Who: Ben M and Noah
What: Intervention, Noah Braxton style.
Where: Leaving the pool after practice.
When: Thursday, January 6th.
Rating: SFW.

Post-practice, Noah's legs were feeling a bit like jelly - despite what their coach had told them, he hadn't exactly done much exercising over Christmas break and the first session back in the pool took a load out of him. He was just thankful it was over. He quickly towel-dried and changed in the locker room and then, like usual, waited for Ben just outside the door so they could head back together. They hadn't really had the chance to properly catch up, so this time was nice.

"So," Noah said, slinging his bag over his shoulder. "I still haven't gotten the really juicy information yet. How were things on the other side of the world?"

Unlike Noah, Ben had tried his best to keep up with swimming during the break. He had an advantage of course, seeing as his grandparents had a pool at their house. He probably could have practiced more than he had though, but he was feeling good by the time all of them left the pool that night. As usual, he'd taken longer than Noah to get changed (seeing as he liked to fuss about with his hair before he was satisfied with leaving), but he tried his best not to take too long.

Once he was next to Noah and the pair of them had begun walking, Ben grinned slightly at the question. Truthfully, he'd had the best break ever. True, there were several low points, what with his and Blaine's argument and the appearance of his father. Other than that though, things were perfect.

"Oh, you know," he replied, turning his head to look at his friend, "It was pretty amazing."

	"Pretty amazing," Noah repeated in a singsong voice, digging his elbow into Ben's hip in a playfully mocking way. He already could've guessed that he'd had an amazing break. London and Blaine and New Year's Eve... it was kind of hard to go wrong there. "And why was it pretty amazing? Hmm?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ben was sure that his cheeks were beginning to blush, a sappy expression on his face. The truth of the matter was that he had returned from London with Blaine even more infatuated with the other boy, mostly due to their spectacular kiss at midnight to ring in the new year.

"Because it was just us." That was the main reason. "I don't know. It felt amazing. Just having him to myself for a while, not having to share. It was sort of like I imagine it to be if things were different and he loved me, you know?" Ben was aware that his voice had trailed off into little more than a whisper at that, and he awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck.

"We had this amazing kiss at midnight. It was one of those movie kisses, you know? Then we pulled away from each other and just looked at one another, and everything was perfect."

	That didn't sound good at all. Moving one of his legs underneath him, he propped his elbows on his thighs before looking straight at Noah. "Of course I do," he replied plainly, wondering where on earth this was going. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"And because I love you, and because I care about your well-being, I'm obligated to tell you the truth, even when the truth sucks ass, right? Because if your best friends can't tell you, then who can?" He just had to make sure they were on the same page here, okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, I know you will." Noah smiled encouragingly and pulled away, but not before pressing a big, friendly, obnoxious smacking kiss against the top of Ben's head. He hopped off the desk. "Come on, we better get out of here. If any teachers see us sneaking out of an empty classroom, it might look pretty suspicious." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Good point. If anything, it'll just boost my reputation." Noah smirked and double-checked Ben was okay before opening the door and stepping aside to let him through first. He reached out and tweaked Ben's cheek. "Love you, Benny. Sorry I had to do it this way." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
