Bad Birthday Presents

Summary:

Ben's birthday present of a car to Callum does not work out as planned.

So this story has turned out to be much for angst filled than I originally thought - originally the story was supposed to a cute funny story about Ben accidentally getting Callum arrested. It has now turned into much more than that. I hope you enjoy it, I've tried to stay true to the characters.

Chapter Text

Chapter 1

He was going to kill him. Slowly and painfully kill him, Callum fumed to himself, he wasn’t sure how yet but he was definitely going to make Ben pay.

“Sir, do you need anything from the vehicle?”

“No, no I'm good.” He had his wallet and phone from inside which covered all he needed.

“I’m going to release you on a promise to appear which will have your court date on it and a condition to not be in any motor vehicle without the registered owner” the police officer told him as the tow truck loaded up the car he had been driving to take it to the impound lot. “Do you have a ride?”

Did he have a ride? He was on the west side of London, a train stop nowhere near him while the car his boyfriend had given him for his birthday was being towed away because it was stolen with no insurance or registration. Of which Ben promised it had plus was not stolen.

Death was going to be too good for Ben Mitchelle.

And he really hadn’t thought about how he was going to get home.

“Umm, no. Is there any chance you can drive me to a train station so I can get back home?”

“Sure, but you will have to sit in the back due to safety practices. The train is a five minute drive away.” So Callum folded his long body into the small back seat of the police vehicle cursing Ben in his head again. Imagining ways to kill him. Maybe taking his glasses and contacts away then pushing him in front of a vehicle or, even better, hiding his credit cards so he couldn’t afford to drink. That would really make him suffer.

Either way, he had words for his boyfriend once he was back in Walford. And punches.

Right now Callum really understood people’s urge to punch Ben as he watched the streets pass from the back of a police vehicle.
