men of desire (speed x ben)

confession

     (no-ones P.O.V)

     "CUT!" The producer screamed, cameras shutting off. Speed, the notorious and funny streamer, sighed as he set down his headphones. He walked offset, leaving Ben to discuss with the managers about 'what a good performance' they did. Ben looked at Speed with sorrow, today had been a hard stream for the both of them. For starters, Speed had confessed his love for Ben on stream, and part of Ben wanted it to be true. It hurt ben to slam the phone down, but he tried his hardest to be professional. Amidst acting as enemies, both have fallen in love. 

     Ben chased Speed to his dressing room, bumping into multiple people with his tail. "Sorry!" He would mutter, but he barely spared them a glance, his full focus on Speed. When he reached the door, it opened before he could even reach for the handle. "Speed? Are you alright?" the dog asked, and Speed looked at him with lust. "Meet me in the studio, at 12 o'clock. I'll be waiting," Speed said, and Ben was sure that if his fur wasn't covering his face, he would be as red as a tomato. Speed walked away, grabbing his coat from his actor's chair, and leaving without a word. 

     Ben went home, lost in thought. What was Speed planning? What would happen? Slowly, Ben began thinking dirty thoughts, but he did his best to distract himself from them. Instead, he took a shower and groomed his fur. He even added a bit of lipgloss to his lips, which made them a shiny, voluminous black. 

     It soon hit 12 o'clock, and Ben used his entry card to enter the building. He went up the elevator to floor 3, the studio. It was the most secret place in the whole filming building, it had no cameras or microphones besides the ones used for recording. He opened the door and saw Speed, sitting with his back faced to him. Speed was shaking, and Ben didn't know what that meant. "...Speed?" Ben called, and Speed stood up and walked to him. As he walked over, his face became apparent, Speed was crying. His cheeks and eyes puffed red, and he put his hands to his head. "I don't know how long I can do this, Ben! I can't keep pretending to hate you!" Speed said, gasping between breaths. "I do understand-" Ben started, but was cut off. "No, you don't! That's the problem!  I'm- I-" Speed said, stuttering and shaking. Ben held him by the shoulders, his furry thumbs soothing him by rubbing them in circular motions. "It's alright, Speed. I'm here. Just tell me." He said in a soft voice, and Speed gulped, the tears finally stopping. 

     "I- I love you, Ben." He said, finally. Ben felt his heart skip a beat, and he secretly pinched himself to make sure this wasn't a dream. It, in fact, wasn't. Speed began to externally panic. "I know it's sudden and everything but-" "I love you too," Ben said, cutting off Speed. They smiled at each other, and slowly leaned in. It seemed like it was only them in the universe like they were floating among the stars. They closed their eyes and felt each other's lips crash onto one another. They smiled into the soft kiss, and Ben held Speed's face in his furry paws, wiping off any dried tears. After what seemed like an infinity, they let go of each other, gasping for breath. They smiled at each other until Speed's face turned into fear. "What do we tell the managers?" He asked, and Ben became lost in thought. "We do whatever's right, or whatever you want to do, darling." Speed blushed at the nickname and smiled. "We should run away, maybe Alaska, live in a cottage with our future pups," Speed said, holding onto Ben. They laid down on the leather couch, kissing each other gently into the night. Speed would draw shapes into Ben's fur, while Ben would fidget with his hair. "I love you. So, so much." Ben said, and Speed drifted off into sleep, mumbling a 'love you too' back. Ben admired his sleeping face for a while, before succumbing into slumber himself. 

Speed woke up from his alarm clock. He was back in his own bed, still confused about the dream he had. "How strange..."
