//1 hour later//

"So, what brings you here?" Joe asks with a little bit of curiosity.

"Well, I was missing my friend, and you know.. I just wanted to come here again."

Joe tilts his head like a confused puppy, not sure where he stands on terms of a relationship.

Were they lovers? Were they just friends? But 'just friends' don't kiss, right? Joe had no idea about how to feel, he hadn't experienced these feelings before.
-

"How long are you staying here, Ben?"

"Only for a few days, I haven't seen much of America," Ben pauses. "But I like it here so far."

"This is only where I live, there's so many other places."

Ben smiles and gives Joe a little kiss on the cheek, making him blush.
-

"Uh, well, if you'd like to stay here today, I guess I'm not doing anything." Joe says gently, almost a sarcastic tone.

Ben was confused now by his friend's energy, or maybe he didn't understand much of the way Americans talked.

Joe was actually just protecting his own feelings, just in case he'd be let down.

"Yeah, thanks. Do you wanna do anything?" Ben asks, knowing it's mid-afternoon.
-

Joe thinks, and then pretends to think, for suspense. "I don't know. I'd like to talk together, maybe cuddle." His voice barely above than a whisper that last part, but the other man hears anyway.

"Cuddling is always nice." Joe flinched, startled by the comment.

"If that's what you wanna do, Benny. I mean, Ben." He corrects himself quickly, looking determined to do something.

"Yeah, no, I don't mind." Ben stretches his arms out, unsure of the actions he should take.

--

The duo sat on the sofa, Joe not making any moves because he was so nervous around his possible crush.

Ben notices, moving a little closer to see what would happen. As he suspected, the other actor chuckled and tensed up.

"So, Ben. How have you.. been..?"

Ben laughs at the joke, "I've been good. You know. What about you." It was more of a statement then a question.
-

"Uh, pretty good, I guess.. Ah.." Joe trails off, feeling a little flustered, honestly. They only kissed an hour ago, and Joe was having a hard time deciding whether to kiss Ben again. What if it was too soon?

Ben didn't want to rush anything, either, in concern that it would mess with their friendship.

But both boys wanted to feel that sensation that came with making out. The sensation that was similar to fireworks.

Joe settles for cuddling, leaning against the younger man.
-

"You're comfy. I like it." Joe says quietly.

Ben gets an idea, shifting his position so he's leaning against Joe's legs, but there's a playful energy.

"Are my legs comfortable?" The brunette asks curiously, slightly laughing.

Ben pauses for effect, smirking.
-

"Yes, I'd like to think so.."

There's another moment where nothing is said, and Ben starts to crawl around Joe, like a man on the prowl.

"Hm.. What are you doing?"

"Don't worry about it, mate. I'm just teasing you." Ben had another grin on his face.
-

Joe notices how his 'buddy' was being all playful, and he started to question it. "Is this a sign to make another move? Whatever he's doing, it's working."

Ben settles in an upside-down position, nearly falling onto the floor.

"You're a goofball! A madman." Joe says jokingly, taking that he should follow the playful energy.

Plus, it was way less confusing than romantic energy.

"Nah, you're the madman."
-

Joe leans over to stare at the green eyes, but he ended up leaning too far, kissing Ben on the lips, and Ben stared up at the hazel eyes as they touched.

Joe was quick to get up, feeling slightly panicked. "I am so sorry, I didn't know I'd lose my--"

Ben interrupts with another kiss, and they melted together at the feeling of their lips colliding.

"You.. Do you feel that way about me?" Joe asks quietly once they were both sitting back up.
-

"Only if you feel the same."

"I do, baby." Joe decides that baby is a good pet name, especially since Ben's the youngest in the 'band.'

Ben sighs happily, liking that pet name. He held hands and the two stayed quiet for a while, then they were just talking of love.
