Drabble 1: Getting Together

Alright, this was it...the day he was building up to since he was 10 years old.

Every time he looked at the petite green-eyed soccer player, Cash always felt the blood in his veins rush to his face and another part of his anatomy. But he couldn't help it; Ben was kinda hot – like Megan Fox mixed with Amanda Seyfried hot – which was weird since Ben was a guy. But there was something ... delicate ... effeminate ... about him since becoming a teenager.

Cash decided to go to Mr. Smoothy. One thing he knew over the years of obsessively watching his crush – Ben was always at Mr. Smoothy. He figured, buy a smoothie for Ben and Ben would be putty in his hands. As he reached the popular teen hang-out, what he saw made his blood boil with jealousy. There was Ben, already holding a smoothie cup in his hands, giggling flirtatiously at Kevin while leaning against his car. The following words he heard almost shattered his heart:

"Hey, Benji, " God, Cash hated it whenever he heard Kevin call Ben that ridiculous nickname. "Are you free tonight?"

"yeah, why?" Ben asked.

"i figured we could go out for a dinner and a movie..."

"As in – a date?" Why did Ben have to mention the d-word?

"Well, yeah" Kevin said with a pause. "What do you say?"

"Sure. I'll go out with you." Cash's mind was screaming 'Damn! Why did Ben have to say yes?!?'

The next thing Cash knew, Ben gave Kevin a quick kiss on the cheek and climbed in the Camaro with him, then took off. All Cash could think about was 'Why didn't I ask him out yesterday instead?!?'
