Wildfire

Chapter 22 - No one's POV

            Bennett hid under the blanket so Razor couldn't see his face. He normally never hid. Razor knew something was up. "Everything okay?" Razor asked quietly. "I-I'm fine really," Bennett said. His voice didn't sound like normal. It cracked between sentences. "Don't lie," Razor then said in a serious tone. He pulled the blanket away from Bennett to look at his face. "Tell me. What wrong?" As soon as bennett tried to speak, he broke out into sobs and cried into razor's chest. Razor was surprised at this. He's never seen Bennett cry. Sure he knew that the whole "happy and positive adventurer" could have led up to this, but still. "Shhhhh.." Razor whispered as he stroked the crying boy's head and hugged him. "I'm sorry..I just don't want you to p-put up with me." Bennett started to calm down and then said, "My bad luck...It ruins everything! I don't want you to put up with it so please, if you're tired of me, just say so!" Tired? Of Bennett? Razor could never see himself growing tired of him. He loved Bennett. He loved hunting with meat with him, and stargazing, and catching fish. His clumsyness could be quite a handful, but that could easily be looked passed. "Razor never could grow tired of you," razor said in a comforting voice. "But, people who are nice to me like you always end up leaving me!" Bennett cried out. Razor grew a little hurt with that statement. "You really think I like them?" Bennett quickly regretted that wording as soon as he heard razor's reaction. "No! I didn't mean that! I'm sorry I'm sorry!" Bennett was practically on his knees apologizing until Razor said "Calm down. No need to apologize. Razor understands."
"But, now I feel like you hate me.."
"I would never hate you, Bennett. I love you."
"You, love me? As a friend? Or..?"
Razor didn't even hesitate with his response. "Love you much more than friend."
Bennett started blushing and his face was as red as an apple. Razor then kissed the boy on the cheek, which made him even more red but he accepted the kiss and decided to kiss razor back. "Razor never hate you bennett."
"Even if I hurt your feelings??"
"Bennett. NEVER. Never ever hate you. Now let's sleep." Razor wrapped his arms around bennett while Bennett rested his head on razor's chest. They both liked how warm they were to each other. The two then went to sleep, cuddling each other.
