"I think I'm gonna need Sarah's help."

…

The next day at school…

Thanks Sarah. Sarah frowned as she read the text message before responding.

You owe me big time Ethan, she texted back, frowning. Seeing her target, she plastered on a fake smile. Sarah walked up to Josh, determined to find out what he had planned.

"Hi … Josh right?" she asked, smiling happily. He smiled back, and she couldn't help but be impressed. He's pretty good looking, she thought.

"Hi. You're Sarah right? A friend of Benny and Ethan's."

"Yeah, that's right."

"Well, is there something I can help you with?"

"Actually there is … why are you so interested in Benny?"

"Ha, Ethan caught on did he?" he said, smiling that crooked smile at her.

"Excuse me?" she asked, beginning to get angry. "Are you trying to come between two best friends?"

"I'm interested in both Benny and Ethan. I mean them no harm."

"Well, you need to just back off a bit. Came on a little strong there. Clingy is the word they used I think," Sarah said, the vampire anger in her coming out.

"Calm down young vampire, I'm here to help them."

"What?"

…

Dun-dun-duuuuuuun. Who is this Josh? Why is he so interested in Benny and Ethan? You'll just have to wait and see!

Hope this chapter wasn't too bad! I've had the Josh character in my mind for a while now, just haven't found a good time to use him, until now.

Well, until next time dear readers!
