Party 2 The Next Day

Ethan woke up feeling warm and cozy but that quickly turned into groggy and head achey when he moved a little. He groaned and brought a hand up to his head as he squinted his eyes open. He realized he was in Benny's room, which is normal, but he was on Benny's bed. Benny was lying next to him sleeping peacefully. Ethan didn't care. He just shut his eyes and willed the headache away.

After a few minutes of his head still hurting he figured he needed aspirin. He slowly sat up and rubbed his temples. He was about to get up but a hand snaked around his waist.

"Where are you going?" A sleepy Benny asked.

"Head hurts." Ethan said pathetically. He didn't fight as Benny gently pulled him back down. He didn't care about the arms holding him. He heard Benny murmur something and when fingertips gently brushed against his temple his headache was gone. "Wha?"

"Remember when Grandma had me clean the attic? I kept hitting my head. Got lots of practice with headache reducing spells." Benny explained as he ran his hand through Ethan's hair. He was waiting for the other boy to react to their situation. Especially considering what happened at Sarah's party. He was hoping for a positive reaction or at least acknowledgement that it had happened.

"So my brain won't melt, right?" Ethan asked teasingly as he enjoyed the hand petting his hair. He then tensed up as he finally realized his situation. He was in Benny's bed, wearing only his boxers, and his best friend was cuddling him. Benny was wearing a shirt though. And hopefully pajama bottoms.

"Ethan?" Benny asked hesitantly as he felt the boy tense up. He didn't release his hold but he did stop petting Ethan's hair.

"I'm in your bed." Ethan stated. "I've never slept in your bed when I sleep over."

"Are you starting to have a freak out?" Benny asked slowly.

"I..." Ethan started but stopped. He wasn't starting to have a freak out. Actually he didn't feel panicked at all. He was just trying to figure out how he got to this point. "No."

"Good." Benny said. Ethan turned to look at him.

"How exactly did I end up here? And only in my boxers?" Ethan asked. Benny frowned at him and crinkled his forehead in worry. Ethan hated that look on Benny.

"What was the last thing you remember?" Benny asked. He felt himself on the edge of freaking out but Ethan seemed pretty relaxed given the situation so he'd wait to see if a freak out was warranted.

"Dancing?" Ethan questioned. "Piggyback ride?"

"Yeah! We danced but you were tired so I gave you a piggyback ride to the car." Benny replied. "You fell asleep on the way and you wouldn't wake up when we got here so I carried you up here and dropped you on the bed. Now I did take your pants off because those aren't comfortable to sleep in." Benny glanced down at Ethan's bare chest and was confused about that. "I don't know about your shirt though."

"Okay..." Ethan said. He turned to stare at the ceiling and his eyes widened when memories from last night flashed in his mind.

"E? You okay? Did you have a vision?" Benny said when he saw the look on his friend's face.

"Uhm. So Sarah's party." Ethan started. He could feel a blush coming on as he intensely kept staring at the ceiling. "Things happened."

"Yeeeeeess? A lot of things happened." Benny said trying to prompt Ethan to keep going.

"Big things." Ethan said.

"... Bad things?" Benny asked scared of the answer but jumped when Ethan quickly whipped his head to look at him.

"No no no!" Ethan quickly said. He saw Benny's lips twitch and then the boy's lips stretched into a grin making him grin.

"Geez E, you had me worried." Benny said. He saw the cute grin Ethan was giving him and didn't even hesitate leaning forward and kissing the boy. It was just a chaste kiss but the second kiss was longer. He wanted to deepen the kiss but Ethan pushed him away.

"Dude." Benny whined.

"Dude, I have the worst morning breath ever." Ethan said as he placed a hand over his mouth. "I don't think you want to taste that. I don't even want to taste it." Ethan squirmed out of Benny's arms and got up to make his way to the bathroom. He already had his own toothbrush at Benny's house.

Benny just folded his arms behind his head as he waited for Ethan to come back. This felt a little too good to be true. He brought a hand up and pinched his arm, which hurt so this wasn't a dream.

Ethan got back and saw Benny staring at the ceiling very intensely. He was holding a note that had been stuck to the bedroom door. Grandma Weir went to a plant show and wouldn't be back until evening. He dropped the note on Benny, which startled the boy and looked on the floor for his missing shirt.

"So, house to ourselves. I wonder what we should do." Benny said. "What are you doing?"

"I'm looking for my shirt." Ethan said. He heard Benny laugh and looked at the boy who was pointing across the room. His shirt had draped itself over Benny's computer.

"You're taking this reeeeeaaaaaaalllyyy well." Benny said. Ethan looked at him questionably.

"You want me to freak out?" Ethan asked as he sat on the bed instead of getting his shirt.

"No. I guess I was just waiting for the worst case scenario to happen." Benny said. He then grabbed Ethan and dragged him down on top of him. He got an exasperated look but waggled his eyebrows in response and then kissed the boy. They only broke apart because Benny's stomach gave a loud growl.

"Food?" Ethan asked.

"Foooood!" Benny said happily giving Ethan another quick kiss.

A/N: I just wanted to write a fic. I don't know if I'll put another part to this. I think my flame for writing this pairing is fading out but I still have other oneshot fics to put up.

I know this is a small fandom and I just wanted to contribute to it. Thanks for reading. ^.^
