Ben spent his entire day worried, Mackie won't answer his calls or texts. Late last night, while he was asleep, Ben got a text from Mackie that said he's back at his place, so Ben assumes something bad happened.

Not waiting until after school Ben rushes to Mackie's car and prepares for the drive. What could've possibly happened? Ben thinks about different scenarios as he drives, he told them the truth and they disowned him, they kicked him out and cut him off, they chose Harley and now Mackie is on his own forever with no job or family for support. Ben thinks about how he's going to have to take care of Mackie if they won't, he knows that Mackie is very resourceful and he'll figure out a way, but Ben is prepared to get a job if he has to.

Finally getting to the house, Ben sees Mackie's bike and parked behind the bike is Maeve's car. Parking the car he climbs out walking to the house. Using his key, Ben unlocks the door and walks in, he sees Maeve standing in the kitchen staring at the door a little surprised. "Sorry did I scare you?"

"Yes! I almost ran" she continues making her sandwich, "how have you been?"

"Good good" Ben notices Mackie's boots and jacket by the door, "you?" He asks walking closer to Maeve

"Yeah great, had an hour before my next class so I thought why not come home for lunch."

"Smart. Um is Mackie..." he points down the hall towards his bedroom

She nods, "yeah he came back last night and he's been in there since."

"Is he sleeping?"

"I think so, heard him snoring a couple of times he sounded tired" Poor baby Ben thinks, "you should go wake him up, it's been over ten hours."

"Ok thanks, Maeve."

"Anytime Benjafriend," Ben scoffs and she chuckles at her own joke.

Walking to Mackie's room at the end of the hall, Ben grabs the knob gently opening the door, he looks in and sees a shirtless Mackie passed out in only his boxer briefs. Going in he shuts the door and just stands there for a minute taking in How peaceful Mackie looks, he's complained to Ben a couple of times these last few weeks how much he's having trouble sleeping. Ben would always wonder why, but now that he knows Mackie has done something to take a lot of weight off of his shoulders, Ben can't blame the boy for being so tired.

Getting closer Ben sits on the edge of the bed caressing the sleeping boy's face. He continues to do so on his face and hair until it wakes Mackie up, opening his eyes Mackie sees Ben "you're a sight for sore eyes." Mackie smiles

"You've been sleeping all day that's why they're sore" Ben stands up walking to his window opening the blinds. "I've been calling you" Ben talks as Mackie stares at him, "what happened last night?" Turning Ben looks at his boyfriend waiting for an answer but smiles when he sees Mackie's eyes fixating on him.

"Come here," Mackie calls him over.

"Why?"

"Fine, I'll come to you" Ben watches him climb out of bed coming towards him in his underwear. Wrapping his arms around Ben's waist, Mackie pulls him close causing Ben to be on his tiptoes to reach Mackie's face, "I want to take you somewhere nice" he says rubbing his nose against Ben's, "show off my sexy boyfriend for once" Ben chuckles at Mackie calling him sexy. "What do you think?"

Nodding "that sounds great." Ben's arms rest around Mackie's neck while his fingers roam Mackie's messy hair, "but that doesn't answer my question." Avoiding what he's saying Mackie takes Ben's lips between his and they start to kiss, Ben knows what he's doing but Mackie's kisses feel too good so he can't help but be distracted.

Leading Ben to his bed as they're kissing Mackie lays him down and gets between his legs, Mackie knows what he wants but Ben feels like he can't keep going until he gets answers. Ben pulls away "no don't stop," Mackie tries to move back in to keep kissing but Ben moves his face away. Mackie notices the serious look on his face, "what is it?"

"Why won't you tell me what happened last night?"

Sighing Mackie climbs off feeling like Ben ruined the mood, "because I don't want to talk about it" he replies walking to a drawer getting a T-shirt.

"Why not?" Ben sits up, "was it that bad?"

"I'm here instead of there, aren't I?"

"Mackie you don't have to be cagey with me come on," he climbs off the bed pushing for answers.

"I'm free, Ben" he turns to his boyfriend, "that's all that matters, isn't it?" Ben stares at him and Mackie notices, not wanting to be analyzed he walks out of the room leaving Ben behind.

Following Mackie to the bathroom, Ben asks "you told them and they kicked you out?" He stands behind him as Mackie picks up his toothbrush and toothpaste ignoring the question, "you and your dad got into a fist fight and now you're cut off?" He continues to guess as Mackie brushes his teeth, "you told them and they chose?" Ben sees him get tense, "but it wasn't you?" Mackie brushes until it's enough "wait they chose Harley?"

Mackie rinses his mouth and brush putting it down, then turns to Ben "not they, him. I told them and my dad said that I wasn't being loyal. Which basically translates to even though Harley has done everything in his power to ruin my fucking life, I should always cover for him." Mackie starts to get mad and Ben notices, "it's like my dad refuses to even see that Harley's never even had my back, not once! So I fucking left for good this time." After explaining Mackie walks past Ben going to the kitchen

Ben processes then joined him in the kitchen as Mackie makes coffee, "good" he comments moving closer to the boy. "You are better than Harley and your father combined, and since they can't seem to realize that then fuck them, you don't need them."

"So you don't think I'm ruining my family? Because my dad does."

Ben scoffs "your brother did that a long time ago, if anyone's to blame it's him." Moving closer Ben stands next to him "look at me" he asks, Mackie turns looking down at the boy locking their eyes, "who cares if he blames you, as long as you know the truth then that's all that matters. Do you understand?" Mackie slightly nods "even though it all went to shit last night, do you at least feel better for doing the right thing?"

"For the first time in weeks I got to sleep with no worries" he replies turning his body to Ben, "we haven't done anything normal because I've spent so much time focusing on my life."

"I could say the same thing about me," Ben says.

"Well, we should stop that and start focusing on each other,"

"Ok, I'm in" Ben smiles, "what's normal?"

Picking his boyfriend up Mackie sits him on the kitchen counter and stands between his legs, "dates?"

"Ok" Ben agrees,

"Spending a lot more time with each other."

He nods "and lots more sex, right?"

"Fuck yeah!" Mackie replies and Ben chuckles, "and I was thinking over the summer I could transfer back to school, so we'd get to see each other a lot more."

"Really?!" Ben asks excited and Mackie nods, pulling him in Ben starts to kiss his boyfriend. They're getting hot on the counter but Ben's phone starts to vibrate from his back pocket, without pulling away from Mackie's lips or look at who's calling he answers. "Mm-hmm?"

"Hey get Denver's dick out of your mouth for a second I need to ask you something," Ali says and Ben sighs.

"What?" He asks as Mackie kisses his neck

"I was thinking even though we're being complete losers and going with each other to the dance we should get a limo, Brooke agreed. What do you think?"

"Yeah yeah sounds good I gotta go," Ben is too distracted by how good Mackie is making him feel.

"Wait!" She stops him from hanging up, "before you go I have to ask you a serious question,"

"What, Ali?"

"How big is Denver's dick?"

"Bye!" He hangs up
