People dont give Mario much credit. You're only seing it as Mario fancies Ben = Mario is Bens lapdog. However actually looking at whats going on. Bens leaning on Mario = giving him his support. Mario takes the innitiative to say to shabby right lets the two of you sort this. A lapdog never tells his master what to do. Ben relies on Mario more than Mario relies on Ben. This is plain to see unless you're just focused on the weirdness that is Mario touching Ben up.
