It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas... || Ben, Jesse, Claire, and Lisa.

It was Thanksgiving, which meant only one thing.

Christmas was twenty-six days away.

Sure, there were turkeys to be put into the oven. Pies to be cut. Tables to be set... but none of that mattered with Christmas music filtering out of the alarm clock's radio and a well worn sweater being pulled over Ben's head.

Claire and Jesse were blissfully unaware of Ben's excitement as they slept. Little did they know that he was going to wake them up, force them to watch the entirety of the Macy's Day Parade with him, and then somehow convince them to pack up their belongings and head to his mother's bed and breakfast.

Lisa'd kill him if he didn't come back for the holidays now. Not that Ben didn't want to, he just wanted his two best friends to come with him this time around. Claire would be easy to convince, but Jesse...? That was completely different story.

I'm just going to casually flip through the channels until I see the Adventure Time float.

"You’ll really like Claire, Jesse’s… well, I’ll let him tell you the whole story." He had grown accustomed to the cambion, but he knew how people could and would react upon learning that sliver of information.

Ben realized a moment later that he had revealed that he had been traipsing around the US with a girl. Maybe he should have gone ahead and told his mom what Jesse was, it could have been a distraction from that glaring fact. A girl. Same motel room. Jeesh, Braeden, good job.

[greetingcardperfect]

And just like that, the seriousness of the moment was changed. Pulling from her son’s embrace with an expression she’d rarely had to give him, Lisa spoke slowly. “Claire?”

It wasn’t a threatening question, but one that he couldn’t skirt around. Lisa hadn’t worried much about Ben in high school—girls had seemed to be one of the last things on his mind, aside from the times when he came home blushing a little for reasons he refused to talk to her about because she was his mom. “Anything you’d like to tell me?”

[theboywiththeblades]

Oh God, he wasn't sure if this was better than her completely flipping out. Ben rubbed at his face and groaned softly. "No mom, there's nothing to tell." And from what Ben had noticed, there wasn't? Then again he hadn't really been all that good at reading people before when they were interested in him... why should that change now? "Claire's just a friend." A pretty friend, but just a friend. 

[theyoungesthas-been]

"Good aside from all that," she murmured with a gesture behind them. "Sorry about it all, by the way. They're just not used to me being..." Shaking her head, Elizabeth shrugged with a mild laugh. "They're used to Elizabeth Campbell, not... Elizabeth Grace."

It was somehow the way she'd come to define the different sides of herself, a distinction that seemed to hold merit at least in her own mind. "But anyway..."

[theboywiththeblades]

He wasn't exactly sure what Elizabeth meant, but clearly it meant something to her. A definition of herself, apparently. "Well, if it counts for anything, I like the both of you." Ben teased, fixing his glasses as they slipped down his nose. "And there's plenty of me to go around, of course." 

Ben was still flexing by the time he reached his truck. Before Liz could even blink he opened her door, a warm smile on his face. "After you."

"That timid confidence that had begun to build between them was almost shattered, but Ben forced himself not to backtrack and make it as awkward as possible between them.

"Well, remember how I mentioned condoms. People use them so they can have sex without getting pregnant, but also so they can enjoy themselves whenever they want. Sex feels pretty good. So um, for guys… well, they do it- th-they have sex where the only hole on the bottom is." He wanted to laugh because that was the most idiotic way of putting it, but it did make the most sense. "Girls have lots of different options, which also let’s them be the dominate one in bed with guys too. But you have to go to a certain store to get stuff like that." He should have just shut up because knowing his luck, he’d have to explain sex toys to Jesse now.

[halfdemonturner]

"A store? To do what, buy penises?" Jesse asked, raising an eyebrow. "I mean, I’m sure there’s some kind of spell or something that could change someone’s sex, but those aren’t usually available to the public. How do they do that?" And there it was. The inevitable question.

[theboywiththeblades]

"...Some stores that specialize in things known as sex toys. They can be used to make the experiences you have more pleasurable. Or so you can enjoy yourself without a partner. Sometimes, girls get things called strap ons." He's covering his face again. "There's a LOT of different things people can use."

[theboywiththeblades]

"…I agree." He kept his voice soft, nudging his foot against Jesse’s, offering the boy a gentle smile. "Whatever other questions I have, I can answer them. Just don’t give me crap about gettin embarrassed, okay?" 

He was still slightly embarrassed, and wasn’t sure what to think about Jesse finding him attractive, but he could do this. Jesse was his friend after all. 

[halfdemonturner]

He nodded.

"Ok. How do guys do it?" he asked bluntly. "If it’s for procreation, and they can’t do that with each other… Well, first of all, what purpose does it serve, and secondly, how? Can girls do it with each other, too?"

[theboywiththeblades]

"That timid confidence that had begun to build between them was almost shattered, but Ben forced himself not to backtrack and make it as awkward as possible between them.

"Fifteen minutes?" Ben echoed. He had assumed that it had been longer somehow, that they had spent days, if not months, together. He’s not sure where this came from, but the assumption had come from the moment he saw the two of them standing together.

He saw then how embarrassed and nervous Jesse was getting, and somehow that made me feel a little better. Even when the other complimented him, wait, what had that just been?

"Wow,  um, thanks." He said with a faint blush. He wasn’t bad looking, that much he could admit to himself, but pretty? Jesse thought he was pretty? Woah…

[halfdemonturner]

"Well, uh, yeah," Jesse said, trying to keep his voice casual. "Of course, I, uh, don’t have many people to compare you to, so you could probably be a hag and still look pretty to me. Not that you do, of course. I’ve met hags. They’re not really all that beautiful." He shrugged, smiling weakly.

[theboywiththeblades]

"...I agree." He kept his voice soft, nudging his foot against Jesse's, offering the boy a gentle smile. "Whatever other questions I have, I can answer them. Just don't give me crap about gettin embarrassed, okay?"

"One, two?!" Ben threw his hands in the air helplessly. The mention of Claire leaves him flustered and confused, and slightly curious… He would have to say none, given Claire’s current condition. "I don’t know any of her personal preferences though. I mean, you’d probably know more than me, given the time you spent together beforehand…"

[halfdemonturner]

"Fifteen minutes," he said. "We knew each other approximately fifteen minutes before we came to get you. That was my plan, really. Get you both helping at the same time." He rubbed his palms on his jeans quickly, unsure of why they suddenly felt sweaty.

"Sh-she is kind of pretty, isn’t she? I mean, compared to other hunters. Female hunters. Not you, you’re pretty, too." He groaned, hanging his head. "I mean that in a way that doesn’t make me gayer than a rainbow."

[theboywiththeblades]

"Fifteen minutes?" Ben echoed. He had assumed that it had been longer somehow, that they had spent days, if not months, together. He's not sure where this came from, but the assumption had come from the moment he saw the two of them standing together.

[theboywiththeblades]

"Well, I haven’t had sex, but you need more than one condom in your life! Like I said, people have sex whenever they want, whenever they feel comfortable having it. Once I know that I trust someone and I’m in a relationship with them, I’ll probably have a lot of sex with them!" Oh, why the hell did he say that last part?!

[halfdemonturner]

"God, how many kids do you want to have?" he asked with wide eyes. He paused. "… What about Claire?"

Ok, maybe that second one was a bad question. He wasn’t sure where Ben stood in his relationship with the one female in their little demon-slaying party. He shook his head.

"Nevermind. That probably is too personal."

[theboywiththeblades]

"One, two?!" Ben threw his hands in the air helplessly. The mention of Claire leaves him flustered and confused, and slightly curious... He would have to say none, given Claire's current condition. "I don't know any of her personal preferences though. I mean, you'd probably know more than me, given the time you spent together beforehand..."

[halfdemonturner]

[theboywiththeblades]

"It’s just really private, and hard to explain. I’m probably going to have to take you shopping to get condoms now or some shit." He brought his legs up to his chest and shifted in the recliner. "Thanks for not getting too personal with the questions, by the way."

[halfdemonturner]

"Why? I can create them," Jesse pointed out. He shrugged. "Well, I think I create them. I’ve never really been sure whether I make the things I summon or I pull them from somewhere else.

"I don’t see how the questions could get personal. I mean, it’s pretty clear you’ve never sexed someone, since you have no children, and your condom is unopened. I can’t think of any other ‘personal’ questions about sex that I could ask."

[theboywiththeblades]

"Well, I haven't had sex, but you need more than one condom in your life! Like I said, people have sex whenever they want, whenever they feel comfortable having it. Once I know that I trust someone and I'm in a relationship with them, I'll probably have a lot of sex with them!" Oh, why the hell did he say that last part?!

[theboywiththeblades]

"…No, but people use it." Better than did Claire have the sex? “A magic anon made her pregnant. They’ve got abilities like you, but no limitations. I don’t think you can ever really repel them.” Ben rubbed at his temple. “But yeah, safe sex is good sex.”

[halfdemonturner]

"Oh, ok." Jesse shrugged. "One more question. Why are you so embarrassed about all of this? I mean, if it’s just human reproduction, you should also be blushing about, you know, seeds and such. It sounds like a normal human behavior, nothing more."

[theboywiththeblades]

"It's just really private, and hard to explain. I'm probably going to have to take you shopping to get condoms now or some shit." He brought his legs up to his chest and shifted in the recliner. "Thanks for not getting too personal with the questions, by the way."

[halfdemonturner]

Birds, Bees, and Other Things | Jesse & Ben

[theboywiththeblades]

"No, no. Shit." He really hated Claire for saddling him with this. How else could he explain this? He pulled out his wallet and flapped a wrapper Jesse. "Okay, inside here is a condom. You put it on your penis before you have sex because you don’t want to get the girl pregnant." Was Jesse going to make him explain more? Because he might die if that’s the case… "If you like boys, it’s more so you don’t get diseases if you don’t know the guy you’re have sex with." 

[halfdemonturner]

"Wait, those things are for sex?" Jesse asked, blinking. "I’ve seen those before. I thought they were ridiculous-looking balloons." He took a moment to think. "Ok, so… you put on a condom, and you put your… penis inside the girl’s vagina… And she… doesn’t get pregnant? And if you don’t wear one, she does?” He shook his head. “This is ridiculous. I don’t think anybody sexed Claire. Is sexed a word?”

[theboywiththeblades]

"...No, but people use it." Better than did Claire have the sex? "A magic anon made her pregnant. They've got abilities like you, but no limitations. I don't think you can ever really repel them." Ben rubbed at his temple. "But yeah, safe sex is good sex."

[halfdemonturner]

[theboywiththeblades]

"Alright, so- first off, any BS about being in love in order to have sex is false. You can have sex whenever you want, it’s not any better to have sex with someone you love and plan to spend the rest of your life with, but you need to… you need to use protection, or you end up with a baby. I personally believe in having sex after I know someone personally and have a good relationship with them." 

He sighed. “So, you have a penis. Claire, she doesn’t just have breast, she has a vagina.” God, that was even worse than penis. “It’s kind of like an outlet. Claire’s parts are the part in the wall, and then guy’s have the plug that you put in there.” He really felt bad for using Claire, but she was the pregnant one.

[halfdemonturner]

Wait, protection? Now he needed to protect himself during sex? How did failing to defend himself result in a baby? None of this was making sense anymore. He watched with a look of increasing confusion as Ben struggled to explain the process, tilting his head slowly.

"So, uh, wait. A vagina is like an… electric outlet? Is that why you need to protect yourself? It will shock you?" he asked.

[theboywiththeblades]

"No, no. Shit." He really hated Claire for saddling him with this. How else could he explain this? He pulled out his wallet and flapped a wrapper Jesse. "Okay, inside here is a condom. You put it on your penis before you have sex because you don't want to get the girl pregnant." Was Jesse going to make him explain more? Because he might die if that's the case...

[theboywiththeblades]

"It’s slang. A little more clean sounding than dick, or schlong." He couldn’t help but laugh. "Penis always sounds really clinical to me." Ben’s still pretty embarrassed though, thinking of how else he could explain the process. "Okay, so, y-you’re probably wondering how someone becomes pregnant…"

[halfdemonturner]

Oh. Penis. Well, he was close enough. He nodded quickly at Ben’s next stammering sentence. Why Ben was blushing about all this was still Jesse’s guess. So far, he hadn’t mentioned anything romantic, which was what blushing was for.

[theboywiththeblades]

"Alright, so- first off, any BS about being in love in order to have sex is false.

"For one, the package down there." He pointed at his own crotch, going slightly red in the cheeks. "Plus, I’m going to guess you’ve seen at least one of Claire’s bras. We’ve got flat chests, and girl’s… typically don’t." Oh no, it was not time to talk about transgendered individuals. That would get too confusing. "You following?"

[halfdemonturner]

Jesse nodded slowly. Bras, ok. So, girls had bigger chests, and they didn’t have… what was that word… pens? Well, something like that.

"I’m pretty sure it’s not a package," he said, as literal-minded as ever.

[theboywiththeblades]

"It's slang. A little more clean sounding than dick, or schlong." He couldn't help but laugh. "Penis always sounds really clinical to me." Ben's still pretty embarrassed though, thinking of how else he could explain the process. "Okay, so, y-you're probably wondering how someone becomes pregnant..."

[halfdemonturner]

[theboywiththeblades]

"Yeah, especially since you’re a dude." Hadn’t Jesse ever gotten a hard on? Oh, Hell, he would have to explain that. Ben ran a hand over his face and sighed heavily.

"Okay, so, anyone that’s human… and I think you too, we were born and brought into this world by our mother’s. Only women can have children- their body’s are built for it. We," he gestured to the both of them. "Don’t have the same inside parts that they do. Same for the outside." 

[halfdemonturner]

"I don’t see what my being a male has to do with my intellect," Jesse said. He listened to Ben, nodding slowly. "So… what does a woman have that we don’t, anyway?"

[theboywiththeblades]

"For one, the package down there." He pointed at his own crotch, going slightly red in the cheeks. "Plus, I'm going to guess you've seen at least one of Claire's bras. We've got flat chests, and girl's... typically don't." Oh no, it was not time to talk about transgendered individuals. That would get too confusing. "You following?"
