Yes, I think this is the end of BNC dear readers. But I've got oodles of stories ready and waiting to be posted, so do not worry! I just hope the replacement stories are good.

This chapter may not be very long. Just letting ya'll know.

*Also, this chapter has some slight language (like one or two bad words). I feel it is my duty to warn you (the reader) about this.*

Well, I still don't own MBAV. Not gonna anytime soon.

…

Benny stood there in the hallway, Rory staring at him shock.

"Dude, you okay?" he asked, waving a hand in front of the tall boy's face.

"Did he just kiss me? You saw that right?"

"Yeah, he kissed you. I thought you said he didn't like you?" Rory asked, confused.

"I didn't think he did… But he just kissed me. And walked away… Fuck where'd he go?" Benny asked, coming out of his confused state and looking around frantically.

"No idea. He walked that way," Rory said, pointing in the general direction. Benny nodded and took off in that direction, hoping he could find Ethan and confront him about what happened. He went to all the usual places Ethan would go to ditch class, and he wasn't in any of them. Finally, he ran into someone who could possibly help him.

Sarah.

"Have you seen Ethan?" he asked, a light spazzy undertone to his voice. Sarah raised her eyebrows at him and nods.

"Said he was going outside for some fresh air," she said, pointing at the front doors. When she turns back Benny's already running towards the doors and out of them before she can open her mouth.

Once outside, Benny looks frantically around, hoping to catch sight of Ethan somewhere, anywhere. He moved around the school building, looking around. Thinking he caught a glimpse of dark brown hair out of the corner of his eye, he sprints in that general direction.

Towards the old tree stump.

He slows as he nears it, thinking.

This is where all this drama began. Where Ethan and Rory caught me carving someone's name into the bark. Rory guessed it was Ethan. Ethan was mad that I didn't tell him. And now… I'm chasing my best friend around the school, trying to figure out why he kissed me earlier then just walked away.

"Stupid tree stump," Benny mumbled, sitting next to it with a huff. "I wish you hadn't tempted me into carving his name onto you. Then none of this would've happened." But if I hadn't, we would've never had kissed… he thought, arguing with himself. Sighing again, he leaned against it and closed his eyes. Moving his hands into the grass by his legs, he frowns and opens his eyes as his hand brushes against something. Looking down, he sees a pocket knife.

Not just any knife. Ethan's knife. He knew this was Ethan's because he had the same one in his bag. His grandma had gotten the knives for the boy's after the attack at the Unbitten premiere. They were a pair of magical pocket knives that could destroy a vampire instantly. Picking it up, he just stared at it.

"What the-?" he looked up then, feeling eyes on him. But looking around, he saw no one was out there. Standing up slowly, he put Ethan's knife in his pocket before looking around. Moving around to the other side of the stump, he sees his scratched out carving, the one that started all of this. Next to it was a new carving.

"Ethan loves Benny," he read out loud, a smile forming on his lips.

"It's true," a voice said, causing Benny to turn around. Ethan stood there, hands in his pockets and a bashful look on his face.

"Why'd you kiss me then just walk away?" Benny asked, staring at the shorter boy, who seemed to be avoiding his eyes.

"I… I kissed you because I figured if I did, and didn't like it, you couldn't hate me because you got what you wanted… But then…I liked the kiss. And I asked you and you gave me that stupid line I gave you and I just … I had to clear my mind."

"So… you enjoyed kissing me?"

"Do you not see the carving I did?" he asked, pointing at it. Benny nodded and smiled.

"I saw it. So, you liked kissing me. Do you like me?"

"I think so…I mean, I don't know if I'm gay or bi or what, but I do know that there's something between us, that surpasses just plain friendship."

"I agree," Benny said, smirking as he stepped closer to Ethan. "So, what's this mean for us?" Ethan winced and looked at him.

"You're going to make me do it aren't you?"

"Well, I've been beating myself up for liking you for a while, so yeah, you can do this."

"Fine," he sighed, looking at Benny through his eyelashes. "Benny Weir, will you… bemyboyfriend?" he rushed out, face turning bright red.

Benny chuckled and said, "Well, since you asked… sure," he said with a shrug, reaching for Ethan's hand. "Since we've skipped half the day, just wanna go home?"

"Sure."

…

Yeah, I had so much trouble thinking of this chapter, so if it's awful, I completely understand.
