Ben: B-Bastian...? C-can you say it again?

Bastian smiled as he looked at Ben...



Bastian: Ben...there's absolutely nothing wrong with you...

Ben: Thanks...

He blushed as he looked into Bastian's eyes...



Bastian smirked mischievously as his hands slightly lifted Ben's shirt...

Bastian: I... always wanted to see every part of your perfection...



Ben: S-stop! Don't... I... just keep it on...

He felt so ashamed under that shirt... He simply wasn't ready for Bastian to see...



Bastian: I'm sorry... I'm a real horndog...

Ben: Don't say sorry... I enjoy it too... but...

Bastian: I understand... But to be able to hold you and wrap myself around you... you know how incredible that is to me?

Ben: I do...



Bastian: Why must i keep falling deeper in love with you?

Ben: Um... I have something to tell you...



Bastian: Is it bad..?

Ben: It's just... my 16th birthday is coming up and I have to...

Bastian: But I thought you inherited the mororian genes from your parents...



Ben: I- I got the markings of a Faeren...

Bastian: I still love you... So do you...?



Ben: I do... I have to go back to my birthplace... back to the place where my life went to hell...

Bastian: So your father...?

Ben: I'm gonna stay with my friends Adam and Dion... I haven't spoken to my dad...



Bastian: I will always be here for you, you know... I want to come with you...

Ben: I hoped you would say that.



Lily: I'M BACK!!!!! SO DID YOU TWO HAVE HYPERSEX?!



both: ...

Fen: Drink this...

Leo: Thanks...



Fen: Are you sure you are alright?

Leo: Yeah...



Fen: I can takew you to a doctor or---

Leo: Honestly, I'm okay. It was probably a migraine or some shiz...



Fen: Sorry... I... just don't like hearing you sick or hurt... I... wouldn't know how else to go on...

Leo:... I wouldn't know how to either...





Dylus looked at his brother and the concern written over his face. He was simply devoted to Leo, wasn't he? Does Lance know how he feels... really and truly? Dylus feel guilt in the pit of his stomach and shifted uncomfortably...



Fen: But that bear looks suspiciously cute...

Lance: I'll understand if you don't want to come back with us...



Fen: No... I will come with you guys...



Dylus: Um... Fen... I dunno how to say this... but thanks for wanting to help...

Fen, taken aback: Oh... um... you're welcome?



Leo: Fen... Please come back soon...



Fen: I... I always will...



Dylus silently lamented the freedom of kissing was severely limited for him...



Fen: I'm... ready...





Fen and Leo took one last look at each other before...



Leo was alone once again...

-----



It felt so strange not having Fen near him at bedtime... It was oddly empty without him...



Leo looked at the bear and grew a fondness. it didn't completely fill Fen's gap, but it was almost... comforting for it to be there...



Leo sadly sighed and focused on sleeping... Fen'd be back...



He... will...





Bear...?! Bear...? Where... where are you?!



Stop playing around! This isn't funny...



Bear: I'm over here...



Redhead: Oh my goodness, I was so worried...

Bear: I'm sorry...



Bear: You look happy you know...

Redhead: I... I had that dream again... About those two people...

Bear: You mean the guy and the girl?

Redhead: Uh huh...

Redhead: He first held me and made me feel all warm and special... and she then said so many wonderful things to me...



Bear: Perhaps if you dream it enough times, it'll come true...

Redhead: No it won't... Only Trason can love something as horrible as me...



new guy: Did someone say my name?



Redhead: Tr-Trason!

Trason: Why are you still carrying that stupid toy around?



Redhead: Stop it... he doesn't like to be held that way...

Trason: You're 23 for pete's sakes. I should do you a favour and burn this thing...



Redhead: N-no! Please Trason... Please don't hurt Bear...

Trason: Oh yeah? Get on your knees and beg!



Redhead: Please Trason... I Love you... and I hope you don't hurt my Bear..

Trason: Love huh?



*unzips fly*

Trason: I won't hurt your stupid toy... If you be a good little thing and show your 'love'...

Redhead: Y-yes Trason... *whimper*



Leo sat straight up... What was that? It was so vivid and real... No... It was only a dream... Right?



Fen was still not back... Leo desparately wanted him back... To chase away all the fears in Leo...



He looked at the bear... It was so soft.. Was it the same one in his dream...?



Leo didn't care and held it close to his chest... It comforted him in his lonliness...

Author's Notes...

First off, I wanna explain Bastian's ... hormonal behaviour a bit more... I think he seriously craves another's person's touch... Intimately and romantically... A year ago (it's been that long?) he was an orphan being used for scientific experiments.

Oh yeah, Ben going to his birthplace dealie... The faeren are largely dependant on the enviroment around them to create energy and powers. when a young faeren is ready to enter adulthood, it's largely recommended to go to their birthplace so the chances of them getting screwed up is lower and they're ready to enter their ultimate form.

Adam = checkieh first ep of '08 yo.

Fen and Leo are smooshy. Personally, I think fen would be the more devastated if one of them got sick/killed. Because humble gary stus have terrible pasts, Fen has had some stuff happen to him and I think Leo is the anchor in Fen's trust...

That dream? Neh, make your own theories.
