I Really Wish It Was Only Me And You [BENNY RODRIGUEZ]{BXB}

Harley's POV
I wake up to no one next to me as usual but Benny wasn't here yesterday so if I woke up with someone next to me I'd freak out. Well, anyone would I'd hope. I shower, put on black slacks, a medium shade gray long sleeve button up, tuck the shirt, put a belt on and my combat boots. I spend a little more time on my hair today then I give up on it just letting it do its thing, it's so humid that my hair is just it's own being at this point. I leave the bathroom and Scott says "why are we doing this again?" I say "cause Bennys parents are religious nut jobs, form your own beliefs, just be nice to everyone and don't hate crime me based on information you hear at this thing" and he says "I know I know. Don't believe the weird stuff they say and don't go science mode on them" and I say "yeah, don't do that either" and as a family we all leave. Mom mumbles "if you want to leave just let me know where you're going" and we nod and we go in and I mumble "hey, I'm not up in flames yet" and Scott chuckles quietly and mom and Bill just roll their eyes. I mumble "what a miracle" and I walk around separately from my mom, Bill and Scott and I don't even recognize Benny when I bump into him. Literally. We both check each other out briefly and he mumbles "you're gorgeous" and after the conversation a couple nights ago, him calling me gorgeous just gives me the most incredible feeling I've ever experienced. I smile mumbling "you're so hot, I might have to pull you away sometime" and he mumbles "knock yourself out" biting his lip. He's wearing a white button down that's tight in all the right places on him, black slacks that aren't skinny like mine but they hug the front of him, if you know what I'm saying, his hips, his ass and his thighs perfectly and classic black PF Flyers that seem to never be off his feet. I bite my lip and everyone starts to sit down for this sermon bullshit and Benny sits next to me and I hold his hand where people can't see it unless they turn around. I mumble "this is gonna be hell" and he mumbles "it is, try it every weekend" biting his lip and I squeeze his hand. It seems pretty casual like some people are standing around like we were before and no one's saying otherwise so we could just sneak out. The preacher seems pretty serious and he starts talking about gay people. Great. Fuck me. Benny looks at me mumbling "sorry" and I mumble "I've heard it all before, are you ok?" He nods and we keep listening to this guys awful words about how were supremacists that are trying to take over and I look over at Bennys parents and his dad is emotionless and his mom is happily nodding along. I hear my mom mumble "keep your cool" and I bite my lip, nodding and I do breathing exercises that a fucking shrink taught me and they help enough for like five minutes. Benny mumbles "if my mom asks where I went, I'm on a walk, as for you, come find me" biting his lip and I bite mine and he leaves and I hear "think about your kids, what if they turn gay?" Mom mumbles "it's not a big deal, dude" and I barely suppress my laughter and the preacher says "how will you turn them back onto the right way of living?" A few people raise their hands and the preacher points at Bennys mom who raised her hand and she says "wouldn't conversion therapy be the right way?" The preacher says "yes and don't let them play with the wrong gendered toys if you want them on the right path of living. I stand up mumbling "I'm taking a break, I might be back, if not I'll be home later" and mom nods and I get up and I mumble "my man plays baseball and he loves me, not many gay boys play with barbies, sir" and I hear a couple guys chuckle that are standing at the back as I walk by. One of them mumble "perhaps were you the one to play with barbies cause there's one of those in every relationship." We chuckle quietly and I mumble "I'm a switch, so sometimes it was barbies, very rare occasions" and we chuckle quietly. One of them mumble "you in the closet too?" I mumble "no, my quote unquote friend is so far in the closet, you wouldn't believe it if I told you and his mom just said conversion therapy." The guy mumbles "you're going out with Rodriguez?!" I mumble "not officially, we've been talking a lot though" and he mumbles "jealous, well, if you can get through to him, you can do anything, apparently his heads always up in the clouds." I mumble "were not telling anyone about this right?" The other one says "I know what its like to be outed, of course not" and I mumble "he's not in the clouds, his just like three tracked minded, that's all he's got up there" and we chuckle. I mumble "now I gotta go find him" and the nod mumbling their best wishes as if I'm going into battle, which I am but that's not the point. I slip out and I go to the bathroom and I see him and I say "you ok?" He says "yeah, I feel really bad that my mom brought you into this?" I say "aww, love, it's ok" wrapping my arms around his neck and he says "I'm sorry" and I say "it's ok" and he says "I think I'm gonna come out to my parents, I'm done with this bullshit." Fuck. I say "you don't have to listen to me ever but please listen to me now, when you left they said what do you do if your child is gay and your mom said conversion therapy, love. It's your choice, I will support you in everything you do, I'll keep you out of your house, anything I'd have to but I advise you wait till you can move out but if you don't, I support you." Benny kisses me softly saying "I'm gonna wait to do it, she's awful" and I kiss him saying "I just don't want to see you hurt, love" and he says "I don't want to see you hurt either" me kissing him.
