Strangers With Benefits Apologies will do
Strangers With Benefits .Written by Pink-Butterfly.Episode 39: Apologies will do ."You're being a fucking asshole." He said coldly, making all of their eyes widen. "I hope you realise that."Ivan was never one to stand up for others, he would just close his eyes and walk away, and he sure as hell never insulted others. His friends knew that, and the ones who knew him well (essentially Nate and Nathan) believed it was partly because no one had ever stood up for him and because he didn't want to unnecessarily get himself in trouble.But apparently Jordan had thinned out his patience, because he slowly made his way to the door, grabbing his school bag along with Sal’s, and placing his hand on the handle under the silent gazes of the five others."You know," He said after halting in front of the now open door. "I really thought that Sal was going to beat you up, so i think you should at least respect his self control."And with that, he was out the door, slamming it as well leaving
Strangers With Benefits Relationship, ruined?
Strangers With Benefits .Written by Pink-Butterfly.Episode 40: relationship, ruined? ."I made tea ya want some?" Sal asked from the kitchen as he poured the boiling water into his own cup."Yeah sure." Ivan yelled back from his spot on the couch of Sal’s house, scrolling through his phone absentmindedly.The two had decided to leave the karaoke place once Sal had calmed down, walking down to Sal’s house calmly, using the walk to catch up and talk.While they hadn't been that close during their hookup times, both had been close to diaries for each other. They would trust each other with their darkest secrets, even though that was pretty much all they ever talked about. Sex and their fucked up lives. But they had grown and were now in a much better place than they were, hence why they had much more things to talk about."five sugars?""Yup."A few moments later, the older was back to join him on the couch dropping his body next to him tiredly and handing him his mug.They both sip
Strangers With Benefits Couples making up and breaking up
Strangers With Benefits .Written by Pink-Butterfly.Episode 41: couples making up and breaking up ."I know sex is your coping mechanism, but I'm not letting you ruin your relationship."Ivan scoffed, fat tears rolling down his cheeks and falling onto Sal’s."It already is."Sal’s eyes were slightly wide in surprise and worry, darting from one of Ivan’s eyes to the other and letting the tears fall on his own cheeks.He slid his thumbs to Ivan’s eyes, slowly wiping his tears away."ah Ivan.” He began, his hands going to his hair, running through his thin strands before his arms were wrapped around his neck. "It's normal for couples to fight."He tightened his grip around Ivan’s neck, making the boy's body fall flush against his own in a tight embrace."They fight, but they make up. You have to talk it out with him, calmly, and then forgive and move on." he uttered slowly, stroking his back softly as he hiccupped."I'm scared, hyung." Ivan uttered between choked sobs."I know you ar

Strangers With Benefits .Written by Pink-Butterfly.Episode 42: we all want dominant Ivan ."Come on let's go or you'll be late." Sal called from the entrance, shifting his weight from one leg to another with his keys in hand as Ivan ran down the hall with a peeled orange in his hands.He slid his shoes on, Sal closing the door as soon as he was outside the apartment.Sal’s sister was already waiting for them in the driveway, having accepted to give them a lift. The two boys rushed into the back seats, buckled their belts and sighed in relief as the car started (Yara wouldn't have hesitated to leave them there if they took too long).Ivan split the orange in two, handing one half to Sal and shoving a piece of the other in his mouth."So..." Yara started from the driver's seat if fake awkwardness. "Are y'all dating or....?"Ivan choked on his orange as Sal rolled his eyes, eating a piece on his side of the car."No sis." Sal sighed. "Ivan is in a happy relationship."Yara chuckled,
Strangers With Benefits Apologies accepted
Strangers With Benefits .Written by Pink-Butterfly.Episode 43: Apologies Accepted ."Thanks for the lift Yara." He mumbled, still in a soul mood from his fight with Nathan."My pleasure sugar pie." She smirked from her seat, waving him off. "Anytime." She winked.He smiled at them, the two of the siblings waved at him once the door was closed, Ivan mirroring them with a small chuckle.Yara waited for Ivan to be safely within the school gates before starting the car again."Damn it Sal, why did you let the dude slip, he was so hot." Yara whined as she looked at her brother in the rear view mirror."I don't like him anymore." Sal mumbled. "Besides, his boyfriend is a good guy, though he did just fuck up.""Oh really? Tell me the tea." She smirked, turning the radio off and placing a hand on the armrest, the other loosely holding the steering wheel."Nothing important, just a few fights here and there. The whole friend group is kinda tense at th-" his sentence was cut off when he no

Strangers With Benefits .Written by Pink-Butterfly.Episode 44: this is what a friendship is like, I think ."God your mom's black noodles are amazing." Ivan moaned as he slurped down the noodles, holding the lunch box between him and Nathan who were sitting together behind the school.The spot was calm and far from the hectic environment of the school cafeteria. Instead, it was the simple sight of the brick wall encircling the school and the grass near the fields.Nathan chuckled, looking at Ivan lovingly as he took some noodles, the two sharing the container."I'm getting lady and the tramp vibes." Ivan joked,, trying to get Nathan to lighten up a little.The younger had been so tense the entire time, and though Ivan had also been at first, he took it upon himself to be the one to break the ice."Sorry for being an asshole yesterday." He repeated, making Nathan roll his eyes."It's fine, you understood that you were being unreasonable and apologised." He said. "Besides, you bro

Strangers with Benefits.Chapter 45: the not so discreet staring at the library . "Damn it i don't understand anything!" Jordan sighed as he let his pen drop on the table and ran his hands through his hair.The group of friends were all seated in the school library (including Sal who had managed to sneak in despite being from another school.)The exams were coming up soon, so they were all starting to gather around the good students that were Nate, Sal and Ivan to catch up on all their problems.Ivan looked back from his work to the math problems Jordan wasn't able to solve. He read through it before sighing and leaning to scribble something on the paper, scribbling a line."Here look, you wrote that 3 divide by 2 was five. »Jordan rolled his eyes and corrected his mistake cursing under his breath as Ivan looked back to his own exercice.Nathan, who was mindlessly doodling over his history homework, dropped his hand on Ivan’s thigh, the older not paying attention to it at all.But

Strangers with Benefits.Chapter 46: walking in on your future step son getting laid . "Hey Ivan?" Nathan called out softy.The boys were in Nathan’s room, having gone home to his place after their study session with the other's at the library, the younger leaning against the headboard of his bed with Ivan’s body laying between his spread legs, his cheek pressed to Nathan’s chest.The older hummed, not moving from his comfortable position."My mom has a boyfriend."Ivan’s eyes opened, moving his head to place his chin on Nathan’s bare chest and making eye contact with the younger chuckling at his double chin."Isn't that a good thing." he asked, not really sure why Nathan looked so troubled."Yeah, it is..." Nathan answered, eyes fleeing from their uniforms that had been thrown around his room when they'd changed to more comfortable clothing, to their book bags near the door.."But?" Ivan urged, seeing well that something was troubling his boyfriend."It feels weird."Ivan looked a

Strangers With Benefits Now, and forever
Strangers with Benefits.Chapter 58: Now, and forever.One fractured, two broken ribs. A fracture in his nose and many, many stitches lining his arms.That was just the start of Ivan’s ailments that were treated at the emergency room that day.The doctor who was treating him had also informed him that he'd need to stay overnight to make sure that nothing was wrong, like ensure that his ribcage wouldn't move the wrong way while the injury was still fresh and require surgery, and also to monitor the treatments for dehydration and severe malnutrition that they were providing him with. Basically, his stay might last even longer than intended.Thankfully, though, he's expected to make a full recovery, and as of right now doesn't need any surgery.Ivan stayed silent during most of the process- Nathan couldn't stay with him during most of it, so whenever the nurse asked him an evaluation question, he'd answer the question simply and nothing more. When they would ask him about how all this
Strangers With Benefits We're gonna keep you safe
Strangers with Benefits.Chapter 57: We're gonna keep you safe. "Hey, Ivan," A woman's voice chants softly, accompanied by a few matching pairs of footsteps. He lifts his head up to see- long, stringy hair falling over his eyes, obstructing anyone else's view of his face. The entire family was there; Nathan immediately came to sit down at his side and places a comforting hand on his thigh, his mother coming up to also sit on the corner of the mattress, and the mother’s boyfriend hovering in the doorway. He makes Ivan a little uneasy.When the brunet doesn't say anything in reply, the woman just takes a moment to scan over the severe bruising on his chest. "Did he kick you?" She asks hesitantly. Nathan must've filled her in on the situation. Ivan nods. Swallowing her thoughts, she says. "Okay- I'm just gonna feel so I can see what's going on. Tell me if I'm pressing too hard."When the boy nods in affirmation, she does as Nathan had and moves to run her fingertips along the
Strangers With Benefits Hurt, but safe.
.. Strangers with Benefits.Chapter 56: Hurt, but safe..Nathan’s already worried before he gets the text; Ivan had been extremely quiet the entire night after he went home, only sending a few messages back and forth at first, and then stopping completely.He's laying relaxed on his bed- of course he's a little unnerved, but he's got no choice but to simply wait for a reply. His phone is clutched limply in his palm. Nathan’s just buzzing in anticipation, waiting for the text that said the boy was okay; so instinctively when it vibrated against his leg he immediately jumped on it to see what it was.It was a text- but not the one that he was hoping for.Upon reading Ivan’s message, he's sent spiraling straight into panic mode. What happened? What did he mean? What was he planning to do? He calls the number- hands already beginning to shake- but it is fruitless. There is no answer. He calls again. Nothing but a factory default voicemail.The longer he sits there, the more realiza
Strangers With Benefits What was all of this really worth?
Strangers with Benefits.Chapter 55: What was all of this really worth?.The next morning came too fast for everyone involved.Nathan could barely bear to let Ivan go home, because he was just too worried for his safety. There were so many variables that could jumpstart Ivan right back into the negative mental state he had been in for this past day, and him going back to his parents made up most of them. How would his dad react to his running out? Would his mother patronize him like usual, or turn to something worse?From what he had seen in their time together, it seemed as though any negative stimuli, when struck the right chord, would shoot Ivan’s mental health right down into the depths. That's what worried him the most. What happened when he was alone.It was hard sending the boy home, but there wasn't much of a choice. As he was being driven home, he thought of his excuse; he stayed the night at the school for a school function. As long as it could draw him mind away from Nath
Strangers With Benefits disappointment was always around the corner for them.
Strangers with Benefits.Chapter 54: disappointment was always around the corner for them. .There wasn't a single thing that Nathan’s mom could do that wouldn't impress Ivan, it seemed, because she was willing to rent a suit for him to wear to prom out of her own pocket. She didn't even have a second thought- and that in itself almost made Ivan cry. But he didn't want to look like a baby, so he just showed his gratitude without any tears. It was a classic, minimal navy blue suit with a tie of a similar color and dress shoes to fit the occasion. The color was meant to match Nathan, who was planning to wear a black suit but with a tie of the same blue- a cute little plan formulated by the blonde himself. Ivan didn't really care what he got- he just wanted to go to the prom with his boyfriend. Unfortunately after being out for almost two hours, by the time they got home the couple didn't have a lot of time to spend together- an hour at the most so Ivan’s paren
Strangers With Benefits something is wrong
Strangers with Benefits.Chapter 53: something is wrong .The future wasn't coming fast enough for Ivan- maybe it was the constant hazing at school and the growing feeling of disdain towards his mother who was now frequenting his home. He was scared to even enter the living room when either of them was home- just stayed in his room and avoided them.However, for some reason, he didn't find himself as stressed about the whole prom thing as he thought he would.This was an important school event for anyone's high school career, just about everyone would be there, and they would probably ridicule him for going with Nathan ; but something about Nathan’s constant reassurance that it would be fine comforted him deeply. Nathan was finally starting to get to him. And he's relieved.“Would you like to come over and rest for a little while, babe?" His boyfriend in question's voice says through the speaker of Ivan’s cell phone into his ear. That voice would always be comforting to him, espe
Strangers With Benefits will you be my prom date ?
Strangers with Benefits.Chapter 52: will you be my prom date .The two boys were in pure, happy bliss their entire evening at the park. Any time Ivan and Nathan were alone together, it seemed as though life was easy once again. Of course, they knew better than to believe that would last after they had parted ways, and that was enough for them to cherish this time.Nathan- who was happy as could be- ate more than normal and had absolutely no problem keeping it down, which was a relief to them both. It helped his energy, the sandwiches they had prepared serving as fuel for his good mood.Nathan was just glad to see him finally being a boy, not a lifeless object that was treated like he didn't exist.They played a few little games; seeing who could skip the farthest rock in the pond, playful tickle fights when Nathan noticed he was reverting back to his normal solemn state to make him laugh again.“Do you think you're gonna leave here to go to college after we graduate?" Ivan asks in
Strangers With Benefits it’s wrong but I want this
Strangers with Benefits.Chapter 51: it’s wrong but I want this . "How long has this been going on, Ivan?" Nathan’s mother asks as she dabs an ointment onto the youngest male's cheek to promote the healing of his burns, her voice bouncing back off of the tile walls of the bathroom.He's got a firm bite on his lip to avoid crying out, along with Nathan, who holds his hand tight.The brunet shrugs his shoulders.“A while- ouch!" He replies, taken by surprise when she touches the tender blisters on his cheekbones.She doesn't want to hurt him, but she has to. "I'm sorry. Just a little more." The woman mumbles, clearly focused on keeping him pain-free.Ivan isn't entirely sure how to react to her kindness; nothing like this had ever happened to him before. This woman, basically a complete stranger, until some weeks ago, was helping him with a smile on her face towards the boy. Of course he had Nathan to thank, but still, she didn't have to do all this. She didn't have to listen to his
Strangers With Benefits home abuse is an ongoing thing
Strangers with Benefits.Chapter 50: home abuse is an ongoing thing .They pull into a moderately sized family home- well kept and expensive-looking, much larger than Ivan’s own. There are no other cars in the driveway.Opening his own door, Nathan gives the boy a smile and cooes, "Follow me, baby," which in itself makes him unable to follow the directions.This almost proves to be true when he finally does step out of the car, and the pain in his head is so overbearing that he has to lean against the car for support; Nathan spots this quickly and comes rushing to his side, holding him up by the waist. Ivan resists the urge to simply melt into his chest and disappear, but he knows it'll only cause more suffering.Nathan mutters a few comforting words and tugs Ivan into the front door of his home as the older fights back tears. His mother wasn't home yet, so he had no problem getting him upstairs and into his room without questions; thankfully, though, she would be in roughly an hou
