WHEN THE time came, Ben nearly almost didn’t go. Recon or not, all of his preservation instincts told him to stay the hell away from anywhere he’d be able to see Rory with some other guy’s paws all over him. It was irrational. It sucked. He was fucking jealous. Not envious. Not wishing wistfully that he was in this random guy’s place (okay, there was a little bit of that too) but jealous.

“Get your effing hands off my boyfriend before I clock you over the head” jealous. The sad part was…. well, the sad part was the truth. Rory wasn’t his to be jealous over. Yeah. The truth sucked. So he needed to stay home. And he was intensely curious. But he didn’t want to get hurt. Ben really didn’t know what to do.

It took Fen’s incessant texting and even a call from Pinky to get him out the door. Can I bring Keith? Every time he thought about that moment, and damn, he thought about it a lot, Ben wanted to stab something. Repeatedly. He hated the guy, of course. He hadn’t met him, but he hated him. He hated everyone who might have had Rory in the past when he should’ve had him. He hated anyone who got Rory in the future when Ben had to sit there and fucking watch.

He wondered how it felt for Rory to watch him at the end of senior year when he’d started dating Ellen. He didn’t like her, other than as a friend, and he was pretty sure she’d always known. There wasn’t any big sad good-bye for them when they’d split up for college. On the other hand, simply watching Rory walk down the aisle from a distance at graduation had made his heart rip in two. Ben should’ve done something then. He should’ve done something every damn time he wished he had. Maybe then he wouldn’t be sitting at a barbecue waiting for Rory to show up with some guy he was probably fucking. Ben tightened his grip on his beer bottle. It was really hard not to throw it.

“Hey, hon. You okay? You look a little pissy.” Pinky sat next to him and put her hand on his knee. She had no idea. He’d only told Fen that he still had feelings and made him promise not to say anything to Jeremy or the others. Jeremy finally knew about their past, but that was about as much humiliation as Ben could stand.

“Yeah. I’m fine.” Ben took the last sip of his beer. It was his third, and he’d only been there for fifteen minutes. There was no damn way he’d be sober when Rory got there with… him. No name. Insignificant asshole who had his boyfriend didn’t deserve a name.

“Rory’s bringing a date. Is that it?”

“What did Fen tell you?”

Pinky cocked her head. “Nothing. I have eyes, Ben. What is there to tell?”

Ben sighed. Not getting into it. “Nothing that your eyes haven’t clearly told you already. Yes. That’s it.
