"Benny!" Ethan called, running back to his cafeteria table. "I just… saw something when Josh caught me."
"What'd you see?"
"I saw Josh, but he had a heart-tipped bow and arrow, and then he shot it to someone, and when it hit them, they were surrounded by hearts…."
"Ha, sounds like cupid," Benny said jokingly. He looked at Ethan's raised eyebrows and shook his head. "Nonononononono, he's not cupid. I was joking."
"…Is it so far-fetched? I mean, we've dealt with vampires, werewolves, evil trees, demons? Is cupid really that hard to believe?"
"Yes. We've got enough going on without having to worry about a "cupid"," he said, making Ethan frown. "We need to figure out why we keep having our dreams," Benny said, whispering the last part. "Because mine are getting stronger every night."
"Benny, we can't talk about this in school. We'll talk later at my house about the dreams okay?" Benny nodded as Ethan pulled out his phone.
"What are you doing?"
"Googling."
"What?"
"I'm looking up what you said about cupid."
"Drop it E."
"You know I can't."
"You think I would know that by now."
"You would think so," Ethan said, smirking at Benny, making Benny moan quietly and bite his lip, which caused Ethan to blush. "What was that?" he whispered at a now red faced Benny.
"Sorry, you give me that look sometimes in my dreams," Benny muttered, face blazing brightly as he avoided looking at Ethan.
"Sorry…" Ethan mumbled as he scrolled through his phone. "Ah-ha! Wikipedia says that sometimes cupids are known to go to certain couples that have trouble getting together (*), and cannot leave until said couple have found each other."
"…So what? Josh was called to come help some poor helpless people find true love?" Benny asked, staring at Ethan for once with a serious expression on his face.
"Possibly. Now the only question is, who'd he come to help?"
Probably us. Would explain why we're dreaming of each other, Benny thought as he looked away from Ethan. He caught Sarah staring at them, a shocked expression on her face before turning away.
…
"Benny was glowing brighter! I think he's beginning to realize it!" Sarah said as she ran up to Josh, who smiled at her.
"That's great!" he said, hugging her in his excitement, making her freeze in surprise. He stepped away, embarrassed. "Sorry."
"N-no, it's fine," she said, smiling slightly at him. "Um… so now that they're beginning to realize it, what's the plan?" He looked thoughtful for a moment before shrugging.
"I have no idea. They caught on faster than I thought. I wonder how …"
"Maybe they know what you are. I mean, they're both really smart. They probably figured it out."
"But how?"
"I don't know … did you do anything recently that may have given it away?"
"Not that I know of."
"Hmm… well…. Anyway, maybe we should confront them?" Sarah asked just as the bell rang. "Maybe later. Gotta get to class," she said, walking away. He nodded and watched her.
"Bye Sarah…" he whispered to himself, for once wearing a frown on his usually happy face.
…
Benny watched as Ethan furiously took notes in their last class of the day. His eyes strayed from the messy dark hair to the serious look on his face. That could explain why Josh was so interested in us when he came here. Maybe he's meant to help us? But me and Ethan together as a couple? That's just … different. I mean, yeah we dream about having sex with each other, but that's just hormones … right? He sighed quietly before tearing his eyes from Ethan.
As Ethan was taking notes, his thoughts drifted to what he figured out earlier. If Josh is a cupid, which makes sense the more I think about it, maybe Sarah knows. That could explain why she's been hanging out with him more. They also act like they like each other. You think I would be more jealous, but I'm not. Maybe it's the dreams, but I just don't really feel that way towards Sarah anymore. Ha, maybe I like Benny. Yeah right… even if we have sexual dreams about the other, that doesn't mean anything … even though Benny is kinda cute… gah what am I thinking? Ethan let out a relieved sigh as the final bell of the day rang. He and Benny quickly ran out of the classroom, wanting to get home.
Sarah watched the two boys quickly walk out of school, a little sad as she watched them glow a little brighter than they did at lunch.
"Lucky aren't they?" Josh asked as he stood next to her. She nodded and smiled sadly at him. "I'm forever doomed to help people find love with never finding it myself."
"I'm forever stuck at 17. No way to find love that way."
"Well, we'll be stuck alone forever, together. Sound good?"
"Technically that's not alone," Sarah said, laughing quietly. Josh smiled at her then sighed.
"I guess it's time to confront them and see what they know about me."
"Wanna go to Ethan's house with me? I'm babysitting tonight."
"Let's do it."
…
* Not a real article (that I know of)
Well then, how's that for you? Hope it wasn't too completely awful - I really have no faith in my writing skills.
But! The boys are beginning to realize how they feel :)
And as for Josh and Sarah … I'm still iffy if I'm gonna put them together (I think I will though, she needs some romance too)
Peace, my dear readers.
