···----------------------------------------------------···

It was just any other normal day for YFM, everyone was just talking and hanging out. Axel - their drummer- found himself staring at their keytarist, Benatar. Benatar could tell that Axel was looking at him, but he was far too quiet to say anything about it.

Benatar was more of the quiet and reserved type, meanwhile, Axel was the complete opposite. He was wild and reckless, a bad boy you could say even. Benatar is British, and the "odd one out" to the band. Axel and Puff -YFM's lead singer- constantly tease and make fun of him. So why? Why is Axel looking at him in this way? It's quite simple actually. Axel had always been in love with Benatar, despite all the bullying and teasing. You see, Axel has never been the "committed" type. He was a sex-with-no-strings-attached type of guy. He thought relationships were boring and a waste of time and he had no time to waste being in a committed relationship. But why now? He had plenty of girls who had wanted to be with him, all of whom he rejected. He had no room in his heart to love them back, ever.

But that all changed when he met Benatar. He liked being around Benatar, he wanted to be around Benatar. He wanted to be with Benatar. He was confused. He was so sure that he was straight, so why did he have these feelings for Benatar, another man? He thought he was weird for having these feelings toward him. They could never love each other back. The world would never let them be together. Two men in love weren't normal. Axel would do anything to lose these feelings for Benatar, even if it meant hurting him... And so then, he resorted to all the bullying and teasing with Puff. It hurt Axel to hurt Benatar like this, it did nothing but hurt him and most of all, Benatar. But at least it hid his true feelings for the male, right?

Soon the rest of the band were slowly starting to notice that Axel was looking at something, or even maybe someone. "Yo Axel, what are you even looking at man?" Puff questioned. Once Puff had pointed that out, Axel quickly stopped staring at Benatar. "Huh, what? I wasn't looking at anything." Axel replied. "You sure you weren't looking at anything 'cause it seemed like to me that you were looking at Benatar over there." Deejay had butted in, pointing at Benatar. Benatar did nothing but sit and stay quiet. "Ooo~ Axel has a crush on Benatarr~ Axel and Benatar sitting in a tree K I S S-" Puff teased, soon being cut off by Axel. "What are you five? First of all, I'm not a fucking fag. Second, why would I want to look at Benatar? Just looking at him for even a second hurts my eyes." Axel said as he got up, pissed. Axel despised this. He wished that he could be normal. Without these feelings, without having to hurt Ben. "Woah woah woah, no need to get mad! I was just joking!" Puff exclaimed, surprised at Axel's outburst. "I'm going outside to smoke." He, Axel, replied in a rather harsh tone, walking out the door.

He got his pack of cigarettes out from his pocket, taking one out, and lighting it. It wasn't quiet outside, but it was better than being inside. After a few minutes, he heard the door open behind him. He turned around and out came Benatar. 'Fuck..' Axel thought as he blew the smoke out of his mouth. Benatar walked over to Axel and stood next to him, not saying anything. Axel just looked at him. It was awkward until Axel finally spoke up. "What are you doing here?" Axel asked Benatar, taking a drag of his cigarette and blowing the smoke out again. Axel thought Benatar looked cute just simply by standing there. There were so many things he wanted to do to Benatar right then and there. But he held back. "I..um..I-" Benatar began to speak, hesitantly. Axel turned to look at him, putting out his cigarette. "You?" "I.. um...I wanted to apologize?" Benatar stuttered. "What for?" Axel questioned Benatar. "For the argument that happened inside..?" He said, looking down at his shoes. "Oh, it's fine, I guess? It's really not your fault at all but okay." He said, muttering the last part. A small spread of blush appeared on both of the male's faces, concealed underneath their long bangs. Although Benatar heard that last part, he pretended not to. He appreciated that Axel was making somewhat of an effort to be kind to him.

Benatar didn't care for the words that Axel and Puff have told him in the past. He was just glad to hear some nice-ish words come out of Axel's mouth for once. "Anyway, if you have nothing else to say I'm going inside. Stay out here if you want I dunno." Axel added, avoiding any direct eye contact with Benatar as he turned around towards the door. "Yeah, I'll probably stay and have a smo-" Benatar replied, but before he could finish, Axel had already been gone. He looked down and lit a cigarette of his own...
