Danny's POV

"That means x is parallel to y but perpendicular to z at 9"

Ben's eyes twitched as he stared at the question paper in front of him. He suddenly jolted upwards, "I understand!" he proclaimed. I chuckled. He'd been stuck on that question for the last half an hour. Alisha clapped excitedly, "Good job Ben!"

Alisha was actually one of the honours math students  in school, so she was far better at math than either of us. I knew she'd only suggested the idea of studying together to help Ben out. She was that type of girl.

Ben sat back down, a bit embarrassed by his excitement. "Sorry for making you guys help me out for five hours." I shook my head, "Didn't feel like going home anyways. No one's at home." I said, the sadness in my tone more apparent than I had intended. Ben looked guiltily at me, but I pretended to not notice.

"Hey! Wanna go home together today?" I said a little too excitedly. Ben hesitated to answer. "Oh, actually Ben's gonna sleepover at my place today-" Ben covered Alisha's mouth in panic. for some reason, my heart dropped.

Oh right. They're dating. Of course they'd be...

"O-oh! Woah haha! Don't need to tell me the details of that." I nervously laughed. Ben's mouth stammered, as if he wanted to say something, but he glanced at Alisha and instantly closed his mouth, instead looking at me apologetically.

"What with that look?" I chuckled. "Uhm..nothing" Ben said, now avoiding my gaze. The air was awkward for a moment between us, with Alisha looking between us in confusion.

"Well, since you guys are heading together I'm just gonna...go now? Bye!" I stammered quickly. My head and heart beating faster than Usain Bolt. Ben called out behind me but I didn't turn back.

I had always believed sex to be something sacred. Something you should only do with your mate. Ben knew how I felt about it, and how much I disagreed with sex before marriage. But I guess, he didn't feel the same way.

My head was spinning and I wasn't sure why. Did I feel betrayed by my friend? Did I feel jealous about their relationship? Do I really hate the fact that they had sex so soon?

I didn't know the answer for any of that.

As soon as I arrived home, I locked the door of my room and laid in bed, not even bothering to wash up. I cried all night. Not knowing exactly why I was crying.

"What happened to you?" Robin asked.

My eyes were puffy and bruised red and I had a fever the next morning. Robin visited me after school to give me my handouts and some food.

"I don't even fucking know." I groaned, feeling an intense headache coming up, "I think the loneliness had really gone to my head."

Robin sat on the side of my bed, slapping a new towel over my head. I flinched a little, "I'm gonna pretend like you did not just deny my existence for the second time in a row since you're sick right now and probably isn't in your right mind to notice such a great person beside you."

I rolled my eyes but smiled, "You are pretty great."

"Have you been crying?" he asked, making my mood turn sour again. "Yeah" I sighed. "Why?"

I looked back at the events of yesterday and genuinely answered, "I don't know"

"What a reliable future beta" he sassed. I groaned, "Look I'm a huge mess right now. Maybe I'm on my period? I've been emotional about a lot of stuff lately."

"You're not a girl"

"I could be one on the inside."

"Are you?"

"I don't think so"

Robin facepalmed, "Ok, cut your bullshit and go back to sleep before I knock you out." I gasped dramatically, "How could you curse at a sick patient."

"I'm doing it right now."

The door opened to Ben's crying face. We both were shocked as he looked more sick than I was. His eyes were a dark red colour and he had panda eyes, his skin was pale and it looked like he hadn't eaten anything all day.

"Ben?" I sat up from my bed. He reacted to the sound of his name and started bursting in tears, "I'm sorryyy" he sobbed as he ran up to hold me in a bone crushing hug.

I blinked in confusion, tapping his back soothingly. "W-what? For what??" I looked at Robin for help but he shrugged his shoulders, as confused as I was.

"You got sick because of me" he cried. Well, it's technically true.

I chuckled, "Dude, let go" He hesitated for a moment but eventually eased his bone crushing hug. I help his cheeks in both hands, making him stare at me. Upon closer look, he really was suffering.

"You didn't make me get a fever." I stated slowly. He sniffled, "But I made you upset..." This cute guy. "Why would I be upset at you?" He looked down, "Because I did the thing you hated the most..." he trailed.

Then they did have sex. A part of my chest ached, but I pushed it aside, seeing the state my friend was in. "That was your choice. I don't have a say in it, and you shouldn't have to feel bad about it." I sighed, "Seriously you're too innocent. How are you going to survive without me~" I teased.

"Then you'll just have to stay with me forever." he said with a straight face. I blushed a little, "Geez, you playboy! You get your first girlfriend and you become a player now?" He chuckled.

"Alright well, since your puppy's here to guard you I'm gonna let myself out before it gets dark." Robin interrupted. I nodded, waving a thanks at him. He returned the gesture and left.

Ben was still sniffling a little, kneeling beside my bed. I chuckled, "Wanna get in and sleep? I think you need more rest than I do right now."

Ben nodded, "I didn't sleep all night feeling guilty."

He pulled the blanket aside and laid buried his head on my chest. My heart fluttered and I hoped he couldn't hear my heartbeat, "You cutie."

Ben you cute asshole.
