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 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

"Then Wouldn't it be fair that in return, you respect that Jesse is important to me too?"Nathan groaned, rolling to the side to look at his mother, who looked back at him with a soft gaze and a calm smile."Ivan got beat up again by his parents. I just wanted some lamb skewers." He mumbled, throwing a hand over his eyes. "I didn't fail my math test and i wanted to make him feel happy and... proud. But.." Angry tears were slowly brimming at the corner of his eyes, but he did his best to keep them at bay.His mother's gaze dropped, understanding this really wasn't the day for Nathan. She placed a thin hand on his stomach, stroking his tummy over the fabric of his shirt to try to comfort him."I'm sure he was proud of you nonetheless, and so am i."

Strangers With Benefits . Written by Pink-Butterfly . Episode 38: conflict between the squad . "You know when you said we should go on a date i didn't expect you to bring the whole squad." Ivan mumbled, sitting in the very corner of the small karaoke, the multicoloured lights reflecting on his face in the dimly lit room. In front of him was a large table, covered in different snacks and fast foods, the six people he now spent most of his time with scattered around the cramped room, Nathan next to him, Jeremy and Nate also on the seats chatting away whilst sharing a pizza and Hal, Jordan and Sal just getting it with mics in their hands and eyes glued to the screen flashing the music video to Twice "Me Likey" with the lyrics underneath. His boyfriend chuckled as he placed a large hand onto his thigh. "Aw come on baby, hanging out with everyone isn't that bad is it?" Ivan looked up from the space he was staring at to glare at the younger, his arms crossed. "Don't call me baby

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
