Strangers With Benefits .Written by Pink-Butterfly.Episode 27: Hal + Jordan ."Bye Nathan!" Hal yelled as the boy left the locker room to join his boyfriend back in the art class.Hal finished packing his soccer shoes back into his large bag and wiped his sweat with a small towel, drinking some water as well.He then slipped into his indoor shoes, slinging his bag and Jordan’s on his shoulders and heading out, saying goodbye to the few players still in the room.Hal would have wanted to run, but his body was full of muscle pain from practice, so he resulted to dragging himself to the underpart, that was two floors and countless hallways appart from him.Once the room was finally in sight, he let out a loud sigh, pushing the door open.«Hey Mrs Shannon. » he greeted somewhat informally. Being in both the dance and the soccer club, the nurse had seen him a few times for various injuries."Hello Hal." She greeted sigh a large smile. "Could it be you've injured yourself as well?"Ha
Strangers With Benefits .Written by Pink-Butterfly.Episode 28: But it’s on his bucket list ."Nathan, please focus." Ivan sighed, his eyes darting to the ceiling in exasperation.The two had been sitting at a table in the school's library for the past hour, the older desperately trying to get some math into the other's head for an upcoming exam but his boyfriend was not having it.He would draw small sketches of Ivan as a cartoon when he didn't look, would read the equation and just ask Ivan for help without trying then not listening to a word of the explanations.As calm as Ivan was naturally, Nathan was slowly starting to get on his nerves.The library was already pretty packed as is because of the close proximity of exams, a few people looking their way questioningly and making Ivan feel the slightest bit uncomfortable. Adding that to Nathan’s childish behaviour was just very tiring for the poor older."But math is boring." Nathan whined."If you finish all the exercises I ci
Strangers With Benefits .Written by Pink-Butterfly.Episode 29: A little bit of fun doesn’t hurt, does it? .!MATURE CONTENT!If you don't like smut, you can just skip this chapter entirely. (Small synopsis, with the things important to the 'plot', will be written at the beginning of the next chapter.)If you do, then honey you are in for a treat ;)Once Nathan could easily work three fingers into Ivan, he lowered his pants slightly, only to be able to roll the only condom he had into his length and lubed himself generously, lining his erection to Ivan’s entrance.He slowly pushed in, his head tilting back as a low grown left his throat, finally feeling the pleasure he had yearned for since he got hard.Ivan’s closed his eyes as the other started thrusting into him slowly, his head foggy, wondering why in the world he as accepted to have sex in a school bathroom stall but also not complaining because of the pleasure he was starting to feel.Nathan started to go a little harder,
Strangers With Benefits .Written by Pink-Butterfly.Episode 30: oh how he wished to get away from this hell.For all of you who didn't read the last chapter, basically Ivan and Nathan had sex in the bathrooms of their school, but Ivan’s came on his shirt by accident. They then go back to the school gate but it's locked so they have to climb over it to escape.!TRIGGER WARNING! This chapter contains domestic violence, if that triggers you I would advise you to skip this chapter entirely and read the summary at the beginning of the next one.Take care of yourselves!.."Why are you home so late?!" His mother yelled as soon as he stepped foot into his appartement. "I called but you didn't answer did you know how worried I was?!"Ivan looked down, gripping the strap of his bag.When he and Nathan had finally climbed up the gate, as per usual they had walked to the younger's house first because he lived closer to the school, then Nathan had kissed him goodbye promising he would study
Strangers With Benefits .Written by Pink-Butterfly.Episode 31: if you need help, I’m just a door away; you are welcome at my place .For those who couldn't read the last chapter, Ivan went home to his parents yelling at him for being late, then they notice he has hickeys and cum on his shirt so they start hitting him pretty harshly when they understand he's had sex with another guy.Ivan’s mother bit her nail as she slowly drank her warm tea. Hearing her husband kicking things around and blowing off some heat in their room, she thought it would be better to stay safely in the kitchen.Her mind drifted to Ivan, shuddering at the idea of seeing him kiss another man. As much as she had loved her son, the idea was simply revolting to her.She thought of that kid she'd met, Nathan she believed was his name.Had he been the one to contaminate her poor son?The thoughts were stopped when a figure entered the kitchen, limping slightly and holding onto the wall tightly.She recognised h
Strangers With Benefits .Written by Pink-Butterfly.Episode 32: Hang in there, Ivan .The four boys were now all crammed into Jeremy’s room, Sal working on the button of Ivan’s shirt as Jeremy helped him into some sweatpants and Hal just watched in slight shock."What happened to your shirt Ivan?" Sal asked softly as he slowly undid the remaining buttons.The youngest had his gaze hazy, not really looking anywhere as he took in a sharp breath."I got home too late." His voice was still as low. "She ripped my shirt when she saw the hickeys a-and then they were just both really mad."Hal had never felt this bad in his entire life, tears nearly building up in his eyes.Although Ivan had been pretty vague in his words, so much emotion poured from his eyes and then way he fiddled with his hands nervously and hit at his bloody lip, it was clear what and how he'd felt. You could see the horror in his eyes.He slowly stood up from his seat on the ground and wrapped the frozen pees in a cl
Strangers With Benefits .Written by Pink-Butterfly.Episode 33: Come live with Me.“Where is Ivan?" Those were the first words Nathan spoke to Jeremy as he stepped foot into the school.The younger had come to school a little earlier than usual just to be able to see his boyfriend slightly longer only to find the classroom completely empty.And that wasn't normal, because Ivan always came to school early."Ivan is sick." Jeremy said softly. "But he told me to wish you good luck on your math test."Nathan furrowed his eyebrows."How did you know?" His tone was untrusting and low."He dropped by my appartement last night. Now come on you'll be late." Jeremy pressed, knowing very well that if he didn't escape Nathan would know he's lying.The younger huffed, starting his day in a bad mood as he walked towards his class.He sat next to Jacob who was also in his math class, the boy cramming as much last minute information as he could."Aren't you going to study?" Jacob asked, looking
Strangers With Benefits .Written by Pink-Butterfly.Episode 34: Bang Bang Bang ."Come live with me?".Ivan abruptly broke the kiss, both his hands raising to Nathan’s chest to put some distance between them, meeting the younger's gaze with question marks in them. Realizing he was serious by the deep look in his doe eyes, he looked away, eyes focusing on the cupboard next to them."I don't know Nathan." He sighed, raising one of his hands to fidget with the wound on his mouth, nervously picking at the dried blood before Nathan gently wrapped a hand around his slim wrist, guiding his hand away. "You haven't asked your mother, and we'd need to have my parent's permission, and-"The poor highschooler broke into a nervous ramble, Nathan looking at him intently as he spurted random excuses that came to his mind. He sighed, running a hand through his hair and cutting Ivan off."You can say no, Ivan." He said softly.The older cut his ramble, finally looking at him in the eye with a wo
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.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.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.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.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.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.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.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.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
