The BL Writer

Number One Fan

Chapter 3

Rei's POV

It wasn't like I was oblivious to what Benno was trying to hide from me. I always did catch him snooping around in my room, so it didn't surprise me. I also knew he read quite a few of my stories. That's what he gets for using his real name and picture on his profile. Especially if he will end up reading Boy Love stories, made by yours truly. I started writing them for a cousin of mine who would give me details and have me write her dream story. I didn't make it sexual at all since I myself didn't consider myself gay in anyway. I would picture the "other-half" as a woman.  I was fairly new to the whole story creating so I hesitated before posting my very first chapter. I also made sure nothing on my profile represented anything related to me in the real world.

Then I saw it, the very first comment on my story. It was from my best friend. I probably checked his profile a thousand times before declaring the owner of the comment Benno. At first I was confused because I had no idea Benno even reads.  Then I realized something else was more surprising. Benno was reading a story involving two male friends as a love interest.

'I loved it! You're an amazing writer! I am going to die waiting for the update! Please Update soon!' 

He was the reason I even continued to write. As far as I can tell he is my biggest fan.

"That's not fair at all!" Benno complained to me his light brown hair a mess from rolling around on my bean bag chair. "You can't choose a game you're really good at."

I join an already existing game ignoring his complaint. I can't say that I like Benno, but I also can't say that I dislike him. I enjoy messing with his head and making him do stupid things when he thinks I'm not looking. I do think he might have a crush on me though. It doesn't really bother me so I don't say anything about it. In fact I enjoy teasing him, by doing or saying something I've written in a few of my stories.

To my disadvantage I joined a group I knew very well, "SilentKills". They were Elite, really, really good. I notice they were saying something so plop on my head set.

"He's back for another ass whooping!" – ShadowAssassin98

"It's been awhile man!" – NothingBetterToDo01

"Ready to eat lead old man?!" –Backstabber101

"I told you I'm still in high school, I'm younger than you." I tell backstabber. "I'm sorry I have to get a high score, there's something I've bet on using my score."

"What's the deal?" –NothingBetterToDo01

"My friend is hiding something from me and I want to know what it is." I answer. I have a feeling he was snooping on my laptop. Nothing else he could be hiding from me. The room was completely clear of anything weird so it had to be my laptop.

"Is she cute?" - ShadowAssassin98

"HE is pretty average if I had to judge him, probably 7 out of 10." I joked receiving a kick from Benno.

"A dude, It's a dude. He's probably banging your girl or something." -Backstabber101

"You think I have a girlfriend?" I ask as the game starts and I start off walking slowly toward my target. I couldn't hear the other team anymore so I concentrated on getting the highest score I could. I tried to make sure my character walked normally and didn't stand out before I killed surprising my target. I managed to come out second before regrouping in the lobby.

"Damn, a couple more points and you would have been first man." - NothingBetterToDo01

"You must really want to know what he's hiding dude." -ShadowAssassin98

"You should play for our group next time, slaughter a whole bunch of people and piss them off you know?" -Backstabber101

"I'll keep the offer in mind. I'm getting off." I tell the three before leaving the lobby and turning my body to face Benno. He had his chin resting on his knees looking at the flat screen TV angrily. "Your turn, if you get a higher score than I did, then you won't have to tell me what you're hiding." Although, I already have a hunch. 

"That's impossible! How can I beat your score? You piss me off." He hissed at me grabbing the controller and pushed me off the bean bag so he could sit down where I was at. I sit up on the floor beside him and watch as he connects to a new lobby.

The game started and it itched me to take the controller. He was so freaking obvious. At one point he gave up and started running toward his targets. If there was something he was good at it was chasing people down. Even if he managed to get them, his score wasn't very high.

"Just run until you get close then start walking." I tell him and he kicks my leg before killing one of his targets. "See your score is lower than if you just simply walked up to him. "

"Will you stop distracting me you ass!" He kicked again before a new target was given to him. I shrugged. I was only trying to help. I Smile to myself as he tried to rack up his score as quickly as possible.

The result of his run and stab resulted in him being stunned while killing his target. That made his score lower again. "Do you WANT to tell me what you're hiding?" I ask making him kick my leg again.

"Shut up." He looked at his score. Not even close to mine. "This isn't fair." He tossed the controller to me when the game ended. I cradle the controller. I love my games... "You picked this game on purpose to get me to tell you."

"Of course I did. How else would I get you to tell me?" I say rather bluntly. Benno tried to kick me again but I grabbed his leg and pulled him off the bean bag chair. "You're going to give me a bruise, now suck it up and tell me."

Benno leans forward and pushes my hand from his leg. "You... write BL stories." He whispered not even looking at me. I smack the side of his leg. He yelped like a puppy.

"Speak up."

"You write BL Stories!" He snapped and rubbed where my hand made contact with his leg. I knew it. Why is he such a snoop. Snoopy. "You're not mad are you?"

"Well, why are you looking at my History anyway?" When I ask this question I notice Benno's cheeks start to turn a little pink. What a cute color on him. "You were looking for something in particular?"

"I..." he bit his lip, which I found to be quite cute. I should use this scene in one of my upcoming books. "I was looking for some dirt on you." He says quickly, still not looking at me.

"You're looking for dirt on me?" This was half a lie and half the truth. He probably worded it to sound less...snoopy.

"So I have something to tease you with." He mumbled.

"Why would you blush over something like that? You're not lying to me are you?" Benno knows I hate being lied to. I grew up thinking lying will only bring you trouble. I can't remember any time where I lied. "What are you blushing for?"

"I was... I was looking to see if you watched porn..." Benno stood up and now he was red from the neck up. "wh-what kind of guy doesn't watch porn anyway! You're so weird!"

"Don't try to cover up your own idiocy." I got up as well and strolled toward my laptop. "If you must know, I use my imagination."

Benno followed behind me and watched as I brought up my wattpad account. It automatically signs in and I click my followers. This is when I notice Benno stiffen up and reach for my hand in attempt to stop me. Too late, we were both now looking at his profile.

"Thanks for being my number one fan by the way." I grin at him.
